This article proposes to reflect on the adaptation of Hamlet by The Simpsons in the episode Do the bard man, with the aim of observing important aspects of this contemporary recreation. The reframing of Hamlet in The Simpsons presents a play-within-a-play where the series´ characters act out the roles of Shakespeare´s characters. The inclusion of so many elements from Shakespeare´s play in a five-minute adaptation is emphasized and a storyboard is suggested to include aspects of the famous soliloquies.
