Shakespeare's plays were performed at theatres that had both upper class lords etc sitting in the stands and the unwashed masses down in the pit. Shakespeare thus wrote for both: he'd have some rockin soliloquiys but also hella dick jokes, there was a clown in most of the plays, ghosts and stuff, some murder.

Also a few of his plays poke fun at royalty or in some cases are straight up seditious, but hidden in such a way that the primary reading glorified the king etc etc. Pretty rock and roll when you consider that the King could have decapitated him had he found out.

I take comfort in the fact that we, as a species, have always found farts and dongs hilarious. It's somehow reassuring.

Yeah when I get crap for laughing at/telling a dick joke I find myself reminding people of my favorite little factoid; that key joke is the oldest known written joke in the English language and it's a dick joke. The day dicks quit being funny is the day I don't want to live anymore.

Macbeth definitely pandered to James' obsession with witches and claimed descent from Banquo.

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone

I forget which Canterbury Tale it is, but Chaucer wrote one story where a woman tricks a man into kissing her boyfriend's rear end as he lets out a huge wet fart. It's beautiful.

Canterbury Tales is as low-brow as you get. It's true, just add a few hundred years and people will think that common=great. The Redneck Comedy Tour will be seen as classic genius in the year 2437.

Edit: apparently I was wrong. But to make up for it, I've brought the pertinent verses.
Here's that part:

quote:

Derk was the nyght as pich, or as the cole,
And at the wyndow out she putte hir hole,
And absolon, hym fil no bet ne wers,
But with his mouth he kiste hir naked ers
Ful savourly, er he were war of this.
Abak he stirte, and thoughte it was amys,
For wel he wiste a womman hath no berd.
He felte a thyng al rough and long yherd,
And seyde, fy! allas! what have I do?
Tehee! quod she, and clapte the wyndow to,
And absolon gooth forth a sory pas.

And there is also a fart joke:

quote:

This nicholas was risen for to pisse,
And thoughte he wolde amenden al the jape;
He sholde kisse his ers er that he scape.
And up the wyndowe dide he hastily,
And out his ers he putteth pryvely
Over the buttok, to the haunche-bon;
And therwith spak this clerk, this absolon,
Spek, sweete bryd, I noot nat where thou art.
This nicholas anon leet fle a fart,
As greet as it had been a thonder-dent,
That with the strook he was almoost yblent;
And he was redy with his iren hoot,
And nicholas amydde the ers he smoot.

John is the carpenter. Alisoun is the wife. Nicholas is a clerk who is boarding with them. And Absolan is another clerk who also would like to sleep with Alisoun. I'm pretty sure this is where I first learned the word "cuckhold". And here's a side by side middle English to modern English version, if anyone is interested. http://www.richardbrodie.com/Chaucer/Miller.html

A poor translation posted:

"Now then, put in thine hand down by my back,"
Said this man, "and grope well behind.
Beneath my buttock there shall you find
A thing that I have hid in privacy.
"Ah!" thought this friar, "that shall go with me!"
And down his hand he launches to the cleft
In hope for to find there a gift.
And when this sneaky man felt this friar
About his arsehole groping there and here
Into his hand he let the friar a fart.

TECHNICALLY it's only 5.4 million, per person.

And yea, basically Republicans are going shitnuts about it which is incredibly retarded considering it USED to be 600k per person.
