"Ye hoebag" this is an insult I will now regularly use.
-
Dr Seuss: Smiles during Shakespeare’s verse Shakespeare: I bet you wrote the twilight books too Dr Seuss: Looks like a literal serial killer
-
The fact Shakespeare's first verse in entirely in iambic pentameter is something else.
-
Shakespear's second verse is exactly what you'd expect for a savant suddenly thrust into the modern age. A kind of crazed genuis that adapts to whatever is around him. Absolute brilliance.
-
Rick Astley Vs. Rebecca Black. The worlds worst, most troll friendly song :)
-
Shakespeare: I’m the superior author, your characters are weird af, you disappointed your parents, you’re old and not cool Seuss: 😃 Shakespeare: You also probably wrote twilight Seuss: 😡
-
Shakespeare: * 25 mph* Cat: * 60 mph* Shakespeare: * 100 mph* Things: * 5 mph*
-
''Ye Hoebag'' Literally the best line ever.
-
"you leave a classroom lookin like the end of Macbeth" holy shit
-
Writing that first verse in iambic pentameter and having it work on a modern rap beat is damn impressive
-
I love how Seuss is relaxed until Shakespeare mentions he wrote twilight
-
Dr. Seuss was incredibly shy, hated speaking in public, and had throat cancer later in life, making talking difficult... so he lets his work speak for him. Genius.
-
Shakespeare, 'cause his flow and lyricism was inhuman
-
I’m sure it’s already been said, but the fact that Suess “speaks” only through his characters is a brilliantly subtle and loving homage.
-
I love how they added how suess couldn't speak due to oral cancer. They also added the whole imagery of letting your work do the talking, as evident when Dr suess starts creating the cat and the entire world for his side of the rap.
-
The verse for Things 1 and 2 was like The Godfather Part III: Everything preceding it was a masterpiece, and I’d rather just not acknowledge its existence.
-
I can't believe Dr Seuss tried to go after Shakespeare, the man who literally invented "yo mama" insults
-
Dr. Seuss uses his book-written characters to duel Shakespeare. Shakespeare can't do that since all of his are dead.
-
can we all take a moment to appreciate the beat for this
