When Are You Arriving Shakespeare

when are u arriving Verily, I am upon my journey forthwith, making haste towards my destination with all due diligence and resolve. the hell Dear friend, pray tell, what manner of confusion hath befallen us? By the stars above, I am confounded beyond measure. u ok bro By the saints! What sorcery is this? I am utterly confounded by the peculiarity of this situation! ? .. Silence! restrain thy tongue, for its ceaseless chatter doth disturb the tranquility of this sacred space. uhm.

A WhatsApp chat shows someone replying to “when are u arriving” in increasingly elaborate, archaic Shakespearean language while the other person becomes confused and answers with “the hell,” “u ok bro,” punctuation, and “uhm.” The absurdly grand messages are paired with The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71A: March by the London Festival Orchestra, whose dramatic classical march makes the sender’s ordinary travel update feel hilariously ceremonial and epic. This is a reaction meme for over-formal texting, needlessly ornate language, or acting grandiose in a casual conversation.
