O<\/span><\/p><\/div>

ne of the great pleasures of being alive, one of the true reasons we walk the Earth, is to witness other people fuck up. Especially when they\u2019re <\/span>drunk<\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s always a sight to behold, going in directions our minds and wallets can neither predict nor understand. Perhaps we\u2019re not even meant to understand them, for we just exist to be witnesses to such <\/span>fuckups<\/span><\/a>, and remember them when we\u2019re old and grey.<\/span>\n\nIn 2009, MTV decided to monetise drunk behaviour, by adding a dash of sexual tension and a whorl of Italian swagger. It brought <\/span>Jersey Shore<\/span><\/i><\/a> into our homes. The show was hypnotic from the onset, placing six tanned and ripped American-Italian men and women in a house near clubs. What ensued, was madness. <\/span>\n\nThe characters included Snooki, the breakout star who penetrated the older demographic; Angelina, probably a psycho who slapped everyone; Deena, whose favourite pastime was to pull <\/span>down her shorts<\/span><\/a> after shots; Jenni, aka JWOWW who was <\/span>badass<\/span><\/a>; and Ronnie and Sammy, who got together on the first day of a sexcation becoming this generation\u2019s Ross and Rachel (only, more tanned and with less grey matter than the average <\/span>Rohit Shetty protagonist<\/span><\/a>.) <\/span>\n\nI am not even going to pretend. The show was so glorious in its stupidity, its ironic lens unwavering, that it left me and other millennials with a ton of memories, more than enough to last a lifetime. But then news arrived today that <\/span>Jersey Shore<\/span><\/i> was returning in 2018 with the original cast. This is all kinds of wrong. <\/span>\n\n

No one wants to see her grind and puke on dudes after getting drunk or try to have sex with a tree<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\nIt\u2019s cool when people in their mid-20s are getting drunk and partying and living in a house with confusion about sex and hair gel and terminology (<\/span>DTF<\/span><\/a> for the win). In fact, it pretty much summarises my twenties. But it\u2019s a little sad when people in their mid-30s are doing the same thing. I cannot end up like that! <\/span>\n\nSnooki is now a mother and no one wants to see her grind and puke on dudes after getting <\/span>drunk<\/span><\/a>, or you know, try to have <\/span>sex with a tree<\/span><\/a>. No one, especially, wants to see MVP aka Mike The Situation, Vinnie, and Pauly D, reunite and try to pick up women (and some teenagers\u2026 ewww) who are DTF. <\/span>\n\nFrom an entertainment POV too, this trope is extremely unimaginative. The conflict arising from non-celebrities living together, only works when we\u2019re interested in the construct around it, like <\/span>Splitsvilla<\/span><\/i><\/a> in India. The show is interesting because of the layer of romantic dynamics and hilarious background music choice, not because of dumb shit dumb people do. The layer around <\/span>Jersey Shore<\/span><\/i> is merely freedom, sex, drinks, <\/span>fist-pumping<\/span><\/a>, and the party life, which, newsflash, doesn\u2019t really work with 40-year-old characters. The potential entertainment value of the show is a logical fallacy and it breaks my heart.<\/span>\n\nI mean I know desperate times call for desperate measures, but MTV can\u2019t be desperate enough to <\/span>call The Situation<\/span><\/a> back. The channel should also recognise that the show\u2019s original watchers — millennials like me — have kinda\/sorta grown up, and it\u2019s sad to see them digging up our guilty pleasures from the grave. There is no upside to this, only a black, nay, tan hole. It will swallow everything, including young women who will have to sleep with MVP, the people who will even speak with Ronnie, and the people touched by Snooki. And the sweet, alcoholic memories of our teenage years. Rest in peace.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
