SNL R&J Balcony Scene Satire

Briefly explain how Romeo and Juliet connects to the television game show, Family Feud?

One would normally think that someone who looks in their bedroom window ​ ​ (a)   .​

• is a creeper
• is looking for their lost hamster
• likes their aura
• trying to find new room decor ideas

What is the satirical effect of the actress mispronouncing the names Capulet ("Capsulet") and Montague (Mon'agoo)?

The actress says, "Then she say, you know, a lot o’ things. You know, all these things, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth."

As she is "summarizing" Juliet's lines, what human experience is being satirized?

• Difficulty understanding all of Shakespeare's long, wordy soliloquies and monologues

• Boredom with Shakespeare's simplistic language and writing style

• Excitement over meeting a new, attractive person

• Frustration over having to part ways with a new crush

The actress says, "But she can’t do that because Juliet is a very dignified girl, and hollerin’ off the back porch is very iginant."

What human experience does this satirize?

• The expectation that young people get married

• The expectations for young women to behave in a "ladylike" manner

• The expectation that a love interest should wait while you are kiki-ing with your friends.

• The expectation that you should not yell, especially at night (or during class)

The actress recites some of Juliet's lines, and then states, "I don't know what that part mean."

What does this satirize about the human experience?
