Dudley Moore and Peter Cook Use Shakespeare in Comedy

After the caveman bit, there's a song about Robin Hood's best friend. Tons of Shakespeare stuff in this, which is why I like it. Well, that and Dudley Moore is a hero. I remember the first time I heard a Dudley Moore/Peter Cook record. I nearly shat myself. This is from their TV programme, "Not Only. . . But also," which I've never seen.
If you pay attention, you'll hear quotes from 12th Night, Macbeth, and Hamlet.

Obama & Mercutio

When Obama quotes "Romeo & Juliet," I fall in love all over again.

PS3 Ad With Highly Redacted Henry V St. Crispin Speech

I just want to say that I find it totally awesome that video games are now using Shakespeare speeches to sell their products. I don't notice any reference to Shakespeare, nor do I notice any reference to anything Shakespearean at all, but I once read that Shakespeare has always been here, and I once read that he stalks the culture. When hippodramas were in vogue, Hamlet rode a horse. Now that video games are all the rage, Shakespeare is there, too, or still, rather. I am entirely enthusiastic about this despite their having butchered the speech a bit more than I would have liked. They had to get it down to 30 seconds, after all, and they manage to get all the main points I guess. It is one of my favorite speeches, one that I have committed to memory, and I like it the way it is, but how cool is it that it appears here in a PS3 commercial? Very.

A video of everyone but me

Now most of you are on YouTube... here is a video I took with the Campus Movie Fest camera. I know it is not the greatest, but neither are you, and this is the first video I have made with it. I will try and take some more videos before I have to bring the camera back next week. Here is the link.
