[thunderbolt94]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! BEST. LEBOWSKI. PARODY! EVER!!!!!

[thecrowing07]

Excellent John Goodman impression.

[MrSneakyNicky]

The acting is actually incredible.

[angrypunkbronxkid]

I like how much is added in the translation of "SHUT UP DONNIE, YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT" to Shakespearian text

[cubuffs82]

I always thought I'd be pissed off if there was a sequal or remake to my favorite movie but this my friend is absofuckinlutly amazing!

[hammy311]

Be I wrong?!

[aaqaaqaaqaaqaaqaaqaa]

genious!

[Jkfilms7]

Made my day, thanks for showing me this. I'm buying that play and committing it to memory.

[Baadshahforever]

You are very talented. Very intelligently done...... man! Two thumbs up.

[technicallyabsurd]

"Thou art out of thy element"

[erickelleherdesign]

That is excellent pal. Well done!

[Enochcainx256]

I don't say this lightly. This may be one of my most favorite youtube videos. Bravo sir, Bravo!

[DragonMatt81]

This video makes my head hurt. :)

[snowwhiteandjazz]

this is brilliant

[australoameribelge03]

Thy art out of thy element!

[NathanBloch]

I woulds't fain watch the entirety of this interp were it made available to the tubes of you.

[Jammey90]

Your Walter voice is perfect!

[BuddhaMaster84]

Just one second of this is better than the eternal enlightenment

[horse3185]

Nay, good Sir Walter, I was a-bowling!

[linerider0800]

they urinate upon thy damned rug...

[Violenceinmind40]

You are great!

[ticnatz]

AWESOME !!!!!!

[SGTChuck82]

Thou should have acquired a robe for his dudeness. Other than that, excellent.

[Yermak29]

This guy is amazing! This is pure genius. To be able to take modern dialoge from The Big LLebowski and frame it as Shakespeare is brilliant. Hardesty is a master at his craft. Too bad they don't give Oscars for what he has done.

[ixat00]

@Yermak29 Actually, the dialogue was written by Adam Bertocci, there's actually a book out - the Amazon link is in the description.

[oreillyfan360]

True comedic genius. Absolutely brilliant.

[holliann86]

You are my favourite.

[Asylumer]

That was pretty good

[z1freerider]

Wow! This is so great! You got all three actors down! Love it.

[artvandelay13]

Verily, good sir, do I sing thy praises! With wit and spirite hast thou captured the very essence of this age-olde and well-beloved tale. Mine heart doth swell with mirth and my joyous chortles do fill my chamber!

[epire3]

where you on american pie book of love dude

[rbless]

very clever, i laughed =)

[asherel]

and you're fat to boot

[SkotDaSkyLord]

@asherel nice job you LOLOLITROLLU faggot, this guy is sweet even though ive only just started watching his videos, and even if he makes nothing of this he'll still be more successful than you will ever be, and no, i aint mad

[asherel]

you're no shakespearean actor

[asherel]

u suck

[skibbz0r]

this is fucking dumb and boring. how can any of you actually find this entertaining? oh right, you have to be a vergin nerd. yawn.

[UnknownSun556]

@skibbz0r ...Says the internet tough guy on youtube...

[wellesradio]

This video rocks. You played it so well. But you fudged that last line! It's dam-ned rug. Two syllables on "damned". Otherwise great. I know, I'm a stickler for the verse. This video would have been perfect if it weren't for that. You're a hell of an actor.

[ThisLittleBlackBook]

"shut the fuck up, donny!"

[TheHockeyCentral]

Wow. 

[Twozzok]

I wanna see you do the whole thing,

[peniosasdasd]

@OHLeeRedux

Why do you think that. 

[Willem100]

Donny. :3

[Violenceinmind40]

This is wonderful. Well done!

[leirgauk]

hahahahha! omg this is so brilliant! xD

[amyss27]

@itchcity

Oh yes, imaginative, hilarious and entertaining, but har har he's not skinny!

Ass.

[amyss27]

@itchcity

Oh yes, imaginative, hilarious and entertaining, but har har he's not skinny!

As witty as the contribution from "Slowfuse": faGGOT

Asses both.

[GoldStandardIsALie]

in, uh, Sooth, this uh, this uh, was a rug of value? Cahmaaaaaaannnn.

[MarcZERO1980]

this is irritating to listen too.

[slowfuse]

faGGOT

[Nerolus]

@slowfuse Neil?

[dhead22]

This is garbage.

[ttto]

son, i am dissapoint

[foreignrifles]

it's so funny to me, that they changed the words this way. I'm laughing, I'm laighing!

[wolfchimneyrock]

can't wait to see it on broadway, and then the post-ironic movie made from the broadway play

[DeafFret]

Forsooth dude

[Bodnoirbabe]

God damn. That was really fucking good!

