the ever changing accent of Lady Macbeth eventually just devolving into gollum killed me
Same! 😂😂😂
all accents evolve into Gollum eventually, it's the Carcinisation of speech!
Lady Macbeth stole the whole show honestly
TBF that's kind of her whole character arc.
Side note, I'm pretty sure Red was thinking 'I've killed you before, I can do it again' several times.
Red being the most normal one around the cast is a great parallel to Macbeth being the one slipping amidst the characters.
it's in her perspective. in her point of view, everyone else has gone mad.

"Hi, I'm Macbeth. Did you know that you have rights? Constitution says you do, and so do I."
Lady Macbeth: “Kill Duncan or you’re a pussy.”
Macbeth, in tears: “Ok, but you don’t have to yell at me!”
Lady Macbeth: "I need your help, can you come here?"
Macbeth: "I can't, I'm buying clothes."
Lady Macbeth: "Alright, hurry up, then come over here."
Macbeth: "I can't find them."
Lady Macbeth: "What do you mean you can't find them?"
Macbeth: "I can't find them, there's only soup."
@@TacComControlLM: "What do you mean there's only soup??"
M: "I mean there's only soup!"
Lady Macbeth: “well then get out of the soup aisle”
Macbeth: “Alright you don’t have to shout at me. There’s more soup.”
Lady Macbeth: “What do you mean there’s more soup!”
I appreciate the cast turning everything that could possibly be a sexual innuendo into a sexual innuendo, even the things that the author could not possibly have intended because that slang didn't exist at the time.
It's what Shakespeare would have wanted.
"The queen that bore thee often on her knees - PRAYING - than on her feet"
Blue utterly killed me by trying to slap the innuendo down, too.
I like to imagine Will's just laughing his ass off watching this in the afterlife
I appreciate the return to truth the internet has undergone regarding Shakespeare. He ain’t a posh nobleman, he’s a nutty, silly, crude and funny man of the common folk.
Well, with exception of the always sexualised line, they compleatly cleaned that one up
@@SingingSealRiana which line?
There was a great comment on the full stream that was just, “Red is like the one normal human you see in every Muppets movie.”
Idk have you seen her face at 8:31? I think the Muppets are rubbing off on her
I mean the latest podcast did discuss how Red is not infact made of Muppet material
Red and Blue belong in a muppet movie lol
@@mirjanbouma I mean she did once say "I'd paid to see a Muppet version of the Iliad."
@@dragoninthewest1 I don't remember but I'll believe it. Also same. You know ms. Piggy would be Helen of Troy and it would be hilarious.
*precious*
You are a treasure of humanity
Locates a spot with a LOTR reference HEEEERE’S THE SPOT-
Red's face screams "I can't believe I'm friends with these idiots but I love them too much to let them go"
Me and my friend circle in a nutshell.
Her face when they made *any* innuendo was amazing.
Delete the But
I make that face every time my dad makes a dad joke.
Especially every time that they mentioned math
Finally, a version following Shakespeare's own vision
He wouldn't get some of the references but he would adore this nonetheless
😂😂
@@Mini_Squatch You underestimate Shakespeare's vision my good man!
I was looking for a comment like this! I was thinking the same thing
It’s what he’d want.
"I haven't the clock, papa"
"... Then fucking look again, boy!"
Genuinely amazing performance from everyone in this
Y'know, I actually would pay to see a Muppet adaptation of Macbeth.
Omg YES
Every Shakespeare play should have Muppets King Lear king Gonzo Roseancrantz and gildenstern are the two old Muppets Hamlet fozzie bear
Mupbeth? There's an idea...
@@chs9999 Concept stolen from a Tumblr mutual: "Rizzocrantz and Gonzostern Are Dead"
@@leeshajoi damn it just when I thought I was being original
Ok as a kid I was taught Shakespeare is so high class and a pinical of playwrights and acting..... then I actually read his works for myself in realized he was the greatest shitposter and comedian of all time and all of his plays came off more to me as making fun of stereotypes and jokes and stories rather than actually being serious.
Most high class shitposts of his day is what literary snobs mean.
@@meganparrish807 the Meme lord of all Meme lords lol
A great playwright is both. His plays got through to everyone-the high and the low.
Bill the Carpenter: Professional Shitposter.
Reminds me of my 10th grade English teacher who told me that I had to write an essay on the play- A Midsummer Night's Dream discussing it's deep themes.
