Avenged! Give me that, there's an end to his thinking
Will he be able to orientate himself?
I'll orientate him

The greatest speech in modern theatre
Hello all other IB lit students who are reviewing this scene.
+lostfan10000 what about us gr12 drama kids that have to perform it
What about us Grade 12 drama kids in IB lit who are reviewing this scene and performing it?
Hello gr12 people reviewing this scene!
Actually though my reflection existentialism in Waiting for Godot is due tomorrow and I haven't read a page of this damn play
lostfan10000 just reading for a paper on Absurdism.
Anyone else stunmed by this brilliant performance?
Such a good performance. I had to read it in class today. I really admire him for remembering it so well.
One of my favourite plays.
It was in Lucky that the spirits of YTP were born, and through his randomly patched-together philosophy that YTP was nourished, and soon it became aware and alive on the internet
+Ironsnake345ify .......SMH, and no.....Gtfo YTP and your wishy washy poop cream!
I'm performing this in 12 hours....sweet jesus
how did it go
quaquaquaqua
Absurdity
He has my vote because he makes more sense then anybody that we have in our congress.
He really does!!
This is my darkness. At least we got each other. Hate, I cant even hate right. Suffering, that is the key. I shall learn how to hate through suffering, which will lead me to pity and from pity i will find my way to love.
a wonderful thing about Beckett's drama is how widely varied the actors' interpretations can be, since the playwright gives them so little.
in high school I memorized three Hamlet soliloquies. unimaginable now. could I remember even the first 50 words of this?
"personal God...loves us dearly with some exceptions for reasons unknown but time will tell..."
I like the way he did this speech...he maintained the rhythm of the scene - an intention of absurdist theatre. I've seen it done more dramatically before, but when done that way, it breaks up the almost singing quality to it.
The allegory of a piece is not only for the artist to make, but the viewers of the piece to make.
And this still makes more sense than Dianetics
it is amazing how you can understand every word he says, but not the meaning of it all
The guy should have won an oscar for that
They should never have let him near a hat
All I can think whenever I am sitting waiting for a play to end so I can go home and have a drink is: "Well, at least THEY seem to be enjoying themselves up there."
the most difficult speech in my estimation but maybe my most rewarding performance.
I saw this this weekend performed by the Shakespeare Theatre in Cinncinati. Lucky fired this off like a machine gun. The effect was striking. Different interpretations...but I like this performance as well.
"Hey dude, what's the wifi password?"0:25-
It is the best video I have ever seen
The lament started out so sweet, but soon turned in to a everlasting torment.
I'm in the same situation. Day after tomorrow, actually. Memorizing this has been ridiculous.
I say GODDAMN. Ive watched this at least fifteen times and I think I'm just now starting to get it...I hope.
Quaquaquaqua...
In spite of the tennis!
THIS IS MY NEW FAVOURITE THING
I resume for reasons unknown.
got half of it memorized but can't even come close to delivering it like this
LITTLE KNOWN FACT FOR YOU ALL. In the Jay and Silent Bob movie. The writer says he based Bluntman and Chronic on a combination of Vladamere + Estragon and Rosencrantz + Guildenstern. True story.
Puncher and Wattmann!
If I had to summarize this speech, it's basically that all men die no matter what they do, and that nothing changes for the worse or better at the end of it all.
Edit: Also, tthe reasons for this fact is unknown. Pretty morbid speech.
+Prince Mittens That is way off.
+Prince Mittens Terrible summary, and your critical thought is miserable!
Hey, at least he's been forced to try it by some teacher, probably.
+mrtoolegittoquit2
Hm.. I won't profess to necessarily know what the speech is about. I don't know if there's any 'true' interpretation that exists per se, given what we know of Lucky's Speech and how it simply rambles on despite being so completely defunct of closure, which, in many cases, could lead to different thoughts as to what he is talking about or what Samuel Beckett was thinking when he made that speech in that cramped form namely concurrently simultaneously what is more for reasons unknown no matter what matter the facts aren't really there but time will tell.
Ok I'm done. Let me just.. fade away for a bit.
+Odr Loddfafnir
Mind if I take another stab? Tell me if I'm right. ^-^
Given a God and a bunch of other factors, despite the existence of certain things and elements....
Stuff. o- o
I would always be tempted to just improvise and drop "in spite of the tennis" and "the skull connemara" in at key points.
Did it once... Nothing happened...
I am currently attempting to memorize this whole thing in under two hours for my theatre final. Wish me luck!
how much time does it take, i wonder, to learn this monologue by heart..
im definitely gonna try it
How did it go?
