Pumping Iron and Reading Gilbert and Sullivan: A Bro’s Review of “The Complete Plays of Gilbert and Sullivan”

Yo, what’s good, gym rats and swole sisters? Today, we’re gonna switch shit up a bit and review a book. Yeah, you heard me right. A book. I know, I know – you’re probably wondering what the hell this has to do with lifting weights and getting jacked. But hear me out.

So, the book we’re reviewing today is “The Complete Plays of Gilbert and Sullivan” by some dude named Gilbert and another dude named Sullivan. Basically, it’s a collection of plays written by these two dudes back in the day. The plays are musicals, so they have singing and dancing and all that jazz. If that sounds lame to you, hold up – there’s more to it than that.

First of all, these plays are old as hell, like from the late 1800s. But you know what? They’re still being performed today. That’s how you know they’re legit. Plus, they’re funny as hell. Like, there’s this one play called “The Mikado” that’s about this dude who becomes the ruler of a town and makes all these crazy laws. It’s hilarious. And there’s another play called “H.M.S. Pinafore” that’s about a sailor trying to woo this chick who’s way above his pay grade. Trust me, it’s way more entertaining than reading some boring-ass history book.

Now, you might be thinking, “Okay, sure, these plays are cool and all, but what does this have to do with me lifting weights?” Well, my fellow gym bros and swole sisters, think about it. These plays were written over a century ago, but they’re still being performed today. That’s some legacy shit right there. We’re all trying to leave our mark on the world in some way, right? We want to be remembered when we’re gone. These plays are a reminder that if you create something great, it can live on long after you’re dead and gone. And isn’t that what we’re trying to do with our muscles? We want to leave a lasting impression on the world, to show people that we were here and we were strong as hell.

So, should you read “The Complete Plays of Gilbert and Sullivan”? Hell yeah, you should. It’s a fun read, it’s a piece of history, and it’s a reminder that greatness can come from unexpected places. Plus, it’ll give you something to talk about while you’re doing cardio so you don’t have to stare at the wall like a schmuck.
