History Funny / DeathBattleSeasonFour

* What prompts the battle: Ace steals a chicken leg for lunch, and Natsu is in [[JustForPun hot]] pursuit. Natsu demands that Ace returns the stolen food item. Cut to Ace, who ''already finished eating it''. And then, just to insult him further, ''eats the bone''.

--> '''Wiz''': This includes a weakness to [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles garbage trucks]]...\\

-->'''Boomstick:''' Good, freaking elephants had it coming for years. Never shut up! And someone always loses on Dhalsim's stage! [[note]]A group of elephants trumpets very loudly whenever someone loses on Dhalsim's stage in VideoGame/StreetFighterII.[[/note]]

* Boomstick notes that Vergil's uppercut while using Beowulf must mean he's a fan of ''VideoGame/StreetFighter''.
* When Sephiroth uses his Supernova, a clip of the cutscene attack animation that occurs from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' plays... and then there's an FFVII-styled info box with Vergil's name on it, his HP (at 9999/9999), and a Devil Trigger bar instead of a limit break bar. Nothing really comes up much with it, and the text styling looks slightly off compared to the info text styling in FFVII.

--> '''Wiz:''' Oh! Speaking of bad guys, I... still have to pay off the loan I took for my... latest experiment...\\
'''Boomstick:''' Bad guys? Who the hell did you take the loan from?\\
'''Wiz:''' *clears his throat, followed by a long beat* ... The Yakuza...\\

'''Boomstick:''' (after a long silence) [[DelayedReaction Holy shit!]]

* Nathan lampshades the situation he's forced to face every time he finds treasure.

''big chunks of the castle start falling from above''\\

* When describing the Megazord's strength, Boomstick mentions that it's strong enough to [[Film/PowerRangers2017 backhand someone into orbit]]. Wiz says that was oddly specific, in-of-itself a funny callback to Boomstick making the same observation during Deadpool-vs-Deathstroke's battle.

[[folder: Natsu vs. Ace]]

* In Natsu's preview, after Boomstick sees Natsu eat fire, he decides to go test out if he can gain magic from eating fire. Wiz is about to stop him, but then encourages him on. Predictably, poor Boomstick sets his mouth on fire. He learns his lesson the next week when Wiz wants to cut off his hands so he can have an ArmCannon.
* Natsu's introduction, explaining Natsu's childhood and abruptly "cuts off" right after his death by dragon:

* Boomstick wonders if Wiz is willing to [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifice himself to save Boomstick like Ace did for Luffy]].

* During the battle itself, both fighters are left flabbergasted at realizing what their opponent can do with fire.

* During the KO screen, Natsu gets kicked out of the town they were fighting in, landing face first in the dirt. The town is obviously not happy at the [[DestructiveSaviour destruction his and Ace's battle wrought]].

[[folder: Sub-Zero vs. Glacius]]
* In the Sub-Zero preview, Boomstick, after seeing Sub-Zero turn into a polar bear remembering that he needs to watch his neighbors pet polar bear.

[[folder: Android 18 vs. Captain Marvel]]

* When Boomstick shows some doubt that Android 18's backstory was going to complicated, Wiz assures him that he'll be brief about it. [[VisualPun Over a clip of Dr. Briefs.]]

* Carol's facial expression and squeak when 18 pulls her hair. She calls 18 out on it and reprimands her for fighting dirty while rapidly punching the air in anger.

[[folder: Metal Sonic VS. Zero]]

* Zero's backstory about the Maverick Virus infecting Sigma and [[MirrorMoralityMachine causing him to turn evil, while Zero's turned good]] causes Boomstick to liken it to a "robot Film/FreakyFriday1976". Cue image of Zero's and Sigma's faces pasted on Disney's poster for the Freaky Friday movie.

[[folder: Lucario VS. Renamon]]

[[folder: Balrog VS. TJ Combo]]

-->'''Boomstick:''' Damn! This friggin' guy is crazy! I mean, really, look at those eyes! That's the same look old grandpappy Boomstick had every time he came home with some fresh poultry dinner. [[DeathByIrony 'Til the damn chickens got him...]]

-->'''Boomstick:''' Good, frigging elephants had it coming for years, never shut up! And someone always loses on Dhalsim's stage! [[note]]A group of elephants trumpet very loudly whenever someone loses on Dhalsim's stage in VideoGame/StreetFighterII.[[/note]]

-->'''Boomstick:''' And TJ's go-to attack is his mighty Powerline. Wait a minute... isn't that the band from ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie''?\\

'''Boomstick:''' [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep Nickname? What the hell are you talking about?]]

