I think we tend to miss that that's part of the point. Shakespeare never says that Romeo and Juliet are wise. The lesson is that feuding contributes to more awful things happening.
So, Osborne, the really successful children's publisher, thought that you could make Shakespeare okay for kids. And they were fine for the most part. And then there was Romeo and Juliet. You cannot make that okay.
The look on Whitney's face when she says "Thou art fourteen" and "Dost thou hear thyself" is absolutely priceless! I also love how Mallory is just casually drawing lines in the arm of that couch with her fingers like a real 14 year old girl.
Gosh you could do this with Helena from Midsummer Nights dream. "My best friend and her boyfriend are running away because her father wants her to marry my ex-boyfriend, so I'm going to tell him that they are running away so that he'll like me again!" I love Shakespeare.
Technically it’s Elizabeathan English, so if you look that up you should find a translator (or at least a dictionary”. First tip, add the “th” ending only after verbs. That’s 90% of it
Awesome Irock I wish they do A movie with all their unique characters, I can just imagine meese as Kyle going to the awkward Viking at a bisque shop and saying now I got two clubs. I just love this show
This was my first StudioC video and I keep coming back to it. Wish I could like it a million times over, it is truly excellent and never fails to brighten the day :) please do make more Shakespeare (yeah, I have seen the others)!
Thanks Studio C! In 8th grade, we had to do a project for Midsommer’s Night Dream, and I was inspired by your Shakespearean Therapy video!!! We did a therapy skit with Titania and Helena
Ben He also kills Paris and himself, so a total of 3 people die in a single play by one person, and that person also just so happens to be Juliet's love
"And what afflictest thou, Macbeth, Thane of Cawdor?" "Verily, since I didst hire two ruffians to kill my best friend, his phantom departs not from me. I cannot dine in peace, cursed is mine house, and now my fair wife complaineth of bloodstains upon her hands!"
Bro this means the studio C cinematic universe, either shakespeare dropped hints and clue that "Hamlet" and "Romeo and Juliet" occur in the same universe and town of verona or even better they explicitly do. This would mean that the idea of multiple stories existing in one continuity happen way earlier than it did today, and Shakespeare made it. This would revolutionise writing, and thus step forward the idea of a "cinematic universe". Meaning something like the MCU could have occured much earlier infact, meaning we could of had the meme I am inevitable as early on as the 1900s (when the character of Thanos was invented).
+Cathryn Martin If she was married to both men that wouldn't be adultery, but polyandry. Not necessarily better from her viewpoint, but I felt like being a stickler.
You know you're an English nerd when you sit here subconsciously counting off the iambic rhythm and seeing how many lines are pure iambic pentameter. I laugh at this sketch, but in a very strange, nerdy way. Ha ha ha!
the psychiatrist then quits, falls in a rabbit hole and now calls herself the red queen
Blue Blue bwahahaha! That is complete awesomeness!!🤣😆😎
omg that would be such an amazing plot twist
and one of the rabbit holes was a hole in Juliet's plan
Blue Blue she looks and sounds like it! 😂
Sound like a good trade
"My fathers ghost appeared to me and now I must kill my uncle" hamlet! Lol an entire play summarized in one sentence
TheFourteenthPhoenix to true
"My wife lost her handkerchief and now I must strangle her." Othello
My favourite Shakespeare play ❤
Ha you mean lion king
@@sydneyedwardsproductions the lion king was based off hamlet
This summed up every problem I had with Romeo and Juliet. XD
+GiGi Babineaux And Hamlet :P
+Tia Marie It wasn't quite that simple, but yes. XD

+CalLadyQED Shakespeare in fact mocks the young lover's stupidity.

Ms. Frizzle. Here is proof that she is a Time Lord.
Sara Carter and the magic school bus is her tardis
Thy’ts amusing 😂😂😂
Ms Frizzle is river song confirmed
Lol
Plot twist: this is just the episode where she's teaching the children literature
"My father's ghost appears to me and now I must kill my uncle" This is my new senior quote
Oh my goodness DO IT.
