Joisey	comment	In the media, New Jersey is often portrayed one of three ways: An overgrown Little Italy. Everybody seems to know somebody who knows somebody who is "connected", be they a mechanic in Hoboken or a soccer mom in Parsippany. The politicians rival Third World dictators in brazen corruption. All the white people are Italian (and as of the 2010s, they'll be white in-name-only, as they'll be slathered in fake-tan body paint), and they all know what the hottest clubs are. The men have blowouts, dress in either Armani Exchange clothing or muscle shirts, do vast quantities of steroids, drive '80s IROC-Z Camaros or entry-level BMWs, and are insanely misogynistic and homophobic. The women, known as "Jersey Girls," are all Hard Drinking Party Girls, still have '80s Hair decades after it went out of style, wear ten pounds of makeup, and are always dressed like they're headed to the club. The only radio station is WKTU, and they are always playing Lady Gaga or Cascada remixes. If a techno-sounding beat starts playing, the natural response is to start pumping one's fist in the air. And everyone speaks with an obnoxious, nasally, highly Flanderized Italian-American/New York accent.note Despite popular perceptions, New Jersey doesn't have the largest proportion or absolute numbers of Italian-Americans of all the American states; that honor goes to Rhode Island and New York respectively, according to the 2010 Census. That being said, New Jersey does have a very high proportion of Italian-Americans; it has the third-highest percentage of residents reporting Italian ancestry (after Rhode Island and Connecticut), at around 17%. The Armpit of America, where people's hopes and dreams go to die. Suburbs, malls, and smokestacks dominate the landscape, most of the kids are either vapid Alpha Bitches, Jerk Jocks, or guidos (see above), and the adults aren't much better. The cops are inept and more concerned with DWB (Driving While Black) than with the dude beating his wife just down the street. Our heroes are forced to have "fun" by loitering in convenience stores or malls, going to Action Park, and moping around to either a hip indie/emo soundtrack or '80s power ballads (preferably Bon Jovi or The Boss). The highways are jammed with broken heroes on a last-chance power drive. You can only wonder why 8.7 million people choose to make New Jersey the most densely-populated state in the nation. This is arguably the most popular portrayal of New Jersey in the media and will be played either for laughs or dead serious. An extra-strength Weirdness Magnet, with UFOs, monsters, ghosts, and The Jersey Devil waiting around every corner, and with the gateway to Hell sitting in the sewers of Clifton. Parts of it may be an out-of-New England branch of Lovecraft Country, only more likely to be Played for Laughs and/or snark (because hey, it's Jersey). There is also an additional quasi-trope, which might involve any of these flavors or none of them, particularly prominent among media written by New Yorkers: the Shore as a setting, typically as a destination for white out-of-state tourists with money (and usually more of that than sense). A beach house may pop up. Ironically: despite the state being a well-known butt of jokes in American popular culture, a surprisingly large number of iconic and beloved fictional characters are canonically from New Jersey. While it's fairly well-known that Tony Soprano and Jay and Silent Bob are New Jerseyans, not as many people know that Indiana Jones, Jason Voorhees, and Batman were born there too.note Yes, you read that last one right: numerous official sources from DC Comics (dating back to at least 1977) have officially stated that Gotham City is in New Jersey. At least one incarnation of The Addams Family has also depicted the Addamses as residing in the state, likely as a nod to Charles Addams being from Westfield. Not to be confused with Funetik Aksent. Oh, and: For information on the various regions, cities and locales of the state of New Jersey, as well as a long list of famous New Jerseyans, check out our handy Useful Notes page. Not to be confused with that other Jersey, after which this one was named.

Joisey / int_3840524e	comment	This bit from 1776: The reference is to a camp of the Continental Army located at New Brunswick, New Jersey at the time, where whoring and drinking were rampant and discipline was nearly dead. One poor innocent delegate gets a truckload of jokes poured on him and his family when he says, confused, "That can't be, I have an aunt who lives in New Brunswick!" Of course, by the time 1776 came out in 1969, Rutgers University in New Brunswick had a strong reputation as a "party school", meaning that the joke still worked for modern audiences. And of course, the running joke about the delegation from New Jersey not being present. Which leads to the most love New Jersey has even been shown on screen: When the New Jersey delegates enter just in time to tie the vote for independence, prompting John Adams and co. to run to embrace them.

It is also believed that Nightwing's Bludhaven is a version of the nearby Elizabeth or Linden. However, given its position on the coast it seems Gotham is in the area of Little Egg Harbor. This would make Bludhaven the equivalent of Camden. Gotham's official history explains that it was heavily settled by Swedes; since Swedish immigrants had a large presence in southern New Jersey and Delaware, Camden is a fair candidate. And then there's this◊.

