Recap / Freshy Kanal "Hot Ones vs. Binging with Babish"

Go To

An April Fools' Day special saw the host of Hot Ones Sean Evans rapping against the host of Binging with Babish Andrew Rea in a battle of food-related YouTube shows. However, the April Fools nature of this battle causes a rapper with two cooking videos to appear.


This rap battle provides examples of:

  • Amusing Injuries: Freshy Kanal's interruption only last briefly because Sean throws some sauce to his eyes. This abrupt injury is played for laughs.
  • Boring Insult: After the last of Sean Evans' raps, Rea calls them bedtime stories that almost put him to sleep.
  • I Banged Your Mom: The sight of Rea trying to put a phallic-looking cucumber through a donut helps sell this line.
    Andrew Rea: Put my key in your mom's turkey — that's How I Met Your Mother
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Sean is much more hot-tempered in his raps compared to the calm-voiced Rea.
  • Shout-Out: Andrew Rea calls Sean, Shaun the Sheep, during his last verse.
  • Stylistic Suck: To set the April Fools mood, some aspects of the battle are made to be bad, such as how the "VS" in the intro is too big while the "BEGIN" is too small. Sean Evans' scenes also use a cheap black background and low-quality lighting that far from resembles the Hot Ones set. Not to mention, the bald cap used to portray Sean is an incredibly obvious one.
