Alright so
when last we left our heroes
you know what fuck that
no one in this story is a hero
you could not be less heroic if your job was throwing hammers at orphans
basically Don Quixote was being a dumbass and Sancho Panza was helping
and it occurred to me last night that if I spend an exhaustive amount of time
talking about every stupid thing Don Quixote does
we will be here INDEFINITELY
so here is a stupid shit rundown
courtesy of my FISTS
because that is what i have decided to type with today
so Sancho wakes up
and Don Quixote is like QUICK HELP ME BEAT UP THESE MONKS
and Sancho is like why
and Don Quixote is like WHATEVER I’M CRAZY GET USED TO IT
and Sancho is like welp i guess i better steal everyone’s clothes
and then a dude ruins Don Quixote’s ear but whatever he doesn’t need those
not like he ever listens to ANYONE
then he beats the shit out of more innocent dudes
and sancho is like island plz?
and Don Quixote is like NOT QUITE
and sancho is like fuck what about the po po
i am not going back to jail
and Don Quixote is like DUDE I’M A FUCKING KNIGHT
I’M SO FULL OF RIGHTEOUS JUSTICE
IF A COP TRIED TO ARREST ME
TEN COPS WOULD ARREST HIM
AND THEN SET HIS FAMILY ON FIRE
so then they sleep outside some more
and then meet some goatherds
and sancho gets trashed
and then some dude shows up like LOL MY FRIEND DIED FROM GETTING REJECTED TOO HARD
LETS ALL GO TO HIS FUNERAL AND CALL THE CHICK WHO REJECTED HIM A HUGE BITCH
and Don Quixote is like THIS SOUNDS LIKE A JOB FOR CHIVALRY
but then when they show up
it turns out that the dead guy was just a total pussy
and the chick who rejected him is pretty chill
it’s not her fault she has huge tits
that all the dudes wanna motorboat SO BAD IT KILLS THEM
so that chick leaves after telling everybody off
and Don Quixote follows her
to see if her or her tits need any help
but then instead his shitty horse ends up trying to fuck some other horses
and the dudes who own the horses are like man what the hell is this
is some kind of moldy skeleton trying to do the hokey pokey on our legitimate living horses
get this thing away from here
and Don Quixote is like DID SOMEBODY SAY TIME FOR VIOLENCE?
but it turns out no one said that
and furthermore that Don Quixote is really shitty at violence
so he and sancho get their everythings broken
and lie on the ground for a while
and eventually decide they should probably find an inn
or as Don Quixote calls it
A CASTLE?!
but shit is fucked up
because Don Quixote thinks the inkeeper’s daughter wants to bang him
but really it is the daughter’s hunchbacked maid
but actually that chick just wants to bang some other dude
who is staying in the same ROOM as Don Quixote
and that dude gets upset
and then the chick hides in sancho’s bed
so then the dude attacks Sancho
and the inkeeper is like WHAT WHAT WHAT
and VIOLENCE ENSUES
and a POLICE OFFICER APPEARS
and then Don Quixote is like hey tinydick asshole how about i RUIN YOUR SPINE
AND SUDDENLY IT IS DOUBLE VIOLENCE JACKPOT
but it’s okay
because then Don Quixote refuses to pay for his stay in the inn
wait that doesn’t make it ok
that makes Sancho get tossed in a blanket by the inkeeper and his dudes
although actually that sounds like a lot of fun
but that doesn’t stop Sancho from bitching about it FOR THE REST OF THE BOOK
but the fun doesn’t stop there
because suddenly
Don Quixote sees more things
and Don Quixote’s default response to seeing things is to ATTACK THOSE THINGS
the things in question happen to be some sheeps
he thinks they are knights i guess
and so he murders like 7 of them
before the shepherds knock out his teeth with rocks
and then he’s like hold on Sancho
let me make a potion for us out of some trash and dirt i found
and then they drink it
and Sancho vomits
and he’s like hey Don Quixote lemme see how many teeth you lostOH GOD YOU VOMITED IN MY EYES
so quick recap:
after about 3 or 4 days on the road
these dudes have managed to get robbed
