When it comes to reality television, MTV certainly knows what they are doing! While the network is known for its successes from Real World, The Hills, and The City, it was the release of Jersey Shore that remains MTV's biggest show to date!
The show first came to prominence back in 2009 and introduced fans to Snooki, Jwoww, Pauly, Vinny, Mike, Ron, and Sam, names that would forever be embedded in viewers' minds! The gang managed to get up to all sorts of craziness, whether it was their nights out at Karma or their takeover in Florence, Italy, the Jersey Shore cast was always up to no good.
While Snooki is no longer be part of the series, she remains a pivotal member of the Seaside Heights family, and has given fans some of the best lines, ever! So, who else served up some of the most iconic quotes during their 6 season run? Let's dive in!
10 "You Stalk My Whole Entire Life" - Pauly D
Pauly D was definitely a fan favorite on both the original series and the reboot, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. Well, during Pauly's single days in Seaside Heights, he found himself a little summer fling, however, that turned into something serious quite fast, or at least for Danielle, the woman Pauly had a brief hookup with.
After spying on him on the infamous boardwalk, she phones the Jersey Shore house to give Pauly an earful, however, the DJ wasn't having any of it! This was the first time fans saw Pauly lose it a little on camera, telling Danielle that she "stalked my whole life on the boardwalk," an iconic line fans would never forget!
9 "Wastey-Pants" - Snooki
Snooki was definitely the life of the party, so much that her very first line on the show was none other than "the party's here!" While that line alone is worth mentioning, it was her invention of "wastey pants" that had us all laughing out loud.
Whenever the time came to get their drink on, Snooki found a fun way to put a twist on getting "wasted" by saying "let's get wastey-pants," a line every fan of the show has said at least once before taking a shot!
8 "Where's The Beach?" - Snooki
As if Snooki didn't come up with enough legendary lines during her time on the show, there was more where that came from! While this moment ultimately led Snooki in handcuffs, it was all worth it for what turned into one of the most iconic scenes from the show.
During an afternoon was getting "wastey-pants," Snooki wanted to head to the beach, but had a little trouble finding it. After running across the boardwalk like a chicken with its head cut off screaming "WHERE'S THE BEACH?" Snooks finally found it, despite it not being all that hard to spot!
7 "T-Shirt Time" - R.S.V.P.
Jersey Shore was one of the biggest shows to air on MTV, and rightfully so! The drama, the party's, the everything made it a smash hit, and while it received immense backlash, particularly from the governor of New Jersey, there's no denying that the Shore crew always went hard.
During their nights out, the boys, Mike, Pauly, Vinny, and Ron would wait in the living room, sans shirts, as the ladies finished getting ready. When it was time to go, they would all scream in unison "it's T-SHIRT TIME!" This was a tactic used by the boys in order to keep their shirts wrinkle-free for as long as possible.
6 "You Should Know The Truth" - Snooki & Jenni
In season 2 of Jersey Shore, the cast headed on down to Miami, Florida where they filmed the entirety of the season. During their stay in Miami, things between Ronnie and Sammie went downhill! After cheating on Sam with a number of girls from the club, Snooki and Jenni took it upon themselves to write their gal-pal a letter.
Well, not only did the letter lead to an epic battle between Jwoww and Sammie, but it has since become one of the most recited lines from the show. After detailing what Ronnie had gotten up to, the two ended off the letter by saying "multiple people in the house know, therefore you should know the truth."
5 "Gym, Tan, Laundry" - R.S.V.P.
R.S.V.P, also known as Ronnie, Situation, Vinny, and Pauly, not only came up with a name for themselves but are responsible for countless one-liners! As if their group acronym wasn't enough, the gang managed to come up with one for their favorite pastime, "G.T.L!"
The three letters went on to represent none other than their love for the gym, tanning, and of course, doing their laundry! Who else was gonna clear all that Ed Hardy gear?
4 "Meatballs" - Snooki & Deena
Come season 3 of Jersey Shore, fellow cast member, Angelina Pivarnick said goodbye to Seaside Heights for good! This left a spot open for none other than Deena Cortese to join. Deena and Snooki hit it off during the original auditions back during season one, and while Deena didn't make the cut the first time around, her rapport with Snooki stood out amongst producers, leaving her to be invited for season 3.
Considering both Deena and Snooki are on the shorter side, the duo referred to themselves as the "meatballs," a title fans would go on to call them to this very day! The two went on to create their very own meatball merch line, however, it didn't take much time before they were sued for ripping off the idea.
3 "STAHP!" - Sammie
Jersey Shore was quite the roller coaster of a ride when it came to Ronnie and Sam's relationship. The duo had one of the most toxic on-screen relationships ever! Despite the two dating for most of the series, fans and their fellow houseguests could no longer take the incessant fighting between the two.
Whenever it came time for a spat, Sammie would bring out the iconic "STAHP, Ron," which would later go on to be quoted by just about every viewer!
2 "Cabs Are Here!" - Pauly D
Pauly D was definitely a master at coming up with some rad lines on the show! As if "t-shirt time" wasn't enough, the star went on to also make his infamous line, "cabs are here!" one that fans would never forget!
Each and every time the crew would head on out for a night at the clubs, Pauly would make the household announcement that the cabs are outside and ready to go! Pauly even took the line over to Italy, and put a Firenze twist on it by saying "taxi sono qui," which Vinny provided the translations for!
1 "School At A Bar" - Deena
Deena Cortese never shied away from being her true self on camera! The star was a stellar addition to Jersey Shore and her iconic lines are proof of just that! While her taxi cab mumbles in Italy are quite legendary, fans to this day still don't know what she was trying to say.
Despite her troubles then, Deena always found a way to articulate herself while sitting at the bar. During her time on the boardwalk, Deena came up with quite a smart idea, that "people should go to school at a...bar!" While that sounds fun in theory, it's probably not something Deena could do, considering she was banned from that very bar for 2 years!
