Here's Gordon Ramsay vs. Julia Child.
Spoiler:Beat:
Relevance-I don't think this fits Julia Child very well. Maybe Gordon Ramsay, but when I saw this match-up I laughed, and so I kind of feel like a more bouncy, light-hearted beat would fit this better. Something like Adam vs. Eve. 1.5/2.5
Catchiness-Even if the melody itself isn't too catchy, the drums really stick in your head. 2.5/2.5
Intensity-Yes, definitely no issues here. 2.5/2.5
Variety-They start adding a bunch of new sounds around Child's verse, and the rest of the battle has some stuff sprinkled throughout too. 2.5/2.5
Overall: There's a lot to like about this beat. I just wish it were a little more happy during Child's parts. Still pretty good. 9/10
Costumes:
Gordon Ramsay-He looks a little younger than most pictures I see of Ramsay, but I'll throw them a bone and say they're doing a young Gordon Ramsay. 2/2
Julia Child-Again, giving them the benefit of the doubt and saying this is younger Julia Child. Mamrie actually looks a lot like Child in some shots where she's scraunching her face up. 2/2
Extras-Blue team looks pretty cool, the little cameos in Gordon's first verse are cool, it's all cool. 1/1
Impressions:
Gordon Ramsay-One of my gripes with the battle. He's got the accent down pretty good, he's got the facial mannerisms down pretty good, it's just too high pitched. I feel like Peter maybe could've done the pitch of the voice better, but he sounds less threatening with Lloyd's voice pitch. They should've lowered it or something. 1.25/2.5
Julia Child-Pretty close, about as close as you're going to get if you ask me. Maybe Mamrie has a little too much Miss Piggy in her voice, but it's for comedic purposes anyway, and Child does sometimes sound like that, so I can't really take off points. 2.5/2.5
Gordon Ramsay:
Round 1:
And that's how you make a perfect risotto.
I won't count this line because it's not really part of the verse.
Right. Mrs. Child, welcome to the grown-ups' table.
Great opener.
I've got exactly two minutes, and you should be grateful
I think this is a reference to Julia Child's "I'm so glad that you spent this time with me!" catch phrase, in which case this line is really subtle and awesome.
'Cause I'm in the fucking weeds with all these shows to pitch!
Kind of a follow up on the last line.
I keep my ovens preheated and my pilots green-lit!
Really clever pilots pun.
I'm a seasoned skillet; you're a PAM-sprayed pan!
Cool comparison line.
I got Michelin stars; you're like the Michelin Man!
Pretty clever for a fat joke.
I'm rolling in dough like beef wellington from hollering,
I guess the rolling in dough pun is a little obvious, but I still like it.
And I'm shitting on you like I'm whack-flows intolerant!
Funny.
Verse Overview: I'm glad I don't do verse scores individually anymore, because I'd have a hard time deciding whether or not to give this a 10. The only line in it that isn't clever is the shows to pitch line, which isn't even that bad. Definitely a 9.75 or 10.
Round 2:
I'm glad you got that off your giant, flabby chest!
Pretty simplistic fat joke.
I'd call you a donkey, but you look more like Shrek!
This is clever, and she does kinda look like Shrek so it works.
When the Iron Man chef busts a rhyme,
Cool reference mixing.
I'll open up on you like a fine red wine!
Pretty good.
I'm a culinary innovator; you're no creator!
Regurgitating French plates like a glorified translator!
Also pretty good.
I'm fresh; you're past your expiration date!
Again, pretty good.
Alright, fuck it! Blue team, drop the bouillabaisse! (Yes, chef!)
I like this pun, and it fits here in a place where the line could've easily been a throwaway line.
I've seen your little show, and it sure ain't pretty!
One part Big Bird, two parts Miss Piggy!
I think this is fairly clever.
You can't test me with your fatty recipes!
Call your book Mastering the Art of Heart Disease!
Not super genius but funny.
I mean, it's rubbish! (Yes, chef!) Look at page 408!
Tell me, who the fuck (yes, chef!) wants to learn to cook calf brains?!
Kind of fact statey in a way.
You call these rhymes raw? (No, chef!) They're stale and soft!
A little obvious but I still think it's a good line.
Now, here, take this jacket… Now, give it back and fuck off!
Funny and a really clever reference that I wouldn't have thought to make.
Verse Overview: Not quite as flawless as the last verse, but still absolutely top notch. A solid 9 going on 9.25.
Overall: 19/20
Julia Child:
Round 1:
Oh, isn't that a wonderful thing?
A grumpy little chef who thinks he can bring
Enough stuff to justify getting rough
With the butter-loving queen of the Bourguignon Boeuf!
There's really no strong references in any of these first four lines. It's all about flow, and the flow isn't even that strong.
I rock hard as concrete on top of these bomb beats!
No reference here, really anyone in any ERB ever could say this line to anyone.
Been chopping the pommes frites since you sucked on your mom's teats!
Alright, this one gave me a laugh. Having "pommes frites" rhyme with "mom's teats" is really clever and funny.
I served America dutifully, and I slice lard beautifully!
The rhyme here is kind of funny but nothing too clever.
I reign supreme from shark repellent to charcuterie!
"Shark repellent" and "charcuterie" is an interesting sort of play on words.
Go on and cross your arms in that B-boy stance!
Not extremely clever, but definitely funny.
When it comes to haute cuisine, there's one F-word: France!
Also funny.
Here's a nice amuse-bouche: take a poor abused youth,
Good set-up.
Set a thirty-year timer, voila! Huge douche!
Not genius, but funny.
You're a namby-pamby candy-ass pansy, Gordon Ramsay!
I don't know if this line has any real references beyond "candy" being a food. Which I guess is OK.
You couldn't rap your way out of a pastry bag, understand me?
Pretty good.
I laugh and create; you berate and destroy,
But fear, my dear boy, is less scrumptious than joy!
It does sound like something she'd say, but it's not a reference to anything as far as I'm aware.
Verse Overview: Lacking in references, but there's some decent wordplay in this. Picks up a lot around the middle, and then slows down a bit at the end. I'd maybe give it somewhere between an 8, 8.25, or maybe 8.5 if I'm being generous.
Round 2:
Oh please, your defeat's guaranteed!
FILLERRRRR
Concede, I've got this in the bag: sous-vide!
Really nice pun.
(Ha!) Michelin indeed, you've done well for yourself,
But as a person, you couldn't get a star on Yelp!
Funny, and personal.
I could freeze a steak with those frosted tips!
yes
What's with that bitter taste in every word from your lips?
Kinda pointless.
You scream at women, but the fits that you're pitching
Make you the pissiest bitch in the kitchen!
I really like the flow and delivery of these lines, and it's not a BAD line, so I'll give it credit.
I'll pat you on the head, melt you, and stick it to ya!
Didn't get these 3 puns until now. Pretty clever.
Anything's good with enough butter! Booya!
OK, kinda stretching for a rhyme.
Oh, I'm so glad you spent this time with me!
Now, eat a dick! Bon appétit!
Great finisher. Not super clever, but memorable, funny, and well delivered.
Verse Overview: A step up, definitely less filler, I'd give it a 9ish.
Overall: 17.5/20
Ungraded Stuff:
Idea-One of my favorite ideas was Ronald McDonald vs. Gordon Ramsay, since it'd allow Peter to really rip into McDonalds. I also like Ramsay vs. Cowell, but I'm definitely satisfied with what they went with in the end. Fits the theme of the series, and Julia Child is a pretty big name I guess.
Presentation-Awesome effects all around. Super fun to watch, sets are awesome, cameos are great. I kind of think the "jacket line" could've been done a little better, maybe had a blackout or something to emphasize the cliffhanger effect, but that's a very minor gripe.
Overall Battle: This is an awesome battle. Definitely my favorite of the season so far, and maaaaybe one of my all time favorites. The lyrics are pretty brilliant, the beat's pretty cool, the costumes are pretty great, the effects kick ass, it's just a really strong battle with only a few noticeable issues. 9/10
Gordon Ramsay's Worst Line: I'm a culinary innovator; you're no creator!
It was kinda hard to pick a worst, because Ramsay is one of the most consistent rappers lyrically ERB's ever had. But this line is pretty bland I guess.
Gordon Ramsay's Best Line: And I'm shitting on you like I'm whack-flows intolerant!
This one just has the biggest impact for me. Honorable mentions are grateful line, greenlit pilots, and the jacket line.
Julia Child's Worst Line: Oh please, your defeat's guaranteed!
Doesn't need to exist.
Julia Child's Best Line: I'll pat you on the head, melt you, and stick it to ya!
I just love the puns. Honorable mentions are F-word, huge douche, sous-vide, and eat a dick.
Winner: Gordon Ramsay (19/20) over Julia Child (17.5/20)
Total Score: 63.25/70
I never got to actually analyze this battle, but you're right, Ramsay had almost 0 filler lines, holy shit
I like a lot of the lines you brushed off :c
I agree that Ramsay murdered that cow
I missed the "grateful" joke, that may or may not be enough to boost my own score for that verse xP
Hate to do this since I JUST started back up, but these will be on hold UNTIL WEDNESDAY WHEN I PROMISE YOU 100% THERE WILL BE A REVIEW ON WEDNESDAY AND I'LL BE BACK IN BUSINESS
Alright I'm back in action. First is review of Suit of Space Chapter 3. Next is Polar vs. Gunnut.
