It's a Jersey Thing

In the episode, New Jersey is rapidly taking over the nation one state at a time and their next stop is South Park.

As the Jerseyites spill into Colorado and approach South Park, the town stands strong against the onslaught.

In its original American broadcast on October 13, 2010, "It's a Jersey Thing" was watched by 3.253 million viewers, according to the Nielsen Media Research.

Teresa goes crazy and flips the dinner table and shouts expletives at Sharon, but is calmed down by her husband Joe.

Later that night, Kyle (in a parody of the first transformation scene in Teen Wolf), seemingly unable to control his actions, begins to cut and grease his bushy Jewfro into a style similar to Pauly D's hairstyle from Jersey Shore.

Desperate for assistance, after having built a barricade of junk and handing out a stack of what appears to be lever-action rifles and muskets from crates of mysterious origin, Randy pleads for help from California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who tells him that the state cannot provide any assistance due to budget problems and general lack of concern (then Randy tries telling him that "if Colorado falls, you're next", only to be told that actually Utah and Nevada stand between California and the invasion).

The townspeople are shocked at and deeply against this idea, saying that the feelings of the families of the victims of 9/11 matter for "another ten months" (the tenth anniversary of the attacks).

But then Randy and other men are called to the bar, where in a satire of horror movie clichés, they encounter Snooki, who is depicted as a sex-crazed, barely-humanoid goblin.

As the townspeople arm themselves and barricade the streets to stave off the invasion, Cartman asks Kyle to meet him at the Sizzler, with the intent of locking him in the meat freezer so he can't help the Jerseyites.

However, just as the invaders begin to overrun the barricades, a fleet of al-Qaeda suicide pilots fly in and crash their planes into the ground, killing them all in a parody of Saving Private Ryan.

At a town meeting soon after, Randy proudly thanks bin Laden for his help in stopping the invasion and reveals that their victory has inspired the rest of the East Coast to drive the Jerseyites back to their own state.

[7] Ramsey Isler of IGN rated the episode with a 7.5/10 saying "the fact that the majority of the story was just a half-hearted satire of Jersey shows that Robot Chicken could've done better, is a sign that something's amiss."

Brad Trechak of HuffPost TV stated in his review "As a New Jersey native, I should have been really offended by tonight's episode of South Park.

and "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset" although he stated that ""It's a Jersey Thing" may not prove to have the lasting appeal of the aforementioned" episodes.

Angelina Pivarnick posted a picture of Snooki as depicted in the episode and commented "Haaaaa wat a jokee.