[mistressbella]

Jesus... I didn't understand the movie. Why did I understand THIS?!

[dQuintNYC]

This is brilliant!

[asanineartist]

all this is is changing the words a little bit, fuck this,

[clintallen123]

@asanineartist Yep, you're asinine alright!

[CLumz100]

That is realy good stuff m8.

[sadbaby01]

This is too fucking cool. you rock.

[GorasonRyuu]

Lol thou are out of thine element XD

[WastedDaze78]

Dude… you have to do the whole play… this is utterly awesome… if you really took the time people would pay money for this… for fucks sake, they’ve had annual festivals over this movie.

Seriously, if you do this right you will get a pretty paycheck… besides the acting, this was effortless… it should have been done in a bowling alley… spend 500 bucks and REALLY make this mini-movie and you will profit …. This is too good for you guys to not do it right!

[basehead617]

congratulations, you win 1000 internets

[AwkwardDodd]

this is just too great...

[yorgle]

This is brilliant!

[eagle063]

I love how you kept true to the meter of the text. Call me a nerd or a Shakespeare freak, but I love it.

[sonic16913]

Surprisingly, I understood this scene easier than the original.

[01234V43210]

Oh my god, it's as if the actual actors were doing it. I love you, goony goon goon

[CandyHam]

much better than I could ever do

[bloocheez3]

gdfsdgfjwretgbrekhtkthghghrtgh­trhk4kithithkthkthegggdfjgjghk­fgkghgh

[majorocelot1124]

that was bad ass! 

[PufferBluntman]

Shakespeare couldn't possibly write this better)

[brianpburch]

a well deserved HAZAAH good sir!!!!!

[WyldeFae]

*giggles*

[Bluehawk2008]

The slur Chinaman in the original film should've been made Saracen for the "play". It was basically a slur used against Muslims "of Orient birth".

[InfernalRhythm]

This is one of my favourite films. This was awesome.

[ShadowTheJuggalo1]

I was very confused until i read the description.

[easycat21]

..".this man of orient birth" ha haha. Great Job Artie!

[PapaLeoNL]

"Verily, it tied the room together." LMAO!

[idic5]

very clever, very good script and delivery, guys. one quick think on goodman's character, I think it needs more of walter's seeting anger bubbling up more often to retain the connection to the orig. also , when you say 'damned', say 'damnED'.

but fun. and it is difficult to do this. gonna put on the stage anywhere?

[blueboyblue]

That was not easy.

-

It is extremely difficult to speak 'Shakespearean' language as if it we common speech, and you do it as naturally as it is possible to be done.

-

And on top of that, you captured the three distinct characters so beautifully.

[Shuffdad]

you are awesome good sir!

[eyepatchentertainmen]

this is amazing. your best video.

[EretzLaAm]

Well done sir!

[MsTamar29]

MORE! do another one

[MiniKirk]

Did you either find or post this on Something Awful? Good stuff.

[boydman117]

love lebowski and love this

[wolferman]

Great dialogue!

[joshlee1090]

You should do Dude Where's my Car next. I think the universe would collapse in on itself. Great video Brandon! Brilliant script and spot on acting! 5 Stars!

[Eserpess]

i think you broke my brain O_O WITH A FUCKING RUG WTF!

[tehdinahsaur]

Just so we're aware of how awesome my hometown is... rehearsals have already begun for our production of "Two Gentlemen". I'll be running lights for it in just a couple short months!

[WarsNoFairytale90]

*sigh* Does every Shakespeare-styled play or tribute have to have a "To be or not to be?" reference in it?

[BMassey1987]

-stands and claps-

Bravo. Bravo.

Simply amazing.

[FavsMy]

Thy hast entered a world of pain

[gfxdave99]

Like, Unlike? I want to click like 100 times.. ()#@&)#& youtube

[macandrewes]

Brandon this is fucking genius!

[TeaFlow]

Dude....this is great

[saiyanprince09]

This is truely your most beautiful video Brandon....I think I'm gonna cry

[2112Halloween]

SHUT THE FUCK UP DONNY!

[AnarchalPatriarch]

@2112Halloween Sir Donald, hold thy tongue!

[kellingc]

You know, you my dear jester, are a master. As one watches your performance so, one forgets that you are but one man and one camera. The illusion is so complete that it is easily believed that you are but three with a camera on each of thee.

Bravo, bravo. I shall remember you like a prince remembers poor Yorik. Not in death of course, but the Yorik that was of infinite jest. The lively, wonderful friend of that prince, not the plain skull found the grave digger's wake.

[sBurfishkid]

Wow. I am about to be in a production of this show, and I just can't believe this guy isn't going to play Walter. You are an amazing actor man. Bravo.

