Every few years, popular culture passes out of its old phase (acid washed jeans) and into its new phase (pepperoni P’zone). Right now, we are clearly living dick deep (sorry, but appropriate) within the Era of the Douchebag now. It’s not just that the douchebags have gotten their own uniform (Ed Hardy), or their own odor (Axe), or their own drink (Miller Chill), or their own tan (fake), or their own music (Nickelback), they’re even getting their own TV shows. We’ve already seen the rise of Tool Academy, and there was the little talked about but much-doucebaggy Is She Really Going Out With Him?. And now MTV is at it again with a new show called Jersey Shore, also known as Douchebag USA, or Douchebag Ground Zero, or “home” (if you are a douchebag yourself). It’s really only a matter of time before they get their own TV station. 24-hours a fuckin’ day, brah.

Jersey Shore promo, or as I like to call it, HARBINGER OF THE TIMES, after the jump.

“We’re not even trying anymore. Why should we?”
–MTV

Obviously, we’ve lived through difficult eras in the past and survived. Although, I’m not sure I want to be the one to explain to my grandkids as we sit on the hoverporch, looking out over the glinting, glittery expanse of water that covers the Earth, why people used to think it was OK to watch date rapists fight about pizza, or whatever. “When I was your age, ice cream only cost five dollars.” “What’s ice cream?” And personally, I think that giving douchebags TV shows only empowers them. And if we keep empowering them at this rate, they will soon become too empowerful, and we will no longer be able to emcontain them. That being said, I am obviously going to watch the FFFFFFF out of this.

I already hate everyone on this show so much! It’s great!

  1. Should I go get a runway full of ice cubes? Because these guys need to cool their jets.

  2. How old is that DVR? Does it run on steam power?

  3. there’s something about hate watching guidos that makes me so happy. ‘guido beach’ and also, old skool guidos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eqCBCUawKY

  4. Its really weird how everyone prospers from this but nobody does. MTV’s audience gets somebody to laugh at and these guidos get that tiny level of fame they crave. But yknow, its also infecting me with brain poison so I still lose.

  5. Can’t wait for the hour long christmas special!!!!!

  6. Wait, there are people like this? I thought Nick Kroll invented them… I am glad I am sheltered from this in my land of high heroin usage and impending economic collapse! Let’s watch this, and laugh, ironically!

    Question, do you date me?

  7. Anyone who has seen “True Life: I Have a Summer Share” shout be very excited about this, as “True Life: I Have a Summer Share” is probably the greatest thing to ever come out of reality tv.

  8. Jersey Shore: The Douches Will Be Douching!

    Jersey Shore is the best new TV show ever and everyone knows it. INCLUDING YOU NICK.

  10. The fact that I know this cannot be a good sign, but I believe the show is called ‘Is She Really Going Out With Him?’…..

  11. Guidos: We did this for the show.

  12. This is disconcerting.

  13. “I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to rock these abs, pop mah collar, and look goooood!”–what will be said by every guy on this show I’ll bet

  14. DVR-bombs.

  15. It’s these dinks that make everyone hate New Jersey, and me hate humanity.

  16. I will never not feel embarrassed that I live in the same state as these mouth-breathers. I feel like I have to constantly apologize to the world for them by living in Jersey.

  17. 2000s had the “The Wire.” 2010s will have “Jersey Shore.” Advantage: Not Humanity.

  18. Oh my god, the pit-stains!!!!

  19. listening to GY!BE, didn’t bother to turn it off when playing this video. big mistake.

    i’m scared for the future, yous guys.

  20. Douches. Will. Clash.

  21. you know, in my day, you couldn’t just call a guido a guido. these guidos today, they spend so much time on their hair, they don’t realize that they’re being slandered AND exploited.

    • Yeah, I’m from St. Louis so I’m way out of my element here, but I always thought “guido” was a racial slur. Not N-word level slur, but certainly not something I’d ever expect to hear from an MTV voiceover guy. I blame Carlos Mencia.

  22. “We’re not even trying anymore. Why should we?”
    –MTV, 2002

    there. that’s better.

  23. ‘fist pumping like champs’ = shake weight workout alternative. full disclosure: to find the name of that thing i had to google ‘videogum workout handjob.’ proud moment.

  24. I have nothing funny or witty to add, I just want to say that those fake-brown humanoids with six-pounds of gel in their hair seriously scare the shit out of me. And not in a “they might kick my ass” kind of way. I’m not joking. Every time I see a pic of one I shudder and avert my eyes. After I post this, I’m immediately closing this browser and opening a new one, because those monsters will be staring into my soul.

  25. “If hating is your occupation, I probably have a full-time job for you.”

    What does it pay?

  26. Long Island is jealous.

  27. So I guess I sent you the tip for this as you were editing (HAHAHA, like you edit)…
    As an italian american, I find this show offensive. And sad.

  28. And how is this not just outtakes from “Boys Gone Wild”?

  29. I’ll finally know if Jersey Shore types make the duck face all the time or just for their facebook photos. Exciting!

  30. this will be the best thing to come out of my hometown (area) since the mtv beach house went there. or since kirsten dunst.

  31. Those young men clearly have themselves painted up in doucheface, which I find to be offensively douche-ist. Are we seriously back in the days of “A Night At The Roxbury”? I thought we’d advanced as a people. Sad.

  32. I just want to know how to apply to the full-time job of being a hater. Sounds easy and rewarding.

    • I may already be employed by that man, that is how much time I spend hating him. I’m making very little money though, so I don’t recommend it.

  33. Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see

  34. Didn`t Mike Judge already use his ability to travel through time and make this documentary?

  35. One of my friends told me about a party she went to with a friend. When they got there, the guys were topless and pouring buckets of ice+water on each other to see who was the toughest.

    Oh, this show will be awesome.

  36. Oh man I’m gonna hate watch the hell out of this.

  37. I mean there needed to be SOME sort of replacement for the pickup artist 2.
    Which one of the trailer brahs most reminds you of a young and talented Mystery?

    • Dunno about that analogy. Mystery is a total douche, but he’s not a Douchebag. Real Douchebags like the guys on this show don’t have the attention span to develop Mystery’s highly specialised set of skills for luring women into his slut Dungeon. Also, who needs spray tans and hair gel when you can just plonk fucking foggy space goggles onto your rad snow cap and “peacock” your way to sad pussy?

  38. “…four of the hottest guidos…” Hi, my name is MTV. I said that. I’m kind of racist. Racist-light really. I never said I wasn’t.

  39. oh and PS, RE: the top picture: “Let’s make our mouths look like assholes!”

  40. Between, How I Met Your Mother, Real Housewives of NJ and this shit I can’t go anywhere in the WORLD without people snickering about the state I was raised in. I hate popular culture. You’re all lucky you’re not from New Jersey.

  41. So will Tommy Cheeseballs be involved or not?

  42. not where i meant to put that.
    you win this round “tutukulatu.”

  43. This is exactly why we always called it Sleaside Heights and hated telling other people where we were from. God I was hoping these fucks would go the way of Drakkar and IROCs
