Recap / Freshy Kanal Boris Johnson Vs The Penguin

Go To

British politican Boris Johnson and Batman supervillain The Penguin run against each other for mayor of Gotham and their debate quickly turns into a rap battle.


This rap battle provides examples of:

  • Aspect Ratio Switch: The aspect ratio becomes thinner during Boris' grime scene.
  • Continuity Nod: The Borat Johnson lemur from "King Julien vs. King Louie" gets another cameo here, during the "Bojoker" line to be exact.
  • Hanlon's Razor: The Penguin accuses Boris of invoking this trope, adopting a bumbling persona so that people will atribute his malicious mistake to mere incompetence.
  • "Knock Knock" Joke: The ending credits features one between Penguin and Boris, except the person out there isn't any pun and just Penguin rubbing Boris' resignation on his face.note 
  • Shout-Out:
    • After forgetting what's supposed to be the final line of his first verse, Boris just compares Penguin to Peppa Pig.
    • Boris compares young Penguin's stature to The Kingpin if he has scoliosis.
  • Take That!:
    • Boris says that being considered the King of Gotham is basically the same thing as being the Mayor of Birmingham.
    • When calling Boris a pig, Penguin throws some shades towards David Cameron's dead-pig rumor.
  • Virgin-Shaming: Boris rather bluntly calls the Penguin a virgin, right before boasting about how much sex he’s had.

"Knock, knock."
"Who's there?"
"Not your life!"
"Oh."