I read it and went- there are no deeper themes, it's just a stupid play about stupid people made to be a crowdpleaser. Well written, sure. A great time, sure. But it wasn't that deep, in my opinion. I would have written a whole essay proving it too. But noooo I had to write an essay about how the city represent "order" and the forest "chaos" and they go to "chaos" to get what they want.
So yeah, I get that.
90% of Macbeth is just "have you considered murder?" and then "oh crap, maybe murder wasn't a good idea".
Basically yes
Clearly possession by Monty Python worked for everyone except Red who rolled an 18 on her saving throw and didn't realize until too late she was the only one who did
She's a bard, Charisma saving throw is off the chart.
Nah, Monty Python always ran Graham Chapman as the straight man; Red was channeling him like crazy.
"The queen that bore thee often on her knees - PRAYING - than on her feet.”
Blues delivery and face was priceless.
"When shall we three meet again?"
"Well, I can do next Tuesday."
Shoutout to the late great Sir Pterry.
GNU Sir Terry Pratchett
And of course it was Dom who made it!
When I heard that I just died right there
@@mirjanbouma I didn't know what you meant, found the definition on urban dictionary and I'm happy I looked it up. Thanks!
It's a pretty specific reference, but it warmed my nerdy heart ☺️
GNU Sir Terry (also, anyone else notice the "I Aten't Dead" card on Dominic Noble's desk?)
Watching Red struggle to keep her composure every time Kermit pops up was the highlight of the show.
Also her playing straight man to Lady MacBonkers.
When people say that "Macbeth" is a cursed play, I don't think they meant *THIS* type of "cursed". 🤣
How can I like a comment twice?
Was fully expecting “is that a dagger I see before me” to be greeted with every other cast member pulling out a prop dagger.
Prop? This bunch? I was expecting half of them to be REAL daggers.
The best part of this was everyone was so fucking funny....except Red, whose protagonist voice somehow turned McBeth into a full on magnificent bastard that I couldn't help kind of rooting for.
The whiplash was strong with this one.
Magnificent bastard? Don't you mean a charismaniac 😏
I mean, the play is a tragedy, and it ends with Macbeth dying, so I'd say "magnificent bastard that you can't help rooting for" is the vibe Shakespeare was going for.
@@davidkueny2444 Though it WAS supposedly written to glorify a supposed descendent of Banquo (King James), so Macbeth being the guy you’re supposed to root for carries interesting political implications… 🤔
Hes literally the only sane person in the play
The sheer dread that enters Indigo’s voice whenever she says Lady MacBeth, pure chef’s kiss.
"Enter MacBeth. PLEASE enter!"
"enter... *sigh* Lady Macbeth..."
Which, like... is _exactly_ how you should feel when Lady Macbeth enters, so kudos for a perfect vibe
Oh yes
The ever growing tripidation and it was so warrented
I expected Lady Macbeth slowly becoming more unhinged overtime but I wasn’t expecting that kind of unhinged
No one did, Tim went all out there
The fact that Indigo slowly grows to dread every moment Lady Macbeth appears in the script is icing on the cake of Hello Future Me's performance...
Lady MacBeth ages throughout this play like milk
Ages 40 years in 2 hours 😂
From Babushka to Gollum
Merrit, I am confused, doesn't Babushka mean Grandma?
@@PikaPenny17 I think so, but I think Babushka also implies a sweet old lady as opposed to cranky Gollum
Gollum is also centuries old, I think.
Maybe she didn’t die of guilt. It was just old age
this feels like listening to a D&D group where one or two players are serious and everyone else is just kinda fucking around, and the serious players are just going along with it because it's still fun.
Exactly
21:10 this is the perfect example of that exact energy
Fun Players: Fuck around
Serious Players: Find out
DM: Fucker
(said with all the love in my heart, I love role-playing a serious cleric surrounded by murder hobos like he's the preschool teacher having to supervise toddlers high on sugar)
@@smolbluegoblin I have been the GM, and the babysitter. Hilarious. But remember, in classic comedy duos, comedians were a dime a dozen, the real skill was the straight man.
So Critical Role?
I'm glad you kept the bit where my cat Autumn was playing with the dagger. She was basically saying "Ooooh, shiny thing!"
[Enter cat, stage center. Cat plays with dagger, suggesting an existential threat to the Shakespearean dramatics. Audience breaks the fourth wall laughing!]
That bit had me on the floor. Just...It's a serious scene, there's a dagger that has made an appearance....And then the cat just comes in, steals the scene and steals a head scratch while she's at it. XD
Is that a cat I see before me? A paw toward my dagger?
