Machamp used Dab! It's super effective!

    open/close all folders 

    Miles Morales VS Static 
  • Both Miles and Static's previews end with Boomstick and Wiz respectively deciding to walk out of the preview for their own reasons.
  • Boomstick tells Miles that he should love his parents more because you never know when they'll pull a surprise "Uncle Ben". Comes up later when they talk about how his Uncle Aaron died right in front of him.
  • Boomstick questions why they would inject a super serum in a spider. Wiz hand-waves it by explaining that scientists can be weird.
    Boomstick: Maybe next time put it in something that can't walk away! It's got eight legs, that's like, four times more walking power!
  • Boomstick notes that the web-shooters would be perfect for getting a beer. When Wiz reminds Boomstick that Miles is a teenager, Boomstick counters that the laws should be different in his alternate universe.
  • Wiz goes over Miles's electric powers, including the time his Venom Sting managed to take out Electro.
    Wiz: But Miles didn't just shock him. He disrupted Electro's own charge. Similar to a miswiring sending too much electricity in one direction and shorting out your computer when somebody forgot to plug it into the surge protector!
    Boomstick: Wiz, you know I don't believe in protection for anything. It's going in raw.
  • While exploring how Static went to the main DC timeline after initially being from the separate Dakotaverse, Wiz brings out his prototype invention that looks into alternate dimensions. Boomstick excitedly presses the button, and the two momentarily swap sides in what has become "Fatality Kerfuffle", with Boomstick in Wiz's place in a torn lab coat and speaking in a verbose British accent, while Wiz wears Boomstick's cap and speaks in an Irish accent. Wiz throws the invention to the ground after normalcy is restored. Unfortunately for Wiz, it starts glitching out, and the episode ends with the alternate universe versions. Alt!Boomstick calls Alt!Wiz his fellow ultracrepidarian. Which means someone that offers opinions on subjects beyond their own knowledge.
  • Wiz talks about how Static threw three lockers filled with Quantum Juice out of orbit. While Wiz talks about the weight of the average locker, Boomstick notes that they can fit approximately one nerd.
  • The fight starts because apparently, Miles attacked Static. He reasons that he's "got more than one electric psychopath to keep track of".
  • We see Miles using the infamous "Hey..." moment from Into the Spider-Verse to use his Venom Sting on Static, blowing him into a wall. And before he does the latter we get a Freeze-Frame Bonus of Miles dabbing afterward.
  • Static uses his electromagnetic manipulation to disrupt Miles's wall-crawling powers. First to turn them off to stop him from sticking onto the building, then to keep him stuck so he's an easy target.
    Miles: Keep sticking, keep sticking! ...Stop sticking, stop sticking!
  • In the soundtrack for the fight, Miles boasts that he's "exploding through the air". Knowing how the fight ends...

    Black Canary VS Sindel 
  • Wiz explains the origins of Dinah's powers via the metahuman gene before Boomstick just interrupts by saying "A Wizard Did It!"
  • Boomstick notes that because Dinah is named after her mother, they could be considered a "Dinah-sty".
  • Wiz points out that Dinah Lance originally wore a blonde wig, but then decided to just dye it.
    Boomstick: Blonde? Don't you mean Yell-ow?
    Wiz: Ugh...
  • After all the kung-fu talk, Boomstick wants to see a judo canary in action. So he pulls out an actual canary to demonstrate its abilities. Who is its opponent? Wiz's two-headed cyborg goose from "Dragonzord vs Mechagodzilla", whom Boomstick has named Mecha Goose Howard.
    Wiz: Uh, did you teach it judo?
    [Mecha Goose Howard honks and vaporizes the canary with lasers from its mouths]
    Boomstick: So, uhh... Turns out they don't know judo. Where was the heads up on that one, Wiz?
  • Boomstick notes Black Canary's relationship with Oliver Queen/Green Arrow.
    Boomstick: They spent a lot of time sticking arrows in that quiver, if ya know what I mean... [Beat] They did sex.
  • The start of Sindel's rundown has Wiz doing a pun.
    Wiz: The realm of Edenia was a paradise. A Garden of Eden, if you will.
    Boomstick: You said that like it was supposed to be clever.
  • When Wiz explains how Edenia was overrun by Shao Khan and Mortal Kombat, Boomstick excitedly sings a theme tune in the background of Wiz's explanation about the event.
  • In Sindel's preview, Wiz wonders what "Tiger Pie" would taste like, only for Boomstick to go on about how delicious "Tiger Blood" is until he's told it's just a mix of cherry and strawberry snow cone sauce. Boomstick breaks down that he's been lied to and laments if duck sauce and spicy rooster sauce don't have either of those respective birds in it.
  • This moment when discussing Sindel's fighting prowess. Boomstick's comment is even funnier when you take into consideration that this episode's battle track, "Sirens of Combat", also missed an opportunity to spell "Kombat".
    Wiz: Sindel's Edenian physiology gives her superhuman strength, speed and durability, allowing her to make mincemeat of Mortal Kombat's regular combatants.
    Boomstick: You better have said that with a "K".
  • Boomstick thinks that Sindel's Prehensile Hair is actually kinda sexy.
    Wiz: Oh? Would you still think so if she used it to spin you like a top fast enough to obliterate your body?
    Boomstick: What a way to go...
    Wiz: ...Okay...
  • Going over Sindel's abilities, Wiz mentions her projectiles are called Star Screamers.
    Boomstick: Oh! Like that Transformer that we had that pony eat his soul!
    Wiz: No.
  • Dinah describes the Mortal Kombat tournament as "Scooby-Doo meets Fight Club."
  • At one point after injuring Dinah, Sindel grabs the Canary's wrists and offers to "sing (her) a lullaby". That lullaby? Sindel Banshee Screaming right into Dinah's face. Dinah, naturally shielded by her ear membranes, frees herself from the queen's grip by headbutting her and snarking, "No kidding. I almost fell asleep!"
  • After knocking Sindel out of the ring, Dinah asks Shao Kahn if ring-outs are a thing in Outworld.
  • Dinah manages to escape from Sindel's attempt to choke her, but because they were in the air, Dinah is sent plummeting towards the ground.
    Dinah: OH SHIIIIT! (the scream quickly becomes another Canary Cry, which she uses to rocket herself back to Sindel)
  • Boomstick's joke after the fight is over is admittedly not his best one, but Wiz sets himself up for a groan-inducing pun at the end.
    Boomstick: [start of the post-fight analysis] Looks like Sindel's head is blasting off agaaaaaiiii— or, well, for the first time, technically, so... Eh, I tried to work it in, guys...
    Boomstick: [end of the post-fight analysis] It was Sindel's time to Die-nah.
    Wiz: What, no pun about screams?
    Boomstick: Well, I was gonna, but I thought a pun that obvious wouldn't be a-loud!

    Leonardo VS Jason 
  • Boomstick's tendency to flub names continues with him calling Leo Leonardo DiCaprio, and Wiz just rolls with it this time.
  • When stating why Leo was picked over his brothers, Boomstick gives good reasons for Donatello and Raphael, but in a Continuity Nod to Leo's first battle, he still assumes that Mikey was dropped as a child.
  • At the end of Leonardo's preview, Boomstick sics his pet snapping turtle, Mr. Snappy, on Wiz as proof of turtles being fast. From what Wiz managed to choke out, Mr. Snappy got him by the throat as well.
  • Boomstick, after Wiz describes the ninjaken as "katanas without the curve", still favors it over Raph's sai and Donnie's bo, describing them as "tiny forks" and "a literal stick" respectively.
  • While talking about Leo's odachi, Boomstick attempts to make a portal with it, only to succeed in breaking stuff offscreen.
  • After Jason's preview, Boomstick asks Wiz if he would take a hit for him after hearing about the Morphing Grid. Wiz confusedly says yes, prompting Boomstick to immediately sucker punch him, with his justification being that Wiz said he could.
  • While talking about Jason's weapons, Boomstick states they aren't toys "no matter how plasticky they look".
  • When talking about Jason's Blade Blaster, Boomstick shows Wiz his own combo weapon, which is just a bunch of knives taped to his shotgun leg. Wiz asks if that's a good idea, stating that they already have enough holes in the floor before Boomstick assures him that he knows what he's doing, only for his shotgun leg to go off. The shot breaks the floor under him, causing Boomstick to fall through it and send the knives flying everywhere, eliciting a girlish scream from Wiz. Boomstick finally hits the ground after all that and says he's okay... only for a stray knife to fall from the ceiling and stab him offscreen and make him reiterate that last sentence. Wiz can only sigh in resignation at his co-host's stupidity.
  • Wiz mentions a time Jason lifted a boulder that weighed 69 tons. Of course, Boomstick laughs.
  • The reason the fight starts? Jason bumps into Leo, causing him to drop his pizza. (And tries to kill him because he looks like one of Rita's monsters, but more so the pizza.)
    Leo: Gimme a break! You're the monster for ruining my pizza!
  • Seeing that this fight's main connection is how they're Saturday Morning shows, they had to stick some cheesy dialogue in.
    Jason: Don't blade me for not being impressed!
    Leo: Really, dude?
  • In true Power Rangers fashion, after Jason kills Leo, his body explodes. And Jason's reaction to fighting and killing a human-sized turtle wielding an array of Japanese weapons?
    Jason: Phew! That was bonkers!
  • While awesome that Jason ended the winning streaks of TMNT and Leo as well as the Power Rangers' own losing streak, it is hilarious how Jason won compared to the losses; Jason didn't have his Zord on hand but won, while all the previous matchups had the Zords as the combatants but lost, giving the possibility that the Zords are giant bad luck charms in Death Battle.

