Still coming back to revisit these years later. This battle was great overall, but the Ghostbusters were so spot, it's incredible. I love every part of this
i love how the ghosbusters verse sounds like spooky sci fi with the theremin sound, and the mythbusters verse sounds like the discovery channel with the electric guitar. it's little details like that which i feel like aren't found in every battle.
Yep, it's things like that that set a few apart from the rest. It feels like every element actually had thought put into it. It's one of the reasons their politically focused ones are bad. Especially with the newer ones where it's mostly just stuff you've read/heard on the news. Sitting down and making the same jokes the tonight show and whatnot made 622 times this year isn't a neat detail, it's beating a dead horse. And then brainlets try to claim you're a snowflake on one side or the other if you point out how garbage they are even though everyone should think they're garbage because they're garbage.
@@tbnelson4262 Its a reference to the song "Bad Touch" by the Bloodhound Gang. The chorus lyrics in that song is, "You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals, so let's do it like they do on the Discovery channel," referring to wild sex I guess.

I've read in other videos the rules around parody are quite particular. You certainly can offer a parody to the original actor. But. Should they accept, then learn their parody is unacceptable to their sensibilities, they technically hold that job portraying their role and the project can be utterly cancelled. Because you aren't allowed to hire or substitute the original actor with another for the sake of pushing out the parody. Because it could diminish their value as actors.
@@glenmcgillivray4707 I think that's an actor's union rule (that exists because of Back to the Future Part 2), not a law, and even in the case of union actors I'm not sure how applicable it would be in a situation where the actor actually refuses to perform the part as described in the script they signed on for.
“Your science is preposterous the opposite of competent process and in this episode we’ll give you a synopsis” May be the smoothest delivered line in ERB history.
Eh not as smooth as "And all the ice underneath you will get melted into butter when I'll hit you with a trick that's even hotter than your daughter~ You're old and you're basic your talent is faded and Oiler alert you're about to get traded~" Tony Hawk lost that battle but his flow was clean as hell.

What kind of safety switch are they after? Peck had the Con Ed guy use a switch to turn the laser grid off, which released the ghosts. If there was a passive means to hold ghosts, they would have used thar instead. Besides, Peck was EPA, he was investigating them for issues he had no authority over.
@@ReddwarfIV What they are likely looking for is a method of safely releasing the ghosts without causing an explosion or a backup system that could contain the ghosts temporarily while the laser grid was shut down. These guys literally had a huge switch that causes the building to explode. And, of course, we have the small problem of this dangerous facility being located in the middle of New York City. A highly populated area. Walter Peck was correct in the sense that these individuals were endangering the lives of countless innocent people with their activities. So, it absolutely falls under the category of "shady sh*t". As for Peck, he had the authority to conduct his original investigation which he claimed was related to suspected hazardous substances. But his actions beyond that were criminally negligent. The explosion was the result of him messing with equipment he had no knowledge of after being warned against it by experts. The correct course of action would be to report what he found to his superiors and to get appropriate agencies and experts involved. The Ghostbusters could legitimately be ordered to cease and desist all activities, and the building could have been quarantined until the situation was resolved. But Peck should not have been messing around with that equipment.
@@ReddwarfIV As a side note. I looked up the term, "safety switch", and it refers to a device that cuts off electrical power to prevent a person from receiving an electrical shock. They go under different names, but that is the more generic name for them. While that would prevent some forms of electrical hazards, to me the building detonating because of the poor design of the system was the larger concern. And what was the long term plan here? Keep the ghosts in this thing until the building changes hands and the new owner gets a big surprise? This was clearly not well thought out.
@@TerryProthero In fairness, probably not a whole lot of documentation out there on designing things for trapping and containing ghosts long-term... or at all.
I love how this battle reflects Winston being a later recruit in the movie by not including him in the introduction or the commercial bit at the beginning of the GB’s first verse.
I just realized when he said “I reject your flow and substitute my own” is a reference to when one of the Mythbusters said I reject your reality and substitute my own.
