ELDERS REACT #37 - Epic Rap Battles of History 
Развлечения
The one in the suit is ironically the fun one.
He makes me want to laugh every time he laughs
He always make me laugh X)
ya
His name is rock. Learn the fucken name
Tony Beltran And THAT was completely called for.
"I don't think it requires much thought"
Oh lord, I can't think of a show demanding *more* thought if you wanna catch all the references and philosophy in the ERB library.
Dude ERB is a terrible way to learn history. You'll just know a few fun facts but you won't have a deep understanding of anything. That requires much more. ERB is an entertainment source and little else.
@@howedaddy6122 That's not what he said. He said that you NEED a deep understanding of history to catch most of the references and stuff in ERB videos. and it's true.
@@johnjackson9819 I suppose you need a good understanding of history but nothing great. It still doesn't require any thinking. You get the reference or not and that's about it
@brownacs 1 There are many deep ERB that go beyond surface knowledge. Stuff like "You're a John doe in my deadlights" or even "you're an Ump Che, That's bay of pigs Latin".
@@howedaddy6122 Considering how unique their catalogue is, you need atleast above average knowledge in History, Comics, movies, sports, Current events, mythology and Music. Even the best and most knowledgeable reactors on youtube miss atleast a few bars.
"I don't think it requires much thought" Screams into the distance as a writer and understanding the amount of work it takes to make those lyrics and also doing the research to make good punchlines
It hurt my soul lol i seen the behind the scenes and they work their ass off to bring everything together plus the funding.
They truly are amazing at what they do and it isnt an easy task. There is so much skill that goes into many things that people think its "easy".
Screams as EpicLloyd and NicePeter who literally spend months developing these
I think he means that it doesn't take much thought to digest the lyrics which is true since 90% of the references go over peoples heads
The reason he thinks that is that he doesn't get any of the references lol. So obviously he thinks it's just gibberish.
When you don't know the facts the line is referencing you don't even realise that there's a reference to get to begin with.
Either that or he's just not paying attention to the lyrics just because it's rap.
I think ERB lyrics are super clever and multi-layered. There's always stuff that you miss even after multiple rewatches.
It doesn’t require much thought *to watch*, is what he meant.
i want a second part. same elders. different ERB rap XD
Rat-Phink - damn 6.5k likes and only 1 comment. Times were different back

@Rat-Phink - yeah
Good times when comments weren’t flooded with cheap overused memes and jokes.
@@nineten9011 you want expensive memes?
Zelix not necessarily, but anything better than “first”, or “yes replies to exaggeration”
1:30 "They're just both losers! Disgusting!"
2:35 "Nobody won anything there!"
3:43 "Darth had to win that one..."
Lol
Bruh
perfect comment, he was starting to get it
This dude sucks
@@yaro42 Just because he didn't have the same viewpoint as you? What's the point of this channel that brings people together from all backgrounds if they can't speak their mind? For all we know, this guy has been through so much war and hardship he couldn't care less about a rap battle. Try to see it from his perspective
I love the one guy who thinks he's too smart for ERB. All the suggestions to "clean up" the lyrics are also so hilarious.
Don't thank me bruh.
Kids... assuming.
Eh I agree but he's old fashioned and wrote it off because of swearing and because it's rap. My mom said it just sounded like noise and my dad didn't have much opinion of the ones I showed them. Though he did find some parts funny. ERB is very clever and even more so in subtle ways. Though if you pay attention to the words, there's a lot of truth in them.
@@loudmein6591 you a kid yes
Yoruichi san?
"You know, I never thought about it that way, but yeah, put it in the schools immediately." That woman gets it.
Also, "It doesn't require much thought"? Maybe because he didn't put enough thought into it. These battles are uncanny with how factually accurate they are, and weaving those facts into a cohesive structure as sound as these videos are takes tremendous amounts of thought.
Hi
Holgie best, she's the skinny-ish blond btw
Rock is also funny!
Jeesh
It's ironic when people who say ERB "doesn't require much thought" because they basically admitted that they don't have the thought process to understand these lines. Even the simple ones have double meanings. And especially the newer ones have clever lines
I love the contrast at 3:14

