Histeria's Shakespeare

Thirty-seven plays explained in a nutshell.

[@MelVanders]

"They're wedded, they're bedded and then they're beheaded!" In a kids' show, no less! I love it, lol.

[@revinhatol]

It's something that later he kind of regretted.

[@piratemac3]

I wonder if Mike Tyson ever gave back that ear...

[@miguelrodriguezRuso1995]

He did gave it back. Not too long ago actually.

[@gr4lvo169]

[@ExtraordinaryBoris]

When these voice actors were singing these songs. they probably had such fun.

[@Heliogabalos]

I guess I appreciate that Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin are cast as Julius Caesar and Marc Antony, it feels fitting.

[@justinhillenburg9286]

Many of Histeria's historical figures are based on celebrities.

[@logantrimble006]

I'm a fan of both legends. How did I not notice that?

[@AlmightyToonGod]

This song won Histeria an Annie Award.

[@samorowell535]

2:39 I was not expecting a Richard Nixon cameo

[@TKGIOIA]

Randy Rogel's award winning song, THE STORY TOLD BY THE BARD

[@tskmaster3837]

OK, it's the iambic pentameter that keeps screwing up my timing so immense and intense with this sort of rhyming.

[@elleramirez1373]

I miss these kinds of shows

Hi-o!

[@inuyakino]

I see. I just found Histeria recently by serendipity and I've liked it ever since I watched the Invasion Song.

[@dasovietpotato3784]

I started with the Lenin interview

[@sunsetgacha2386]

Where’s Cho-Cho?

[@broflovskie]

inuyakino I started liking it with the Invasion Song or the Peace Land and Bread Now I like love all the song

[@shadowgouhl5000]

I tell you Warner Brothers really liked to cross the line to with the FCC. Like the other video with Mr. Smarty-pants where he was talking about the toilet origins. That we now know where the word crapper came from.

They need to bring this show back.

I wonder how many times this episode played until they realized they said "damned" in a kids show.

[@iansturkey546]

So far, this is my favorite Histeria song.

[@Joshua_Quinzel_Isley]

Same here.

[@kate_cooper]

I counted 34, not 37. But if we’re counting the two parts of Henry IV and three parts of Henry VI as separate plays, it adds up.

[@Jpew2007]

That what I was wondering. Sometime when they said names or phrases I didn’t. See “subtitles” or title cards. So I wonder what’s “missing”.

[@Ryan-gt3ru]

Yes

[@KitsunesTrove]

I realize this was a year ago, but Shakespeare wrote 37 plays. The two parts of Henry IV and the three parts of Henry VI are all separate plays.

[@Blokewood3]

@@KitsunesTrove Yep, and then with Two Noble Kinsmen, that makes 38. If you count Edward III (which is debatable) that would make 39, and then there a few possible lost plays such as Love's Labor's Won and Cardenio, but since they're lost, we can't really count them.

[@cellogang6190]