The references are so deep and dense it's incredible just how well done this is from all angles. Whether it's the mannerisms of the characters, or the endless entendres, every step of the way this skit has something to unpack and enjoy. This shit is art
I just found out bruh. Damn you're right it hits hard. He was one of my favorites. He was on hell of an engineer. He can build whatever faster than others. Remember when he built the hand robot for the bending the bullet episode. One of my favs for sure.

Mythbusters' 1st stanza is one of the highlights of the whole series. Captured their spirits, with seriously AWESOME rapid-fire rhythm and even harmonization and a nifty coordinated dance! Left me wanting more of that for sure.

For me it was kind of the opposite, thought Peter was a lot closer BUT that’s not the point. Their makeup artist took Lloyd not looking remotely like Adam Savage and managed to practically remake his face into something close. While still looking like a human being and not some kind of clown. Kind of more impressive, serious props to the team. And yeah, it is hard to appreciate just how good Lloyd and Peter are at impressions because they do so many. They are shockingly talented at that. Look how good both of them nailed Young Elvis and Grown-up Michael Jackson through physical language. And for that matter in this one how Peter managed his get his voice close to Jamie’s deep voice range is nuts.
I love how energetic and happy were ghostbusters in their first line, and after they got beaten by mythbusters they suddenly changed to agressive and more serious tone.
max corrice No that would be way weaker. They don't have anything in common except them both being professors. Now, Evolution vs. Pokévolution would be a sight to see.
Charles Darwin vs Ash Ketchum is much better. Ash is more well known. As for Professor X, he is better against Malcolm X. They are both leaders with Xs at the end of their names who led groups hated by many people and were segregated
I can’t say how many times I’ve watched this, but I just realized that the music is mostly synth based for the Ghostbusters and brings in that iconic slide guitar for the Mythbusters. Nice touch
8 years and this is still probably my favorite beat in the entire series. it sounds so good, but as plenty of people have pointed out, it also switches from synths for the ghostbusters verses to slide guitars for the mythbusters verses. it *nails* the sound of both of them, it could’ve just come out of the soundtrack for each.
Id go so far as to say Zach pretty much kills most of his stuff, His Rap battles are for some reason always ranked in the highest for me. The one thats my favorite without him is Roosevelt V Churchill. But Otherwise Zach is pretty perfect at capturing his target. Stephen King being one of my most favorite/accurate ones
For a split-second, right after "Say the first thing that pops into your mind", you can see the Ghostbusters wincing, because thats how the Stay Pufy marshmallow ghost was made
I was surprised when I first learned about their relationship. In all the years they worked together, they never once visited each other's home or had dinner together. I find that such a shame. :(
Adam has set straight the rumors that they didn't like each other. They really respect each other and worked closely, they just never became close "Friends." There's no animosity between them
@@caseylocke4474 They don't hate each other, they're just aren't close friends. In fact they look up to each others' work. Sometimes you don't need to be close friends with people to respect them and have a jolly good time. And if you really wanna get technical about it, they had numerous diners in the show together, at least on cam.
The "Flip Kari butter side up" and the "Hey!" were hilarious, then when he followed it up with the "Show these dweebs how to rock a beret" and Jamie's "Hey!" - I just fuckin' died. Dead.
This has to be the Best ERB. After rewatching many of them, this one has so much effort in the costumes and actors, even down to Janine looking like a Snacc as always.

Sadly Grant Imahara died today following a brain aneurysm. :( Probably using electricity from the clouds in heaven to power up a new robot which he now has the time to work on.
Unfortunately he was an very vocal atheist... breaks my heart... such a brilliant mind and amazing personality... I saw his brief cameo on the last episode of Eureka and I cried.
The little Robot they do in the background is so fucking great and is completely authentic to how Adam and Jamie play off each other. Also, the Guitar. The goddamn Guitar.

It's now February of 2022 and I never get tired of watching certain channels, ERBH being one of them. Seeing this one with Mark Douglas from The Key of Awesome makes me sad that they split up, but all good things must end...
The line "you are poor scientists" comes from the Dean who kicked the Ghostbusters off campus at the start of the movie... that's why "it's confirmed". Terrific lyrics!