(oh yeah i forgot to say they got robbed)
severely beaten
and covered in vomit
THERE IS SO MUCH SUCCESS IT IS GIVING ME SCABIES JUST THINKING ABOUT IT
so then Don Quixote is maybe i should cut back on the violence
so the next time he runs into some innocent priests
he basically just brutally injures ONE of them
instead of all of them
and then sancho robs them
and then they go pass out in a valley
BUT BEFORE THEY PASS OUT
Sancho tells the SHITTIEST STORY POSSIBLE
it is about a shepherd or something
and Don Quixote keeps interrupting him
and then in the story the shepherd has to take all these sheep in a boat
and Sancho is like MAKE SURE YOU COUNT ALL THE SHEEP DON QUIXOTE
and Don Quixote is like fuck dude i don’t give a shit about the sheep
just tell the end of the story
and Sancho is like HOW MANY SHEEP ARE THERE MOTHERFUCKER
and Don Quixote is like I really have no idea
and Sancho is like WELP GUESS IM NEVER GONNA FINISH MY STORY THEN
THE END
wait wait not the end
Don Quixote has not exhausted his stupid meter yet
in fact by the time we get to the end of this travesty
Don Quixote will have maxed his stupid bar so hard
he will be able to do some kind of stupidity limit break
where he flies like sixty feet in the air
and then does a flip
and then takes a dump in his helmet or something
speaking of helmets the next thing Don Quixote does is steal one from a poor person
except it isn’t a helmet it’s just a bowl
but Don Quixote turns it into a helmet through the power of HALLUCINATIONS
and then uses some leftover hallucinations
to convince himself to release a whole bunch of CONVICTED FELONS ON A CHAINGANG
and those dudes beat the shit out of him and Sancho
and then rob them
although honestly i don’t know what they have left to steal
these dudes have been beaten and robbed so much already
and anyway the rest of their possessions are covered in vomit
but regardless Sancho starts freaking out
because you know
they’re CRIMINALS now
and he’s like FUCK LET’S FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS
so they do
and what do they see but SOME CRAZY ASSHOLE LEAPING THROUGH THE WOODS BUTT NAKED
cause he didn’t get to bang some chick he liked
cause his shitty friend stole her
and Don Quixote is like aw hell no
is someone trying to out-crazy me?
I AM NOW ALSO NAKED AND LEAPING THROUGH THE FOREST
ALSO BEATING MY FACE AGAINST TREES
TAKE THAT
PS sancho take a letter to my fair Dulcinea
tell her i’m crazy now
and Sancho is like fuckkkk that’s going to take forever
but luckily on his way to complete this shitty mission
Sancho runs into Don Quixote’s old friends the priest and the barber
and he’s like DUDES
I NEED YOUR HELP
DON QUIXOTE IS TOTALLY FUCKING BALLSACK SHITHOUSE NUTBASKETS
and the priest and the barber are like oh shit
stop the presses
and sancho is like seriously dudes
his crazy is starting to impinge on my good times
and they are like ok fine
one of us will dress up as a damsel
and be like hey Don Quixote come save us
and then we will lead him home ok?
SO THIS IS WHAT THEY PROCEED TO DO
but then when they get to the mountains
they run into some chick named Dorothea
who is all butthurt cause she got abandoned
by the same dude who stole crazy mcnakedpants’ sex target
WHAT AN ODD COINCIDENCE
and the priest or the barber or whatever
is like shit girl
you are an actual woman
whereas i am only dressed as a woman
here
put on this dress
let’s go fool an idiot
so they do that
and Dorothea isn’t very good at it
but it’s okay because Don Quixote is even less good at BEING IN TOUCH WITH REALITY
so he agrees to follow them back to town
and so does nakedpants
who i guess i should start calling Cardenio now cause he just put on some pants
and they weren’t even nakedpants or anything
he decides to come along cause Dorothea tells him that the chick the other dude stole
still has total ladyboners for him
SO THEY ALL CLIMB OUT OF THE MOUNTAINS TOGETHER
and where do they end up?