Spoiler:-Interesting hook, gets people excited in reading the chapter.
-The death scene for Brandon is awesome, detailed, and well done.
-Definitely needs more than a paragraph to dwell on the whole "having just killed someone thing". After that paragraph, it just jumps immediately back into the story.
-Wished there had been more chemistry and dialogue between the two main characters before Liam confessed his feelings. I can excuse it because it's not really the focus of the story, but still, this plot development made me wishing for more of a relationship between the two.
-Nightmare is less scary this time, more trippy and psychadelic. I think I like the other ones more.
-I kinda just feel like a little too much happens in this chapter. Some of these events, like the death of Brandon and the confession of feelings and the suit in the box feel like they each could deserve their own chapter dedicated to them, instead of having them all happen here.
Can you review my Erwin Rommel vs. Big Boss? http://www.erboh.com/forum/showthrea...l=1#post436431 (Reference guide isn't up yet, but, I figure by the time you get to it I'll have it done)
Reviewing Gunnut's new verses for his REWF against Polar (Ripper vs. Lecter)
Spoiler:Round 1:
Bore, you're a tragic reputation whore
I kinda like the subtle PolarWhore reference.
You only got to the top by begging me for more
Little fact statey.
You shouldn't have left the spaceship, I'll make you scream like Ranger
Both of these references are funny.
Quit boring me on the mic and get in the suka chamber
Could've been a better suka chamber joke.
And Feel what the straighter face of no mercy will implement
Kinda of obvious references.
Memes so swag that they're against the rules to mention
I do like this boast.
But the mere thought of wasting my phallic tools on you is causing me to lament
Cause your rapping hasn't improved since we battled as the captains
Funny.
You robbed mods of their rank cause they just didn't log onto ERBoH
Like a shorter, swagless, unworthy Wumbo
Cool connection.
These days, your name's associated with a crap battles series you shelved
And you hardly ever wrote even a single line by your self
A little fact statey but I can forgive because it parodies the original really well.
Verse Overview: A few of the references feel a little thrown in there, but I like enough of them that I might give this verse like a 9 or 8.75.
Round 2:
No, no, Jill, you weren't doing bad
Jill-Jack is pretty clever.
Before you blew your load on poorly insulting Gonad
Funny.
How boring to see PolarBore try to go in to kill Leon Lime
Not too much of a joke.
Check Wyatt Hertz's corpse and learn what happened when he tried
Good parody of the original.
I'm the ERBoH r***stickist, a Washington Post-er dude
Washington Post-er is clever, but this isn't really a boast.
With swag stacked to the roof who's memes survived the ban they've been through
True, not super clever but OK.
Don't get me wrong, I've seen your moderator log posts
But for a super mod you're as ordinary as the spamboats
Not really much of a specific reference.
You infract Sunk for nothing, and your usernames suck
I don't care you say you're a "bore", Polar, I know that you're a duck
Not super clever, kind of a funny parody of the original line.
Lohuy, let's ban Bruno for the entirety of 5ever
Barely a reference.
This short Brazilian's ass just got Sparta kicked far
Pretty fun reference mixing.
Verse Overview: Definitely no shortage of references. Jokes are hit and miss, but since so many are attempted that still adds up to around an 8.5.
Overall: 16.75/10

Here's my Frederick Douglass vs. Thomas Jefferson review.
Spoiler:Beat:
Relevance-Jefferson's beat fits him really well. The whistles feel very revolutionary-ish. Kind of too warrish, considering Jefferson didn't actually fight in the war, but I can't take off points for that. Douglass' beat also fits Smoove's portrayal of Douglass. The actual Frederick Douglass lived kind of a hard life and was pretty serious most of the time from what I gather, so this is a little bouncy, but this Douglass is sort of supposed to be a bit of an Ice Cube parody stylistically, and this beat does feel a little NWAish so I can't take off point there either. 2.5/2.5
Catchiness-This one definitely stuck in my head. Both Douglass' beat and Jefferson's beat have some fun instruments. 2.5/2.5
Intensity-Both beats are intense to a degree. Douglass' is a little too campy maybe. 1.75/2.5
Variety-Definitely enough. I like this new trend of every rapper having their own beat ala Mozart vs. Skrillex. 2.5/2.5
Overall: Beats here are mostly flawless, nothing really to rag on aside from a slight lack of intensity. 9.25/10
Costumes:
Thomas Jefferson-It's definitely Thomas Jefferson. 2.5/2.5
Frederick Douglass-It's definitely Frederick Douglass. 2.5/2.5
Impressions:
Thomas Jefferson-Apparently Thomas Jefferson had a very high pitched voice and a lisp, and didn't like public speaking. They could've done something clever with that. Pretty nitpicky so I can't take off too much, but still. 2/2.5
Frederick Douglass-All that's known about his voice is that he was a powerful speaker, and this is pretty powerful. 2.5/2.5
Thomas Jefferson:
When in the course of human events
It becomes necessary for a battle to commence
Cool opener. I think it's kind of clever to have Jefferson open up with the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence.
Then kplow! I hit 'em with the illness of my quill
Apparently Jefferson invented the moldboard plow, which I hope is what's being referenced here, because that's pretty clever.
I'm endowed with certain unalienable skills
A little obvious but still pretty awesome.
Let me run down my resume, will ya?
Funny set-up, not really a reference to anything though.
Set up a little place called the United States, sound familiar?
Pretty funny.
I told King George he could eat a fat dick
Kinda funny, but not hilarious or anything.
When it comes to declaration I'm the first draft pick
Clever pun.
I'll topple any tyrant, so kings and pirates beware
Slightly fact statey, but still decent references.
I'm so down with revolutions, I invented the swivel chair
Awesome connection.
I've many volumes on my shelves, it's true
But I've yet to read the three books you wrote about YOU
Not too much to dis about Frederick (which probably explains the second verse), so this is pretty clever.
Looking like a skunk in a three piece suit
Didn't come back from Paris to battle Pepe Le Pew
Great reference.
First Secretary of State, VP number two
Not to mention third president, the fuck'd you do?
Kinda fact statey, but a real legitimate dis.
Verse Overview: Very strong, almost every other line is pretty clever. Like a 9.25.
Round 2:
Oh Frederick, I've never heard a verse I dug less
Obvious, but good.
Alright I admit it, I confess
oh no
I participated in a broken system that I hated
But I needed to keep my financial status situated
Well, ok, let's try to be a little fair here. For what they're trying to do, they aren't doing it horribly. There's some wordplay in these lines. It's not AMAZING wordplay, but these lines could definitely be worse.
And the words I used where "hideous blot"
To describe the slave trade and the pain it hath brought
And I fought to stop the trade of new slaves in Virginia
These three lines don't have anything redeemable about them. They're just fact statey.
When I ran the whole state and still made it home for dinner
So forgive me, I was busy, man, I had a lot to do
But we did it, you're free now, so...we cool?
These last 3 lines are all pretty funny, not extremely clever (unless the last line is as backhanded as some have suggested), but they're OK.
Verse Overview: I don't think this is the worst verse ERB's ever had. It's fact statey, yeah, but it's not horribly written. There's a little wordplay and a little humor. I'd give it like a 6-6.5 maybe, but I wouldn't go higher than a 7.
Overall: 16.25/20
Frederick Douglass:
Round 1:
You finished?
Okay
why
genius has no explanation, wiki has no explanation, why is this a thing
Straight outta bondage! A brainy mother fucker here to diss you
I like this.
Big hair, big nuts, big issues
No reference here aside from the big hair. Maybe issues is a reference to Douglass' newspaper? I dunno that might be stretching
Starting with your nickel, there's a real declaration
Is there a pun here I'm not getting?
Heads for racist, tails for a slave plantation
Pretty clever.
You're a soft white Monticello Marshmallow
Watching my people sweat while you sat playing cello
I guess this is some decent Monticello wordplay.
Hello! But now you're facing me, Freddy D
Doesn't need to be here. Freddy D is kind of humorous but that's it.
I'd never work for your ass, but I'll kick it for free
Pretty good.
Your stone face on Rushmore ain't nothing
Check my photos, now that's real muggin'
Kinda funny.
The face of a free man, taught himself to read, man
Fact statey.
No compromise, you couldn't whip a 5th of me, man!
A little obvious, but it works.
You got a self evident truth of your own
Cool set up.
You let freedom ring, but never picked up the phone!
I like this pun.
Verse Overview: Some of the lines are kinda dumb and pointless, but I like enough of them. Like a 8-9.
Round 2:
This ain't Louisiana man, I ain't buying it
Good comeback.
You talk about freedom, but you ain't applying shit!
No reference.
So no, we ain't cool, you founding absentee father
Daaaaaamn
You had six babies with your slave mama and never even bothered
To free her when you died on the 4th of July
Too fact statey
It's a very important holiday but what the fuck does it mean to this guy?
Kind of a cool, subtle reference.
Cause I celebrate December 6th, 1865
The day the 13th damn amendment was ratified
Not very clever set up.
And I ceased to be an alien to your unalienable rights
Decent pun.
And "We, the People" stopped meaning "We the people, who are white!"
