For Guido lovers, what better way to end the year and ring in the new one with the New Year's Eve bash promoted in the Jersey Shore Vinny [MTV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-shore) campaign?.

This Jersey Shore Guido stars in a spoof of the popular [Old Spice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-witcher) ad to promote MTV’s upcoming special. Like the original Isaiah Mustafa commercial, but with some Italian-New Yorker love, Vinny shows off his bare "GTL" chest and Vin-Scent lotion against the backdrop of his weekly venue, a "grenades-free" club. The Jersey Shore Vinny MTV campaign will surely get some Guidettes excited for the fist-pumping party.
