A humorous spoof of Shakespear's A Midsummer Night's Dream (Act V Scene I), in which John portrayed the beauteous lady "Thisbe", Paul "Pyramus", George "Moonshine" and Ringo "Lion", all attired in costume. Apart from this, John, Paul and George were seen at the very start of the show, miming a trumpet fanfare.

Ringo is painfully adorable
Leah Conrad i never understood what that meant until now
Leah Conrad Totally agree with you:-)
*Rawr*
yes he is
Was.. *WAS* *
Paul McCartney was and is nothing short of perfection.
Amen to that.
Yes
👍
Yes. Yes. Forever.
Yes
I wish I could understand a word they're saying lmao
BlueBell Pond here are subtitles on this video ruclips.net/video/ix-CwvG8E3g/видео.html 😁
@@Dream-nh6wt you are an angel; thanks so much!!
all i could understand was ringo’s “rar” 😂
Shakespeare + Liverpool accents + crappy decades-old footage = muffled mumbling. If it helps, they're doing the "Pyramus and Thisbe" segment from "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
gay roach all I understood was “THIS LANTERN”
It feels like they lost a bet and the guys have to embarrass themselves on live TV to make up for it.
+Justin Shea LOL
+liverpoollishgirl I thought pantomime meant the actors don't talk.
if they lost a bet with anyone it was probably those dudes heckling them the whole time.
The truth about life has been revealed in 3 pages: *google truth contest* and read "The Present". Read the whole book though, please (with an open mind). It is worth your time!
Marie, that is part of the play! The dudes are actors!
Paul and John's bromance level: SKY HIGH. LOL. Just kiddin
NO JUST KIDDING THIS BROMANCE IS PERFECTION
nono you're right.
but it is tho
it's not bromance it's s t r a i g h t up romance lmao

I love how George shakes his head after
Ringo is amazing

My heart-
RUclips: low quality grainy inaudible video of the Beatles
Beatles fans: YASFJDKKWKEKD YAS OMG HAHAHAH YASSSS
😂😂trueee
Ahahahahaha
😂😂😂 so true
It's called star quality......
Also, another interesting tidbit: Paul named one of his cat's after the character John played in this - Thisbe.
+laugh da OMFG really?
I think paul was always sweet to john in many ways..I smiled at the fact the he married the third time to nancy shevell on the day john lennon was born..I think oct 9..
And he gave a cat to John who named it after Paul's character. :)
Virginia Abreu de Paula How do you know this?
I love how John and Paul loved cats - it's so sweet.
Those "loud mouthed boys at the back" were the
Beatles' mates and it was all part of the show
It is part of the Shakespeare play, as well.
Great to know because I was pretty mad at them hecklers for more then just a moment haha
The most underrated part here is George saying "and this doggy woggy here is my doggy woggy"
I always found that part adorable especially since he's my favorite of the four ❤️
@Abby Ogle I recently told my sister about this Shakespeare skit and I told her about George saying that and she loved hearing that because George is her favorite Beatle
I love that part hes so cute omfg
I literally can't understand hardly anything they're saying but the enjoyment I get out of this is ridiculous
Also does anyone know what year this was
It was Shakespeare, that is why you couldn't understand it😎
+Kasen Jones 1964
same
It was April 28, 1964...I was one of the lucky ones in the audience!
Ringo actually looks like he's kind of into it.
"Moon take thy flight! See ya, George."
I keep replaying George saying "This doggy-woggy 'ere" ah George I love you :)
Thats ringo-
Cream Cake that is definitely George not ringo
4:19
6:46 "Shut up!!!" XD The way John said it was hilarious!
😆
I love the part when john lennon says shadup
Lol same
I love when he keeps repeating 'my love, my love"...to Paul. I mean, to Pyramus.
Virginia Abreu de Paula you know it 😉💓😚
I love when he starts speaking in a deep voice. Funny, since he’s supposed to be female.
@@dabreu right ?!
PAULS WINK AT 0:31 HAS ME IN TEARS

