Brad Ferro, the Bronx high school teacher who lost his job after MTV showed footage of him punching Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, has joined the Army. According to his father Dan, Ferro couldn’t find a job or a woman to date him after he drunkenly socked a 4’11″ woman on national television. Funny how that works. From the New York Post:
“My son made them famous,” the Long Island man’s outraged dad, Dan, told The Post, referring to the show and its cast. “They made a lot of money off of him, and I think they owe him.”
Yes, you read that correctly: Snooki should pay Brad Ferro for punching her. Sounds like a winnable lawsuit. “Ayyy, ladies and gennelmen of da jury, Snooki’s face looked bettah after my client knocked da ugly off of it, nome sayin’? Dat bitch oughta be, like, payin’ reparations an’ whatnot.”
Ferro, meanwhile, was forced to move in with his grandmother this winter after his unemployment insurance ran out. He and his family became exiles in their Deer Park, LI, community. ”We all had a hard time,” said Dan Ferro, his voice cracking. “We couldn’t even go to the diner.” [...]
After realizing he was out of options, Brad decided to join the military, training, his dad said, as a Cavalry Scout — part of the specialized reconnaissance unit that is among the first behind enemy lines.
As much as it bothers me that this article paints military service as a last resort instead of something that people do with pride, I like that the Army has given Ferro a second chance. I wish him the best. Maybe after we wrap things up in Iraq and Afghanistan, he can lead the Anti-Guido Task Force (Lady Punching Unit).

how have I not seen this before?
That’s the greatest fucking thing EVER. Fuck Charlie Sheen and his Tiger blood, Adonis DNA and Vatican assassin warlocks.
“how have I not seen this before?”
/points and laughs at the new guy
I, for one, feel extremely at ease knowing that Snooki has made $1 million for being an drunken orange trollop, and our country is being defended by a guy who doesn’t think twice about punching a tiny woman in the face in public.
This is because I take massive amounts of Valium.
The Valium also helps me not sweat all my typos and grammar mistakes.
A real man would’ve joined the Marines.
I’m disappointed in the lack of “When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong” tag.
I just love that GIF, it says so much in such a short amount of time.
I knew about the collateral elbow to the face the guy in between received the first time this gif came around- but it never really captured my attention like this until now. I can’t stop watching it.
Someone needs to drop a pair of aviators on this guy and build a new franchise off of him:
CSI: Lady Punching Unit
(though really, wouldn’t it be false advertising to call Snooki a “lady?”)
If there ever were an award for GIF’s, that one would win the title hands down. And any one of Alison Brie would be a close second…..also, ‘hand’s down’.
his mistake was not that he punched an oompa-loompa, it was not being more famous. **the more you know**
It’s mesmerizing.
The real question is: does the army really want this pussy? He sucker punched a troll and didn’t knock her down, I read up about it… and she only had a bruise on her face.
I don’t think I want this guy fighting my pointless war….
While I disapprove of sucker punching anyone, especially portly, factory-reject lawn gnomes, I wish America as a whole would do what Brad Ferro did.
It took me 45 seconds of “what dipshit abbreviates a state ‘LI’?” Then i realized it meant Long Island. Then I took a deep breath and was thankful that we don’t smoke marijuana in Muskogee.
Cut to 18 months later when this guy is standing trial for beating and raping Iraqi women.
Starburied, for legal purposes, you meant metaphorically, right? Right?
I want to change my name to Snooki-Puncher.
This dude’s dad seriously needs a reality check. The dad should be straight up ashamed of his son. I also was wondering how he couldn’t knock her out or even down. This is a serious topic for discussion. But I think it comes down to three things (excluding the fact that the dude is a total pussy which is a given): a) I’m no expert but his technique isn’t looking good, looks like not enough body behind it b) his fist clips the fat body between him and Snooki slowing down his already poorly thrown punch c) Snooki’s drunken state made her floppier and distribute more of the impact through her rotund, gelatinous body. Please provide any further insight…
@Dachshund – You are the guy that when invited to parties, talks about Darfur and how blisters are fascinating, yes?
Stop dissecting this. I have never watched Jersey Shore, never will, but I love this GIF.
She is built like a fullback… low center of gravity, but isnt she on a barstool or something? Can we do a sports science on this? can we get Bill Nye the science guy in here?
It’s so difficult to look away from that clip! But seriously, that guy is disgusting – you reap what you sow a$$!
This guy can’t catch a break…The ink’s still drying on the papers he signs for the army then a lucrative position finally opens up today for a replacement drunk, convicted woman-abuser.
Eh, I’m sure he’ll do just fine in whichever Platoon to which he’s assigned. Hiyo!
*dragged offstage via over-sized cane*
I’d like to think that in 20 years or so we’ll find this bitch sitting in a booth: “5 bucks to punch the Snooki in the face”. Yeah that’s right, THE Snooki.
I’ve seen this many times, but with another look I have noticed how completely stoned the turned backwards hat guy in the background is. He sees it, comprehends it, cannot react other than to sip a little harder on his straw (straw! WTF?). Dude has a great spleef connection.
Anti-Guido Task Force (Lady Punching Unit)?
I’d watch that show. Right after I watch this gif a few more (thousand) times. I’d forgotten how good it is.
I see nothing wrong with this .gif
I shall continue viewing it in hopes of seeing what might be considered impolite or unkind.
I mean… it’s not like he stepped into it. If I were her friends in the background I would have done absolutely nothing until the police were holding him too.
I am actually reconsidering going into basic training after hearing about this. With any luck I’ll be able to buy him a drink and then chug it while standing over his greasy fucking corpse after I choke the life out of him.
I would NEVER condone man on woman violence! But come on it’s frickin’ Snooki. Shoulder shrug/Eye roll. Who doesn’t want to blast EVERY member of that effin show? Haters be jealous that this douche beat us all to it.
Wtf is with the spammers picking awesome avatars these days?
/ I never had avatars like that that when I was eleven.
//Jesus, did anyone?
Happy to hear that guy joined the army–when I first saw this I proposed that we should give him a medal. Now he’s in a profession that actually awards them. Good luck, dude.
