| 10 | [[folder: Blackbeard vs Al Capone]] |
| 11 | !!UsefulNotes/{{Blackbeard}} |
| 12 | ->'''Played by:''' Peter Shukoff |
| 13 | ->''"I'm an irate pirate; real swashbuckling buccaneer!"'' |
| 14 | ---- |
| 15 | * AwesomeMcCoolName: "I'm a criminal legend, with a badass name!" To quote Edward "Blackbeard" Teach himself. |
| 16 | * ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: He uses one of his pistols as a pointer. At one point, he points it at his own head while talking about Al Capone having "an STD in his brain". |
| 17 | * BadassBoast: |
| 18 | ** His second verse is loaded with these: |
| 19 | -->'''Blackbeard''': "The Valentine's Massacre brought you condemnation but I'm gonna sink you faster than your income tax evasion." |
| 20 | -->"So prepare to learn the Davy Jones locker combination." |
| 21 | -->"Forty cannon on the Queen Anne. Your gang can't stop it. I'll pilfer all your rum and sell it back at a profit." |
| 22 | ** And he ends by calling himself a criminal legend with a [[AwesomeMcCoolName badass name]]. |
| 23 | * CardCarryingVillain: Enormously proud of his ruthlessness and his cold heart. |
| 24 | * CoolShip: The ''Queen Anne's Revenge'', featured in his background. He even mentions her 40 cannons. |
| 25 | * EvilSoundsRaspy: He doesn't talk as much as he ''roars'' in the form of words. |
| 26 | * GunsAkimbo: Shows off a pair of guns in the background in his first verse. |
| 27 | * HypocriticalHumor: Blackbeard ''also'' had syphilis but Al died from it, whereas Blackbeard didn't. |
| 28 | * {{Jerkass}}: Capone accuses Blackbeard of being one, as he makes fun of Capone's syphilis. |
| 29 | * KubrickStare: In his intro and very often while he raps, he makes a sinister look up at Capone. |
| 30 | * LickingTheBlade: Tastes his cutlass in his intro, because he's a pirate. |
| 31 | * OffWithHisHead: Capone reminds Blackbeard that they cut his head off and hung it from a rope. |
| 32 | * ThePigpen: Capone makes fun of his filthy living conditions. |
| 33 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: He's a vicious criminal (by his own admission) and his entire color palette is red and black (with touches of gold). |
| 34 | * RedOniBlueOni: More energetic than Capone. [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience He's even wearing a bright red coat!]] |
| 35 | * SlasherSmile: In his intro he has this crazy look on him. |
| 36 | * StopBeingStereotypical: He says that he's the real deal because he doesn't follow cartoon cliches associated with pirates such as parrots and ear rings. |
| 37 | * TalkLikeAPirate: Heavily into the "arrgh" accent. |
| 38 | * VillainCred: If you look closely during Capone's verses, you can see Blackbeard seemingly nodding in approval as if he's impressed by Al's rapping. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | !!UsefulNotes/AlCapone |
| 41 | ->'''Played by:''' Lloyd Ahlquist |
| 42 | ->''"I run an intricate criminal syndicate, so show respect!"'' |
| 43 | ---- |
| 44 | * BadassBoast: |
| 45 | ** Most of his first verse has him addressing Blackbeard directly, by telling him exactly what he'd do to him: |
| 46 | -->'''Capone: (at Blackbeard)''' "I'll use that fuse in your hat to light up you and your buddies," |
| 47 | -->"Then burn your sailboat down and collect the insurance money." |
| 48 | -->"Then maybe they'll find your bloated body dead and washed up on the beach." |
| 49 | -->"This is Capone rappin'. I'm cappin' this Captain, capiché?" |
| 50 | ** Capone follows that one up with another one, during his second verse: |
| 51 | -->'''Capone:''' "I'm the MC assassin, slash like Edward Kenway. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Rap. So. HARD]], [[{{Pun}} call me "Al. Dente."]] |
| 52 | * BadassInANiceSuit: His [[SharpDressedMan business suit]] strikes a contrast with Blackbeard's coat. |
| 53 | * CombatPragmatist: His men contract [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag Edward Kenway]] to kill Blackbeard's men while Al keeps him distracted with the rap battle. |
| 54 | * DiabolicalMastermind: He's running an "intricate criminal syndicate, so show respect". |
| 55 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Downplayed but present when he mentions his kids like to dress up as Blackbeard for Halloween. |
| 56 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He doesn't take kindly to Blackbeard using his syphilis as a diss. |
| 57 | * FatBastard: He has more meat on him then Blackbeard, who uses this as an insult. |
| 58 | * JusticeByOtherLegalMeans: Blackbeard mocks how he was toppled by tax evasion. |
| 59 | * KillItWithFire: Threatens to set Blackbeard's hat fuse on fire and burn down his whole crew. |
| 60 | * LameComeback: "I had syphillis yeah, well you're a huge dick." |
| 61 | * ALighterShadeOfBlack: Is shown to be less braggadocios about his criminal acts than Blackbeard and is genuinely disturbed by his opponent making fun of his syphilis. |
| 62 | * ManOfWealthAndTaste: Just look at his suit and wonder how he paid for it. |
| 63 | * TheMafia: It's what he's known for. |
| 64 | * NervesOfSteel: Capone is not only completely unfazed by his opponent's lines, but in fact dismisses Teach outright. |
| 65 | * PrisonRape: Blackbeard thinks that Al would've been fine at TheAlcatraz if he dropped the soap as little as he drops good rap lines. |
| 66 | * RedOniBlueOni: His presence is intense but he is not as expressive as Blackbeard. [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience It's emphasized by his deep blue suit.]] |
| 67 | * SayMyOwnName: In the form of a pun, used as a final jab at Blackbeard: |
| 68 | -->'''Capone:''' "Tell South Carolina Blackbeard [[TakeThat got Capwn'd."]] |
| 69 | * SharpDressedMan: Al shows up for the battle decked out in a three-piece suit, a trench coat, and a fedora. |
| 70 | * SmugSmiler: Check the smirk on his face during Blackbeard's second verse. Not only is Capone ''not impressed'', he puts his hands in his pockets while waiting for him to finish. |
| 71 | * TeenyWeenie: Blackbeard claims that no woman would touch him even using a tweezer. |
| 72 | [[/folder]] |
| 73 | |
| 74 | [[folder: Miley Cyrus vs Joan of Arc]] |
| 75 | !!Music/MileyCyrus |
| 76 | ->'''Played by:''' Michelle Glavan |
| 77 | ->''"It's Miley Cyrus; I'm the hottest thing since Britney, bitch!"'' |
| 78 | ---- |
| 79 | * AsideGlance: Blink and you'll miss it, but during Joan's second verse (around the end of "you ratchet skank"), Miley glances back at the camera, which is behind her, with a disgusted look. |
| 80 | * BlasphemousBoast: "When ''I'' come under fire, I can hash-tag-handle-it! If God's in your corner, than girl you need better management!" |
| 81 | * DeadpanSnarker: Her response to Joan's first verse is a sarcastic "Sweet burn." [[AccidentalPun "No pun intended!"]] |
| 82 | * ManiacTongue: Michelle did some research and noted that Miley regularly flashed her tongue. |
| 83 | * NoSell: She doesn't lose her temper or seem intimidated ''once'', even when Joan flips out near the end. She even brushes off said flip-off with a StealthInsult. She brushes off ''everything'' Joan says. |
| 84 | * OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Joan tries to invoke this in regards to Miley's twerking. Miley twerks throughout the video and even references it in her first verse. |
| 85 | * ReallyGetsAround: Many of Joan's (and even some of Miley's) lines refer to how she's been having sex with many guys. |
| 86 | * ShakingTheRump: Twerks both in the intro sequence and during Joan's first verse. The latter case may double as a taunt to Joan, since Miley was shaking her rear right in Joan's face. |
| 87 | * StealthInsult: After Joan flips out at her blaspheming, Miley just smirks and responds with this: |
| 88 | --> "Sweet burn... no pun intended!" |
| 89 | * ThatManIsDead: She says she killed her alter ego of Hannah Montana. |
| 90 | * ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: "It's Miley Cyrus, I'm the hottest thing since [[Music/BritneySpears Britney]], bitch!" |
| 91 | |
| 92 | !! UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc |
| 93 | ->'''Played by:''' Jessi Smiles |
| 94 | ->''"When it comes to bad bitches, I'm the patron saint!"'' |
| 95 | ---- |
| 96 | * ActionGirl: Leader of French armies, wears chainmail, and threatens Cyrus with physical violence. |
| 97 | * BadassBoast: |
| 98 | -->"When it comes to bad bitches, I'm the patron saint!" |
| 99 | * BerserkButton: She doesn't take kindly to the Lord's name being taken in vain. |
| 100 | -->"''Do not take the Lord's name in vain, you ratchet skank!''" |
| 101 | * CelibateHero: Died a virgin, according to Miley. |
| 102 | * GodIsGood: Aware that God would not approve of her beating up a civilian over slights. |
| 103 | * GratuitousFrench: Says "je suis la fille en feu (I am the girl on fire), just call me [[Literature/TheHungerGames Katniss Everdeen]]" in her first verse. |
| 104 | * LadyOfWar: She maintains her composure throughout the rap battle. |
| 105 | * MissionFromGod: She receives messages from God's angels. In contrast, she says Cyrus' highest calling was a text from a guy who made a movie Music/SnoopDogg all about weed. |
| 106 | * NotSoStoic: Her reactions to Miley's first verse are subdued, and her own verse starts out calmly. [[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent Then she burns down the town behind her.]] |
| 107 | * PlayingWithFire: Able to torch a city ablaze with her verses. |
| 108 | * RedBaron: The Maid of Orleans. |
| 109 | * ReligiousBruiser: Starts the rap battle with a prayer to God and then threatens to rip Cyrus' tongue out through her teeth. |
| 110 | * SweetPollyOliver: Miley uses this against her by calling her a "cross-dressing peasant". |
| 111 | * TurnTheOtherCheek: Her first verse says she knows that this is what God would prefer her to do, but [[DefiedTrope she doesn't.]] |
| 112 | [[/folder]] |
| 113 | |
| 114 | [[folder: Bob Ross vs Pablo Picasso]] |
| 115 | !![[Series/TheJoyOfPainting Bob Ross]] |
| 116 | -> '''Played by:''' Peter Shukoff |
| 117 | ->''"I'm so glad you could join me today."'' |
| 118 | ---- |
| 119 | * AerithAndBob: One thing Pablo points out is his own OverlyLongName, then says "Back to you, ''Bob.''" |
| 120 | * AfroAsskicker: Even with the laid-back attitude, he's not to be messed with. |
| 121 | * BobRossRib: This is a given; a lot of visual elements in his raps, along with how he raps with a calm, soothing voice, are all pulled directly from ''Series/TheJoyOfPainting'' show. |
| 122 | * MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: His background is black at first, just like the set of his show. However, during his first verse, he paints one of his famous landscapes onto the background (using the same "brushing" special effect his show would sometimes open with), and that becomes his background for the rest of the battle. |
| 123 | * MoodSwinger: Given how he's always calm and pleasant, it's a downplayed example. |
| 124 | ** While he acts one hundred percent cheerful in his own verses, he's shown with some combination of smugness and TranquilFury during Pablo's. Notice his derivative smirk when Pablo calls himself "the modern art Muhammad Ali" and his faltering smile when Pablo says he taught people how to suck at painting. |
| 125 | ** At the start of his second verse, he proudly declares that he served in the military for his first two lines, and he stops smiling in favour of having a neutral yet proud expression while saluting and posing. When his third line starts, he suddenly starts smiling again and does a goofy dance. |
| 126 | * NiceGuy: It's difficult to tell if he's really trying to put down Picasso, or if he sees this as a friendly competition. |
| 127 | * PatrioticFervor: Proudly declares that he served 20 years in the United States Air Force. |
| 128 | * PrecisionFStrike: It's very mild, but the only time he swears in the entire battle. |
| 129 | --> ''"Yo Pablo, you just got your happy little ass beat."'' |
| 130 | * PerpetualSmiler: Falters a little when talking about his Air Force service (understandable, given he gave up life in the Air Force because he didn't enjoy being a DrillSergeantNasty), but the rest of the song? Grinning like crazy. |
| 131 | * RedOniBlueOni: Blue Oni; He's famous for his calm, soft-spoken manner. It also applies to the backing track - his is distinctly calmer and less bombastic than Picasso's. |
| 132 | |
| 133 | !!Creator/{{Pablo Picasso}} |
| 134 | -> '''Played by:''' Lloyd Ahlquist |
| 135 | ->''"I am the greatest: the modern art Muhammad Ali!"'' |
| 136 | ---- |
| 137 | * FlippingTheBird: He does this ''with paint'' [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the background of his first verse]]. |
| 138 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Calls himself the modern art Muhammad Ali. Ali would go up against Michael Jordan in ''the very next'' battle. |
| 139 | * GratuitousSpanish: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. The only time he speaks Spanish is as part of his OverlyLongName. |
| 140 | * InsufferableGenius: His first line is "I am the greatest!" He's accused of being this by Bob, who calls him a 'moody little genius' and snarks that not all art has [[TrueArtIsAngsty to be angsty]]. |
| 141 | * MonochromaticEyes: Black eyes, just like in real life. They count as BlackEyesOfEvil if one considers him to be the antagonist of this battle (which, considering [[NiceGuy how his opponent acts]], is likely true for many). |
| 142 | * OverlyLongName: His full name - Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruiz y Picasso - takes up much of his second verse, and he doesn't even go through all of it[[note]]He skips over the "Martyr Patricio Clito" part.[[/note]] |
| 143 | * PetTheDog: Noticeably happier when he mentions his weiner dog, Lump. |
| 144 | * PretenderDiss: Scoffs at Bob's lack of classical training and berates him for using the term "Cubist," claiming he doesn't even know the meaning of the word. |
| 145 | * RedOniBlueOni: Red Oni; he's loud and aggressive and bombastic. They basically [[{{Pun}} painted him]] like the Creator/ErnestHemingway of art. |
| 146 | * ShirtlessScene: In the background, while painting the middle finger (see FlippingTheBird above), he is inexplicably shirtless. |
| 147 | * TrueArtIsAngsty: An in-universe example. Bob accuses Picasso of this and specifically mentions his "Blue Period". This contrasts his own belief that paintings can be happy and loving. |
| 148 | |
| 149 | ! Lump |
| 150 | |
| 151 | Picasso's pet daschund (who actually belonged to a friend of his). |
| 152 | ------ |
| 153 | * PreciousPuppy: Picasso is noticeably happier when holding him. |

