Exactly What It Says On the Tin. William Shakespeare's Hamlet rewritten as a comedy, the second in a series of genre-flipped Shakespeare plays by Shrikecatcher.

Can be read here.

Tropes

  We all called [Polonius] Captain Obvious, because that was his last name and it's only polite to address him in such a manner.

 Polonius: "I will take a snapshot of this moment, upload it to the Internet and label it epic!"

Reynaldo: "No, my lord, anything but that!"
