Animaniacs Language Satire

In analyzing Shakespeare, the biggest obstacle for me has always been the language. I guess many people can agree, or at least children and adolescence, since a satire on Shakespearean dialogue was included in an episode of Animaniacs - a cartoon show I watched as I kid. It’s funny how I never [consciously] picked up on the cleverness of the show, but looking back I can fully understand it.
