The Canterbury Tales

A Sweary Classics Adaptation

Horseback heresy: farts, fornication, and fraud on the road to redemption (spoiler: there is no redemption for these fools).

A ragtag crew of 29 pilgrims—knights, nuns, corrupt friars, and shit-stained gutter rats—trudge from a London tavern to Canterbury Cathedral, swapping tales of lust, greed, revenge, and fart jokes. The Wife of Bath brags about her five husbands like a 14th-century Tinder pro. The Miller pukes out a blackout-drunk story. The Pardoner hawks fake relics made from pig shit while preaching against greed. The Summoner peddles hellfire pardons for silver.

The stakes? One bad tale and you lose supper, dignity, or your immortal soul. Chaucer's pilgrimage runs on ale, betrayal, and bodily fluids disguised as "humor." These stories survived because they were brutally honest about humanity: everyone sins, everyone stinks, and God probably laughs.

If you love roast battles with medieval edge, folk tales that weaponized farts, and twisted "morals" that mock everyone—this sweary collection delivers that real Chaucer nightmare fuel.
