I ask of thee, my friends and countrymen,
To lend your ears for this our ancient tale,
Which echoes from the lofty halls of Rome:
A plot to end a tyrant, doomed to fail.
We gather on these sacred Ides of March,
That we may better demonstrate the deeds
Of noble men who fell to civil strife –
For knew they not where killing Caesar leads.
Red and Blue shall play the part as writ,
The others hope to break us with their wit!
(To celebrate the Ides of March, we got some friends and performed Julius Caesar – all of it – with the sole goal that our very special guest stars would successfully break Red and Blue. They did. Hope someone’s keeping score!)
YON MOST NOBLE STOOGES:
Red – Marcus Antonius, General and friend of Caesar
Blue – Brutus, Leader of the conspiracy against Caesar

Cyan as a bedsheet ghost is the most normal thing about this video 😂
I can't wait for Romeo and Juliette, but Red is Romeo and Blue is Juliette.
I love this stuff!! I'm so glad this is a new reocurring thing!
I did this show last year and I could still recite all of Brutus’s lines!!!
Madlad who did Latin.
I am so thankful for the subtitles, so necessary. I did not have them on when Noir started blasting out Italian (or Latin? I couldn't tell) at Mach 1 and without them I would have been completely lost.
Edit: nevermind, for at least the part around Act I Scene 2, the timings of the subtitles do not remotely line up with the dialogue.
BLAHAJ
SHONK
Red acting her damn heart out is somehow the funniest next to the chaos of everything else
The binary scene killed me
Tim completely butchered my native language, but with such confidence that I simply cannot be mad.
Worst episode ever
1:57:30
Since when did Jester LaVorre get into Shakespeare?!?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Noir is a comedy *sniper*. "And you Brutus?" Never saw it coming
y'all are delightful.
Please also do Antony and Cleopatra sometime 😀 This is hilarious.
Hint: You are going to need some subtitles, not all of it is in English, but the subtitles give you the translation 🙂
I'm sick so laughing is hard, but you guys make it worth the pain.❤❤😂😂

With the trope of a terrible storm the night before Ceasar's assassination, I have suddenly imagined a terrible future wherein the only histories from before the Renaissance are the works of Shakespeare, and the historian community has this maddening debate over whether or not there used to actually be a storm the night of a major public figure's assassination.
I don't want to know what would have to happen for that to come to pass. But it's a simultaneously amusing and unsettling concept.
Blue: good catch on "Which we will miser with a little rest" – I'm watching with subtitles (thanks, Noir Ceasar) so I know the word that was there, but otherwise I would not have noticed the substitution.
As someone who has to read this play for school in the next couple days, this video couldn’t have better timing.
Indigo getting an accurate miss piggy puppet to play opposite a kermit puppet that didn't even show up is the funniest thing that has ever happened
Yeah! Great job everyone! I had an awesome time listening to this. Watching everyone try not to sound like zombies at a recital was fun. Also, another play marked off my "never read in school Summer Reading list" list"
As a classical latin student, this is a delightful test of my knowledge. Thank you
Yes! The return of the OSPlayers!
Love the character headings! Super helpful 😁
Laetissima sum audire aliquis latinum loquitur, tam rarum est! Noir usus est translationem? Unde aut quod?
WHERE'S MY THIRTY MINUTE PREAMBLE OF HISTORICAL CONTEXT!? I've been duped! Misled and hornswaggled!