[MuToiDMaN]

Great impressions!

[bludgerbeater628]

Amazing job!

[sacredgeometry]

A work of art, thank you for the laughter.

[jdh2118]

bravo good sir!

[NorwayRichard]

Holy shit, this dude's a genius! How old is he? He looks barely old enough to drive. Ha ha! I wish I had half the IQ of this kid genius!! :)

[PersephoneAndMinerva]

BERTOCCI, My God ! You're actually Shakespeare ressurected ! GOOD LORD

[Agslions]

Naysayers be damned. Frickin' brilliant.

[WhyAmIStillFilming]

Well done, sir, well done.

[JamesLocken]

LMAO it's fuckin halarious cause you're so serious and u could definetly own ur own show bro,

[melyannastormwind]

I was into you at "amazing".. and knowing good Shakey from bad, am tempted to give you props on your instincts here. TY for the vid.

[Npowell01]

I loved your portrayal of Donny the second he sat down and started looking back and forth with his goofy-ass look.

Interestingly enough, I knew about the Bertocci play before you even uploaded this video, so whenever I saw the name in my subscription list, I was surprised and delighted.

Great job, knave.

[TariBriggs]

when suicide is an option!

[pseudomonojk]

Damn good, you gots a future in acting. Shomer F'n Shabbas

[alex45632759781432]

you are talented man

[lobotomer]

Brilliant. If you reenacted the rest of the movie, I'd probably watch the whole thing. Very impressive indeed.

[Sitas]

Impressive, really impressive.

[lokithesly]

well I have to watch this movie again lol.

[themgurley25]

This video is Awesome

[MildManNerd]

[JosephusXIX]

that was pretty damn good, and creative.

[demonboy809]

Dude.

[Furiouss06]

well done good sire! well done! may we see more delightful performances like this one!

[yaknbo]

Very well done. Thank you.

[yaknbo]

Pedascule!

[codeythornell]

only one problem brandon, the guy in the glasses is talking to himself. (reflextion in the glasses)

[AznBrit]

HAHAHHAHA

[Thomaspeev]

Why doth thou pester us for our fortune so, thou art nihilists art thou not?

[6663000]

Great accents.

NICE John Goodman.

[Wotvr]

"Orient-man is not preferred nomenclature"

Pure gold, that Adam's a genius. Your acting completes it, however. Well done.

[thno3]

Fantastic - most frustrating that the play has been removed from the site ...

[skullydt]

You are a goon amongst goons

[momae7]

unbelievable.... well done

[TheSeabranch]

EPIC!!!

[jasonkops]

bravo!

[AceTracer]

This was amazing. I had already read the play, but damn did you do it justice.

[theskullelectric]

Jesus Christ awesome. To Be Or Not Lebowski, that is the question.

Also, Goon.

[mattfoley99]

Hey You said It Knave...none Hath Fucked With the Jesus

[theresalynn36]

This is awesome! Genius!

[Bloodcider]

Holy shit. I remember watching your reenactment of a Jurassic Park scene ages ago. I didn't know you were a goon. Amazing.

(The video, not you being a goon.)

[AcidHead27]

It scares me that I understand what you were sayin artie, it scared me O_O

[Swimminginyourpool]

@AcidHead27 Most native speakers should.

[AcidHead27]

@Swimminginyourpool the funny thing is, Shakespear's works didn't always amuse some people because they were so illiterate xD

[Swimminginyourpool]

@AcidHead27 He made up a lot of words, flipped around sentence structures and hearing has nothing to do with literacy.

[jacksawild]

stop... raping... shakespeare...

[Npowell01]

Elaborate.

[jmmiv]

..... Awesome......... very very well done

[rocksronaldo]

u are a real fuck u greedy imperial capitalist asshole

[jordeon]

genius!!

[Morrinn3]

Encore!

[Cdurr]

This is fucking amazing, a bit annoying also, but mostly amazing

[wardancer]

Brilliantly written, and each character is fantastically acted, I liked your Donny, and also your Lebowski.

[Cleverconveyence]

Your Walter is fucking incredible.

[figure8productions]

Have to say that the word "knave" doesnt fit with "dude" at all. (I heard you talking about it on the Lebowski podcast so I know your reasoning for the choice) But very well written sir!

and acted I would say!

[angellcorps1]

Do the entire play!

[JvillePunk]

ROFLMAO Kind Sir!

[ravenlaughs]

This indeed was a brilliant work.

[robint64]

brilliant work brandon

and the play looks brilliant

jeff bridges when asked in an interview which of his movies did he like the best said, "well all of them but i enjoy watching the big lebowski over and and over" lol

hope good things are happening your way

[jasminejobe]

This is SO WELL DONE --- KUDOS good sir!

[mannychase1023]

Great wrighting man brilient!