Considering Red is..well, Red. The fact that there was less Gargoyles references than I was expecting. There WAS however more Muppet than I was expected
Nobody expects the Muppet Inquisition
@@luigiboi4244 i would expect it from Sesame Street, though. They ask questions all the time.
@@denverarnold6210 "Now tell me Count, what is the number of the day? I'd think carefully if I was you. We wouldn't want to make things _uncomfortable_ here on Sesame Street now would we?"
puppet mcbeth needed to happen, it was inevitable,.
Ah, yes, OSP, the only place where Macbeth leads to @@Obi-Wan_Kenobi threatening Count von Count of Sesame Street.
Blue looks like his father is gonna take him to the city to see a marching band. Red looks like they're abt to prepare to kill the one that wronged their family.
gotta love Red's wide eyed face whenever she gets blindsided XD
It's almost like this whole session is one long attempt to make her break into laughter
@@bananatiergod Isn't that what they said their goal is in the first 20 seconds?
Still love it though.
Or hears a dirty joke she didn’t expect from the original text 😂
The sudden panicked look around when Kermit appears is like "no this can't be happening, what parody of life is this"
It’s like a nightjar
I love that lady Macbeth became more and more Babushka as the stream went on
The babushka to Gollum pipeline
May I say, as someone whose friends are bad at math, but have a singular friend with a math degree, the roasting of Red for having a math degree was scarily accurate.
Red actively trying to remain composed and Blue just having an air of “What the hell am I doing here?” is beautiful
Red has the composure of someone who had to learn what a Mathematical Matrix is and actually learned it well.
Well, it's not like she's got a math major or something
😆😆
Red desperately looking in any direction but her monitor to avoid laughing, but simultaneously unable to look away is such a mood.
Love Red just repeatedly taking Deeeep Breaths while Blue just cracks in the background xD
Also, Indigo getting more and more exasperated as she announces... *sigh * _Lady MacBeth_
every time red tries to retain control of her face, it looks like shes actively fighting to keep her soul within her body, the mark of a true actor
And here we see Red's excellent display of the wide eyes of stress...and occasionally mathematical rage
Statler: "Now that really offended me. I'm a student of Shakespeare!"
Waldorf: "Ha! You were students with Shakespeare!"
Ohohohoho!
"What's the newest grief? Do we have another prime minister?" Is an underrated gem.
There are so many great parts of this. Kermit as Duncan. Jocrap Banquo. Lady Macbeth's ever changing accent and transformation into Gollum. The entire Lady MacDuff and Baby MacDuff scene. The unfortunately corrupted final battle. It's great.
i want to more of Kermit as Duncan
Ratio
@@kylehumbert5735 cmon man don't bring that shit to youtube
@@moldylunchbox1760 i said it because they said it
@@kylehumbert5735 NO 🗣️📢
I imagine Cyan just watching Blue's reaction and is all "Babe, how badly do u want to kill them?"
If you listen, she has commentary in the background also trying to get him and Red to crack.
JoCat as lady Macduff is the best thing that’s ever happened
Dom channeling Nanny Ogg for the second witch is a pretty close second.
@@darklordofsword Agreed. Absolutely delighted to see it.
@@darklordofsword ohai
There's a theatre group in my city right doing a production called "Shit-faced Shakespeare: Macbeth" where one member of the cast is gotten drunk and remains drunk for the whole show. I feel like I watched the reverse of that where only one member of the troupe remains sober. XD
Kermit going "take me by my hand" and then a hand appearing from off screen to hold his hand is just peak humor
Cyan playing the role of the unofficial Greek Chorus came totally out of left field and I loved it.
I got more “exasperated DM” from it all.
Red: performing incredibly
The rest of them: just being hilarious
Shakespeare would be VERY proud of this production. After he got done screaming about the terror of the technology, of course.
"No one's specialty is numbers."
I was laughing before I saw Red's face 😂
All gave a stellar performance, but for me, Tim's Lady Macbeth was the MVP of the show.
Personally, I think Kermit's Duncan gave Tim a run for his money
to whoever suggested Muppets adaptation of Macbeth in one of the Solo Hours, I salute you for your contribution to this masterpiece.
