guidos

Please educate me about this term.

From what I've gathered (as it pertains today):
A predominately Italian youth subculture defined by bad fake tans, spiky/product-stuffed hair, a severe lack of intelligence, roid rage, a compulsorily need to go to the club and rock either a popped collar, a bare chest, or both, and general meat headiness.
Also, if there's a camera pointed at you, ya gotta make kissy faces.
The term is somewhat derogatory (the same way "Chavs" are in Europe) though it's been somewhat adopted by those that partake. 

Having said that, I've never met any of the hard core ones like we see on the internet... maybe there are some in New Orleans, but it's pretty much an east coast (NY/Jersey/surrounding areas) thing.

I go to a state school in Jersey and these types are EVERYWHERE! They don't call themselves guidos though, and they don't like to be called it. Half arn't even really italian either.

Ah, cool... I'm just going by what I've seen online. I know the old-school guidos were typically Italian dudes with hair gel, awesome moustaches, a few top buttons undone to expose the gold chain and chest hair, and a few fat rings. Sort've like a mob lackey.

PS
...plus a Members Only jacket or sweats.

The ones on the Jersey Shore show are really reclaiming the word. They are proud guidos. Did anyone see a year or so ago, maybe more, MTV had an episode of True Life, and it was "True Life: I rent a time share on the Jersey Shore." Very groundbreaking journalism compared to the rest of the episodes dealing with drug addicts or people with AIDS and shit.

Maybe one day i can join them...

Also:

Why didn't anyone go down there and physically harm those dudes?

I'll at least give them credit for (usually) hanging around some good looking ladies, but even then I know those ladies would probably lose any attractive qualities once they started talking. Yeesh.

scary tan guy, lee hotti is a freckly albanian. you ain't no real guido, get outta here 

[McDuff]

hahaha. i actually live in toms river, nj which is right next to seaside heights (where these people are living). over the summer i saw them filming a few things.... these dudes look even more ridiculous in person: a lot tanner, more shiny, and smaller. the tommy cheeseballs summer share true life was bad, but this takes the cake.

but yeah, seaside is the hot spot around these parts, and every summer groups of guidos flock here.  picture thousands of these dudes all concentrated in one area, getting shitty, trying to slay any girl in their path. and yes, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. this isnt some shitty stereotype.... this is why i never go to the beach..... and sharks....

The best is when the guy points to his stomach and goes, "We have a situation here."

Then he lifts up his shirt and shows that the situation is his beautiful abs.

before punching that guy,

Pauly D: "The Situation says to me, I think we got a situation here."

do you mean to tell me that there is a guy who refers to himself as "the situation"? looks like i just figured out how to spend this snowy saturday. i need to see this show.

[Dr. Evan]

In Fort Worth we don't get guidos, at least not that i have seen.  It is my most sincere hope as i watch this show that people like this really exist.  Of course, MTV likely embellishes how ridiculous these people are, but i think that this is the funniest show to come out in recent memory.

[sven thorkel]

It's funny how i just watched the first episode and get on SLAP and there's a thread on this. This show is too funny.

My favorite thing is how they always refer to that girl as snickers or something, never "Snooki"

sausage and peppers...killing it

couldn't stop laughing

[PatrickSkateman]

Missed the episode in it's entirety cause it coincided with It's Always Sunny.  Hopefully it comes up on On Demand soon so I can watch this awesomeness.

My God that is a fuckin punch. At least it's not Ronnie like I thought. I really didn't want to believe that my sweet, sweet Ronnie could do something like that. Even if it was to an annoying bitch called Snooki.

Dude, the guy's slow turn towards her before the fast punch is so diabolical.

[jack burton]

that is wayyy to tall to be snooki. im guessing maybe the girl sam.

if you look at the cheeks you could tell it is snickers. She was most likely standing on something.

as funny as that punch is, thats still fucked up.