| 157 | !! UsefulNotes/MichaelJordan |
| 158 | -> '''Played by:''' Creator/KeeganMichaelKey |
| 159 | ->''"I'm a flying machine, like the world has never seen!"'' |
| 160 | ---- |
| 161 | * BerserkButton: Does not take kindly to being accused of selling out. |
| 162 | * CharacterTic: Sticking his tongue out. Ali says it makes him look like a big dumb goblin. |
| 163 | * CirclingMonologue: His last verse is a textbook example; walking around Ali while proving his hypocrisy about "selling out". |
| 164 | * TheGamblingAddict: His betting woes are referenced by Ali. |
| 165 | * HandicappedBadass: Says he could school Ali even if he had the flu. [[note]]This is a nod to Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals, where Jordan, crippled by stomach flu, managed to lead the Bulls to a close win over the Utah Jazz.[[/note]] |
| 166 | * HypocriticalHumor: He tells Ali that he got sick listening to Ali's low blow about his father's death, even though he initiated by mocking Ali's Parkinson's. |
| 167 | * InASingleBound: He boasts his jumping ability as true flight. |
| 168 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Ali brings up his infamous ball-hogging by saying he should switch to professional golf so he can keep the ball all to himself. Then during his second verse, the music shouts "SWITCH!" and he refuses to hand the mic to an off-screen Pippen. |
| 169 | * JerkJock: Initiates the personal attacks between himself and Ali by mocking the latter's Parkinson's Disease. |
| 170 | * KickTheDog: The Parkinson's thing was a low blow. |
| 171 | * LightningBruiser: A flying machine who drives through whole teams. |
| 172 | * OneManArmy: Self-proclaimed. While Ali fights one guy, he can drive through a whole team. |
| 173 | * SellOut: Called this by Muhammad due to his mountain of endorsement deals, though he shoots back that [[HypocriticalHumor Ali hardly was a stranger to that himself]]. |
| 174 | |
| 175 | !! UsefulNotes/MuhammadAli |
| 176 | -> '''Played by:''' Creator/JordanPeele |
| 177 | ->''"I'm so pretty; my hands are so fast!"'' |
| 178 | ---- |
| 179 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: This Ali's trash-talk is a lot cleaner and more politically correct than the kind he famously got up to in real life, notable considering that usually contestants in ERB are made ''more'' vulgar and crude rather than the opposite.[[note]]Ali called opponent Joe Frazier an "Uncle Tom", "ugly gorilla", and "the wrong kind of negro", also insulting his skin, ears, lips, and nose (Ali, as a lighter-skinned black man who bragged about how "pretty" he was, did this constantly to African-American opponents with more visibly Sub-Saharan features [[{{Irony}} despite being a black supremacist himself]]). He kept this up so much that Frazier was effectively vilified by his own ethnic group, had his kids bullied at school, and 100% despised Ali until the day that he died. Ali also insulted George Foreman for his devout Christianity and called him "a [[NoTrueScotsman white]], flag-waving bitch", and called Ernie Terrell "an Uncle Tom nigger who is going to get his ass whupped." ERB's Ali also never brings up the fact that Jordan had a white wife, which the real Ali definitely would have done in this context considering he spoke at KKK rallies advocating segregation and gave an interview to Playboy Magazine in 1975 where he said that any black man who married a white woman should be lynched (ditto a black woman marrying a white man).[[/note]] |
| 180 | * AfroAsskicker: A relatively subdued 'fro, but it still counts because he is still an asskicker in boxing and rapping. |
| 181 | * BadassBoast: "I'll leave you like Liston, flat on your ass!" |
| 182 | * BoisterousBruiser: He's a boxer and is very aggressive in his raps. |
| 183 | * DirtyCoward: Jordon accuses Ali of being a coward for being a draft dodger as mentioned below. |
| 184 | --> ''Why don't you dodge this battle like you did Vietnam?'' |
| 185 | * DoNotCallMePaul: Gets noticeably more aggressive after Jordan calls him "Cassius". [[TruthInTelevision This actually was an easy way to set him off]]. |
| 186 | * DraftDodging: Ali was a conscientious objector who said that UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar, among other things, went against his Islamic beliefs, though [[DirtyCoward Jordan claims he was just a coward]]. |
| 187 | * ExtremityExtremist: His fists and dope rhymes are the only weapons he needs. |
| 188 | * TheFightingNarcissist: He's a boxer who brags about how "pretty" he is. |
| 189 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Ali ends one of his verses by accusing Jordan of selling out. Michael turns it right around listing off his own endorsement deals. |
| 190 | * JerkJock: As per his actual arrogant ring persona in real life. See KickTheDog below. |
| 191 | * KickTheDog: Brings up the death of Jordan's father just so he could say his baseball career was a bigger tragedy. |
| 192 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: Justified in that it's basically standard boxing protocol. |