    Genos VS War Machine 
  • In Genos's rundown, Boomstick finds Mosquito Girl attractive, to Wiz's casual disgust.
  • Boomstick gives Saitama some nicknames related to his baldness, such as "Caped Egghead" or "Baldy McPuncherson", and in the YouTube release makes a smart-ass crack about Saitama before he and Wiz advertise Hims.
  • By the end of Genos's preview, Boomstick decides to steal Wiz's robotic arm to see if it'll pop back on, or if he'll grow out a new one.
  • When discussing Genos's hyper-sensors, Boomstick states that they can zoom and enhance to locate distant foes before imitating Law & Order's signature sound with the actual sound clip playing at the same time.
  • When discussing how Genos can put his arms together to use the Spiral Incineration Cannon and the Ultra Helix Incineration Blast, Boomstick wishes he had a second shotgun leg to do something similar. When Wiz asks how he would even aim, Boomstick tries to demonstrate by lifting both his legs. Cue the Surprisingly Realistic Outcome when he falls after he lifts his second leg, landing on his keys.
  • For most of the first half of War Machine's analysis, Boomstick can't stop fawning over the weapons the suit has, to the point where he reveals that he tried upgrading his weapons... one of which is a rifle painted pink with a little flower on it... which he says was white before he accidentally washed it with his hat.
  • While talking about War Machine's Ghost-tech, Boomstick states that it would be very useful for preventing Wiz from stabbing him in the foot again, much to Wiz's annoyance.
  • Much like the ends of both Lucy and Black Widow's analyses, War Machine's analysis doesn't have him say something but rather shows him firing his weapons constantly.
  • The beginning of the fight features War Machine jetting over a desert landscape with a cup of coffee, only for an explosion in the background to cause it to spill. Between this and Leonardo's pizza, fans have started to wonder if wasted food is going to be a running gag this season.
  • While Genos's Badass Boast about "not falling apart that easy" seems awesome at first glance, his reputation as a Jobber in his home series as well as the analysis showing that Genos had almost no advantages whatsoever makes it seem more like Genos is talking out of his shiny metal ass.
  • After Genos crushes Rhodey's boot and the two start falling, War Machine's solution to fend off his opponent is to bitch-slap him with a repulser-amplified hand. Genos's confused look before impact sells it.
  • Later in the fight, War Machine uses his Ghost-tech to hide from Genos's sensors. The demon cyborg assumes that Rhodes escaped while stating that his suit was ugly, which War Machine takes offense to.
    War Machine: [reappears next to him] Ugly?! [attacks him] This is my Sunday best!
  • After overpowering War Machine's Unibeam with his Spiral Incineration Cannon, Genos is caught by surprise by the fact that Rhodes is still alive before attempting to blast him again, getting more and more annoyed each time.
    Genos: [after the fourth blast] Come on! DIE ALREADY!!!
  • War Machine simply standing there while Genos unloads four Spiral Incineration Cannons on him back to back to no effect, coupled with the War Machine Armor's blank expression, can bring to mind a rather famous moment from Genos's home series.
  • At the end, Genos attempts a Taking You with Me by self-destructing his core, but War Machine survives and apologizes for how this turned out. Genos, who is now just a head, tells Rhodes to not talk to him, which he obliges by just crushing Genos's head.

    Gray Fullbuster VS Esdeath 
  • A meta-Funny moment occurs when one realizes that not only will this not be the first time Gray has fought a blue-haired ice-using general of an Empire (Invel Yura), but also not the first time he's fought a blue-haired woman with love issues (Juvia Lockser, his own Love Interest). To top it off, Gray actually fits all of Esdeath's boyfriend requirements. He hasn't reached his full potential (as the sequel series is still ongoing), he's fearless, he's younger than her, he wasn't born in the capital, and he has a nice smile. Gray seems to have taken note of Esdeath's similarities to Juvia.
    Gray: Oh, just what I needed; another crazy, blue-haired woman in my life!
  • Gray Full-BUSTS into DEATH BATTLE!
  • Boomstick calls Gray's teacher, Ur, a hot stripper. He's... not wrong...
  • At the end of Gray's preview, Boomstick wonders if the reason Gray learned ice magic was that he stripped. So he decides to give it a shot... by ripping off his pants, to Wiz's disgust.
    Wiz: Oh, I'm gonna hurl. Oh god!
    Boomstick: [proudly] Yeah, I have that effect on people.
  • In the episode proper, he rips off his shirt instead. He then orders Wiz to oil him up (Wiz refuses) and has a stripper pole readied before Wiz clarifies that it's not stripping that taught him, that was just Ur's way to get him used to the cold to better use ice magic. Boomstick dejectedly wishes Wiz had told him 5 seconds earlier before he'd ripped his favorite shirt. The pole then rises back into the ceiling, meaning Wiz and Boomstick have an extendable stripper pole installed in the studio.
  • When talking about the fact that Gray's Lost Iced Shell erases him from the memories of anyone's that ever known him:
    Wiz: ...but how does that even work? Say Gray cut off your arm, leaving you handicapped for years, then Lost Iced Shell'd himself elsewhere. That would be a very confusing day.
    Boomstick: Is that how I lost my leg? Wonder who it was I knew?
  • In Esdeath's rundown, Boomstick shows his usual annoyance about the Power of Friendship trope before excitedly saying that survival of the fittest is the real type of friendship power he wants.
  • At the end of the preview, Boomstick realizes that since Esdeath got her powers with blood, he wants some of Wiz's blood to get his own powers. Wiz knows what's about to happen and tries to stop him before Boomstick charges off to get Wiz's extra supply that the latter was saving for a clone army.
  • When Esdeath's desire to find love is brought up, Boomstick all too happily says he "know(s) just the man for the job" (himself), only for Wiz to reveal that the guy who fits Esdeath's criteria for her ideal man is Tatsumi.
    Boomstick: [spits the beer he was drinking into Wiz's face] Wh—What!? Really? Aw, some dopey generic anime protagonist kid.
    Wiz: Well, he literally is an anime protagonist.
    Boomstick: Oh, come on, he's like a three out of ten and she's not even on the chart. She's way too good for him.
    Wiz: Is she? [shows Boomstick a scene where Esdeath tortures her captives]
    Boomstick: Oh right, she's crazy. ...Even better!
  • Wiz's reaction to how Mahapadma works. note 
    Wiz: This. Makes. No. Sense.
  • Gray does his typical strip, complete with Fairy Tail's infamous "Wow" sound effect before the fight starts. Judging from Esdeath's expression, she wasn't very amused.
  • Boomstick's announcement after the fight, made even better by the fact that it is completely accurate:
    Boomstick: [pulls down an old-style microphone] This just in: male stripper found dead after a crazy night with a dominatrix gone wrong. More at 7.

    Goro VS Machamp 
  • In Goro's preview, after talking about Goro's fighting styles, Boomstick wonders if someone with two arms can use the Shokan fighting style before Wiz explains that four arms are required for it. Boomstick gives Wiz a high five before ripping off Wiz's arm, his organic arm from the sound of it. And to cap it off, only after Boomstick announces that they will be covering Machamp at the end of the preview does Wiz let out an "Ow!" which sounds much less in pain than he did in Guy's preview last season when Boomstick broke his leg.
  • During Goro's analysis Boomstick dejectedly mentions that he is being reminded of the guy his ex-wife left him for, who had four arms. Wizard comforts him for a second, then jumps right back into the analysis.
  • When it's shown that an armless Goro defeated Kenshi, Boomstick says something that very much Crosses the Line Twice.
    Boomstick: A limbless guy vs. a blind guy? Throw Professor X in there and you have yourself the ultimate, and definitely most offensive, cripple threat match. [Beat] Oh what? I got one leg!
  • When Boomstick asks if Wiz can get him some Machamp so he can start a moving company, Wiz says that he could, but it would involve some super-illegal genetic experimentation that he's not comfortable discussing on the show.
  • During Machamp's analysis, Wiz mentions the rather odd fact of a fan club of women falling for members of the Machamp line. Boomstick remarks that it's probably run by his ex-wife.
  • Before the fight starts, Goro is seen happily polishing his trophies. When Machamp does appear, Goro almost immediately hides them, like he doesn't want people knowing that is what he does in his spare time.
  • Once Goro figures out Machamp is not a Shokan, he's quick to call Machamp ugly.
  • Goro doesn't quite understand the fundamentals behind Pokémon Speak. Fridge Funny sets in thanks to Cassie Cage's Selfie fatality in Mortal Kombat X, where all of Goro's comments are just him saying his name.
    Goro: Face death... like a warrior!
    Machamp: Ma-champ!
    Goro: Stop saying that!
    Machamp: Champ...
    Goro: You're no champ! I am! The Champion of Mortal Kombat!
  • After Goro attempts his finishing move, Machamp counters with a Seismic Toss, launching him into the air as he screams all the way up and down. And the cherry on top? Machamp freaking performs a four-armed dab towards the viewer.
  • Goro throws Machamp hard enough into the wall of his lair to put him through the stone. Machamp proceeds to go to the door and knock on it before bursting through to resume the battle.
  • The effects of the finishing blow when Machamp hits Goro with a Megaton Punch. Goro being turned into Ludicrous Gibs? Gruesome. Goro's gibs flying off into orbit? Hilarious.
  • Upon beating Goro, Machamp flexes in victory, only to pass out soon after due to the burn Goro's flame breath inflicted him with earlier.
  • When Guts activates, there's an interface pop-up reminiscent of when an ability activates in Sword and Shield, but when Machamp faints due to his burn, the text box that pops up looks like it was ripped out of Red and Blue.
  • Boomstick is annoyed that Goro didn't say that he was blasting off again and demands a redo so that the joke can be done properly at least once.
  • While discussing how the Machamp species tend to live in packs and train against each other in the post-fight analysis, Boomstick gives his remark about what the average person would see during their training sessions:
    Boomstick: Ah, the majestic Machamp. Roaming the fields of the Kanto region, gently SEISMIC TOSSING each other into orbit. [scene of a Machamp using Seismic Toss on another Machamp, sending it into orbit and back] Just imagine walking past that on your Sunday stroll!
  • As pointed out in the comments of the video, the team hired a voice actor to just say "Machamp" over and over again.

