Bro that scene was fucking crazy. My friend was reading that book on the bus and when he got to that part he handed it to me and told me to read it. We then showed all our friends. 🤣
Hands down the most savage line for me. The first time I had to take a break. Too bad he missed the Mark Hamill and few other lines. Totally understand his choice based on the bars he got.
If you’re going to keep doing these Stevie then I suggest you go through their titles and pick out names of people you think you’d know about so you can catch the bars!
Stephen King didn't get in no trouble! He's referencing an absolutely ridiculous part of the IT story where the young teen characters run a train on the young female character. Now that I've typed it out, maybe he should've got in trouble. Just wanted to clear King's name that he didn't get it that kind of trouble though.
For people who know the history of these characters and their creators this is by far the Best battle. Both had so many clever, savage hard bars. Not to mention the production on Pennywise was next level.
The bars on this one go so deep, man. The "go Mark Ham with ill zingers" line refers to Mark Hamill, famously known as Luke Skywalker from Star Wars, but who later voiced the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series. And the "Bob Kane stole from Bill Finger" line is an ooooold reference all the way back to the beginning of Batman. Basically, Bill Finger created everything that made Batman memorable, and Bob Kane took all the credit despite only creating the very basic concept of a bat-based vigilante comic book hero. Bill Finger created everything else, but got no credit for it and couldn't get the credit because Bob Kane had lawyers in his pocket.
And yup. Steven King was so high on cocaine he says he doesn't remember writing most of "IT". And in his coked up haze, he wrote a scene where the kids have a gangbang.
"Cask of Amontillado" was an Edgar Allen Poe short story that basically ends in one guy getting another guy drunk, chaining him to a wall in some catacombs, and sealing the catacombs up to leave him to die.
@@ms_scribbles Which itself is a recursive reference to another ERB, Edgar Allen Poe vs Steven King. It's a very oblique reference because you have to realize it's a King character (Pennywise) delivering a bar using a Poe story (The Cask of Amontillado) to the Joker (Poe's bar of "I'll choke this *joker* with a trochee...") in the trochee style.
This erb was probably the single densest battle with references they ever produced. Everything is a reference. EVERYTHING. Some of it is double meanings as well as references.
ERB is so good that the more you listen to it the more bars you find. That's when you know it's good, when it ages well and you can listen to it again and find new stuff. Quality.
@@marcusmaire8197 Joker had really good punches, but imo the amount of depth in Pennywise’s lines is second to none, and is probably the best “performance” done by any ERB character.
@@marcusmaire8197 sorry Marcus but that heath ledger line alone was enough to make joker emotional let alone other references...."u wanna kill a batman , eat him when he's a boy" , John doe in my deadlight and many more..I believe this is the most debatable battle erb ever had...either one can have w..gotta agree that "Robin /drop bar and joker just killed IT" was fire fire 🔥🔥
I love that you're watching these. I highly recommend that you research the characters in the ERBs, that way most of the things they say won't go over your head and you can enjoy it to the fullest and truly appreciate just how much work goes into these.
The Cesar Romero line a lot of people don't get. He was the first actor to portray the Joker live, but he refused to shave his mustache, so you can see they just caked on the white makeup to try and hide it
ERB is great. Their music sounds good even if you don't appreciate meaning behind the bars. Reading the comments on their videos has clued me into so many references I didn't get enjoying them the first time. Would definitely like seeing more reactions from their channel.
Regarding the "A lot more PG and a lot less 13" line: In the novel IT, the ... ahem ... climax of the story occurs when the Losers Club ... conquers their fears? I guess? By all running a train on the one girl in the group... they were middle schoolers. It's extremely uncomfortable, and has been a serious source of criticism for King ever since.
just like he did you mean?... the turtle one is a pretty deep tho, wouldn't blame anyone for not really catching but when you struggle with "It's like cocain, you know what I said" ... it's bad dude..
when you know the references and shit they become absolutely genius. They are def bars and they have some absolute BANGERS for beats most of the time. that's EPIC Lloyd as Pennywise, him and Nice Peter are the creators of ERB... He kills it as Hannibal Lector too and the beat on that battle is insane
I'm glad you caught the Shining Man reference! But it gets extra points because Jack Nicholson from the Shining also played Joker in the first Batman movie! Loving these SK! I'm excited to see you do more!