| 197 | |
| 198 | See the [[Characters/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory main page]] for him. |
| 199 | |
| 200 | !! [[Literature/AChristmasCarol Ebenezer Scrooge]] |
| 201 | -> '''Played by:''' Music/ZachSherwin |
| 202 | ->''"Bah, humbug!"'' |
| 203 | ---- |
| 204 | * AllLovingHero: At the end he vows to be a friend to all men. |
| 205 | * BeingEvilSucks: Just like in the novel, the ghosts emphasize how Scrooge's unrelenting greed has just made him a miserable shell of a person; J.P. Morgan points out how Scrooge's descent into misanthropy started when he got rejected by his girlfriend and became more bitter and miserly until his greed consumed his entire life; Kanye West emphasizes how Scrooge is unable to enjoy his wealth because he has no friends and overall isolates himself from the world; and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows Scrooge the BadFuture that will result from his failure to change his cruel ways: he'll die alone, unmourned, and drowning in guilt for the suffering he caused. |
| 206 | * ButtMonkey: He first gets startled awake by Trump, then [[spoiler:yelled at by three rappers - the last of whom is NightmareFuel to him - until he nearly starts crying before changing his ways. This was bound to happen since the battle is an abridged version (with new characters) of ''A Christmas Carol''.]] |
| 207 | * DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: He starts out being negative to the ghosts appearing to him and dismissing them with insults. After Kanye West, he begins to listen to their advice more. |
| 208 | --> "I do not believe in ghosts ''and I don't believe that hair!''" |
| 209 | --> "The only thing that scares me is your gross ghost proboscis!" |
| 210 | * GrumpyOldMan: His first words are how upset he is that his nap was ruined. |
| 211 | * HeelFaceTurn: At the end of the battle, he gives up his greedy ways. |
| 212 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come says that, unless he changes his ways, Scrooge will go to his grave regretting how his rampant greed caused innocent people (such as his employee's terminally ill son) to suffer. This revelation causes the present-day Scrooge to regret his actions and promise to become a better person. |
| 213 | * NotUsingTheZWord: Claims he doesn't believe in ghosts, but refers to Trump as both a "phantom" and an "apparition". |
| 214 | * TheScrooge: The man himself. |
| 215 | * YouNeedToGetLaid: A retroactive example; J.P. Morgan says that Scrooge messed up when decided to prioritize his money over his girlfriend, and that if he wanted to avoid becoming the miserable JerkAss he is today, he ''should've'' chosen to get laid instead. |
| 216 | -->'''J.P. Morgan:''' You got dumped on a bench; now, you're pissed at the world\ |
| 217 | [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 You should've made like Sebastian and kissed the girl!]] |
| 218 | |
| 219 | !!J.P. Morgan, The Ghost of Rich Dudes Past |
| 220 | -> '''Played by:''' Lloyd Ahlquist |
| 221 | ->''"Yo, I own the railroad! I run these tracks!"'' |
| 222 | ---- |
| 223 | * AnachronismStew: He's the Ghost of "Rich Dudes Past" and he's haunting Ebenezer Scrooge... who aside from being fictional, would have been decades ''older'' then Morgan. [[note]] Morgan was born in 1837, and ''A Christmas Carol'' was published in 1843, which means that, assuming the story took place the same year it was published, Morgan would've been six years old while Scrooge would've been middle-aged at the youngest. [[/note]] Scrooge is more suited to the job than Morgan himself is. Of course, nobody Scrooge fits is contemporary to him anyway, so it's not outside the realm of possibility that this version of Scrooge is from the present day. |
| 224 | * TheCameo: Makes a brief appearance in Che Guevara vs Guy Fawkes battle when Fawkes brings up how capitalists are making money off the Communist rebel Che's likeness. |
| 225 | * CoolOldGuy: A old man who is rich in the bank and in the heart. |
| 226 | * GagNose: The only thing Scrooge is frightened of is Morgan's "gross ghost proboscis." |
| 227 | * HonestCorporateExecutive: In contrast to Trump, he "owns the railroads" but he says that wealth in the heart is more important than wealth in the wallet. |
| 228 | * NiceGuy: Talks about the importance of having a rich heart. |
| 229 | * SignatureHeadgear: He wears a ''huge'' top hat of the type common among rich men of his time. |
| 230 | * TokenGoodTeammate: He's the least aggressive or confrontational of any of the ghosts that visit Scrooge. |
| 231 | * UnclePennybags: Considerably more friendly and cheery than Trump or Scrooge. He's even the inspiration for the TropeNamer, as he points out. |
| 232 | |
| 233 | !!Music/KanyeWest, The Ghost Of What's Right Now |
| 234 | -> '''Played by:''' [=DeStorm=] Powers |
| 235 | ->''"Just take a lesson from Yeezy!"'' |
| 236 | ---- |
| 237 | * AWildRapperAppears: A unique example to this series in that he is the first ''character'' who is known for rapping to appear in the series (not counting the Epic Peter vs. Nice Lloyd battle, where they obviously play as themselves). |
| 238 | * HellBentForLeather: He's shown wearing the letter jacket [[ManInAKilt and matching leather kilt]] from his "Black Skinhead" video. |
| 239 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: If you are in the crowd who sees the ''real'' Kanye West as an InsufferableGenius, then he falls into this category in this battle, due to calling Scrooge out on his selfishness and suggesting he share his money with the homeless. |
| 240 | * ManInAKilt: Again, like the "Black Skinhead" video, Kanye's wearing a black leather kilt over black jeans. The kilt functions similarly to the Ghost of Christmas Present's robe, as Kanye lifts it up to reveal Ignorance and Want. |
| 241 | * ThePowerOfFriendship: He states that there is more to life than money and that Scrooge should have asked for friends. |
| 242 | * ScaryBlackMan: Scary enough to finally make Scrooge take his hauntings seriously. |
| 243 | * SunglassesAtNight: Since he's wearing the outfit from his "Black Skinhead" video, he's shown wearing his CoolShades indoors in a scene set late at night. |
| 244 | |
| 245 | !![[TheGrimReaper Death]], The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come |
| 246 | -> '''Played by:''' Peter Shukoff |
| 247 | ->''"Boo! You're gonna die!"'' |
| 248 | ---- |
| 249 | * BrutalHonesty: He doesn't mince words when telling Scrooge about what's to come. |
| 250 | -->'''''"You're gonna die!"''''' |
| 251 | -->'''''"With no one to love you and no one to cry!"''''' |
| 252 | * DemBones: He looks like a living skeleton. |
| 253 | * DontFearTheReaper: Downplayed. While he looks scary and talks about Scrooge's imminent death, he comes across as more 'punisher of the wicked' than 'evil spirit'. If Scrooge weren't a selfish man, they wouldn't be having this conversation. |
| 254 | * TheGrimReaper: A ghoul in a BlackCloak that tells Scrooge of his impending death. |
| 255 | * GoodIsNotNice: He's on the same mission as the other ghosts, to redeem Ebeneezer's soul, but is the least pleasant among them. Considering his allies include Donald Trump and Kanye West, that's saying something. |
| 256 | * JumpScare: He gives one to Scrooge with a "boo!" from behind him. |
| 257 | * KnightOfCerebus: He has no humourous quirks and serves as the figure that ultimately puts Scrooge on the right path. He introduces himself by appearing behind Scrooge and saying "boo" but that's as funny as he got. |
| 258 | * LargeHam: For lacking lungs, he has a big presence. |
| 259 | * MoodWhiplash: Immediately follows Kanye, even piggybacking off of his beat, but his rhymes couldn't be farther apart in tone. |
| 260 | * NightmareFuel: In-universe. The threat that Scrooge will die alone and unmourned, regretting the miserable life he led, and responsible for Tiny Tim's death, is a terrifying enough prospect to cement Scrooge's HeelFaceTurn. |
| 261 | * SicklyGreenGlow: His background is a swirling green miasma. |
| 262 | * SuddenlySpeaking: In contrast to his usual portrayal as TheVoiceless, here he's a rasping, guttural baritone with a VoiceOfTheLegion who speaks BrutalHonesty from start to finish. It's quite intimidating. |