To be fair, Hamlet demanded evidence. Usually classic tragedy characters require far less to commit murder or treason.
Is Bob your uncle?
I want to hear the rest.
it's representing "The Lion King" LoL🦁🦁🦁
Disney: you can’t marry a man you just met
Shakespeare: hold my candle
Shakespear: hold my quil
And my axe!
@@sunpirerising634 Very well!! You shall be known as... the fellowship of the ink!!
You’re both wrong! Its:
Shakespeare: Hold my human skull that I have for some reason
Titanic: Try to hold my Iceberg.
The look on Whitney's face when she says "Thou art fourteen" and "Dost thou hear thyself" is absolutely priceless! I also love how Mallory is just casually drawing lines in the arm of that couch with her fingers like a real 14 year old girl.
The virgin Mary got married at 14, and that turned out well
"Omg its me and my boyfriends two month anniversary! Lol I love him so much!"
"Thou art fourteen."
"Dost thou HEAR thyself?!"
"We'll be together forever!"
"Thou art still only fourteen!!!"
+Honey Kat Opal it twas two month ago :-)
+Honey Kat Opal it twas two month ago :-)
"So when are you going to get a boyfriend?"
"I art fourteen."
Middle school crushes be like...
Way too true
offense taken
Lol yes
I never thought of it in that way 😂😂😂
"Lets date but my parents can't know"
Dani A. Wahh
" He seemeth to me a player!" - One of the best lines
Ally Frith
"And not the kind on a stage"
Gosh you could do this with Helena from Midsummer Nights dream.
"My best friend and her boyfriend are running away because her father wants her to marry my ex-boyfriend, so I'm going to tell him that they are running away so that he'll like me again!"
I love Shakespeare.
Susanne Hecht ikr but they should do it with bottom and jason playing bottom would be perrfect
Or viola in 12th night
Yep. Shakespeare is great.
Did anybody else notice how Malory, excuse me, Juliet kept petting the couch?
LyricsbyRachel yeah that was weird
LyricsbyRachel yeah I wonder why
That's what I would do 😂
The couch does look soft tho
It was her sophisticat!
Google Translate needs to have Shakespearean as a language xD
Technically it’s Elizabeathan English, so if you look that up you should find a translator (or at least a dictionary”. First tip, add the “th” ending only after verbs. That’s 90% of it
Sparknotes has no fear shakespeare which 'translates' it to make it easy to understand
I really wish they would make this a series
I know right they should!!!!! They should take different shakespeare characters like hamlet and macbeth 😂😂😂
i wish they had!!! if any teacher showed this to their classes, they would ALL get 100% on their tests!
I'd be really interested to see what would happen in sessions with Lady Macbeth, Richard III, or Othello.
Lol
If I ever become a parent, I am SOO quoting this.
"My father's ghost appears to me and now I must kill my uncle."
Ahh, classic Matt delivery.
Hamlet at the end was just gold XD
"This man seemeth to me a player! And not the kind on the stage."
Dost thou hear thyself?
My father's ghost appears to me, and now I mist kill my uncle.
Mudita Y. Of course.
Imma use that now
mal makes a great juliet!
Ikr
I want to speak like this every day
anyone have ice
Varrondy like what 😬
Part 2! Part 2! Othello! Or Macbeth! Or some other Shakespeare play that I can't think of! Just, please, Part 2!
I am totally obsessed with Shakespeare, and this is REALLY funny.
I'd like to see a part two to this one.
+shawn dahl I think that about nearly every episode, but, sometimes, you just have to imagine it.
Awesome Irock I wish they do A movie with all their unique characters, I can just imagine meese as Kyle going to the awkward Viking at a bisque shop and saying now I got two clubs.
I just love this show
I think part 2 would start with hamlet saying he's contemplating suicide too!
With Macbeth!
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasss!
that Hamlet at the end tho......
Yeah, it's quite a good summary of the play XD (well... I guess the beginning at least. The general overarching plot.)
Also can I just say David Tennant in Hamlet was actually the best... guys...