Yessss another ERB reaction! 😃👌🏼 They worked hard to make this one. incredible. So many bars in this one its insane. Awesome man! 💯 You catched it! Imma comic n movie nerd, im impressed by you. I love watching you react to them Stevie, you are phenomenal!👌🏼🇳🇴
The most ambitious track they've ever done that hit super hard was "Jack the Ripper vs Hannibal Lecter." The back and fourth? The rhyme schemes? The Cadences? Absolutely insane. There are some tough contenders for the best ERB raps out there, but this is my best suggestion. Hope you enjoy!
Yo should definitely keep on doing these, even if you have little to no knowledge about the particular characters or media that they represent. I've watched a lot of these and all of them have really creative, deep bars and they cover a wide range of media's(real world, film, animation, videogames), looking forward to your next reaction
Wooooow I didn't expect this lol ERB has SO many battles that are legit fire man glad you're dabbling into them. By the way, at 8:53, the Tim Scurry line was a reference to Tim Curry, who played IT in the miniseries in 1990. The very next line when he says 'ask robin if I drop bars' is a reference to when Joker beat the fuck out of Robin with a crowbar. Then the very next line, when he says 'I take smiles and I leave scars. Guards in Arkham...' was a play on the actor who played the most recent iteration of the clown, Bill Skarsgard. This is a tough battle to react to if you aren't familiar with comics and Stephen King.
You should consider having genius up just so you can check the meaning of certain bars that you dont understand, or just do battles where you know a lot about the characters involved. There is actually an incredible amount of bars in these battles and most of them require a certain amount of knowledge about those involved.
I definitely suggest going through the list of ERBs and pick things you know about, or look into a quick look into who they are. They go into some really vague references for the fictional characters
There is a lot of word play in this one. There is a line where Joker says, "Ask Robin if I drop bars". This is because, in the comic, Joker kills Robin with a crowbar. "I leave scars. Guards in Arkham will admit that the Joker just killed IT". You'll notice when he says "scars. Guards in Arkham...". The name of the actor that played IT in the latest movies is Bill Scarsgard. This is for sure one of my favorite's from them. Also, the guy who plays IT here is Epic Lloyd. He was featured in Scru's Worldwide Cypher after they spoke following Scru's reactions to all of these ERB episodes. Love the reaction! I'll keep tuning in to these for sure.
A lot of people overlook the "im a shining man" line. Yes it's an obvious jab at him liking the shining more than IT but it goes deeper. Jack Nicholson was the Joker in the 1989 movie but also was the Father, Jack Torrance, in the 1980 movie The Shining. So joker is referring to that as well in that bar saying he plays favorites and prefers the Shining over It since Jack played both characters.
The gangbang reference refers to a scene in the book that was adapted into the newer version of IT films which had the Loser's Club huddled so close together they eventually end up screwing each other in the sewers
Some you'll get, and some you won't. Some battles if you don't know the characters you just won't get the references, but it's still a fun battle to watch and listen to, you can usually catch the surface level bars and in between if nothing else with those.
Looking forward for you to react to more of these, there's a lot of cameo's from other rappers and known internet and TV characters, Watsky beeing one of them (that boy can "spit spit". Also Epic Lloyd have a series called dis raps for hire, where random followers complain about someone or something and Lloyd proceeds to destroy them, nice wordplay and flows on those. Keep up the great work king, cheers from Portugal!
The 99 Red Balloons line is sneakily savage. The song 99 red balloons substituted the red balloons for the threat of nuclear war, so Pennywise is telling Joker that if he starts it with him, it'll be nuclear war. Not to mention the Scars Guards line. Bill Skarsgard is the actor that played It in the reboot.
"Tell your author, for his next gangbang scene, add a little more PG and a lot less 13" In the novel version of IT the losers club, who are all young kids, have to have a gangbang to get power from a cosmic turtle to defeat Pennywise. This als ties in to the earlier line "You lost to a turtle that wasn't even a ninja", because Pennywise had that Cosmic Turtle as his arch-nemesis.
"I go Mark Ham with Ill zingers!" Mark Hamill voiced the Joker for the DCAU, one of the most iconic versions of the character. Bob Kane and Bill Finger were the two people who created Batman.