And now from the Globe Theatre - the Histeria kid chorus! A play by William Shakespeare always simulates your thought Because you spend two hours trying to figure out the plot He wrote famous lines and phrases for his dog like "out, damned Spot!" (I'm a victim of circumstance!) So who is this guy the critics praise Who's famous for his turn of phrase Wrote 37 different plays And lived in Elizabethan days And made Lawrence Oliver's career? Lend me your ear He lived in Stratford von Avon apartment 2-B Was it to be, or not to be? I don't really know, it's confusing to me How do you understand Shakespeare with all of the harks and the hos and all the flowery prose that he writes? For men wearing tights! So bring up the lights And let's meet the bard Ladies and gentlemen, Histeria! proudly presents the plots of all 37 plays of William Shakespeare! Hamlet's real father is killed by his brother who now becomes king and them marries his mother, It ends up with everyone killing eachother And that is the story that's told by the bard Hey nanni nanni na, tra la la, fa la la la la la la! King Henry V is a play about war And so is King John and King Henry IV While Falstaff laughed, and fell on the floor While Henry VI went back to the gore King Lear, Shakespeare's Tragical ruler who casts out his daughter The story is sad, cos then he feels bad And then he goes mad And both of them die! Hey nanni nanni na, tra la la, fa la la la la la la! At Romeo and Juliet, everyone cries At Titus Andronicus everyone dies, Don't you just love these Shakespearean guys? Ahaaahahahaha! You go to the theatre and pay all that money To see all these actors who dress really funny You say to your date, are you getting this honey? Cause I'm really lost so explain it to me Hey nanni nanni na, tra la la, fa la la la la la la! Macbeth is a guy who is really ambitious And that's why the king soon sleeps with the fishes Then he kills others, it's really quite vicious, Until in the end, he gets stabbed in the duff! Oh, no-no! By MacDuff! Better! He wrote comic romances with laughter and dances, Where everyone prances while taking their chances With love, love, love, love, love! [make gagging noises] Like The Comedy of Errors and Pericles too, Then Measure for Measure and Taming the Shrew, Two Gents from Verona and then Much Ado About Nothing Then he'd write The Tempest and Twelfth Night, The Merry Wives of Windsor, As You Like It, and Cymbaline, Love's Labours Lost, A Winter's Tale, And also Midsummer Night's Dream Then The Merchant of Venice a debt is entangled, As Coriolanus where soldiers get mangled, Othello's the fellow whose wife ends up strangled, And that is the story that's told by the bard! Hey nanni nanni na, tra la la, fa la la la la la la! Troilus and Cressida, now there was a pair, They were in love and she had an affair, It's not a great play so we really don't care, Hey nanni nanni na, tra la la! Nixon: King Richard II's a guy that went dumb, King Richard III is the guy with the hump, Timon of Athens, he was a chump, 'Cause all of his money was lent, Now it's spent, And he can't, Pay the rent, And he has to go live in a tent! Julius Caesar's about an attack, All of his friends put a knife in his back, And then a great play that would come after that, Is Anthony and Cleopat... Tra la la, tra la la, tra la la la la la la la la! King Henry VIII has six different wives, He's faithful to each 'til the next one arrives, Most of them ended up losing their lives, One minute they're wedded, and then they're beheaded, It's something that later he kinda regretted, But Shakespeare's plays are the places to be, But violence and killing and murder you see, You really can't show it on childrens' TV, But that is the story, Though it's bloody and gory, Yes, that is the story that is told by the bard! All's well that ends well!

William Shakespeare would be impressed

[@sadlobster1]

I have read the following of Shakespeare's plays. Romeo and Juliet Julius Cesar Antony and Cleopatra Henry V Coriolanus Midsummer Night's Dream I've also read a few of his sonnets as well. My point being is that as of now, I have come close to reading all of Shakespeare's pieces

[@Kolezenstwo]

Romeo and Juliet The Merchant of Venice Much Ado About Nothing Lessee... only 34 plays to go, then?

[@sadlobster1]

Only 28 left for me to read

[@AdamYJ]

Romeo and Juliet King Lear A Midsummer Night's Dream The Tempest I have paperbacks of both Hamlet and The Merchant of Venice but haven't gotten around to reading them.

[@sadlobster1]

They said damn in a kid's show, and then started mentioning all the "adult" plots in Shakespeare's plays. That's what makes this show so great. XD I'm still wondering how'd they get away with getting this on air as a kid's show.

[@StefonTV1]

I feel like in this sense it's okay since this is history and culture in an educational sense.

[@dukejordan8147]

Well, they said "dammed" not "damn". They mean different things.

[@Savagewolver]

Because they were praising Hilary Clinton.

I used to watch this show but actually don't think I knew the name. God bless everyone.

Don't worry, I respect that you're more of a science lover. I've been a fan of his for years. Recently bought the movie Coriolanus with Ralph Fiennes and Gerard Butler. Really good modern take on a Shakespeare play

[@newzealandmapping537]

2:43 haha *foreshadowing*

[@snakes3425]

Yeah for everyone who thinks Romeo and Juliet ends Happily Ever After...the full title is the Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet that doesn't sound like a play with a happy ending. Also name one play Shakespeare wrote where half the cast didn't end up dead or going insane

[@EddieMillerStudios]

Anyone else hear "Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring" wound into the melody?

[@karlmarx3949]

Oh, I mean that there is no play called "Henry V". There's Henry V part one, and Henry V part two. I think Henry IV is divided into two parts, and Henry VI is split into three. So that's seven plays total, but the song would only count that as three.