It works good enough.
Man, you did some good things, I ain't denying your fame
I'm just saying, they need to put an asterisk next to your name
I get it, I just don't think it's super clever. Not a terrible finisher though.
Verse Overview: There's a good amount to like in here. It gets like a 7.5.
Overall: 17/20
Ungraded Stuff:
Idea-I really like this match-up. Definitely slanted in favor of Douglass, but these are two of the most prominent freedom fighters in US History, with a real believable beef. There are a lot of good opponents for both of them, so I don't know if this is the absolute best match-up they could've done, but I think it's a good one nonetheless.
Presentation-The North Star in Douglass' background is a nice touch, the swivel chair is cool, the cameos are badass, there's some good stuff in this. Not quite as strong visually as the other battles this season, but still very impressive.
Overall Battle: I don't think it's that much worse than the recent quality standard of ERB. I disagree with a lot of the artistic decisions in this battle in terms of how to write the lyrics, but it still does have a lot of laughs and is fun to listen to. Also, the flow doesn't really bother me at all. It just makes it unique for me, but I can definitely understand why others wouldn't be crazy about it. [B]8.5/10[B]
Thomas Jefferson's Worst Line: Alright, I admit it, I confess.
I get what ERB's trying to do in this verse, they just could've done it in a more lyrically clever way.
Thomas Jefferson's Best Line: Didn't come back from Paris to battle Pepe Le Pew!
This was just a really clever reference and connection. Honorable mentions are unalienable skills, first draft pick, and revolutions,
Frederick Douglass' Worst Line: Man, you did some good things, I ain't denying your fame
Basically what I said with Jefferson.
Frederick Douglass' Best Line: So no we ain't cool, you founding absentee father!
I just found this one the most brutal. Honorable mentions are kick your ass, 3/5s compromise and freedom ring.
Winner: Frederick Douglass (17/20) over Thomas Jefferson (16.25/20)
Total Score: 60.5/70
You were positive about this battle without saying anything I disagree with :OOO
well actually I probably dislike both of Fred's verses more but still
Man, if Jeff had a decent second verse this would've been a pretty good battle. Great review tho.
If you get the time, can you review this?

Deadpool:
BEGIN! Wait what, it already started? Fuck. Does it count as filler
-Deadpool is caught off guard by the battle starting, and breaking the 4th, he is curious if the line he fumbled would be counted as “filler” in the review-
If this chiller fitter hitter pulls the trigger killing clowns quicker
-The “filler” line is continued by asking if it’s filler to fill Joker with bullets. Also
Chiller = DP is more calm than Joker
Fitter = DP is more fit and well-trained than Joker
Hitter = Hitman-
Than Grass Roots Trevor, except sicker. I’m Dante except my demons are inner
-Grass Roots Trevor is a GTA V mission where Trevor Phillips, another psycho, slaughters tons and tons of clowns. Also a reference to the fact that I almost did DP vs Trevor.. DP compares himself (and he’s not the first one) to Dante, except his demons (Dante is half-demon and fights Demons) are inner. Deadpool has a lot of inner struggles in the comics, not knowing if killing people is ok or not.-
Hell, I’m a sinner, but I’m also a giver, I’ll hand you your ass and also the finger
-Hell, I’m a sinner is a play on words, and also a reference to what I said above. Playing on the fact that DP is crude, he will definitely flip you the finger-
I’m a Rated-R Superstar, so much Edge and that’s not counting Katanas
-Deadpool’s movie is the highest grossing Rated-R movie. In the WWE, Edge’s name was the Rated-R Superstar. Also Katanas have edges, duh.-
I’m fucking bananas, I’m just like Santa, rewarding bad kids with hand-cannons
-Deadpool is saying he’s crazy. Also, he had a period where the only people he killed were those who deserved it, ala Punisher. Therefore, he compares himself to Santa. One is Red and White one is Red and Black-
This is a funny match-up, you’re fighting in Wayne, but no pressure, I fought lesser
-Funny Match-up: Two people known for the jokes.
Fighting in Wayne: Play on vain-Wayne, and referencing that whatever happens, Joker can’t kill DP-
If you ever feel Under the weather, Red Hood, just write it down in your Ledger
-Play on Under the Red Hood, the title of an animated movie featuring the Red Hood, Joker’s former persona, and also calling him depressed and suicidal, referencing Heath Ledger, the actor who portrayed the Joker in the Dark Knight, actor who killed himself. Ledger is also a type of journal, in which a sad person might write what he feels-
Joker:
Making suicide jokes is ironic after trying to kill yourself for one full comic
-Deadpool tries to kill himself in Deadpool Vol 2 53, since he lost his regenerative powers-
With disease AND failure chronic, I guess to DP losing it is iconic
-A wordplay on “losing” = chronic failure and losing it = chronic disease = insanity-
You’re a plague to heroes everywhere, a modern bubonic, you’re truly idiotic
-It’s well known that wherever Deadpool goes, everyone wants him gone. Also, “modern bubonic” references the plague as well as well… deadpool’s face looks a lot like he has the plague. Also he calls him idiotic so that next verse he can…-
I’m a master of the mind and on the track, call me J. Tetch, cause my flows are hypnotic
-Say that he’s a mastermind, and he masters the track. Jervis Tetch is the Mad Hatter in the DC universe, and uses hypnosis mainly. “J” is usually what Joker is called by Harley Quinn and himself sometimes, so it’s a play on J-Jervis Tetch as well as hypnosis-hypnotic flows-
I’m afraid I set the crowbar too low for people who like Robin’ identities
-MORE WORDPLAY: 1. Joker killed the Robin, Jason Todd, with a crowbar.
2. Deadpool stole Deathstroke’s identity, sorta. He also directly stole T-Ray’s identity, or that’s what he says in the comic.
3. Set the bar too low: Joker’s saying that Deadpool was based after him, which is half-true. Joker is the OG, after all.-
Call me crazy (HAHAHA) but didn’t I see you in the eighties?
-Joker IS crazy, but he did see Deadpool in the eighties, he’s referring the first apparition of Deathstroke in 1980. Deadpool appeared later in 1991.-

-From Clown Prince of Crime, Joker calls himself the Clown King of Rhyme. Wade Wilson (Deadpool) was a soldier in the canadian army before Weapon X.
Jack Granatstein is a canadian historian who wrote many books on history, including “Who killed the Canadian Military?”. Joker tells him that it was him, by killing Deadpool on this track-
Let’s put some sideburns on that face, and some balls in that suit: Ta-da: Wolverine!
-A play on “let’s put a smile on that face” and also referencing that Deadpool is Wolverine without the facial hair and the courage. Also the “Ta-da” is a reference to Joker’s “magic tricks”-
Deadpool
Listen, Infinite Midlife Crisis, calling you crazy would be an understatement!
-Infinite Crisis is a comic where Joker is one of the main villains. DP combines that with “Midlife Crisis”, saying that Joker is experiencing an infinite case of personality crisis, in the fact that he’s crazy and he has no real backstory that he remembers-
I can bring entertainment pre and post-mortem, the laughs you get are belated
-DP is saying that he actually makes people laugh, whereas Joker only uses deadly laughing gas, leaving people with toxic smiles on their face, post-mortem-
Ask Turtle who’s number one, I can out-wit, out-joke and out-fuck you anyday
-DP breaks the shit out of the fourth wall, referencing that I’m a bigger fan of DP than the Joker. Also, DP is saying he’s wittier, funnier, and surprisingly fucked more chicks than him. Which is actually true-
Fighting me, you need Salvation, Run! X gon’ give it you harder than the CCA
-Salvation Run is a comic series where the Joker is also the main villain. Also references the DMX song used in the Deadpool Movie, “X gonna give it to you”, as in Weapon X (or Agent X, Deadpool’s clone) is going to fuck him up harder than the CCA.
The CCA is the Comics Code Authority, which made all superheroes and villains more… child-friendly. It also turned the Joker into a fun-loving trickster guy, completely destroying his persona.-
Joker
Out-fuck? What a Killing Joke, my gun has more bang than you
-Killing Joke is the most famous Batman-Joker comic. Also he’s saying that his gun, the one that just says Bang when you fire it, has more Bang than him. Classic 1st grade jokes-
Unless you count T-Ray and Ajax, then yeah you got fucked too
-T-Ray and Ajax have both completely humiliated Deadpool on different cases. He’s saying that Deadpool out-fucks him if he counts the instances when Ajax and T-Ray fucked him up-
After I’m done with Ellie, I’ll be the Deadpool-Killer, call me Daniel Way
-Ellie is Deadpool’s daughter. He says that, by killing her, that’s the only way to “kill” Deadpool, completely destroying his will to live. Also Daniel Way is a writer that completely changed Deadpool into the “LOLZ SO RANDOM IM SO FUNNY” Deadpool that I hate-
With a Death in The Family, you’ll wish you didn’t let the Joker play
-Death in the Family is a Joker Comic in which the Joker attempts to kill Batman’s family. For the “you’ll wish you didn’t let the Joker play” i’ll let wiki explain it: The Joker was one of extremely few villains not drafted into Alexander Luthor's Secret Society of Super-Villains during the Infinite Crisis. Unlike many of the other villains, like Catman, the Joker actually wanted to be a member of the Society, but the higher level members wouldn't let him join, which enraged him. While slaughtering a branch of the Royal Flush Gang on his warpath, the Joker was actually laughed at by the King who said "Don't you get it? The Joker's too Wild!" He then electrocuted him with his joy buzzer, before walking away and saying to himself, "That's not funny". Later, after the Society had been defeated, while Alex Luthor was planning what to do next, he was ambushed by the real Lex Luthor and the Joker. Before allowing his brutal murder, Lex simply told his counterpart "You should've let the Joker play.-
Here's my review of BKR's Great Debate.