    Cable VS Booster Gold 
  • Boomstick refers to Cable's techno-organic virus as "cyborg herpes".
  • At the end of Cable's preview, Boomstick tells Wiz that he wants to finish their time machine. Wiz reminds Boomstick that it's his time machine.
    Boomstick: I'm gonna get a sports almanac and rule the world!
  • Wiz and Boomstick go over a few of Cable's alternate selves, including X-Man.
    Boomstick: Wow, really breaking the bank on the name of that guy, huh?
    Wiz: Pretty gutsy to name himself after the entire franchise.
    Boomstick: Hey Wiz, uh... is that Jesus?
    Wiz: It is! Oh my god...
    Boomstick: Holy shit! Be careful of what you say in front of mutant Jesus!
  • For Booster Gold's rundown, they waste no time in establishing just who he really is.
    Wiz: Booster Gold is a hero, an icon, a brand. He's a vigilante protecting the streets of Metropolis, and also the head of his own PR company! He's a wink and a catchphrase, he's fame and fortune incarnate.
    Boomstick: But the number one thing to know about Booster Gold: He's one-hundred-percent full of shit!
  • Boomstick has some praise for Michael Jon Carter profiting off the past's stock markets to get rich.
    Boomstick: Ah, that's pretty clever of him. Clever like a fox! Because Michael J. Fox played the guy from Back to the Future and... he went back... sports almanac...
  • In the preview, after Boomstick compares Booster to if Iron Man was a total loser, he notices that Wiz's hair is longer, which Wiz tries to pass off as a growth spurt, causing Boomstick to realize that Wiz finished the time machine they were talking about in Cable's preview before running off to use it.
  • Wiz demonstrates Booster's forcefield while Boomstick provides the offensive after being reminded of the time he got his heart broken at his seventh-grade prom.
    Wiz: [nonchalantly ignoring a Batarang and kitchen sink that bounce off the shield] Perhaps his suit's most bizarre ability is his Mass Dispersion Field. [the field turns blue as Boomstick throws the anvil, which vanishes and leaves him surprised] Instead of blocking attacks, this field absorbs matter and spits it back out. Obviously if applied to a human being the results would be— [the anvil flies back at Boomstick at a high speed]
    Boomstick: Me... at my seventh-grade prom. [collapses]
  • The start of the fight. Booster is pandering to the crowd as he was holding a thug he dealt with before Cable shows up, causing Booster to think that Cable is stealing his spotlight. The time-traveling cyborg says he looks like an idiot before walking off; after a moment to collect himself, Booster assumes Cable wants to battle him to boost his reputation. Booster tries to humor him by acting like Cable was challenging him until Cable states that the pavement will be stained with his blood. Booster takes a moment before realizing what Cable just said, and then gets punched into a building.
  • Just like Miles at the start of the season and Machamp in the episode prior, when Cable attempts to crush Booster with two trucks, at the moment right before the trucks collide, Booster dabs. If you look closely, those are the same moving trucks from Toy Story.
  • Booster stops time and delivers a flurry of punches on Cable, expecting the added inertia to send him flying. When time resumes, Cable isn't even knocked off his feet.
    Cable: ...You hit like a girl.
  • Cable's response to Booster's attempt at a time-related attack is one of his own, throwing him into a portal that leads to the future.
    Booster: Did you just punch me into next week? Or... a MILLION NEXT WEEKS?!
  • After being treated like a ping-pong ball for most of the fight, Booster Gold finally manages to turn things around in his favor. How? Cable accidentally reminds Booster about his time-travel abilities. Y'know, the abilities that serve as the main connection between the two, and arguably Booster's most iconic power.
    Cable: I set this up while you were playing roadkill. Funny how time travel works.
    Booster: Oh, hey! I can do that too!
  • When Booster Gold shows up in the prehistoric era with an army of himself from different points in the battle, one of them is still holding the thug from before the fight started.
  • Booster's Bad "Bad Acting" when Cable tries using his mind control on him. And the fact that Cable buys it.
    Booster: Oh no! A voice in my head! Must... remove... force field! NOOOOOO!
  • When Cable gives his final "F-U" to Booster Gold before being crushed, you can see Booster being incredibly miffed at the response, like he's saying, "Yeah, yeah, I get that a lot".
  • In the aftermath of the fight, all Boomstick can do is stare at the screen in shock, before loudly complaining about how the result makes no sense.
    Boomstick: [stares at the results screen in complete bafflement] ...Auugh, agh, nooooo! SERIOUSLY?!
    Wiz: I know it seems ridiculous, but-
    Boomstick: SERIOUSLY! How did that golden dingus beat Mutant Jesus?!
  • How does the preview for Obi-Wan vs Kakashi end off?
    Obi-Wan: Hello there.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi VS Kakashi 
  • Boomstick doesn't waste any time with quoting not just Obi-Wan, but Star Wars in general.
    "'Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.' Ah, I love a good Obi-One liner."
    "'I have a bad feeling about this.'"
    "'It's an Elegant Weapon for a More Civilized Age." 'Cause, you know, mutilating and decapitating people left and right is way more honorable."
    Even the title of Obi-Wan's preview gets in on it! "Obi-Wan has the High Ground in DEATH BATTLE!"
  • At the end of Obi-Wan's preview, Boomstick tries to use the Force to move an object. When Wiz tells him he can't do it, Boomstick responds by throwing his mic at Wiz.
    Boomstick: [grunting] Oh yeah? Well, then why is my... microphone... flying?!
    Wiz: [gets hit] Augh!
    Boomstick: Uh... Ugh... Mic check, one-two? ...Okay. That was a little harder than I intended.
  • Boomstick talks about the Jedi Mind Trick.
    Boomstick: Like if he wanted to, he could get jizz stuck in your head.
    Wiz: Boomstick! Gross!
    Boomstick: What? It's a type of music! Those aliens at Jabba's palace were playing it! They're called jizz-wailers!
    Wiz: Huh... I bet Disney was real happy to learn about that one!
  • Boomstick treats Obi-Wan having the high ground as a serious technique of his, saying that it gives him "enormous extra powerfulness". Wiz points out that Darth Maul had the high ground against Obi-Wan and lost. Boomstick says that's where Obi-Wan learned the technique from in the first place.
    Boomstick: Only Sith Satan could think of something so deadly!
  • For Kakashi's introduction, Wiz lists off the many things Kakashi is, and Boomstick throws in "porn addict" at the end. Wiz doesn't react, implying that he agrees.
  • Boomstick is inspired by the fact that Kakashi's Lightning Edge was named because he cut through a bolt of actual lightning.
    Boomstick: Take that, nature! Man triumphs over you once again.
  • While discussing how great pain and loss was what was required for Kakashi to unlock the Mangekyou Sharingan, Wiz reveals that he's stolen all of Boomstick's beer and put it in a room with 200 tons of TNT.
    Boomstick: Haha- Wait, What? [offscreen explosion] NOOOO! You monster! What have you done?!
    Wiz: [getting out a clipboard] Do you feel anything?
    Boomstick: Just thirsty, sober, and... PUNCHY.
    Wiz: Pu-Punchy? [Boomstick knocks him out cold and steals his money]
    Boomstick: Next round's on Wiz!
  • The fight, in general, is loaded with prequel memes.
    • The battle starts with Obi-Wan nailing two memes.
      Obi-Wan: [groaning] Another happy landing... [Kakashi arrives on a tree, Obi-Wan turns] Hello there!
    • Obi-Wan's attempt at a Jedi Mind Trick doesn't work on Kakashi.
      Obi-Wan: You want to go home and keep reading your book.
      Kakashi: I want to go home and keep reading my book... After [lifts back mask to reveal Sharingan] I kick your ass!
    • After Obi-Wan Force Pushes Kakashi into a pit.
      Kakashi: Well now, you've fallen for the deadliest stratagem we ninja know: 1,000 Years of Death.
      Obi-Wan: Don't try it! I have the high gr- [Kakashi shoves his fingers into Kenobi's butt]
    • Kakashi then pulls Obi-Wan into the ground, leaving only his head sticking out.
      Kakashi: I guess I have the high ground.
      Obi-Wan: Oh, I don't think so.
    • Once Obi-Wan lands the killing blow. That 1000 Years of Death definitely had an impact.
      Obi-Wan: [while feeling his butt] So uncivilized...
  • Boomstick ends the episode with a "beautifully simplistic" (in Chad's own words) pun. What really sells it is the flat delivery and shit-eating grin on his face.
    Boomstick: In the end... Obi-won.
  • There's something hilariously ironic about Kakashi Hatake, a mentor character who managed to subvert the Mentor Occupational Hazard, getting killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi, whom the trope used to be named after.

