When I first saw this battle, I *really* wanted Count Dracula to win, because I knew a lot more about him than Vlad. But Dracula talked WAAAY too much about himself, and didn't attack Vlad almost at all. Vlad hit hard and often, and ended up being the winner.
Vlad the impaler was one of the most interesting people who ever lived. Truly sick and cruel, but at the same time a hero, especially for the Romania !! Must watch or read about him, won’t regret
You're right - a fascinating man. And yet his cousin, Stephen the Great of Moldova, was cannonized by the Orthodox church. Both men had much to do with preventing the muslims from invading Europe.
@@timothymunger3186 I didn't know that they were cousins. I need to read up on the history of that part of the world, but now I get why there is an omnipresence of "stefan cel mare" in Moldova !
@@ben7111Only in this case David has lost. I don't mean to get anyone mad but Vlad was never a match for Mehmed 2. I mean the guy literally conquered Constantinople at the age of 21. Maybe if Vlad rulled during the reign of someone else... Also I would like to point out that Vlad won the throne only because of the Ottoman's help to begin with and than he betrayed them
@@JustSomeSlavicBoy 1v1 Vlad would've won. Also giving Vlad the same number of troops as Mehmet,he would've moped the floor with him.A totally different genius we're talking here
You can't end strong on an "I'm clearly the winner" bar if you aren't clearly winning. Just makes you look weak. If you're losing you use the last bar advantage to murder the other guy and Dracula simply did not.
Actually Dracula was not based on Vlad... they thought this too until they did the research on it. Watch the behind the scenes of this one, bc Dracula is not based off Vlad...
Vlad did nothing that the Turks weren't doing themselves. Vlad just went 10 fold on the impaling and left the corps up longer as a warning to the Turks.
Vlad Dracula, Son of the Dragon. Inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula character. One of the bars no one gets (because its not a very well known thing) is the part about "neck washes". People who were going to be executed had their neck washed, and Vlad didn't really care about such things when he executed anyone, hence the "not very keen on neck washes". Interesting theory: the reason vampires don't have reflections is likely because mirrors back then were backed with silver, a HOLY metal. Nowadays though, vampires would likely have a reflection due to the fact we don't back mirrors with silver anymore
The only problem with that theory (and it's an interesting one, don't get me wrong) is that Silver was never a weakness of Vampires. Silver was always the weakness of Werewolves. Vampire weaknesses were Stakes, Crosses, Garlic, The Sun, and Holy Water.
@@ForeverDegenerate silver was (and still is) used in crosses, but also because vampires can shift their shape and form. All forms of shapeshifters have a weakness to silver due to like, it being pure or some shit I can't remember, but there are mythos of vampires and vampire-like creatures have weakness to silver. Also, vampires are powerless in moving water (rivers and oceans) and can't move over it naturally, so you can also say vampires can be beaten by any body of water bigger than a puddle
@@ForeverDegenerate it is all about purity. silver was known as a pure metal, running water was seen as one of the purest forms, and garlic was known as being purifying. I think the steak is more of a nod to the inspiration vlad the Impaler so only way to kill them by impaling them.
This was one of the best ones that I've seen. You're right it should have a lot more views and rank a lot higher. I wonder if people are just seeing the vampire title and are ignoring it because they are tired of the whole Dracula thing? I also agree that Vlad impaled and skewered Drac. The character perfectly embodied ruthlessness.
Yes, Dracula is based off Vlad…but there’s no comparison. Dracula is a “Twilight” version of Vlad. Dude was a hero to his people and a devil to his enemies. Those impaled often had a sharpened wooden posts forced in through their anus, but stoppers were placed horizontally through the post to prevent it from going deep enough to kill instantly. When emissaries from Islamic Turkey came to visit and refused to remove their turbans, he literally nailed them to their heads and sent them back home. Dracula is the PG version of Vlad.
That was my initial thought too but Vlad Teppes III (aka The Impaler), was a historical figure while Dracula was a fictional character inspired by Vlad.
@@elbryan9 No. Vlad's father was called "Dracul" or "dragon". Vlad was called "Dracula" or "son of the dragon". Hence, "Vlad Dracula". But it's a rap battle, so who cares.
@@mouseshadow5828 I care; but only because I find this stuff interesting. Dracula is what is known as a sobriquet, a descriptive nickname that often becomes more familiar over time than a persons actual name (e.g. Mahatma Gandhi instead of Gandhi's real name: Mohandas). Vlad II received the title, Dracul only after he was appointed to The Order of the Dragon in 1431. In Romanian dialect, words that end with the letter A means "son of" hence, Vlad Drăculea (Dracula), son of the dragon or sometimes, son of the devil; depending on the source. But, sobriquets aside, his real name was Vlad Tepes III.
Not even close. Claiming Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' is the same person as Vlad Tepes of Wallachia is like claiming the Napoleon from _Bill and Ted_ is the real thing, that _Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter_ is a biopic, or that any of the historical figures mentioned/ portrayed in _Gladiator_ lived at the same time, much less knew each other; the only excuse for believing it is _complete_ ignorance of either the story, history or both...
Vlad stomped dracula flat, there was never a doubt of that. I was just curious how you liked the super slow rap speed. Some reactors hated it, some loved it.
The hat-nailer line refers to an incident where three dignitaries came to visit him, but did not remove their hats when entering his hall- a grave insult, he felt. So he had them arrested and nailed their hats to their heads, and I mean a big thick medieval iron nail.
This is the 4th reaction video that thinks Impaler is not a normal English word. Why does no one know of the infamous monster of a man that inspired dracula
Jamel, if i told you how Vlad the impaler got his name you might not want to sit down. to intimidate the Ottoman Turks when they invaded he left them a forest of the impaled as a message.
It was a common practice for Ottomans to do this so he did it back, successfully I may add. He was, in fact, prisoner but, back then, it was common practice to have sons of your enemy as a token of obedience....
Actually, Stoker just knew the nickname which had been changed to mean "Son of the Devil" due to Vlad`s political enemies having ruled Romania and Hungary for centuries by that point , that he was a Romanian Voivode who fought the Turks and didn`t get along with the Transylvanian nobility and nothing else really. Additionally, Vlad was a Vlach, Count Dracula was a Szekler.
Funny thing with me: when I first saw this ERB, I actually had to look up Fogo de Chao. The line hit harder when I realized that I was watching it at their competitor, Tejas de Brazil...
Part of me was disappointed that they didn't do a collab with teamfourstar and have ther version of Alucard from Helsing ultimate come in for a few lines. But I did like that they had a line mentioning how originally sun light did not kill Dracula.
Vlad for the win, easily. IMO one of the most lopsided battles in ERB history. Joker vs Pennywise is another and if memory serves they were released back to back. I actually wonder if that was a deliberate choice - Lloyd's character wipes the floor with Pete's in this one and in JvP it's the opposite.
Message on your shirt really suits the video lol btw. Vlad is one of my favorite history characters, he wouldn't have problem with illegal immigration (lol again)
Vlad the Impaler is one of the most ruthless rulers in history, he got his nickname for taking an entire battalion of enemy soldiers and impaling them up on spikes so the rest of the army could see what happened to them...that army turned around and left
Hey Jamil my name is Michael just started watching your videos lately just wanted to let you know like I've been letting everybody who watches erb now that this is the only rap battle where they were wrong and they lied about something do to do with the characters and where they lied is what they say with Vlad the impaler when he says Vlad Dracula and they try to say he it means spawn of the devil they're lying that is not what that means it means the son of the dragon so they are lying and saying stuff incorrectly on this one just thought you'd like to know
Vlad win, because if it would have keep going, Vlad would have just said dracula is made out of Vlad legend. so basicaly it was a natural nat 20 for Vlad before it started. It was a nice attempt. but a bit weird.

