'Jersey Shore' Stars Flunk Ellen's Basic Trivia Quiz

By Bryan Alexander Posted Feb 5th 2010 08:46PM

Our friends from the 'Jersey Shore' will not be hitting the celebrity game-show circuit once their 15 minutes of fame is up.

In one of the more hilarious clips ever from an upcoming "Ellen" show, three of the 'Jersey' stars failed miserably to answer simple questions from the trivia game "Know or Go!"

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, and DJ Pauly D were each sent through the trap door after being stumped on bonehead questions. This even with a New Jersey theme and Ellen DeGeneres giving as much forgiveness as humanly possible from the podium.

DJ Pauly D. took all of 15 seconds of swaying and umming to answer his first question. "Which New Jersey City is Newark Airport in." He finally answered "Newark." There was massive applause when he concluded that with monthly electric bills there would by 12 payments in a year (duh!). But he was stumped when he couldn't remember the slogan for Olive Garden.

"We don't pump our gas, we pump our fists," he grinned in answer before being dropped through the trap door.

The Situation did no better as he was unable to tell Ellen what "bon" meant into French. "That's my question?" he cried. "Might as well just drop me."

Ellen let him continue and he managed to name the four seasons. It only took him 16.9 seconds.

But he was finally sent down for not knowing the host of CNN's "Situation Room." As the studio audience cheered, he was sent down the chute after asking for a hint.

Snooki was even worse, first incorrectly stating that New Jersey fought for the South in the Civil War. She was forgiven. But Ellen pulled the switch when Snookie was asked to name the 13 original colonies.

"All of them?" she cried. "New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island...Canada."

That was the end of that. The "Ellen" show airs Feb. 8

You can't really call them stupid, because I don't think George W. Bush would have done much better.

No they are stupid, and what is even worst is that these are the people they give shows to. I mean really?! These are people who you want your teenagers to idolize and want to grow up like? Ever seen the movie "Idiocracy"? Well at the rate we are going that will be America in the next 5 years.

Newark Airport is in Elizabeth, NJ

By Stephanie

Yes, it is in Elizabeth, but it is also in Newark. It is within the city limits of both cities, but it is owned by Newark.

If Bush was so stupid then how did he keep us from being attacked for 7 years? Stop drinking the kool-aid and wake up. Obama has only made promises and done nothing. All this with a democratic senate and house. Is that what you want? These Jersey Shore idiots and our president represent the dumbing down of society.

George Bush was the greatest man that has ever lived.

Bush was a moron. Plain and simple. If you don't see that. You are stupid. It's that simple

By Skeptic

We were attacked at atleast 4 places on 9/11 under the Bush watch and you want to praise him because were weren't attacked for 7 years after that? That's like saying your wife screwed around on your four times, but she is trueblue now that she hasn't screwed anyone else in the last 7 years. And there were later attacks during the Bush presidency.

Many of you Democraps and Liberals keep saying that Pres Bush was not a smart person....actually he was/is very intelligent, he was/is just not very articulate. The inablility to speak intelligently does not mean a person isnt smart...after all, look at some of you in here, we'd never guess there might be intelligence there after reading your blogs.

By dug

And yet you read the blogs. What does that say?