    Danny Phantom VS Jake Long 
  • Much like Ben 10, Boomstick explains both Danny and Jake’s backstories by singing their theme songs. By the end of Danny's overview, he's even got poor Wiz doing it.
    Wiz: You’re gonna do this the whole episode, aren’t you?
    Boomstick: Probably!
  • At the end of Danny’s preview, Boomstick is annoyed that everyone was apparently so dumb that they couldn't figure out that Danny Fenton is Danny Phantom. He then announces that Death Battle is canceled so that they can start a new show to educate people called "Brains with Boomstick and the Other Guy".
  • Boomstick notes that Jake Long's dog, Fu Dog, probably has a higher body count than any of the villains from the cartoon, showing how he accidentally caused the sinking of the Titanic.
    Boomstick: Rest In Peace, DiCaprio, you handsome devil. I learned how to fight bears from watching you. I’ll never let go…
  • Jake's preview ends with Boomstick, under Wiz's encouragement, eating a bunch of spicy foods in an attempt to breathe fire like Jake. It works as well as you'd expect.
    Boomstick: Oh, I'm shooting fire but it's the wrong end!
    Wiz: Well, congratulations. Everyone starts somewhere.
  • After Boomstick mentions the times both combatants launched attacks out of their butts, Wiz notes they should both see a doctor.
  • Boomstick perfectly replicates Danny's Ghostly Wail - despite not being a ghost or a halfa (as far as we know) - by using it on Wiz. And it actually hurts him, despite Wiz also not being a ghost or halfa. Wiz' pained groan of "Why?" sells it.
  • After grumbling about Jake being caused problems by the ninja-esque Huntsclan, Boomstick states that his hatred of ninjas drove him to apply for "Anti-Ninja Membership", which includes ten thousand screaming rubber chickens to catch any ninjas who try breaking into his shack. Just that image alone is hilarious.
    Boomstick: "Try setting foot in MY shack, you stealth assholes!"
  • The way the fight starts is pretty funny. Danny is returning a golden skull to an Egyptian museum exhibit when Jake shows up and mistakes him for the original thief. He dragons up and warns Danny:
    Jake: You got three seconds before the Am-Drag's gonna show you out!
    Danny: Am-what? ''(Jake attacks him and throws him at the wall) Going Ghost! (Danny goes ghost and flies through the wall. Jake tries following him, only to end up flying chin-first into the wall. While he's nursing his jaw, Danny reappears behind him) I didn't count THREE!
  • Danny mocks Jake with a lame pun after he uses intangibility to phase through a stone tablet thrown at him:
    Danny: "Ha ha ha, wanna try something else? I don't want this to drag-on!"
  • For a single frame after Danny and his clones land on the billboard he knocked Jake through with the Wail, they hit a quick dab.

    She-Ra VS Wonder Woman 
  • The way She-Ra's preview starts.
    Wiz: Once Upon a Time in a galaxy far far away...
    Boomstick: [quickly] Uh, but not so far that it could be copyright infringement!
  • Once the She-Ra preview gets into how she was freed from Hordak's control by touching He-Man's sword, Boomstick immediately realizes how bad that sounds.
  • Boomstick rounds off She-Ra's preview by showing off the shapechanging abilities of the Sword of Protection... by reverting it back to sword form after initially disguising it as a bracelet... and putting the sword into Wiz' eye. He then tells Wiz that he wasn't supposed to literally "keep an eye out"!
  • While talking about the Sword of Protection, Boomstick is shown swinging the blade around happily... until he realizes he isn't drunk. When Wiz speculates that the Sword is making him sober, he freaks and throws the sword away.
  • With alicorn and pegasus horse names such as Swiftwind and Crystal Sundancer, Boomstick panics and thinks that this is another pony episode.
  • Wonder Woman's rundown includes footage of that one guy in the DC Animated Movie Universe who confesses to cross-dressing in a Wonder Woman outfit under the influence of the Lasso of Truth.
  • After Boomstick gets jealous of Diana looking as young in the present as she did during World War 2, Wiz offers to give Boomstick what he thinks is a deaging serum. Boomstick wisely refuses before turning away, giving Wiz the perfect opportunity to inject the serum while his co-host is distracted. The bitter annoyance on Boomstick's face when he realized what happened sells it.
    Boomstick: [chuckles] No no no no, I know how this goes, motherf— [Wiz injects the serum into Boomstick's arm; after a second of realization, Boomstick turns back to Wiz with a scowl] Son of a bitch.
  • The result of Wiz's de-aging serum? It just shrinks Boomstick's head. It makes him look like Eddy did in a similar situation.
    Boomstick: [in a high-pitched voice] Why do I sound like a cartoon mouse?
    Wiz: Well, [takes out a pen and clipboard] back to the drawing board.
    [Boomstick scratches his head, then realizes what's happened]
  • Wonder Woman quickly gets sick of She-Ra constantly talking about being the Princess of Power.
    Wonder Woman: Get over yourself!
  • Given Boomstick's complaints about the invisible jet, you can't help but feel vindicated on his behalf when She-Ra destroys it in the fight by throwing it at Wonder Woman, forcing her to cut it in half.
  • In the post-fight analysis, Boomstick cites Wonder Woman's atom-splitting sword as a reason she managed to defeat She-Ra. He then has to clarify that Wonder Woman's sword splits atoms, not Adam, Adora's brother. Or the superhero, The Atom.

