R.I.P Lee :'(



[Bladepaw18]

If you can, TheRandymeister, upload the Solomon sketch. That is definitely something the youtube community needs to see! :)

[igzodian]

That was amazing!

[Arkatox]

I love Ted and Lee. Wish Lee hadn't committed suicide. :(

[igzodian]

@Arkatox Suicide?! But why?

[Arkatox]

@igzodian Beats me. I could've misheard about how he died, but I did hear it from someone who I would trust to the end of the earth and back again a hundred times.

[KnightOwl2006]

Funny.

[emofelix23]

If sports announcers spoke like that I would watch it.

[Schrody12]

I say 'tis marvelous! T'was borne in a mind of greater wit than 'ere I hath seen or heard tell, and yet the jests do not lie beyond the basest of comprehension. But ho! Thou foppish knave! Thou hast done a grave misdeed upon me, for I, with my own eyes, didst perceived a split, nay a void in the jest! Wherefore hast thou performed this blackest of deeds, thou deboshed fish, thou?

Translation: Awesome! But where is the rest of the clip?

[drsdino]

I think thats the point.

[montypythonchick1]

Wow! That is pure genius! It takes a truly talented mind to rework Shakespeare to pertain to basketball!

[saksjn]

that's awesome. anyone who understands and studies shakespeare finds this even funnier since many of the lines are direct variations of famous shakespeare lines.

[yoocoofoo]

Love it ^^

[Jingireichishin4]

OMG...I watched this on Bananas...lol...their so funny

[iKangaroorat]

hahahahaha! Get thee to a locker room!

[demothiflame]

ohemgee my youth leader LOVES the spurs! i'm gonna show this to him sometime.

[tamjane30]

This is brilliant! Haha! I'm a drama student and a basketball player...hahah! I loved it!

[KamokuChan]

Love it! <3

I'm a Shakespeare nut so of course this is interesting to me...

If actual basketball games were commentated like this I'd watch them! xD

[Emmynemm]

AHAHAHAHA and how the heck did they memorize all this? I hardly understood a word they said but I still laughed my butt off! :]

[fredhome7]

and there is one Robinson to swat asunder yon elipton orb...haha, very clever

[PainfulScarletTears]

i agree that was very clever.

Randymeister, who are these guys? I studied Shakespearean acting in London and the guy on the right seemed particularly familiar or plain fluent in his approach, thanks!

This was a great addition, BTW.

[TheRandymeister]

Their names are Ted and Lee. Ted, the one on the right, is still doing theatrical performances and such.

Good stuff.

[TheSolidGloryisJesus]

Thanks.

And just found out about Lee.

How terribly tragic.

[armymedic134]

what happened?

[TheSolidGloryisJesus]

He died. I don't know the details, however.

[armymedic134]

oh. nice name by the way

[fastmanxc]

I wish you did not cut out so much. :(

[TheRandymeister]

I only removed camera angles involving the audience. Most, if not all, audio remains in its entirety.

[fastmanxc]

I've seen this on Bananas, and there was quite a bit of small stuff that is cut out which cause it to lose a bit of charm, for me at least.

[01scott]

you should put the part on here were they are kinda doing the song of solomon! very funny stuff! lol :D

If William Shakespeare were alive today, would he really go for classic Spurs/Pistons? These guys certainly think so.

Actually, of course it has to be a less overtly poetic brand of basketball. Otherwise, there'd be no work for him to do, and this sketch wouldn't be nearly as funny. And in a way, wouldn't a running team like the Suns be our era's own version of Shakespeare?
