I love how Sparky Sweets used his normal voice for reading the quotes. It was so weird haha

This guy is single-handedly saving my ass in english literature

"What is this? The NFL?" I shouldn't be laughing but I thought that was pretty funny.

"Too bad Othello don't know love is something you can't see." And that right there, hits you in the heart. Not race or Iago game playing, but Iago not being able to understand what Dr Swets says right there!

His reading voice is is so beautiful??

you know who I really feel bad for? the maids who have to clean the blood from all those killings

I'm doing Othello for A-levels, saw this, wasn't disappointed.

Sometimes, when I read a really good quote in a book I hear it in his analysis voice.

Wisecrack's scripts are always top shit. Never any slip ups. In a website filled with teenagers screaming "HELLO KZfaq!" and flipping their arms around while babbling about bullshit, it's comforting to know there are successful channels with actual content and quality.

i wish your channel had been around when i was in highschool, it would have saved me from wasting my time with sparknotes. GOOD JOB, very easy to understand

iago was the original savage

wtf does everybody die in every shakespeare work

Julius Caesar, romeo and Juliet, Othello. Shakespeare had a suicide fetish.

Bro they showed this in class man😂😂😭

Iago is one of the most interesting villians ever conceived

"Damn, what is this? The NFL???" LOLOLOLLLL HAHAHA

Seeing is believing, sure - but what did he see? That's one of Othello's major faults, that he thinks the eye cannot be fooled. And thus he is undone, by one who knows full well how easily it CAN.

Last minute revision is really going well.

We are studying Othello right now in my English class! I'll have to show my teacher this video so he can play it for the whole class. It was thanks to him that I know about Thug Notes! He showed us the Macbeth Thug Notes when people were not quite grasping what was happening. These videos are very helpful. Keep it up!

For Christmas you guys should do a thug notes on "A Christmas Carol"

I love how put himself as Othello lol

Can't thank you enough man! English exam in 2 days, and you saved my life with this!

Sparky, I love love LOVE Thug Notes. Thank you for making the classics cool!

Bro, this is some Michelangelo work. This is some 21st century masterpiece stuff you have here. Essays can be written alone on what you are doing, delivering, and realizing in the world. You are an artist the way you simplify the complex.

To me, I think Iago kind of represents the serpent(Satan) in the Garden of Eden.

I love Thug Notes! I wish they were still doing them!

Oh yes! I love Othello, partly because Iago is my favourite bad guy in all of Shakespeare and, possibly, all of fiction. I mean, he is a Magnificent Bastard by any definition, and is arguably the template for a LOT of manipulative villains in modern fiction. He strives to always get other people to do his dirty work for him, but isn't afraid of dirtying his hands if necessary. He uses his wits and reputation to his advantage and is a truly Machiavellian character...the best part? *He gets away with it.* Think about it; he kills two people himself. One of those, there's absolutely no evidence for so he would get away with THAT and the only one there's testimony of, it was his wife....and back in those days, a husband could kill his wife and MAYBE face a fine paid to her parents. The rest of it? He talked. There's no law against talking, so what are they going to convict him of? A lot of the time, he chose to word things so that he appeared to be counselling against violence...so, in a way, Iago wins. He gets rid of Othello, and probably gets away with it. *Iago Won.* That's what clinches it for me. He's a brilliant character, and the play itself is rich in both meaning and symbolism. But I won't go into that here. ;) :P

I hate Iago but he was well scripted you can't help but love him. Also the wisdom. Advising Roderigo to get his so that when Desdemona becomes exhausted with this quick passion he may be at the ready and thus win her. He absolutely knows how to hunt, knows how to move chess pieces. Love this. Let's smarten up, yo!

This is the greatest idea anyone had ever had and you are a genius for being the one to have it. Kudos to you my man!

I've watched over a dozen of these and I've been impressed by every single one. Super entertaining and funny as hell. Seriously, these are pure gold.

Out of all my subscriptions, this channel produces the best videos, that are the mostw educational, with the best viewership and best fan base. You guys do amazing work. thank you for providing us with styistic and educational videos, and here is hoping you guys keep it going as long as possible!!!

2:22 "Damn what is this? The NFL?" BRUH YOU CAN'T COMPREHEND HOW MUCH I WAS ABOUT TO SPIT MY DR. PEPPER ALL OVER THE ROOM!

Hahaha, "what's this, the NFL. " lmao hahaha

This is awesome! I didn't think it's possible for me to ever find Shakespeare interesting. Great job Sparky!

my english teacher showed this to the class while we were doing Othello and I couldn't believe how funny it was. I can't believe she hasn't gotten in trouble for that LOL!

