- video inspired by Andrew Friedberg: • Is it SWIFT or SHAKESP... -- although now that I've watched his video I realised I actually took a different quiz!

I really want Jack to do one of these "Fanfiction or Classic Literature" uquizzes! Would be super interesting and fun to see...
**thinks it’s from some classic book written 400 years ago by someone who dedicated their life to writing**
**is from destiel smut written by a 19 year old in pajamas**
@@themoistfeltlipsofsatanasamupp Right?? It's so much harder than you would think 😭
The fact that, there are some hidden gems in ff world which r way better than most of the modern physically published book, has me squeezing..i mean I'm a fan of classics bt there ARE some really good ffs which have the ability to surpass real books- as a reader i love both-
omg i'm 100% doing that
Need this!!!
i got a hundred percent on this quiz just because i know almost every tswift lyric.....they told me i was a shakespearean scholar but that is so false lmaooo
Swiftian scholar
Same 😂
lol same i've never read Shakespeare in my life but I could just tell which ones weren't hers.
ASameeee
same
“Shakira or something” “ancient person” “guy who abandoned his family”
LMAOOO these have me dying 😭😭😭
Only a swiftie can think of things like these
"London boy" too 😭😭😭
I'm not even mad they compare Taylor's lyrics to Shakespeare, I'm just mad the people who made this quiz disrespected Shakespeare this much 😂
@@linanafie8571 im sure he wont care ☺️
@@sophie........... I'm sure you'd be happy that people show that much respect to your dear Taylor Swift in the future when she dies! ☺️
also shakes a pear 🍐 😂😂😂😂
as an english major who loves taylor, this is the best video i have ever watched 😭
Jack made a video of every literary reference in folklore and evermore, I think you'll like it
@@swaraapednekar8176 omg?? thank you for the rec 🤭
I loved this video and am so glad I got everything right lol
realll
Jack will try every way to threaten the worthiness of his degree and we love to see it
such an underrated comment 😌⬆️
And his desire to get “extra credit” for each Q is great 😊
The DISRESPECT that they did for Shakespeare’s name every time lol
“Guy who abandoned his family” made me laugh so hard.
When you said "what would William Shakespeare's fan club be called" after saying "swifties"... I said "Willies" cause my brain is on 2% right now (I've been writing midterm papers all week)
same but i don't see why you say your brain isn't working bc of it! seems legit
💀💀💀💀 please this had me rolling
imagine someone saying...
*i'm a willie* ahaha-
or shakies lol
How about Willy's Romeo and Willy’s Juliet?
The fact that Taylor can even be compared to Shakespeare… I love her. 😂
Edit: Don’t go into the replies unless you want to witness a war.
Edit 2: children, I’m three seconds away from deleting this comment if you don’t stop fighting. 😂
Same 😂
@@tuqaridha4821 because she also writes things like 'ivy' and 'cardigan' and 'all too well ten minute version'
@@tuqaridha4821 but she does write incredibly written songs and it's degrading of you to say that she just writes cliche pop songs.
Literary genius does not have to be complex or involve elitist grammar, syntax and lexicon in order to be good.
For instance, “Tell me, what are my words worth”, could be from a song or a play and the way they are written, both lyrically and in iambic pentameter (considering Shakespeare has created many of the words we speak in English today and has his own lyrical rhythm, which can be taken for song, within iambic pentameter).
@@tuqaridha4821 it seems to me like you only heard of her mainstream songs in the recent years and never stopped to listen to her other songs. you say she writes cliche pop songs but this woman didn't even make her debut as a pop artist. pop isn't her main theme either. she is an artist who tries different genres. just bc you only heard of her pop songs doesn't mean that's all there is to her music. go actually listen to her songs, then come here and talk trash.