One does not simply watch this just once. The Beatles's humor is the best!
Ringo: "I know that I am, Ringo, a drummer. but if I was really a lion, I wouldn't be making all the money I am today, WOULD I?!?"
John: "not a word. not a word" guy: "...not a word" John: "SHYIUUT UP"
George: "This lanthorn doth the horned moon present" guy: "what?? I cant hear" George: "THIS LANTHORN DOTH THE HORNED MOON PRESENT"
Paul: "its alright, its alright. now am I dead. now, am I fled. oh well, you cant win 'em all...moon, take thy flight. see you George"
Haha ikr
is that a LOTR reference or were you just saying that?
That’s what he was saying???? I didn’t catch a word
This is brilliant I'm laughing so much:
Best bits -
Paul: THISBE-OH-THIS-EH-BE
John: WHAT!? - my love, my love...
Paul: Moon, take thy flight - see ya George!
Ringo chasing John.
John: SHUT UP!
Paul & John: Adieu, Adieu!
Lauren Duff John actually said: “PAUL! - my love, my love” 😂😂
Lol I commented 3 years later XD
*_rawr_*

Couldn't really understand what they were saying but that was HILARIOUS!

John: not a word, not a word...

John: *looks over* SHUT UP!
Funny Guys... LONG LIVE THE BEATLES!
Hard to imagine Mick, Keef and the boys pulling this off. I love the Stones, but the Beatles were just on a different level in terms of overall social impact.
@Andrew James If the Stones did pulled this off, I think Kieth should Pyramus because Paul looked pretty good as Pyramus and I always found Kieth to be the most good looking out of all of the Stones 💕💕💕💕💕
THE HAND HOLDING AT THE END GAHHHHHHH
MCLENNON
But their not gay.
No one knows that for sure. No one knows the true inside things that happened with the Beatles
+Stacy Fox well I hope so but no I think it's brotherly love
+Chloe DeGaetano Lennon and McCartney were portraying the ill-fated lovers Thisbe and Pyramus respectively. (Thisbe is a girl.) They were holding hands because their characters were a couple.
RINGO IS TOO CUTE IN THAT LION SUIT.
Did you guys know that John Lennon wanted to do a Lord of the Rings skit (Since John Lennon was a big fan) John was suppose to be Gollum, Paul was suppose to be Frodo, Ringo was suppose to be Sam, and George was suppose to be Gandalf the Grey!
I knew that
That would have been AWESOME.
Yep! I would love to see George Harrison as Gandalf the Grey. Both in the skit and movie to be honest!
why you destroy my happiness
It would have been awful
If only Shakespear had seen it!
Ringo: If I was really a lion I wouldnt be making all the money I am today would i?!

When Paul McCartney passes away I imagine it will go something like this:
_he closes his eyes as he takes his last breath. He peacefully fades away into the afterlife... where suddenly he hears a voice_
*Asleep my luv?*
Paul: (opens eyes) what the crap
Thus commences the greatest reunion concert in the history of history!
What about Ringo ?? ;-;
xx_gothicbunny_xx i don't know... ;n; all i know is he would be sorely missed too.
+Maren Denison "When Paul McCartney passes away........."
What ....? Again ?
+Steve Roberts 😒 get out.
xx_gothicbunny_xx I thought it was pretty funny actually XP
At 5:54 I thought it was really sweet when Paul was comforting all the girls making sure they knew he wasn't actually dead
Jesselyn Oyao Same. He really is sweet.
Jesselyn Oyao but the fans were kinda dumb
Are you sure it's Paul and not Faul???
If you guys thought that Paul improvised that then you're as dim-witted as Bottom; that was all in the script. The mechanicals thought that having death would frighten the ladies, as they would've thought it was real, and not just a play.
First off, it's rather pretentious to call someone dim-witted for not knowing what you do beforehand. Even if Jesselyn and I had known that before hand, I still would probably say that Paul's way of comforting the girls was sweet, and I really don't think we're stupid for thinking that. As fascinating as I find your knowledge of the play to be, please don't go insulting people for not knowing what you do.
“And this doggy-Woggy is my dog.”
LMAOOOO I died
This is being done in the style of Shakespeare's day. They had hecklers back then, and the actors had to play around them, so this performance is rather authentic.
And men had to play the women's parts too
i‘m pretty sure the hecklers are actually part of the original script, since pyramus & thisbe is a play within a play (part of a midsummer night’s dream)
Paul Mccartney learned Shakesperean theater from Jane Asher...( his girlfriend)
AWWWWW!!! Paul at 6:30! He was so gorgeous!
DEFINITELY!!! He was the MOST gorgeous cutie around ;)
basketballgirl4life mmmmmmm...
I want that as a gif
basketballgirl4life YA YA YA YA YA YA YA
Ringo is the cutest thing I've ever seen ❤
You know John and Paul had cats John's was named Prymus and Paul's was named Thisbe. I always thought that was sooo adorable and telling of how much they cared for one another.
Patricia Edwards Where do you people get this stuff? I have NEVEr heard that.
People were trying to touch Paul at 5:45
I would've got overexcited
Of course they did@

