I always tell my girlfriend I don't have the attention span to sit though a movie; but I'll apparently spend 45 minutes watching a masked man on the internet go slowly insane.
Felt like 5 minutes...not long enough...really enjoyed it too much
I think it's because movies are 90 minutes long on average, but this guy goes insane in a relatively reasonable 3/4 hour mark. It's also very entertaining to watch him lose his mind over anything.
@Madge Seedorff I don’t think anyone is interested
@@zephyrstrife4668 you have ever seen a Bollywood movie?
@@andipatel5044 no, I haven't. Mostly since there have never been any recommended to me
The word “Breakdown” in the title is a double meaning lol.
Man I was seriously getting worried with my man's sanity
@@user-ng4xe5rf8n this entire battle feels like skeem challenged a boss he was far too underleveled for and he kinda made it past but is also in the mindset of "i regret everything, never again. Please no." While curled in a corner clutching his erb pen

Props for pointing the non-nihilist. the complete phrase is:"God is dead, WE killed him" and he didn't mean it like a good thing
"...And we will never wash the blood from our hands."
Yeah, but on the other hand he did believe that the modern world/society turns more and more towards nihilism - which he described as pretending that there is no problem and chosing the easiest path - and it is both inevidable and unstoppable (I agree that he hated it, but still that was the main focus of his many works). Also that with God's "death" all the metaphysical values are gone and invalidated (and need to be remade from scratch) - which does fall within modern definitions of nihilism.
@@krzysztofdabrowski9399 You could call him a pessimist or a cynic for believing that other people would more and more adopt those views but that doesn't mean he shared those views.
"Everything is pointless" is not the same as "things will get worse because everyone will believe that everything is pointless".

I used to tell people who asked me why I ask so many questions "Just to make you ask that very question and just to piss you off!".lol
My oldest son told me he thought I was serious when I gave him the answer "Just to piss you off." I laughed out loud when he told me that (he's about to turn 24.) My youngest son, just turned 7, says "It didn't work" when I tell him that. I'm sure that says something about the two, I philosophically don't care though, both are hilarious 🤣

Video summary: We Skeem is paid for both a rap and mental breakdown
Okay was anybody going to tell me that Nietzsche wan’t a nihilist, or was I supposed to learn that from a breakdown of an Epic Rap Battle of History?
You where supposed to read his work and interpret it with your big brain. Not listen to some college professor or nazi propagandist.
Dude....I have probably done more googling because of this battle than I have ever done. It is kinda wierd that I learned more from an ERB breakdown than when I was in class lol. 😂😂😂
EDIT: fixed typos 🤓
@@Karen-pk3uv FACTS and its SAD THO LOL
Google
I actually looked up Nietzche after watching the original ERB. Don't remember learning anything.
So basically, Socrates was just a 2 year old going through the "why stage."
And they killed him for it.

Guess "Breakdown" in the video's title referred to more than just explaining about it..........

N.i.e.t.z.s.c.h.e.
Ended this guy like his name in a spelling bee!
In my opinion, Nietzsche was a fatalist. Not a nihilist. It was just philosophically mutilated to become the modern bullshit nihilism.
You could sweep the floor with that mustache
This one's definitely in the top 3 best ERB's of all time.
It’s Peter’s favorite!
@@faithfulmacaroni2275 I see why lol, it's filled with bars.
Could you recommend your other two picks? For me it's this one, Ivan Vs Alexander and Joker Vs Pennywise

