That truly was accurate because if i remember my history the word moor was used by the European Christians to describe a person of African decent, plus the moors are known to have ruled Europe for like 500 + years
@@ashtonfranklin4620 You don't remember correctly. The Umayyad Empire ruled over parts of Hispania of the Iberian Peninsula for hundreds of years. Their conquest of Europe was stopped by the French. Muslim rulers continued to rule the Iberian region for several hundred years. Plenty of their dark-skinned African citizens-Moors/Berbers/Imazighens (same people, different names)- of various social strata arrived too, the first were conquering soldiers, but the rulers were of Arab descent. The word moor wasn't classist, it was descriptive. It means black, but the Moorish people were from Northern Africa. Shakespeare's tragic protagonist Othello was "the Moor of Venice".
First Beavis and Butt-Head gets revived and then Clone High. Now we just need Celebrity Deathmatch and the trifecta of the revival of popular MTV Animation properties will be complete!
@@Strykerx31 well, I'm not that old (I'm 23), but I did watched the 2005 live-action movie (decent for me). Finding out it was an animated series was a bit of a shocker and always made me curious to watch it!
This was my favorite show growing up!! I was born in 99’ but was raised on old MTV and Nickelodeon shows (I am my parents 5th kid so they stopped caring what I watched). Rocket Power, All That, Celebrity Deathmatch, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Beavis and Butthead, I could go on and on. Please post more!
Well _I_ was born December 1996, & my parents _&_ grades 3-5 teacher _did_ care I saw this, mainly online because I prefer the original version. The MTV2 reboot was current back then, & I followed its 2nd season closely
Lmao! God the subtlety of this show!! There are so many deep cut jokes in every single fight that the average viewer wouldn't even understand. Starting at 3:51 when it's a first person view from Shakespeare, it's views Busta with a fish eye lense just like so many of his music videos from back then. So cool!
I don't know why, but I find the idea that Nick is such an expert on the history of Rap that it was him who was tasked with updating Shakespeare on the genre hilarious.
Wildly fitting name! If you've become interested in leftist politics in the last three years stop by my channel next Saturday for a Celebrity Deathmatch inspired debate!
With the plethora of celebrities out there now that are practically screaming to get made fun of, yeah, this show needs a comeback. Eric Fogle, where are you? Pitch this to either Adult Swim or Comedy Central, forget MTV.
Garth Davis they are not fluent in english. a typical Asian parents think that all cartoons are good for kids. Im not sure why they are not seeing the violent acts and unusual things going on or they are just being ignorant. I’ve even watch simpson with my mom when I was 7 years and she thought it was for kids. 😂
Unfortunately Busta would probably die to the disease of Shakespeare's time though Shakespeare could definitely live long in modern day due to modern medicine so in the long run Shakespeare would probably outlive Busta
@@jayjaysworld7110 If they brought back Celebrity Deathmatch I'd like to see Alex Morgan vs Trish Stratus. Which fight would YOU like to see if they brought it back?
I always wanted more of these episodes as a kid when it cancelled. But MTV butchered the remakes, Mills Lane had a stroke, Nick Diamond's voice actor died, and Gomez's voice retired. Lightning in a bottle when it started, and I doubt you recapture something so QUINTESSENTIALLY 90's/early 00's.
breaks my heart that these beautiful quality tapes exists in the MTV Vaults yet the full show will probably never ever be scene in this quality. rewatching crappy tape transfers, i realize the show used alot of music that probably makes it a nightmare to release again in full. it would take editing it and I highly doubt that is Paramounts/Viacom's top priority.

More like Elephant Man mixed with Eddie Murphy.
Technicallyyyyy thats the other way around lol
Don’t get all x rated like ya boy Xavier woods 😏
Da Vonz ha.....he fucked paige
Somebody needs to make a petition to bring back Celebrity Deathmatch.
haha Busta and Shakespeare switched timelines and they both killin it. I'm weak

Sort of
Yeah.
One of my favorite games of all time. Visiting Jacob the Jeweler? So awesome.
Jonny deep vs orlando bloom. Kid rock vs eminem
they already did Bloom vs Depp.
I miss this show. Also, love the time machine bit, because it brought about one of my favorite fights. Grant vs Lee: The Rematch Spectacular.

Let's not forget that Shakespeare gave us the word SWAG.
Where?
"Welcome to the 90s Mr. Shakespeare"
