Recap / Freshy Kanal "Spider-Man vs. Tarzan"

Go To

It's swinging time as Marvel superhero Spider-Man raps against the ape-man Tarzan.


This rap battle contains examples of:

  • And There Was Much Rejoicing: Downplayed, as Dustin doesn't explicitly die, but he "doesn't feel so good" after catching an STD according to the Daily Bugle headline and "everyone rejoices".
  • Building Swing: Spider-Man is first seen before even the title card swinging in the city using his webs. He is later seen swinging from building to building again during his second verse and the "Who Won?" part.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus:
    • The Daily Bugle newspaper during Tarzan's "I don't feel so good" line has some humorous headlines and a "Wait What's the Date Today?" text instead of an actual date.
    • During "the Amazing's ratings" line, Clayton's blackboard has a "Please stop asking me to edit" writing on it.
  • Hashtag Rap: How Spidey makes a Looney Tunes reference.
    Spider-Man: Always spitting Looney gibberish — a Tarz-manian Devil!
  • Just the Introduction to the Opposites: In the newspaper, one of the headlines says that a boy got beaten up for coming out as straight.
  • Mic Drop: Tarzan drops a mic when telling Spidey to "drop the mic harder than [Spidey's] love life."
  • Primal Chest-Pound: After proclaiming he will defend Jane from Spider-Man, Tarzan pounds his chest while yelling his Signature Roar.
  • Shout-Out: Early in his first verse, Spider-Man compares Tarzan's way of speaking to that of Tasmanian Devil and calls him "another beast without a beauty".
  • Vine Swing: Naturally, as Tarzan is the Trope Codifier. Let's just say he swings on vines a lot in this battle, including in the thumbnail and when the announcer announces him.