Sadly, you treated that as a final uppercut when it doesn't have any other disses that actually make it needed. I already explained multiple times their two main disses "Positrons don't react like that" and "Walter Peck was right, that's some shady shit" were both largely flawed
@@achannel6664 It is a fictionalized rap battle where one team doesn't even exist so you should stop taking things so seriously for a while. Also just let the man have an opinion.
YES. Such a good line from a team that incorporates ridiculously tough vocabulary at times. This whole verse being so brief makes me want to cry, but it is fantastic quality.
“Starting with the vacuum cleaners on your back it’s a fact positrons don’t react like that” Continue the 1st stanza of the myth busters song in the comments
I can’t decide on a masterpiece, they’ve had so many incredible ones and their worst ones are honestly just ok, there’s not a truly bad one. This one, Joker v Pennywise, Bonnie/Clyde v Romeo and Juliet, the Russians, James Bond v Austin Powers and the film directors are top contenders for masterpieces imo
TXF Honestly, that either means your stupid, or I watch too much mythbusters, i was annoyed at how bad the costumes were (except for kari), but thats me..

WHAT? How does it make him win
B3AST D0Ge That single sentence discredits the entire need for the Ghostbusters to exist.
I laughed when he said it because the ghostbusters talked all that good shit and then BAM!
"Ghosts aren't real. -_-"
TRUE
yeap :D
"Just one step took me out the ghetto" is still one of the best lines
Except for its inaccuracy, since Stay-Puft came from the west side of the city...
Why???
@@monohymn fr thought that shit was mad wack
@@critchblackpoolful Stay-Puft came from the west side but is based on Biggie Smalls who is from the East side
@@arkham.2004 thank you. I didn't get it 😂😂
who ever did the "we got one!" absolutely nailed it. It sounds almost identical to the original
I think it was Nice Peter
@@Naltrex no i think it was epiclloyd
i like how they got a woman just to lip that part alone
Her name is Dodger, she's the one who portrayed Janine in this video

I'd like to be in season 4 pls. Thx.
very subtle dan...
This I would love to see
show them how it's done dan :>
That would be awesome
indeed a good idea

My Brain: “ Yo raise up it’s Stay Puft I stay fluff blaze chumps and flip Kari butter side up....”
Same💀💀
😂😂
"HEY!"
@@dragonnugget "show these dweebs how to rock a beret"
@@LucyAdroit I live so large you can't harsh my mellow
No joke, I cannot get enough of the Mythbusters' dancing. It's some of the best ERB has ever seen.
"You built a laser grid with no safety switch"
"Walter Peck was right, thats some shady shit"
Best part
That line is the only reason I remember Walter Peck's name.
True
@@MrFenne and they're right that was shady
Smooth as hell too.
Btu they did have a safety switch. Walter Peck had the ConEd guy flip it when all the shit went south.
Bruh how does Lloyd look like every single character? Shout out to the make up artist!
@hell wolf Adam Savage
Makeup is definitely a big part of it but so is Lloyd's acting, he matches the facial expressions and mannerisms of his characters so well
For me it was kind of the opposite, thought Peter was a lot closer BUT that’s not the point. Their makeup artist took Lloyd not looking remotely like Adam Savage and managed to practically remake his face into something close. While still looking like a human being and not some kind of clown. Kind of more impressive, serious props to the team. And yeah, it is hard to appreciate just how good Lloyd and Peter are at impressions because they do so many. They are shockingly talented at that. Look how good both of them nailed Young Elvis and Grown-up Michael Jackson through physical language. And for that matter in this one how Peter managed his get his voice close to Jamie’s deep voice range is nuts.
@@jsloanhpi totally agreed. some crazy talent here
I literally can't see Peter in that costume. He looks nothing like himself anymore, it's actually terrifying.
"let's do it like we do on the Discovery Channel" so underrated, love Blood Hound Gang
Yup
Oh shit I just realized
Got that one straight away, that line was 'savage'
THANK GOD SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED THAT LINE!
Same the song is good
I love how energetic and happy were ghostbusters in their first line, and after they got beaten by mythbusters they suddenly changed to agressive and more serious tone.
