While yall are at it check out my top 10 best season 7 ERB Verses czcams.com/video/E4-8mavd-pU/video.htmlsi=z0W9c37OvmCPUvb_ Oppenheimer is not on this list because too many people fight over his first and second verse. Other verses not put here would most likely be because of the limit of only 2 verses in a good season. A bad verse in my list is meant to be bad. And goddamn, this video was released at a bad time. If only Godzilla vs King Kong was released earlier or if I delayed this video later, I would have included their verses here.
@mrsillytacos It's still season 7. So far season 7 only has 6 (Ragnar vs Richard, Mansa Musa, the Johns, Lara vs Indy, Ford vs Marx and Godzilla vs Kong)
@@JonesCrimson What? No it's good bar cause Nietzsche thinks "sick" men are those who are either driven by death (nihilists) or driven to death (scientists, christians, etc...). The Ubermensch is driven to life, he is the one who creates morals and a cultuire that serves life and is driven by it.
It's so hilarious to me how they depict the Thing 1 and Thing 2 verse as absolutely wrecking Shakespeare, like dude is absolutely flabbergasted trying to transcribe(?) what they're saying, even though he was just rapping twice as fast as them. It's a rare instance of ERB not only picking a clear winner, but being hilariously wrong in that choice.
@@halitoyt They didn't pick a winner for Trump vs Hillary, they just had Trump play the heel which in no way means they were making him lose. In no way did they lean off the bars because they decided to play him as the bad guy, if that were the case the Austrian Painter wouldn't have won the second battle in the trilogy. Besides, irl Trump said most of the stuff he said in that verse.
Honestly, I think an exaggerated Lennon impression would have made it worse. Sometimes they go overboard with the impressions at the expense of the quality of the rap. But I agree that Lennon was kinda mid, aside from one great bar: "You can't buy me love, but I'll kick your ass for free"
Uh... I'd say those worst verses in the later seasons merely clear the low bar of being better than the ones in the earlier seasons. Now, S7, that's superior. So much so, in fact, that there were no "worst" verses selected for the season.
@@SkateBake4Life There's still been some variation in quality. I don't feel that Indy vs Lara and Godzilla vs Kong have hit quite the same highs as the rest of the season. Still, I don't think they're bad.
I love Sun Tzu's line at 9:36 for the sole fact that it's a rare 4-way pun -Obviously, name's Sun Tzu -getting sunburnt (which is another sub-pun, since "getting burned" means to look foolish) -play on the phrase "Suns out, guns out" -Guns are used in war, in reference to The Art of War
It's not in this video but it reminds me of the line from Zeus vs Thor "MC Hammer got struck twice by Greece Lightning", it's calling Thor MC Hammer to mock him (and because he has a hammer), it's a play on MC Hammer's hit song "Can't Touch This", and it's a play on lightning never strikes twice in the same spot.
I was underwhelmed with a Deadpool verse: "Oooh, what's that? A missile backpack? Well I guess you'll be alright if a fucking bird attacks Presenting the most overrated character anyone ever saw With five lines in a trilogy, and one of them was AAAAH" But then again, you do need the lows to appreciate the highs that much more
It's not even _that_ bad if it were said by anybody other than "the world's greatest Detective" Batman, lol. It would work for a more boneheaded-type character imo. The delivery on "I had Alfred read your books... / He told me they suck!" will never hit make me laugh
@@Rebcap05 idk what you mean? We were both children at the time it wouldn't matter if it almost made us do something or not the man's obviously not being serious. Forehead
@@deleetiusproductions3497 I respectfully disagree. I think the Philosopher's Battle is their Magnum opus. There's not a single moment in it that fails to kick ass.
@@Drekromancer While I don't necessarily disagree, I feel like there were just so many other great battles in S4 that at least one other deserved a mention.
Not a single Zach Sherwin verse is criminal imo. He goes soo hard every time he features in a video of theirs. Alexander the Great’s verse might be my favorite verse in all of ERB. And his Walt Disney verse is definitely my pick for best of season 4, tho I respect your picks, the philosophers battle was so good.
holy shit after all these years the line "your lying which means you need a new wardrobe" from bruce vs bruce finally clicked in my damn head, its a reference to narnia the lion the witch and the wardrobe
@@eleutheromania6191 the flow on "examine this under your microscope: / you've got no neck, but you still fuckin' choked!" Is still so damn satisfying, ngl
Thanos started his episode with pretty hard bars. Oppenheimer responded, imo, with some of the hardest bars in ERB history. Thanos then responded with "Fortnite's dopest dancer". I don't think if there ever been a bigger discrepancy in quality on a single episode thus far.
That battle is so disappointing to me, because it has some of the absolute best verses, acting, and production quality with Oppy but the exact opposite in the Thanos half. I remember when it came out it just seemed like a stupid idea to begin with.