| 274 | * CarFu: Threatens to run over Rick with his Aztec. |
| 275 | * ComedicUnderwearExposure: Proudly shows off his mighty Tighty Walter Whities! It is funny but he is not making a joke. |
| 276 | * ConsummateLiar: According to Rick, who says he lies all the time. |
| 277 | * EvilGenius: A world-class, super-intelligent chemist turned drug lord. As Rick says, he misuses his own intellect for criminal purposes. |
| 278 | * EvilGloating: Done in his first verse, when he brags about his criminal career and [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections how he's gotten away with it.]] |
| 279 | * EvilSoundsRaspy: He's a meth kingpin and EvilGenius raps in a deep raspy voice. |
| 280 | * GoFetch: Gets rid of the zombie closing in on him by showing it a bag of drugs and throwing it away from from him, making the zombie go after it. |
| 281 | * GuileHero: Always "Hatching little schemes like a dying Series/{{MacGyver|1985}}", according to Rick. |
| 282 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He mocks Rick about how his wife cheated on him, conveniently forgetting that his own wife also had an affair. |
| 283 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Defends himself from a zombie with his trademark Blue Sky, and threatens to kill Rick by liquefying him in a barrel and mowing him down with his car. |
| 284 | * JerkassHasAPoint: He's an asshole about it, but his comments on Rick's leadership skills aren't far off the mark. |
| 285 | * KubrickStare: He dolls out a fierce stare in his first verse. |
| 286 | * NervesOfSteel: When a zombie lunges at him, he barely flinches and instead taunts it...with drugs and uses them to lure it away. |
| 287 | * PungeonMaster: He gets two of 'em in at Rick: |
| 288 | -->'''Walter: (verse one)''' "'Cause you're a loser! A failure to your whole entire crew. I've seen Walter Jr. handle [[NotUsingTheZWord "Walkers"]] better than you!" |
| 289 | ** The other comes at the end of his second verse: |
| 290 | -->'''Walter:''' "I'll bury you faster than your partner stole your whole life. No one saw Shane [[DoubleEntendre 'coming']], except for your wife." |
| 291 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Walt delivers a scathing one to Rick during the second half of his first verse: |
| 292 | -->'''Walter''': ''(points at Rick)'' "Here's a hot dose. Let me watch you choke on the truth: |
| 293 | -->"YOU look up to ME, like I'm a pizza ON THE ROOF!" |
| 294 | -->"Cos' you're a loser! [[FailureHero A failure]] to your whole entire crew." |
| 295 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Walt not only admits to being a crime lord, he gloats about it and the reason he's able to get away with it: |
| 296 | -->'''Walter:''' [[DiabolicalMastermind "I'm a Kingpin."]] ''(cooking crystal [[RefugeInAudacity in the middle of the day]])'' |