Spoiler:Donald Trump:
Let’s start off this debate with the GOP winner.
Really basic opener.
Cook up a canine up like it’s a Asian takeout dinner.
Kind of funny when it's Donald Trump saying it.
I’ll wage war against the immigrants if you vote me the president.
Don’t listen to this angry teen! He’s just in his adolescence.
These aren't really boasts or disses.
Now, Victor, I hate you more than I hate ObamaCare.
I never really liked these "I hate you as much as" or "I hate you more than" lines since they aren't really disses. They're just saying "I don't like you", which is kind of a given in a rap battle.
I’ll build a wall around this druggie and make him climb into despair.
Decent reference.
You made billions off of fake shit? I’ll lev ‘em like a ski lift.
Also an OK reference.
You think you’re so equipped, but you get your supplies from the thrift!
Fact statey.
Now let’s take a look in the Nazi elephant in the room.
I don't really get it. Why is he an elephant in the room?
You made a small loan of a million Jews cry to their doom?
Could've been a funny joke here, but Hitler killed a lot more than a million Jews.
HA! I’ll do the same with the Mexicans and the Muslims.
Not a dis or boast.
Reap what you sow, Bill, your chances of victory are grim.
Is this a reference? I can't really tell
You caused Weirdmageddon? I’ll cause World War III!
Funny.
How can you beat me if you got into Ford’s mind ILLEGALLY?
Could've been a clever joke with illegal immigrants here, but this one is worded awkwardly. Why would breaking the law make it harder for someone to beat you?
So shut it, Illuminati wannabe! I’ve had enough with this beef!
Kind of an obvious joke.
Be like my supporters and HAIL TO THE CHIEF!
OK.
Well, I’ve already won just like I won Virginia.
Kind of random. Trump's won a lot of states.
Growing exponentially? Well, this’ll show ya!
Filler.
A rapist? Well, I guess you’re Juan step closer to defeat!
Funny.
Well, you got killed off by a group of teens!
Fact statey.
Okay, Walt! It’s time for me to lay down the law!
Filler.
Overall: 13.5/20
Adolf Hitler:
DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I am ADOLF HITLER!
Pointless.
Your Mexican guilt by association will blow you right out of the picture!
Not really an insult.
You’re gonna build a Great Wall like Emperor Qin did to China?
This line also doesn't really have a point. It's a reference but it doesn't really do anything with the reference.
Do your worst! I’ll just spear ya like your opponents in your flabby mangina.
This wording is just confusing.
I’m Ted Cruzing to victory, while you’re stuck in the Sanders!
I like these puns.
I run Germany with an iron fist, so you’re guaranteed to get severed!
A reference without a joke.
I’ll get Mussolini and Hirohito to Axis around my in my defense!
Not too much of a pun.
Just comparing me to another person is a federal offense!
There's a potential for a joke here, but it isn't a federal offense
Now, Maxwell, you claim to have slaves working hard time for ya?
Driving all fancy with your cufflinks and your Toontown Porsche?
These lines are rather pointless.
HA! You’re just a nerd illegally stealing Jesse Schell’s material!
Fact statey.
A nasty JEW nonetheless, so this Crystal Rap will be your burial!
No jokes about these references.
You want US to get back to WORK? Kid, I own this rap industry.
Pretty filler.
From Hugo Boss to IKEA, I’ll make your life a living misery.
Not much of a joke.
Robo-Hell? Yeah, is it led by that Futurama Devil too?
Not an insult.
How could this Kike be proud of himself if his eyes are baby blue?
Isn't Hitler supposed to like people with blue eyes?
Yeah, YouTube B-List Toontowner, Joey19982!
Reference without a joke.
Someone call the pound! I’m beating this bitch like beastiality!
Decent, could kind of be used against any animalistic character though.
Small fry? You’re short of a Happy Meal!
Funny.
Look into Der Führer’s Face as you realize your mistakes!
Barely a reference.
Overall: 12/20
Sir Max:
Sir Max is coming in being the defendant to my company!
I guess this is kind of a clever reference.
Owner of the Toontown Central, will put you in massive monopolies!
Same as last line.
Comparing me to a Jew? You’re more scummy than my users.
Why is Sir Max suddenly anti-Semitic?
Mind-control ya with my hyper graphics so that you’ll Anne Frankly be the loser!
I've heard this pun overused a lot.
Your obsession with the Alps will only send ya far away!
Doesn't really make sense.
Only got one ball, and you’re struck out, so to say!
Kind of too similar to Babe Ruth's line, but still decent.
The rest of you better run away and hide from my power!
Filler.
Or else you’ll end up like the Jews: Gassed in death showers!
Really obvious line.
I don’t even need to dis knowing that I run this whole show.
You’re all just faux hosts trying to win, but you’re too slow!
Filler.
There’s still nobody near me! I’m at the top of the Fearamid!
OK pun.
Tell that nacho bitch to go right back down to the dollar pyramid!
Rhyming "fearamid" with "pyramid" is pretty uncreative.
Hop onto my train, boys, but don’t pull the gas lever!
Make a deal with me and you’re in my possession forever!
Not really any sort of subtle joke.
You’ll be safe under my hands! NOT! I’ll bury you alive!
It’s safe to say that these four clowns won’t survive on MY company time!
OK reference.
Now please, let’s not hunt for heads, that’s my job to do!
There's probably a reference here I don't get.
Shut up! We won’t be seeing you real soon!
Filler.
Yeah? Makes sense since your arch enemy’s Cave Johnson!
Funny, but not exactly an insult.
Overall: 12.25/20
Victor Krane:
Oh shut it, you big-mouthed freak from Maryland!
Generic insult.
Fight against this crane, and you’re in for some pummeling.
Filler.
The only Donald I care for is that Hal Sparks fellow!
Funny.
Mess with me and I’ll eradicate this flabby marshmallow.
Generic insult.
Max tried to convince the Sellbots that you were their boss.
HA! I’ve got a wallet thicker than that fucker Luke Ross!
Funny.
Grab all your codeworks, and grab your accessories,
losing to this villain is only a mandatory necessity!
Probably a reference I'm missing.
Now the cipher’s gonna get cracked like I’m Vailskibum94.
Good reference.
Sweep a yellow nacho’s ass all over my mansion floor.
Could've been a better nacho joke but this is funny.
You’re a Flatland destroyer, while I’m a Bionic Excavator!
No real insults or boasts.
Try to make gravity fall but you’ll be dropping like an elevator!
Pretty good.
You’ll be Hector-gone before you even spit your first verse.
Good.
You’re a big Time Baby, I’ll leave your ass in a Headhunters hearse!
Funny references.
Gee, it’s not a laugh when I recharge my powers.
Barely a reference.
I’m the villain of the millennium, you’re all just phantoms of the hour!
Not sure if "phantoms of the hour" is referencing something I don't get
You got beat by a Russian Mario!
The joke was pretty much already done by ERB.
I won’t naturally capitulate to a large-ass small fry!
"large ass small fry"?
S-1! Get me my nukes so I can beat this crazy man!
Not really a joke.
Overall: 16/20
Bill Cipher:
Greetings, weaklings, I must inform you won’t survive.
Filler.
What’s a Graham Cracker got against the Triangle Demon Guy?
Not really a boast or insult.
You better Dr. Gao away before the weirdness starts to kick in.
Decent pun.
Take down your entire colony while your life starts diminishing!
Not much of a joke.
Manic, power-hungry, two words to describe me.
Not even the Gravity Falls natives could prophecise to survive me!
Too fact statey.
Things are getting a little weird, things geddon a little tense.
I like this pun, took me a second to get.
Yes, I’m from another dimension, but I’m come to liberate your deaths!
These two statements seem unrelated.
A kid gone insane with power due to his TTR?
Please! Joe’s not even capable of driving a Goofy Speedway car.
Good reference.
Child slaves that he owns? Big as a lie of him being a sir!
OK references.
Go back to your AMV’s, Ziolkowski, ‘cuz I just left you Fire Burnt!
Funny.
Now, let’s focus in on the Donald, thinking that he’s got the nominee?
Just face it, even Kasich could do better than what you claim to be!
Could've been a better Kasich joke.
And I’ll Goebbels up any fool who tries to mess with my oppression!
Kind of dumb, but funny-dumb.
Leave you under maximum depression, because Fantasy Court is in session!
Good.
You claim you hate all the immigrants, but they’re all working for you!
Fact statey.
Score: 15.75/20
Walt Disney:
Alright, listen up you corrupt business freaks!
I make more money in a second that you five make in a week!
Generic.
The founder of Mickey Mouse, the founder of a real empire!
Fact statey.
Beating the front-runner! Gonna show him what it’s like to be fired!
