Video: This Is What An Inbound LIRR Train Looks Like On A Friday Night
If the camera work on Jersey Shore, which are seemingly (and without reason) shot through an Instagram filter, doesn't induce enough motion sickness, then perhaps you'll enjoy this field footage of a group of B&T folks "coming into the city" to party via the Long Island Rail Road. It's a little bit like Being John Malkovich, except that our unnamed portal manages to grunt out about ten words rather than just his full name.
If you've ever wanted to know what it's like to walk in a dizzy pair of K-Swiss sneaks, fresh from the tanning salon, here's your chance:
The video ends with a bit on a cliffhanger with so many unanswered questions! Will Carmine score with the ladies? Will the female companion who called the narrator "a disgusting pig" discover feminism? Will they reach their destination? Will the gentleman in the orange man-blouse avoid any "temper tamdrums"? Will our heroes make it out of the city alive?

I had to stop watching, I was really getting sick. What a bunch of idiots, they should be ashamed of themselves with their little Snookie wannabe girlfriends. Thank you Jersey Shore for influencing our youth, as if we did not have enough garbage in our city,

People like this have been around for decades. If anything, Snooki et al are the product of this subculture, not vice versa.

Well did they make it to Hipster CITY???

All these comments on who's better guidos or hipsters must not be coming from 'true' New Yorkers. A real New Yorker despises both of these so-called stereotypes and makes no qualms about letting either infiltrate their world view or sensibilities. So either the folks on here are stroking their keys from afar or the belief system of New Yorkers has become quite shaky. Either way, I say this: As a long-standing resident of Gotham, I detest everyone except Fran Lebowitz, E..B. White and the late Dorothy Parker.

I can party with this guys over hipsters in WBurgh any day

I party with both hipsters and people like this. They're both equally fun to hang out with, but so is everyone when you're drunk. My problem with them is that they come to manhattan to puke and fight and be obnoxious and that's not cool.

Now we know exactly why, on a map, Long Island looks like a log of shit coming out of New York's asshole

Whenever a white person calls another white person n-gger... it makes me laugh.
i have an idea to help the economy and humanity. we need to create a massive $3 trillion machine off the south shore of LI. this would take years to build and employ thousands. the purpose of this machine would be to create a series of tsunamis that would wipe that filthy pile of trash off the map. now, before you call me harsh, i am not proposing that we murder everyone out there. we would allow for them to leave, provided they settle somewhere a minimum of 10 miles away from any other former LI resident and agree to be sterilized. this would also be very helpful for the housing market.
the machine would be configured as not to damage brooklyn and queens. unfortunate a buffer zone of a mile or two of nassua would still exist, but we will heavily mine it in order to prevent any further habitation.
I didn't see the part where they hurt anyone. I must've missed that part, based on these comments. And the girls are rather attractive.

Go to the Meatpacking district or Tonic or Joshua Tree on any Friday or Saturday night and you'll see why people dislike them.

I don't need to watch - I've had the pleasure of taking the Saturday night train from Ronkonkoma after visiting with family for the day. The only thing worse than the noise is the stench of cologne.
Mock these people all you like, but the next time youre in Roosevelt Field and your T-Mobile phone craps out, you'll come crawling over to their kiosk with hat in hand

Magical. I feel like these strange terrifying creatures filmed in their natural environment need some Planet Earth-style narration!
