Jersey Shore is back in our lives as the gang have all reunited to take a family vacation together. And tbh, we’ve never felt more complete.

But as the excitement hit, the shock of how much of the first episode I couldn’t remember also surprised me. What was this? Who even am I? So I immediately went onto MTV.co.uk and watched the best bits to jog my memory.

CHECK OUT THESE EXCLUSIVE VIDEOS FOR JERSEY SHORE: FAMILY VACATION...

After heading back to 2010 it turns out I had a BUNCH of thoughts about it...

1. OMG Jenni’s tagline

“After I have sex with a guy I will rip their heads off.”

2. Pauly D looks exactly the same...

The amount of hair gel he brought to the house was INSANE.

3. Snooki’s makeup is a thing of dreams...

I miss seeing that on a weekly basis tbh.

4. Mike really did have a situation

Those abs were great.

5. But wow he couldn’t have loved himself more...

Oh Mike.

6. Remember when grinding was a thing?

God we feel old.

MTV

7. And wearing shorts on a night out?

LOL.

MTV

8. They’re kinda anti non-Jersey shore folk...

“If you’re not a guido you can get the f*ck outta my face.”

9. We don’t remember Vinnie hating everything Pauly D was about...

That changed.

10. JWOWW was actually terrifying...

And those blonde extensions. Amazing.

11. Ronnie didn’t want to fall in love at the Jersey Shore...

Cue day two...and the seven years that followed.

12. Angelina had a boyfriend?

Poor guy.

13. God I want Italian food...

Pizzzzaaaaaaaa.

14. I wonder how many lip balms they went through?

Keepin’ Carmex in business.

15. I do not remember that they were pretty much all from New York...

Holly Hagan got so much beef for being from Middlesbrough and not Newcastle when she started on Geordie Shore. 

16. Wow Vinnie had high standards...

“Sammi isn’t the hottest girl, I would expect someone hotter.” Okay judgey.

17. Vinnie just called himself VWOWW...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

18. Snooki fancied Ronnie...

OMFG.

19. Has Angelina packed her clothes in a bin bag?

Oh yes she has.

20. Watching Snooki get drunk is like watching a car crash about to happen...

DON’T DO IT SNOOKS.

21. Didn’t the furniture on the roof get wet when it rained?

Was it some poor guy’s job to move it?

22. We can’t watch Snooki in the hot tub...

NOOOOOOOOOO.

23. Ah the sweet sound of the duck phone...

How I’ve missed it. Can you still buy them?

24. Snooki trying to work out the phone is a highlight of life...

I want to watch that every day for the rest of time.

25. It’s so strange that Mike and Sammi had a thing...

It’s giving me anxiety.

26. Now that I’m older, I kinda fancy Danny the store owner...

Is that weird?

MTV

27. They were all such good cooks....

HOW?

28. Was Mike secretly a feminist?

Pauly insisted that “Girls are supposed to cook and guy are supposed to eat, that’s how it is. But Mike did his thing." HE COOKED YOU GUYS.

29. Oh never mind...

He’s now ‘fishing’ for girls.

30. They just picked up random girls from their balcony....

They didn’t even leave the house.

31. WAS THAT THE FIRST THREE-WAY KISS TO BE ON TV?

I feel like I just witnessed history.

MTV

32. Sam’s Chanel bag is very Lauren Conrad circa 2009...

What a great fashion era. Lol not.

33. Pauly is 29 in this???

WHAT? MIND BLOWN.

34. How old is he now?

Huh, he’s 37.

35. What skin care does he use?

Because holy moly he looks great.

36. Snooki’s hair was a thing of genius...

Iconic.

37. Imagine if she had actually left the Shore?

The entire world would have been different.

38. That was the best 40 minutes of my week tbh...

BRING ON THE FAMILY VACATION.

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation starts in the UK on Monday 9th April at 9pm - only on MTV!
