'Jersey Shore' Is Fake!

Video evidence that we've been Snookied

By Corey Levitan Nov 1, 2011 10:42AM

Comedian Sean Klitzner has posted to YouTube an insightful analysis of the ice-throwing incident from Episode 11 of this season's "Jersey Shore," in which Snooki and Deena are minding their own at a bar in Italy when cubes are suddenly hurled at them by the bartender.

 

Bing:More about "Jersey Shore"

 

Snooki retaliates by smashing bottles on the bar and yelling, "'Cause that was mature!"


As a slow-motion replay of the footage clearly shows, however, it's the producer (or some woman with an earpiece behind the camera) who throws the ice. The same woman also can be seen coaching Snooki on when to smash the bottles.


Furthermore, your honor, the bottles contain mixer, not expensive liquor.


So the question no longer is whether some scenes on "Jersey Shore" are faked.


The question is whether you care.


Well, do you?  Sound off on MSN TV Facebook.

Reality TV should just be renamed to what it really is: Improvised Drama
Aren't all these shows just replacing the old soap operas? The only difference is that they take place in real buildings instead of on a hollywood set. It still takes place with actors, and scripted scenes.

There's nothing real about anything on reality TV, even the people are as fake as can be. (Fake tans, fake accents, fake heritage, fake boobs)


I can happily say I don't watch any of it, and the only thing I'll watch on MTV is Beavis & Butthead. :D

Best way to make the madness stop, turn it off.

I've never watched any of these lousy shows. Still can't understand WHY anyone with a single ounce of intelligence would waste their time. I swear these shows kill brain cells. It's pretty sad so many people have such boring lives that they need to watch this crap.

And what "Reality" show is not largely a setup?  The whole idea of people in dire straits when obvioulsly there is a whole crew of well fed and well protected people there to film them should be obviously a setup,  but the masses basically do not think critically about much, be it TV or politics or the economy.

All the crap they have on tv sucks.  It's hard to imagine that people watch this stuff but what is even harder to imagine is that there is someone out there that thinks up these shows.

The show sucks no matter where it is filmed. I find it hard to believe that people watch this crap. Between this and the Khardasians, Jersey Shore, Housewives of wherever, Toddlers and Tiaras and Dance Moms, none of them are considered entertainment.....wh​at a waste of human beings.

Of course many reality shows scenes are scripted and set-up. Otherwise, they'd be boooooooring!!! I do remember Hulk Hogan admitting that a scene in his show where his wife ( now his ex) and daughter went through the son's room, after he came home from a safe-sex conference, and found an opened and empty condom wrapper in his drawer and confronted him, was all a set-up. He denied having sex (he was 14 at the time)-all scripted. The producers put the empty condom wrapper in the drawer. OF COURSE!!!! DUH!!!!  I am sure most of the Jersey Shore cast are very different OFF camera, than ON!!!
