MTV's creation of "Jersey Shore" brought reality TV to a new low. While we may never get over this group of people trashing the coast of New Jersey in six short seasons, we still tuned in every week to watch the ridiculousness unfold (because we secretly loved every minute of this brain cell draining show). So let’s take a trip down memory lane (or the streets of Seaside Heights) and rediscover our love for the Jersey Shore.
1. The Pouf
While we may have a new man bun trend, nothing can beat the debut of the pouf that changed our middle and high school hair for a solid two years. Shout out to bump-its.
2. Transportation
Shouting "cabs are here" any time we go somewhere always made for an epic start to any night.
3. The Meatballs
The OG friend goals, the modern day dumb and dumber, the meatballs; AKA Snooki and Deena....riding the hot mess express every day and we loved every minute of it.
4. Karma (Or "Kahhhmaaah" according to Pauly D).
From Ron beating up someone on the boardwalk to his dance battles and ultimately fighting with Sam, their nights out continued to amaze us both with their stupidity and their fun.
5. The Fist Pump
This move changed the dance-off game forever. Thanks Pauly and Vinny for this iconic trend in clubbing.
6. Advice
From inspirational relationship advice to threats, the advice never ended from Seaside to Miami, and even Italy. They continued to share these nuggets of wisdom despite it not making sense most times.
7. "Rahnnn Stahpp"
Ron and Sam. We love to hate them and who can't say that they don't secretly hope they end up together in the long run. But Ron, you're still traumatizing us after that letter fiasco.
8. Getting Ready 101
Their routine from GTL to t-shirt time, these guys had it figured out.
9. The Drama
Possibly the best part of the show was the petty drama. While Mike started most of it, it never failed to make us laugh.
10. The Fights
With 90 pounds of Snooki, she did some serious damage and proved to be an inspiration to short girls everywhere.
11. The Brotherhood
This ultimate bromance of Vinny and Pauly may be the reason we miss the cast the most.
Since the dreaded day of December 20, 2012; we've been in a post-Jersey Shore depression. But hey, at least Ron and Sam are back together. MTV, how about a reunion?!?!
