"You're on your fourth wife. Talk about the X Games."
HOLY FUCK
THAT WAS SAVAGE
TalentlessTyler You Know it
TalentlessTyler Nice
I Vote For Wayne
TalentlessTyler that was deep
TalentlessTyler yeah he won just because of that line
Usain Bolt vs forest gump
usain bolt vs the flash
RUN FOREST, RUN
braveninja111 lol
i think it would be funny if it was usain vs the flash, but then Forest shows up and kicks both their asses
braveninja111 Usain bolt vs The Flash
they could've cast the actual Tony Hawk to play himself in this and no one would've noticed
Most underrated comment of all ERB comments, because that's the world Tony lives in 😆
And he still wouldn't care
My dad actually bares a passing resemblance to Tony Hawk, and he could have pulled the schtick off just as well.
@@MegaThurstonator (X) Doubt
500th like lol
I still think about "you'll be speechless after 3 periods, like an elipsis" daily. It's been years now and that line is just too fucking good lol
Same. I come back to this one occasionally for that verse almost exclusively.
Legit my favorite line from this one
One of the GOAT lines in any ERB. So clever and well delivered.
Can someone please explain
@@IceBr8kr An ellipses is 3 periods in a row, used to indicate someone is trailing off in their speech. For example, "but I thought you said you were broken up...". So three periods indicates speech has stopped.
A period is also used in hockey - there are four of them in the game.
Gretzky is saying he's so good at hockey that after 3 periods, Hawk won't even know what to say - he'll be speechless.
Dr. House vs Dr. Strange
/ Tristan / Aww yea
/ Tristan / yes pls
/ Tristan / plz
/ Tristan / Dr. House vs Dr. Cox would be amazing
vr Dr Phill
MacGyver VS Inspector Gadget!!!!
Ive suggested this so many times!
MacGuyver vs Jack O'Neil.
David Wührer too be honest that would be cool but everyone knows that's how o Neil became leader of sg 1 was because hes macgyver.
I think they should feature the main adversary from both shows. (Murdoch and Claw)
JackDaniels ha
JackDaniels is it bad that only know about macgyver because of the line "hatching schemes like a dying macgyver" in rick grimes vs walter white.
The “Oiler alert, you’re about to get traded” line isn’t really that big of a punch, but just the way it’s delivered makes it my favorite line in the entire battle
well its a reference to the insane trade in the 90's
My favorite line by far is "hotter than your daughterrrrr" just cause of the delivery lolll
I’m from Edmonton so I like the reference to the Oilers even though it was a sad event for Edmontonians :(
I’m with crafty my fave line also 😆
Nah that line is ruthless. That trade came as a huge surprise to Gretzky, who legit cried during the press conference after it was announced.
Gretzky’s line about “this goofy-footed geek” is pure genius. In skateboarding, depending on what foot you push with, it’s referred to as goofy or regular. Tony Hawk is a goofy skater, so it’s perfect.
Also, A(n Extremely) Goofy Movie.
@@MountainMemelord Yessss
Based goofy skaters!!
@@BullDeerAryu_ goofy skaters rise up✊
@@chilllenmann6140 I'm goofy and mongo 😅. I longboard tho sooooooooooo
"184 world records between us... and I hold 183 of em" that line ended it
I want to like this so bad, but it would ruin the current number (184).
It was close enough and you know it.
Eh, that line could "end" any rap battle. He will always have 183 records. Because of that, it's just a random fact.
But clearly Gretzky has the better ryhmes here. I don"t know what happened with Hawk's material, it was almost as weak as the Easter Bunny.
Ikr if he only said that one line he still would've won because that's just too hard to come back from.
Blauze. Almost. I think that battle was the weakest. The Easter Bunny was just pathetic.
"your on your fourth, wife. Talk about the EX games" Fucking epic
which reminds me wayne wins.