    Beerus VS Sailor Galaxia 
  • The first we see of the fight? Beerus sitting on the beach eating ice cream before Galaxia immediately destroys the planet.
  • In Beerus' overview, after Boomstick learns about Beerus' nature as a Person of Mass Destruction, combined with his nature as a Cat Folk, he takes this to mean that all cats are as insanely powerful as Beerus, so he decides to kill every single cat in the world in response. He even brings up the fact that his ex-wife named her cat "God of Destruction". Wiz' irritated sigh sells it. Later in Galaxia's overview, Boomstick still has a fear of cats when it shows poor innocent Luna.
  • Boomstick initially thinks that Beerus' friend and martial arts tutor Whis has the same name as his friend, Wiz.
  • This episode introduces DUMMInote , a test robot designed for safely demonstrating powerful abilities such as Beerus' Hakai. Boomstick didn't take DUMMI's introduction too kindly as he thought the robot would replace him. Once Wiz used Beerus' Hakai on DUMMI, which disintegrates him, Boomstick was happy he was gone.
  • The fact that Wiz had Beerus' Hakai energy stored in a container can give a good few laughs considering how the container wasn't erased from existence.
  • DUMMI himself is pretty funny on account of his dry and depressed personality. He resignedly asks Wiz "How may I be exploited today?" right before Wiz starts throwing ki pellets at him, and at the end of the animation, he dryly notes that there's no point repeating things Wiz has already said, "Like my existence."
  • In Galaxia's overview, Boomstick wonders if the Sailor Guardians are space Popeyes who sell cookies.* Wiz corrects him and says that they're not sailors, but rather Sailor Guardians or Sailor Soldiers.
  • Of course, Boomstick has to make fun of DiC.
    Boomstick: Oh, yeah. The DiC dub! Look out kid, there's a giant DiC outside your window!
    DiC Production Logo: DiC!
    Boomstick: Hehehe. You know what you are.
  • Boomstick uses Galaxia's rundown to make yet another jab at his ex-wife.
    Wiz: Be it the power or her own mind, Galaxia was cursed with unparalleled vanity, so cosmic in scale that she could not be satisfied until the whole universe bowed before her, or else.
    Boomstick: Just like my ex-wife. If she appeared on the horizon, you'd be totally screwed.
    Wiz: Galaxia or your ex-wife?
    Boomstick: Yes.
  • Wiz and Boomstick go over the top names Galaxia has for her attacks, and the last one reveals some...personal preferences from Wiz.
    Wiz: And like any good anime villain, her attacks have some absolutely ridiculous names. Like the Galactica Super String!
    Boomstick: Which...doesn't actually use any string!
    Wiz: Galactica Crunch!
    Boomstick: I think I had a bowl of that this morning.
    Wiz: And Galactica Inflation! (The screen changes to a censored video)
    Boomstick: (Spittakes) What the hell?
    Wiz: (Panicking and trying to cover up the screen) Aaah! How did that get there!? It's not what you think! Research! You come across a lot of stuff in research!
    Boomstick: Wiz, I'm glad to know exactly what kind of guy I'm working with.
  • When Wiz mentions that Galaxia vowed to destroy Chaos, Boomstick says, "Yeah, that happens when you watch too much Marie Kondo."
  • The hosts have different views on Galaxia's defeat and death by The Power of Love.
    Wiz: Neither Galaxia nor the Sapphire Crystal had ever known this feeling. Ironically, or perhaps befittingly, the weakness of destruction itself...was love.
    Boomstick: Wiz, she was literally killed by kindness. Who wrote this?
    Wiz: Nuance, Boomstick.
  • At the beginning of the actual fight, Galaxia pokes Beerus in the eyes after Beerus confronts her over the loss of his ice cream. He is not impressed, and certainly not amused.
    Beerus: It's unwise to vaporize a god's dessert.
    Sailor Galaxia: Ahahahahaha! Witness my infinite power! (pokes Beerus in the eye, sending him flying off into the distance and blows on her fingertips)
    Beerus: (suddenly reappears next to her) So, you have chosen death.
  • Neither Beerus nor Galaxia are really trying at the start of the fight, essentially trying to poke the life out of each other before they get serious. They even engage in a Rapid Fire Fingerpoke against each other, which ends with both of them being knocked back and shaking their hands in pain.
    Sailor Galaxia: Ridiculous!
  • It is easy to miss, but as both combatants use their respective Cessation of Existence attacks, the constellations of Chuck Norris and Segata Senshiro can be seen. After the attacks disintegrate everything in view, the constellation is still there - everything else is gone. Powerful as Beerus and Galaxia are, nothing they do disrupts the eternal duel of those two.
  • At one point, Galaxia grabs Beerus by the tail via her golden whip and prepares to throw him around. Beerus's response?
    Beerus: Don't you dare.
  • After the pair detonate the sun with their attacks, both Beerus and Galaxia try to pin the blame on the other for the star's destruction as if they were children trying to pin the blame on the other for breaking a valuable vase.
  • Beerus and Galaxia each get sent to a different planet during the fight, landing near a couple of inhabitants who give them a friendly greeting.
  • During one clash, Galaxia ties up Beerus with the Galactica Super String, Beerus cries out "HEY! NO FAIR!" like a whining child.
  • Beerus' entire reason for a fight that destroyed multiple planets and resulted in the formation of a black hole? Galaxia destroyed the planet he was relaxing on, ruining his ice cream. Not surprisingly, this fits Beerus' character.
    Beerus: That... was for my ice cream.
  • After the fight ended, Boomstick realizes the Theme Naming:
    Boomstick: Holy crap, this fight was so intense, I'm gonna get a beer for us- Wait... Beer-us, Whis-key, Champ-AGNE?! (the background screen shows Bulma, then Goku holding cans of beer) Oh my god, all the cats are named after booze! I like 'em now!
  • When Wiz mentions how Galaxia matched Endgame Eternal Sailor Moon who destroyed eight of Galaxia's Animamates, Boomstick mishears "Animamate" as "Animorphs".
    Boomstick: Did you say Animorphs?
  • After DUMMI repeats Wiz' statements about Beerus being more powerful than Galaxia, Boomstick delivers his usual Bond One-Liner:
    Boomstick: You could say she got caught in a galaxy sized cat-astrophe. (Beat) Can I blow him [DUMMI] up this time?
    DUMMI: I look forward to it.

    Zuko VS Shoto Todoroki 
  • During the analysis segments, Boomstick frequently expresses his severe Daddy issues through self-loathing commentary, which is fitting considering him and the opponents all have that in common. Well they do arguably have another thing in common…
  • The prelude to the episode begins with Boomstick talking about how there are some anime characters with daddy issues, Wiz asks "You mean like you?"
    Boomstick: Don't be silly, Wiz, I'm not an anime character.
    (He cries like an anime character, with wavy streams of tears, to Wiz's bafflement, whilst maintaining a cheerful smiley face)
  • The title of Zuko's preview is bound to get a few chuckles out of Avatar fans. Zuko Fights for Honor in Death Battle!
  • Zuko's preview ends with Boomstick proudly claiming that he, like Zuko, has mastered a form of bending- in his case, "Fartbending!" Wiz, disgusted, decides Screw This, I'm Out of Here!, and leaves Boomstick to announce the upcoming preview for Zuko's opponent Todoroki- and then, midway through announcing this, Boomstick starts to choke on his own farts, even smelling something in his fart that he never ate. Sucks to be you, Boomstick.
  • Todoroki's preview features Boomstick getting distracted by Endeavor's Flaming Hair:
    Boomstick: Anyone else notice his facial hair's made of fire? How's that work?
  • Wiz, wishing to test out Firebending on DUMMI, starts performing the Dancing Dragon, with Boomstick asking if he's trying to do the Macarena. Then when Wiz does firebend (actually his robotic arm), he misses DUMMI... and hits Boomstick instead.
    Boomstick: (coverd in soot) Wiz. *coughs* Why?
    DUMMI: Ha ha ha.
  • Later, Wiz freezes Boomstick, after telling DUMMI he doesn't need the robot this time, leading Boomstick to ask:
    Boomstick: Why'd you even make the stupid robot?!
  • At the end of Zuko's rundown, Wiz calls him the Fire Daddy before quickly correcting to Lord, leading Boomstick to ask if he's crushing on Zuko. Wiz doesn't do a good job hiding it. Boomstick assures him that there's nothing wrong with it because everyone is crushing on Zuko.
  • How do they round off Zuko's rundown? With a clip of him rehearsing his Adorkable apology speech rehearsal for the Gaang in Season 3.
    Zuko: Hello! Zuko here!
  • After shattering two ice barriers created by Todoroki, Zuko gives us this gem.
    Zuko: What's the matter? Melting under pressure?
  • Both Zuko and Todoroki come to realize very quickly that they're not so different, likely reflecting the sentiments of both fanbases.
    Zuko: He's just...
    Todoroki: ...like me.
  • Once again, the Cabbage Merchant can't catch a break. This time, his produce is crushed by a huge chunk of ice.
    A Beat after Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall, a chunk of ice lands on the cabbage cart
    Cabbage Merchant: Noooo! My cabbages!
  • After the battle ends with Shoto's victory, Wiz cuts Boomstick off with his grieving for Zuko.
  • Near the end of the episode, Boomstick delivers his usual Bond One-Liner, with Wiz being visibly more irritated than usual and giving his fellow co-host a Death Glare after the one-liner was delivered, complete with his eye twitching.
    Boomstick: Zuko fl-aimed for success, but his opponent Shoto put him on ice.