Add taylor swift and jack edwards to any scenario and it instantly becomes my favorite dream
The names they called Shakespeare had me dying 💀 "guy who abandoned his family " and "Shakira or something" were my favs
Please consider doing an analysis of the song "Carolina" by Taylor Swift, based on the book "Where the Crawdads Sing". If you haven't read the book already, it would be a fun idea to share your thoughts about the song before and after reading the book. We all know by now that Taylor is an amazing lyricist but listening to that song after finishing the book blew my mind! It's pure genius! I've never wanted a video to exist so badly!
exactly! i think he has read that. he recommended it to us.
PLEASE JACK DO THIS 🚨
i luvvv that ideaaaa
Considering the author is involved in a murder case and is a massive white saviour, I can see Jack wanting to steer clear of that book
I hope he doesn’t read problematic books
"Let me wipe it first, it smells of mortality" sounds like a line from the reputation album 😂🖤
that lyric firs in rep but it would be soooo funny
Counting the days until Taylor Swift gets a Nobel prize for literature.
@Todor oh no what a crime it’s not like people change their beliefs or discover themselves or something
@Todor excuse me but did the twin flame bruise paint you blue or something?
@@ChrisEvans.He needs to calm down
@Todor why you mad when you could be glad?
@Todor sleeping around is not a crime. changing faiths is not a crime.
I always thought Taylor Swift Stans (including myself) were peppy and cute. I didn’t realise that along with these qualities, we’d all be big readers too.
don't forget, we swifties are FBI level spies too
@@ishikasingh5909 Omg yes. I mean, the observations.
dude you are everywhere 💀
We’re a whole different breed it’s fine 😭
and London boy was also so clever hahahaha xD
the way jack read “ i want spirit to enforce “ as a part of “ look what u made me do “ 😭😂
gave me second hand embarrassement 😭
IKRKRRR😂😂😂
My college professor literally used “We are never getting back together” to explain Beatrice in “Much Ado About Nothing.” We spent a class pulling up music vids that fit different characters or situations. He was kind of amazing.
Yet another opportunity for Jack Edwards to flex his literature degree... not complaining, I think it's pretty LIT 😉🔥
love that I got 100% simply because I know every Taylor Swift lyric 😂
some of these were HAARD!! I thought everyone called Taylor Shakespeare just because she writes well, but I kinda feel like some of the writing has similar vibes - like upholding elegance, grace, and something to do with smooth polished almonds
As an English major, I must say that this should be in our syllabus 😜
i love how for every question he goes for extra credit
“That’s a bold assumption” made me think of David from Schitt’s Creek SO FAST.
The way I would ace this challenge not because I know Shakespeare but because my brain has been so brainwashed with Taylor Swift lyrics that I can recognize them in a heartbeat lol
0:29 the lil chuckle after "this is me trying" 🤣🤣🤣 there are truly just so many ways to casually drop swift lyrics/song titles in conversation!
so we’re just gonna not talk abt “guy who abandoned his family”
also "london boy" cause that was--
"Shakira or something" had me rolling
LONDON BOy was sooo clever lmfao. and shakira had me actually laughing
Tradition has it that Shakespeare left his wife, Anne Hathaway, and his three children in the care of his parents at Stratford, and he journeyed on foot ninety miles to Londontown, center of the Enlgish Renaissance and home to her first theaters
i played this with my mom and she didn't answer a single one bc she didn't want to say a swift quote was a shakespeare quote and admit that taylor is actually a good lyricist 🤪
dmn thats kinda sad :/ why doesn’t she want to admit shes good? May you should ask her :). Sometimes people need to overcome the tragic things we are all taught as women growing up. I think one day she may even like taytay
@@farahwork2552 oh haha i just play taylor too much when we're together so she got annoyed LOL she thinks that every song sounds like 22 or me!
As an English major- I admire you for taking this one step further and trying to guess the shakespeare works and taylor swift song titles
OH MY GOD JACK I made this quiz for my English high school project!! Love to see it here ahhhh! Love you and taylor sm
YOU ARE A BRILLIANT HUMAN
Masterpiece honestly.
