This made me laugh. Haha.

Don't know if you guys know Animaniacs.
Don't know about where you all live, but... It's been off the air here in ages.

I watched it when I was a kid and I still watch it online sometimes, and love it. It's such a goofy and yet clever show... But I'm rambling.

Anyways... A friend emailed me this and it made me laugh for several minutes, but maybe it's just because I'm that silly sometimes.


Shakespeare for little kids:
by the Warner siblings

Yakko: Alas, poor Yorik!
Dot: [translating] Woah! Check out Skull Head.
Yakko: I knew him Horatio: A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.
Dot: [translating] He was funny.
Yakko: He hath borne me on his back a thousand times.
Dot: [translating] He gave me piggy back rides.
Yakko: And now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it.
Dot: [translating] I'm going to blow chunks.
Yakko: [kisses Skull Head] Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft.
Dot: [translating] We kissed a lot. NOT!
Yakko: Where be your gibes now? Your gamboles? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar?
Dot: [translating] How come your not funny now?
Yakko: Not one now to mock your own grinning? Quite chap-fallen?
Dot: [translating] No one's laughing now and by the way your lower jaw's missing
Yakko: Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favor she must come; make her laugh at that.
Dot: [translating] Follow that woman and tell her no matter how much make up she wears, she's still going to croak and end up looking just like you, and see if she laughs.
Yakko: Prithee, Horatio, tell me one thing.
Dot: What'd you find in the hole?
Wakko: Our next cartoon.

------------------------

[Yakko is reciting Puck's final monologue from A Midsummer Night's Dream while Dot translates]
Yakko: If we shadows have offended, think but this and all is mended.
Dot: If the actors in our show made you mad, it will be okay if you look at it this way!
Yakko:That you have but slumbered here while these visions did appear.
Dot: You fell asleep on your butt and dreamed the whole thing.
Yakko: And this weak and idle theme, no more yielding but a dream.
Dot: There was a hole in the plot you can drive a truck through.
[behind the action, Wakko is picking flowers and is swatted by a group a fairies. He sprays them away with a fire hose]
Yakko: Gentles, do not reprehend...
Dot: Honeys, don't blame us. You could be watching Oprah.
Yakko: If you pardon, we will mend.
Dot: But we're sorry and we promise our next show will be full of funny skits.
[Wakko continues to pick flowers when a very sexy fairy emerges]
Wakko: Hello pixie!
[he chases after her]
Yakko: And, as I am an honest Puck...
Dot: I'm not touching that one.
Yakko: If we have unearned luck now to 'scape the serpent's tongue.
Dot: What he said.
Yakko: We will make amends ere long!
Dot: We'll buy you foot long hot dogs!
Yakko: Else the Puck a liar call: So, good night unto you all.
[he blows a kiss]
Dot: Goodnight everybody!
Yakko: Give me your hands, if we be friends.
Dot: Applaud if you like us!
[the pixie Wakko has been chasing after comes up behind him enraged. He tries to give her flowers while she tries to swat him with a huge fly swatter]
Yakko: And Robin shall restore amends.
Dot: And the Boy Wonder will save us.
[the Batmobile drives up and the Warners all jump in it, and it drives away]



LOLZ. It's embarrassing that I love cartoons so much... But I'm laughing too hard to actually care. Heheh.

oh man! That was a great show. I do miss it so!

*Sigh*
Yes it was... I used to get to school late so I wouldn't miss it. lol

Eh, it was worth it.

They don't teach us Shakespeare here in school. Which is simply pathetic in my opinion.

LOL ^-^

Where did all the good cartoons go? I want them back. -sigh-

I got most of Shakespear in my seinor year. I understand it better then anyone in my class. He is the master of storytelling and drama. He still moves us to this day, and that is not easy. It is too bad that not many schools is teaching him.

Really? Wow, we did Shakespeare every year except Junior year, where we did The Crucible instead, on a Shakespeare play. Which I loved because I do like Shakespeare quite a bit.

Well... In Brazil we're stuck with Portuguese literature.

Which is kinda good, but... What are we still a damn colony? Go global people!

I had to read Shakespeare on my own. And once I did I got into a huge argument with my literature teacher.

Truth is, if they don't ask about it in college applications they assume it's useless knowledge.

Which begs the question of why the hell do they not ask about Shakespeare in college applications...

But I'm way off topic now. *sigh*
