So fun! William Shakespeare being called London boy ☠️☠️☠️

oh you ARE a swiftie when you knew to correct 'pain' for "paint"

The fact that you can even do this quiz and have it be fairly tough shows just how incredible of a lyricist Taylor is

As a Swiftie who has a BA in English, this is the best thing ever!

“we like sheep” story had me in stitches 💀

"Have a good verb," "avoid prepositions," such good tips

"He didn't abandon his family. He just didn't live with them for 20 years or so." That was the best! I don't really listen to a lot of Taylor Swift, and I don't care for Shakespeare's plays (like his poetry, though). I still guessed about 85% of these right. This was fun!

please have him back on to give us essay/writing tips because i’ve definitely been using too many ‘that’ clauses 😭

Yes pls evermore needs more love🙏🏻

As someone with B.A. in English (and a Masters in Library & Info Science) two things I hated in retrospect about the English education I received was 1) there was not a single foundational/intro course about proper grammar-I guess it was just assumed we received that education in high school and 2) very very limited course options for learning how to write. So basically the entire four years was just reading a shit ton of novels 🙄

Ivy really is the best song on evermore TASTE

Honestly the tips at the end for writing an essay were amazing! He's so right, we do write for the test, not to actually write well. Please let him know it was great advice!

I just love your dad, him smiling, laughing and also educating me at the same time. You guys are very wholesome

OMG "Back when I was a gentleman"? On the floor cry-laughing. There are no emojis sufficient for that! Love to Professor Dad! ❤️

I love this guy so much. More Professor Friedberg content please

This was so fun and also usefull,both for his knowledge about Shakespeare and his advice about writing an essay. And as both a swiftie and a Comparative Literatures master student, I love the fact that he is a university professor and yet, when faced with really good lines from a pop songs, has no problem or shame in saying "Thats brillant". Thanks to him for that! We need more scholars who are not snobish and so they can appreciate the literary worth of good lyrics in pop songs. Thank you, professor, sooo much!

"We like sheep" had be dying!

guys i think his favorite evermore song is ivy

Love it! You should try making a homemade one or with KZreads help anyway so he can't try and game theory it. We could submit lyrics to you for it and you could pick them out a hat along with quotes.

U can tell the one who made this quiz loves Ivy

My fav part of this delightful video is the stack of essays and the red pens at the ready!

So much fun, I'm a theater major and a swiftie so it's a treat. Your dad's the funnest!

Your dad seems like such a gentle person. Thanks for sharing your time with us!

He is definitely a professor

This guy is amazing, we need a whole video about English literature

its really amazing how the fact that these kinds of videos just shows how taylors lyrics are so poetic to the extent that people are trying to differentiate shakespeare's writings to taylor's lyrics. congrats swifties!!!!

Thank you for having your dad again, I am feeling very much under the weather and it really brought me comfort!

oh wow I've been thinking about the part 1 lately. This is great thank you!

I refused using so many clauses/prepositions in one of my essays and just wrote short sentences. Afterwards the professor criticized me for writing like a middle school kid.

I absolutely appreciate this! 😍😍😍

loving “Mr. Zero Grammys”

this was really nice. i really enjoyed this hes so witty and charming

Happy new year Andy’s Dad! Great to see you back on the channel. Gloucester is also a city in England in the county of Gloucestershire.

great vid! as a swiftie myself i found some of these to be a toss up so u guys did a great job! 😊

Okay now I love you guys so much already

He has such a warm presence :)

I think his favorite musical theater song is "God, I hate Shakespeare"

“True love did never run smooth” seemed to affect your dad! Such a sweet spirit ❤

Oh yay part 2! So fun to see father Friedberg back again.

Happy New Year guys and welcome back Professor!

He is just great!!

i love that he is happy saying the name of the ancient one! ☺️☺️☺️

I would love to see him give commentary on her songwriting on certain songs

Since you reference Ms. Swift as Blondie, you should reference bill as Baldie

Your dad is the best 🤣🤣

English profs always have the coolest glasses frames.

Taylor has an extraordinarily large vocabulary and syllables to pull her lyrics from. Sometimes I need to look song lyrics up to understand what she is singing about.

your dad reminds me of my grandfather- knowledgeable ,warm and really sweet

hehehe I have the same level of good guessing here with your dad because I know as much of Taylor's discography as Professor Friedberg's knowledge of Shakespearian poetry

It’s paint you blue

I know pretty much all of Taylor’s lyrics so I did really well haha.

Wow almost the entirety of "ivy" was in this

geez you father is smart af

This is adorable! I've never really listened to Taylor Swift (I think I know three of her songs), but got 20 right because I really like Shakespeare.

@@Black-Rose12 No, providing willing financial support isn't abandonment. Not having anything to do with your family is. It's possible the professor was being sarcastic, but unlikely since Shakespeare split his time between London and Stratford-Upon-Avon. So this goes back to what I said before that living apart from your family due to a job isn't abandonment.

Dad is really smart.

Oh my gosh this is a marriage of my two favorite things ever

I'm glad he got atleast one wrong

WHAT!! They knew of chameleons in Shakespeare’s time???

Guy who abandoned his family 😂😂😂 This feels very bittersweet. My husband has been teaching Rhetoric-comp and literature for 16 years and is stepping away after this year because higher ed is struggling unfortunately. 😞

16/23 i'm proud

Big swiftie and I've read Romeo and Juliet once or twice, and I'm hoping to get these right myself!! Edit: got them all right. That was very easy.

Can you imagine sitting in front of fire or on porch and just talking with the man. I have grown around people who can't form a grammatically correct sentence. I yearn to sit with educated people . Specially those from humanities . And because am from political science background so the reality is too real, so i would like to escape it all and hear or Learn something from someone like him

Your dad heard wrong. The repetitive part is “all we like sheep” not “we like sheep” giving it a different meaning; i.e ., we who are like sheep.

I’ve also snuck out of Handel’s Messiah. 😅 But the we like sheep thing doesn’t seem weird when you know it’s from the Bible verse Isaiah 53:6.