"Let's show these Myth bitches how we do it downtown!"
No wonder Marshmallow caught on fire in the movie. His raps are fucking lit.
да
I wanted to comment with a pun on the marshmallow guy as well, but yours is too great to be surpassed!
Kipknock10 that is lit
U r so right
LOL
Charles Darwin vs. Professor Oak
Yes!
no. charles darwin vs. proessor x
No professor oak vs professor x
max corrice No that would be way weaker. They don't have anything in common except them both being professors. Now, Evolution vs. Pokévolution would be a sight to see.
Charles Darwin vs Ash Ketchum is much better. Ash is more well known.
As for Professor X, he is better against Malcolm X. They are both leaders with Xs at the end of their names who led groups hated by many people and were segregated
I can’t say how many times I’ve watched this, but I just realized that the music is mostly synth based for the Ghostbusters and brings in that iconic slide guitar for the Mythbusters. Nice touch
8 years and this is still probably my favorite beat in the entire series. it sounds so good, but as plenty of people have pointed out, it also switches from synths for the ghostbusters verses to slide guitars for the mythbusters verses. it *nails* the sound of both of them, it could’ve just come out of the soundtrack for each.
Im really curious about what the mythbusters think of this video
KarRuptAssassin Adam Savage posted this on Twitter: twitter.com/donttrythis/status/531883784367775744
I wanna know what Jamie thought about "show these dweebs how to rock a beret". XD
They've all tweeted a response, except Tori. 😆
Austin Smith Why does everyone I've seen spell Tory's name "Tori"?
Shiina Because his whole name is 'Salvatore', which the abbreviation is 'Tori' (Salvatore > Tore > Tori)
I literally cannot decide who did the best in this one. That doesn't happen often.
Tyler Cunningham Dude, it's easy. Stay Puft.
Really, I think the Mythbusters had a little bit better rhymes. I really liked their part, and they're right, the Ghostbusters were lame.
Tyler Cunningham "That's enough from the walrus and Dickless the Clown" was all I needed.
Kat Minor
I kinda liked
"Tell 'em 'bout the twinkie."
"Like your show? It's all fluff and filler. I'll kick your Hiney-man; I'm a Savage killer."
Tyler Cunningham ah hell I've listened to this quite a lot and I didn't even catch those name disses. Even better line now that I know
Zach Sherwin does a damn near perfect impression of Egon
Dude has range.
he looks almost exactly like harold ramis in this too ! he's talented as shit
Id go so far as to say Zach pretty much kills most of his stuff, His Rap battles are for some reason always ranked in the highest for me. The one thats my favorite without him is Roosevelt V Churchill. But Otherwise Zach is pretty perfect at capturing his target. Stephen King being one of my most favorite/accurate ones
Even though he has plenty of other raps I was a bit disappointed he was the slow melancholy sounding one. It was on point but he’s such a good rapper
@@michaelknowlton714 Zach is by far their best member, probably helps he writes most of the raps so he can nail the flow in his own head easier.
For a split-second, right after "Say the first thing that pops into your mind", you can see the Ghostbusters wincing, because thats how the Stay Pufy marshmallow ghost was made
I thought everyone was just wincing at how dumb Tory is, but you're right, it's been too long since I watched ghostbusters.
I think their dance routine is the most impressive thing they have ever done
Simon Cowell vs Gordon Ramsey?
OMG THAT WOULD BE SO FUNNY!
Sarah Parks Glad you think so haha
Hell yes
AWESOME! That would be great.
Holy fuck yes
Me: I need to find a good rapper, but where?
*Sees Big Puff Roast 5 Characters in 20 Seconds*
Me: HIRED!
alex camacho lol
I think he roasted 9
Eh he didn't really attack the Ghostbusters
I watch this video every day. Every time I watch I go to comment sectipn for this comment.
Big Puff? No, that's Da Sta-Puf Daddy.
Whoever plays the ghostbusters pulled it off really well, hats off to them
I love the teamwork between the myth busters in this one. Just shows that Peter and Lloyd are two minds of the same kind.