Decent.
Your hair’s even faker than me treating my employees well.
Little self-dissy.
I will throw your fancy ass tower down to my Chernabog hell!
I’ll condemn you like Frollo and impale you like Bambi’s hunter!
Nice references in these two lines.
When you’re up against a merchandise god, you know you’re going under!
Not really a joke.
In my pocket, I own Spiderman, Darth Vader, Kermit,
ESPN, Gabe Duncan, and the world that I reside in!
Fact statey.
Not to mention I own Krane and Bill Cipher too.
Kind of clever, didn't think about that until now.
So don’t go all weird on me, I’LL JUST GO WEIRD ON YOU!
This line is just weird.
I’m looking for a new spot, you can all be my Imagineers!
Could've been a better joke about this.
Going up like a Space Mountain since I started to come here!
Pretty good Space Mountain reference.
You’re all PEASANTS when compared to me! That goes for you too, Max!
Generic insult.
Keep rewriting your shit series, I’ll just purchase my rights back!
Not really a reference.
I’m in no mood for an interview! This isn’t no Siriusxm Town Hall!
Decent reference.
I’ll just rally my supporters to make yours look like a fruitcake!
Barely a reference.
What was that again? You tried to get the power to overthrow “The Man?”
Feels like a set up for a joke that doesn't come.
You got destroyed by an old man! I CAN’T BE DESTROYED, I’M ALWAYS ON THE SCENE!
Fact statey.
Overall: 15/20
Overall Battle: There are certainly more than a handful of lines I really like in this battle. Most of the references just don't hit comedic bullseyes, or even really attempt jokes. Plus, a lot of the references are pretty obvious jokes that could've been more creative with the reference. Still, this was decent, and pretty fun to read. 14/20
Donald Trump's Worst Line: Now let’s take a look in the Nazi elephant in the room.
Very odd.
Donald Trump's Best Line: I’ll build a wall around this druggie and make him climb into despair.
A little obvious, but still the best use of any reference. Honorable mentions are Asian cookout and Juan step.
Adolf Hitler's Worst Line: DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I am ADOLF HITLER!
Could've gotten more clever with this.
Adolf Hitler's Best Line: I’m Ted Cruzing to victory, while you’re stuck in the Sanders!
Pretty good puns, and even some slight double meanings.
Sir Max's Worst Line: The rest of you better run away and hide from my power!
This line just doesn't need to be here.
Sir Max's Best Line: Sir Max is coming in being the defendant to my company!
Decent double meaning.
Victor Krane's Worst Line: Oh shut it, you big-mouthed freak from Maryland!
Could've gotten more creative with this.
Victor Krane's Best Line: Now the cipher’s gonna get cracked like I’m Vailskibum94.
Clever, specific reference. Honorable mentions are Big Time Baby, Hector-gone, and gravity fall.
Bill Cipher's Worst Line: Greetings, weaklings, I must inform you won’t survive.
Too generic, doesn't need to be here.
Bill Cipher's Best Line: Please! Joe’s not even capable of driving a Goofy Speedway car.
Maybe the funniest line in the battle. Honorable mentions are geddon, Fire Burnt, and maybe Goebbels.
Walt Disney's Worst Line: Alright, listen up you corrupt business freaks!
They're not all business freaks, so it doesn't really work, and it's also not really a reference.
Walt Disney's Best Line: I’ll condemn you like Frollo and impale you like Bambi’s hunter!
I like the references. Honorable mentions are Space Mountain and Chernabog hell.
Winner: Victor Krane (16/20) over Bill Cipher (15.75/20), Walt Disney (15/20), Donald Trump (13.5/20), Sir Max (12.25/20), and Adolf Hitler (12/20)
Total Score: 98.5/140
Here's my quickie review of Suit of Space Episode 4.
Spoiler:-Good much needed exposition at the beginning of this chapter.
-The "something controlling my thoughts" thing comes kind of out of nowhere and isn't really explained very much. I'd like to hear what's going through Amy's mind as something is controlling her.
-Better balance of the action than in the last chapter, where so much happened so quickly.
-The dialogue is a little too monologuey. It should be more broken up into smaller one-by-one exchanged sentences.
Here's my quickie review of Mooncat's MLK vs. Gandhi review (since I don't know how I'd do a full length review).
Spoiler:-These huge blocks of text are a little hard on the eyes. Try to break them up into paragraphs to make them easier to read.
-Good analysis of the beat, even though I personally like the beat.
-Nice catch with Gandhi's costume being too clean, didn't think of that when I reviewed it.
-I think I found "Slumdog Skillionaire" more clever than you did, but I agree that firts name Messiah is kinda meh.
-Gandhi's last line in verse 1 is a reference to the negro spiritual "We Shall Overcome". I like to have a tab open of Genius.com and ERB Wiki's Rap Meanings while I write reviews to make sure I don't miss stuff like that.
-"Thank God almighty" is a reference to the end of MLK's "I Have a Dream Speech"
-Totally agree with the point about the complimentary line coming before the shower line.
-I found the "boycott and sit in" line really clever wordplay but eh to each their own
Now review your review of Mooncat's review plsQuote:

Spoiler:Walt Disney:
Round 1:
Nice whiskers, dork! You look like you took one too many tranquilizers!
Kind of a decent reference.
Monopolizing the business industry; own it all! I couldn’t be anymore wiser!
Not really a joke.
Started an empire from scratch, made millions off of others.
I’ll work ya ‘till your brain falls out! Work you down ‘till your muscles are butter!
No real refernces as far as I know.
You think you can stop me? Please! I turn hundreds into skeletons everyday!

Ruling with a suit made of iron, you’ve got a blue vest and a pie!
Funny reference, if a bit fact statey
So take a look at my dark side, son, it’s clear that you won’t survive!
ERB already came up with this joke in their BTS. I don't know if you actually came up with it separately on your own though
Verse Overview: Lacking in jokes, maybe like a 6 or 6.5
Round 2:
Oh, you think YOU have tlhe AUDACITY to Trump me?
I guess this is a reference to the last battle you made, but it's not a super clever one.
You’ll meet the same fate as Iwerks, LEFT FOR DEAD ON THE STREET!
Decent reference.
I make trillions off my investments while you’re stuck in a tenement!
Cool comparison.
So gather round, useless fool, FOR A TASTE OF YOUR OWN MEDICINE!
Is this a Mary Poppins reference? If so it's pretty decent.
Verse Overview: Pretty good references, bordering between 8 and 9.
Round 3:
Overflow the Disney Vault? You just stole Jesse Schell's material!
Fact statey.
You're as soft as those cream pie slices you throw! Compared to me, I'm like durasteel!
Good references.
Am I toon enough? I'm bold and rough! Leave you on the streets, laying flat and dead!
Generic.
You're no good to me, Maxwell! I'll deep freeze your ass just like my head!
Could've been a better frozen head joke.
Verse Overview: One good line, around a 7.
Overall: 15.5/20
Sir Max:
Round 1:
YOU’RE not the big dog here, THE TITLE BELONGS TO ME!
Kinda clever.
Work you until you die in starvation and STRINGS OF HOPELESS MISERY!
No references as far as I know.
Started off small, but grew to be THE POWER OF THE WORLD!
Sir Max isn't really the power of the world
Breaking this mysogenic mess, since he ACTS LIKE A GIRL!
Kinda hypocritical
I bossed around thousands, BUT YET I’M STILL PRAISED!
No reference
Make you feel Jesse Hell for the DAMAGE YOU’VE PAVED
Nice pun.!
Shutting down MY game is the thing you’ll ALWAYS regret!
Weird wording.
Call me your conditions in China, ’CUZ I’M SHOPPING YOU TO A SWEAT!
"Shopping" someone? What does that mean?
Verse Overview: Like 2 decent lines, maybe 7.25ish.
Round 2:
I’LL DEVOUR YOUR CHANCES HERE LIKE I DID MILLIONS OF WORKERS!
He devoured workers?
You’re no less than my ignorant fans, Joe! Your ass will get kicked like JJKoletar!
OK reference.
You think you can stop me! DO YOUR WORST! I’ll just boil you alive!
No reference as far as I know.
SO DO WHAT YOU DO BEST AND SWEAT KIDS UNTIL THEY DIE!
Not super clever.
Verse Overview: One OK line. 6.5-7.
Round 3:
Oh my god! Am I that evil? (Evil Sir Max: WHY YES YOU ARE!)
No reference.
I’m honestly surprised a little steamboat could bring you that far!
Not really an insult.
So in order to beat the puppet and his master, we’re gonna get at his game.
Beat this representation of a company ruined by all these shitty brand names!
(fast) I’m making the world proud, taking you down!
Washing away your little company crown!
No jokes.
Beat you and your slaves like a whipped out master!
Not really a reference to either of these two
Every rhyme you spit, I spew out faster!
No reference
Put a cryogenic head inside a deep freezer.
Could've been a more creative joke about this
Wouldn’t step on your property with cartoony tweezers!
Stepping on property with tweezers?
You illegally put people to work, and what’s the result?
Your shit shows overflow the Disney Vault!
Not really an insult aside from calling the shows "shit".
Verse Overview: None of these lines really mix reference and joke well enough. 3 or 4.