Noctis Farron true
agreed, also "You like fingerflips? How bout one of these, sit on this on rotate 900 degrees" fuck man lol
An underrated part of this battle that I've only just noticed after watching this 15+ times, is that Tony says" Keep your mittens on Gretzky, you're too clean" and then in Gretzky's verse, he throws his gloves off, the action in hockey that indicates that you are ready to fight. It's also significant because, as Tony already stated, "You're too clean" meaning Gretzky isn't the type to fight. So that Gretzky actually does so in this battle shows that Tony is someone worth fighting. Small detail, but really adds to this battle.
Thanks for pointing that out. I never actually put two and two together.
thank you, i thought noone noticed that
Yes, it's pretty clever, but you need to be a Hockey fan to spot it, I think.
That's pretty clever. Yet most people probably don't realize it.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
In my opinion, this is the video that shows how ERB's videos are timeless. almost 5 years later and it still looks amazing and the quality is just as good as modern battles. Most of the rap battles dont run on trends, and it makes them a joy to watch no matter when you are watching it. Thank you, ERB
IMO that only applies from season 2 onwards. Everything since then could have been released today, but season 1 really shows its age, at least to me.
@@jukmifggugghposer I took a look at their line up from back then and...yeah, you're right. I'm glad they corrected course early on though.
@@jukmifggugghposer There's still some stuff that doesn't line up if it were to have been released today. Battles with figures who are still active will obviously not mention those figures' activities that came after the battle released. A great example of this is Trump vs Scrooge. Nobody would ever portray Donald Trump like that today.
The "And i set 183 of them" was where the entire poles shifted to opposite ends of the battle.
That lone gave it to gretzky for me
Aluxir that was the biggest burn this season. I can still feel the sting.
i mean really,its both true and extremely biting
To the people asking why this video is the least popular; I imagine the cross section of people who like hockey, skateboarding, rap, and novelty songs is pretty small haha.
Aangler rap is literally the most popular genre right now. And this video has over 11 million views lol
@@MittserIt's probably got the least views out of any erb past season 1, prob cause anyone outside of north america wouldn't tend to watch it
Manek Iridius look it up you dumb bitch. Rap has more fans than rock music Lmao.
Manek Iridius rock music was popular in the 90’s, no one listens to that shit anymore.
I mean. Wayne is pretty out there in europe but Tony Hawk is known everywhere
Tony's second verse ("Great one, Wayne") has such phenomenal camera work. The head tracking camera focus as he rolls through the halfpipes, the missing subtitles on "You ain't one, Wayne" as Tony sticks his head forward, casual clothes thrown off to get into his skate outfit - it reminds me so much of late 90s, early 2000s skater aesthetics. ERB's set design and backgrounds are always so much fun, but I don't think Tony's background could be replicated by anyone who didn't grow up during that time to really appreciate the grunginess of a skater boy aesthetic. I love the rap verses themselves, but the camera work hits in such a nostalgic way that I appreciate it even with the sound off.
Def the weakest verse in the battle though
Best flow: Tony Hawk
Best Disses: Wayne Gretzky
Overall winner: The background designers
for real though the visuals are spectacular
I like the instrumental
Overall Winner: Bobby Orr
Yeah
For real, the attention to detail is just... chef's kiss.
Willy Wonka vs The Mad Hatter
DUDE THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN
yes! one thousand times this!
YES
Crazy Chocolate Monkey so long as it's not the batman villain lol
OMG YES
is nobody gonna talk about how good the effects and backgrounds were?
They were amazing haha.
I like your username ... and hellya, great editting. This one is top 10 ERBH for me. Top 5 for the music.
i apprieciate ur name
No, I’m disappointed that no ones talking about another legend that appeared. Here’s a hit, he’s from the bruins
I was about to comment that. They have a twelfth of the specials budget of major movie companies and they somehow still look better and more realistic than movies.
Gretzky absolutely mauled Tony in this. He came after his bank account, his love life, his achievements, even dissed Tony's skill at his own sport.
