Those guys are HILARIOUS! We saw the Romeo and Juliet part of their show last year in English class and today I got their DVD. I'm not a big fan of internet abbreviations, but I can't think of a better time to use ROTFLMAO! I can't get over how good that was...and the special features ain't bad either.

I say the Bible one I while ago and I'm going to see the "Great Pieces of Literature" one in a couple of months. The Bible skits they do are unmatched in quality.
"So Jesus and Moses are golfing on Sunday-"
"They're golfing on the holy sabbath?"
"Ok, so Saturady-"
"Jews would golf on their holy day?"
"Ok, fine. Tuesday, 3 P.M. behind Mrs. Ferguson."
"Ok."
"Alright, so anyways, Jesus and Moses come across a par 4 with a big lake. Moses says 'You better use driver' but Jesus says "Nah, I saw Tiger Woods do this.' But as a caution he asks Moses to part the water if it goes in. 'Just once' is his reply.
"So Jesus swings and it goes in the drink. He looks and Moses and Moses does his thing. After he retrieves the ball, Moses says 'You gonna take my advice now?' Once again, Jesus shrugs him off 'I can do it'. So he hits it and like clockwork it goes in the pond again. He looks at Moses, 'Please?' Moses crosses his arm, 'Nope'"
"So Jesus walks on to the pond and starts reaching down trying to get his ball and a couple walks up next to Moses and says "Who does that guy think he is? Jesus Christ?" Moses replies, 'No, Tiger Woods"

BA-DUM-PSH!

I've been aware of them for a long time, namely because some friends of mine did their Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) bit for a variety show back in high school. So when I was in London a few years back I made it a point to see them. Schedules dictated that I didn't get to see Shakespeare, but rather The Complete Millennium Musical (Abridged). It was hilarious, but not as much as Shakespeare.

As it happens, just the other day I added the Shakespeare DVD to my wishlist. I want it.

I've seen the Romeo and Juliet version of it. I'm on a forensics team at my high school (that's Speech and Debate :rolleyes:), and there were a couple of students on the team that did a Dual Interpretation of it.

I saw "The Complete Works of Shakespeare (abridged)" last night. Talk about your weird coincidences. Yeah, it was friggin' hi-larious.

Oh, wait. Are those the guys who wrote "The Complete History of America (abridged)"? That was hilarious!

"His grandmother was a full-blooded Crow, and her wingspan was four and a half feet."
...
"What? They laughed."

There was a Reduced Shakespare Company category on Jeopardy! last week. I loved them, especially "Macbeth".