| 306 | * ActionHero: Effortlessly dispatches three zombies creeping up on him, and doesn't even break his performance at all. |
| 307 | * BadassBoast: |
| 308 | -->''"I kill zombies that are better men than you before breakfast!"'' |
| 309 | * GoodParents: His first words in both verses are concern for his son, Carl. He also declares that he's going to show White "how to be a real dad." |
| 310 | * ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask: Very similar to Clint Eastwood, he casually guns down 3 zombies while rapping at White. |
| 311 | * FailureHero: Rick's leadership ability gets mocked by Walter, who points out how his morality causes more harm than good and specifically notes how Michonne has to bail him out each time. |
| 312 | -->'''Walter:''' "Your [[GoodIsDumb sense of duty]] gets your group [[DidntThinkThisThrough into some deep doody!"]] |
| 313 | -->"Always [[TheLoad gettin' saved]] by some samurai booty." |
| 314 | * HatOfAuthority: Has his sheriff hat on the whole time. |
| 315 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: He introduces himself as, "a post-apocalyptic cop who's got a lot of issues." |
| 316 | * HonorBeforeReason: Watler claims that Rick's sense of duty keeps getting his crew in trouble. |
| 317 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: Seen when he casually dispatches several zombies halfway into his second verse. Rick drops each of them with a single headshot, [[ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask without ever taking his eyes off Walter.]] |
| 318 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Rick is dead serious for most of the battle, minus the parts where he can be seen dancing in the background, or pop locking during his verse. |
| 319 | * OohMeAccentsSlipping: The second time he shouts "Carl!" it's done the same way as the Announcer speaks. |
| 320 | * PapaWolf: He calls Walter out on his parenting, especially how he lies to Skyler. |
| 321 | * ThePigPen: Has sweaty armpits and is proud of it! |
| 322 | * SayMyName: "Carl!" |
| 323 | * SouthernFriedPrivate: His Southern drawl is quite thick, and his ImprobableAimingSkills hint at a CowboyCop side to him. |
| 324 | * StealthInsult: He calls Walter a ''lab rat'' in his first verse. Think about it... |
| 325 | * StealthPun: Near the beginning of his first verse, Rick cleverly refers to himself "a Grade A MC"[[note]]''Series/TheWalkingDead'' airs on the AMC channel[[/note]]. |
| 326 | * WhatTheHellHero: He calls out White on how he tore his family apart and his infamous SlowlySlippingIntoEvil. |

| 332 | -> '''Played by:''' [[WebVideo/EqualsThree Ray William Johnson]] |
| 333 | -> '''Krillin Played by:''' Peter Shukoff |
| 334 | ->''"You can't flow to Son Goku; I Kaio-ken get it done!"'' |
| 335 | ---- |
| 336 | * AdaptationalJerkass: In the source material, Goku, even when angry, doesn't stoop to lows such as insulting dead people or banging another man's girl. In the rap battle, he absolutely does both, using Christopher Reeeve's paralysis as a dig at Superman and saying he'll sleept with Lois Lane. |
| 337 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Goku's first hairstyle is black (as it is in any other medium), but its shape is the same as his hair when he turns Super Saiyan (which is blonde). So technically, his hair manages to avert this and play it straight over the course of the battle. |
| 338 | * AnimeHair: Standing tall, proud, and spiky. |
| 339 | * BadassBoast: "There's only one way this battle's gonna end: [[Creator/ChristopherReeve One more]] Superman who's never gonna walk again!" |
| 340 | * BattleAura: For all of the battle he is glowing with power up or super sayian light. |
| 341 | * BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Since Superman takes a shot a Goku by bragging he'd bang his wife, Chichi, Goku retaliates in his next verse by saying he'd do the same thing to Superman's LoveInterest, ComicBook/{{Lois|Lane}}! |
| 342 | -->'''Goku: (at Superman)''' "I'll report to Lois Lane and Superman that HO!" |
| 343 | * BoringInsult: Goku mocks Superman's InvincibleHero status as boring, as well as his ridiculous weakness being [[KryptoniteFactor green rocks]]. |
| 344 | * ChekhovsGunman: Krillin's name was [[PersonAsVerb used as an insult]] by Superman in the opening verse before he himself appears in Goku's. |
| 345 | * ClothingDamage: His clothes are already tattered. When he transforms to Super Saiyan, his outer shirt gets completely destroyed by Superman's eye beams. |
| 346 | * DumbJock: Invoked, as Superman calls him a "constipated jock" and makes shots at his lack of intelligence. It should be noted that in the source material, Goku is very much an IdiotHero. |
| 347 | * TheDogBitesBack: After being [[PersonAsVerb used as an insult]] by Superman, Krillin appears to assist Goku in his first verse. |
| 348 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: His eyes turn a noticeably glowing blue when he goes Super Saiyan. There are two shots during the battle that focus on them and they're rather creepy. |
| 349 | * HotBlooded: His very first line is partly about him pumping himself up. |
| 350 | * HypocriticalHumor: He stated that Superman's powers are boring while possessing the same boring superpowers in his fight-styles. |
| 351 | * IncomingHam: His first two lines, which he screams at the top of his lungs. |
| 352 | * LargeHam: He shouts all of his lines while powering up. |
| 353 | * NoSell: Superman attempts to hit him with heat vision right as Goku goes Super Saiyan and only causes ClothingDamage. Goku even calls him on it. |
| 354 | --> "Defeat ''me'' with heat beams? You're crazy." |
| 355 | * PrecisionFStrike: "[[FlyingBrick YOUR POWERS HAVE BEEN BORING SINCE THE NINETEEN-FUCKING-FORTIES]]!" It's the only time either character uses an obscenity in said battle. |
| 356 | * RaceLift: Technically averted. Goku has the physical traits of an Asian person, and he's played by a part-Asian actor (Indian, to be specific). However, given that Goku is an alien, race isn't crucial to the character's appearance. |
| 357 | * ScreamingWarrior: Superman [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lampshade]] on it. |
| 358 | --> "Your rapping is weaker than your fight scenes. Just one punch and [[MemeticMutation over nine thousand]] screams!" |
| 359 | * SpeakIllOfTheDead: He brings up the late Creator/ChristopherReeve's tragic accident during the rap's finale and brags that this Superman will suffer the same fate. |
| 360 | --> "There's only one way that this battle's gonna end, one more Superman who is never gonna walk again!" |
| 361 | * SuperMode: He goes Super Saiyan midway in his first verse. |
| 362 | * TeenyWeenie: Superman thinks he wears "hammer pants" to hide his tiny genitals. |
| 363 | * UnstoppableRage: [[FridgeBrilliance Just like when he fought Frieza,]] he's furious from the start of his verse. Superman's first verse must have truly pissed him off. |
| 364 | |
| 365 | !! Franchise/{{Superman}} & ComicBook/JimmyOlsen |
| 366 | -> '''Superman Played by:''' Lloyd Ahlquist |
| 367 | -> '''Jimmy Olsen Played by:''' Peter Shukoff |
| 368 | ->''"Greasy, slick emcee from DC!"'' |
| 369 | ---- |
| 370 | * AdaptationalJerkass: In the source material, Superman, even when angry, doesn't stoop to lows such as making light of a national tragedy, racism, or banging another man's wife. In the rap battle however, he makes light of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, dismisses Goku's adoptive parents as primitive and idiots, and claims he'll have sex with Chi-Chi. |
| 371 | * BerserkButton: Downplayed. He smiles through the entire battle against Goku and only frowns when the Saiyan brings up that he lost to Franchise/{{Batman}}, and only then does Superman turn around to engage Goku in AirJousting. |
| 372 | * CameraFiend: Jimmy Olsen is seen with his trusty camera. |
| 373 | * CatchPhrase: A variant on "This looks like a job for Superman!" appears in the battle. |
| 374 | * CrackDefeat: Goku mocks him over the fact that, despite all his powers, he somehow still once lost a fight to Franchise/{{Batman}}. |
| 375 | * EyeBeams: He uses them in an (unsuccessful) attempt to stop Goku reaching Super Saiyan. |
| 376 | -->'''Goku''': "Defeat ''me'' with heat beams? You're crazy!" |
| 377 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Criticizes Goku for having a complicated plot. But as Goku points out in his first verse, Superman’s story has been rewritten '' A LOT, '' so in a sense, '' he’s '' the one with the real complicated plot. At least in the Manga/DragonBall series follows the plot in order, while Superman is constantly {{Retcon}}. |
| 378 | * IBangedYourMom: A variant; he bragged to Goku that he'll screw his wife Chi-Chi. Goku retaliated that he'll do the same to Lois Lane, Superman's LoveInterest. |
| 379 | * InsufferableGenius: He insults the Saiyans as being intellectually primitive while alluding to the super-intelligence common to Kryptonians. |
| 380 | * KryptoniteFactor: Goku states "There's nothing fun about a superhero scared of GreenRocks." |
| 381 | * MaliciousMisnaming: At the end of his first verse, he takes a stab at Goku's Saiyan name (Kakarot) by calling him a Karrot. In the source material, Goku [[DoNotCallMePaul hated his Saiyan name and insisted that his true name is Goku]]; he only allowed Vegeta to call him Kakarot because he was too stubborn to change. |
| 382 | * PersonAsVerb: Superman claims Goku is "Krillin it" in a reference to Krillin's ButtMonkey status. |
| 383 | * PoliticallyIncorrectHero: "Who's got the rap bombs to drop on Japan". He also makes a joke about Goku having "tiny genitals". |
| 384 | * PungeonMaster: Both his verses are riddled with DBZ references, puns, and in-jokes. From telling Goku he'd make his nose bleed like [[DirtyOldMan Roshi sniffing panties]], to sneaking in a TitleDrop while pointing at his crotch when he tells Goku: |
| 385 | -->'''Superman: (imitating DBZ narrator)''' "From Z to GT, you can [[Anime/DragonBallZ DRAGON BALL DEEZ!"]] |
| 386 | * {{Retcon}}: Goku laments his series' constant use of these. |
| 387 | --> ''"HOW MANY TIMES ARE THEY GONNA REWRITE YOUR STORY?!"'' |
| 388 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Done with increasingly small gestures between his thumb and index finger for emphasis: |
| 389 | -->'''Superman: (at Goku)''' "One breath, I'll freeze your whole measly species." |
| 390 | -->"You're primitive and limited. You live in a village of idiots." |
| 391 | -->"Step in Metropolis, I'll snap [[MaliciousMisnaming a Karrot.]] Period." |
| 392 | * SayMyName: Jimmy Olsen's only line is saying Superman's name. |
| 393 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He flies into the sky at the end of his second verse more than likely figuring he'd won. Goku chases him. |
| 394 | * ShoutOut: In his second verse, he alludes to Vegeta's [[MemeticMutation "It's OVER 9,000!!" scene]] by doing a dead-on Vegeta impersonation; complete with pretending to crush an imaginary scouter. |
| 395 | -->'''Superman: ([[SmugSuper smug laugh]])''' "Haha! Your rapping is weaker than your fight scenes. Just one punch -" |
| 396 | -->'''Superman: (imitating Vegeta)''' "-and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsDDXSmGJZA OVER 9,000 SCREAMS!!"]] |
| 397 | * SmugSuper: He seems to be channeling SuperDickery Superman. The guy even stops to pose for a quick photograph mid-battle and just check the smirk on his face during both verses. Especially the part where he mentions what he'd do to Goku's wife, Chichi! |
| 398 | * TransformationSequence: He changes from his Clark Kent disguise during the title card. |
| 399 | * UnderwearOfPower: Goku mocks him for wearing these, and says that he can see Superman's camel toe. |

