Recap / Epic Rap Battles Of History Jack The Ripper Vs Hannibal Lecter

Go To

The Real Life prowling Slasher of Victorian England Jack the Ripper (played by Dan Bull) versus Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter, the leading villain of the Hannibal Lecter franchise.


Tropes:

  • Attention Whore: Hannibal calls Jack the Ripper a "megalomaniac" for focusing more on building himself up than attacking him during his first verse, then calls him out for doing a reference to the 7 July 2005 London bombings as him "chas[ing] a headline."
    Hannibal Lecter: No no, Jack! You were doing fine
    Until that ham-fisted attempt at a terrorist line.
  • Do Wrong, Right: Hannibal's entire "thing" in the song.
    • Hannibal found Jack referring to the 7 July 2005 London bombings "ham-fisted."
    • Hannibal doesn't mind the perverted subtext of Jack going after Disposable Sex Workers. He just hates his gory methods.
      Hannibal Lecter: I don't mind that you're naughty Jack, I hate that you're sloppy.
  • Evil Versus Evil: It's one Serial Killer rapping against another.
  • Kubrick Stare: Hannibal almost always defaults to this position.
  • Slobs Versus Snobs: Jack is the "Slob", being a Serial Killer that hunts in the streets and goes after Disposable Sex Workers. Hannibal is the "Snob", being a Wicked Cultured cannibal who's criticisms toward Jack boil down to "take a shower, you filthy animal" and "Do Wrong, Right".
  • Take That!: Hannibal calls Jack the "Penny Dreadful version of O. J. Simpson" for killing women for not paying attention to him.