Gretzky is seriously the GOAT of sports, the guy is so insanely far ahead of everyone in hockey, no one has ever been even close to having as many records in their respective sports as he does. The guy had so many points in his career (goals + assists) that if he never scored a single goal, he would still be top scorer of ALL TIME, merely on points granted by assists, that's absolute insanity.
There's Don Bradman in Cricket though. No one ever came close to touching him just like Gretzky
Yes, but Ovechkin will be passing him in goals in 2 years, which is one of his apparently 'untouchable' records, so nothing's impossible.
Hakuho Sho would be also a Case of GOAT in Sumo
messi >>
@@c4explosivesinyourcartrunk817 lmao cricket, that’s like being a world record holder for crochet.
Colonel Sanders vs. Bernie Sanders
McMexicans
McMexicans Bernie accent: I am going to make chicken buckets free for everyone!
McMexicans yes. please
McMexicans Clever.
So basically fight for 15 vs corporate greed? This might actually have potential.
This is easily the most underrated ERB. Not only is the beat and flow fantastic, but Peter's Tony Hawk impression is spot on. I don't think it's appreciated because he just looks bored the whole time... But that's sort of just how Tony is? Obviously when he's excited he'll smile, but if Tony was in a rap battle I guarantee this is how he'd look while doing it.
Just watched Tony Hawk's Vogue interview and I fully agree. Even more amazing is that Peter even copied his body language. Tony also seemed to move his hands just like Peter does in this battle. This ERB is sooo underrated...
Yeah I totally agree, someone like Tiger Woods or Tom Brady would also be underwhelming because they are so incredibly focused on the task at hand 90+% of the time that they don't emote until they've won or lost
thanks, now i don't have to write about that, because thats my opinion too^^ This impression is spot on. My favourite part from Tony is "Oiler Alert, you're about to get traded". That sounds soo bored....but it fits perfectly xD Also, the flow never really stops, which is a nice thing too. Its more fast paced than other battles
Oh the mannerisms are so spot on
this battle how some of my favourite editing and visuals
real talk as a black kid who grew up playing THPS and old NHL games and has alot of hiphop/sports knowledge this is lowkey one of the best ERB's lyrically dunno how they still put put content this good after so long.
The flow in this is phenomenal and the lines are tight as hell
@@oz_jones The ending line of Gretsky trails at the final seconds ending his rhyme before the clock hits 0. The depth of the commentary and details is so insane. Easily needs more views then some of their others in my mind.
Hard agreed.
This is easily one of my favorite ERBs. The flow and beat are both so good. Not to mention it's so evenly matched the whole time keeping me entertained until the end.
Wayne Gretzky wins this at the end. His final verse absolutely shreds Tony Hawk in the end. Then proceeds to follow it with one of the best flows in the series.
Im with you but should points off for that cringe hockey/hawkey line. haha
@@FloboBoyce nooo the hockey/hawkey line is so good
@@FloboBoyceEverything about Epic Rap Battles of History is cringey. So you know, that just makes the hockey-Hawkey word play that much more awesome. What other circumstance could anyone ever use that word play anywhere else? That's what makes it incredible stuff. Cringe and all 👌
WHY HAVEN'T THEY DONE USAIN BOLT VS FOREST GUMP????
Conor Brown They should do that!
Conor Brown I read some very dumb suggestions, but this one would actually be great if done right.
Conor Brown interrupted by the flash
Because a better battle would be The Flash vs Quicksilver vs Sonic vs Forest Gump vs Usain Bolt
Usain Bolt vs the Flash?
"You're on your fourth wife, talk about the X games"
*OOF.*
DAMN TONY
BRUH
*Aboot
@@somegirl675 sorry for that crucial mistake
That was when the battle ended for people who WEREN'T sports fan's. everything after that was just the gravy on the poutine.
The heart behind him at 1:10 when he talks about his wife 😭😭 the people who designed this background are so underappreciated
Such a neat detail.