Guy #2: *Dies Laughing*

My old history teacher is OBSESSED with ERB. Who can blame him? It's history delivered through rap!!! Even the Elders seemed to be digging it!!! #YouReact
Facts
My 7th grade history teacher did a project once when we did an ERB battle on different colony regions, it was fun~
@@lina-_-1395 bro, that sounds like the best thing to happen in a shool
it gives you no historical insight whatsoever
lmfao "I don't think it requires much thought" as he completely misses the point, and doesn't even get that its completely satire.
The interviewer asked him something among the lines of 'Why do you think it is so popular?' and he answered 'I don't think it requires much thought'.
So to me it remains ambiguous if he meant 'I don't think this series needs to be thought about' or 'I don't think it is hard to figure out why it is so popular'.
@@vitoriasousa6298 i took it as the latter but maybe not
That guy isn't that bright. He's been stuck up his own ass for so long he can no longer tell the difference between his own shit and reality.
@@vitoriasousa6298 I always thought he meant that you can just listen to it without thinking too hard. It's not like Lord of the Rings where there's a bunch of shit to keep track of. It's like a sitcom. There may be some amazing writing (Though with sitcoms that is debatable) but you can just put on an ERB song and bop to it.
Dissing an old man is crazy.
4:43 this old guy needs to learn the concept of 'fun'
Yes
Also I'd love to see him make something like this, since it takes "No Thought" and all lol
Well... Uhm.... they're old.
It’s not even that. All of their lyrics are historically accurate and super clever. It’s not just entertainment, it’s intelligent
He had fun once and it was awful
Love that really cheery old guy (one in the suit). He always sees both sides!
Right hes awesome
That Smiffy picture is just too good xD
Rock
Why cant he be ma granda?!? :)
I think he was the father of one of the directors
“It rhymes! Which seems to be more effective and more important to the young generation than actually making sense.” Bro step off the lyrics are thought out and genuinely amazing
a real boomer moment
@@skeletonwar4445 That’s not a boomer, he’s older than that generation.

''No Gandhi wasn't like that.'' How would you know, you don't even know how to spell his name, he kinda said Genji wtf
Cartina Stro Correction: He said Ganji
Roasting an old dude online. Nice one
Rayan Yusoff not roasting but spitting facts
@@ALECCHINJOEYI yeah
I lost my shit when he said Ganji bro lmao
I can't believe these guys are saying this are not accurate information. They even had a couple of videos explaining the coming up with these raps with data.
And if you check the lyrics' meaning at the wikia, 90% of the lyrics are references from the characters itself, what happened around them or what they have done.
Many might not notice, but there are a lot of brief historical lessons to learn in the rap battles. That is probably why I love them the most.
NeinTails95NL Yes! One would really appreciate and get the rap lyrics if they know about the characters.
RUclipsRS REACT TO THEIR FIRST VIDEOS
If this was released in 2020, everyone would say ok boomer.
Lmao
Half of these people do act 2020 boomers
Personally they were very unboomer like except Richard that one comment about “have you ever gone to a library” put him a little on edge though but he’s still a good guy
Ok boomer

Underrated comment
4:43 "I don't think it requires much thought." Elderly ignorance at its finest...just because it goes against what they are used to, it's no good. Can you imagine the work that went into all of these battles? The research, the writing, the editing, etc. I imagine it took quite a lot of thought.
I think he meant the reason it's such a popular series is because watching it doesn't require much thought.
I would still disagree. There are many videos that contain a lot of subtleties that are not easily understood by the average viewer without further research, (if they even caught the reference in the first place). My favorites: Rasputin vs. Stalin (vs. Lenin vs. Gorbachev vs. Putin), Tesla vs Edison and Blackbeard vs. Capone.
That's true, I've had to watch all the videos a couple of times to catch all the little details.
***** It takes more than 2 weeks to make them, they just publish them every two weeks...
EXACTLY! They take real facts and legends from history, present them in a rhythm with a rhyme, and use the facts in clever ways such as word play but that takes no thought because it's rap? Come on dude, open your mind

I'm sorry, but richard got on my nerves when he discredited this, it says some very true things that no one of the generation and probably his, never knew, like how Tesla got ripped off by edison who was basically a con artist and many others.
how does this have no replies

Edit: its the bald white granpa with the glasses. Also, yah, throughout the vid I was saying "ok boomer"
that’s just not true
@@teo2157 Look it up, basic research
It's almost like someone took all of my Mom's friends from before she retired and gave them a RUclips show. It's brilliant.
Literally everyone in this video deserves a show of their own, I'm convinced. They're all funny, they all have clear opinions, and just hearing them voice themselves is great.
I'm demanding spin-offs. These seniors are too funny to not get their own shows.