I love how blue looks like the only one who has an actual physical copy of the book 😭
Holy shit I never thought about the fact that the actual people behind Red and Blue would look like. *people* and NOT storyboard animatics irl. Jesus lmao this is shattering my whole world
First time? 😎
@@mirjanbouma yeah, I thought that’d be obvious
@@thatguy779 I think my first time seeing their faces was their april fools video from 2018
@@thatguy779 welcome! There's a few silly videos where their faces are also shown, iirc their first Q&A, and an April Fools one which I believe is titled "we're sorry".
I do strongly recommend that you watch all the videos. All of them. At your leisure, of course.
@@mirjanbouma I haven't seen all of those, but I can definitely second watching their April Fools! That's where I first saw their faces - and yet it did not prepare me for the insanity that this video was (in the best way!) 😂😂😂
I think Han Solo had the perfect response to Kermit's comedic antics:
*_"Laugh it up Fuzzball!"_*
Tim going full Gollum for Lady MacBeth is so hilarious.
Tims Performance is so awesome, but what kills me is Indigo being like enter *sigh* Lady Macbeth
This video is just another proof anything gets funnier with Muppets. Comedy truly peaked there
red being absolutely livid over the fact that her nonexistant wikipedia early life section was being insulted made my day
If portrayal of Shakespeare's plays in this level of quality are said to make him roll in his grave it's out of holding in his laughter. Thanks OSP for this MASTERFUL performance.
Quality might, but the approach is definitely something The Bard would have endorsed. Dude was master of the theatrical shitpost.
Red appears to be going "I will not break, if I do I know I won't stop laughing."
That's 100% accurate
A reminder: Red, Blue, and Cyan are all ace... _this just makes some of the lines and reactions funnier_
(As a fellow ace, I to made those faces at some of the lines)
Umm, Blue just got married last year. But otherwise yeah, same hat dude
@@LostInTheInternet93 Ace doesn't always equal Aro
@@LostInTheInternet93 to Cyan. Who's also ace
@@LostInTheInternet93 Asexual and Aromantic are separate things. Some people can love without wanting sex and vise versa
I knew Red was Ace but I had no idea Blue was as well
This is how enraptured I was, when someone actually took Kermit's hand, I was like "Oh my God, whose that with Kermit?!”
As someone who is face blind (as in, an actual diagnosis), it was a fun game trying to keep track of whose faces belonged to whom as they swapped positions on the screen and using their voices to confirm whether I got it right or wrong when they spoke.
...I didn't do WELL at the game, mind you, but it was a fun exercise nonetheless.
If it makes you feel better, I don't have face blindness and I still had trouble keeping track.
I thought for sure I recognized some of their faces from elsewhere and couldn't place any of them. Somehow decided the twink in the yellow shades was the priest featured on the JOLLY channel and was _very_ caught off guard by the "Mummy! Is daddy dead? Are all traitors _hung,_ mummy?" bit
To me, not diagnosed I literaly can not destinguish between 3 of the guys....
But this rendered me able to destinguish between captured in words and hallow future me who where indistinguishable to me up till then. Now I have one marked down as lady Macbeth and the other as not Lady macbeth
Ayeee fellow faceblind fren. I am telling you I was *struggling* every time.
@@baydiacTWINK?!?!
Blue and Red being the straight people is something I’d never thought I’d see 🤣
Edit 1: Also, Autumn is the cutest dagger in the Caesar
Edit 2: “Bring forth men children only,”
Gimme a sec. I’m on Reddit Incels
You will find that whether we are the straightmen or the banana men depends greatly on our point of view...
A certain point of view?

I think I would've appreciated reading _Macbeth_ more back in school if we were allowed to recite it like this.
Red, making good use of that degree in math. I had a friend in college who realized senior year that, even though her career path was CLEARLY toward drama, it was too late to drop her biology major. So she had to take all the requirements she had been putting off. She graduated with an Ivy League Degree in Biology and became a puppeteer and actor.
I’m glad they got the “what, you egg?” in there somewhere
I’m playing Macduff’s kid in my uni drama society’s production and that is my fave line in that scene :)
I just love that they casted Red and Blue as Macbeth and Macduff respectively bc of their dynamic within the OSP channel and in their lives: two friends that might as well be siblings at this point, but are also rivals.
When shall we meet again?
Dominic the Discworld witch: Well I can do next Tuesday
This could easily be renamed:
"The Techs do a Macbeth"
I fucking LOVE this and would love to see more like this haha
I now officially NEED to see this animated! Doesn't have to be the OSP cast animating it though, I just really want to see this whole beautiful mess in animation 🤣

Me too 😂

It is an odd day where Red is the most straightlaced one in a group larger than two.
