-->"BOO! You're gonna die, with no one to love you and no one to cry! Alone by yourself on the bed of your death, with the stench of regret on your last dying breath!"

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1vXC-vKgKg&lc=UgwD0_QJhuFk0Ql52J14AaABAg A comment]] on the video states they showed the video to [[https://historicalsociety.stanford.edu/publications/kaehler-alfred-e Alfred Edwin Khaeler]], who worked on the Manhattan Project when he was young, and he said that the performance was spot-on.

** Ironic because Tesla discovered alternating current, which almost all modern electrical appliances run on, including the computer - He could make the same claim even better than Edison could!

--> What's inside mine was ahead of it's own time!

** There's also this gem of a line by Ghandi:
-->'''Gandhi''': With [[FireHoseCannon protests]] and [[ReallyGetsAround women]]the same advice goes: always stay away from the [[DoubleMeaning ho's]].

--> '''Doc''':You don't get another change to debate/time to meet your permanent fate! Now Da-lick my balls!\\

--> '''Doc:''': You don't get another change to debate/time to meet your permanent fate! Now Da-lick my balls!\\

* The Ghostbusters combine their PowerWalk from the climax of the first movie with a diss of a Mythbusters staple.

Because there's no use in murdering you and your heathen.\\

We're in the Endgame now [[Series/{{Teletubbies}} Tinky Winky]], I'll finish this like ComicBook/AntMan, [[AssShove all up in your stinky]]!\\
Anyone who believes that [[DracoInLeatherPants Thanos did nothing wrong crap]] [[TakeThat has obviously never heard you rap]]!\\

-->'''Che:''' You tried to rebel against James the first.\\

* The fact that, despite all the bashing from Frankie, Freddie remains calm, collected and delivers some of the most epic lines in the history of ERB.

[[TakeThat You're losing so bad you should join]] [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Team Jacob]]!\\

-->'''Tarantino''': Due to ''Film/WarOfTheWorlds'', a failure is what I label you.

* A meta example: this battle is the first one to have input from [[AscendedFanboy a member of the rap battle community]], [=Mat4yo=], who helped with the writing. And for a (half) season premiere at that!

* Some meta-props to the ERB team's camera work. As detailed in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osGL5egLlQs behind the scenes video]], portraying Stevie Wonder provided a natural challenge because due to being blind (and his characteristic head sway), Stevie Wonder is always oblivious to ''where'' he should be actually looking, which is a problem in ERB, where all rappers look fiercely into the camera whilst delivering their verses. Their solution was using some pretty creative angles to circumvent that issue, like framing him sideways, DutchAngle, and having several spinning and/or panning shots, to both give him the required visual intensity and correctly portray his blindness.

* On a more meta level, this battle as a Crowning Moment of Awesome for Lloyd for his absolutely spot-on impression of Robin Williams.

** On a related note, the fact that despite it being Thanos's most infamous accomplishment, ''Openheimer'' is the one who closes out the battle by snapping. What might have been Thanos's best boast was subverted and turned back on him. Also a meta moment for not playing to expectations.

* Meta example: This battle was Youtube's #1 Trending on its release day.

* Meta-wise, the fact that in the end credits portion of the video, one commenter actually requested this rap battle '''''seven years ago!''''' Which meant that this battle was foreshadowed during the time when Biden was on his fifth year as Vice President, and Trump was ''nowhere near the US political scene!''
** In the same moment, the announcer caps off the battle with "YOU[[{{Beat}} ....]]LITERALLY DECIDE!"; considering the battle dropped a week and change before Election Day in the US, it's basically ERB saying "You can decide the outcome of the real version of this battle, so get out there and vote!"

* Through out his last verse, Boba Fett flips and breakdances. It looks spectacular, and it's also a meta moment for Flipz, the actor, who does all this while wearing Boba's armor

* "You can't rhyme against the Dark Side of the Force, why even bother? So many dudes been with YourMom, who even knows if I'm your father?"

* When Musa brags about being on the Axis of Catalan, cut to a view of said axis, with Musa prominently on display.

--> You bore people to death! You leave a classroom looking like [[KillEmAll the end of]] Theatre/{{Macbeth}}!

* Indiana's second werse is both technically impressive from the get-go, and scathingly points out her violence and lack of consideration for others.

* Indy gets things started on a bang or rather with a crack as before the announcer could begin the battle, he cracks his whip and does it himself.

Somebody needs to make a tomb for your old games!

That's why they dropped you like a J on the floor!'''

-->'''I've been served a full-course meal of chilled Indian voodoo\\

That's why they dropped you like a J in the floor!'''

-->'''Lara''': [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull You tried aliens]] [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade and chose poorly]].