Shocked Frederick the Great's verse wasn't at least a runner up. Dude arrived with the best surprise appearance in the series since Lincoln in 2012 Elections, dropped a sick beat and 12 amazing verses, then died on his own terms before Ivan could do anything.
I like how the worst list gets less and less bad through the seasons, and I agree season 7 has just been nothing but banger after banger, even peoole I think lost the battles still spit at a high level.
While I agree that season 7 has been exclusively good verses, it would be pretty easy for me to pick out a worst, Rambo. Not bad, definitely, everything else was just better
People think Robin won only cause he comes in last but Joan absolutely destroys everyone that went before her. Coming out with "I'd have attacked you two first but your hearts beat me to it" is insane
@@ihaveyourhomeaddressyouloser It ain’t an excuse, it’s a valid reason. Only one best season 2 verse, and as a bonus a runner up season 2 verse. Doing third honors is too long.
He might actually have the best momentum of anyone they've ever pulled. His entire performance as Mansa Musa is a single, uninterrupted slam dunk that just keeps picking up steam.
@@Drekromancer it helps that he was a huge fan to start with. And the fact he has some knowledge of history along with a ton of nerd lore in his head, helped too.
Imma be real, best season two verse was Michael Jackson's first verse. The kid was vicious and his flow was incredible. "Call me Ed Sullivan, shoot you from the waste up", "even in death, i go platnum on blu-ray" destroy anything Elvis had
I'm not sure, MJ's second verse does kill it for being the single solitary time I've ever heard a reference to his vitiligo that wasn't somehow awful or bigoted, even in comedy: "Didn't lose any chocolate, I just added vanilla."
@@rocketgeek96 honestly, can't judge you on that. The Neverland ranch bar annihilated anything Elvis said. Also mad respect to them for that, MJ's vitiligo should've been way less scrutinized
@@shinobix4925 the flow just doesn't work for me, I respect what they were going for by making it sound like an Elvis song but it really isn't pleasing to the ear.
@@mostar1219the heartbeat moniter is a reference to Copperfield's trick of walking through the Great Wall. He used a heartrate moniter through the trick for suspense which flatlines right before he gets to the end of the Wall.
I'm a bit surprised neither the Easter Bunny nor Dumbledor made it to Runner Down. But yeah, Season 1 was a very mixed bag. Seeing the overall improvement is great.
@@nathaniellee5277 I don't know, both were pretty awful, I couldn't really decide between them, but the most cringeworthy line that stuck with me was the "get a taste of Dumbledor's army", which is why I propsed Dumbledor. Gandalf was more... forgettable, which in this context isn't a bad thing.
@@dergrimmigezwerg333 Gandalf's flow was so bad, meanwhile Dumbledore's flow was decent. Plus I feel like Dumbledore had better bangers. Scru Face Jean did a pretty good analysis of it
I actually died at Steve Irwins verse lmao, "You're such a boring guy, you could make a whole show about the Ocean dry" is such an Australian bar. Also, the Marx vs Ford rap battle was probably my favourite ever.
3:29 well, its debatable I guess, since this battle is criminally underrated IN TERMS OF VISUALS the fact that lloyd was hanged upside down on a crane, and also being able to get himself out of a straight jacket is a detail that shouldn't be missed on the battle in terms of bars and such, yeah, houdini flopped hard, but we can't let the visuals go unnoticed
The line before that "I accelerated the minds of mankind to a higher plane of understanding and I can calculate the weight and the size and the shape of the shadow of the mind that you're standing in" is just utterly savage
@@mosgamingchannel1754 It's a reference to V for Vendetta, a book written by Alan Moore. Not a 100% sure, but it might also be a double insulting the cone shape of the hat.
Everyone is rightly upping Philosophers as the greatest battle ever, and it's definitely like top 3, but I wanna draw special attention to Roosevelt v Churchill. That battle is S-tier, and I won't hear any arguments, its spot on Runner Up was well deserved and that whole battle could've been the runner up.
the only one I really disagree with, is the best season 5 verse. Theodore Roosevelt Verse 2 is still my all time favourite, and although Trump sounds like a Disney villain, which I love, I still think the former of the 2 is beter
I like how when I popped back to this series for the first time in years recently, I instinctively went "no" to a few of them and didn't watch them. Your "worst" category is basically a highlight reel of videos I didn't rewatch. Marx's third verse is a strong contender for the most brutal segment in the show's history, though I would say Philosophers is still the best overall and I actually don't think anything else has come close to it. Almost everything that comes from that battle is gold. Also, there was one in season 7. Something about the way Indy rapped was so noxious to me I couldn't get through his first verse.
It sucks cause it had one of my favorite lyrics: "Did you shapeshift those punchlines? Cause they mist. Your style's like your reflection: it doesn't exist!"