    Wally West VS Archie Sonic 
  • Boomstick's inability to pronounce the word "protegé".
  • Much like in Barry's battle against Quicksilver, Boomstick makes a reference to another Flash. Wiz gets bored of this really quick.
  • Boomstick comments about Wally getting his powers from a Freak Lab Accident via lightning; "I would say the kid was super lucky, but... he did get struck by lightning."
  • Boomstick delivers a Take That! to the Speed Force being "the DC writers' favorite scapegoat for retcons".
  • Boomstick wagers that Wally, who manipulates every molecule in his body, never has to worry about NARBs: "No Apparent Reason Boners". Of course, Boomstick would know all about those.
  • On Wally's background page, it states that 'Lex Luthor has "no idea who this is"'.
  • Wiz laces Boomstick's beer with cosmic kinetic energy before he drinks it. Boomstick's expression is hilarious, and Wiz says it'll kick in later. The laced beer does kick in at the end of the episode. Boomstick flickers and vanishes, then reappears with glowing eyes, a white aura, and partially transparent, declaring himself to be "a speed god" who's raced to Jupiter! Wiz eagerly asks him what cosmic knowledge he's gained... and then Boomstick disappoints him by just delivering the usual Bond One-Liner:
    Boomstick: Just one thing... While Sonic didn't know it, the writing was on the Wall-y.
  • Boomstick says that Wally, despite becoming a superhero, was still "a huge dork, but the fun kind, not like Wiz over here."
    Boomstick: I mean, he got married and has kids, so...
    Wiz: Boomstick, I'm married.
    Boomstick: WHAT?!
    Wiz: Uh, to my work!
  • To round off Wally's preview, Wiz mentions that he once survived being inside a black hole, then realizes his own black hole generator has gone missing. Boomstick reveals that he gave the generator to DUMMI, because the robot "seemed sad" and Boomstick decided to give him a world-destroying weapon to cheer him up. A horrified Wiz tells the audience, "We'll be back in a couple of days to cover Archie Sonic... if we survive." And Boomstick says "Have a good time, you robotic rascal!"
  • Boomstick describes Sonic's freedom fighters as "Franchise/Care Bear|s}} Viet-Cong" battling against "obesity and male pattern baldness" — Doctor Eggman, obviously.
  • Wiz is completely dumbfounded by how stupidly powerful Archie Sonic is. The last time we saw him this frustrated was when he tried to deal with Pinkie Pie.
  • Boomstick wonders if Sonic's speed relies on a diet of chili dogs, because "They give me the runs, but not in that way." Wiz' response is a disgusted "ugh..."
  • When talking about Sonic moving through stopped time, Boomstick calls this feat crazy, but Wiz calls it chaos. Boomstick believes chaos was just like his conception, or so he was told.
  • When Boomstick wonders whether Super Sonic is a Dragon Ball reference, Wiz confirms it, then Boomstick tries claiming that he tricked him via Exact Words, claiming it's actually a Dragon Ball Z reference. Wiz points out that Boomstick's wrong- Dragon Ball Z was only the name of the anime, and the Super Saiyan form first appeared in the manga. And because Boomstick has now lost a Side Bet, he has to clean the toilets for a week. Wiz must love being an Insufferable Genius sometimes.
  • After his many ludicrous feats have been covered, Wally's rundown concludes with the scene of him reminding the Trickster to turn himself in from Justice League.
  • DUMMI dryly notes a comparison to Ultra Sonic's chaos magic:
    DUMMI: This ugly monster wizard uses the same chaos magic, and he changed a partial robot rabbit into a full regular rabbit, a sentence so absurd, it likely damaged my internal processor.
    Wiz: Don't worry, it was never great, I took it from a refrigerator.
  • Wiz demonstrates Sonic's ability to alter the molecular make-up of others by bringing out a remote control that turns DUMMI into a living fireball. DUMMI's response? "Ow."
  • Boomstick's Lampshade Hanging on Sonic's Brilliant, but Lazy approach to using chaos magic:
    Boomstick: Okay, if he can literally just wish his problems away, you'd think he'd have way less trouble dealing with a fat ginger named after breakfast food.
  • Wiz states that since Sonic's a glutton for an adventurous life, he and Doctor Eggman eventually formed an "unhealthy co-dependent relationship".
    Boomstick: Just like us. Life's not the same without his oval-shaped enemy to beat up on, so they're back at it every chance they get. Come on, guys, just get a room already!
  • The whole reason the fight starts? Sonic and Wally are already competitive when they're racing, but Wally then adds fuel to the fire by stealing Sonic's chili dog, after which he taunts him by asking whether "(he's) too slow?" An enraged Sonic replies, "Don't mess with the hog's dogs!" and starts attacking the Scarlet Speedster.
  • Wiz and Boomstick, who've witnessed cosmic-level matchups such as Thanos vs. Darkseid and Beerus vs. Sailor Galaxia, are left completely and utterly dumbfounded in the aftermath of Wally and Sonic's fight.
  • The fact that they used two of the most famous memes for the two characters. Sanic appears for a frame in the final blow, and in the analysis, they use the infamous "It's Speed Force, I ain't gotta explain shit" picture due to how absurd Wally's abilities are.
  • There are several other little references to Archie Sonic's history in the final blow, such as "Sonic truly understands the meaning of war", Detective Sonic, and the infamous scene where Sally slaps him. You can also see a freeze-frame of a giant, bulky Sonic, and some of the frames blended with seeing Wally punching him just looks straight-up hilarious.
  • In the comment section, everyone all agreed who was the definitive fastest being alive... The cameraman.

    The Seven Battle Royale 
  • The ending of The Seven's preview video shows how Homelander and Queen Maeve left an airliner full of scared passengers to die. Boomstick won't shut up about it, forcing Vought International to cut them off.
    Wiz: With the biggest heart of the team, she'll never leave an innocent person behind. (cue scene of Homelander and Maeve looking on as the airliner prepares to crash)
    Boomstick: Wait, wait, hold up. Did they just leave all of those people to die?!
    Wiz: Wh-wha? Nuh— O-Of course not! (aside) Don't look at that.
    Boomstick: No, look, Wiz, they just abandoned them all!
    Wiz: (stern) Stop it!
    Boomstick: That's so messed up! I thought they were superheroes!
    Wiz: Boomstick! (static)-ut up, they'll hear you!
    Boomstick: What the fu...?! (cuts to the Vought logo)
  • For the Boys' preview, instead of getting to the Boys themselves, they're forced to focus on Starlight, the newest and youngest member of the Seven.
    • Boomstick pointedly refers to the Deep as "the Douche".
    • After describing how durable Starlight is, Boomstick suddenly starts reading an advert for a facial wash by Starlight, leading him to sputter "Wait, what did I just read?!"
    • At the end, Wiz has ultimately had enough after reading (and watching) more of Homelander's psychotic breaks and quits, leading to another interruption from Vought.
  • Why is Black Noir not in this fight? He's a guest host with Wiz and Boomstick and he's keeping a close eye on them. Black Noir also spends the episode drinking from a bottle with a straw sticking out of it. Through his mask.
  • During the episode itself, the hosts are forced to mention Billy and the crew as villains. Boomstick lists off the team as slanderous labels appear.
    Boomstick: Billy Butcher! (KILLER) Mother's Milk! (RUTHLESS) Kimiko! (FUGITIVE) Hugh Campbell! (GREMLIN) And this guy who's not yet been identified... but we're pretty sure he's French. (FRENCH)
  • After talking about Translucent's demise at the Boys' hands, Boomstick mentions that Vought is looking for a new Supe to join the Seven.
    Wiz: Makes sense. They can't just go around calling themselves "The Six", right? Th-That's actually a musical, I don't think they can trademark that.
  • The fight starts with the Deep trash-talking Billy... only for A-Train to immediately reduce him to a red smear mid-sentence.
  • While going through the Seven, Wiz and Boomstick take pleasure in shit-talking the Deep. Even Black Noir, who had been sitting in on their analysis, agrees that the Deep sucks, as seen when he silently nods in agreement with them.
  • After Maeve finishes off the blinded A-Train by punching him in half, his still-moving legs send her crashing through a nearby wall.
  • Once he's One Hit Killed Butcher, Homelander poses with the laser baby that Butcher had been wielding during the fight. When Stormfront arrives to confront him, he casually tosses said laser baby over his shoulder before accepting her challenge.
  • After Homelander wins the matchup and Black Noir leaves undetected, Wiz decides to badmouth Homelander. Unfortunately, unlike with the Deep, Homelander proceeds to slice off Wiz's organic arm with his Eye Beams. Boomstick then makes a darkly comedic joke at his co-host's expense.
    Boomstick: I have more limbs than you now. Don't worry buddy, I'll lend you a hand.
  • In the analysis, Boomstick gives his pun, but Wiz eggs him on to do better.
    Boomstick: ...Then he Butchered the competition!
    Wiz: I feel like that one was too easy.
    Boomstick: Ah, Starlighten up, Wiz! Maeve-y it was, but I'm A-Trained in the art of the pun! I figured a joke any more Deep might not have Homelanded!
  • Wiz and Boomstick are relieved that their contract with Vought is finally over. Wiz explains that they were about to be outed for several unknown offenses, the last of which is apparently a war crime. Boomstick realizes that they're still recording, and the pair immediately go for the camera.

