what is the funniest play Shakespear has writen?

Answer 1

"Much Ado About Nothing" mainly because of Beatrice and Benedick.

Answer 2

I wish I wrote this. It is definitely the funniest Shakespeare ever. Except he didn't write it:
The following is from the Washington Post contest, which asked readers to submit instructions for something - anything - in the style of a famous person.

The winning entry was The Hokey Pokey as writ by Wm. Shakespeare.

O proud left foot that ventures quick within,
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe;
Anon, once more the gesture; then begin:
Command sinistral pedestal to writhe.
Commence thou then the fervid Hokey Poke,
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from Heaven's yoke!
Blessed dervish! Surely, thou canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the Poke -- banish now all doubt;
Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.

Answer 3

Unquestionably "Comedy of Errors"....not because the story encircles around two sets of twins....but the elements of this only play by Shakespeare can be found even today. You simply cannot have Hamlets, Macbeths, Richards, Merchants of Venice, Othellows etc.. everyday......but what Shakespeare had given us in Comedy of Errors is something like funniest part of our lives. If you have got chance to see Hindi movie "Angoor" based on Comedy of Errors....you will have the laugh a minute situation of present day family dramas. Just try it.

Answer 4

The funniest play is NOT a Tragedy; it is NOT a Romance; and it is not a Comedy. The most hilarious play is, of course, a History play -- namely, The First Part of King Henry the Fourth. Here we meet the incomparable, the outrageous, the bawdy, the hilarious and the ultimately triumphant -- Falstaff.

If you have but one encounter with any Shakespearean character, then I say, let it be with Falstaff!

Answer 5

i admire the play Titus Andronicus. It has extremely image violence which I appreciate and the tale is spell binding, conserving me on the edge of my seat the entire time. it is a fictional artwork the place as a lot of Shakespeare's different works are according to historic characters. I wasn't very interested in Shakespeare till I observed and then study this play, yet this led me to be interested in and enjoy a lot of his different works

Answer 6

I know that the traditional answer would be Midsummer Night's Dream; It is down-to-earth. But I think that it is Hamlet for many reasons.
First, what's my job in revenge issue if the whole world today is against that. Second, we don't have time today for church think; every one has his right to be religious or not. third, the use of language. Actually the language of that play is great but it is funny too.

Answer 7

I have always enjoyed The Taming of the Shrew. But Mid-Summers Night Dream is great too.

Answer 8

Even the tragedies have some great one-liners and insults. But As You Like It and Much Ado about Nothings have some great comic scenes.

Answer 9

Good question, and very refreshing after seeing so many people here asking questions about inferior writers. Thank you! The answer is "A Midsummer Night's Dream." :)

Answer 10

IMO- Merchant of Venice

But MacBeth (which is not a comedy of course) has the really funny moment where the drunk guard gives a hilarious slurred speech.

Answer 11

Hamlet was HILARIOUS! Whoa! I get the giggles just thinking about it. Any play that starts out with a murder and funeral is bound to crack me up. (kidding)

Taming of the Shrew is pretty darn funny and sly, in my opinion..