My grandma actually taught Gretzky in school. She always told me “It was a good thing he could play hockey, because he couldn’t do much else.”
Dang, that's really cool. (How did I get to this comment so early)
Because people don't reallycomment on older videos nearly as much?
Dam
“Keep your mittens on Gretzky they’re too clean” is an amazing line. 1. In hockey you take your gloves off to fight. So he’s saying keep you gloves on you don’t want this smoke. 2. Having “dirty hands” or “dirty mittens “ is saying you have great stick handling skills, so calling somebody’s hands clean is a hockey insult, but then also he’s saying you don’t want to fight and get your hands dirty. Overall just incredible writing
Even more impressive is, when Gretsky tells him to show some respect, he actually flicks his gloves off.
and, the part about, "I'll take a flyer down bird, you're getting wrecked" pretty much blew my mind as well.
Must be a Canadian on the team to come up with those lyrics.
@@Dayvit78 ERB has had deep, multifaceted lines in numerous battles.
@@MaJunior00 oh no doubt. they all seem very well researched.
"and I've set 183 of 'em"
No recovering from that
I wonder what's Hawk's single world record is about....
Was it an insult or something?
@@lior995 first 900 on a skateboard. Which means unlike Gretzky it's next to certain that it's unbreakable.
@@wowdogememe1541 Gretzky has far more records that are not being broken unless the league has major changes
@@wowdogememe1541 Umm, just a few lines later Gretzky says a 12yo beat that record, so definitely beatable. (and I think someone beat that too)
@@PhyloGenesis you can't beat first 900 what that record was is most revolutiona
Now that was a wholesome line...
"I taught kids around the world that there's nothing they can't do. (I)put more souls (shoe soles) into skating than some Vans shoes. "
Loved that part!
Gretzky also mentioning "and my hot wife, the only woman in the world for Wayne" is incredibly sweet (and the added swoon Zach does, I love this battle so much 😂)
“And you ain’t one, Wayne!”
This is one of my favorite battles, and it’s just impossible for me not to sing along to this line.
“You and I have so many world records between us. 184, that’s plenty of ‘em...and I’ve set 183 of them!”
Tony Hawk crumpled under the weight of that flex.
Skateboarding is not recorded as frequently as hokey so that may not be an accurate comparison. Many record-breaking tricks are done on free time and practice runs. With no camera crew or rewards, just for the love of Skateboarding. Though it is a fun line.
It’s over Hanakin I have the High Ground
Shastasnow still there’s no way he’d have anywhere near as many as Gretzky
That single line won him the battle for me.
@@nickdovolos8271 I mean there's no ''near as many'' when there isn't another system to base it on. Gretzky's 183 records are inflated in comparison to Tony Hawk's, simply because his sport actually has all those achievable records. It still isn't accurate.
Flo from Progressive vs Jake from State Farm
Jeff Joe THE WORLD IS NOT READY FOR SUCH EPICNESS
yesssssssssss
THIS IS THE BEST ONE I HAVE SEEN YET
Oh my lord YESSS THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN
Plus black dude from all state commericials, "Are you in good hands?"
I love how after Tony says "keep your mittens on Gretzsky, your too clean," Wayne takes his gloves off and they remain off for his entire verse except for when he's holding his stick
"Let me tell you what putting a puck in the *net's worth* ; double what you've banked in bucks, check my *net worth* "
I love lines like these so much, they're just too good.
You know, I watched this battle when it first came out, and I didn't catch that until reading this just now 😂
Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps vs The Flash and Aquaman
TechnicalHotDog that's a good idea actually
That actually made me laugh. That was good.
YEAHHHHHH
omg thats the most creative and clever matchup ever
Good choice

"And i've set 183 of 'em!" has the same energy as "Hamilton wrote the other 51!"
What battle was that from?
It’s from the song Non-Stop from Hamilton. The musical.
The context is that Alexander Hamilton, alongside John Jay and James Madison, wrote 85 essays known as The Federalist Papers.
