i need a whole video of him just roasting and ranting about all the shakespeare plays he hates
yes pls
This 😂
😂😂😂
I’m eternally pissed off that they didn’t do the full line “do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?”
Exactly
RIGHT
oh you ARE a swiftie when you knew to correct 'pain' for "paint"
It’s Taylor Swift’s use of “you” and “me” that gives it away.
Ikr😂😂😂😂i was thinking the same
The fact that you can even do this quiz and have it be fairly tough shows just how incredible of a lyricist Taylor is
So fun! William Shakespeare being called London boy ☠️☠️☠️
As a Swiftie who has a BA in English, this is the best thing ever!
Same here, totally
BA?
@@quibblcrbachelor of arts
@@reprep4821 thx
I know this is a year old, but, if you havent - Please watch What Do You Do with a B.A. in English? by Avenue Q
“we like sheep” story had me in stitches 💀
These are so much fun. Your dad is really engaging, and absolutely knows his Shakespeare!!
Not his dad
"Have a good verb," "avoid prepositions," such good tips
"He didn't abandon his family. He just didn't live with them for 20 years or so." That was the best!
I don't really listen to a lot of Taylor Swift, and I don't care for Shakespeare's plays (like his poetry, though). I still guessed about 85% of these right. This was fun!
please have him back on to give us essay/writing tips because i’ve definitely been using too many ‘that’ clauses 😭
Ivy really is the best song on evermore TASTE
Clearly I just need to listen to Evermore more since I only missed the Ivy and Coney Island lines.
Yes pls evermore needs more love🙏🏻
Honestly the tips at the end for writing an essay were amazing! He's so right, we do write for the test, not to actually write well. Please let him know it was great advice!
I just love your dad, him smiling, laughing and also educating me at the same time. You guys are very wholesome
I love these videos with your dad. The story with the opera 'I like sheep' made me cackle!
That’s the funny thing, they are not father and son! 😅😂
@@GagaBoy1346 huh? in the first video he calls him dad and refers to him as "my dad"?
@@nicolev.3532 he does in this video too
As someone with B.A. in English (and a Masters in Library & Info Science) two things I hated in retrospect about the English education I received was 1) there was not a single foundational/intro course about proper grammar-I guess it was just assumed we received that education in high school and 2) very very limited course options for learning how to write. So basically the entire four years was just reading a shit ton of novels 🙄
as in Creative Writing classes? otherwise that’s what English 100/101 is for.
I’m a Literature and a Linguistics student (in my mother tongue). We had Grammar classes as well and I realised that might didn’t appreciate them enough:D
OMG "Back when I was a gentleman"? On the floor cry-laughing. There are no emojis sufficient for that! Love to Professor Dad! ❤️
"blondie ---- shakes a pear" 💀 who wrote these
Also the “London Boy”💀
This was so fun and also usefull,both for his knowledge about Shakespeare and his advice about writing an essay. And as both a swiftie and a Comparative Literatures master student, I love the fact that he is a university professor and yet, when faced with really good lines from a pop songs, has no problem or shame in saying "Thats brillant". Thanks to him for that! We need more scholars who are not snobish and so they can appreciate the literary worth of good lyrics in pop songs. Thank you, professor, sooo much!
“I haven’t read that since I was a gentleman.” LMAO
I love this guy so much. More Professor Friedberg content please
My fav part of this delightful video is the stack of essays and the red pens at the ready!
So much fun, I'm a theater major and a swiftie so it's a treat. Your dad's the funnest!
"We like sheep" had be dying!
Love it! You should try making a homemade one or with CZcamss help anyway so he can't try and game theory it. We could submit lyrics to you for it and you could pick them out a hat along with quotes.
Your dad seems like such a gentle person. Thanks for sharing your time with us!
This guy is amazing, we need a whole video about English literature
great vid! as a swiftie myself i found some of these to be a toss up so u guys did a great job! 😊
Thank you for having your dad again, I am feeling very much under the weather and it really brought me comfort!
oh wow I've been thinking about the part 1 lately. This is great thank you!
guys i think his favorite evermore song is ivy
Are u an empath🤔??
I absolutely appreciate this! 😍😍😍
Happy new year Andy’s Dad! Great to see you back on the channel.
Gloucester is also a city in England in the county of Gloucestershire.
He is definitely a professor
this was really nice. i really enjoyed this hes so witty and charming
I refused using so many clauses/prepositions in one of my essays and just wrote short sentences. Afterwards the professor criticized me for writing like a middle school kid.
U can tell the one who made this quiz loves Ivy
loving “Mr. Zero Grammys”
“True love did never run smooth” seemed to affect your dad! Such a sweet spirit ❤
I think his favorite musical theater song is "God, I hate Shakespeare"
Okay now I love you guys so much already
Wow almost the entirety of "ivy" was in this
Happy New Year guys and welcome back Professor!