Overall: 11.5/20
Overall Battle: A little lacking in references, and the references there are don't always pack much of a comedic punch. There are some lines I like, try to make all of your lines like those in the future. 6.75/10
Walt Disney's Worst Line: Started an empire from scratch, made millions off of others.
Not really a reference, and sort of self-dissy.
Walt Disney's Best Line: You’ll meet the same fate as Iwerks, LEFT FOR DEAD ON THE STREET!
Pretty good and funny use of this reference. Honorable mentions are tenement and medicine.
Sir Max's Worst Line: Started off small, but grew to be THE POWER OF THE WORLD!
There's no reference in this line, and it doesn't feel true at all.
Sir Max's Best Line: YOU’RE not the big dog here, THE TITLE BELONGS TO ME!
Fun pun, honorable mention is Jesse Hell.
Winner: Walt Disney (15.5/20) over Sir Max (11.5/20)
Total Score: 33.75/50

Actually, Walt was a "secret informer for the Los Angeles office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation", and he was quite close with J. Edgar Hoover, who was one of the founders of the CIA.Quote:

No he doesn't
So, basically, he doesn't really OWN the CIA, but he has some pretty good ties with them.

Also, about the "shopping to a sweat" line, it was just a play on words with the infamous labor conditions of Walt Disney's sweatshops.
Kind of a stretch, but OK, I get it now.Quote:

Sorry for delay, been super sick. Here's my Bond vs. Powers review.
Spoiler:Beat:
Relevance-Craig's beat sounds serious and Bondy, Powers' beat is definitely Powers, Connery's beat is very Connery and Bondy. 2.5/2.5
Catchiness-The only one with a real tune is the Powers one, but MAN is that beat catchy. 2/2.5
Intensity-Both Bonds have very intense beats, and even Powers' beat, while goofy, is still exciting and high energy. 2.5/2.5
Variety-I love the way they alternate between the beats. 2.5/2.5
Overall: I don't know if any one of these beats on its own would get a great score, but together they give this battle a lot of personality. 9.5/10
Costumes:
Daniel Craig/Bond-Ben Atha is about as close as you can get to Daniel Craig. He's not perfect but he very well might be the best person in the world aside from Craig himself. 1.5/1.5
Austin Powers-Mike Myers has a very odd head shape that Peter doesn't really have, but he's pretty close overall. 1/1.5
Sean Connery/Bond-Lloyd has a pretty striking facial resemblance to Connery, in my opinion. 1.5/1.5
Extras-The only one in the band who looks really wrong is Manny. But it kinda adds to the charm of Powers' verse anyway. .25/.5
Impressions:
Daniel Craig/Bond-He's British, and the pitch isn't too off. Full Points
Austin Powers-Peter also has the right pitch and accent. He breaks accent a few times, but it's not too noticeable. -.25 Points
Sean Connery/Bond-I can't really decide how I feel about him. It sounds more like someone trying to do an impression of Sean Connery than it does Sean Connery, but I don't really know how else you'd approach this kind of thing. -.5 Points
Daniel Craig/Bond:
Round 1:
I've beefed with Le Chiffre and No and Blofeld with the cheek scar,
But they were not as crooked and rotten as your teeth are!
Crooked would've been good enough, adding the rotten just enhances the line.
I'll go balls to the Walther on this wack twat in an ascot!
Blast shots atcha like gas from the back slot of a fat Scot!
I don't really know if I'd like either of these lines on their own without the flow, but the way the flow is written for both of them is clever enough, and they're certainly not BAD lines, so I give full points for both of these lines.
Permission from the Crown to put a scoundrel down? I've earned it!
Not amazing, but certainly not bad either. It is a reference, I guess they just could've done a little more with the reference.
I'm licensed to kill; you couldn't get a learner's permit!
Funny, and a nice kind of subtle reference too.
After twenty-four films, I'm still reaching new heights!
Fact statey, but I guess it works OK as a set up for the next line.
Your third movie died; guess You Only Live Twice!
Good reference.
Spell my name! The ladies wanna B on D!
Clever.
Any sex appeal you might have is beyond me!
Generic insult.
I'm bespoke from my head to my toe, and after this flow, I'm done!
Not really a joke.
I only need one round: Golden gun!
Good.
Verse Overview: Lots of strong references. I'd probably give it like a 9.5 or 9.25.
Round 2:
(Ugh!) I can't believe I'm wasting my time with this clown!
I should be on an island with a fucking model by now!
Sipping dry martinis and peeling off bikinis,
No jokes in these 3 lines.
Not rapping against Swedish penis-pumping weenies! (Yeah, that's not mine)
Good flow, and works as a joke thanks to Powers' input.
I didn't say I was finished! I'm sick of your silly gimmicks!
Kinda filler.
I'm the best spy in the business; just ask all the critics!
Basic boast
And I've been through hell, so yeah, I'm a bit of a cynic,
But I'm the original model that your frilly ass mimics!
Basic set up for Connery's entrance.
Verse Overview: Not very well written. 6-6.5 range.
Back And Forth:
It's the movie business, and you've had your six!
Very clever pun.
The world has had quite enough rug-wearing misogynists!
This line is actually kind of deep in references.
Or maybe they should cast a Bond who's actually English!
Pretty obvious.
As a matter of fact, I've got a knack for licking old cunts!
Funny, kind of self-dissy but it still gets a laugh.
After I beat you, I'll kick the shit out of the man who does your stunts!
Maybe could've been a better stuntman joke, but it's funny.
Overall: 17.25/20
Austin Powers:
Round 1:
You look a lot more blond in your movie, baby.
I don't really get this line. The most sensible way I can interpret it is a 4th wall break about how Ben Atha isn't blonde, which doesn't really work for me because Craig Bond doesn't look super blonde to me anyway.
That's alright. Let's just keep it groovy, baby!
Could've been a better reference to this catch phrase. Still, this line does make me very happy when he says "YEAH"
(Yeah!) Basil Exposition told me this would be boring,
But Jesus, man, even my mojo's snoring!
Funny reference.
I've never seen such a miserable spy!
I've also never seen a man with glistening thighs!
I don't know if this would work on its own, but with the set up and visual gag it's really funny.
I mean, you can't shag properly with that waxed tush!
so stupid but i love it
Birds flock to the musk of my chest bush!
^
(Yeah!) I'll hypnotize you with a little striptease,
And then judo chop; I'm swinging on you like the sixties!
^ yeah i think "so stupid but i love it" could apply to all of these lines
(Yeah!) You're defenseless; my rhymes can't be deflected!
Nice subtle reference to a Bond gadget, according to Genius.
You're like all the sex I've ever had: unprotected!
I laughed way more than I had any right to at this line
(Yeah!) People want a hero with a little personality!
No one wants to sit through your gritty reality!
Eh, not that clever. Kind of funny
Maybe Q can craft some new plot lines!
Funny.
You made Thunderball two bloody times!
Little fact statey.
I'm one of a kind; you're always getting remade!
Decent comparison line, not extremely clever though.
You can't touch me; double oh, behave!
Good finisher.
Verse Overview: Some clever lines, lots of hilarious lines, probably my favorite verse in the battle, probably a 9.75.
Back and Forth:
(Yeah, um…) Could I get back in my rap, please?
Useless storyteller.
Yeah, to be honest, you are a bit rapey.
The wording of this makes it a funny set up line.
I mean, I like to swing, but Dr. No means no, baby.
lolololololololol
Overall: 18.5/20
Sean Connery/Bond:
I wouldn't exactly call you original…
Pretty cool when it goes with Craig's last line.
It's the most prominent dominant bomb spy, so pay homage!
No real references.
Handing out ass-whippings, I'm on some real James Bondage!
Nice pun.
Your performance doesn't stir me, and I'm certainly not shaken!
Probably one of the best jokes you could've made about this reference.
If I wanted shitty acting in my action film, I'd go and watch Taken!
Kind of a fun reference, but not super clever.
I see your modern gadgets, and I piss on them all!
I guess this works OK with the visual gag, but there could've been a much better joke about this probably.
I don't need a Q to break your balls!
Niceeee
I'm the granddad of the brand millions of fans have been sold on!
No joke
You're so far up on my nuts I should call you Bond. Gold Bond.
epic
Verse Overview: A few fillerish lines, but still plenty of strong ones. I'd probably go for a 9.25.
Back and Forth:
*slap* Rap these, you velvety hack! (Jeez)
No reference aside from the velvet
Oh please, I'm an extraordinary gentleman! I'm distinguished!
Nice reference.
If they made a Mini-Me, they'd have to cast Peter Dinklage!
Pretty badass.
*slap* Why, pussy, aren't you the cunning linguist?
Nice reference.
Now, you listen here, you little duck-faced runt!
Generic insult. Kinda funny but not hysterical or anything.
I'm all in! I'm ready to die any day that you want!
Clever reference, I don't really see how it's an insult or a boast or a threat or anything. It just seems kind of pointless.
Overall: 18.75/20
Ungraded Stuff:
Idea-Peter used to oppose this because Powers was a direct parody of Bond and so the match-up was uncreative. I guess I agree with that, but adding Connery made this a very clever premise. Plus, I guess Powers isn't TOO direct a parody of Bond. Their personalities are certainly nothing alike, ESPECIALLY with Craig, which makes for a really funny atmosphere. I always love battles where the characters have totally opposite personalities, and this one really had fun with that.
