->'''Announcer''': Epic Rap Battles of History! Bill Nye! Versus! Issac Newton! BEGIN!\\
\\
'''Issac Newton''': Of all the scientific minds in history\\
They put [[Franchise/TheMuppets Beaker]] in a bowtie up against me?\\
I'm a master! I discovered gravity!\\
I drop rhymes like they're falling from an apple tree!\\
You're no match for me, you've got a bach degree!\\
I've got a unit of force named after me!\\
You wanna battle, guy? That's a crazy notion!\\
When I start flowin', I stay in motion!\\
\\
First law! Did you catch that?\\
Or was it going too fast to detect?\\
Perhaps it would be better if I added in a "bleep"\\
Or a "bloop" or another wacky sound effect!\\
I was born on Christmas, I'm God's gift!\\
I unlocked the stars that you're [[Series/DancingWithTheStars dancing with]]!\\
You waste time debating creationists\\
While I create the science you explain to kids!\\
\\
'''Bill Nye''': Yes, it's true, what I used to do\\
Was teach kids science on my [[Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy PBS Show]]\\
But now I do what I've gotta do\\
To make sure scientific thought can grow\\
And I'm still in my prime, hitting my stride!\\
What'd you do with the back half of your life?\\
You freaked out, started counting coins for the bank\\
And you sure didn't have no wife! Ooh!\\
\\
You wrote the book on gravity\\
But you couldn't attract no body!\\
Your work on orbits was exemplary\\
But your circle of friends was shoddy! Oh!\\
You don't wanna mess with the guy Bill Nye (why?)\\
I rap sharp like a needle in your eye!\\
Stick to drinkin' that mercury\\
Cause I hypothesize that you're about to get beat!\\
\\
'''Issac Newton''': Well, I conclude that your methods are the wackest!\\
You wouldn't even pass in one of my classes!\\
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction\\
Except for when we both start rappin'!\\
I accelerated the mind of mankind\\
To a higher plane of understanding, and\\
I can calculate the weight and the size and the shape\\
Of the shadow of the mind you're standing in!\\
\\
And I'll leave you with a page from a book I wrote at half your age to rebut\\
The integral sec y dy from zero to one-sixth of pi is log to base E\\
Of the square root of three times the sixty-fourth power of what??\\
\\
'''Neil [=DeGrasse=] Tyson''': Why don't you pick on a brain your own size?\\
We've got a badass over here, plus I've got your back, Nye\\
Astrophysics black guy, Hayden Planetary fly\\
By the way the answer to your little calculation is "i"\\
\\
As in I put the swag back in science\\
While Issac Newton was lying and sticking daggers in Leibniz\\
And hiding up inside his attic on some Harry Potter business\\
The universe is infinite, but this battle is finished!\\
\\
'''Announcer''': Who won? Who's next? Y-Y-Y-You decide!\\
Epic Rap Battleeeeee... Epic Rap [gurgles]... Epic Rap Battles of History!

This battle sees the father of physics, Sir UsefulNotes/IsaacNewton (played by Music/WeirdAlYankovic) square off against beloved TV scientists [[Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy Bill Nye]] (Peter Shukoff) and UsefulNotes/NeilDeGrasseTyson (Chali 2na).

* TheAce: Not even Nye can resist slipping in references to Isaac Newton’s many achievements.

* AscendedMeme: Tyson gets in an obligatory ”We got a badass over here!"
* BadassBaritone: Tyson’s voice is ''INCREDIBLY'' deep.
* BadassBoast: Newton delivers two, to Nye. One in each verse:
-->'''Sir Isaac Newton: (verse one)''' "You're no match for me, you got a Bach degree. [[RedBaron I've got a unit of force named after me!"]]
** The second is [[TakeThat a pointed one]], which clearly intimidates Nye:
-->'''Sir Isaac Newton: (verse two)''' "I accelerated the mind of mankind to a higher plain of understanding ''and'', I can calculate the weight, or the size and the shape of the shadow of the mind '''[[CantCatchUp YOU'RE STANDING IN!!"]]'''
* BigDamnHeroes: Tyson intervenes when Nye seems a bit too intimidated by Newton's MotorMouth.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Bill Nye uses Newton's achievements to take shots at his personal life. Then again, see NiceGuy.
* BlackAndNerdy: Tyson is the self-proclaimed Astrophysics Black Guy.
* BlasphemousBoast: Newton mentions that he's "God's Gift" while talking about how he was born on Christmas day.
* BrokenAce: Nye points out that while Newton was an accomplished scientist, he never married, had only a few friends, and overall a lousy personal life.
* ButtMonkey: It's no secret Nye’s a bit outclassed, even though he had some good lines. Even his own teammate is somewhat condescending towards him.
-->'''Tyson:''' Why don't you pick on a brain your own size?
* TheCameo: UsefulNotes/CarlSagan briefly appears in the background during Nye’s verse.
* CelibateEccentricGenius: Newton famously shunned interpersonal relationships for his work, although Bill Nye claims he was just unlucky.
-->''You wrote the book on gravity, but you couldn't attract no body!''
* EyeScream: Newton once pushed a needle around his eyeball to prod at its back side as part of an experiment to research how color is perceived, which Nye indirectly references.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: As Bill Nye references, Newton may have died of mercury poisoning he brought upon himself.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Newton criticizes Bill Nye for "[wasting] time debating creationists", despite the fact that he himself was a fairly outspoken one.
* {{Irony}}: Tyson’s [[MemeticMutation famous]] "we've got a badass over here" statement originates from a video where Tyson talks about Isaac Newton's involvement with calculus; here, he's rapping against that same guy.
* JadedWashout: Nye accuses Newton of being one. While Nye's "hitting his stride" he asks what Newton did with the back half of his life.
* JokeCharacter: Nye tries to diss Newton, but he's pretty clearly completely out of his depth and doesn't stand any sort of chance on his own requiring a teammate to bail him out.
* LonersAreFreaks: Nye's verses rip on how Newton never married and had few friends.
* NerdsAreVirgins: As Nye snarks, “You wrote the book on gravity, but you couldn't attract no body!"
* NiceGuy: Nye spends half of his verse praising his opponent. Then again see BitchInSheepsClothing.
* MotorMouth: Newton’s last line is impressively fast.
-->'''Newton:''' The integral sec y dy from zero to one-sixth of pi is log to base e of the square-root of three times the sixty-fourth power of ''what?''
* OldShame: [[invoked]] Newton thinks Nye's a joke because he was on a silly children's show and Nye insists that he's doing other stuff now.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Seems to be a running theme with Nye and Tyson. Tyson jumps in to help Nye out and both target Newton's lack of friends and his mistreatment of the few he had. Plus, Carl Sagan, Tyson's mentor, cameos during Nye's segments.
* SoulBrotha: Tyson is the “astrophysics black guy” who "put the swag back in science."
* SpecialGuest: Not only do we have the one and only '''Music/WeirdAlYankovic''' as Sir Isaac Newton, but we’ve also got Chali 2na (of the rap group Jurassic 5) as Neil [=DeGrasse=] Tyson.[[note]]Incidentally the ''real'' Neil [=DeGrasse=] Tyson said he wished they asked him to appear AsHimself, as he would have said yes.[[/note]]
* WackySoundEffect: Newton mocks Nye’s show for its gratuitous use of cartoonish sound effects.
* WhamLine: Neil [=DeGrasse=] Tyson’s unexpected presence is heralded with “Why don’t you pick on a brain your own size?”
