OK so by now I’m sure you’ve seen a ton of comedic takes on a 'Jersey Shore' sketch either on 'Saturday Night Live' or or on some amateur YouTube video, but this one takes the cake because it actually features the stars of 'Jersey Shore'! I did not know they could be consciously funny (Snookie is usually just unintentionally hilarious).
This 'Jersey Shore' sketch features three of the cast members from the MTV hit show, with two of them doing horrible accents. Regardless of that I love this because it shows they don’t take themselves 100% seriously, which is good to see.
All in all, the 'Jersey Shore' sketch makes for a very funny…situation.
