ok, Hamlet is randomly OC, i.e is to say you are not exactly focussing on the real Hamlet-well that would involve a fair good share of psychology, but this hilarious.

"We can't leave him along with that thing."

"Why not?"

"Oh, shut up. Come on."

Ha! Ever the voice of reason, beloved Horatio...

*collapses into giggles and dies*

Lol, I love this story! I was glad you posted! Write more soon!

*snicker* good one, matey! XD

Great beginning, it made me laugh. Please update, I look forward to reading the rest :)

LOL. This is interesting...a rather funny intruputation of Hamlet...

Your portrayal of Laerties had be cracking up! why? 'cause I'm in a production of Hamlet where Laerties is a 6'4 badboy who isn't afraid of anyone, not even the king! "My dread lord" Oh...our director has SOO much fun with that line...and I see you did too...but in a different way.

I love how you have them breaking out of their real lines every so often. You write the subtext in well...hehe. I'd like to see more of this please!

FYI, parodies aren't meant to be OOC. The point of a parody is to *exaggerate* someone's character traits so that they're funny. Making them OOC is completely missing the point. Also, even if you're not having them speak/think in Shakespearean, It'd be so incredibly less excruciating to read Hamlet speaking in at least mature modern language rather than modern teenager slang without the jargon. Also, you've taken the shallowest interpretation possible and applied it here.

And I find it rather insulting that you'd say something like "if you really read Hamlet". Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Harold Bloom. Hopefully if you've read it so thoroughly, you won't have forgotten these vital quotes concerning Hamlet's "madness":

"Here, as before, never, so help you mercy,
How strange or odd soe'er I bear myself,
As I perchance hereafter shall think meet
To put an antic disposition on,
That you, at such times seeing me, never shall,
With arms encumber'd thus, or this headshake,
Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase,
As 'Well, well, we know,' or 'We could, an if we would,'
Or 'If we list to speak,' or 'There be, an if they might,'
Or such ambiguous giving out, to note
That you know aught of me."

"Ecstasy!
My pulse, as yours, doth temperately keep time,
And makes as healthful music: it is not madness
That I have utter'd: bring me to the test,
And I the matter will re-word; which madness
Would gambol from."

Hamlet put on his madness to test people, to relieve having to contain his emotions in public, and to seem harmless around the castle. Also, so that he wouldn't be blamed for any insults or scandals he might start. Plus, to alleviate responsibility and procrastinate. Look at the dimensions on that one side of him. And to attract attention. Still think he was just 'mad'?

The closest he got to being mad was him trying to fool himself into thinking he was, so he would have an excuse for not killing Claudius, which meant he wouldn't have to feel guilty about being so tardy about it.

Hee! You already know my opinion of this but I'll review more! Tis excellent! Tis magnifico! Tis muy frio!! Well...cool, not cold...umm...yeah...