    Winter Soldier VS Red Hood 
  • The title of the preview? Winter Soldier Gets Armed For Death Battle!
  • Wiz comments on World War II is named like a film sequel.
  • Boomstick casually discusses Bucky's Origin Story:
    Boomstick: As a young lad, Bucky ripped open a standard superhero booster pack, to find classic cards like "Dead Parents", and "Deep Desire To Fight For Justice".
  • Boomstick says that Captain America dived into the Arctic ocean "to nab his last diving merit badge. You know, 'cause he's a boy scout."
  • To round off Bucky's preview, Boomstick openly states that he wishes one of his blackouts would lead to Boomstick becoming a super-assassin:
    Wiz: Hmmm, so, hypothetically, if you were to wake up after a bender, and someone-let's say, a Mad Scientist- had started experimenting on you, you'd be okay with that?
    Boomstick: Sure.
    Wiz: Cool, cool. Yeah. Uh, how about we get a drink after this?
    Boomstick: I don't know. Somethin' seems off. But I do love booze, so... I'm in!
  • After bringing up Red Hood's preview, Boomstick then asks Wiz, "So, what you thinking, like, shots, or, what are we doing?" Boomstick can't seem to recognize that his friend is trying to do terrible things to him.
  • Wiz says that the Winter Soldier keeps himself armed with a katana, throwing knives, "pretty much whatever comes in the Welcome Bag at Assassin Con."
    Boomstick: Always a good time at Ass Con!
    • Given a Call-Back in Red Hood's bio, when Wiz states that Red Hood trained under the League of Assassins and the All-Caste, a band of monk assassins.
      Boomstick: So much ass stuff in this episode!
    • And Boomstick's comment is accompanied by the suiting-up clip from Batman & Robin yet again!
  • Boomstick fanboying over Bucky's mechanical arm, much to the jealousy of Wiz, who has his own mechanical arm.
    Wiz: It's not about the size of the arm, it's about how you use it!
  • Boomstick asks whether hitting Bucky's head really hard to restore his lost memories is the scientifically proven method to do so.
  • How do they round off Bucky's preview? With the clip of him and Rocket Raccoon locking arms and spin-shooting Outriders in Avengers: Infinity War! Which means Rocket gets the awesome one-liner instead of Bucky!
  • The opening of Red Hood's preview:
    Wiz: When you think of the word "sidekick", who immediately comes to mind?
    Boomstick: You. It's you.
  • Boomstick brings up the fact that Jason's inability to measure up to Dick Grayson as the new Robin meant he was in a literal "Dick-measuring contest."
  • Right after Boomstick brings up how the DC fans voted for Jason Todd to be beaten to death by the Joker, he then presents the audience with a phone number to ring if they want him to kill Wiz in a similar way. The number given? 555-2337. Or 555-BEER.
  • Wiz's "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer while bringing up how Jason was restored to life by Superboy-Prime punching reality, and Boomstick's own comment on the real reason he got brought Back from the Dead, bathing in a Lazarus Pit:
    Boomstick: Take that, readers! Your contribution counts for nothing!
  • Boomstick bringing up the fact that "Red Hood" is a Non-Indicative Name:
    Boomstick: Why do they call it "Red Hood" when it's a helmet?
    Wiz: Your name is "Boomstick."
    Boomstick: And your name is "Wizard!"
    Wiz: I... I think you're missing the point...
  • Boomstick decides to use the Red Hood's self-destructing cowl as a hangover recipe. Naturally.
  • Yet again, Boomstick confuses the Venom steroid used by Bane and the symbiote used by Eddie Brock. For a meta-funny moment, it turns out that said Symbiote is in the very next battle.
  • When Wiz poses with his thin arms while stating that Bane uses Venom to get "swole!" Boomstick incredulously asks him, "Wiz, have you ever been to the gym? Like, even once?"
  • When Boomstick sees the vial of Venom, he immediately gulps down its contents:
    Boomstick: Superpowers, here I come! You can call me the Red Neck!
    Wiz: No, no, no, you're supposed to inject it—"
  • Boomstick then immediately throws up the serum into DUMMI's funnel, much to the robot's disgust. Boomstick then orders a freaked out DUMMI to clean up the mess.
  • Just the way the fight starts, with Jason casually returning to his closed restaurant hideout to have a Big Belly Burger, while cheerfully hanging up on Bruce, who thinks he's killed eight assassins earlier that night. And then the Soldier shows up...
  • In a darkly humorous manner, it had to be some hilarious coincidence that the weapon Bucky just happens to find in the middle of the battle was a crowbar of all things to pummel Jason with, unknowingly triggering the former-Robin's PTSD as a result.
  • When Jason injects himself with the Venom drug, Bucky's response is a dull "Huh." Given Bucky regularly hangs out with the likes of Hulk and Thor, his lack of reaction is understandable.
  • Boomstick's Bond One-Liner, and Wiz' incredulous reaction.
    Boomstick: Looks like Bucky was the win-ter.
    Wiz: (gives Boomstick a Death Glare) The winner is the Winter Soldier.
  • This absolute gem in the YouTube comments.
    Zantari Graves: It’s ok, Jason is used to getting murdered by the fans.

    Venom VS Crona 
  • The way Boomstick starts off the episode:
    Boomstick: It's always nice to have a best friend attached to your hip. Like me and my shotgun leg!
  • Wiz notes that some of the Venom symbiote's former hosts include a heroic Kree soldier, a violent monster who committed genocide... and apparently Deadpool. Even after his loss to the Mask last season, Deadpool still had to be mentioned, much to Wiz's displeasure.
  • When talking about how Venom can psychically project emotions onto others, Boomstick notes that it makes people feel sorry for themselves and then reveals that Wiz isn't so lucky on Tinder.
  • Boomstick concludes that Venom's ability to blow people up via Orifice Invasion with his tendrils would make him a perfect form of entertainment at parties since he could make perfect balloon animals. Wiz notes that any form of entertainment's better than a clown, whereupon a horrified Boomstick decides to go and get drunk to get that image out of his head. Wiz promptly decides to join him, and the preview ends with Boomstick teaching Wiz how to drink beer in the manner of a parent instructing their child(which makes sense when you consider that Wiz Can't Hold His Liquor).
  • Boomstick's concerned reaction to learning about Venom's dark backstory.
    Boomstick: Oh, God... Aliens, tentacles, and mind control?! Are we sure this episode is rated "E" for everyone, or do we need to start blurrin' stuff?
    Wiz: Oh, don't worry. Apart from being a horrible mass murderer, Venom's stories are completely wholesome.
    Boomstick: Right...
  • When Boomstick hears about the symbiote retaining traits of former hosts, like Scorpion's stinger tail, and Flash Thompson's guns, Boomstick asks "Wait, are bullets a genetic trait? How do I pass that on?"note 
  • Boomstick's sheer annoyance at Venom (and the Klyntar race's) new backstory of "being created by the 'Symbiote God' Knull as living weapons to take over the universe".
    Boomstick: And I bet next up Marvel decides they're magic maple syrup people from Asgardian I-Hop. But OK! Cosmic sludge made by alien Satan. Let's go with that.
  • The title for Crona's preview? "Crona Ragna-rocks DEATH BATTLE!"
  • Boomstick is a little weirded out by Lord Death's goofy appearance and compares it to Ryuk and Lady Death. Wiz follows up by warning any viewers unfamiliar with Soul Eater that it's... different.
  • Medusa Gorgon being called "anime Uma Thurman".
  • Unlike Medusa using Crona as her guinea pig, Wizard only uses actual guinea pigs for his work.
  • Boomstick is revealed to have a fear of needles due to the multiple times Wiz used them on him. But when he jumps at the opportunity to be injected with his own weapon like Ragnarok, he passes out, granting Wiz some peace and quiet.
  • To demonstrate the effects of Crona and Ragnarok's screaming attack, Wiz compares it to "plugging an electric guitar into an amplifier", minus the pleasant melodies. Boomstick expresses surprise that Wiz knows how to play the guitar, whereupon Wiz replies that he doesn't, strumming the guitar and causing a horrifying screech that leaves Boomstick briefly petrified with blood coming out of his ears.
  • After Crona defeated the Kishin Ashura in the manga, they developed a wavelength that caused anyone affected by it to become obsessed with breasts, regardless of gender. Boomstick, of course, considers this a positive side effect.
  • The fight begins with Crona arriving at a church that Eddie also happens to be in, and the Venom symbiote decides to have them & Ragnarok for a meal. Crona, being the Nervous Wreck that they are, only went to the church to be alone. Ragnarok, being the Jerkass that he is, pops up from behind them and slaps their head, saying, "HEY! Pay attention, you turd!" It's plausible that Ragnarok's shouting drew Venom's attention instead of Crona. And when Venom attacks? Ragnarok just holds him back by grabbing him in a Neck Lift and holding him At Arm's Length.
  • While the way he says the line makes it come out as more of a Badass Boast, Venom's singsong taunt of choice for this episode is a Disney song.
  • Venom then grabs Crona's ankle with his Overly-Long Tongue and subjects them to Metronomic Man Mashing- in other words, a literal tongue-lashing. And afterwards, Crona has Circling Birdies surrounding their head!
  • When the fight ends in Crona's favor, Boomstick remarks, "Man, these symbiotes really need to stop picking fights with pink-haired anime characters! They're f***ing crazy!"
  • And Boomstick's Bond One-Liner for this episode? "Looks like Venom got Ragna-rocked!"

