Video: Jersey Shore Gone (Oscar) Wilde

"There's no way I'm going to Jersey without my hair gel!"

In a combination of things we never thought we would write about in the same sentence, here is a collection Jersey Shore clips being performed in the style of Oscar Wilde. The rather amusing videos, on par with the similarly brilliant Victorian Vision of Ogden's The Wire, are the side project of Santino Fontana and David Furr, the two leads in the new Broadway production of Wilde's classic The Importance of Being Earnest. The nattily-attired, British-accented pair have taken it upon themselves to reenact actual transcripts from Jersey Shore episodes, somehow lending each line—"I'm hungover, I'm not having a good time, and work blows dick for skittles right now" —more gravitas than we ever thought possible. Click through for a sampling of snigger-inducing clips.
