In Seinfeld the characters are supposed to be miserable and you aren’t supposed to identify with them. People don’t go around trying to put on a Seinfeld persona (at least in my neck of the woods. If your area is different please don’t make me more depressed than I am).
The number of people I’ve met purposely styling themselves after Joey or Phoebe is depressing and it’s more accepted because they’re “normal every day likable people”.
Honestly? Most of the jersey shore fans I’ve known have just liked to drink and dance, relatively low drama and relatively self aware. Not the most amazing people but I’ll still take them over the Friends fans I’ve known.
There is an old adage about freedom that goes ‘you have the right to extend your arm until your fist hits my face’.
The Jersey Shore people will be the type to often go too far and make contact with the face.
The Friends people will lobby to make sure arms may only be extended in pre approved motions with proper regulation and paid royalties on the patented movements, which they strive to own dividend stock in.
Friends.

Gag me with a spoon
Lol I forgot about “gag me with a spoon”
I felt discussing old TV shows called for a classic expression, it was either that or “grody to the max”
Now think about the mapping between Friends and Jersey Shore…