He has such a warm presence :)
its really amazing how the fact that these kinds of videos just shows how taylors lyrics are so poetic to the extent that people are trying to differentiate shakespeare's writings to taylor's lyrics. congrats swifties!!!!
I would love to see him give commentary on her songwriting on certain songs
Since you reference Ms. Swift as Blondie, you should reference bill as Baldie
Taylor has an extraordinarily large vocabulary and syllables to pull her lyrics from. Sometimes I need to look song lyrics up to understand what she is singing about.
He is just great!!
hehehe I have the same level of good guessing here with your dad because I know as much of Taylor's discography as Professor Friedberg's knowledge of Shakespearian poetry
I know pretty much all of Taylor’s lyrics so I did really well haha.
i love that he is happy saying the name of the ancient one! ☺️☺️☺️
Oh yay part 2! So fun to see father Friedberg back again.
It’s paint you blue
your dad reminds me of my grandfather- knowledgeable ,warm and really sweet
English profs always have the coolest glasses frames.
Your dad is the best 🤣🤣
geez you father is smart af
Boris Johnson says Churchill used to work with mostly short anglo-saxon words, putting aside French, Latin and Greek words.
This is adorable!
I've never really listened to Taylor Swift (I think I know three of her songs), but got 20 right because I really like Shakespeare.
Shake It Off, Blank Space, and You Belong With Me?
(Just a complete guess of which songs you might know)
Is it love story,look what you made me do and lover?
@@sunbearwithwrinklesonback I feel like they'd have to at least know Shake It Off. That song, while not nearly as big as it used to be, is pretty hard to forget, and was incredibly common in 2014-15.
@@craigmoon2121 true I just wanted the original commenter to have options😂
Is it 22, Blank Space, and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together?
He is sooo good
WHAT!! They knew of chameleons in Shakespeare’s time???
I'm glad he got atleast one wrong
Dad is really smart.
The quiz: All we are is skin and bone
Me: that's courage my love
I'm pretty sure "he didn't live with his family for 20 years" is pretty equivalent to he abandoned his family
Not if he's still providing support and sending money back home. Plenty of people today live apart from their families because of their jobs, but no one accuses them of abandoning their families.
@@thefairychild just sending money to your family is not being present in their lives you know its still abandoning
@@Black-Rose12 No, providing willing financial support isn't abandonment. Not having anything to do with your family is. It's possible the professor was being sarcastic, but unlikely since Shakespeare split his time between London and Stratford-Upon-Avon. So this goes back to what I said before that living apart from your family due to a job isn't abandonment.
Guy who abandoned his family 😂😂😂
This feels very bittersweet. My husband has been teaching Rhetoric-comp and literature for 16 years and is stepping away after this year because higher ed is struggling unfortunately. 😞
"We're finding many plays you hate today."
your dad, bitterly & looking off at the distance at 7:44: yeah.
Big swiftie and I've read Romeo and Juliet once or twice, and I'm hoping to get these right myself!!
Edit: got them all right. That was very easy.
Can you imagine sitting in front of fire or on porch and just talking with the man. I have grown around people who can't form a grammatically correct sentence. I yearn to sit with educated people . Specially those from humanities . And because am from political science background so the reality is too real, so i would like to escape it all and hear or Learn something from someone like him
Sheep giving as you like it energy
Oh my gosh this is a marriage of my two favorite things ever
Your dad heard wrong. The repetitive part is “all we like sheep” not “we like sheep” giving it a different meaning; i.e ., we who are like sheep.
Wes Alum '90 English major here -- woot
16/23 i'm proud
I was enjoying the video then the Shakira or something took me out :)))))
Seems he's easy to chat to
Omggg I recognize the stack of essays he's got to grade, all in mla style 👀
- English major
Me after Earth calls @2:28
I did a video on that too
I’ve also snuck out of Handel’s Messiah. 😅
But the we like sheep thing doesn’t seem weird when you know it’s from the Bible verse Isaiah 53:6.
Its funny cause theyre both saggitarius
Haha wholesome!
My humble request you to react Aadat Instrumental by Nescafé Basement.
Shakespeare iiiiiisss the devil y cervantes también 🥰🤣🥰🤣🥰
❤️❤️❤️❤️
he's so funny and cute!! go listen to midnights now
Someone has finally done it! Taylor swift is a legend comparable or more to Shakespeare.
help why did I think his advice for writing good sentences was “hella good verb”
So funny!
7:23 (and once earlier) My instincts scream that you're pronouncing "despite" wrong as an adjective so now i need to google it lol....
aaand Google says I'm wrong. Apparently "despite of" is just a complex preposition used much the same way as we use "despite" in modern English.
Hello!!
we like sheep!
I love queen Taylor ❤
I did QUITE well.
" I haven't read that since I was a gwntleman" I love the prof
Shakira or something 😂😂
I am so sure that father Friedberg performed wayyy better than Taylor or Shakespeare themseleves.