I always felt like with Dracula vs Vlad, they knew Dracula would basically lose and so they just said “Let’s have Dracula just have fun and be a little flamboyant”
Id have to disagree with the best verse for s6 and 7 those weren’t close to being the beat Oppenheimer verse 2 clears for s6 and I’d take Irwin too if you didn’t want to double up And anything from mansa musa was better than Marx, and you also had the three John’s with Mcclane OR wick’s first verse
One issue with this video: Sure, it may be true that there are no bad verses in s7, but 'worst' doesn't mean 'bad', just 'least good'. Something can be good and still be the worst of its set, if its set is all 'good' or better.
The worst verses are always in episode where it feels like they were trying to capitalize of a trendy subject rather than bringing an idea they’re passionate about
The "best" ones are mostly well chosen, so I respect those, and most of the "worst" ones are also reasonable, but I do have a few questions: Why you disrespecting Houdini, my fellow Hungarian boi like that? What do you have against the entirety of Adam vs Eve? For S1 runner down, why John? For S6 runner down, why Dracula?

It's genuinely crazy how Vader got obliterated that badly in the second bout and then STILL somehow came back from it so hard he won the final battle.
Vader is used to getting burned....
Easy jokes aside Vader's bar in Part 3 goes absolutely hard.
You can call it the revenge of the sith
The moralitomiter dipped so far in Hitlers favor (and, y'know, having Hitler win isn't exactly a good look) it had to swing back really hard
They realized they were making Hitler win 😂
hitler vs vader just went so hard altogether tbh
The philosophers entire episode is a top verse on the whole ERB
Same with Vader vs Hitler
Every line from it written down would be a line per page and the rest would be footnotes.
He even made an Uber driver pun.

Scru face jean 🔥🔥🔥
Theres something very wholesome about a dude who just loves reacting to their videos being invited and AND then serving such great verses.

It says a lot about how much they've improved over the years when in the later seasons even the worst verses are still pretty damn good.
Honestly watching the video and noticing the improvement is a genuine joy to me
That Dracula battle wasn't just bad, but bad in a specifically early-vibing way. I had completely forgotten it was anywhere close to Season Six.

I'm still amazed how ERB managed to make Seig Heil into a freaking top tier bar bro
3:29
well, its debatable I guess, since this battle is criminally underrated IN TERMS OF VISUALS
the fact that lloyd was hanged upside down on a crane, and also being able to get himself out of a straight jacket is a detail that shouldn't be missed on the battle
in terms of bars and such, yeah, houdini flopped hard, but we can't let the visuals go unnoticed
Ok yeah visuals were good but flow was bad
His first verse was the best in the battle. despite the odd flow he still won.
@@joshrethoudini's flow is actually fire idk why people dont like it
@@X0TIX_despite houdini having better flow, copperfield still won imo
@@X0TIX_ The flow doesn't even matter anyway in terms of winning. What matters is disses... these are rap _battles,_ after all.
The transition from boba fett to teddy roosevelt was so smooth
Great list, I will say not having Wayne Gretskys second verse is criminal. That battle is the most underrated by far imo
god i hate thing 1 and thing 2 especially after that wonderful verse from shakespeare
I think Isaac Newton rapping an equation deserves an honorable mention. Plus, it's Weird Al.
The line before that "I accelerated the minds of mankind to a higher plane of understanding and I can calculate the weight and the size and the shape of the shadow of the mind that you're standing in" is just utterly savage
I'm surprised Che Guevara wasn't on runner up, his flow was really good
I’d put him on my top 15 for Season 6
That "take your breathe away" line was dope.
Che Guevara was decent but when he said "It's more like V, for Very bad hat" Either I just don't get it. or This line just sucks.
@@mosgamingchannel1754 It's a reference to V for Vendetta, a book written by Alan Moore. Not a 100% sure, but it might also be a double insulting the cone shape of the hat.
ISTG Marx's final verse is just a whole ass touch of death combo.
The fact that people think John Lennon won is insane, Bill O'Reilly humbled him with that last verse.
Fuck it, we'll do it live!
Damn that was the one that started it all
We don't think, we know
Ray william johnson as boba fett is something i didnt know i needed
What about a flute busting prussian?
I could only put 2 Season 5 ERB Verses.
5:15 very well placed ad there
12:31 the battle ended there. lol chill Irwin. Yeah Cousteau came with the stingray references but damn. How you gon do the French like that
The thing is, the lyrics and the flow aren’t the problem in the Batman verses, it’s Peter’s entire delivery as that character.
It’s so funny for me to see Vlad the Impaler vs Dracula going from one of the most requested matchups to one of the worst battles in the whole series
Never sounded like a good idea to me tbh.
