Jimmy Kimmel mashes up Peanuts with Jersey Shore fight

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has been setting the sounds of “Jersey Shore” against a classic “Peanuts” backdrop for some months now. But it’s never been more relevant than last week’s pressure cooker of an episode.

For those of you not acquainted with the trials and tribulations of Ronnie and Sammi Sweetheart, it suffices to say that stuff got ugly. The “Jersey Shore” couple broke up (again), which on its own wouldn’t exactly be notable. It was the shrieking, flailing and mattress-flinging that struck a nerve.

Enter “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Somehow, transporting the histrionic dialogue out of the realm of Ed Hardy, duck phones and bronzer and into Charles Schulz’s imagined world makes it a little less cringe-worthy. And as an added bonus, we took the liberty of culling some other great Kimmel mashups below.

“Maury Povitch” meets “Frosty the Snowman”

“Hell’s Kitchen” meets “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving”

  • The protests take on a festive element as police forces move out of the park and square. Wearing a gas mask, this young man dances to traditional Turkish music in front of Taksim Square’s Ataturk Monument.

  • In Gezi Park since March 31st, this protester, originally caught off-guard by the Government’s teargas and water cannons, went out and bought a Russian army mask from WWII, preparing for what was to come.

  • This rambunctious boy seems to be enjoying the chaos. After taking this picture he threw a stone at the already destroyed building in the background.

  • Forming a line, the police face off directly with protesters in Taksim Square. After a while, they retreated and there was a general cheer – a back-and-forth dance that has been common since the beginning of this protest.

  • An elderly woman in Gezi Park reads the news. The tent community occupying the park was violently destroyed on June 16th.

  • Many different groups had set up booths to promote their cause in Taksim Square and Gezi Park. Standing in front of one, this man waves his flag while posing with conviction.

  • Many home-remedies are used to minimize the effects of tear gas. This woman has put a milky solution on her face, removing her mask after the tear gas dissipated. Before sunrise, the police came again for another round of teargasing.

  • People capitalize on the uprising -- selling flags, beer, gas masks, sky lanterns and spray paint to name just a few of the popular items.

  • On Monday morning, June 11, the police execute a strong offensive. Many plain-clothed police officers, like the ones seen here, clash with protesters in the side streets away from the main stand-off in Taksim.

  • The authorities seem to be most aggressive in the night, pushing protesters away from the square and park. After being teargassed this young woman catches her breath with other protesters on Siraselviler Street.
