Epic Rap Battles of History (Season Five)

Probably an lesser ERB, but I'm just glad to see them back. The whole Hitler vs. Vader thing is a bit played out, but Vader did kill it on the "fired up" verse. Plus the ROTJ parody elements and Boba Fett's five second appearance were hilarious. Can't wait for the rest of season three!

On the topic of favorites, I go back and forth between Einstein vs. Hawking and Bieber vs. Beethoven (which were the first two I saw, incidentally), but the season two finale has to come after those two. Also, I've always found the Gandhi vs. MLK battle to be really underrated.

Vader could have stopped after the "fired up" segment. Everything after that was just icing on the cake. He destroyed hitler.
 
The AC4 tie-in felt kinda off, but this was definitely better than Hitler vs Vader 3 (which was still good). It's great to have ERB back.
 
Yeah, same. And it pains me to say, but I think Miley's rimes were better than Joan's. It should have been the other way around.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of folks say that this one seems pretty weak, and I think its because everyone was hoping Joan would annihilate Miley.
 
Ever since midway through season two they've all been downhill. Last good one was Romney vs obama. How sad to see them this way.

Sorry, although I think that Season 3 has been weak, the back half of season 2 had some amazing Battles...
Babe Ruth vs Lance Armstrong
Rasputin vs Stalin
Moses vs Santa
Bruce Lee vs Clint Eastwood

I'd put all of them over Romney v Obama
 
Yeah, that Miley V. Joan one wasn't too great. Luckily I hadn't seen Al Capone v. Blackbeard yet, so I got to enjoy that awesomeness to make up for it.
 
That Miley Vs. Joan one was not great. The rhymes were kind of labored and the punchlines were weak. The best all-female ERB is still Cleopatra Vs. Marilyn Monroe by far.

Capone Vs. Blackbeard was awesome, so I'm still really excited about this season.
 
Not the best, but certainly enjoyable. Getting Picasso's full name in there was awesome, and loved Ross' "blue period" line. Just wish they had done more with Ross ripping on Picasso's cubist style.
 
Best one of the series, yet. But still the worst series. I love seeing them put in a lot of stuff that actually relates to the characters. I think one of the reasons why the Einstein V. Hawking one was so good was because every line had a really good physics based joke, rather than just lame attacks about this or that.
 
I think Ross won this one. I agree with the sentiment that this season has been uneven (I thought that Hitler vs Vader was kind of weak and Miley vs Joan pretty bad) but there still is a lot ahead of us. Capone vs Blackbeard was great and this battle was good so I'm looking forward to what is next.
