Joe and Teresa Giudice
Joe and Teresa Giudice are a real-life formerly-married couple featured on the Bravo reality TV series, The Real Housewives of New Jersey. They are parodied in the Season Fourteen episode, "It's a Jersey Thing".
Background
Joe and Teresa Giudice move to South Park, Colorado where they become Stan Marsh's new neighbors. The Marshes invite the new family to dinner, where Teresa displays her bad temper and attitude, gossiping about the people in South Park and insulting Sharon Marsh. When Sharon smartly retorts her, she becomes furious and flips the table, swearing heavily. Every time Teresa becomes angry, her husband Joe tries to calm her down. Once calmed down by Joe in the kitchen, she returns to the table and says her behavior is a “Jersey thing”, and rudely demanding dessert.
Later, while at the beauty salon with her friends Jacqueline Laurita, Danielle Staub and Caroline Manzo, Teresa becomes offended when asked to wait ten minutes for another client by the hairdresser. She becomes furious again and is restrained by Jacqueline, telling Sharon to fight the hairdresser, and her and Caroline begin pulling her hair after she offends Caroline. Sheila Broflovski, who is also from New Jersey, shows up and orders her to leave her alone, slapping Teresa and calling her a "psycho-bitch" and a "trashy whore". This causes Teresa back down and leave the Salon in shock and horror, along with the other housewives.