YOU AND YOUR PROJECT AND YOUR CREATIVITY IM IN LOVE WITH YOUR BRAIN
WOAH tell me you got an A
UR SO BRILLIANT LIKE KSJDKA IM SO HAPPY FOR UUU
Jack: gonna take this quiz to see if my literature degree was worth it
Also Jack: bases 90% of his decisions on how well he knows Taylor Swift's lyrics
"What would Shakespeare's fandom name be?"
Funny how my mind immediately jumped to "Willies"
✨The MilkShakes✨
😻willie shakers😻
a true swiftie!!! and also a Shakespearie? Shakespearator? Shakespearlover? Shakespearnatic?
a milkshake
A pear shaker
a shakie 💀💅
im sorry but ever time you say "Jane eyre", against my will I automatically finish that with "laid bare"
8:51 “That’s a bold assumption.” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 How is it I laugh so hard at your videos every single time? Hahaha
I love at the beginning it’s like oh just a BuzzFeed quiz and after you were like this is life or death
this just proves again that Taylor could write Romeo and Juliet, but Shakespeare couldn’t write the bridge of all to well or DBATC hahaha
Always easy to cherrypick people's best writing.
She's a great lyricist, you don't need to pretend that she's on shakespeare's level to appreciate that
@@rwt2320 and romeo and juliet wouldn’t be one of shakespeare’s best writings? if you don’t know enough about what a great lyricist taylor swift is, you can ask NYU why they thought she was worthy of a honorary doctorate for fine arts
@@username-pb9ui I was referring to the quiz in the video. I'm not trying to downplay Swift in any way, she's a fantastic lyricist. She's just not Shakespeare, and that's fine cause it's an insane bar to set anyway
Darling it's a joke, chill
I feel like Jack was flexing his Taylor Swift knowledge more than his literature degree 😂
OK, but for those of us who aren't Swifties, what did you order for dinner? 😂
pad thai!
I got all right. Not because I have read Shakespeare, but because I instantly know if its a lyric from blondie
I loved this. You were in your element!
the highlight of the video is jack adding singing shakespeare as if its from look what you made me do...like wow u need to feature on reputation (taylor's version)
Jack Edwards putting his English Degree to the test. We love to see it!
P.S. Happy Birthday! I was dealing with my thesis and your channel helped me out. Since then, I love your channel and I’m a fan of ALL KINDS OF WORDPLAY that you make. I hope you have a great day and a great year ahead!
Love when you do book review videos. And this? This is so awesome. Love the vibe. I wish Taylor could watch this video...
Just goes to show that folklore and evermore are the albums with the most poetic lyrics, and that's why I love them😩
This made me laugh so much thanks Jack!! It was when you started singing the tempest quote to look what you made me do for me hahaha
I love this video so much! Please do more videos on classics.
This video made me so happy omg love the taylor content
Jack is such a king! Love how happy he is
I'm a Swiftie like a hardcore Swiftie, Taylor Swift runs in my veins and I pretty much answered all the questions correctly 😂😂
Feeling proud ❤️😂
It’s really doing it for me that you could easily say what song they were from but not where the Shakespeare quotes came from 😂😂😂
I have said it to pretty much everyone.
Taylor Swift is the greatest poet of our generation.
Maybe, but there are still songwriters alive who far surpass her in terms of lyricism
@@jellyjohn7881Kanye Omari West.
@DZY8733 I was talking more Bob Dylan, but yeah
ITS 4 AM WHERE I'M FROM IN EUROPE AND I WAS LIKE "WHAT IS JACK DOING UP AT THESE HOURS" and then it hit me ur a nyc girlie now 💀💀
The dude's making good use of his degree.
"Shakespeare could never" has me rolling on the floor😂😂😂
Yay!! So excited ❤
What a grand video SO FUNN. It would actually be really cool if you concluded with a clip of your food from the doordash delivery to give it that full story moment (altho ik this channel is really informal) either way love your videos king
OMG MORE OF THESE PLS I LAUGHED SO HARDD
ur energy is immaculate in this video
I haven't even read any of Shakespeare's plays but I listen to Taylor non-stop so I got all of these right
“That’s a bold assumption” made me laugh so hard
You got me so nervous throughout the whole video, rooting for you “will he get all right? He has too!”