And there is no man who could ever muck with what they've left behind
M-I-C
I ROCK THE MIC PROPERLY
K-E-Y
TURNING PROFITS IVE GOT THE KEY
WRONG RAP!!!
Serena Smith now dont that just sum it all
What? I he started it first.
With a performance like that, you’d think Jamie and Adam actually enjoyed each other‘s company
I was surprised when I first learned about their relationship. In all the years they worked together, they never once visited each other's home or had dinner together. I find that such a shame. :(
Adam has set straight the rumors that they didn't like each other. They really respect each other and worked closely, they just never became close "Friends." There's no animosity between them
@@kyleguajardo
That's often how it is. Friends and colleagues are two separate groups and they don't always overlap.
@@kyleguajardo and when they roll up to work, they bring the chocolate and the peanut butter. They make an awesome team.
@@caseylocke4474 They don't hate each other, they're just aren't close friends. In fact they look up to each others' work.
Sometimes you don't need to be close friends with people to respect them and have a jolly good time.
And if you really wanna get technical about it, they had numerous diners in the show together, at least on cam.
The "Flip Kari butter side up" and the "Hey!" were hilarious, then when he followed it up with the "Show these dweebs how to rock a beret" and Jamie's "Hey!" - I just fuckin' died. Dead.
Was that a Pusher-T reference?
@hell wolf ok?
@hell wolf problem?
Agreed. And Jamie would object. You leave the beret out of this.
One of the all-time best ERBs, so much good flow and making everyone feel involved in the battle. And perfect personality.
This has to be the Best ERB. After rewatching many of them, this one has so much effort in the costumes and actors, even down to Janine looking like a Snacc as always.
I need to formally apologize for sleeping on this ERB. It is extremely well executed a filled with fan service. Well done I say!
Justice League vs the Avengers would be next level for @ERB
1.The Presence vs The One Above All (including 2 brothers from amalgam for bonus characters)
2. Avengers vs JL (with Xman, Fantastic 4 and Doom patrol)
3. Ultron vs Braniac (with Darkseid, Thanos and Galactus)
4. Deadpool vs Deathstroke
5. Stalin vs Josip Broz Tito
6. Team Cap vs Team Ironman
7. Batman vs Superman (with Wonder Woman)
8. Jack Kirby vs Stan Lee
9. Flash vs Quicksilver
10. Dr Manhattan vs...... idk
@@Chad_Eldridge good idea. And who is that on your profile picture? It kinda looks similar to meca cazin.
@@Chad_Eldridge Bosnian youtuber from Cazin. Cool guy. Are you slavic?
@@Chad_Eldridge eyes mostly but entire face kinda. And there is a ton of slavs in germany. Bosnains Croats and Serbs always go there for job for some reason. More than in all other countries combined.
SO. MUCH. YES!
ERB is fantastic but this is definitely in their top 3. Absolutely spectacular work gents!
Mythbusters first verse is amazing, such a good flow.
ThatGamerBlue That entire segment is probably the best out of any in ERB
@@-et37- That and the Bill Gates vs. Steve Jobs one.
@The Chosen Wan yes yes and fuck yes.
It's like actual mythbusters where you want more of adam and jamie instead of the other crew
@The Chosen Wan Adolf Hitlers verse in 2 round is the best
This is wild rewatching this after so long, it came out during my 8th grade year, and now I've been in the Army for almost 2 years. What a crazy thing.
@Sassy Tangerine I know I feel so honored! And thank you for your support, I'm still he same dork except now I'm working on my bachelor's in history haha
How is it now?
@@cyrusthegreat7030 the Army or rewatching this? Lol I just hit my 3 year Armyversarry and it’s hard to say the least. I love and hate it. Seeing this video hurts more and more every year but I’m thankful for it
@@picochily well I wish the best for you congratulations on the 3 year anniversary
@@cyrusthegreat7030 thank you ☺️ and I you
Quite possibly the best intro out of all the seasons combined
2:02 he roasted their asses!
0:57 “Good thing you work in a firehouse 😃” Everything was perfect from they way he said it to the shot that’s literally the only reason I come to this battle sometimes
Sadly Grant Imahara died today following a brain aneurysm. :( Probably using electricity from the clouds in heaven to power up a new robot which he now has the time to work on.
