Well, there are also plays that do this sort of thing... for instance, "Shakespeare Abridged" and "All the Great Books". It's a good concept, and when done well...like it is here, and in the plays I've mentioned above... it's really, really funny and original.
There was a king sitting in his garden,
when his brother in his ear poured a vial full of hemling,
Stole his crown and his money and his widow,
But the dead king wafted down to haunt his son and said "Hey, kiddo,
I'm your father and it's your duty to avenge my death on Claudius,
Kill him quick and clean and tell the nation what a fraud he was."
The kid said "Well, I'll do it, but I'll have to play it crafty,
And so no one will suspect me I'll let on that I'm a dafty."