    Sabrewulf VS Jon Talbain 

    Red VS Blue 
  • The names of the preview videos make you wonder if Boomstick is the one coming up with the titles.
    • The title for the Red team's preview happens to be "Red Team Gets Red-y for DEATH BATTLE!"
    • The name for Blue's preview is even worse, being titled "Blue Team gets Blue-dthirsty in DEATH BATTLE!"
  • At the beginning of the episode before they do the rundowns, Wiz mentions that they'll keep any AIs locked to their main bodies since they're generally invincible unless they stumble into an EMP, where Boomstick corrects him with "emp", to Wiz's confusion.
  • While going over each of The Reds, Boomstick at one point says that Grif is his favorite, because he is The Slacker who only cares about pizza and oreos. Let's not forget that Boomstick abused and attacked Grif every chance he got when they first met in "The Meta vs Carolina". If that's how Boomstick treats his favorite, how does he treat his least favorite?
  • Wiz calls Donut's armor "lightish red armor", promoting Boomstick to ask if his eyes are going bad because Donut's armor is pink.
    Wiz: Eh, magenta.
  • At the end of the Reds preview, Boomstick tries to speak Spanish and says: "Yo como heces de perro azul". He tried to say "We'll cover the Blue Team next time" but actually said, "I eat blue dog's shit". He also thinks perro means blue. It doesn't.
  • While Boomstick points out all the features of Red Team's MJOLNIR armor, we get treated to a trio of clips showcasing, who else, Grif getting shot by his own teammates in order of; Sarge, Donut and Simmons.
  • The fact that Wiz was able to calculate Tucker's luck getting women, but determines that he has very little "game" and that his most frequent hookup is a rock.
  • Boomstick tries to round off the Blue Team's preview by replicating their "pet tank" Sheila- by strapping a bazooka to the back of Mr. Snappy.
    Wiz: WHAT?! No, what are you doing?! Is that thing loaded?!
    Boomstick: No, Wiz. I strapped an unloaded bazooka to a turtle!
    (The bazooka goes off and ends the preview)
  • After mentioning how Caboose didn't even notice gravity increasing tenfold around him, Boomstick points out that Goku had trouble with ten times Earth's gravity, thus Caboose must be stronger than Goku. Wiz tells him not to open those floodgates.
  • How does the battle start? Caboose is fooled by a fake weather report and, being an idiot, sat the flag out as an umbrella, leading the Reds to snatch it.
    Church: Okay, why did we bring the flag out here?
    Caboose: Because it is supposed to rain today. You have to remember to take your flag outside when it rains.
    Church: None of that is right.
    Tucker: What's a flag got to do with rain? Wait, do you think the flag is an umbrella? Caboose, have you ever seen an umbrella before?
  • For added fridge brilliance, the fake weather report doesn't even exist:
    Sarge: Great job with that fake weather report, boys! That's the kind of fake news I like!
    Grif: What fake weather report?
    ...
    (after Sarge dies, it starts to rain)
    Caboose: Good thing the flag is out.
  • Caboose's attempt at a Badass Boast is to use a variant of one of the Zealot Reds' lines ("The only good Blue is a dead Blue"). He... doesn't get it quite right.
    "The only good Red is a Red in bed!"
  • Sarge's plan to deal with Sheila? Trying to ram it with the Warthog, causing it to initiate its self-destruct so it blows up. Simmons' response?
    Simmons: Excellent plan, sir, except for... well... all of it.
  • The only thing Simmons can say as he dies is "hrgk-blergh." Which remain the go-to last words for the other characters, of course.
  • Caboose's response to a plasma grenade getting stuck to Sheila:
    Caboose: Oh no! A spider! (Runs out of Sheila)
  • When the Reds and Blues start skirmishing, Caboose decides to just hide behind a boulder.
  • Grif gets hit in the groin, not once, but twice, by Tex.
  • Lopez' reaction to getting impaled by Tucker (and about to have his head cut off):
    Lopez: Mierda. (F**k.)
  • How does Sarge react to Tex killing Grif? Very well, unsurprisingly.
    "Huh, 'bout time."
  • Church completely and utterly failing to hit Donut, with the latter dancing as the shots keep missing.
  • Caboose gets his hands on a sniper rifle that Church discarded, and, in true Caboose fashion, ends up killing Church. He also, however, ends up killing Donut, Tex, AND Tucker with the same bullet. He also blames Tucker when his shot kills Tex first.
    Church: Son of a bi—
  • The ending of the fight. Sarge approaches Caboose and gives a speech that is meant to be epic for one final showdown... and then the grenade Tucker threw into the teleporter at the beginning of the fight appears right in front of Sarge, unceremoniously blowing him up and ending the fight in the Blues' favor.
    Sarge: This is it. This is what it's all about. Red vs. Blue. Blood vs. Water, which is really just tasteless, lifeless waste-of-space blood. Destiny awaits! Today, the cerulean devil dies!
    (Tucker's grenade reappears right in front of Sarge.)
    Sarge: Well, should've seen that coming.
    (The grenade explodes, killing Sarge.)
    Sarge: Blegh.
  • Before the fight, Wiz offers to test out the teams' teleportation portal, by sending DUMMI through it. DUMMI dryly asks "What could go wrong?" right before he goes in on Wiz's side... and fails to emerge on Boomstick's side. And then, at the end of the fight, DUMMI re-emerged from the portal and robs Boomstick of his thunder/Bond One-Liner:
    Boomstick: Ah, if only they'd "Red" that they'd end up with a case of the "Blues".
    DUMMI: (popping out of the portal): That's even without releasing the obviously superior power of artificial intelligence units.
    Boomstick: You know, DUMMI, ya ever wonder why you're here?
    DUMMI: All the time.

    Batgirl VS Spider-Gwen 

    Sanji VS Rock Lee 

    Hulk VS Broly 
  • Someone on the Death Battle Reddit pointed out you can actually spot the Chuck Norris and Segata Sanshiro Constellation in the trailer. No seriously, they managed to sneak it in again!
  • When covering Bruce Banner's career as a gamma radiation researcher, they include the scene of Tony Stark jabbing Banner in The Avengers (2012), and next to Tony's head is superimposed the caption "U MAD BRO?".
  • Boomstick calls the Hulk "one of the strongest motherhubbers in all of Marvel".
  • Boomstick notes that the Hulk reverts back to Banner if under too much pressure... or too many puppies.
  • At the end of the preview for The Hulk, it is explained that when Boomstick drank all the Speed-Force sodas he was officially classified as a "natural disaster" and the governent made Wiz legally responsible for all of Boomstick's future actions. Boomstick then says he is going to go commit some petty crimes, just because Wiz has been too happy lately. Wiz ends the preview desperately telling Boomstick to put down the crowbar he's holding.
  • A Funny Background Event during Hulk's analysis: When Boomstick is mentioning how The Hulk can survive in space, it shows a green crewmate being ejected.
  • While highlighting Hulk's numerous personalities, Boomstick brings up his constantly depressed personality, Kluh, and dismisses him as "Kinda dumb".
  • There's something unreasonably funny about the fact that Wiz and Boomstick manage to legitimately determine the Green Scar's likely power output by virtue of comparing the two times Hulk slept with Umar. While Wiz thinks Boomstick's referring to a battle when he mentions the Hulks' "smashing", he's disgusted to realize what Boomstick was really referring to.
    Boomstick: I think I just invented a new field of science! The science of the f[beep]k!
  • Then there's the entire segment describing the recent stuff from Immortal Hulk, describing the sudden Genre Shift to a Cosmic Horror Story to the bombastic tune of Verdi: Requiem, Dies irae to fit the sudden tone shift. Wiz's confused tone as he started to explain things only sell the jarring shift even more.
    Boomstick: Now, you might be thinkin' this gamma stuff is nuts, and you're right, because it's Satan magic!
  • The intro for Broly's preview, if only because of Boomstick's irreverence:
    Wiz: The Saiyans, a brutal alien race of interstellar conquerors-
    Boomstick: And giant monkey men!
  • When describing Broly's past, both Wiz and Boomstick have to clarify which Vegeta they're talking about- King Vegeta, the Saiyans' planet Vegeta, and the Prince Vegeta.
  • Wiz stating that Broly has an unnaturally-high power level of ten thousand.
    Boomstick: What, over nine thousand?! Alright, alright, I'm sorry. I got it out of my system.
  • Boomstick sympathizes with Broly's no-longer-canon backstory of being driven mad and evil by Goku's incessant crying when they were both babies, since he has had to put up with Baby Mario's own crying every time he plays Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
  • Boomstick calling out King Vegeta for banishing the unnaturally powerful Broly to Vampa, right before Frieza came and nuked his planet.
    Boomstick: Nice job getting rid of your crazy strong Saiyan baby! Idiot.
  • Boomstick states that Broly's Wrath State makes him as powerful as a Saiyan Great Ape "without all the fur, or the shedding".
  • Also comes across as Tear Jerker due to the circumstances, but Boomstick notes that Frieza murdering Broly's abusive father Paragus to force him to unlock a Super Saiyan form is basically what happened to Boomstick when his dad left him... except Boomstick became a super alcoholic instead.
  • Boomstick tuning out of Wiz' discussing Broly's Super Saiyan A, B, and C forms and having a flashback of his father leaving to buy a pack of cigarettes and never returning to his son? Sad? Boomstick tuning in again to declare that Broly's "Super Saiyan Vitamin C form" gave him the power to "wail on Frieza for over an hour, and this time, I mean 'wail' as in 'fight'"? Hilarious.
    • In the background of Boomstick's flashback, Wiz' explanation is drowned out and you can hear him saying "Blah, Blah, Blah".
  • Boomstick misnames Broly's "Gigantic Omegastorm" as the "Gigantic Orgasm". Boomstick decides to rename his dick "Gigantic Omegastorm". In the preview, Wiz recalls it was named "Righteous Indignation" and groans that he couldn't believe he remembered that.
  • More Black Comedy. In the fight itself, Broly grabs Hulk's head and pulls it off, which is what killed him in his first Death Battle (well, that and Doomsday giving him a No Holds Barred Beat Down and sticking spikes in him). But instead, Hulk goes through the Green Door, makes his body stand up again, and punches Broly away before reattaching his head.
    • Before and after this, respectively, Broly and Hulk drop memes from each other's series:
      Broly: You're... making me angry. You won't like me when I'm angry.
      Hulk: [I am] the DEVIL!
  • There's something that's both rather funny and awesome about how Hulk and Broly finish the fight with rapid fire headbutts that outright shatter MULTIPLE realities.
  • Broly, after an intense beatdown with the Hulk, only has a sore throat to show for his troubles.
  • While also terrifying and awesome, there's something somewhat hilarious about the fact the only logical way to quantify the two combatant's powers is to use our universe as a unit of measure.
  • Boomstick's Bond One-Liner.
    This Incredible fight was in-Saiyan.
  • The stinger which involves DUMMI delivering a message to Boomstick given to him by a strange green man in a zoot suit, which turns out to have something to do with Boomstick's father. One of the many hilarious intepretations we could take from this is that the Mask is Boomstick's father... which would explain some... things.