I guess since no one stoped him, hes still probabaly going to this day
For me, it took a few days. I listened to this recordung over and over until I got it all down.
@@Junius what a useful thing to have at your disposal. I can imavine the fun you have had with it.
There is logic in the speech, not much, but it's in there.
i jst prepared dis monologue 4 my show on monday.. it waz damn difficult but now i can impress any1..
I want this to be my last words
Best version ever
'Godot' means 'forever' in Gaelic.
well like it's not really it's "go deo"
Avenged!
iggy azalea is that u?
This truly shows the true nature of absurdism. Truly brilliant. Crazy and insane but truly brilliant.
Ive gotta have it ready in less than a week for my yr 11 drama assessment.
Not a chance...
I was Estragon last spring, it was brutal but rewarding.
What a bitch in must be to try to remember this, definitely one of the hardest speeches you would ever have to perform. This guys is awesome though!
I am not sure whether or not to feel bad for Lucky.
@tatehegstrom1994
it's about God and how he feels anger when his creation goes to else but paradoxically, he doesn't hep them because of their sins
It's a contrast of life and death
It's about the death of the earth because of human beings
there is much more in addition to that though
There is an end to his thinking!!
I want to make this new audition monologue, could you imagine?
I agree, yeah, it had a different feeling when I read it.
got three weeks to remember this, and then pretty much picked up and slammed onto the floor, yep great fun.
Really good work with this Honey Bunny!
Where can I find this whole movie? I know it is a play, but this looks like it is professionally done. I didn't know there were any movie versions of this play.
Best. Monologue. Ever.
LUCKY:
Given the existence as uttered forth in the public works of Puncher and
Wattmann of a personal God quaquaquaqua with white beard
quaquaquaqua outside time without extension who from the heights of
divine apathia divine athambia divine aphasia loves us dearly with some
exceptions for reasons unknown but time will tell and suffers like the
divine Miranda with those who for reasons unknown but time will tell are
plunged in torment plunged in fire whose fire flames if that continues and
who can doubt it will fire the firmament that is to say blast hell to heaven
so blue still and calm so calm with a calm which even though intermittent
is better than nothing but not so fast and considering what is more that as a
result of the labors left unfinished crowned by the Acacacacademy of
Anthropopopometry of Essy-in-Possy of Testew and Cunard it is
established beyond all doubt all other doubt than that which clings to the
labors of men that as a result of the labors unfinished of Testew and
Cunnard it is established as hereinafter but not so fast for reasons
unknown that as a result of the public works of Puncher and Wattmann it
is established beyond all doubt that in view of the labors of Fartov and
Belcher left unfinished for reasons unknown of Testew and Cunard left
unfinished it is established what many deny that man in Possy of Testew
and Cunard that man in Essy that man in short that man in brief in spite of
the strides of alimentation and defecation wastes and pines wastes and
pines and concurrently simultaneously what is more for reasons unknown
in spite of the strides of physical culture the practice of sports such as
tennis football running cycling swimming flying floating riding gliding
conating camogie skating tennis of all kinds dying flying sports of all sorts
autumn summer winter winter tennis of all kinds hockey of all sorts
penicillin and succedanea in a word I resume flying gliding golf over nine
and eighteen holes tennis of all sorts in a word for reasons unknown in
Feckham Peckham Fulham Clapham namely concurrently simultaneously
what is more for reasons unknown but time will tell fades away I resume
Fulham Clapham in a word the dead loss per head since the death of
Bishop Berkeley being to the tune of one inch four ounce per head
approximately by and large more or less to the nearest decimal good
measure round figures stark naked in the stockinged feet in Connemara in
a word for reasons unknown no matter what matter the facts are there and
considering what is more much more grave that in the light of the labors
lost of Steinweg and Peterman it appears what is more much more grave
that in the light the light the light of the labors lost of Steinweg and
Peterman that in the plains in the mountains by the seas by the rivers
running water running fire the air is the same and then the earth namely
the air and then the earth in the great cold the great dark the air and the
earth abode of stones in the great cold alas alas in the year of their Lord
six hundred and something the air the earth the sea the earth abode of
stones in the great deeps the great cold on sea on land and in the air I
resume for reasons unknown in spite of the tennis the facts are there but
time will tell I resume alas alas on on in short in fine on on abode of
stones who can doubt it I resume but not so fast I resume the skull fading
fading fading and concurrently simultaneously what is more for reasons
unknown in spite of the tennis on on the beard the flames the tears the
stones so blue so calm alas alas on on the skull the skull the skull the skull
in Connemara in spite of the tennis the labors abandoned left unfinished
graver still abode of stones in a word I resume alas alas abandoned
unfinished the skull the skull in Connemara in spite of the tennis the skull
alas the stones Cunard (mêlée, final vociferations)
. . . tennis . . . the stones . . . so calm . . . Cunard . . . unfinished . . .
