Say Goodbye To Summer By Watching MTV True Life: I Have A Summer Share Featuring Tommy Cheeseballs

Part 2:

Every year, I bookended Memorial Day Weekend and Labor Day Weekend by blogging about the greatest television program that has ever been magically beamed into our homes, True Life: I Have A Summer Share. It was the ultimate display of friendship, love, and just overall life through the eyes of the greatest TV character ever, Tommy Cheeseballs. In fact, I call the glorious, unofficial gap between those two weekends #CheeseballsSZN because summer is technically not over for a couple of more weeks.

But anybody in the cubes or school right now knows that summer is #done, which is why I waited to publish the blog today instead of Labor Day like in past years. Because while the few sad souls that actually had to go into the office yesterday could’ve used a bump, a substantially bigger group of people are nursing hangovers as well as a broken heart from the last few days/weeks/months being over and the only thing that will make them feel better is Cheeseballs, steak sangwiches, and enough preposterous moments to instantly relieve that sadness instantly like a burp from the bottom of Anthony’s ballsack (his words, not mine).

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. It may be more than a decade old, but the Tommy Cheeseballs episode of True Life is unintentional comedy at its peak that still holds up to this day. Pure fucking gold. Tommy isn’t the only star. Far from it. Before we had Snooki, J-Woww and Paulie D we had Anthony, Michelle H. and Michelle F, and the rest of Tommy’s misfit friends showing people around the country that never stepped foot in the Northeast just how RIDICULOUS the Jersey Shore could be (with some fantastic early 2000s music in the background and the stereotypical Cowboys garbage pail that I think every Italian Cowboys fan from New Jersey owned). I imagine older Stoolies will love this throwback while younger Stoolies will laugh as they watch the utter nonsense that is/was Tommy Cheeseballs as we try to run out the clock on the worst day of the year so we get one day closer to football being back to distract us from summer escaping our grasps once again.

NOW HIT TOMMY’S MUSIC!!!

“You don’t appreciaaaaaate meeeeee!!!!!”
