In July 2021, YouTube set all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 to private (unless the channel owner had opted out). In the weeks leading up to this change, Archive Team archived many pre-2017 unlisted YouTube videos. If this video was uploaded before 2017 and has gone private, there is a chance that a 360p archived version can be viewed on archive.org via the site's Wayback Machine as follows: 1. Enter the YouTube URL in the Wayback Machine form or click on the following link: https://web.archive.org/web/20210000000000*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T9XCOQ9ybM 2. Right-click on a blue entry in July in the calendar. 3. Click 'Copy link address'. 4. Paste the copied link address into your web browser's address bar and press enter.
Description: My wife, as part of her Great Books class at Wright State University, was assigned the Shakespearean play, Much Ado About Nothing. I ended up reading it to her as we drove back from my parent's house from an Easter visit, complete with a horrid fake Cockney accent, and the thought that one scene in particular reminded me of nothing so much as a scene from Monty Python's The Quest for the Holy Grail, which in turn led her to think it reminded her of the Spanish Inquisition sketch. And oh, how we laughed, punch-drunk with fatigue and a long car ride. And then we ended up making a parody. Of a parody. Of a comedy sketch. Badly.