John Jay got sick after writing 5.
James Madison wrote 29.
*HAMILTON WROTE… THE OTHER **_51!_*

Ryan Pardey That actually sounds relay good.
I wanna see him against H.R. Giger. They've got the naming pattern and are both famous for their twisted monsters.
like that
First idea I've read that didn't stink
Man, Gretzky DESTROYED Hawk, I mean, that was DESTRUCTION!
Saad Saeed tru
Agreed, that line about there being 184 records between them? Fucking savage.
Saad Saeed naw
"Talk about X games", that killed me
I was done after the "We set 194 records between us, and i set 183 of them" daaaaaaamn ^_^
I just noticed that the timer that appears in the backround when Wayne Gretzky raps is the amount of time left until the battle finishes (Timestamps: 0:49 and 2:17)
That amazes me
Tony Hawk's flow in the 1st verse is so addicting
Especially his line about ice getting melted into water and also his part of dropping into a half pipe
@@Brandon2940 the best flow in Season 5
“184 that’s plenty of them, and I set 183 of them” oof
You can't really come back from a line like that.
Thalanox what it means?
@@xrizbira What is your first language? I'm not sure what you were trying to ask.
Thalanox Japanese, the reference of that quote
xrizbira He’s saying that together they set 184 records, he is responsible for 183 of those records while Tony on set 1
"It's a Street Fight, T Hawk, show some respect"
T. Hawk is a character from Street Fighter
Every time i watch these I realize a new hidden reference, whether from rewatching or from the comments. Thanks!
They also have a street fighter reference with "yoga fire" in the Mlk vs Gandhi
Thanks for explaining the joke?
@@DiamondDust132 It's pretty easy to miss tho? I know the reference and I still didn't catch it at first.
90's Street Fighter no less
"lets skip the kickflips and mctwists, you'll be speechless after 3 periods like an ellipsis" that was such an amazing line
Best background music. That whistling sound is very distinct.
Percy Jackson vs Harry Potter
PLEASE
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!
YES!
Sush XD YES!
Make this happen
Percy Jackson vs Harry Potter
This might be the most underrated battle that they've done.
Because it is, aside from their newer videos, this and EpicLLOYD Vs Nice Peter 2 has the least amount of views
@@newcontentin100years9 just scrolling down the recommended videos shows me several ERB videos with similar or less views. Not saying this isn't underrated because it is, but it's not nearly unique in being underrated.
Agreed!
@@Brandon2940 How so? It has 16 million views, that's more people than some countries have. It's definitely not underrated (unless that you're on about the like differences?); It's very much beloved, and while it may not have as many as certain other of their videos has, it's still a fair chunk and overall good enough I'd say.
I completely agree.
“All the ice underneath you will get melted into water when I hit you with a trick that’s even hotter than your daughterrrr” has some great flow
Easilly the most satisfying part to listen to
Seriously under-rated ERB. One of their Top 5.
*_Epic Rap Battle Announcer vs Movie Trailer Voice!_*
Who has the most *_HYPE?!_*
^ Trust Me
Magnus Vardalon omfg yes
HELL YEAH!
DO IT
I NEED THIS
Hayao Miyazaki vs Walt Disney (time for the latter to get his hands dirty for a change)
This would validate the series' name, because that would definitely be an epic battle if done right.
The Dashboard hell. yes. I'm in
OMG THIS ONE WOULD BE AMAZING
More like "Toei Animation -VS- Disney" !!! krillin vs olaf lol
YES!
I only just now realized that when Gretzky is talking about his wife the screen in the back makes a heart
This is one of the best ERBs in terms of references. Almost every line has a double meaning as well as a solid face value diss
objective comparative analysis between ERBs is this
Damn, I agree with the comments. This was DEFINITELY one of the most underrated ERBs. I didn’t even know much about Wayne Gretzky until this battle and it’s absolutely one of my favorite battles now
Check out Easter bunny in ERB
Let's just put it this way: take the second highest points scorer in the history of the NHL, now basically double what he has and that's what Gretzky had. Absolutely dominant. Freak of nature.