+Elena Chamberlain Nope, Benedict Cucumberbut. It's a joke don't correct me.
hahahaha +Thandi Glick I got you fam (they're all the best, right?) XD XD
Thandi Glick Tennant was way better
^When my friends talk bad about themselves^
Me:Dost thou hear thyself?!?
As soon as she said "Tuesday" I IMMEDIATELY thought of Elsa
Linnaeus Kuderewko ??????????
Remember Juliet met Romeo on Tuesday which was like one or two days ago and Elsa doesn't like marrying a man you just met?
Linnaeus Kuderewko
Sure... lol Sorry, didn't get it the first time >-
hehe that's fine
+Linnaeus Kuderewko sorry, but I think it was actually Anna, Elsa was the queen with the powers
“My father’s ghost appears to me and now I must kill my uncle.”
“Of course”
I’m so done! 😂
This was my first StudioC video and I keep coming back to it. Wish I could like it a million times over, it is truly excellent and never fails to brighten the day :) please do make more Shakespeare (yeah, I have seen the others)!
“Dost tho hear thyself” is a sentence I plan to be using in my daily life.
My new saying "Dost thou hear thyself?!"
This was literally what I was thinking when I read the original Romeo and Juliet through for the first time.
Ha! That's hilarious!
"My father's ghost appear est to me, and now I must kill my uncle." XD
Then, if you read Whitney's lips after that line.
*of course*
digifreak90 'of course'
Donna Doddridge
TARDIS
The story of Matt's life.
Donna Doddridge Where was that from?
“For his heart is fickle see!”
“Dost thou hear thyself?!”
I love Whitney in this!
gø away wait nø Whitney is super good
"But I loveth him"
"Thou art fourteen"
That broke me
At the end was that hamlet or the lion king
There's no difference.
I thought this sketch couldn't get any better and then I scrolled down
The Lion King was actually inspired by and adapted from Shakespeare's Hamlet :) So technically, both
It was also "inspired" by the Japanese animated franchise "Kimba the White Lion". ONE SYLLABLE OFF PEOPLE!
yoshimickster actually that movie copied off of lion king
Juliet-But I love'th him
Therapist-Thou art fourteen
😄
Right when I read that they said it same time
“That was three days ago”
Yea, I remember it like it was yesterday
We've just started Shakespeare in class
And all I can think about is this sketch
This makes Shakespeare more entertaining
'He seemeth to me a playa' ' 😂
In love after three days? Ah, the Provo Special in Shakespearean times 😂
It does all seem crazy when you look at it that way
Hamlet reference at the end! I only just understood that! =D lol!
*When my friend talks about getting back together with her ex*
"Dost thou hear thyself?!"
She's actually 13...
hkatej Yeah, it's like that would make it better x3
hkatej They were even younger in the original.
Dovahkmini The Second
What is with your profile picture? xD Its Dovahkiin, but is that a squirrel? o.o
Saryn Vilinax No ... It's DOVAHKMINI!
Someone said it!!
Mallory is just adorable 😇
Juliet: He is quite fickle...
Therapist: *DOTH THOU HEARING THE SOUND COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!!!?*
I love Romeo and Juliet, and this honestly makes me love it more 😂
"Um. Thou art fourteen"
Thanks Studio C! In 8th grade, we had to do a project for Midsommer’s Night Dream, and I was inspired by your Shakespearean Therapy video!!! We did a therapy skit with Titania and Helena
Oooo I'm curious. Can you share your skit's script maybe?
Nothing could possibly go wrong.............
From the last one, "She just finished therapy!"
The thespian accolades bestowed upon these fine artists from on high doth surpass even the poshest a nobleman’s expectations.
“This man seemeth a player” 😂 🤣
I've read Shakespeare and proud of it.......
Romeo killed Juliet's cousin, Tybalt Cabulet, but Juliet was more heartbroken that Romeo was banished than that her favorite cousin was dead.....
1:37
"Thou art 14"
Is the best line in the entire sketch
"Dost thou nought hear thineself?!?" 😂
Also, by comparison, the ghost story at the end seems quite sane... by comparison that is...