"Did you shape shift those punchlines, because the missed. Your skills are like your reflection, they don't exist" for the win. Vlad Impaled Ya.

Vlad the Impaler was the inspiration for Dracula, he was a real monster doing some truly horrific things
not sure.
Vlad the impaler was villefied alot , but there was a time he was also preview as a savior and hero.
Really, what exacly did he do, appart defend his country the way it had to be defended back then
only if you weren't the one who he was defending.

Vlad did to movie Dracula what he did to everyone threatening his home.
My favorite part is when Dracula says he is Universally known. It's just such an amazingly clever line.
Vlad's delivery was better and had more hard-hitting bars.
It also always feels unfair pitting a real historical person against a fictionalization.
Vlad is the definition of how history is much scarier and more frightening than the fiction.
Dracula had some of the most clever lines of the series, but Vlad was Brutal. I loved Shaqula, and the Castlevania reference over the end credits.
Yes! I would love to find a rapper who raps like that cuz it made the scary bars that more intense. Vlad killed this one!
Vlad won, but I like how Dracula's opening line is a reference to the Count from Sesame Street.
Impaler, pronounced "em-PAY-ler" means to stab deeply into someone, like impaling someone on your sword.
Though Vlad had his own... let's say "special" method.
Vlad was a hero in real life & saved Romania from Ottoman Turks & probably aided in saving all of Europe
A hero only in Romanian eyes. Definitely a "Villian saved the day" moment. But regardless, the man's name is seared into history one way or another.
@@CrowbornChaos Hollywood hasn't helped his memory much except to tarnish it & make him infamous
Look forward to all of these! ERB keeps teasing a new one is coming!

@@elbryan9 My only point is that Vlad The Impaler was also known as Vlad Dracula but by all means, keep arguing nothing.
Nice Peter does such a good Dracula impression.
I felt his impression is based on Christopher Lee's Dracula
Im-PAIL-er
meaning one who impaled someone which is to pierce with a sharp instrument, usually a large stake people died on.
for the record I've always said Vlad won that one
I'm really glad I'm not the only one who can appreciate good wordsmithing.
"I rock the house... once I'm invited into it." is my favorite line.
I'm upset that Count Chocula didn't come in and clean house. But, Vlad dished out the canage asada.
"Breadstickssss" 🤣🤣🤣

Oh no contest. Vlad nailed Dracula.
Ah , time to watch my favorite vampire movie , The Fearless Vampire Killers 1967.

Hey, Jamel! Hope you have an awesome week.
Please react to: Belle vs Cinderella -Thanks!!!
Nice reaction but awesome sweater. Great message where u get it?

Ol’ Vlad nailed , or should I say impaled this one!
Brilliant.
Impaler like when you impale someone heads on a pike
But Vlad impaled whole bodies...Usually through the stomach or rectum. Think about that for a moment.
Because I also love Fogo de Chao, I'm giving this to Vlad. Turn my card up to green!