He's lucky that no one grabbed his hoehner.

@@steampunkofgondor2619 XD
This is most definitely the best thing that has ever existed
I think Paul didn’t mind John calling him “My Love” at all 😂😂
He loved John’s attention 😉

What?! My Love, My Love.
0:30 Paul's cute smile
0:35 John's smile bow
0:50 George's eyebrow dance like always
0:56 Ringo trying to eat John.
i think paul was very attractive when he was younger
Brianna R. Attractive is an understatement. He was the most absolutely perfect human specimen when he was young. He’s still pretty good now.
He's still great looking now as a old man.
He is perfect.
I think he still kinda is
Paul was beautiful like no other. He’s still a pretty cute old man too!
Seeing John in this video made me laugh so hard. "This beautious lady" *bows and smiles* that made me laugh so hard. But Paul was amazing too
This beautiful lady with a front tooth missing. Lol.
@@MsAppassionata XD it was cute
This is the cutest thing ever!!! George and Ringo were adorable but Paul and John stole the show. I love the part at the end where they say I do, I do, I do. They have such amazing chemistry together.
They are the definition of bromance hahahaha
I love ringo and paul at 4:48 lol was a roar for a lion haha
the quasiminimalist lmao Paul is just dying from laughter in the backround XD
Paul and John
Paul and John
I'll say it again
Paul and John