So glad with the results 🙌
I love this video!!!❤🎉
The content we deserve!!! ❤️❤️✌️
uploading this at 11pm in the midwest you absolute mad man
almost midnight mayhem
Only 12 /23 ...I have obviously underestimated Ms Swift !
Always love Jack's genius puns
this totally blessed my morning 😂❤
Been marathoning Jack all day whooo
This is what I needed today
OMG OMG, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FOUND ANDREW'S VIDEO! I have been both of your fans for so long, it's like my two worlds are colliding! His father is absolutely adorable!
how do I explain how much I adore this human?
im a casual taylor fan but after this omg why are her lyrics so beautiful ahhhh I need to start listening to more of her songs now
Jack! Will you do a listening reaction to the “MIDNIGHTS” album? I would love to see your reaction to her song writing live on a first listen through! ❤🙏🏼
Oooo yayyy Jack 23/23...loved the celebratory dance there!
love you never stop what you are doing
Thank you Jack for getting my brain to wake up on this fine cold arse morning in Britain and to be prepared for a study session of all of my notes so far from my lectures because damn my handwriting in like Doctor's notes (at least I'm studying nursing, so i'm the right zone) 😆😅
not jack saying my name 4:43 💅and then mutliple times after wtf that tripped me out bahahah
dude 🎉 you're a REAL big fan 👏🏻
36 seconds in and Jack's made so many references 🥺
This was so fun to watch
Hi! Just wanted to say being a swiftie myself, this video was a lot of fun to watch! Thank you!
Also ur user name just reminded me of "Jack in the box", an album by J-HOPE of BTS, also suddenly I felt like you would've liked this album, since it has such an unique story to share in an unique way and since it's YOU.
for someone who missed the evermore train, i am so intrigued to listen to ivy now. Wtf are those crazy deep lyrics, literally wouldve guessed shakespeare in any of those
Auroras and sad prose from the lakes too you should have gotten that one!! This was so entertaining 😂💓
Same score as you!! Ah proud Swiftie 🥺
Did one on buzz feed and got 10/10- also a lit student and a Swiftie- this is the perfect game for me!
I did the quiz before watching the video. I've only considered myself a Swiftie for 2.5 years and I had British literature classes at uni 5 years ago and I scored 100% at this. I think it's enough to know one or the other's work to be able to score 100% on this.
They way you sang “I want spirits to enforce” at the beat of “Look What You Made Me You” was everything! 😂👌🏻
Not me getting all of the t swizzle lyrics AND songs, and only missing like two Shakespeare plays
This is actually amazing.
Every damn question! My god Jack! I am baffled how you could get all 23 correct just in time for your door dash!!!!!
I have a Literature major and I am a Taylor Swift fan. Loved this!
my form tutor who’s an english teacher loves using this quiz at the beginning of teaching any shakespeare works
This was so entertaining omg
Jack! I got to trinity and I’m so excited to see you speak at the Phil ❤️
i can't wait !!!!
@@jack_in_the_books gonna wear a hat that says slay me jack, hope it makes u laugh
I think this would work better for someone who doesn't listen to Taylor and doesn't really know (the lyrics to) less popular songs. I'm for sure going to make my fiancé take this test tonight! He listens along when I have Tay on sometimes but I'm pretty sure he won't know any of these lyrics so I'm super curious lol
"this is me trying" pun was so smart 🤓. One of my fav songs
Jack is really doing the Lord’s work with this video
Best 9 minutes, ever :)
This made me want to get into Taylor Swift's lyrics, now !
Safe to say Jack will be securing tour tickets😹
they should make you do this quiz when assigning tickets hahaha
You got me laughing "I want auroras and sad prose." When prior to that you correctly answered another line from the same song "The Lakes."🤣