In "Stench and Stenchibility", Zoidberg gets a girlfriend who can stand to be around him due to the fact that she has no sense of smell. On their date they go to Limburger King, a discount petting zoo filled with pigs and skunks and then take a walk in scenic New Jersey.

Stewart is also a devoted fan of fellow Jersey native Bruce Springsteen. When he announced on the show that he went to see Springsteen in concert over the weekend, he added, "It was, uh, what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah, the greatest night of my life?" He also delivered a heartfelt tribute to The Boss during the 2009 Kennedy Center Honors. One interview mentioned a truly bizarre case of this: the interviewee, Maziar Bahari, is an Iranian reporter who was imprisoned and tortured for six months on suspicions of being an American spy. One of his captors, a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was apparently obsessed with a "paradise on Earth" located in America named... New Jersey, which he apparently saw as "the prototypical American state where people drink all the time, have sex all the time and never run into Jews". Talk about Your Approval Fills Me with Shame. Stewart also frequently puts on a stereotypical Joisey/New Yawk accent. He named himself The Daily Show's official New Jersey correspondent while discussing the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal, giving a detailed history of epic political corruption in the state and calling governor Chris Christie an amateur at such.

Joisey / int_ea15127e	comment	The Professional (aka Leon) fails Jersey geography spectacularly in its final moments: Mathilda is at the Spenser School, which is (according to an overheard conversation) supposed to be in Wildwood, New Jersey. However, the final moments of the film show that it overlooks the Hudson River and Manhattan. Wildwood is in fact an oceanfront community near the tip of Cape May, over 150 miles away from New York City. (The scene was actually filmed at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken).

Joisey / int_f0a86c12	comment	Particularly notable is How I Met Your Mother, which has made a Running Gag out of the characters' (particularly Ted's) hatred of Jersey, along with plenty of jabs at the state itself. Subverted in one episode that takes place in NJ itself, Jersey is depicted as boring but pleasant suburbia, which small-town raised Minnesota Nice Guy Marshall immediately falls in love with, while Ted and Lily come off as slightly elitist jerks in their unabashed love of NY. And Ted's hatred of New Jersey comes across as somewhat hypocritical considering that he didn't live in New York until after he graduated from college and is originally from Cleveland (the only place in the US that many consider more of a Place Worse Than Death than NJ).

Listing all of the instances of this would require a separate page. Particularly notable is How I Met Your Mother, which has made a Running Gag out of the characters' (particularly Ted's) hatred of Jersey, along with plenty of jabs at the state itself. Subverted in one episode that takes place in NJ itself, Jersey is depicted as boring but pleasant suburbia, which small-town raised Minnesota Nice Guy Marshall immediately falls in love with, while Ted and Lily come off as slightly elitist jerks in their unabashed love of NY.

Joisey / int_f6eed39	comment	The Sopranos was set in New Jersey, and helped to reinforce many of the Mafia stereotypes. We should note, however, that most of the series takes place in Essex County, and much of the rest is in Hudson County, with occasional forays into other counties (most commonly Bergen, Middlesex, and Monmouth). To be somewhat specific: In Essex: Tony was born in the Ironbound neighborhood of Newark; like any true Newarker of his age he calls the neighborhood "Down Neck". Livia's house (later Janice's and then Tony's during his separation) is here. Uncle Junior's trial also takes place in Newark, at the federal courthouse downtown. Additionally, "the Esplanade", one of the most important plot points in the series, is an urban redevelopment project in Newark. The Soprano McMansion is in North Caldwell. Uncle Junior's house is in Belleville. The series makes the occasional foray into Montclair. Furio's house is in Nutley. Bobby Baccalieri's house appears to be in Verona. The infamous ending was shot on location in Holsten's, an old fashioned ice cream shop, in Bloomfield, New Jersey. West Orange Police Station doubles as East Haledon Police Station for the show. Season 3 featured some scenes in Middlesex County, what with Jackie Aprile Jr. trying to build a support base from New Brunswick—including a successful robbery of a benefit concert at the Mason-Gross School at Rutgers. Scenes involving the Stugots and Whitecaps are set in Monmouth County. (Whitecaps specifically is in Sea Bright). Most notoriously, "Pine Barrens" was set in, well, the Pine Barrens. The area in which Valery was left for dead was probably somewhere in Atlantic County. It's not quite clear where Bada Bing and Satriale's Pork Store are supposed to be. There are some indications that Satriale's is supposed to be in or very near Newark, as there's a sign with directions to the PATH right next to it. However, the place that doubled for Satriale's is in Kearny (in Hudson County) and the place that doubled for the Bing is in Lodi (in Bergen County).