4:06 Classifying these historical figures so broadly as "Good guys" and "bad guys" is such a narrow and incomplete way to look at history.
exactly
I think he was referring to their common portrayals in media and education
After all, everyone is the good guy in their eyes. It has more to do with how the majority classifies them.
Wow smart guy but who cares
I know this is an old coment, but I just wanted to thank you for pointing that out. He is being quite closed-minded if he really thinks that way.
I've seen this video many times now but I didn't noticed his comment at all until now. I'm glad I found your comment.
That one guy who kept dissing ERB, wow, it's not supposed to be educational, and taking nice guys and having them battle doesn't soil their name or anything does it? Like seriously, chill out.

Rock has got to be my favorite. Such a nice guy, always laughing. He seems like an awesome grandpa.
Honestly I think it's so wholesome some of them actually appreciate ERB
Look it's me!
ERB takes well-known figures from pop-culture and history and adds rap-battles, which mix bits we know and bits we don't about these guys and it's fun.
Plus there's the epic attention to details and costumes, which I love.
Do they not know Scottishmen are stereotyped to curse a lot? That's why Wallace cursed so much.
It's Absolutely NOT a Stereotype, hell even their Women are MORE as Sailor-Tonuged as their Male counterparts

***** well done you've got the last comment
why does the americans love george washingon so mutch. alright he was the first president. but i think you are taking it to far when you are saying that Washington always wins!
Probably because he was one of the primary founding fathers of our country.
He didn't win everything tho
Aaaaand? Of course he didn't, but Hey, he was still very smart, and as stated... help found our country!
DJ Moon Knight No, but he won lots of major battles when he was vastly outnumbered. Granted, he did so with really dirty tactics, like attacking on Christmas, but you know, he did what he needed to.
Who helped found my country, deal with it.
Make them react to more of them
"cause Washington always wins" except for about 2/3rd of his battles =)
Well, he wins the most Important ones when it counts...:)

And the one that laughs his ass off at the line.

Overwhelming support for "use this to get kids interested in history"
THANK YOU ELDER GODS.
Honestly, these rap battles are good at teaching history. Not in, and of, themselves, but they have inspired me, more than a few times, to do some research on the subjects of the battle. The battle with Newton Vs Nye even got me to research the basics of calculus (I'm only 13 years old), and I actually understand the concepts quite well.
Crazy to think you’re in your 20s right now
Their ERB voiceover attempts were worth the price of admission! That was hilarious! 🤣
I have learnt so much from ERB and the work that they put in to those videos is, in itself, epic.
The interesting thing is the stuff in the *history library books* or that they taught in school was often as inaccurate if not more so than Epic Rap Battle. The Revolutionary War being the hugest culprit. I understand being traditionalist about sources of information, but the ultimate goal should include something resembling accuracy.
Elders react to old technology and they could talk about how technology has changed.
Having the elders react to new technology would probably serve that purpose better, such as the google glass video.

For all the ERB fans...
You want to battle wits

i really like this. nearly every ERB verse is referring to something, and having elders that have a better chance at understanding the history behind the verses while also being alien to rap is great.
Elders react to Epic Rap Battles: Goku vs. Superman.

MasterOfLaughtur Most of them might not even know who those two are. They'd likely know who Superman is, but not really Goku.

"I don't think it requires much thought.."
That guy clearly didn't put much thought into that comment.
Have been a subscriber of ERB since the beginning it's great! One of my personal favourites is Bill Gates vs. Steve Jobs.
“I’m unclear on the need for them to have a rap contest.” Why not?
