* HammyVillainSeriousHero: Whilst everyone is hammy to some extent, Romeo is laid back and has a relatively subdued performance (for the majority of the play anyway) compared to the rest of the cast, ''especially'' Lord Capulet and Tybalt, the two hammiest characters in the play.

"And you are here by... banished, from Verona."" This WhamLine is {{Subverted}}, as it doesn't really alter the story in a significant way.

* AdaptationalJerkAss: Nearly everyone has this treatment. Every character, with the exception of Prince Escolus (except Paris, but he never interacted with Peter), usually berate, humiliate and gaslight [[ButtMonkey Peter]] (especially Mercutio) every chance they get for no reason whatsoever. Not to mention how Romeo's angry at Roseline for breaking up with him, not because of any justifiable reason, but because she wanted to stay a virgin. For some reason, his friends sympathise with him for this. Don't ask.

''Romeo and Juliet, but without any rehearsals'' is a comical adaptation by WebVideo/Alpharad and his friends of one of the most famous works of Creator/WilliamShakespeare, Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet. It tells the basic plot of the play but with a creative twist… none of the actors had any rehearsals beforehand, so aside from a basic plot summary and goals for the characters written down on cue cards by Joe Sniffy, the whole production is improvised.

For those who don’t know the plot of Romeo and Juliet (which, if you don’t by now then I’m concerned) it goes like this; BoyMeetsGirl. It's LoveAtFirstSight. But Boy and Girl are members of FeudingFamilies. [[FourthDateMarriage Boy secretly marries Girl]]. Boy's friend is murdered by Girl's cousin, so Boy kills Girl's cousin in a fit of rage, then skips town. Girl agrees to [[FakingTheDead dangerous plot]] to avoid an ArrangedMarriage set up by her parents. Plot [[GoneHorriblyRight goes horribly right]]. Boy, [[PoorCommunicationKills hearing of Girl's "death,"]] returns to town and [[DrivenToSuicide kills himself for real]] at her grave. Girl, [[MissedHimByThatMuch waking and discovering this]], kills herself in turn. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Grief-stricken]] families reconcile. TheEnd!

* AllMenArePerverts: Both Romeo & Paris are exceptionally horny for Juliet. Paris makes sexual comments towards her like there’s no tomorrow and Romeo has a foot fetish here. The other characters aren’t safe from this either, since Lord Capulet makes a perverted joke to Paris about how “if you want to f**k my daughter, you gotta f**k me first” and comments about his massive penis. Not to mention how he straight up marries Lord Montague in front of his wife (ex-wife technically speaking, Friar Lawrence eventually takes over the mantle of Lady Capulet’s husband).

* BrokenAesop: Parodied and PlayedForLaughs. The original message from Romeo and Juliet is completely shattered into pieces here thanks to this adaptation’s comical tone. Whilst Prince Escolus does sing about the violence, cruelty and lack of sympathetic traits of humanity, this is done through singing “Where is the Love” by the “Black Eyed Peas”, which has nothing to do with the themes of the play other than the vague theme of love.