Hey bro. ERB. Shaka Zulu vs Julius Cesar. Also. Pennywise was defeated by a cosmic turtle entity. When I flow I go mark ham with Ill ziger. Mark Hamell voices the Joker in the animated series. Bob Kane took credit for Batman for decades but Bill Figer or whatever helped and finally got credit
So I'm a year late, but the Gangbang thing was for the Ritual of Chüd which is how Pennywise is ultimately defeated in the book because it summons a big ass turtle which ties into an earlier line "you lost to a turtle that wasn't even a ninja" which is a nice little reference to TMNT. But the book is still good apart from that.
Respectfully, if you understood the references, you’d know that Joker dog walked this clown. I will admit that the Heath Ledger line nearly floored me though.
So "the shining man" wink reference refers to, Steven King wrote The Shining, Jack Nicholson was the main character in The Shining and Jack Nicholson also played the Joker in Batman
The Mark Ham line is in reference to Mark Hamill who Voiced the Joker in one of the cartoon series and just recently in the video games, He's also the original Luke Skywalker, the man has such diversity as an actor...a true legend
Solid reaction, my dood! For your reference: Mark Hamill voiced the Joker in the original animated series and several animated movies and video games. Bob Kane and Bill Finger both created Batman together but Bob Kane took the credit for all of it. Stephen King was on a lot of coke in the 80's, and the book IT did have a scene near the end wherin the kids had sex as a blood magicky kind of thing; it was unsettling to say the least.
The "Bob Kane stole from Bill Finger" line is a reference to the creators of Batman. Bob Kane technically created the idea of Batman and for the longest time was the only credited creator in any batman property. However Bill Finger, his co-writer came up with pretty much everything we know about Batman today (Robin, the costume, his origin story, and much more). Recently Bill Fingers estate was able to get Bill Finger credited on all Batman properties going forward after a lawsuit. A similar thing happened at Marvel with Stan Lee and Jack Kirby
“I take smiles and I leave scars / Guard in Arkham will admit” Joker ended 1 line with “scars” and started the next one with “guard” the name of the actor that played IT was Bill Skarsgård.
"When I flow, I go Mark Ham with ill zingers", Mark Hamill (luke skywalker from star wars), the voice of joker from the 90s batman cartoon series. "I steal the show like Bob Kane stole from Bill Finger", Bob Kane and Bill Finger were the original creators of the Batman comics, but no one can really agree on who stole from who (They both screwed each other over when the batman comics became big.)
The shining reference the joker made was for Jack Nicholson... who starred in Stephen kings the shining and also play the joker in the first batman movie
It's best to watch ERB of battles where you can relate to or know something about the characters. Try Michael Jordan vs. Muhammed Ali. It's an older one, but one of my favorites.
The Joker won. “Ask Robin if I drop bars”. That’s the coldest bar in this. Plus Pennywise ran the lines of cask of montenado or whatever. Don’t remember what that’s to. So it a deduction. Lol
“Ask Robin if I drop bars” Joker killed robin with a crowbar, beat him to death and left him in an open grave. “I’m Montessor, about to make you my Fortunado, I’ll seal you up like the Cask of Amontillado” Montressor buries Fortunado behind a wall of rock underneath Italy I believe, in an old book. “You’re a John Doe in my Deadlights” Deadlights not headlights, he’s saying he’ll leave him unrecognizable cuz John Doe’s are unknown. “Tell your author for your next gangbang scene, to use a lot more PG, and a lot less 13” In the book version of IT, to prep fighting for Pennywise, the Losers club had a gangbang scene (lord knows why). Keep up the ERB REACTIONS!!! I recommend the Hitler vs Vader trilogy, they’re iconic. Appreciate the hard work Stevie!!!
Genius has the meaning behind all these bars in case you need it. For the PG-13 bar they're talking about Stephen King's book IT - "The original IT novel includes an infamous scene wherein the initial, prepubescent members of the Losers Club all have sex with its sole female member, Beverly, as a way to strengthen their bond and confidence with one another."
