Oh wow... someone in one of the comments suggested Walter White vs Bill Nye.
I can't believe it only had 1 vote. That is an amazing idea

Huh, I thought Miley vs Joan was actually pretty good.The two actresses had great energy, much better then the anemic Cleopatra vs. Monroe (I think?)

That one was fantastic. The beat and production were pretty poor, but the lyrics were among the best.
Bob Ross was a Military Training Instructor (MTI). He's the guy (not literally me, I went decades after) that would yell and scream at us at basic for being dipshit fuckwad stupidfaces.
It's youtube haters don't vote ideas they wish they had in the first place.
The last one really makes up for vader and some the last few stinkers, though I did like blackbeard vs capone.

I love this idea.
Unfortunately, we'll probably get Walter White VS Scarface at some point instead, although I'd much prefer a battle of science.
It's hard to picture Bob Ross as Gunnery Sgt. Hartman.

Holy crap I'd have to call that a tie. Jordan and Ali both had fire.

Hot damn.
Key and Peele - best guest duo for ERB confirmed.

They are the truth
Key & Peele were great in Gandhi vs. Martin Luther King Jr., which in my opinion is one of the most underrated battles so far. Glad to see them back. This was another good one.

The production quality is a lot better in the MJ v MA battle than I remember it being for others.
Good one tho. Space Jam is fantastic so i dunno where that line came from

The Trump part sucks but the Scrooge part is the best ERB in a while haha.
Wasn't expecting that "cameo" lol
Indeed.

Rap spoiler follows:
Ghost of Christmas Future killed it. Didn't notice until the second watch that Trump was playing the Jacob Marley role.

I would pay to see Eminem play Vanilla Ice in one of these things.

Space Jam didn't suck. Worst rap battle ever.

I'll probably be in the smaller crowd here, but I actually thought this was their worst battle yet. The video and production itself was great, but this wasn't an actual rap battle in the slightest. Trump's section was fine, but Scrooge hardly even addressed Trump; he just told his Christmas story and sang with some arbitrary cameos...lol.
Ah well. Was still entertaining, just won't be revisited on my end.
Favorite to date is Einstein vs. Hawking. Beethoven and Bieber is also great.
holy shit that would be awesome
Man, this season has been pretty disappointing. Every week I keep waiting for them to drop bombs, and every week is kind of a let-down. How do you waste Key and Peele who had one of the best rap battles last season? While I appreciate the concept of the Christmas episode, the execution was still too scattershot and weak.
Did somebody critical to the team leave after last season? This season seems pretty different.

They are on a mid season break. They haven't announced when season 3 will resume yet. I just follow them on twitter to keep up to date with them.

I thought that too at first but after I went back and watched all of the rap battles and I don't think this season was really bad. They have actually improved.