POZZO:
His hat!
Vladimir seizes Lucky's hat. Silence of Lucky. He falls. Silence. Panting of the
victors.
ESTRAGON:
Avenged!
Pay attention, kids; all of this, for reasons unknown, will be on the test.
gotta learn this for my drama A level. I'm in for something way out of my depth!
@imskilled94
this monologue actually has some meaning
... and of course. an author doesn't have the last word on how a work is perceived ... the audience has a part in determining that too ... once it's out there, sometimes an authors intention can be almost incidental .. that is part of the reasons I don't take seriously the way in which the guardians of the Beckett estate try to dictate how the works must be performed ... an exercise in futility, ultimately.
Best play ever.
So that is how you will be like if you witness an eldritch horror...
I actually stated exactly what you've said in another comment. I am well aware of this, but I just thought I would bring up that Beckett did not intend for this message.
Lucky is interpreted by Stephen Brennan.
Read Vladmir's speech in the 2nd act, it's the main theme for the entire play.
@rlathbury ...Actually "shrink and dwindle" is in the original text. O:) I'd not heard of "At Swim-Two-Birds", that looks really interesting.
such is life
holy shit! and i need to learn this!

@jhniscolV2 "If by Godot I had meant God I would have said God, and not Godot." - Samuel Beckett
It's one of the most illusive plays of all time for a reason buddy; nobody has yet to make a definite conclusion as to what it means so don't pretend as if you do.
Buy the play.
If rime be the metre of life, what makes rhythm? the substance.
quaquaquaqua
I just read this for my summer reading in AP Lit and I am so confused...
The play is French, God in French is Deus. He also stated himself that it isn't about waiting for God, but he could just be a jerk.
Learning this feels impossible...I'm screwed >.
I would love to be an actor so I could play Lucky.
@HappyBuddhazz99 Might i then recommend "Waiting for Elmo"
The Wikipedia article on Waiting for Godot has several citations on him saying Godot was not at all meant to refer to God. It was just a coincidence that at the point of publication became unavoidable.
I don't have access to the things cited, of course, so I can't comment on the validity.
@homerrulezzzz Here's a man who wants to go out in a Blaze of Glory
Holy cow!
That would be a water-tight argument if Beckett were incapable of making a multi-lingual pun ... which he isn't ... and I wouldn't take anything he said to an artsy-fartsy journalist too seriously ... he was a michievous old sod ... so, the question remains open.
I can only analyze the first part and nothing else after that lol. Its so hard.
@strangereffect
I never said Godot him/herself meant god. I'm referring to solely the monologue of Lucky
It speaks heavily of the bible and a sympathetic god who looks highly upon its creations and feels sorrow for having to banish them to hell for their wrong doing (personal god with a white beard...who from the heights of divine apathia... loves us dearly...and suffers for those who are...plunged into torment, plunged into fire) (the ...s are Lucky's additional reasons unknown line and such
This sounds familiar, somehow. Like the stuff I would read off the shared printer at a liberal arts college. Correct-ish English, with appropriate academic references, but making not the slightest bit of sense.
Anybody else memorize this?
i feast. I am bread for the lord. and meat at the lords table is scuffed? i am bread from the lord, then so, if so facto, abolation, so it was that the soul was disected, can you imagine being divinely born? from the creator?
@jhniscolV2 Oh fair enough. Sorry it seemed as though you were referring to the entire play (probably the way your comment was placed in the feed). I also thought you were referring to the meaning behind this part of the text, which I don't think is specifically about God at all (even if there are biblical references). But I see what you mean :)
I have no idea what this monologue is supposed to mean. Is the lack of cohesiveness what makes it absurd?
rip ib english students
My goodness! o_O
"QUAW QUAW QAUW"
@13themuse So, did you nail it yet?
Sounds legit.
In vic teus, dom di a nee um.
im doing this monologue for my boards :)
@Katydid1322 - it has been a year... got it yet?
I think it's Stephen Brennan.
what does it mean?

@DrClay999
Yes :) It was exhausting.