* The in-universe justification for the fight changing from a traditional boxing match to a full out Death Battle? [[CuttingTheKnot Balrog punching out the ref.]]
* Balrog's head flying off of his body from TJ's final blow and landing onto the camera, breaking it and ending the broadcast.
-->'''Announcer:''' Excuse me! I've gotta hurl!\\

[[folder: The Shredder VS. Silver Samurai]]

-->'''Boomstick:''' While blinged out like [[Series/PimpMyRide Xizbit's rims]], he picked up on a few fighting styles. Not too many, just Bajutsu, the art of horseback; Bujitsu, military strategy; Iaijutsu, the sword-based quick draw; Tantojutsu, knife fighting; Ninjutsu, bein' sneaky; Kyujutsu, which is archery; and, well, Jujutsu and Karate Do, which are both forms of unarmed combat. God! How many more jutsus do you think he can fit in his brain? I didn't even know there were that many.\\

[[folder:Smokey VS [=McGruff=]]]

* They give the 90s even more hell when they point out that Smokey survived that period where he tried to rap.
* "Oh, [[CaptainObvious and in case you forgot]], '''[Smokey's] also ''[[BearsAreBadNews a goddamn bear]]'''''."

'''[=McGruff=]:''' ♪Cause nobodies needing that crack and cocaine, making a mess of your mind.♪\\

'''Kids:''' ♪Don't do inhalants.♪\\

'''Kids:''' ♪Smart kids say no.♪\\

* Once the hosts note that [=McGruff=] often doesn't actually get involved in stopping the crimes he witnesses, it becomes a RunningGag.

** This happens one more time when Smokey is about to finish off [=McGruff=] once and for all...

[[folder: Thor VS. Wonder Woman]]

[[folder: Naruto Uzumaki vs. Ichigo Kurosaki]]

* After Boomstick pokes fun at Naruto's usage of AirplaneArms when running, Wiz gives a scientific explanation as why the technique could actually be considered beneficial. Boomstick, unfazed, simply responds with mocking gibberish before recalling when Wiz apparently used to run like that in middle school.

* Wiz and Boomstick being unable to pronounce Yhwach's name, to the point that the latter simply refers to him as Mustache Man at one point.

-->'''Wiz''': Every Shinigami possesses a Zanpakuto spirit within themselves, which manifests as their sword. Ichigo's is called Zangetsu. [[HalfTruth ...well,]] ''both'' of them are.\\
'''Boomstick''': ''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oooooooh]]''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck , here we go...]] Strap in, cause this shit's about to get ''[[KudzuPlot crazy]]''...

* When Wiz was summing up the amount of gadgets and functions Terry's Batsuit had, he caps off the summary by [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking including the "retractable tweezers" at the end]] and Boomstick even acknowledges the practicality of them too.

* Boomstick initially mistaking the Jokerz gang for a group of comedians.

-->'''Boomstick:''' He can survived getting stabbed through the lungs, intestines, the heart - body parts I'm pretty sure most people need.\\
'''Wiz:''' Not if my experiment has anything to say about it.\\

'''Wiz:''' [[VerbalBackspace I said]]... Not if Vergil's abilities have anything to say about it.

* When Sephiroth uses his Supernova, a clip of the cutscene attack animation that occurs from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' plays... and then there's a FFVII-styled info box with Vergil's name on it, his HP (at 9999/9999), and a Devil Trigger bar instead of a limit break bar. Nothing really comes up much with it, and the text styling looks slightly off compared to the info text styling in FFVII.

Aah! How many war jutsus do you think he can fit in his brain? I didn't even know there were that many.\\
'''Wiz:''' At least one more: Kenjutsu, the art of Japanese swordfighting.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[BlatantLies McGruff demonstrating why he's such a safe person to be around.]]]]

* In the preview for Bane, when they learn that Bane uses the serum [[NamesTheSame Venom]] to increase his strength, [[WhosOnFirst Boomstick is convinced]] that he's being pumped full of the ''symbiote'', not the drug.

-->'''Boomstick:''' And TJ's go-to attack is his mighty Powerline. Wait a minute...[[NamesTheSame isn't that the band from]] ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie''?\\

* When talking about Shredder's past as Oroku Saki and how he was in love with Tang Shen, but she had feelings for [[NamesTheSame Yoshi]], Boomstick clarifies that Shen was attracted to ''Hamato'' Yoshi, not "[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros the dinosaur,]] that'd be weird".

