EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY

If you make the claim "The Final Battle", make it something ultimate (like FDR vs. Mussolini or God vs. L. Ron Hubbard or Steve Jobs vs. Tesla or something cool). Instead, we get these two losers and some other random guy as the referee.

It's just like the Horse Apples episode of Wonder Showzen. A complete cop out.

I get it if you didn't like the meta-ness of the final battle and wanted something more epic, but I'm confused as to how you can call the guys who write and perform the ER Bs "losers" if you enjoy the battles.

It's the people who make the videos. You realize that, right?

I hate it when people look for reasons to get offended about pieces of media.

Aw man, those guys were such losers

I mean

they only made Epic Rap Battle and stuff

They're not even famous or anything

it says so right in the video

I guess I was a bit harsh.

But still, to play yourselves in the episode and then hype as the greatest thing ever makes you seem completely narcissistic. Maybe had they titled it "We've Officially Run Out Of Ideas" and stripped down everything, it wouldn't have been as bad. But no, they hyped up to be great and it was awful.

Well they do MAKE the battles and noneffectively play all the characters, it's like how in marvel The One above all is Stan lee, or the last ep of BTBATB. They are effectively the two most powerful beings in the erbohverse.

That was disappointing.

Eh, they sold out when they confirmed Steve Jobs.

I'm rather curious as to how people who rely on fan suggestions for who to put in their videos can possibly sell out.

I personally thought that it was just the season finale.

Plus, how can they sell out when they are taking peoples suggestions? Or is it that you just don't like Steve Jobs?

some good lines but -shrugs- nothing amazing.

I'm just looking forward to seeing Henry VIII and the Mario Bros.

'Sold out' probably wasn't the best choice of words.

What I meant is that they have so many viewer suggestions, and picked one because it was popular, instead of interesting or funny.

How many times have you thought "that character's rap should've been way better"?

Of course, that's only an assumption. I'd be really impressed if they can come up with something genuinely good.

I wouldn't have expected anything good to come out of Christopher Columbus, but there you go.

Does anyone know if a Master Chief/The Mario Bros. battle is in the future? The preview at the end of the last battle showed both, and it'd make sense.

I have to say I was kind of disappointed with the newest episode. I mean we have the two creators of Epic Rap Battles fighting in the ring and it was called "The Final Battle". It turned out just to be a 5-minute trailer for the second season. Still I found it decent. Their last battle (Colombus vs. Kirk) WAS WAY BETTER in my opinion.

It was epic, it'd be like seeing a Primus Unicron fight in Transformers.

New episode. It's a Vader and Hitler rematch.

The beat is great, as usual, but it was the ending that got me.

Um. Are you sure about that? Cuz I'm getting nothing on Youtube.

A link would be nice.

oap, no I found it. It's tagged as Season 2, whereas I just looked up 16, which was the wrong thing to do.

Solid rap on both sides. Vader gets the win this time.

Link.

... Well that was odd.

I watched the season premiere of ERB and it was really awesome. I think I liked the rematch more than the original battle. I liked this battle because I believed it was leading up to something... well, epic. Also, I think Hitler's rap was his C Mo A as it seems Hitler has had it with Vader and does him in with a Curb Stomb Battle. Although, I do admit I kind of felt sorry for Hitler at the end... as wrong as that sounds.

I didn't like the second Hitler/Vader battle. Hitler utterly schools Vader, but then he dies anyway. Stupid. They're supposed to win by rapping. I don't care if they think Hitler is an Acceptable Target.

I see it as 1-1. Vader's first verse had better flow and Hitler's disses were really not that great.

I think it's a pretty good battle overall and the beat is the best one yet, but I was disappointed in how many things they reused from Round 1.

Robot testicles, "you look whatever, Vader, you something something, do this holocaust reference, etc."