"Ask Robin if I drop bars" (Joker killed one of the Robin's with a crowbar) "I take smiles and I leave scars, guards (Skarsgard is the last name of the last person to play Pennywise) at Arkham will admit (Arkham is an insane asylum that you get admitted to) that the Joker just killed It! (Obviously a reference to the book/movie "It" that Pennywise comes from, but the shot of him holding a camera is from one of the most famous Joker comics ever, "The Killing Joke", so he's not just saying he killed Pennywise, he's also calling him nothing but a Joke.)
I think that the "I take smiles and i leave scars" is a reference to the dark knight. "You wanna know how i got these scars?" "Let's put a smile on that face!"
I'm sure he looked it up but in the video he stopped his google search so. The "gang bang" scene joker mentioned was something that was in the original iT book. The boys ran a train on Bev to make their connection to each other stronger in order to not fall to fear. Or some shit like that, don't remember the WHY I just remember they ran a train on Beverly in the book.
Steven King wrote a kid gange bang sence into the it book that's what he met by those lines. Not that king had them. Love the reaction keep it up.
I remember reading it for the first time at 13 and thinking if I knew any girls like that 😂😂😂
Agreed @Lang McKnight
Bro that scene was fucking crazy. My friend was reading that book on the bus and when he got to that part he handed it to me and told me to read it. We then showed all our friends. 🤣

And there's also word play with Crow/crowbar and Robin - both birds.
To add to that, I believe Joker killed Robin with a crowbar in the comics at one point.
@@Whitesquall123 i don't think he said crowbar tho il
@@kollincarpenter4909 but the implication was there. The bar he dropped on Robin was a crowbar. I know... it's a reach.
If you’re going to keep doing these Stevie then I suggest you go through their titles and pick out names of people you think you’d know about so you can catch the bars!
Facts!
@@dodgers4life31 yup, big facts!
chill guy
please do this Stevie!
Yep, if he goes for random ones he'll miss 90% of references. My suggestion would be to start with Martin Luther vs Ghandi, Jordan VS Ali
Stephen King didn't get in no trouble! He's referencing an absolutely ridiculous part of the IT story where the young teen characters run a train on the young female character. Now that I've typed it out, maybe he should've got in trouble. Just wanted to clear King's name that he didn't get it that kind of trouble though.
cocaine is a hell of a drug
He did have a hell of a drug habit, though.
well the “reason” for it is so they always remember and never forget. since they’re all virgins they’ll never forget. it is weird tho ngl
He's disgusting anyway.
8:55 Joker said “I take smiles and I leave *SCARS, GUARDS* at Arkaham .” The actors who plays Pennywise's name is Bill Skarsgard (scars guard)
Damn that's a bar

First one I ever watched (YEARS AGO) got me hooked.
Santa Claus VS Moses (Snoop Dogg).
F'ing hilarious!

Honestly, my favorite line was "I'm a shining man wink". I really like Jack Nicholson.
The gangbang reference refers to a scene in the book that was adapted into the newer version of IT films which had the Loser's Club huddled so close together they eventually end up screwing each other in the sewers
This in one of their most bar heavy ones. There is so much stuff there for comic / film nerds it is insane.
Some you'll get, and some you won't. Some battles if you don't know the characters you just won't get the references, but it's still a fun battle to watch and listen to, you can usually catch the surface level bars and in between if nothing else with those.
That face before you said that was a bar bro smh I needed that laugh today

The 99 Red Balloons line is sneakily savage. The song 99 red balloons substituted the red balloons for the threat of nuclear war, so Pennywise is telling Joker that if he starts it with him, it'll be nuclear war.
Not to mention the Scars Guards line. Bill Skarsgard is the actor that played It in the reboot.
This is the most intricate battle that they have made.
"Tell your author, for his next gangbang scene, add a little more PG and a lot less 13" In the novel version of IT the losers club, who are all young kids, have to have a gangbang to get power from a cosmic turtle to defeat Pennywise. This als ties in to the earlier line "You lost to a turtle that wasn't even a ninja", because Pennywise had that Cosmic Turtle as his arch-nemesis.
"I go Mark Ham with Ill zingers!" Mark Hamill voiced the Joker for the DCAU, one of the most iconic versions of the character. Bob Kane and Bill Finger were the two people who created Batman.

Nobody is mentioning "the Man Who Laughs" bar! The Man Who Laughs is the 1928 film that was part of the inspiration for the look of the Joker
“I take smiles and I leave scars /
Guard in Arkham will admit”
Joker ended 1 line with “scars” and started the next one with “guard” the name of the actor that played IT was Bill Skarsgård.
