Did renaissance author's do post-ironic titling before it was cool?

>>14272945
Nobody except a few gay theater performers care about his comedies. Everyone else who likes Shakespeare likes him for his histories or dramas

>>14272956
Recs?

>>14273441
Nah, Much Ado About Nothing is one of his best.

>>14273445
He hasn't read Shakespeare if he's speaking so generally. You don't want his opinions as they're likely, at best, secondhand.

>>14272972
No the meaning of comedy went over your head.

Oh look, it's another "degenerate ESL retard posts about how he doesn't like Shakespeare" thread.

Kys faggot. It's not our fault that your mother didn't throw you in the nearest river when you were a baby.

>>14272945
Which of his plays did you find particularly unfunny?

This

Comedia / Comedy during the renaissance era meant any story where the outcome for the main characters was good. Basically a happy-end.

>he thinks a comedy is about making you laugh
I bet you nigger think a tragedy is about the characters being killed.

Actually Edward de vere wrote Shakespeare

I'd just like to interject for a moment. Wataru Shakizura, known to the West more commonly as William Shakespeare, was actually a 16th century feudal Japanese poet and archer responsible for most of the works credited to the latter's canon. Shakizura is thought to be buried, along with his original manuscripts in the Late Middle Japanese, beneath the Altar stone at the Church of the Holy Trinity, Stratford-upon-Avon, mere feet from his nom de plume's marked tomb.

Most of his great tragedies are filled with comedy. Romeo and Juliet is a romcom until Mercutio gets shanked. The fool in Lear, Hamlet’s insults, the porter and witches in his least comedic tragedy Macbeth, all sharpen the tragedy. His English history plays that created a heroic national mythos are filled with characters like Falstaff. He knew how to write comedy.

Shakespeare is oftentimes funny in a very dry way but it's not exclusive to tragic or comic works. For example Hamlet's interaction with the grave digger is a pretty fucking funny conversation if you really try to imagine it going down.