Presentation-I love it. I don't know if it's the beat or the stupid funny lines or what about Powers' verse, but Powers' verse is one of my all time favorite ERB moments. It still makes me smile watching it. Craig Bond's background is also great.
Overall Battle: This one's a winner. So much to love, so much enjoyment, so many great subtle references to both the Bond and Powers franchise. I guess there are enough minor weak spots to keep this from being the best ever or anything, but it's a classic for sure, and barely edges out Ramsay vs. Child for me as the best this season so far. 9/10
Daniel Craig/Bond's Worst Line: (Ugh!) I can't believe I'm wasting my time with this clown!
Super generic.
Daniel Craig/Bond's Best Line: I'm licensed to kill; you couldn't get a learner's permit!
I find this the best use of references in the battle. Honorable mentions are teeth line, You Only Live Twice line, B on D, and Golden Gun.
Austin Powers' Worst Line: Yeah, um… Could I get back in my rap, please?
I guess by default this line required the least amount of thought to write. It still is funny though, I don't think there's a single completely humorless line from Powers.
Austin Powers' Best Line: I mean I like to swing, but Dr. No means no, baby.
Not only is it a clever and hilarious reference, but it's MORALISTIC TOOO honorable mentions go to snoring mojo, waxed tush, chest bush, strip tease, unprotected, double oh behave, I like a lot of his lines a lot
Sean Connery/Bond's Worst Line: Rap these, you velvety hack! (Jeez)
Couldn't they just do something clever with this?
Sean Connery/Bond's Best Line: You're so far up on my nuts I should call you Bond. Gold Bond.
I especially like how this line kind of hammers home the main point of Connery's verse. Honorable mentions are James Bondage, stirred not shaken, and break balls.
Winner: Sean Connery/Bond (18.75/20) over Austin Powers (18.5/20) and Daniel Craig/Bond (17.25/20)
Total Score: 81.5/90 (equivalent to 63.39/70)
Great review my friend
Here's my review of Erwin Rommel vs. Big Boss by FoolMeNever.
Spoiler:Erwin Rommel:
Round 1:
März nach vorn! To fight the one whose lyrics are more tragic than his debut!
Calling lyrics "tragic" is kind of an odd insult to me.
Your mission was assasination; there's nothing virtuous about you!
Good reference.
I'll sink you hard like a panzer; leave you drowning in my flow!
Nice double reference.
And with disses so nuclear they'll call where you're standing Ground Zero!
I almost want to say it's not too specific a reference to either of these two, but the Ground Zeroes reference saves it.
As my prey, men like you fall before me. It's just the rules of nature.
Flow is a little weird in my head, but good line.
Though I wouldn't call you a snake; more like a hamster.
Could've been a funniest poisonous zanzibar hamster joke maybe.
You're not like Patton; you're more comparable to Oswalt!
Funny.
When I'm through, you'll experience phantom pain near your genitals.
Awesome.
Verse Overview: Only one or two average lines. I'd give it a 9.5.
Round 2:
Please, the only thing "big" about you is your talk.
Too simple an insult.
I'm sieging this snake; crippling you harder than your boss!
Kind of doesn't work when it wasn't BB who got crippled, and it also doesn't really rhyme.
Your ideas are incomplete; your genes birth fools!
Could've been better jokes about both of these references.
I'm about to put down this old dog; and this time you won't be saved by an ass pull!
Nice and personal.
Verse Overview: Two great lines out of four is about a 9 for me.
Overall: 18.75/20
Big Boss:
Round 1:
So Hitler's lapdog wants to argue about morality?
Pretty awesome comeback. Not too clever, but blunt enough that it packs a real punch.
'cause from where I'm standing, I'm dealing with an enfant terribles!
Could've maybe gotten more clever with this reference.
With this venom I'm spitting it's like verbal cyanide.
Good, maybe a little obvious.
I'm on fire, just call my lyrics FOXDIE!
Good reference mixing.
Kid, you should know by now you can't step to me or my homeland.
Nice connection you drew between the two rappers.
You need to call Paramedic to save your ass you're getting burned so bad!
A little obvious but it works pretty well.
This dog is unbreakable; while you got sold out faster than Kojima!
Nice.
Looking for an equal? Someone that incompetent must keep you waiting, huh?
Clever.
Verse Overview: Not every good line is a GREAT line, but there are very few average lines. I'd give it a 9.5.
Round 2:
I'm missing an eye, yet you're the one who can nazi the obvious.
Good twist on the obvious Nazi pun.
That your Hayter propaganda can't work against a rap boss!
I like the hater pun, but the rest of the line doesn't really pack much of a punch.
I see you experiencing Pain, Fear, and Fury from the lines I'm spittin'!
Somewhat obvious but not super obvious. Still pretty good.
But I'm not going to make Peace, so unless you want your End, best keep on walkin'.
Good references.
Verse Overview: Every line is good, not every line is GREAT so I don't want to say this verse is a 10, but it's probably a 9.75.
Overall: 19.25/20
Overall Battle: Very, very, very strong. Lots of great references, good sense of comedy, there really aren't any glaring flaws, just a couple of somewhat lackluster lines here and there. Still less than almost any battle I've ever read on here. 9.5/10
Erwin Rommel's Worst Line: Please, the only thing "big" about you is your talk.
Not a bad line, just seems pretty simple and could be used against a lot of people.
Erwin Rommel's Best Line: When I'm through, you'll experience phantom pain near your genitals.
Funny, scary, good reference. Honorable mention is ass pull.
Big Boss' Worst Line: 'cause from where I'm standing, I'm dealing with an enfant terribles!
Really feel like I'm stretching with this one, but I just didn't find this one super clever.
Big Boss' Best Line: Looking for an equal? Someone that incompetent must keep you waiting, huh?
Strong finisher. Honorable mentions are the last line of the battle, Hitler's lapdog, foxide.
Winner: Big Boss (19.25/20) over Erwin Rommel (18.75/20)
Total Score: 47.5/50
Are you going to review my Terrifying Threequel?
LINK: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...4aAf7_vZ8/edit
You should review the new Log vs Polar REWF please :D
So I'm splitting my review of BKR's Terrifying Threequel into parts because it's very long and taking a while to review and I want other people to get their stuff reviewed in a timely fashion. Here's part one of my review, later parts will come later.
Spoiler:Modern Family:
Round 1:
Back from the dead, come to haunt BKR3!
Not really a reference.
Remind him of the sorrows that cost him his community!
Not a joke.
Constant episode marathons of Liv and Maddie and Jessie!
You were stuck watching them while eating dinner back in 2014!
Too fact statey.
Hitting you hard like the flashbacks I’m inserting to your head!
Kind of a pun I guess. Not terrible.
I’m everywhere! From the fridge, or to the pantry to get some bread!
Funny.
You’re nothing but a drama queen on the forum, not a creator!
If anything, you don’t even deserve to be the moderator!
Pretty generic insults.
Verse Overview: Lots of fact stating, one or two decent lines. 6.75 to 7.
Round 2:
Compare my greatness to shit? Well, you’ve stepped into the wrong court?
Good set up.
I’m a pro at gaining lots of fans, you’re just a Pro on Wii Sports!
Funny.
Well, not really a pro, more like at the 935 range!
KInd of redundant.
You’re barely at the top, and you haven’t made a bit of change!
Too fillery.
Now, you say you think Creepypasta fans are cancerous?
For fuck’s sake, take a good look at your Google+ preferences!
On the left side it’s Eyeless Jack, and on the other side it’s Freddy!
Could’ve been better jokes about these references.
To top it off, you didn’t last one night, while I reign forever supreme!
Decent comparison line.
Verse Overview: Definitely a step up. I’d give it an 8 to an 8.25.
Overall: 15.25/20
Bigkidrant3:
Round 1:
I received my moderation with trust, something you should try!
Not really a reference.
You just haunt people for a living and expect to be the good guy.
Not a joke.
I’ll leave you more entangled than your family tree!
Good.
I’ll Swindle the left side of the branch, and then sell it like realty!
I think I get this reference, but this is still a confusing threat.
Yes, you happened once back in the day, and you’ve been persistent ever since,
Too fact statey.
to make my life as miserable as one ghost could possibly make it!
Also not really a joke.
I’m not a drama queen; but a critique! Here’s the criteria,
You’ve failed in shining stars, and your show’s like diarrhea!
Too generic.
Verse Overview: Only one line I really like, some lines that almost get somewhere with the references. Maybe a 6.5.
Round 2:
Alright, I admit it! I had some troubles in my past!
A little Foxy and an emo teen never stopped me from my raps!
If anything, they made me stronger! They propelled my greatest inventions!
Too fact statey and not insulting enough.
I’ve grown to be a forum star, you’re no more than a silly henchman!
Generic insult.
Dressing up in capes and robes and breaking everything you see?
Come on! We already have Bipper doing that, and that was in 2014!
Good reference.
Now it says here that you’re a force that inspires true fear?
Well fuck that! Get on your knees, bitch, ‘cuz *I AM GOD HERE!*
Don’t really know what this reference has to do with either rapper
Verse Overview: Not any super strong lines, a few half decent references. Like a 6.
