Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is taking fans back to the golden era of Jersey Shore.
The reality star recently reposted a fan’s TikTok featuring a hilarious throwback clip of herself and best friend Deena Nicole Cortese dancing together at Jimbo’s on the Seaside Heights boardwalk during the show’s original run in 2011.
The fan captioned the video, “the random cartwheel,” referring to the unexpected moment when one of the women suddenly busted out the acrobatic move in the middle of their carefree dance session.
The nostalgic clip perfectly captures the duo’s fun-loving friendship as they dance to “Give Me Everything” by Afrojack, Ne-Yo, and Pitbull, with Snooki and Deena laughing and soaking up the boardwalk atmosphere that became synonymous with Jersey Shore’s biggest seasons.
Fans quickly flooded the comments with memories of the MTV hit, with many calling the moment a reminder of why they fell in love with the cast in the first place.

“Mentally I’m still here,” one comment reads.
“Imagine the high on life feeling they felt,” another speculated.
“Low quality video, high quality place back in the day,” said another fan.
Snooki and Deena have remained close since joining forces on Jersey Shore more than a decade ago. Their friendship has continued through Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, where they’ve navigated marriages, motherhood and plenty of new adventures while still delivering the same chaotic energy fans remember from the original series.
Although the roommates have grown up since their Seaside Heights party days, throwback moments like this continue to remind viewers why Jersey Shore became a reality TV phenomenon.
And judging by Snooki’s decision to reshare the clip herself, she’s just as nostalgic for those unforgettable boardwalk days as the fans are.