@@user-ng4xe5rf8n Ivan The Terrible vs Alexander The Great is one of my favourite.
Skeem: He was not a Nihilist
“Smart people”: yeah he wasn’t
Honest people: the hell is a Nihilist
A nihilist is someone who sees no moral coherence in the world and sees everything as a result of behavior... as in nothing having a point and reduction of moral values to mere self-indulgence of humanity.
@@uUuWolf16uUu huh I guess I'm a bit nihilistic. I believe most of religion is a human construction. Not saying it's wrong. In fact I support religious believes. What ever helps you survive this world. And moral believes are usually rooted in religious origins and the acceptance of the majority so by that train of thought morals are a human construct and not given by a holy being. Personally I just believe in human dignity. Golden rule and all that. Let the rest sorry itself out. Sorry went on a tangent didn't i
Fabian Saam thanks 👍👍
google says
ni·hil·ism
/ˈnīəˌlizəm,ˈnēəˌlizəm/
noun
the rejection of all religious and moral principles, in the belief that life is meaningless.
The time has come...also RIP the pause counter
THANK YOU FOR SAYIGN NIETZSCHE ISN’T A NIHILIST. This pissed me off so much for so long, especially the fact he got hijacked by post-modernists
...
saying*
The fact that Nietzsche was bastardised in this battle always annoyed me, thanks for setting the records straight.
I'll add that one aspect of Lao Tsu's line "I'll make you move b" that I attribute to it is Taoism's relation to Tao Ji, a martial art that is to a large extent about using people's strength against them to pacify them. You already knew and if you see the comment you'll get annoyed... But I like being asshole, so there you go.
"Oh, this will be a good one"

We Skeem has officaly lost his sanity
i thought he already lost it with Joker vs Pennywise, but this is something else
you forgot to break down the "method, man" bar's fourth meaning of "the Socratic Method."
CANDIDE is a philosophy romance about ,love weakness and everything else and it's written by vultaire

put a "breakdown" counter next to pause counter. it will represent the ratio between actual lyric breakdown and mental breakdowns XD
And here, ladies and gentlemen, we witness a man's descent into madness

John from the comment section: "Well actually.."
That hatred against Nietzsche being called a nihilist... You. I like you.
Damn We Skeem, it’s only been 4 days since you gave us the glorious pause counter and now you already have a shirt for it?! Damn you merchandise fast
The shirt existed before the counter 👀
TAKE MY MONEY 🤑
ok, The End. This is the best breakdown of this specific battle rap BY FAR. Is freakishly thick with meaning and you could not make it shorter without glossing over so many words.
this it why I like this channel
26:02 there's also the phrase "Sun's out, Gun's out" which was on a lot of sleeveless shirts around the time the rap came out. Get it?
Waiting for the Franks line, really simple one but the alliteration is perrrrfect
I'm just disappointed that the meaning of the Frank as in a frenchman wasn't mentioned.
Omg he actually did it, dude I’m between nerd and a normie but goddam this is brilliant
Skeem, sir. I respect your tenacity and the fact that by the end of this video you were not rendered into the fetal position. I've seen lesser men **Skinner** near death with this one.
I feel like that liquor bottle in the background was what kept you sane.
Western Philosopher Goal: Acknowledge My Wisdom for I am smarter than you

