"It's fanmade! But still pretty cool!"

"Guy Fawkes vs. The Joker" is a song and Music Video created by FanMadeStuff and originally uploaded on February 16, 2013. It is based on the YouTube comedy channel Epic Rap Battles of History and stars historical figure Guy Fawkes and Batman's archnemesis The Joker.

What starts as a standard rap battle immediately turns into a very immature match of the two hurling sex jokes and Black Comedy Rape insults at each other.

It has since been taken down from the channel for unknown reasons, but it can still be viewed via a reupload here.

Not to be confused with a different rap battle with the same matchup by Fightmarker.

"Guy Fawkes? He's gay folks. Rapping with his small tropes"

  • Added Alliterative Appeal: Guy Fawkes uses a long string of words beginning with "V" in his second verse, to which the Joker responds with a long string of words beginning with the "J" sound.
    Guy Fawkes: I'm violently, violating, your vagina.
  • All for Nothing: Joker says that Fawkes' entire life was a complete waste and that latter only got famous because of his failed Gunpowder plot which resulted in the him getting hanged.
  • Ass Shove: Joker ends the battle by threatening to stick a knife up Fawkes' rectum.
  • Black Comedy Rape: Much of the humor revolves around both characters threatening each other with anal rape, sucking each others' balls, and generally just talking about shoving things up each others' orifices.
  • Composite Character: Guy Fawkes in this battle takes many elements from V from V for Vendetta (who is loosely based on Fawkes), such as the latter's fun alliteration and not being able to "bang Natalie Portman".
  • Depraved Bisexual: This version of Guy Fawkes is implied to be attracted to Natalie Portman but he also wants to brutally rape the Joker.
  • Depraved Homosexual: The Joker never brings up Harley Quinn, instead he's just obsessed with Batman and aims to rape Guy Fawkes.
  • Did Not Get the Girl: While the Joker admits he never defeated Batman, he points out that Guy Fawkes never got to bang Natalie Portman, a reference to V (someone based on Fawkes) never having sex with Evey, Natalie Portman's character in the film adaptation.
  • Double Meaning: Fawkes calls Joker "queer", both referring to how Joker is homosexual and the original meaning of "queer" which meant "odd", fitting for an infamous freak like Joker.
  • Evil Laugh: Joker starts his first verse by yelling "Woo hoo hoo! And here we go."
  • Hypocritical Humor: Fawkes and the Joker both call each other "gay" or "queer" as insults... while also threatening to sexually assault one another.
  • invoked Pop Culture Osmosis: Joker claims that Fawkes is more famous for the Anonymous/V masks modeled and named after him than his actual ideologies.
  • Queer People Are Funny: In-Universe, the Joker intends for the audience to laugh at Fawkes simply because the latter is gay.
  • You're Just Jealous: Joker accuses Fawkes of being jealous of him, as Joker claims to be a genius and that Fawkes can't stand someone being smarter than him.