-->'''Wiz''': Every Shinigami possesses a Zanpakuto spirit within themselves, which manifests as their sword. Ichigo's is called Zangetsu. [[HalfTruth ...well,]] ''[[NamesTheSame both]]'' of them are.\\

* Funnily enough, the comments feature the team admitting to a piece of CriticalResearchFailure on how fast Android 18 can move. She's actually ''faster''.

* A meta one and HilariousInHindsight but because Metal Sonic already appeared in Eggman VS Wily, he had his own page on Website/ThatOtherWiki and as such on February 8th, a user posted a comment about how he wanted Metal Sonic to return to fight against "someone like Zero". A few months later and that's ''exactly'' what happens.

* What prompts the battle: Ace steals a chicken leg for lunch, and Natsu is in [[JustForPun hot]] pursuit. Ace demands that he returns the stolen food item. Cut to Ace, who ''already finished eating it''. And then, just to insult him further, ''eats the bone''.

* In the bio of Metal Sonic, Boomstick tries to sing the theme song from the [[WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM Saturday morning cartoon]]. It cuts to a scene of Rotor shaking his head in disbelief.

--->'''Lance:''' (''to Keith'') ''Finally'', if I don't see a dinosaur, I'm blaming you.

** Lance joking about the teams' current investigation.

** In the Glacius preview, Boomstick is impressed with the fact that Glacuis' [[{{Shoryuken}} Shatter move]] lets him [[GroinAttack punch people in the crotch]] from a distance, due to him considering it a valid way of asserting dominance. Which he gleefully demonstrates on Wiz.

* They make note of how Carol refused to listen when Tony Stark tried to tell her she had a drinking problem, and how bad it is when [[TheAlcoholic Tony Stark]] thinks you drink too much.
** For bonus points, this is being said by ''[[TheAlcoholic Boomstick]]. Between sips.''

* Wiz and Boomstick talking about how uncreative Renamon's attack names are. Also, their bafflement at how her "Diamond Storm" attack launches a barrage of razor-sharp... [[NonIndicativeName leaves]].
** When Wiz notes how it would make more sense if she were firing ''actual'' diamonds, Boomstick counters that if that were the case, and he were a Renamon, [[MundaneUtility he would cash those suckers in]], and use them to buy more bigfoot traps.

* Once Boomstick tries to joke that Renamon's expertise in hand-to-hand combat should be considered "paw-to-paw combat," the episode comes to a halt for a moment. A record scratch cuts the music short, and Renamon slips into the shadows to get away from the pun.
** Complete with a voice bubble containing an error message.

** Boomstick's family honoring grandpappy via an annual ritual chicken sacrifice/dinner.

** In fact, as Boomstick observes, the fight basically ended like Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, only Balrog's probably not getting his head reattached anytime soon.

** It's even better if you take Smokey's taunt as the Death Battle team saying "Yes, we're ''really'' doing this. No, you can't get us to ''not'' do this."
** [[HilariousInHindsight There's also the fact that during Shredder and Silver Samurai's fight, the two duke it out in a forest that's eventually engulfed in flames.]]

* Once the hosts note that [=McGruff=] often doesn't actually get involved in stopping the crimes he witnesses, it becomes a RunningGag. The fight itself starts with [=McGruff=] narrating as he watches an unattended campfire that quickly turns into a wildfire, followed by him nonchalantly deciding to leave without doing anything about it.

** Likewise, his inability to actually do anything but provide commentary when he stops time is mocked ruthlessly. Case in point, when he's in the middle of being chased by a pissed-off Smokey:

* In the Naruto preview episode, Wiz ''attempts'' to mimic Boomstick's voice, then shamefully says he's out of the room and he'll never do that again. Then, it turns out he was being used in an experiment to put in his own "stomach animal".
** This is followed up in Ichigo's where Wiz deadpans a "Yay" when Boomstick comes back.

* At the end of the Spider-Man 2099 preview, Boomstick proudly proclaims that he has purchased 3% of the world's supply of whiskey. As scenes of [[Series/TheFlash2014 Barry Allen knocking back a few shots in super speed]] and [[Film/SupermanIII Superman being drunk]] play.
** He tops that a moment later by admitting that he hadn't exactly ''purchased'' it.

* At the end of Diana's rundown, they cap it off not with a scene featuring the Princess of Themyscira dropping a notable quote or pulling off a badass maneuver, but with a clip of [[Series/WonderWoman her doing the infamous Wonder Woman spin to change into her costume.]]
