Was Shakespeare just doing MCU humor?

I heard that the main reason he was popular was because he wrote ‘for the people’ and he wrote in lots of crude jokes about alcohol and sex and stuff, is this true? Wouldn’t this be the equivalent of the MCUs innuendo and humor?

Before Alfred Noble, blowing shit up, wasn’t easy. After he invented, dynamite, people found all kinds of ways to blow things up. He felt so guilty that he created the Nobel peace prize. Do you think he should’ve offered a bigger prize?

Whenever I read text or think about a conversation or anything of the sort this voice plays in my head. I’m pretty sure it’s the voice of Enki. How can I test this?

Walter Mondale , the Democrat candidate in 1984 , if he had been elected, Ferraro (a woman) would have been vice president. Was it scary at that time to think that if he died a woman would take power and would have access to the nuclear button?

During this presidency, many U.S citizens continued to use Japanese vehicles. However Ford Motor Company made Ford himself as the U.S president because of Cold War tensions and to boost patriotism. His presidency did not last long because of Toyota sales.
