Oedipus rex, The first mother fucker!

[FTGPurpleHippy]

[koenan1]

Killed his dad and unknowingly loved a woman from his family - just like Luke!

Also, the music is great in this! Anybody know if it was original?

[BringMeTheSceneKidz]

oedipus is the original motherfucker

[quepacho64]

turn up the volume:

*fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap*

[astone817]

Part 11 is after this then 10

[drizzy009]

What word cannot he say in public?

[JDGRIZZY]

like Bo Burnham said Oedipus was the first mother-fucker

[JMisSC08]

@JDGRIZZY haha thats pretty funny.

[TheCheese06z]

When I watched this in my english class, I could not keep a straight face when it showed that messenger. Oh god, I was the only one laughing... XD

[Nirvana4Life15]

@TheCheese06z hahaha me too xD

[Beatmyguest001]

@TheCheese06z REALLY, WE WATCHED THIS IN CLASSICS AND I WAS DYING, I TELL YOU, I WAS FUCKING DYING OFLAUGHTER

Caps to emphasise hilarity.

[MsJx56]

damn that motherfucker

[THEmissyplease]

I was THERE!

Seriously, messenger in purple suit is the best actor ever.

I HEARD ALL THAT!

[omgitsmikegravel]

@THEmissyplease I love him.  He's got those big teeth, and knows how to use them.

In Greek Tragedy, the violence always happens offstage. I think it's because the theater was so huge, with the whole town present for a festival, that it wouldn't have been very scary to see it from so far away. To imagine the violence by suggestion or description made it much more immediate. Shakespeare wrote for a much smaller theater and so the violence always happens right there onstage.

[bigrobdeezey]

Dude that comes in to tell them the queen is dead is doing a bad Christopher Walken impression

[bigrobdeezey]

Okay, I get that we're supposed to know what Oedipus will find out later, but when all the stuff started falling into place, why couldn't they put it together? When she says that the baby's feet were tied, why didn't he go "I got these scars"? It was prophesized to him, and when she says it was prophesized to her and tells the story, there's really no need to bring anyone else into the conversation. Is it just me?

[Marlafull]

I have to do this monologue for speech class. Thanks for uploading!

[SunriseGloryx]

"AGAAAAIIIINN AND AGAAAAIIINNNNN~"

[danielitro1]

so that is where MOTHERFUCKER comes from.

[Vladislak]

3:54 - 4:07

Group facepalm.

[THEmissyplease]

@Vladislak more like they all turn into vampires.

[perricida]

What a crappy translation...

[colourfulwithaU]

The chorus creeps me out.

[Vittoria10538]

"Father killer and mother** ... I can't say that word in public." heheee....

Jim Carrey was the first person I thought of, too. And to make it worse, he was actually funny -- and at the most inappropriate time.

[DanteWhite]

oedipus was a motherfucker literally

[yeseg92]

lol yeah! jim carrey in the mask.

[Omeedacris]

lol @ jim carrey message. I actually thought that as well.

[Yuli4592]

"when you sucked and fondled of the same breast"

lulz

[TownIdiot121]

lmfao

[ddude5000]

very dramatic spot to end this video. i think its funny personally

[Yrteop]

Again an Again ...

[sunnyahsan1]

5:07 JIM CAREY  aahahahahha~!

[sunnyahsan1]

do they must talk at once?

[renaki]

the 2nd messenger is really... annoying

[jackbridge92]

dont you hate it when people lick your bum hole

[agreatguy6]

"THE FATHER KILLER AND MOTHER- .... I can't say that word in public : /"

[junejoyleng]

I actually do like this messenger. He is animated, dramatic with a tinge of comic element in his acting. highly entertaining. :)

[TurtleShelltered]

Lol, at 4:08 they all look like big dracula bats

[xhagast]

According to mithology one of Oedipus' ancestors was in exile and fell in love with the son of Pelops, the great grandfather of Agamemnon and Meneleus. He kidnapped the boy and raped him. Pelops cursed him and the House of Cadmus. This eventually destroyed it.

THAT was the origin of this tragedy. Curses were oddly effective sometimes.

[thegoodnews4everyone]

A husband by a husband and children by a child.

[GamrDan]

Oedipus' very words: "No more, no more shall you look on the misery about me, the horrors of my own doing! Too long you have known the faces of those whom I should never have seen, too long been blind to those for whom I was searching! From this hour, go in darkness!"

[YeshaYah581]

ergh, the messenger is one of the WORST actors i've ever seen. I could have done a better job. They should have fired whoever did the casting.

[sweetcrush027]

the second messenger is horrible. god he's ugly and terrible acting

[onewiththeuniverse88]

"Hes doing his mommy? "

- Richard in Tommy Boy

[keybearer26]

damn....

[onewiththeuniverse88]

When you sucked and fondled at the same breast"

Word

[CatzKr]

Cool watching this. Were doing Oedipus as our showcase production. Awesome story.

[CDMfan05]

Damn thats crazy all because of the truth what next?

[iamjustinsameman]

The messenger called him a mothafucka!!!

[onewiththeuniverse88]

He is a fucking terrible actor

[JCuster89]

My favourite tragedy ever. Poor Oedipus.

[thinkbeforespeaking]

"she had concieved a husband by her husband, and children by a child"

[deadphish09]

dude this story is too fucked up

[corvette19991]

thats story bullshit im seeing it to pass in the exam

[derekjtg]

holy shit

[libertinemart]

The messenger who comes in halfway through this clip played the pilot in the Father Ted episode where they're going to crash but there's only two parachutes!! P.S. I'm not a nerd.