Bro they aren’t even rapping, they’re just talking
“You gettin ate up you shoulda battled me on Ramadan” is the hardest individual bar in ERB history
Everyone is rightly upping Philosophers as the greatest battle ever, and it's definitely like top 3, but I wanna draw special attention to Roosevelt v Churchill. That battle is S-tier, and I won't hear any arguments, its spot on Runner Up was well deserved and that whole battle could've been the runner up.
"Loki choke you out like my name was throut cancer" is a pretty good line, too bad it was wreaked by that awful fortnight line
"You look like a duck." Batman
It's so stupid it works. love the rap, not for it's lyrical genius but for the fact it's such a dumb match-up with quirky lines and great beat xD
I think what makes Joan's verse so good is that she spent half of it insulting Cosby.
the only one I really disagree with, is the best season 5 verse. Theodore Roosevelt Verse 2 is still my all time favourite, and although Trump sounds like a Disney villain, which I love, I still think the former of the 2 is beter
"Everyone knows you're back at home like 'Thank God for Pearl Harbor' " solos.
Dracula rhyming Dracula's Victim with vascular system is genius tbf
Dang no love for Zeus vs Thor? "Make like your daddy and swallow my babies" was perfect
I could only put 2 Season 2 ERB Verses.
İ forgot how long and terrible were the verses of that bruce.
yall forgot about moses vs santa
I still think Season 5’s best is Tolkien’s third verse
I like how when I popped back to this series for the first time in years recently, I instinctively went "no" to a few of them and didn't watch them. Your "worst" category is basically a highlight reel of videos I didn't rewatch. Marx's third verse is a strong contender for the most brutal segment in the show's history, though I would say Philosophers is still the best overall and I actually don't think anything else has come close to it. Almost everything that comes from that battle is gold.
Also, there was one in season 7. Something about the way Indy rapped was so noxious to me I couldn't get through his first verse.
boba tea bar is crazy
How did Oppenheimer's first verse not make it? That shit was pretty heat
I forgot how good that Elvis epsiode was
oh god that Vlad vs Dracula rap battle was painful for me to watch. I despise that one, at least Adam vs Eve was funny bad.
It sucks cause it had one of my favorite lyrics:
"Did you shapeshift those punchlines? Cause they mist.
Your style's like your reflection: it doesn't exist!"
@@georgegandy8116 Get beat by count dracula? Your smoking crackula
thing 1 and 2's second verse is strangely addicting on 2x speed
Nahhh dude the first verse of darth vader on vader vs hitler part 3 is the fired up line that flipped 4 times.
YEA SCRU!!!!
Its like that, its like THAT!
I always felt like with Dracula vs Vlad, they knew Dracula would basically lose and so they just said “Let’s have Dracula just have fun and be a little flamboyant”
The battle was actually ASMR themed, which is why it's slower-paced and all that.
Id have to disagree with the best verse for s6 and 7 those weren’t close to being the beat
Oppenheimer verse 2 clears for s6 and I’d take Irwin too if you didn’t want to double up
And anything from mansa musa was better than Marx, and you also had the three John’s with Mcclane OR wick’s first verse
I don’t put oppenheimer on my list because too many people fight over his verse
@@joshret really? I’ve never heard that
10:40 Boba Fett vs. Deadpool was probably my favorite rap battle in lyrics, beat, and outfits. Just a masterpiece.
That Vader “fired up” scheme still hits so crazy
One issue with this video: Sure, it may be true that there are no bad verses in s7, but 'worst' doesn't mean 'bad', just 'least good'. Something can be good and still be the worst of its set, if its set is all 'good' or better.
2:24 underrated transition lmao. Nice editing bro
"Frankly Hank it's clear Auschwitz side you were on" is the hardest bar in ERB
Bruce vs Bruce probably wouldnt be as bad if Caitlyns verse didnt last 1/2 the battle and suck beyond repair.
They gave jenner WAY too much time.
@@christophjohnson3777I know hulk doesn’t tend to talk that much but why did they give her so much time😭
@@lukaluukaa for real!
I remember ur mr incredible videos, its almost 2 years since I found ur channel
Man, Season 6 must've been fucking fire if Thanos is the worst one there.
The worst verses are always in episode where it feels like they were trying to capitalize of a trendy subject rather than bringing an idea they’re passionate about
I really think John Wick's and Alexander the Great's first verses deserved mentions.
The "best" ones are mostly well chosen, so I respect those, and most of the "worst" ones are also reasonable, but I do have a few questions:
Why you disrespecting Houdini, my fellow Hungarian boi like that?
What do you have against the entirety of Adam vs Eve?
For S1 runner down, why John?
For S6 runner down, why Dracula?
The funniest thing to me is that Trump's verse has a ton of stuff he'd never say, and yet, is put together so unbelievably well.
Actually, that was all stuff he actually said.
it's a crime not to mention cleopatra's second verse; it hit so hard they gave monroe a third verse to compensate
9:55 confucius predicted twitter
3:42 Idc, that's a good verse