| 406 | ---- |
| 407 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He claims he'll always have more fame, money, talent and success than Poe could hope to achieve. |
| 408 | * AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: [[invoked]] Boasts about just how quickly he can pump out best-selling books. |
| 409 | * BadassBookworm: He is the current dominant name in horror writing, and one of the most prolific authors to have ever lived. |
| 410 | * BoringInsult: He ''yawns'' during Poe's first verse and several of his own lines are about how Poe's work isn't scary. |
| 411 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: He finishes off the rap by mimicking [[Literature/TheRaven The Raven's]] "nevermore". |
| 412 | * CantCatchUp: Ends his second verse claiming that Poe's reputation and wealth will always be less than his. |
| 413 | --> ''"Fame? Money? Talent? Success? You'll always have less, [[Literature/TheRaven never more]]!"'' |
| 414 | * ColdHam: King has Sherwin's signature manic energy and constant wide-eyed expression, but he never raises his voice above a creepy whisper. |
| 415 | * DeadpanSnarker: His rants against Poe drip with sarcasm. |
| 416 | * {{Doorstopper}}: He brags about his huge pile and equally huge books and threatens to [[ThrowTheBookAtThem smack]] Poe with them. |
| 417 | * EveryoneHasStandards: A grown man perving on their thirteen year old cousin is too disturbing for him. In fact, he finds that creepier than anything Poe has written. |
| 418 | * GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: He does this to Poe when mocking him for his opium addiciton, to the point where Poe has to back away to keep King's finger from jabbing him in the face. |
| 419 | * GloryHound: Poe takes a potshot at his tendency to do {{Creator Cameo}}s. |
| 420 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Slams Poe for his opium addiction and alcoholism despite having the exact same problems himself. He also chastised Poe for marrying his thirteen year old cousin, despite King himself writing a group sex scene involving adolescents. |
| 421 | * NonchalantDodge: Simply leans back to avoid Poe's flurry of bats. |
| 422 | * PaedoHunt: Not in his own battle, amusingly enough - Season 6's ''Joker vs Pennywise'' has the former calling him out on the infamous scene from ''Literature/{{It}}''. |
| 423 | -->'''The Joker, to Pennywise:''' Tell your author for his next gangbang scene:\ |
| 424 | How about a little more PG and a lot less 13?\ |
| 425 | [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even I wouldn't stoop to that kind of impropriety!]]\ |
| 426 | This is Earth, you space demon. We live in a society! |
| 427 | * PopCulturedBadass: Not only does he references a lot of his own famous books in his verses like ''Literature/{{Misery}}'', ''Literature/TheRunningMan'' and ''Literature/TheShining'', he mentions Poe's books and ''Franchise/KungFuPanda''. |
| 428 | * PresentAbsence: He did not appear during the Joker vs. Pennywise in Season 6, but he and his works are mentioned ''a lot''. After all, he is Pennywise's author. |
| 429 | * PungeonMaster: Much of his first verse plays on the titles of his novels for several lines straight. |
| 430 | * SmugSmiler: He has a smug smile throughout the battle while bragging about his success as an author. |
| 431 | * ThrowTheBookAtThem: He's got a lot of [[{{Doorstopper}} "big thick books"]] that he'd love to smack Poe with. He wrote all of them. |
| 432 | * ToiletHumour: One of his lines emphasizes the fact that "poo" sounds similar to Poe's name. |

