Hamlet gets referenced more than any classic work not named The Bible. If you don’t want to look like an idiot, you better study your Thug Notes.

In an embarrassing admission, I was in a modern interpretation of Hamlet when I was in 7th grade. I played the part of Fortinbras, who in our rendition was a cool Norwegian surfer dude.