Round 3:
What you’ve heard is true, I’ve put the two together!
But it didn’t stop the audience from laughing, ‘cuz I’m clever
Not really a joke.
enough to make it pass a formulaic sitcom thrown down the shitter,
with an angsty teen chasing over his goddamn babysitter!
Again, no jokes, just references and fact stating.
I’m a queer? Yeah, do you have any proof to back that?
Or will you just can it off like the stains of your laugh track?
Pretty good.
You’ve lost both the Christmas Specials, and I’m certainly not a fan,
Of Cameron Boyce and his plans to find his Mom and/or Dad!
Not a joke.
Verse Overview: One line I like a good amount. 6-6.5.
Round 4:
Tumblrfags? Now, son, I don’t think that you know,
but there’s nothing wrong with obsessing over your favorite TV show!
Not a dis or a boast.
I mean, it’s not like YOU’D have a fanbase of your own!
Yeah, you were cool once, but you need to step off the throne!
Generic insults and threats.
Your show’s already been cancelled, left in the dust, stepped and beaten!
Basic insult.
Left for everyone to poke at while you’re stuck in the fifth season!
Could’ve been a better joke about the fifth season. This is more of a mention.
You can’t slam Gabe Duncan me! We ain’t in New York Shitty! Luke, you’re looney!
Decent, puns are a little rough but I get them anyway.
I’ll deport your ass from Disneyworld, and back to Joey Rooney!
Not a bad reference.
Verse Overview: Increase in the number of references, some of them pay off. Maybe 6.5-7.
Round 5:
You’re damn right about your cancer! I couldn’t even stand one pic!
Decent comeback.
You’re just a copy-and-paste goldmine! Just take a look at Treasure Island!
Not a terrible reference.
I’ll turn this failure from an indie game Scott Cawth-off!
Don’t get this pun.
Because I hate your crappy games, and I hate them _a lot!_
Don’t get this one either. Is there a reference or are you just saying you don’t like the games?
I’m a source of entertainment, you’re the source of furry dreams!
OK, could’ve been a better furry joke.
Your power’s looking a bit low, I’d suggest you blow off some Steam!
Not bad.
I’m the creator of this damn series, you’re just another puppet!
Good one.
I’ll beat you until you’re purple, just like that serial killer Muppet!
Not bad.
Verse Overview: Definitely the best of your verses so far. 8-8.75.
Round 6:
Bring all your furry friends! I don’t care which!
I’ll just beat them one-by-one like it’s Mortal Kombat shit!
Pretty good.
The Springtraps that I prefer are the ones from Clash of Clans!
Good reference.
I’m a sensation of the forum! You’re just a voter clickbait scam!
Generic boast and insult.
Your storyline is overused, and it doesn’t make sense!
We’ve got a maniacal purple man? Oh, great! What’s next?
Could’ve been a more clever reference to the purple guy.
You’re not smart! You’re not cool! You’re just another furry fail!
Generic insults.
Just face it! I’ll rip through you like a Steam Summer Sale!
Decent.
Verse Overview: Again, getting better. Also like an 8-8.75.
Round 7:
Respawn? I’m the landlord! Mod of the forum!
I’m going to assume you’re talking about a different forum. Anyway, this is a generic boast.
Mess with my supporters, and you’ll wish you’d never born!
Generic threat.
My raps are so ill, they might just give you influenza!
Not a reference to anything as far as I know.
I’m an intellectual artist while you’re stuck with affluenza!
I’m a creator, innovator, most importantly a rap writer!
You’re a lonely little brat stuck interchanging trap cyphers!
But if you want to face me, you’ve got some challenges to face!
No real jokes in any of these lines.
I spit real fire, while you’re stuck with a Kanye mixtape!
If this is a reference, I’d definitely need some background on the characters you’re creating. Otherwise, I’m not going to get the jokes.
Verse Overview: Step down from the last verses, probably due to less material to work with, but I wasn’t really a big fan of any of these lines. So somewhere below a 5.
Round 8:
So, _I’m_ a hypocrite? After all I’ve done to you!
Not a reference
I gave your thoughts life, so if anything, I need a “thank you”!
Could’ve been more clever.
You’re acting all contentious, and you think you’re such a star!
Well, it looks I’ll have to show you _how fucking wrong you are!_
These lines are way too generic and referenceless.
The owner not only promoted me, but he encouraged what I did!
One of the first moderators, so you better watch your mouth, kid!
You bring sadness and misery, and make the whole world unruly.
Too fact statey.
But in a twist of fate, it seems that I will _bury the bully_!
Probably one of the best lines in the battle so far.
Verse Overview: One line I really like, so maybe a 6 or 6.5
Overall: 12.75/20
But you skipped mine?
BKR's was suggested first, it was just deleted. Your's is next.Quote:

Spoiler:
Deadpool:
Round 1:
BEGIN! Wait what, it already started? Fuck. Does it count as filler
Good question, Deadpool. It would if it didn’t also manage to connect itself to a pretty good threat in the next line.
If this chiller fitter hitter pulls the trigger killing clowns quicker
Than Grass Roots Trevor, except sicker. I’m Dante except my demons are inner
These references feel a little random and forced.
Hell, I’m a sinner, but I’m also a giver, I’ll hand you your ass and also the finger
Not really a joke aside from the pun at the beginning, which is decent but the “random reference” issue still persists.
I’m a Rated-R Superstar, so much Edge and that’s not counting Katanas
Good references.
I’m fucking bananas, I’m just like Santa, rewarding bad kids with hand-cannons
The Santa reference is kind of a stretch, but still pretty good.
This is a funny match-up, you’re fighting in Wayne, but no pressure, I fought lesser
Good.
If you ever feel Under the weather, Red Hood, just write it down in your Ledger
Nice puns.
Verse Overview: Lots of good puns. Probably an exact 9.
Round 2:
Listen, Infinite Midlife Crisis, calling you crazy would be an understatement!
Infinite Midlife Crisis is really funny.
I can bring entertainment pre and post-mortem, the laughs you get are belated
Didn’t really think of the Joker Gas as causing “belated laughter”, but that’s pretty funny.
Ask Turtle who’s number one, I can out-wit, out-joke and out-fuck you anyday
The self-reference is funny, the rest is kind of generic boasting.
Fighting me, you need Salvation, Run! X gon’ give it you harder than the CCA
Awesome, funny, brutal disses.
Verse Overview: Probably a 9.5, pretty close to a 10. The middle 2 lines aren’t quite strong enough for me to give it a 10 though.
Overall: 18.25/20
Joker:
Round 1:
Making suicide jokes is ironic after trying to kill yourself for one full comic
Decent reference, feels a little fact statey but it’s formatted in a pretty good way that almost gets a laugh.
With disease AND failure chronic, I guess to DP losing it is iconic
Nice dis.
You’re a plague to heroes everywhere, a modern bubonic, you’re truly idiotic
Pretty generic insults.
I’m a master of the mind and on the track, call me J. Tetch, cause my flows are hypnotic
Not bad.
I’m afraid I set the crowbar too low for people who like Robin’ identities
Really nice puns.
Call me crazy (HAHAHA) but didn’t I see you in the eighties?
Could’ve been a better Deathstroke joke.
Comedic Clown King of Rhyme killing canadian soldiers: It was ME, Granatstein!
I’ve never heard of Granatstein, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that he’s famous in Canada, in which case this joke is pretty good.
Let’s put some sideburns on that face, and some balls in that suit: Ta-da: Wolverine!
Badass. I love it.
Verse Overview: I think it’s an 8.75/10. Some of the jokes could’ve been done better, but some of them could NOT have been done better.
Round 2:
Out-fuck? What a Killing Joke, my gun has more bang than you
Nice pun.
Unless you count T-Ray and Ajax, then yeah you got fucked too
Eh, could’ve been better jokes about T-Ray and Ajax. I’ve heard this “fucked” pun a little too much in FMERBs.
After I’m DONE with Ellie, I’ll be the Deadpool-Killer, call me Daniel Way
Pretty good reference.
With a Death in The Family, you’ll WISH you didn’t let the Joker play
Not bad, feels more like a mention than a joke about the reference though.
Verse Overview: I’d say it’s a 9. No bad lines, 2 lines I like pretty good.
Overall: 18/20
Overall Battle: Great battle. Not every reference really feels like a joke, but there are tons of lines that do get a chuckle, and one or two lines that are just awesome. 9/10
Deadpool’s Worst Line: Hell, I’m a sinner, but I’m also a giver, I’ll hand you your ass and also the finger
This line is really not bad at all. I just felt like this was the most reference-free line in the battle.
Deadpool’s Best Line: Fighting me, you need Salvation, Run! X gon’ give it you harder than the CCA
Great use of references. Honorable mentions are Infinite Midlife Crisis, under the weather, and Rated-R Superstar.
Joker’s Worst Line: You’re a plague to heroes everywhere, a modern bubonic, you’re truly idiotic
Too generic.
Joker’s Best Line: Let’s put some sideburns on that face, and some balls in that suit: Ta-da: Wolverine!
Definitely the best line in the battle, really funny, insulting, and clever. Honorable mention is Robin identity.
Winner: Deadpool (18.25/20) over Joker (18/20)
Total Score: 45.25/50