Eastern are all conformists though.
I came back after watching the premiere to boost traffic, because this channel deserves it. I would do more, but I'm broke as hell. Also cheap.
Why must you make me choose between the “Memory Loss” and “Pause” merch 😩?!?
Eh, I guess I’ll get a “Memory Loss” shirt soon since I don’t know when to shut up most of the time in real life. Or maybe that would make my friends prefer the “Pause” shirt - I could see them poking me in the chest to “pause” me.
Get a memory loss shirt, forget you got it and then buy a pause one. Easy
Me: wow...a 45 minute reaction. This will be PACKED with info I'm clearly unaware of. LOVE IT!
Reality: dude loses his sh!t trying to scratch the surface of all info. STILL LOVE IT!
Skeem: You were supposed to DESTROY the Nihilists NOT JOIN THEM.
that was great! 106 pauses, and some great insight, finally subscribing and made it to a premiere!
20:49 The quarantine mood; brought to you by We Skeem.
That REACTION to the nihilist line was pure gold, and I scream that shit at every Nietzsche wannabe I encounter in life. Bravo sir!
Gonna be a good one tonight Skeem!! I feel for the pause button already but, I’m ready to be philosophized
At the rate he beats the thing..i am half surprised he has not gotten charged for abuse lol
Can’t wait to see the reaction to the SARS line if any, I’ll still get a laugh out of this though
here's a meaningful comment meant for we skeem to continue doing his thing because of the algorithm stuff
Not gonna lie. It's not only probably your best breakdown video to date (and now a favorite), but also one of the most entertaining to watch as of yet. New Pause record to break is now 106... question here is: "Which will break first? The record or... Skeem's Sanity?" 😂
I like how you had a special 'shushing' Skeem for pause 69. I see you.
Why'd you pause the video so little this time, We Skeem?
Lao Tzu's line about not standing in his path or he'll make him move out the way, is also a reference to one of Lao Tzu's books "The Way" and Tao also translates as road or path
It’s also a reference to a song as well
@@kurtisconn4710 That's the obvious meaning
(Insert angry philosophical/nerdish comments about the references We Skeem didn't mention here)
Skeem, sir, you are the G.O.A.T of breakdown pausing! U have an incredible sense of humor to go along with actual knowledge of crap- awesome!
May 1st 2020: The day that Skeem completely lost his shit and beat the pause bar like a punching bag...
What is annoying? Am I annoying? Am I interested in philosophy? What really is philosophy, anyways?
I gotta give a like for boomer doomer, Havent heard that yet. Also its ok skeem, the philosophers cant hurt you anymore.
Btw "Breakdown" is an understatement... This broke into philosophical level.
How have I not found you sooner? Your breakdowns are awesome. And I love how you ripped into Nietzsche not being a nihilist. I'm studying European history as a hobby and Nietzsche's my latest study focus
Also COVID is literally SARS-2. Scientifically speaking, that's its official name. nCoV-SARS-2 or similar.
for a couple of weeks I have just been watching a video of yours here and there, but this 40+ minute breakdown deserved me to sub and like the video...Great job! Now, onward to your other vids!
So I found this channel 2 days ago and binged watched your ERB stuff. I want to say thank you for the incredible video and that since you go into so much depth I legitimately learned many things I did not catch on my own in not just this breakdown but the others you have done as well. Hopefully you can recover some of your mental health before you have to do another ERB with a large cast. Once again, thank you for the wonderful video.
Voltaire: *raps his first few lines*
Skeem: .... *Looney Toons scream*
Nearly an hour video.
4 minute rap made into 50 minutes of pure breakdown.
Oh hell yeah here we go
Obviously bar of the day: "Call me Ubermensch cause I'm so driven."
Ubermensch=Uber the ride share company.
I'm so driven= you get get driven around in a uber
This battle is one of my favourites. So much historical meaning behind in every line. And big thanks cuz i thought i understood all historical disses and lines, but this breakdown gave so much more information what i didn't even know. Thank you for your effort. Love your content!
22:22 this is the sight of a broken man.
Dude your awesome for this. I don't think anyone else a had even tried to do this one. I doubt if they did they'd even attempt to go in this in-depth!!! Thanks!!
Well watching Skeem have a breakdown doing this breakdown has finally made me sub to this channel. Despite the trolling and things I can find annoying with his videos his commitment to really dissecting this beyond amazing. Good work Skeem.
The amount of meaning packed into this battle speaks volumes about the genius of the ERB team. This is one of my favorite battles and is probably their "deepest" as far as packing meaning into virtually every word.
Have you ever looked into getting those sitting/standing conversion desks for your office? I've heard a lot of people swear by them during long streaming/recording/editing sessions as it lets them stand for a bit by just lifting the desk up. I know physically sitting isn't the entire issue, but it might help alleviate some of it if you can stretch out while still doing work.
all your reactions are absolutely amazing. your music is good too. thank you for all the great content!
Ah Skeem. Thank you for what you do. Been watching ERB for years and never knew even a quarter of what you break down. Been a fun learning experience for me.
