I missed expounding on the "fight a fox with Fawkes"...I started to say, but then didn't, that that's a play of the Disney version too, where all the characters were animals, and Robin Hood was represented by an anthropomorphic fox. Bravo to the writers.
You may have gotten this one, but the "I'll show this archer some honest intentions" line also references the saying that Guy Fawkes was the "last man to enter parliament with honest intentions"
Can’t disagree with that Corruption is essential in all government because it’s only through your keys to power and the rewards you give them that they let you have any semblance of power Representative democracy or dictatorship it’s all the same
@@jmurray1110 that would make sense if corruption was literally the antithesis to what any person of power should achieve. The whole point of elected officals is you represent the people, not the person
The fingers reference has another reference in there - English Archers were incredibly powerful in battle, using bows that drew to over a hundred pounds so their arrows would pierce plate armour, and yes their enemies would cut their fingers off to disarm them. So it became a common taunt for archers to brandish those two fingers, as if to say "I've still got them, and they're going to make you pay".
Alright since I think you missed it John Johnston was guy’s alias when he rented the building he stashed the gunpower in A fact blue or overly sarcastic production derived much amusement from
At 16:11, the part about showing Robin “honest intentions” is a reference to how Guy Fawkes is described as the “the last man to enter Parliament with honest intentions.”
The four horses was a different punishment famously used by atila the hun and western gangs The naked hook ride as more conservatively depicted dates back to at least the romans and probably earlier Actually the romans had a lot of unusual executions that recreated myths like being raped to death or being torn apart like Orpheus
As soon as I heard the rap battle when it released, I was very hopeful you would react to it! I'm not huge into history, so I really had to do some research after listening the first time. Even then, I didn't get everything, so your explanations really helped a lot. That said, my favorite line has to be "All that gunpowder to bloody blunder and buss-t it." The play on words just makes me laugh. I do also agree on the whole being stunned hearing Stupes curse. I curse more than I should, so I'm not innocent by any means, but hearing them curse never fails to be shock. I partially think that's what makes it great though, is how rarely it occurs. It's special :P
Well we use fireworks on forth of July because they represented national prosperity and patriotism before America was a thing. Also our national anthem goes "and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there" I think fireworks are a great way to represent that.
I am from Slovakia so i didnt realize that Stupes were swearing, but it didnt shocked me, everyone is sometimes swearing, so its that that big case. Ian awesome reaction as always, i watched the battle earlier so i knew that will be awesome when you will react to it :)
Oh gosh this battle had more things that I thought! Lots of references!! One of my favorites battles from freshy kanal! Happy you like and reacted it! :D
I think that Much the Miller’s son’s line “Not Much the minister’s son can knock up” might be a double because of the way they capitalized “Much” in it. Small thing I thought was funny
There was a stone where I used to live where the myth was Robin Hood used to sharpen their arrows it was a long way from Nottingham. There was a program here called Horrible Histories it has a song going through all the kings and queens. It's interesting how they do it.
More accurately during the Anglo french fued when an archer was captured their index and middle funguses were cut off and in order to taunt the French the English would throw up the two fingers as a “fuck you we are rearing to go” sort of deal and that’s how the sign became a swear in the UK
Loving the Starbomb shirt Ian, very cool! Y'know, they might not necessarily be comedy, but a lot of the Horrible Histories songs are parodies of well known songs and artists. "Gimme Gimme Crown" (also known as the 'Norman Family Tree' song or 'Matilda(s) & Stephen...& Henry') is a mash-up of multiple ABBA songs, for example and "Born To Rule" (can also be called 'The Four King Georges Song') is a parody of boy bands. A great reaction to the rap battle and I loved your knowledge about some famous faces in British history! Reminded me of some things I'd forgot about, like Fawkes being beheaded.
Completely agree, Horrible Histories had so many good musical bangers. Also a fantastic way to learn all the history my High School just skipped. I learned more history as an adult than I ever did in school. 🤣
I really like how you over explain the lyrics, as someone who doesn’t watch a whole lot of media outside of dnd, it’s much better to listen to it an actual understand what the reference are
I'm glad you reacted to this, and given when it came out you likely already had the video ready to upload when I made that comment, but I won't lie I shouted "yes!" when I saw this in my feed.
I don’t know if it was intended but I like the wordplay of Much the Miller’s Son using the phrase “But there’s not ‘Much the Minister’s Son’ can knock up” in his part of Hood’s verse.
@@Insaneian I would recommend crushing thirties and it just works. Love your stuff. U deserve more subs, unlike those NPCs that will just sit there and watch the video you go in depth and actually provide a real reaction with commentary and your opinions and thoughts.
I get the swearing thing as well with friends of quite a few years who are surprised when I swear. Probably because I don't do it much. It does seem weird though that they are still surprised.
He means Peter pantomime because I guess his acts looked pathetic and comparable to Robin Hood but Guy Fawkes is mighty. A pantonmime I think is a play/show where the main character, in this case Peter Pan, reinacting a book or main series of acts and win. Basically, it’s like a short interactive film in a room with a stage. It’s a British thing hence why Stupendium says it :)
I know Pantomime's as plays, I've done a few myself (despite being American) and I think since both Robin Hood and Fawkes were also British is more the reason than just Stupes. But pantomime is also what mimes do (it's where the name comes from) so that's where I originally took the line to mean (meaning he was pantomiming or being a mime of Peter Pan...I had forgotten about the play style). Thanks!
Like you, I don't mind swearing in a song, but I do think it shows more creativity if swearing is kept to a minimum; of course, this varies depending on the song. I mean, Lajoie's song, I Don't Give Fuck, sort of implies a lot of swearing.

Stupes will have new song 26th august be sure to react to it!!! :)
@@poke-master1284 Oh I'm aware, and I'll react to it if it's a comedy song.😁
What's more, Fawkes said just before that Robin was a "dorky Zorro" and zorro means fox in Spanish
@@Insaneian it will be mega pizzaplex song (new version of five nights at freddys)

Particularly given the British army was mostly archers and football was banned a couple times in order to get more people shooting

Think my fav line is the murdered by none/murdered by nuns. Not sure why but that one always gets a chuckle outta me.
You've probably seen this multiple times, but you should totally do a Stupendium tier list sometime!
Hmm. Interesting idea!
Yay! I was hoping youd react to this, ive been obsessing over this song for the past week
I liked your reaction very much as always!! Such a great history bit about the archers, you always get so much stuff that flies off my head
Maybe we should call you William tell then
I'm glad you reacted to this, and given when it came out you likely already had the video ready to upload when I made that comment, but I won't lie I shouted "yes!" when I saw this in my feed.
@insaneian Ayo ask Freshy to make Green Arrow Vs Hawkeye RAP BATTLE!
IVE BEEN WANTING TO MAKE THAT ONE MYSELF!

Houses of Parliament/Palace of Westminster.
Edit) you got it in the end. 🙂👍
U should react to more of the chalkeaters stuff. They’ve been doing some pretty funny stuff over there.
Should check ‘em out of you can
I thought I was subscribed to them and I hadn't seen anything in a while...guess not!

if you like these ERB style rap battles my I suggest "Princess Rap Battles" by Whitney Avalon? I personally recommend Elsa Vs Mrs. Clause.
I've seen a few of those (and Whitney is an online friend of mine) and even reacted to a few here on my channel!
Umm, do you mean Mrs. Claus vs Mary Poppins, or Elsa vs Snow White?
