    My favorite line related to this appears later in the show, when Blackadder returns to the present, shows his friends Shakespeare's autograph, and no one is impressed. They don't know who Shakespeare is. Finally the Steven Fry character remembers: "Oh you know--he's the chap that invented the ball point pen."

      It gets worse than that.
      Surprisingly many Brits haven't heard of Mark Twain (really??) but 4 generations if American schoolboys have had exams in Huckleberry Finn.
      Mark Twain, who could see the future but couldn't prevent it, gave over a full page of his book (for the naughty pleasures of naughty schoolboys like me) to the following warning to teachers:
      NOTICE
      _______
      PERSONS attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.

      Blackadder missed the mark entirely here. Shakespeare is fantastic generally and Branaugh's Hamlet is incredible. And Midsummer Night's Dream is chock-full of jokes.

    @SuperPippoInzaghi90 Nay, I can read(it's a great hobby of mine), it's just a complicated book. I think I'll probably read it when I get somewhat older.

      @@SandraDodd - And it appears nobody noticed the quizzical look on Shakespeare's face when presented with a ball point pen and Brannagh and Firth have known each other for decades. Humour too subtle I guess.

    Maybe for you english natives it's hard, but for us, Shakespeare is cool (because we read it in our modern language)

    I know it's a joke, lol! I was just saying how I felt the scene is slightly missing the point. Berating a guy for just writing the work seems a bit dumb. If Rowan had punched some Bard-pushing English teacher - that would have been much funnier, and made more sense!
    And I would never justify Shakespeare's works! He boring, vague, bizzarre, cheesy and overrated. But - he never said we had to read him. Other jerks are to blame for that.

    He shouldn't have taken his frustration out on Shakespeare, though. The guy was boring and obscure, but he was probably just writing for money and not even thinking of the all future generations that might get screwed over.
    The teachers, educationalists, 'sensitive types', etc., who keep pushing him down our throats because of their man-crush for him and for every little thing he wrote are the ones who really need the punch. Such asses to presume what they like is what we should like.

      Btw this is a comedy and not a reality tv show where an arrogant smat arse adopts a troll from under a bridge to stop him bothering the sheeps and gets his little brain to build something that was thought to be imposible.

    Shakespeare's way overrated. The only reason his plays are so "great" is because unlike most playwrights he got famous while he was still alive.