| 441 | * AttackAnimal: Sends a colony of bats at King at the end of his second verse. |
| 442 | * BadassBookworm: He was the pioneer of the modern horror genre. |
| 443 | * CantCatchUp: Points out that, no matter how popular King's books are, they'll never come close to Poe's own groundbreaking work ("You'll never be near me!"). He's the Horror Lord, after all. |
| 444 | * CreepyShadowedUndereyes: He has these, likely as a result of his difficult life. |
| 445 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Had a very unhappy history and he claims experience makes his work superior to King's. |
| 446 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Dark brown hair, pale skin, and the architect of modern horror. |
| 447 | * {{Emo}}: King lampoons him as being one. |
| 448 | --->'''King''': You wanna talk shop, you gothed-out fop? Go back to Hot Topic and shop for a top. |
| 449 | * {{Goth}}: King pokes fun at his style of dress as being "gothed-out fop", and tells him to go back to Hot Topic. Considering that Poe practically invented the genre of gothic literature, this isn't all that surprising. |
| 450 | * GothsHaveItHard: King refers to him as a goth, and he had a terrible life which inspired his horrific stories. |
| 451 | * KissingCousins: King notes that Poe married his own cousin when she was 13 and he was 27. |
| 452 | * LargeHam: Poe's melancholy is often very melodramatic, especially how he screams in agony when he raps. |
| 453 | * MotorMouth: During his second verse, his speed greatly increases. |
| 454 | * PretenderDiss: Points out that while King wrote about families torn apart and crippling tragedies, often as allegories for his struggles with alcohol, Poe's life was far more troubled and tragic. He also calls King a faux Creator/BramStoker. |
| 455 | * RedBaron: Calls himself "The Horror Lord". |
| 456 | * SlasherSmile: He does one during his first verse, where he talks about choking King, and it's both creepy and hilarious at the same time. |
| 457 | * TrueArtIsAngsty: In-universe example. He believes his works have more weight because they were written from a place of sorrow, misery, and genuine fear, while King just writes horror because he enjoys it. |

| 468 | -->'''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!"]] |
| 469 | ** The second is [[TakeThat a pointed one]], which clearly intimidates Nye: |

| 472 | * BrokenAce: Nye points out that while he was an accomplished scientist, he never married, had only a few friends, and overall a lousy personal life. |

| 474 | -->''You wrote the book on gravity, but you couldn't attract no body!'' |

| 476 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: As Bill Nye references, he may have died of mercury poisoning he brought upon himself. |
| 477 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He criticizes Bill Nye for "[wasting] time debating creationists", despite the fact that he himself was a fairly outspoken one. |

| 492 | * ButtMonkey: It's no secret he's a bit outclassed, even though he had some good lines. [[spoiler:Even his own teammate is somewhat condescending towards him.]] |
| 493 | -->'''Newton''': Of all the scientific minds in history, they put [[Series/TheMuppetShow Beaker]] in a bowtie up against ''me''?! |
| 494 | -->'''[[spoiler:Tyson]]:''' [[spoiler:Why don't you pick on a brain your own size?]] |
| 495 | * JokeCharacter: He 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 [[spoiler: requiring a teammate to bail him out.]] He visibly cringes away from Newton's second verse, does poses behind [[spoiler: Tyson]] like a wimpy kid hiding behind his tough friend, and the "Who Won?" dance is Newton and [[spoiler: Tyson,]] with Nye in the background. |
| 496 | * NiceGuy: The other interpretation; he spends half of his verse praising his opponent. Then again see BitchInSheepsClothing. |
| 497 | * OldShame: [[invoked]] Newton thinks he's a joke because he was on a silly children's show and Nye insists that he's doing other stuff now. |
| 498 | * ThePowerOfFriendship: Seems to be a running theme with him and [[spoiler:Tyson. Tyson jumps in to help him 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. |

| 505 | %%** In the Behind the Scenes, Peter said he based his voices for Darth Vader and Santa Claus and any time he does a deep voice is him "trying to channel the spirit of Chali 2na". |
| 506 | * BigDamnHeroes: Intervenes when Nye seems a bit too intimidated by Newton's MotorMouth. |
| 507 | * BlackAndNerdy: A self-proclaimed Astrophysics Black Guy. |
| 508 | * {{Irony}}: His [[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. |
| 509 | * SoulBrotha: He "put the swag back in science." |
| 510 | * SpecialGuest: Chali 2na, ladies and gents! [[note]]Incidentally, the ''real'' Neil [=DeGrasse=] Tyson said he wished they had asked him to do it, as he would have said yes.[[/note]] |

