Hilarious
Got for my son, he's already memorizing them to "insult" his gaming friends! They're hilarious

I used these in the classroom
My students are beginning the play, Romeo and Juliet. I often take snippets of language and provide the kids with access to the OED, annotated versions of the complete works of Shakespeare, and various other dictionaries and references, and challenge them to figure out what the quotes mean. However, packaging is important if you want to persuade teens. The playing cards seemed to add a more fun element, and persuade the students to look at the challenge as a game. It also helped me to differentiate the instruction invisibly by distributing cards of varying complexity to different students.One note for any other teacher who might try this strategy: A little less than half of the cards are inappropriate for this purpose. Be sure you know what the students will find when they open the text.

Not what I expected.
I was expecting more of the “too cunning to be understood” style insults, of which there are plenty. This is more of the mean spirited rather funny.

Great stocking stuffer playing cards
This is a fun set of playing cards with Shakespeare's insults written on them. The cards work well for playing but can add to the fun by reading the insults out loud. I gave them as stocking stuffers as well as keeping a set for my family. Lots of fun and a tad educational, too!

At least it won't last long
This fits perfectly in my bag! They're not the sturdiest cards (and sturdy is necessary with my family and friends). "Insults" also seems to mean "when someone was angry". Most of the "insults" are not insults at all. This might have been okay if it hadn't been missing some of mine and my brothers' favorite Shakespeare quotes ("You are not worthy of the dust on your face" and many "your mom" jokes). The art is well done!
