Epic Rap Battles of Historyyyyyyy!

It's easy to talk fast when you have the benefit of editing, but it takes real talent to pull it off live.

Looked like Skrllex was the one struggling. I don't know the actors names well enough to know who plays who, but the Mozart did a great job.

Yeah, a good amount of the flow in several of the songs benefit heavily from the way the videos are editted together. It can be done live, but you definitely lose something in it.

I think that this one works decently works well live.

Look what the cat dragged back from the dead.

Man it looks like Chewbacca wiped his ass on your head.

OH GODDAMMIT. Hope he doesn't show up again.

The Mythbusters and the Ghostbusters will have a rap battle as either the premiere or the finale of this season.

SO MUCH HYPE.

Also, I hope that Mel Blanc VS. Don La Fontaine will happen this season.

I'm guessing season premier since they've been shown so early in a teaser.

I'm really curious if they can pull off the whole Ghostbusters team vs the Mythbusters team, or it will only be two Ghostbusters vs Adam and Jamie.

They had four Turtles vs Four Renaissance Painters.

Wait, how do we know that the Mythbuster will actually appear in a second video? (First was the cameo.) Also, why are the Ghostbusters being mentioned? My apologies if I sound annoying.

....Because Hitler gets sucked up into the Ghostbusters....Ghost trap.

Cool! Thank you.

Also, the boots, gloves and coveralls worn by the two people near the trap closely resemble Ghostbuster's uniform.

I still think the last season's finale is underwhelming. I'm still hoping they will do the whole team though, maybe putting in Janine in with the Ghosbusters to have a four dudes and a woman vs four dudes and a woman battle.

Eh, a little, yeah.

But the last line always gets me. "We'da T-M-N-T! Drop-kicking It-tah-ly! CHOWIN' on ya' TOWER made of PIZZA - save a slice for me!"

It was a shame that the artists had twice the number of lines, though.

They were good lines...

ERB tends to artificially create winners. EX: Freddie Mercury vs. Frank Sinatra.

@Karkat: Absolutely. Still unbalanced.
@Sharknado: Yeah, totally. Norris vs Lincoln, Beethoven vs Bieber, Genghis Khan vs Easter Bunny, Babe Ruth vs Lance Armstrong, Tesla vs Edison...

"Who won? Who's next? WE already decided."

Getting the last line tends to create the impression of a "victory" for many people, so they often give the person who goes first more lines to compensate.

Yeah, there's the basic human thought that if your argument doesn't get rebutted, you won. There are some who didn't get the last line and were definitely better, though (Wright Bros come to mind).

I always thought Gandalf beat up on Dumbledore and that Dumbledore's last verse was rather lame, so that's another one where getting the last word in didn't win.

Washington pwnt Wallace, seriously.

Goku vs Superman was pretty even, though, Goku's last line killed it.