| 514 | !! UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington |
| 515 | ->'''Played by:''' Peter Shukoff |
| 516 | ->''"I got a state and a day and a DC!"'' |
| 517 | ---- |
| 518 | * AscendedExtra: In Season 1, he was a cameo in "Ben Franklin vs Billy Mays". In this season, he's got his own rap battle against William Wallace. |
| 519 | * AuthorityEqualsAssKicking: The ''very first'' President of the United States. If that's not enough, he was also [[FourStarBadAss general of the Continental Army]]. |
| 520 | * AxCrazy: Seems to relish the thought of cutting Scottish throats a bit too much. |
| 521 | * CombatPragmatist: Makes no bones about his willingness to attack a man while he's sleeping. |
| 522 | * CulturalPosturing: Points out that his country's known for being a superpower, while Wallace's is known for golf and haggis. |
| 523 | * DancingRoyalty: Claims to have the "best moves at the ball" while doing a little twirl, and his motions are noticeably more "choreographed" than his opponent's throughout the battle. TruthInTelevision: contemporary accounts described George Washington as a great dancer. |
| 524 | * TheDandy: He brags about his nice clothes, comparing them to PimpDuds, and calls himself "fabulous from [his] head to [his] shoe buckle". William Wallace retorts that his "blousy outfit" makes him look stiff, and that it was made using slave labor. |
| 525 | * {{Eagleland}}: A mixed flavor. Sure, he claims to be a great hero and boasts that the meaning of the American flag is "power", but he's also obnoxious, self-aggrandizing, and threatens to kill his opponent while he's sleeping. |
| 526 | * EarlyBirdCameo: He first appeared in Ben Franklin's battle. |
| 527 | * FourStarBadAss: General of the Continental Army. |
| 528 | * GeneralFailure: Wallace says he's a horrible tactician and this is why the British Army didn't want him. |
| 529 | * GroinAttack: Threatens to give a knee to Wallace's "Moose Knuckle". Wallace even covers up his groin in response to the threat. |
| 530 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Wallace likes to bring up the fact that he owned slaves (though in real life, he set them free after his and Martha's deaths- and couldn't have done so earlier, as a large portion of them were actually 'dower slaves' owned by Martha). |
| 531 | -->'''Wallace''': You died owning slaves. I died setting men free! [[{{Pun}} Scot-free!]] |
| 532 | * LargeHam: He has NoIndoorVoice and is very expressive and energetic when he raps against Wallace. |
| 533 | * SlobsVersusSnobs: The snob to Wallace's slob, "powdered prick" in a "little blousy outfit" and such, though he's pretty rough-and-tumble himself. |
| 534 | * TheStoner: Invoked; William Wallace says that if Washington thinks he can beat him, he must have been smoking some of the hemp he grows on his farm (which was actually for making ropes). |
| 535 | |
| 536 | !! [[Film/BraveHeart William Wallace]] |
| 537 | ->'''Played by''': Lloyd Ahlquist |
| 538 | ->''"I pop my kilt, strap my sword in my hilt, step on the battlefield, and I'm ready to kill!"'' |
| 539 | ---- |
| 540 | * AnachronismStew: Appears with his face painted in woad like he was a Pict or something. He's also shown wearing a kilt, even though he died long before those even existed. |
| 541 | * {{BFS}}: Brings his giant claymore to the battle. |
| 542 | * BilingualBonus: He shouts "Scotland forever!" in Gaelic at one point. |
| 543 | * BraveScot: But of course! "That's the Highland Way." (The real Wallace was not a Highlander incidentally. He was a feudal lord and class-wise had more in common with the English than Creator/MelGibson would have you believe). |
| 544 | * CoolSword: His claymore is really big and ornate. |
| 545 | * EverythingsLouderWithBagpipes: Naturally, these are heard in the background when Wallace is rapping. |
| 546 | * GoingCommando: George Washington mocks him for not wearing underwear. |
| 547 | * HistoricalHeroUpgrade: The rap battle uses Mel Gibson's Braveheart and plays him off a non-movie Washington. The real Wallace was a serf-owning feudal lord who thought nothing of murdering English peasants and villagers in his campaign to sack the city of York (which he failed to reach in life). |
| 548 | * {{Hypocrite}}: |
| 549 | ** Wallace mocks Washington's slave ownership twice, but slavery (just not always African) was both practiced and legal in Scotland before and while Wallace lived and for over 300 years after he died. |
| 550 | ** Wallace calls Washington a GeneralFailure, but historians consider Wallace a terrible commander who failed his only major objective and lost the only battle he was in command of. [[labelnote: Context]] While Wallace was present for the [[Film/{{Braveheart}} famous]] Battle of Stirling Bridge, historians credit that win to Andrew de Moray, the other Scottish leader at the battle, who was known to be a skilled commander. Moray was seriously injured in the battle and later died, however, leaving Wallace to amass all the fame and accolades for the victory.[[/labelnote]] |
| 551 | * InsultBackfire: Washington comments on his hanging, drawing and quartering, but he says he could still rap circles around Washington even if he was. |
| 552 | * ManInAKilt: A DummiedOut scene that only appeared on a Youtube commercial that aired in theaters showed Wallace lifting up his kilt and flashing George Washington, showing that he's wearing nothing underneath. |
| 553 | * RasputinianDeath: Both himself and Washington mention how he's hanged, drawn and quartered, and [[GroinAttack castrated.]] |
| 554 | * ScreamingWarrior: Louder and more violent than Washington. |
| 555 | * SlobsVersusSnobs: The slob to Washington's snob, what with the facepaint, the vulgar language, etc. |
| 556 | * TheThemeParkVersion: Next to a fairly accurate (if extra ax-crazy) rendition of Washington, we have Mel Gibson's Braveheart. |
| 557 | * ViolentGlaswegian: He really wants a piece of George Washington. |
| 558 | -->''"I'll knock you the fuck out, mate!"'' |
| 559 | * WhatTheHellHero: Towards George Washington being a slave owner. Specifically blasting him for wearing fancy clothes made with slave labor. |

| 568 | * BashBrothers: Four brothers who rap together and fight together. |
| 569 | * BrattyHalfPint: Donatello di Bardi dismisses them as this, saying they're "too immature" to know about the works of their opponents. |
| 570 | * TheGhost: They do not appear in the Joker vs. Pennywise in Season 6, but the former mentions them [[VillainRespect with reverence]]. |
| 571 | * KubrickStare: The Turtles pull off one ''hell'' of a DeathGlare as they start their verse. |
| 572 | * LetsGetDangerous: Master Splinter may have taught them not to rush to violence, but since he isn't around, the Turtles are cutting loose against their Renaissance namesakes: |
| 573 | -->'''TMNT:''' ''The wisdom of our master (Splinter!)\ |
| 574 | Taught us not to rush to violence (Master Splinter!)\ |
| 575 | But our master (Master Splinter!)\ |
| 576 | Ain't here, dudes!'' |
| 577 | * MartialPacifist: Master Splinter taught them to use their weapons, and he also taught them not to rush to violence. |
| 578 | * MythologyGag: |
| 579 | ** When Michaelangelo says "Ain't here, dudes!" we see the other turtles behind him, all of them with red bandanas. The original TMNT mirage comic had all the turtles sporting identical red bandanas. |
| 580 | ** One of Mikey's lines is "I can bebop and steady rock a mic, sucka'!", partly name dropping Bebop and Rocksteady. |
| 581 | * NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: The four artists they're rapping against. |
| 582 | * NintendoHard: Their first NES game, which their Renaissance namesakes reference. "We're like your NES game 'cause we can't be beat!" |
| 583 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: All the turtles make references to the accomplishments of their artist counterparts: Donnie claims to not know a lot about the Artists while referencing Donatello di Bardi's {{sculpture|s}} of Gattamelata, Leo mentions Leonardo's helicopter, Mikey uses the word "Sistine" which is a reference to Creator/{{Michelangelo}} painting the Art/SistineChapel, and Raph says he'll put the artists back in school, a reference to Creator/{{Raphael}}'s fresco "Art/TheSchoolOfAthens", the background of which serves as the artists' stage. |
| 584 | * SlobsVersusSnobs: The Turtles live in a sewer and become intelligent after coming into contact with radioactive ooze, while the Artists brushed shoulders with the Italian upper class. |
| 585 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pizza. After finishing their rap with "chowing on your tower made of pizza" Leo shouts for them to save him a slice. |
| 586 | * VillainRespect: The Joker's second verse during his battle with Pennywise in Season 6 suggests he thinks highly of them. |
| 587 | -->''"You lost to a turtle that wasn't even a ninja."'' |
| 588 | !! Artists in general |
| 589 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each artist wears the same color as the turtle named after them. |
| 590 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: All the artists except Leonardo da Vinci are only referred to by their first names. |
| 591 | * TrueCompanions: They seem to respect each other highly, as all of them (except Rafael) only enter the show after having been directly given the scene by another. |

| 599 | * RenaissanceMan: He calls himself one of the Renaissance's fathers. He's got "the classical technique", i.e. rapping technique. He also came up with a prototype helicopter 400 years before one was created, something Leonardo the turtle references. |

| 605 | * TheCasanova: He had a whole lot of affairs, so much that eventually died after a particularly exhausting session. |
| 606 | * NonstandardCharacterDesign: The only one of the Artists who doesn't have a beard. He died at the tender age of 37, compared to the other Artists, who died in their 60s or 80s. |
| 607 | * OutWithABang: His assistant said he "boned 'till he croaked" with his favorite mistress Margherita Luti. |

| 614 | * BlasphemousBoast: Claims himself to be a Rap God. |
| 615 | * HitlerCam: Used deliberately to make him look like "a giant" when he first appears. |
| 616 | * LargeHam: Makes up for being the shortest artist in the group by having NoIndoorVoice. |
| 617 | * TheNapoleon: For all his boasting of his size, he's the shortest of the Artists when seen side-by-side. |

| 625 | * LesserStar: His Ninja Turtle namesake doesn't know who he is or what his accomplishments are, while the other artists and their works were referenced. He retaliates by calling the Turtles immature. |