Man, these just gettin better and better. Thanks Sparky.

just came across this channel and I must say I marvel at your work brother.

me doing positive procrastination for my English exam tomorrow

Shakespeare be like Michael Bay of the time bruh

Man, I Discovered this channel 2 days ago from reddit and already watched like 15 videos, this is awesome! Keep it up guys!

Best analysis I've ever heard,and with no fillers.

this is one of the most accurate reviews I've seen, great job!

"what is this the nfl?" lmfao

I have been waiting so long for this! Thanks :)

This is the first time I saw a complete video from you. I never saw an analysis like this! This will definitely make reading Othello a different experience and for the better. -Josh

First video I see from Wisecrack and damn I love that dude

this is very comprehensive, thank you

good shit man. I stumbled across ur vid and I love it. keep it up

2:20 *"Damn what is this? The NFL?"* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Priceless, Sparky, Priceless.

I think you did a great job simplifying a complicated plot. You took the play and made it funny to watch gangsta terms and followed it with a clear cut analysis of some key players. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for making shakespeare plays easier to understand. you truly are a life saver

Exactly what i was looking for, good vid

So Othello could be a criticism of pure empirical science, saying that correlation doesn't mean causation, and implicitly saying that faith sometimes is better than humanism?

There's a line in Othello about a drinker "now a sensible man, by and by a fool, presently a beast" that pretty much covers it.

Nice, my favourite Shakespeare play.

I needed this today. Thanks for the insight and laughs!

LOVE LOVE your 1812 closing! I stay for that.

thug notes is honestly my favourite! its soo helpful!!

please don't stop.... the funniest yet enlightening shit I've seen in awhile lmao

i love this!!!i only see the analysis of books ive read and see things a did not when i read it the first time!!

Othello directed by quentin Tarantino. Ohyeah, He already did!

This was the best series on this channel, please bring it back :(

I really love this, especially going to school in Harlem all my teachers always say I can relate to Shakespeare's plays but now hearing it like this, it makes more sense lol

really good man thanks so much!!

I think this is really gonna take my essay to the next level. Thank you.

This is a highly entertaining and surprisingly educational take on Othello! Great stuff man! Nice job on catching that Exodus quote from the bible!

Thank you for this!!

I love the way you describe the play.

Where was this video when I was writing finals last month? Great video by the way.

Awesome! I love your videos. My students love them too; they're awesome for a review after a unit!

thug's the goat when it comes to explaining all of this. he should be a role model for other thugs.

Do all of the Canterbury Tales please

I'm doing act 5 scene 2 for competition and needed some more knowledge on it and came across this.........HELLS YES no more boring summaries xP

As someone who's looking into making film, I am going to ow so much to your shared wisdom

Lost it at "What is this the NFL?" so true haha. Othello is such a sad story, your analysis is excellent as usual!

I am absolutely sharing this with my Shakespeare class. This was beyond excellent.

loved this!

What really impresses me about Othello (especially when it was written), is that is has absolutely nothing to do with race. They hate on Othello, not because he's black, but because he is not of noble birth.

Thanks for this. Helped me be more interested in my theatre history project :)

good thing i watched it now i can watch the play online and have a understanding of what it is about!

Didn't understand Othello at all before this, thanks so much!

There's a lot more to this play. I really wish they'd gone into the insider/outsider aspect of the play and how that effects the jealousy of Iago toward Othello as well as Othello's own insecurity in his position. It's such a dense play, but that is SO important that I was a little disappointed it wasn't addressed.

You make me want to be an English teacher, solely so I can use this to teach with.

I love it when the words flash up! Please do A Little Princess!

Thug Notes you legend, I've just started studying this!

I'm starting to need to translate these videos just as much as I need to translate the original text. Some of this slang is ridiculous, I love it

Maybe they should do a Shakespearean play about the NFL...

I love how you photoshop the emotions on your own face instead of just taking more pictures.

The NFL reference though!! XD loved the series, especially with Lord Of The Flies, The Great Gatsby, Romeo and Juliet, and can't forget Animal Farm. Keep up the great work man!

Live video!!! I highly enjoyed it.

I have to write an essay tomorrow analyzing othello and it's worth 10% of my grade. Thank you for putting this up!

Better than SparkNotes -- only took 5 minutes and I understand much better. Thank you! Funny too.

This is amazing.

This is fantastic

Excellent!

you know I am watching this because I have othello this semester,and this is some good learning

You always get right. And you look so good as Othello. Nice!

I've never thought about presenting Shakespeare in this way, but it's cool 'cause it's funny and insightful! I like it a lot!

Lol!. I am looking at these thug notes just to make it fun for my homework assignment! I am actually learning a lot it makes sense!. It is very helpful!

These videos are far more entertaining than those dry ass classes on literature I used to take back in the day, lol
