Macduff's Gruff Playlist

Macduff is the best character in Macbeth. His name has the same number of syllables and letters as the main character's, and the first three letters are also the first three letters of the main character's name. Already he's drawing attention to himself. Who is this crazy guy trying to confuse us and pass himself off as the protagonist‽ Then his entire family is killed by an insane murderous king, and then he goes and kills that king! Two for two so far, this guy is on a roll! And even though he killed the king, he doesn't even get to be the king! Talk about integrity, this head-chopping Macduff guy is a solid role model. Who wouldn't want to get to the source of this man's moral principles? And of course there is no better way to learn good moral principles than to watch television. Without further ado, here's Macduff's Top 4-5 Favorite Shows that He Recommends that You Watch that Have Nothing to do with Oliver's Preferences when it comes to Television and Humor Although Oliver Does Have Very Good Taste When It Comes To Those Things.

Dangerous situations present themselves often on The IT Crowd

#5 Or 4. The IT Crowd: Being from Great Britain, Macduff sure does like his dry humor, and this sitcom has plenty of it. Centered around three coworkers in the IT department of a large company, this show features painfully awkward situations and ridiculously dramatic events, things that Macduff can relate to from his interactions with Macbeth. Macduffs enjoys the struggle that the main characters face against eccentric and irresponsible bosses, as well as the humor found in the relationship between the different nations that make up the U.K.

#4, Maybe 3. The Return of the Pink Panther: I'm not sure if this is on Netflix anymore, but if it is Macduff totally recommends it. This 1975 film follows the famous Inspector Clouseau as he attempts to solve yet another mystery. There are plenty of scenes in which Clouseau and his assistant have long, intense fights that are meant to keep Clouseau alert and able to defend himself. However, they do a better job of destroying every object in sight. Macduff loves fight scenes and finds them very exciting, although he is able to keep his head if necessary
(This is from a different pink panther movie, but it is a funny scene).


#2-ish Or Something Like That. Firefly: Now no good exploration of moral behavior would be complete without this sci-fi western. Set hundreds of years in the future in a solar system of colonized planets, the one-season series depicts the struggles of a rag-tag crew in their efforts to keep going while laying low in the hostile depths of interplanetary space. The show explores themes such as the relationship between people and their government, the problems of vast economic disparities, and the love and conflict associated with being part of a crew.

You get it? Because it says "going mad"
and that's what Macbeth does in the play
like there's justification for me to use
this show in this post or something?
(P.S. That other gif really doesn't
connect to Macbeth at all but I put it in
because it's funny. I mean he puts not
one but two fingers in his mouth!)

Macduff's gotta include this show because the main character, Malcolm Reynolds, also has a very similar name to him, which would make it easy to confuse them if Macduff was a character in the show. Also, the show solves problems by killing people, which is the best way to solve your problems. But Macduff really loves this series because of the loyalty that Malcolm Reynolds has for and expects from his crew. Despite the universe's blatant indifference towards the survival of any human being, these guys manage to find a way to keep going, not because they are special, but because they manage to love each other and look out for one another no matter what happens. Macduff thinks that there's something beautiful about that.

Captain Amelia. She is loyal to the British Crown and a
strong fighter, just like Macduff!

#The Last One. Treasure Planet: Macduff tried to steer away from sci-fi as much as possible, but I guess he just couldn't resist this one. Treasure Planet surprisingly features characters on a quest to get to a planet that's core is made out of treasure. Which is realistic. Along the way, there are betrayals, murders, cover-ups: everything that Macduff loves to shed light on. Macduff can relate to the main character, who doesn't have a father figure in his life, because Macduff lost his entire family after they were all murdered by Macbeth. He also likes the lesson shown about how greed and disloyalty lead to negative consequences, as Macduff values loyalty and being content with what one has.