I was once in Romeo & Juliet- I played a random Montague.
I also was in Julius Caesar as Cassius.
I showed this to my English teacher during our Romeo and Juliet reading
It was very enjoyable indeed
I can't believe I never fully considered all of this. He did kill Mercutio... Juliet has problems.
No, Mercutio taunted Tybalt who fought and killed him and then Romeo killed Tybalt because Mercutio was his best friend. Tybalt= Juliet's cousin.
Okay, sorry. I forgot who killed whose cousin.
Ben
He also kills Paris and himself, so a total of 3 people die in a single play by one person, and that person also just so happens to be Juliet's love
In Romeo's defense, Tybalt deserved it and would've died anyway.
Thou maketh a second part?
- "I need and iPhone 11 pro"
- "Thou art fourteen!"
This needs a sequel. More Shakespearean therapy!
when your studying romeo and juliet, this is SO good!
You missed a perfect oppurtunity for macbeth those characters definitely needed some therapy
All joking aside loved the sketch
I thought at the end she would ask "What's thy name", to which he would reply Romeo.
THEY TALKED LIKE MARTHA FROM THE SECRECT GARDEN YUUUSSSS
Whitney: “What troubles you today?”
Matt: “My fathers ghost appears to me and now I must kill my uncle.....”
Lol xD
I’m reading Romeo and Juliet in English which makes this so much better 🤣and this is hilarious!!!! 😂
Love the dresses!
Lol this is so true. I love how Mallory is just petting the couch.
One word....more! 😄
Yeah I want to see Matt's therapy session
you should do more of these!!! I absolutely love Shakespeare
Good on the script writers for evoking the Bard’s style! ☺️
HAMLET!!!! The omelette king!!
You could put Matt in literally any costume, and I will *love it* .
We're reading Romeo and Juliet for my British Literature class. My teacher recommended this video to me. I love it
This skit was really well written I LOVD STUDIO C
*whispers* Mallory. Stop petting the couch. You’re making me uncomfortable. 😂
Too funny - everything wonky and overly dramatic about Shakespearean characters :) Love them all, anyway!
You should definitely do a sketch about Hamlet! Maybe when his father appeared to him or something.
"And what afflictest thou, Macbeth, Thane of Cawdor?" "Verily, since I didst hire two ruffians to kill my best friend, his phantom departs not from me. I cannot dine in peace, cursed is mine house, and now my fair wife complaineth of bloodstains upon her hands!"
Whitney: “What troubles thee?”
Matt: “ My Father’s ghost appears to me and now I must kill my uncle!”
Lol XD my favorite part of the sketch!
You guys are soooooooo cool! Thx for a smile on my face!
This is my director’s favorite video ( he has a degree in Shakespeare)
this man seemeth to me a player
This was the first Studio C sketch I ever saw, even before I had heard of the show itself. I just caught it while channel surfing.
"Thou art 14." Enough said.
"Dost thou hear thine self?!"
"Thou art kicking thineself in thine foot!" HAHA!
My fave sketch ever
"... Though art fourteen."
Love this.
"My father's ghost appears to me and now I must kill my uncle."
A comedic masterpiece.

But that's just a theory, a your mum theory
I would love to see a sequel to this with Hamlet and other characters from Shakespeare!
This was so funny!!! I read those plains and was Ophelia and Laurtes in Hamlet as a play at my school
Wait, how were you both of them?
Thou art fourteen
Mickeymouse 4eva I'm disappointed in myself😔😔😔
Actually thou are thirteen
To be fair, in the real Juliet's eyes, dying for real would've been better than going to Hell for adultery so...
+Cathryn Martin If she was married to both men that wouldn't be adultery, but polyandry. Not necessarily better from her viewpoint, but I felt like being a stickler.
@@TheWereSloth in a country where polyandry is illegal, that also means she's not legally married to Paris and is thus an adulterer.
You know you're an English nerd when you sit here subconsciously counting off the iambic rhythm and seeing how many lines are pure iambic pentameter.
I laugh at this sketch, but in a very strange, nerdy way. Ha ha ha!
