A Shakespeare Parody

I used to watch the show Animaniacs when I was a little kid. Considering my knowledge back then, it’s obvious I would have never discovered a connection between history and the cartoons. I found it quite amusing how the cartoons make fun of Shakespeare by translating what Hamlet says into simple words. Also, the fact that the cartoon in the back is digging up all kinds of things from the hole he is making is sort of funny. I found it especially funny right at the end. The cartoons boldly state that Cher will eventually end up looking like a corpse regardless of the number of plastic surgeries she gets.

I would say that this video seems a little childish and maybe not so appropriate for our age. Still, it’s related to Hamlet and it gives the subject a good start, even before we open the book.
