hello everyone i hope you're having the most awesome day today welcome to the
Film Insight channel for today's video we're going to uncover which moments in Jersey Shore
were real or fake so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right into the content guys
gtl catchphrase back when it debuted in 2009 jersey shore slowly became one of the most
talked about shows of that year and beyond its reach spread so far that some of the cast
members became household names and so did their catchphrases and mannerisms the most well-known
catchphrase of all was gtl which was an acronym for gym 10 laundry this saying was often used
as a standard of living for the jersey shore guidos who always wanted to look their best
if we pinpoint exactly who possibly coined this saying we'd look towards the situation who was the
first member to say this in the series due to this fact mike sorrentino on the show became synonymous
with gtl long after it was introduced however what many might not expect is that sorrentino
wasn't actually the person who coined the phrase in fact it was an acronym created
from the shadows by the production team in the series while reviewing footage of the four guys
supposedly since the male cast would always repeat gym town laundry each time this ritual would occur
which was very often they needed to figure out a short-handed version for it it was at this moment
that they came up with gtl which the situation seemed to have liked a lot so if it ever happens
that you ever hear this thing in your lifetime you'll know how it really came to be snooki fight
anyone who is a true fan of the show would never forget the moment that not
only changed how people saw snooki but also brad farrow who is an instigator in this situation
while a lot of reality tv altercations and brawls are faked this very real moment in the
104th episode called fade to black shocked many in the infamous episode snooki confronts pharaoh
after he rudely takes a drink that was supposed to be for her and her friends oddly even if he
was the person who started all this he decides to lay snooki down with a swift punch of the face
the assault itself was omitted from the original episode that aired on mtv however the original
clip was leaked on the network's website things quickly spread over the internet when people began
to repost the clip on youtube and other sharing sites following this episode pharaoh who was a
gym teacher got fired from his job and was barred from being hired really anywhere else he was also
charged with simple assault given a sentence of six months probation with the addition of anger
management classics as a result of the merciless backlash he got from what he did in the episode
pharaoh was reported to have joined the army since he couldn't get a job anywhere else even if all of
this must have been extremely traumatic to snooki she did express that it wasn't all that negative
since that fateful night the cast was brought closer together when they gathered to support her
what an intense episode the note there were certainly a lot of noteworthy moments to behold
throughout the many seasons jersey shore has to offer from pauly d being stalked by some creepy
woman to the situation voluntarily bashing his own head into the wall so many episodes left viewers
feeling shocked however one specific moment in the second season of the show has to probably be the
most memorable sami sweetheart giancola finds an anonymous note that reveals the truth about
her unfaithful boyfriend ronnie ortiz-magro later on it was revealed that the letter was written by
some cast members who were sick of margot taking advantage of his loving girlfriend
not only getting into a fight with her boyfriend giancola did with snooki and j wow as well who
were behind the letter according to some reports the show's producers actually stepped in and
contributed to the drama to ram things up through an interview with vulture snooki explained we
figured sam would never know it was us because we didn't have access to phones computers or printers
we were hoping that if she found it she would think that the producer was giving her a heads up
though this is not what happened and what they actually did will shock you
the producers made sure to tell her no it wasn't us it was one of your roommates which
is what kickstarted the whole entire fight while you can partially say that this whole
fight was real it was lightly scripted since the people in charge made sure things got heated
historical sights as mentioned the jersey shore cast became instant celebrities almost overnight
from their time on the show people would tune in with joy to watch the crazy and notorious behavior
the cast would display in literally every episode although even if they were widely liked others
found their extravagant way of acting to be a bit of a turn off in fact due to some of the things
they've done in the past the city of florence became extremely concerned reported by cbs news
apparently before the jersey shore booked their visit to florence the producers asked for a seal
of approval from officials however once they reviewed some of their previous episodes they
determined that the cast members behavior was way too intense for their historic city so the
mayor of florence matteo renzi decided to simply forbid them from doing certain things one of the
biggest things they were barred from doing was going to any historical sites during their stay
additionally they were restricted from painting florence as some city where you can go to drink
since that's what they did a lot of in new jersey they also forced the camera crew not to record the
cast drinking if they were in public which made things very difficult especially since all of
this is very much real it's extremely funny how conservative florence is when compared to jersey
shirt shop we all know that at best the jersey store cast members were a bunch of ruleless drunks
who just wanted to party so you can say with confidence that they weren't exactly the most
ideal people to employ at really any establishment since they were supposedly living at a home that
was borrowed they were expected to work in return owned by danny merck he let the cast stay in his
jersey shore home if and only if they worked at his store he even went on to name the situation
as one of the laziest workers of the household but this was just all for show in fact not only
was their employment at this boardwalk shirt shop faked but the customers who came in were as well
it was exposed that local residents and those who were fans of the series had to sign up in
advance to be able to visit the shop this wasn't exactly shown in the show but the
quote-unquote customers would wait in line for hours just to get the chance to meet the cast
when it came time for the people to finally visit the shop they were given some instructions
beforehand they were told to walk around the shop naturally as if they weren't in the presence of a
famous reality star how would you guys react in this situation chris christie again while
jersey shore is an amazingly entertaining show it is by no means universally light which we
proved by renzi's reaction to the cast visiting florence in a similar case to the one we presented
new jersey's own governor does not have the highest opinions of the show apparently the
reason why he didn't like the series was because it didn't give the best depiction of his state
this outspoken governor has already expressed his rejection of the show in numerous interviews
for one interview he said they parachute these new yorkers into seaside heights new jersey and they
try to make the whole country think that this is new jersey it's bad it's bad for new jersey
it's bad because it's a mischaracterization of the people who are here in new jersey and
so i've said all along that i think jersey shore is bad even though he got the chance to
visit the set during the show's filming he never backed down from his strong dislike of the series
do you guys agree with his views italian-american a very prevalent theme that was found consistently
throughout the show was the depiction of young italian americans having a blast in new jersey
often they would self-name themselves as guidos and guidets being very proud of their italian
heritage so much so that even the house they lived in had a garage that was painted with a huge flag
of their country although there are some things that fans might not really know about that will
certainly shock you the truth is that some of the cast members were not even close to italian
american which confused a lot of viewers in 2012 us magazine reported on the fact that jenny j wow
farley admitted that she didn't have any italian descent on top of this to everyone's surprise
nicole snooki polizzi wasn't italian either having more of an asian background than anything
despite not being actual guides the two of them are still very popular members of the cast well