Yes indeedy💖💖💖💖
Normal fandoms: HD videos of their faves
Classic rock fandom:
This is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Ringo looks so cute in his lion costume, Paul looks so cu... Let me just say they all look cute all the time!
This makes me wanna LOL my face off! John is so hilarious, and Paul is a sexy beast
Everyone gives such different fun vibes in this.
Wall Guy is like "I can't believe I'm here with the Beatles omfg I'm so scared". Paul is being goofy and adorable yet 100% serious at the same time. John is trolling majorly and about as feminine as a dock worker. Ringo is in his element, while George would rather be anywhere else.
It's all stupidly brilliant.
😀
Imagine superstars of this level doing anything like this today just for laughs. The collective sense of humor of the Beatles allowed them not take themselves so seriously.
I'll never forget the first time I saw this, right at the height of Beatlemania. THEY WERE BRILLIANT, let's face it! I'm so glad to see this again. And all of you, WATCH!!
No one:
Paul and George: *wiggles eyebrows*
It's funny how Thisbe's voice is not so lady-like. Hahaha!
"And now for something completely different!"
That's funny that you make the great Monty Python reference. I remember George saying once that he felt that after the Beatles broke up, their spirit inhabited Monty Python!
That is Monty Python!
Lennon : SHUT UP!!!!
John & Paul : Adieu, Adieu!!!
LOL!! HILARIOUS!!!!!!!
The Beatles were so young at heart.
“And this doggie woggie is my dog.”
I freaking love George!
Thank God this was filmed
TabbyPaws I love your profile picture
i don’t know how on earth i’ll cope when we lose ringo & paul, it still hurts knowing we’re without george & john :(
I don’t even wanna think about it tbh 🥺
This is literally the best thing I’ve ever seen 😂not only were they musical geniuses but comedic geniuses 😂😂😂😂
You can just see how much these guys loved each other back then. There was nothing they couldn't do!!
I wanna give them all a big hug! ❤️❤️❤️
That would be so cool if Paul and Ringo reacted to this today 😂😂😁
Beatles=Adorable, handsome, funny, amazing, gorgeous and BEYOND!!!!!!!!!!!😘😘💙💜💙
Dayum Paul is so handsome, they are so funny I love them!
Just saw this for the first time. Love it! Possibly my favorite play ever (Midsummer Night's Dream, not just this little "play"). And I think this is exactly the sort of ridiculous performance Shakespeare envisioned when he wrote this scene. LOL.
5:43 to 5:48
Oh my God, just realised that Paul tells them "I'm alright" when he threw himself down... aHHDJSJDHSJS IT'S CUTEST THING 😭😭😭😭
Its so funny. Especially John playing a girl. Yet he comes in jumpin or dancing up and down. Lol i was cracking up that. Even when John is like Shut Up! or What! wen Paul was calling him. Also, it was funny when Ringo is like roars so low. Even when George is sayin sumthin' like the moon and the audience said somethin and he had 2 say it all loud. The 4 of them were funny.
#luvthebeatles
When Ringo said “arrr” I felt that 😔✌️
6:06 Ok that dance was too much 😂
(Paul calls her name)(John breaks character) PAUL! (Goes back in character) My love. My love
3:36 is the best by far 😂🤣
Hah! I love it 3
"the loud mouthed boys" were a part of the act too. They perform later in the show :) I hope this helps anyone
Char Char Binks I'm not entirely sure what you're meaning, but yes, my friend,the audience barely cared much for anything but the Fabs and it was obvious. But I'm sure they did care for other acts, too.
I'd have to say that Sir Ringo Starr won this Shakespearean costume contest by a county mile! 🎶🧑🎤
That's the best thing I've ever seen
Love it! They were sooooooooo cute and funny!! Especially Paul and John!!
I once played Starveling in "A Midsummer Night's Dream". George got to have a real dog though. Lucky bastard.
knighthood for ringo! it's long overdue!
baddmanaz he got knighted new years
3:37 what a cute Lion! :D
"my love, my love"..I could die a hundred times of laughter at this lines..paul was such so cute...and how they "died together" was so funny holding hands..ive read somewhere if its true that paul named one of his cats thisbe..how a strong friendship could launch a thousand ideas
John is sooo cute in the costume 💖💖💖💖💖😍😍😍😍
i love how john is laughing when he talking about paul lol 6:40
They really were good friends then.
I laughed so hard I nearly suffocated. This is the best version of Pyramus and Thisbe I've ever seen. I took a Shakespeare class in 1982. We had to bring in crafts (props, posters, etc). Oh God, if I could have brought this!!
That sword was so tiny probably because John can't be trusted with sharp objects XD
George is the cutest and always will be :-P The dog nearly pulled him right over once, but he did a great job.
Leave it to the Beatles to wear their ankle boots with their costumes.
The bromance between Paul and John tho 😂
4:16 aahh i love this man ❤😔
I am glad I found this skit. I have been waiting for it since 1965 when I saw a picture of it in Sixteen Magazine, if I remember well. Loved it. Really funny. The Beatles could do anything in such a happy way. Beatles forever. By the way, I wonder why people keep on writing Paul is dead when everybody knows that invented stgory was only a way to show how people can be manipulated.
Interesting point of view...
I remember seeing this on TV back in 1964 and wondering what? I believe it was a skit from A Midsummer's Night Dream. If you can find the original movie with a very young Mickey Rooney watch it. Rose Prulx
Virginia Avery, how's so very true. Look at the propaganda Trump puts out and expects all of us to believe him .
Paul says..allo allo allo.. very Shakespearean lol ..love this!
The 4 of them were funny. When i first saw it, i was crackin up on some scenes. Especially wen John comes dancing or jumping up or down. Even when Paul tried calling John, he was like "What!" Itz was also funny when he said "Shut up!". Ringo was funny too wen he roared so low. Even George too. He's trying 2 say a line and the audience would be like what and george had 2 say it all loud about it. I like the part where john opens like pretending to open the door and he screams as Ringo jumps up
"see ya George!"
PAUL IS FUNNY LIKE IF IM RIGHT

iCombatzz it’s been 6 years
2:11 the face on the wall, when Paul is punching him, is hilarious
3:36 I'M DYING RIGHT NOW!!!
6:47 SHUT UP!!!
@slashlegend75 03:41 - 03:48 = He says "I one Ringo the drummer am. But if I was really a lion, I wouldn't be making all the money I am today"
Beatle boots still on love it
I love them all, so cute esp paul