THE SAME FUCKING INN DON QUIXOTE WAS AT BEFORE
Spain just does not have any other inns
pretty sure
and the Inkeeper is like aw fuck
it’s that crazy guy again
maybe we should burn all our books about knights
wait no that’s a stupid plan that will never work
in fact how about instead we READ SOME OF THEM OUT LOUD
so the priest reads a story about these dudes Anselmo and Lothario
it is basically about how Anselmo goes to Lothario and is like dude
make my wife cheat on me with you
and Lothario is like naw
and Anselmo is like come on
and Lothario is like shit well ok
and then bones the dudes’ wife and they run away together
and the moral of the story is maybe don’t hire your best friend to fuck your wife?
ANYWAY BACK TO THE REAL STORY
DON QUIXOTE IS BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF SOME WINESKINS
dammit i wish we hadn’t gone back to the real story
i guess he thinks the wineskins are giants
but then again
he thinks EVERYTHING is giants
so that’s unsurprising
BUT SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS THAT IS SURPRISING:
THE DUDE WHO STOLE CARDENIO’S WOMAN SHOWS UP
ALONG WITH THE WOMAN HE STOLE
SUDDENLY EVERYONE IS REUNITED AND IT IS GREAT
THEY ARE ALL TOTALLY GOING TO GET MARRIED TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE NOW
THANK YOU DON QUIXOTE FOR BRINGING US ALL TOGETHER
WITH YOUR STUPID SWORD AND YOUR STUPIDER IDEAS ABOUT HOW TO USE YOUR STUPID SWORD
but that is not the end of the ridiculous stream of people who show up here
because while Don Quixote is busy claiming the inn is enchanted
and yelling about how great it is to be a knight
a dude and a chick show up from MOORELAND
I MEAN ALGIERS SORRY
yea basically the dude wants to get the chick baptized and then marry her
cause he was in prison and she dropped some money on his head
BUT THAT IS NOT ALL MY FRIENDS
BECAUSE HERE COMES THE ALGERIAN DUDE’S LONG LOST BROTHER WHO IS A JUDGE
ALSO HIS SUPER HOT DAUGHTER CLARA
seriously
are there no other inns in spain?
anyway then it turns out some asshole has been following Clara around
singing love songs through her window like a total stalker
so she decides to get married to him
and WHOA LOOK AT THAT 4X MARRIAGE COMBO
3 MILLION POINT STUPID MODIFIER
LEVEL UP
so yeah then there’s some more violence
i don’t even fucking remember why at this point
and then the cops show up
and they’re like holy shit there’s that dude who released all those felons
GET HIM
and everyone is like dudes
chill out
look at this guy
he is covered in vomit standing on his shitty horse
yelling about how the pan he is wearing on his head is the legendary MAMBRINO’S HELMET
you do not want a guy like this shitting up your nice prison
he pleads insanity ok?
so the cops are like fine
and leave
and then the barber and the priest knock out Don Quixote
and put him in a cage
and drag him back home
and the whole time Don Quixote is totally convinced he is enchanted
which is his default assumption about anything and everything
and they eventually get him back home
and the stays there for a while
until he busts out again for another MONUMENTAL CAVALCADE OF BULLSHIT
but that shit is in book two
which i will do AT A LATER DATE
so the moral of the story
is if you have lost your true love
and you are thinking about going crazy/killing yourself
chill the fuck out for a second
and just try and locate a violently delusional psychopath covered in kitchenware
your true love will not be far away
THE END.
I wish I had had this summary when I was reading this in undergrad. it makes even less sense in the original 17th century spanish. he's still my favorite literary character, though.
This is perfect. And that book is so long. Good work!
and thats saying something since napoleon decided it was intelligent to invade russia during winter
I have never been the tiniest bit interested in Don Quixote. Until now.
Poor Sancho. All he wanted was an island paradise to rule over like a tiny, vomit covered king.
this is the greatest thing ive laid eyes on, i wish my teacher would print this out and give us this instead of the actual book.
Don’t wish that! The actual book is great!
My sides, they hurt. Absolutely hilarious. Thank you for making my day better.
Wonderful as always
Just a litle dissapointed that you made no mention of that glorius fragment near the end, greatest among any other piece of spanish literature, where he insults a goatherd, then his grandmother, then his mother and then proceeds to breack his damn nose with a crust of bread
