Minicap: Jersey Shore

MiniCaps

By SuburBint | | 8:30 am | 22 Comments

This week’s minicap is dedicated to the non-sentient characters of the Jersey Shore house, who never get to tell their side of the story.

The Duck Phone: JMomm and Paul Bunyan bicker and then make up over it. Snooki fails to use it to let Danny know that she’s going to be late for work due to another UTI related doctor’s appointment. And then it has to listen to Mike continue in his master plot against Snooki and Gionni. Poor little phone.

Mike’s conscience: Is conspicuous by its absence.

Team Meatballs: Can’t even successfully follow the instructions on a box of cake mix without requiring intervention and assistance from their housemates.

The Apology Cake: Has a piece mysteriously go missing after being left alone with Mike in the kitchen after everybody goes to bed. Is still given to Danny, and gets mashed in Deena’s face.

JMomm’s and Snooki’s brand new extensions: Look ratty and gross.

Snooki’s UTI: Is fed copious amounts of alcohol on top of antibiotics. This is how superbugs are born.

Best line of the episode: “I have no idea what I’m talking about. I’m not thinking, I’m just talking.” (Snooki)

If you need to refresh your memory about what happened in the last episode, you can catch up here. I’ll have the full recap up in a couple of days.

About

After giving birth to her fourth child, SuburBint carefully weighed the options and decided that recapping reality TV was probably a better choice in the long run than alcoholism. Liver function tests have yet to confirm the wisdom of this decision. Being an honest-to-goodness recapper is also a dream come true, as she has aspired to do this ever since discovering that such a thing existed way back in 2002.

Her favorite shows of all time include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Coupling, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Firefly, Community, Parks and Recreation, Doctor Who, and Veronica Mars. She can also quote The Big Lebowski in its entirety, and will do so with little to no provocation.

    Credit where credit is due, SuperB! Especially the duck phone. How about the poor mattresses?

    The “cake” looks like a pan of lasagna gone horribly, horribly wrong. Love, SSC

    Thank you. I did think it captured my good side.

    I was thinking of all epis, not just this past one. Those poor mattresses have taken so much literal crap in the past. Among other things. Double love, SSC

    SuperB, you are the bomb! I actually had a little fun with this episode and wasn’t left wondering why I still watch (well not wondering why THAT much).

    I am tired of all of the action happening in the last four minutes of the episode where Pauly’s voice over says “There’s a lot more Jersey Shore coming up RIGHT NOW!”

    Like, WTF did we just spend the first 56 minutes on?

    Oh SuperB! Methinks you stawted sometings. You must admit that you didn’t specify this epi for abused non-sentient cast members. I am always thinking more than I say (I know, hard to believe) and speak in short-hand, leaving hubbycat and friends drop-jawed and confused. There are so many things abused in this show. Just this year. I mean we could even include the ‘fridge if we were to mine the treasures in previous years. Love, SSC

    You forgot the house itself, which is just biding its time till it can be declared a Superfund site and retire.

    SUPERFUND site is running rampant on this site! IT’s all one big heap of trash!

    The scary thing is you can actually rent the house and it is wicked expensive. I can’t understand why someone would want to stay there unless they were filming an episode of CSI and just wanted to black-light the place.

    You could tell Danny just puts up with these characters, he knows it is sadly bringing lots of business to his store. Snookie complaining about actually doing what would be required of her was just sad.

    How about a moment of silent reflection for the hot tub? And it’s water with the same viscosity and protein content of a can of Ensure.

    I can’t believe they stretched a UTI into a main storyline for what 2 or is it 3 episodes now?

    @ BellicoseBaby -for real! Just think, just a few years earlier and we could have had a season for each cast member dedicated to their first STD.
    I’m sure that ship has sailed from every port by now.

    Buffy, not only has that ship sailed from every port, it won’t be welcomed back. Ick.

    It’s strange that the comments about this show have spawned a life of their own. SuperB gets the ball rolling and we take off with it (for another metaphor). There is just so much to say about all the terriible people who do so many awful things. The Housewife franchise has nothing on this show.

    Is there anyone who believes that they “work” and look for “willing” partners anymore? Look at the crowds as they celebrate birthdays in Vegas and open new night spots. It’s just a sitcom without writers. Love, cynical ol’ SSC

    YES— the UTI story line is like a PSA—-am shuddering at SNooki revealing oh so matter-of-factly that she “had like ten in the past year”. Damn–she is like a sciece project!!!! But am thinking mayhap it was more of an STD

    I’m actually working on it right now. Between everybody here being sick, and computer problems, it’s been like pulling teeth to get this thing written. But I should have it up tonight before the next episode airs… depending on which time zone you’re in, lol.

    Luv ya SuperB!!!! I’m sorry the Bintlets have been sick. Been there, mopped it up myself. But we had so much fun with the mini-cap I couldn’t wait to see what trouble you stir up with the fullcap. You are a victim of your own success- and cleverness. Love, SSC