This is my favorite battle and I don't even watch sports.
@Neon Knight ... I knew about Gretzky because I feed on hockey ... but I totally agree with you. This ERBH grows on me after every viewing. I like WW versus Stevie. I like Ninja Turtles vs Masters. I like Ghostbusters vs Mythbusters. But this one might have best editing and the best beat.
Neon Knight same
Siri vs Cortana
This actually sounds amazing.
Jeremy Neris old McDonald vs Ronald mcdonald
With a hal9000 surprise again
no alpha/Epsilon (red vs blue) vs Cortana

Tony’s first verse was savage. If he continued like that he would be the clear winner.

Reading the comments explaining the lines makes me appreciate the commitment to all erb raps that they have
"For true sports fans this was finished as soon as they heard the matchup"
That ending was brutal
Ya brother. I spent 2 minutes before I even hit play having and argument with no one about that very thing lol.
I'd argue against that line though. Because his biggest claim to fame (being the most dominant person to ever play a sport.) Isn't actually a title he holds. Meanwhile Tony Hawk, as said in the video, blew up skateboarding and extreme sports in general which are rapidly growing globally which would certainly make him more important at the very least historically, as well as probably much more well known to "true sports fans" who don't follow either kind of sport.
@@wowdogememe1541 Gretzky was as important for icehockey is hawk was for skateboarding, his trade to the LA kings opened it up for American teams and helped to many to get interested in the sport
@@bongo2282 Gretzky was important at helping spread ice hockey to parts of the US where it wasn't so popular. Tony Hawk put skating on the world map, he's a household name globally. You leave the Northern hemisphere Wayne Gretzky may as well be John Scott

Alice vs Frisk
yes
Jamyang Pelsang that would be great
Gretzky: "got you down on your kneepads... (sorry 'bout the deke joke)" is brilliant: we Canadians are known for apologizing; Gretzky has a super clean image so he needs to for the kneepads bit, and "deke" is a hockey term for a quick evade, all over that double double entendre... Man that was good writing.
00:27 the editing in this is amazing
I have to admit... I love this one. Not just as a ERB but as a song. Every single verse is perfect.
Next one Chris Jericho vs Conor Mcgregor
If they used another wrestler, it would be John Cena. Maybe against McGregor ou Floyd Mayweather.
Well i chose Jericho for a few reasons
1 Hes my favorite
2 Hes the first Undisputed Champion (2 top tier belts in his industry)
3 Hes really good at both wrestling and talking. And has both a movie and music carrier.
4 As a smaller guy in the WWE his acivements carry in my opinion greater value.
5 He fought both Lesnar and Goldberg in real life and lived to tell about it.
6 Cena can tag in for Jericho as a rapper like Macho Man did for Hogan, but since hes a real rapper it wont be as interesting music wise. While Jerichos rock background would sound more interesting.
I would put the rock in there instead because he is more well known. I would also get the real rock and not an actor or someone else to play him. He has also had all the things you said expect for a music carrier.
TheBrooklynBomb Yes thats true. But i think ERB has proven that even with unknown people from history they can make some fantastic stuff. My only problem with this is that considering the Rocks size and family history he had a leg up in the idustry.
Jericho is more similar to Mcgregor, in that they had to work thair way up from the bottom to reach the top. So no one man has the highgrownd during the battle. The more evenly matched the rappers are the better the songs in my oppinion.
TheBrooklynBomb Or they could have Triple H vs Conan the Barbarian
honest trailer voice vs epic rap battle of history announcer
o0 shuffle 0o I dont think that would work
A man can dream ALI Yildirim
King Stannis Baratheon cute
HOLY SHIT YESS
That's actually a genius idea.
The set design and effects are super colorful and add so much life to the battle. Love it!
damn even the background music reminded me 2000s sports games 🤩
Ronald McDonald vs The Joker
zombieslayer Yes
OMG YES
but please jack nicholsons joker!