Mark Hamill voiced the Joker in Batman the Animated Series. Mark Ham with "Ill" zingers. Bill Finger was also the actual creator of Batman.
The Bill Finger one is what got me
Can’t wait for you to hit 500k subs!!
Came a long way brother. 💪

"When I flow, I go Mark Ham with ill zingers", Mark Hamill (luke skywalker from star wars), the voice of joker from the 90s batman cartoon series. "I steal the show like Bob Kane stole from Bill Finger", Bob Kane and Bill Finger were the original creators of the Batman comics, but no one can really agree on who stole from who (They both screwed each other over when the batman comics became big.)
“I go mark ham” mark hamil famously voices the joker lol
I'm surprised no one else commented about this bar.
The shining reference the joker made was for Jack Nicholson... who starred in Stephen kings the shining and also play the joker in the first batman movie
You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight? It’s what the joker asked when played by jack nickelson.
Yo Stevie I don’t think anyone would be mad if you kept Rap Genius on standby for a lot of these, we just love the reactions
Oppenheimer vs Thanos is a great one especially oppenheimers part
It's best to watch ERB of battles where you can relate to or know something about the characters. Try Michael Jordan vs. Muhammed Ali. It's an older one, but one of my favorites.
The Joker won. “Ask Robin if I drop bars”. That’s the coldest bar in this.
Plus Pennywise ran the lines of cask of montenado or whatever. Don’t remember what that’s to. So it a deduction. Lol
There's no fillers in ERB. Every line is a bar.
ERB is ruthless. Nothing is off limits when dissing the opponent.
“Ask Robin if I drop bars” Joker killed robin with a crowbar, beat him to death and left him in an open grave. “I’m Montessor, about to make you my Fortunado, I’ll seal you up like the Cask of Amontillado” Montressor buries Fortunado behind a wall of rock underneath Italy I believe, in an old book. “You’re a John Doe in my Deadlights” Deadlights not headlights, he’s saying he’ll leave him unrecognizable cuz John Doe’s are unknown. “Tell your author for your next gangbang scene, to use a lot more PG, and a lot less 13” In the book version of IT, to prep fighting for Pennywise, the Losers club had a gangbang scene (lord knows why). Keep up the ERB REACTIONS!!! I recommend the Hitler vs Vader trilogy, they’re iconic. Appreciate the hard work Stevie!!!
Also, another flip, John doe in my Deadlights, deer in headlights, etc
Mark Hamiell aka Luke Skywalker voices the cartoon version of the joker
Genius has the meaning behind all these bars in case you need it. For the PG-13 bar they're talking about Stephen King's book IT - "The original IT novel includes an infamous scene wherein the initial, prepubescent members of the Losers Club all have sex with its sole female member, Beverly, as a way to strengthen their bond and confidence with one another."
"Ask Robin if I drop bars" (Joker killed one of the Robin's with a crowbar) "I take smiles and I leave scars, guards (Skarsgard is the last name of the last person to play Pennywise) at Arkham will admit (Arkham is an insane asylum that you get admitted to) that the Joker just killed It! (Obviously a reference to the book/movie "It" that Pennywise comes from, but the shot of him holding a camera is from one of the most famous Joker comics ever, "The Killing Joke", so he's not just saying he killed Pennywise, he's also calling him nothing but a Joke.)
I think that the "I take smiles and i leave scars" is a reference to the dark knight. "You wanna know how i got these scars?" "Let's put a smile on that face!"
Steven King rabbit holes goes deep... take a dive.
LOVE ERB!
I think you'll love half of ERB's stuff, Steve. Would love to see some of your reactions to them!
I'm sure he looked it up but in the video he stopped his google search so. The "gang bang" scene joker mentioned was something that was in the original iT book. The boys ran a train on Bev to make their connection to each other stronger in order to not fall to fear. Or some shit like that, don't remember the WHY I just remember they ran a train on Beverly in the book.
You caught about 10% of the references. There's a bar in every line on both sides, the Nerds caught them
Adolf Hitler V Darth Vader had 3 ONES, because of how many people loved the first one. Do that one pliiiz