Gonna be one awesome robot. Rest in Peace Grant 😭
When I get to heaven and meet with Grant Imahara, I want to believe he's converted his house into something like the Geonosis droid factory.
I accept this timeline.
F
Unfortunately he was an very vocal atheist... breaks my heart... such a brilliant mind and amazing personality... I saw his brief cameo on the last episode of Eureka and I cried.
I feel like no one is talking about that awesome dance from the mythbusters, I actually got chills on the 'laser grid' part.
The little Robot they do in the background is so fucking great and is completely authentic to how Adam and Jamie play off each other.
Also, the Guitar. The goddamn Guitar.
Same here!

I love this ERB and come back to it on a weekly basis. The choreography coupled with the 80's feel make it an instant classic!
Who’s here after hearing about Grant’s passing? 😞 EDIT: Don’t take life for granted y’all , he was only 49.
I still can't believe that ;-;
Me !
Me... so sad
Same :,(
Me :(
It's now February of 2022 and I never get tired of watching certain channels, ERBH being one of them. Seeing this one with Mark Douglas from The Key of Awesome makes me sad that they split up, but all good things must end...
"Good thing you work in a firehouse"
"Because you just got burned"
"You are poor scientists"
"And that's confirmed"
Damn
It was over then. Myth busters took it with that one.
BlueSteel nah puff beat all
The line "you are poor scientists" comes from the Dean who kicked the Ghostbusters off campus at the start of the movie... that's why "it's confirmed". Terrific lyrics!
Sadly, you treated that as a final uppercut when it doesn't have any other disses that actually make it needed. I already explained multiple times their two main disses "Positrons don't react like that" and "Walter Peck was right, that's some shady shit" were both largely flawed
@@achannel6664 It is a fictionalized rap battle where one team doesn't even exist so you should stop taking things so seriously for a while. Also just let the man have an opinion.
The vocal harmony between Pete and LLoyd in this one are so bloody good
They are back baby! That's how you start off a season with a bang! Season 4 is going to be awesome, and that’s confirmed!
first
Blue she'll :D
couldn't have said that better :D
Dan bull vs vgrb
Best in the biz like they can't stop here let the 4th season of EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY BEGI cam
7 years later and this is still one of my favorites. The word play and insults are top notch. Well done and thank you.
Yes, I agree.
"Your science is preposterous the opposite of competent process and in this episode we'll give you a synopsis"
Greatest flow in ERB history
YES. Such a good line from a team that incorporates ridiculously tough vocabulary at times. This whole verse being so brief makes me want to cry, but it is fantastic quality.
Hell nah bill and ted’s first verse was to fire
“Starting with the vacuum cleaners on your back it’s a fact positrons don’t react like that” Continue the 1st stanza of the myth busters song in the comments
@@thebestteammate6528 You built a laser grid,with no safety switch.And Walter Peck was right;Thats some shady sh!t
“Good thing you work in a firehouse cause you just got burned, you are poor scientists and that’s confirmed”
This is honestly ERB's masterpiece. It is wild.
I can’t decide on a masterpiece, they’ve had so many incredible ones and their worst ones are honestly just ok, there’s not a truly bad one. This one, Joker v Pennywise, Bonnie/Clyde v Romeo and Juliet, the Russians, James Bond v Austin Powers and the film directors are top contenders for masterpieces imo
The Mythbusters costumes and stuff were some of the better ones. Honestly took me a second to realize that Adam wasn't actually Adam.
Their Kari was pretty good too.
Sol Midorez Agreed
TXF Honestly, that either means your stupid, or I watch too much mythbusters, i was annoyed at how bad the costumes were (except for kari), but thats me..
(most likely means I watch too much mythbusters :P everyones stupid, just people are slightly less stupid then others, some majorly xD)
Princess Crystalsong you can't call someone stupid and use very poor grammar. First of all "you" and "are" contract into "you're". " your" shows ownership. And instead of "then" you mean "than".
A giant marshmallow ghost managed to roast 5 people in the span of 20 seconds...