.. YES PLEASE!
zombieslayer I was really thinking Negan from TWD against the Joker from Batman. It makes more since to me.
Phenomenal comeback by Gretzky. Hawk’s flow was effortless and sharp, and it was outclassing Gretzky’s punny lines. But that last line by Gretzky was straight murder.
I remember when this was new and I watched it with friends saying "Guys, Gretzkys gonna kill Hawk" and between them I was the only one who did sports for most of his life so when that line was dropped I both loved how true it was and my friends appreciated that it was both a solid dig but also accurate since I called it. They initially thought it was just because I had played Hockey and while we agreed Hawk's flow was best and that initial onslaught seemed tough to overcome, Gretzky absolutely dominated in all 3 periods of the rap battle.
Another detail I enjoyed about this particular battle as normally ERB has 2 sets of bars between people and they did 3 instead so it would be more like Hockey. a LOT of detail was put into this battle and its one of the reasons its among my favorites.
@@ajohnymous5699 yeah, but tony hawk wins real life, tony hawk blew up an entire sport, hockey would've still just been hockey with Gretzky, tony hawk blew the lid on what skating was expected to be, for that he takes the win
@@tardnation2670 i mean it’s totally besides the point of the comment, but one could argue that Gretzky did the same. He essentially created a new style of the game with his utilization of speed and size against what was classically a big man’s sport. It gave coaches new ideas and tactics that still heavily affect the game today, years after Gretzky’s retirement. Gretzky also popularized the game in the south. His trade to Los Angeles is regarded as one of if not the biggest trade in sports history and it proved that hockey could be played anywhere in Canada and the United States and be popular. And that line about Gretzky having 183 world records is well founded. Guy came into the league a tiny undrafted child, tore up the sport for 20 years, and left as a god.
@@tardnation2670 Gretzky blew up hockey in America and his records will never be broken though except for maybe his goal record by Ove
@@tardnation2670 I mean, there is 184 records between them
In terms of background art, this might be the best ERB. The THAW, x games, and pro skater asthetics. The rhymes and beat are also dope.
The best would go to Thor vs Zeus and Harry Potter vs Luke Skywalker
@@dorotaknap7581I would say they are the best in set design and props.
@@cherrycardoza405 if you get rid of the lego battles, then this battle has the best background, especially in Hawk second verse
“For true sports fans, this was finished as soon as they heard the matchup”.
Holy fuck that was brutal😂😂😂😂
Dr.House M.D Vs DR.Cox from scrubs
Anthony Perna This one needs to happen. Two of my fav shows!!!
Anthony Perna FUCK YEAH
suggested this a while back. itll be the battle of the smartasses, with the most epic comebacks
No, Dr Cox vs Ari Gold for abusive mentor.
Ben 10 vs teen titans
This is was actually good, you guys redeemed yourselves.
GiggityGuy The last one was good too.
GiggityGuy this was One of the worst... Atleast imo
GiggityGuy you can't redeem yourself after "this is was actually good..."
Gaming Genre What? If you're gonna start being stupid don't bother.
w00ds98 To each their own right?
“This ain’t typical sports, I use centripetal force” is such an interesting line for me, the moment i go to a physics test involving centripetal force i always start to hear the rap battle in my head😂
Killed it again. Straight fire. Was fun to watch. Great video
Judge Dredd vs Judge Judy
Peter Wulf Fucking awesome
Peter Wulf seriously, get this up voted
Only Judy can judge me
Peter Wulf I'll second that!
That one needs to be made.
the impractical jokers vs the jackass crew
Fast Flash Yes 😂😂
yes
Fast Flash I like it lol
YASS
YES!
I love how Gretzky takes time out of the battle to announce how much he loves his wife.
