People forget that Shakespeare was the Jerry Springer of his day; low-brow humor written for the commoners and not the nobility: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/the-rub
@JSCybersec I like to point out that things don't have to be "high class" (whatever that means) to be beautiful, hold valuable truths, or to convey a meaningful message.
You can make something beautiful and still have fart jokes.
@Blenster Oh I get that for sure :). I just pity the future children who will end up studying our current state for their high school curriculum. As I imagine it will be a dry and arduous as what we've made Shakespeare into.
@Blenster Thankfully they didn't force me to study Jerry Springer in high school english lit.
