Shakespearean TV Trivia Quiz — BuzzFeed Quizzes
As much as I LOVE a period piece, when it came to reading Shakespeare, I often needed the Cliffs Notes to ensure I was understanding the plot correctly. You know that you're having a tough time when you think a touching, love-struck soliloquy is ACTUALLY a call to war.
But as much as Shakespearean prose can be difficult to parse, when it's used to describe our favourite TV shows...it becometh an intrigue most rare. So put on your garbs and berets, and let's see how well you can decipher these favourite TV shows.
Let me know in the comments what your favourite TV show is and how Shakespeare would describe the premise to an audience.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Kids Look So Grown Up in Rare Disneyland Video
Meghan Markle shared a montage of her family vacation to Disneyland in Anaheim, California. In the video, Markle could be seen enjoying rides and food with husband Prince Harry and kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Although Markle was careful to keep her kids' faces private, they are already looking so grown Markle and Prince Harry took their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, on a family trip to Disneyland—and the photos and videos could not be cuter. Markle shared a few glimpses into their family vacation with a montage set to Peggy Lee's 'It's a Good Day' on Instagram, writing, 'Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!' In the video montage, Markle and Harry take their kids on some of the most iconic Disneyland rides, including the Tiana's Bayou Adventure, Dumbo The Flying Elephant, Star Wars: Rise Of The Resistance, and the Cars Land ride. Lilibet also looked thrilled to meet Elsa from Frozen. Markle wore a pair of the iconic Minnie Mouse ears over a black cap, along with a casual white shirt and jeans, while Harry opted for a black polo shirt and a cap. Archie coordinated with his dad wearing a simple top and jeans, while Lilibet wore an array of cute sundresses and a sparkly blue cap. Although Markle blocked out her children's faces, the video showed that Lilibet's strawberry red hair is getting ultra long and wavy, while Archie's hair is still just as auburn as ever. And the two kids are already looking so grown up! Lilibet turned four on June 4, and the family's trip to Disneyland seemingly coordinated with the big day—she even got a giant Mickey Mouse with a 'Happy Birthday, Lili' badge and a Little Mermaid-themed cake. The trip comes 31 years after Harry visited Walt Disney World with his mother, the late Princess Diana, and his brother, Prince William. Markle's video of her family trip to Disneyland follows on the heels of another intimate glimpse into her life with Harry. In honor of Lilibet's birthday, she shared a hilarious video of the pair twerking in the delivery room before welcoming her four years ago. Read the original article on InStyle

Golden Retriever Puppy Sees Cows for the First Time and Her Reaction Is Priceless
Golden Retriever Puppy Sees Cows for the First Time and Her Reaction Is Priceless originally appeared on Parade Pets. When you're just a little baby pup exploring the world, everything is new and big and scary. Can you imagine what it must feel like to see other animals for the first time? Talk about a shock! Just ask Bambi, who recently met cows for the first time. The Golden Retriever puppy wasn't quite sure what to make of them, but while she figures it out, she needs a little support from her parents to get through this trying time. Bambi is cute as can be in the short video shared by @1jolly1, really living up to all things adorable puppy. The bittersweet clinging to the leg kind of makes your heart pitter-patter. The thought of her feeling so frightened by the sight she couldn't let go of Mom is too precious. I can understand her hesitation to investigate the cows any further. The "grass doggos" must look like gigantic, dangerous creatures who could snatch little Bambi up in an instant. She has no idea they'd likely lick her than ever think about hurting her, but that's part of being a puppy, learning how to exist!Usually, it's sister Puddin or brother Dozer as the stars of Dad's TikTok videos, so I'm sure Bambi is slightly embarrassed that of all the cute things she does, this is the one he posts! The cow interaction wasn't her finest moment but she's still a relatively new member of the family so there will be plenty of other chances to redeem her street cred. There are other clips of the young Golden that speak to who she really is when cows aren't involved. Maybe fame is a wild concept to a puppy but she became an instant star the day of her arrival. Thanks to Dozer and Puddin, Bambi got the debut treatment in a way only her creative dad could do. This is why the crew has amassed more than 5.8 million followers. Take a look at Bambi's special intro to the big scary world, because she's irresistible in the way only puppies are. Bonus: her new siblings fell in love with her instantly! One day, Bambi may realize cows are just large field friends. For now though, she'd really feel better hanging back to check out the vibes first, so leave her be. 🐶🐾🐾 Golden Retriever Puppy Sees Cows for the First Time and Her Reaction Is Priceless first appeared on Parade Pets on Jun 7, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jun 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

Nightmare Unfolds As Dogsitter Tries To Put Puppy to Bed: 'Help Me'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman who agreed to look after her sister's puppy never expected how chaotic the night would become. Roberta Burton, 56 and from Nottinghamshire in the U.K., recently spent time at her sister's home in Surrey after agreeing to look after her home and Maltipoo puppy, Paddy, while she was away. "Paddy has lots of energy," Burton told Newsweek of the 6-month-old pup. "When I say a lot of energy, I mean the zoomie type." "At 11 o'clock at night, I was absolutely shattered, and said, 'Right, Paddy, it's time for bed'," Burton added. "It had been a long day. But Paddy had other ideas; he thought it was play time, and thought it was a game." Zoomies, also known as the frenetic random activity period, is a way for dogs to release excess energy, and often happens at night, according to the American Kennel Club. It is completely normal behavior, particularly for puppies, who take plenty of naps throughout the day along with huge bursts of activity—which, unfortunately for Burton, happened to Paddy when she was trying to go to bed herself. In a video to her TikTok account @burtysblog on June 2, viewed over 413,000 times, Burton pleads with Paddy to get into bed. But the pup clearly isn't ready, as he's sprinting all around the room, jumping on the sofa and flying off again, so fast he comes across in the video as almost a blur. "As I tried to pick him up to put him in, he jumped over my hands," Burton told Newsweek, "jumping over me, under me, on top of me."

TikTok @burtysblog Burton tries her best to catch the pup, but it just adds to Paddy's fun, as he expertly dodges out of her grasp and in between her legs—even as she tries throwing a blanket over him to trap him. Burton resorts to getting on her knees and begging Paddy to relax and go to bed. At one point, Burton lies across a footrest in despair. And, adding insult to injury, Paddy then lies on the footrest beside her—only to sprint away again when she raises her head, leading Burton to plead: "Help me, Jesus." In the end, Burton gives up, and sits quietly on the floor trying to calm herself—and Paddy then jumps on her repeatedly, trying to get the game going again. "I'm not playing," Burton tells him, refusing at this point to even look at him. And in response, he gives out a high-pitched bark. The video ends with the battle finally won, as Burton approaches the camera with a finally tired-out Paddy in her arms. And she told Newsweek that it was all thanks to her 84-year-old father, who had been in the next room. Her dad walked in, said, "Don't be so dramatic," called Paddy a good boy, and had him in his crate asleep almost immediately. Left, Burton despairs as Paddy waits for the game to begin again, and right, the moment she captured the pup.

TikTok @burtysblog TikTok users were in stitches, with one commenting: "In the dog's defense, it does look like a really fun game." "This had me crying with laughter, I can't stop watching it," another posted, as a third wrote: "When I say I laughed I LAUGHED. Your sister owes you a spa weekend for this!" And one comment read: "I've watched this about 10 times, possibly the funniest thing on here." Burton told Newsweek her sister was also "crying with laughter" when she saw the video of Paddy's "shenanigans"—and told Burton, "Next time, give him cheese." "Why didn't you tell me that before?" Burton asked, awarding the pup the ultimate nickname: Paddy the baddie. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