I felIl on the floor watching the original. I'm glad this is condensed in order to inject the funny streight to my veins.
The best part about this is Red constantly having an existential crisis.
I love how many times Red got triggered by the math jokes 😂
I love the fact that Red is trying to be serious while Blue is dying in the background
This is the most inspired video you could make on Halloween. Reading Macbeth in the voice of Kermit was a genius idea lol
One of the several times I cried laughing! Brilliant! 😂😂😂
Honestly, the Lady MacBoi turning into Gollum is pretty accurate
B- for accuracy, but A+ for comedy
First two minutes and I'm loving it already.
I just died so many times!!! Kermit, “then fucking look again”, and the cat and dagger
I love Blue desperately trying to make his lines not sound sexual. Let's be real, this is Shakespeare. It was intended to sound mildly sexual. Man knew how to write a dirty joke into anything
We used to read Shakespeare in class and although we frequently went off script, it was nowhere near as funny as this lot. Kudos to "Lady Macbeth" for overacting (and great Gollum voice)
Edit: "Muppet Treasure Island" is the greatest movie ever made. Me and Red can duke out its virtues over "Muppet Christmas Carol"
MUPPETS CHRISTMAS CAROL >>
Dom, with Malcolm's first line: "It's my only line, let me have this."
Dom, 2 acts later: "When will my monologuing *end?"*
I did watch the entire production but I wasn't able to see Blue's reactions well so seeing the zoom in on him is fantastic. Also Red's microexpressions. You were trying so hard and it's hilarious
I also now have a face to match to Noir's voice, which unfortunately does make me think of him giving that banger RWD monologue, but with the Kermit. ALSO, Noir just, has a Kermit?? That's just a thing he has in his apartment (I don't know if I'm using correct pronouns for Noir)
Mystra played by Mrs Piggy
Noir bought the Kermit specifically for this I think. It was brought up in the OSPod episode where they talk about this video.
@@rhiannon5313 but why? How does one get that idea?! Do not get me wrong, I loved it, but I do not understand the thought process there
The guy playing Lady Macbeth is just living his best life, and Red's trying to figure out what sort of acid-trip she's stumbled upon
That’s Tim aka Hello future Me.
“And they all must be hung.”
“Listen don’t get smart with me.”
😂😂😂😂
The Queen hath (bleep)ing snuffed it.
😂😂😂😂
Did I already watch the whole two-and-a-half-hour video when it came out? Yes. Will I then watch 26 minutes of clips of it just 3 days later? Also yes.
One must relive the highlights of a long production.
Red's expression as she realizes JoCrap has shown up is priceless.
Red has the best 'try-not-to-laugh' expressions I have ever seen lmao.
I used to do a lot of theater, legit it was our job everynight to make somebody break character.... we were admittedly unprofessional
Lady MacBeth: Is their turn
Everyone: **INSTANT REGRET**
I think seeing Kermit as King Duncan elevated me to another plane of existence, and no I can no longer rest for I am constantly dying of laughter
19:20
Blue - *reading* ...The Queen who bore thee often upon her knees PRAYING than on her feet...
Me, remembering that Blue was supposed to be serious - *dies laughing at the implication*
"The Queen, my Lord, has f*cking snuffed it." The delivery on that kills me every time. Wonderful work from everyone involved!
What I love most about this is that half the things that break them are just straight up the original lines
Red is trying SO HARD to keep her composure. I don't know how she managed it.
The witches are the epitome of my last three braincells running in different directions with no coordination and I am here for it.
Tim's constantly changing Lady MacBeth gives me old merlin vibes from the BBC show.
Why does it tho??!! I love it XD
Best Shakespeare reading, hands down. Big Halloween Theater Kid Energy
Might we expect some of this to end up in your OSP Out of Context videos?
Multiple times did I have to stop the video to avoid filling the library I work in with HOWLING laughter but at 4:10 I nearly broke down and had to stop the video entirely.
EVERY TIME KERMIT APPEARED I COULD NOT BREATHE
Absolutly everyone in this is a gem thank you all. Also i love "is this a dagger i see before me" que half the cast pulling various blades
Red…actually has a really good grasp on the Folio Method (which is the proper way to deliver Shakespeare lines). Her pacing and subtle accenting are perfect! (I acted professionally over the summer in Shakespeare so I have a fairly solid grasp on what it’s supposed to sound like)
