sometimes there’s videos that make me happy to exist on this planet
i’d reblog this even if it was a still image
I know it’s a sesame street clip but seriously, who is the target audience for this?
Parents watching it with their kids, I guess?
kids are perfectly aware that shakespeare is a thing, and “to be or not to be” is one of the few things they know about shakespeare. my nephew used to giggle like a fiend when my mom would talk all elizabethan to him. “what sayest, child, hast thou no cake? o injustice, sharper than a pokey stick! whither have the fairies whisked thy cake?”
i’m pretty sure patrick was here for the kids. <3
sesame street has *always* had a lot of jokes like this for the parents - totally clean, just fun cultural references to make it more entertaining for people in double digits.