The beat on this is so insanely good, it’s one of my faves
The Flash VS Usain Bolt, i'm BEGGING
Separate Cloud yes please
Please god why dont they do Flash versus Usain WHEEEEEEEUUUUUYYYY
Separate Cloud Please do!!
Separate Cloud plz
Separate Cloud yes flash v using would be insane
Tonys flow was better, but gretzkeys disses won the day
So it was a draw?
@Jon Balyeat I still think it was pretty close
@Jon Balyeat But you're right. Hawk pretty much won this considering I'm an Avalanche fan and not an Oilers fan
No he's smoothed it out with the damn Zamboni
@@M4A1BestGirl Boooooo!
"Great one wayne, let me say something wayne, I got 99 problems, and you ain't one wayne"
DAMN
"But on the microphone I don't play hawkey" He got serious after that. 0:52
I just realised how weird it must be for the athletes in the battle to watch a random CZcams rapper personally insult them.
Tony and Wayne have good enough senses of humor that I think they'd take it well
Gordon Ramsay enjoyed his
Bryan Pedersen especially tony
I think it was Stephen King who actually tweeted about losing to Edgar Allen Poe lol
Wait..stephen king won that rap tho lmfao. But respect to King for respecting the deceased.
*when only 10% people get the lines
Thomas Weeden I get most of them, expect the gravy on poutine one
Poutine is the national dish of Canada. Cheese curds and gravy on french fries.
ElGringoCastellano I will add on that the meal consists in 3 layers, fries, curds then you finish up with the gravy, to which come the rhyme, i got this battle cover like gravy on poutine (he means he is on top)
yeah but is it good?
It is the most delicious thing on earth
Gretzky’s last verse is one of the all-time greatest
Upon a revisit to this battle it’s actually like one of the best they’ve ever done. The beats, the edits, the bars, the flow bro what the fuck was I smoking when I heard this the first time ☠️
How is this the least popular battle?
It’s so good.
TheCliffWall is it?
Skateboarding and Ice Hockey are not such big sports outside North American continent. That's why.
Eddie Newgate or people are idiots
I would have thought caitlyn jenner v bruce banner was least popular
Mason Rowley because the put Bruce Banner/Hulk against Caitlyn Jenner instead of Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde like everyone wanted
Such an underrated ERB tbh. The lines, flow, and visuals were SO good.
how do you know it's underrated? by the quantity of views?
Know for a fact this is one of the best ERBs ever made.
One of their top best imo
my favorite and probably the best erb ever made
Doctor X ++++++++++++
i think this is on of the of the most underrated battles ever
ion need to say anything deep, but this battle fucking kills. its now one of my favorites despite not even knowing anything about tony, wayne, or sports in general. both of their flows and disses are great
Ron Swanson vs Ron Burgundy
Doomsday you mean the two greatest mustached Ron's of all time? I'm in.
this one does make a lot of sense
best idea ever!!!!!
Who and who?
really? you haven't atleast *HEARD* of one of them?
Gretzky won this in a landslide, honestly. Hawk had some good lines, but Gretzky was superior in almost every verse. Really great battle nonetheless.
Gretzky has better rap than Hawk. It's my opinion :D.
It was over from the X games comment, Gretzky took it to the net. It was an awesome battle, with a nice mix up of rhymes from them both rather than the somewhat standard two chances each.
I love how gretzky has an awkward politeness to even his toughest lines
TONY HAWK WON CLEARLY HE HAS MORE WORLD RECORDS AND CLEARLY IS A BETTER ALTHETE
But he wrote in Caps Lock, he MUST be right...
“It’s a street fight T Hawk show some respect/ if you don’t then you’ll take a slap shot to the deck”
This line is incredibly underrated. Not only is the flow insane and the harsh, quick motions add to the vibe, but it’s full of references.
T Hawk is a street fighter character.
A slap shot, like a slap to the face but hockey-ified
“To the deck” initially means like to the face or something vague but in skateboarding the deck is the part you stand on
Flo from progressive vs Jake from Statefarm
GamBit - legendary
