2009 was a simpler time. Leggings were the newest fashion, Taylor Swift was still a country singer, and MTV was airing the best reality shows. One of these that would change our lives forever was Jersey Shore. While we loved all the crazy people on the show (except Angelina), the bromance of Pauly D and Vinny was by far the best part of all six seasons. Here are 16 of the best moments from Pauly and Vinny's friendship that will make us all want to watch a Jersey Shore marathon.
1. Their prank wars. Some of the best include: Putting all of Deena's furniture on her bed, hanging Snooki's stuffed crocodile off the roof, and, of course, turning the house inside out by putting all the inside furniture outside and vice versa.
2. When Pauly took Vinny to get his ears pierced and told him he looked "fresh to death".
3. When Vinny introduced Pauly to his family in Italy.
4. "Fist pump, push-ups, chapstick"
5. "It's T-Shirt Timeeeeeee"
6. "Cabs are here", which every college student now gets to use every weekend.
7. When Vinny left the Jersey Shore to "recharge" in season five and Pauly D was on the verge of tears.
8. Their reaction anytime drama was happening.
9. All of their "she's too young for you bro" jokes.
10. Their handshake.
11. Those adorable moments that showed they were low-key dating.
12. Helping pick out (and making fun of) each other's outfits.
13. Their nicknames for each other.
14. Always having each other's backs -- AKA protecting each other from grenades.
15. The creation of "GTL" and "STD".
16. And of course, fist pumping.
To the best bromance of all time -- you'll always be friendship goals.