"A bowl is most useful when it is empty" is referring to the potential of the item before assigning a duty to it. For example, an empty bowl can be used for any multitude of activities(holding candy, placing on your head as a helmet, dog water bowl, etc), but a bowl full of cereal can only be used to eat cereal(or throw it at someone?).
I object! A bowl of cereal can also be used to put out your hair if it's on fire! And ... and ... okay, I got nothing else.
"Read his actual crap!" The way you said it sounded perfect XD
Great vid!! Love how you added the pause count to your recent videos lol
Thanks Skeem, this was so entertaining to watch 👍
Thank you for your dedication and resilience. I appreciate you subjecting yourself to suffering to bring us entertainment
It is such a pleasure to watch you and the show grow, We Skeem. Ya done good. :)
I actually really enjoyed this alot. Thanks for putting yourself through that for us.
not only was this a breakdown of the rap battle but my mans was also having a breakdown
I don't tend to react visibly much when watching. One of many reasons why I've never been tempted to do any reactions of my own. It'd be very boring to watch. But this one had me grinning from ear to ear when the philosophers turned on each other, and laughed out loud at "What Is Winning?" Watching your mental breakdown over-analyzing this added to my joy. Thank you.
I have loved all of your I have gotten to watch videos (I just recently discovered them.) but I have to say, this one really deserves that subscribe!
I love the fact that even tho we cant see your face... at the beginning we could feel your literal pain in this coming breakdown... not only the amount of bars, entendres 2 and 3... but also the nerds having field days in the comments... love this!!! Your pain makes us smile so thank you!!
THANK YOU FOR REPPING NIETZSCHE AGAINST NIHILISM. That line gets me mad every time
I'm not a person who usually comments on videos, but that reference to Schfifty Five was such a deep cut, I needed to congratulate you, Skeem. Well done.
First I've seen notice that. Wasn't sure how many have been enjoying memes long enough to appreciate.
Lowkey best breakdown channel I've seen.
I have been looking forward to this!
Got sick with a simple fever (Not simple to my family when I'm prone to it more thanks to genetics), and needed SOMETHING cool to watch that is new... I find this channel. This is very strangely relaxing.
Good stuff as always. You always seem to have something to add I didn't realize that was there. After first hearing this rap, I listened to audio version of both Sun Tzu's 'Art of War' and Lao Tzu's 'The Way' (of life). Lao Tzu said (iirc) going against 'The Way' only causes distress to a person which is another tangent on the "get of the way" bar.
*40 Minutes of We Skeem talking about philosophy*
This is either going to be awesome or We Skeem going insane
I dont normally comment on these videos, since I just enjoy to sit back and watch, but damn, this one deserves all the praise it can get. This was so well done.
This is another one of my favourites, love the bars & flow for this one :)
Hard to pick just one favorite video from you, but if I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO CHOOSE.....it's this one for me.
I really appreciate the dedication and effort you took into editing this truly lengthy, informative, and even hilarious breakdown of what is easily one of the BEST WRITTEN ERBs to ever hit UA-cam. I also appreciate the "I hate my life, I hate my life" bit at the end with you singing and nodding to the beat all defeated. I find myself doing that in my head when rewatching the battle! 😅 Overall, EXCELLENT reaction, FANTASTIC BREAKDOWN, and a REAL GOOD LAUGH. I know this was probably one of, if not, the hardest ERB reaction video you've ever had to sit down and record, edit, and publish, but in my eyes, that suffering was well worth it. 👏👏👏👏👏 Thanks for making all the amazing, diverse, and unique content that you do and for brightening my days whenever you upload. Much love as always to you and your beautiful wife and kids. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤️
I usually go and look up everyone that are in the raps if it pertains to people in history and read about them! But this one I never got around too doing it because of all the people in it and I didnt have time, thanks for helping there gives me a little bit of help of what they did!
this was the funniest thing i've seen in a long time... funnier than the actual rap battle which is one of my favorites.
subscribed!
This One is one of my favorite's by far, And More because you Explain a lot stuff i don't Know
Have a Great Day
I always love your erb vid, your vids are so unique compared to other channels :')
Gotta love the fact that Nietzsche just gets pissed off and walks away at the end
hey man, I appreciate your effort to break this down. Could easily spend a whole day on it.
Candide, ou l'Optimisme is a French satire first published in 1759 by Voltaire, a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment.[6] The novella has been widely translated, with English versions titled Candide: or, All for the Best (1759); Candide: or, The Optimist (1762); and Candide: Optimism (1947).
It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism by his mentor, Professor Pangloss.[8] The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow and painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes Candide with, if not rejecting Leibnizian optimism outright, advocating a deeply practical precept, "we must cultivate our garden", in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, "all is for the best" in the "best of all possible worlds".
