I just listened to a thing about him that told me something I didn't know. At the end, he was suffering from a form of dementia that was causing insomnia and anxiety and delusions. Wow.
@@JeshuaSquirrel Yeah he had Lewy Body Dementia. But according to his daughter he was misdiagnosed with Parkinson's. The world will never know if it was delusions that caused his death or as reported at the time he didn't want to live with his disease so he stopped it before it got really bad. Either way.....RIP to a genius!
Poor Robin, being haunted by his own characters. Of all of them, he makes me weep. I had a close family member who suffered from dementia and the worst terrors. She would see children eating each other, imagined them walking through her room with blood dripping from their mouths as they eat other children's body parts. Then she would get up and scrub the floor of the blood only she could see. We miss her terribly but in the end, her death was mercy especially for her. Dementia is a fate worse than death. May God have mercy on Mr. Williams's soul.
@@nanner3200 so sad when the world lost Robin. Although having seen the effects of those diseases, I like to believe that he made the best decision for him and his family. 😥😥😥
In this one, Joan won the rap, Robin won our hearts. No one talked about him in this. Man was so loveable :( I had the pleasure of meeting him twice. I miss him.
Joan steamrolled over all of them & I'm sure she would've been delighted & gleeful about it. Robin coming in at the end actually hurts. I still can't rewatch his movies or specials..painful to know such a bright light was privately living in such inner darkness. I hope he's a happy, healed soul now on the other side.💙
To be fair Robin did commit suicide because he was depressed. He had a actual rare disease called "Lewy Body Dementia". One of the few things is does to you is cause hallucinations. And a autopsy proved he had that. Pretty nasty if you read up on it. It's a surprise he lived till his 60s.
~ He did a reaction video to Grand Funk: Shinin' On, and in the middle of it he made a "Cosby face." I laughed for a long time at that, and that's when I subscribed.
With the way these rap battles have been going lately, we can almost play “pick the moment Jamel walks out” 😂😂😂. It’s extra hilarious whenever the big guy has to walk off screen to “compose” himself ✋️🤣
I love the creativity of this one and I love all the guest appearances! The only problem with group battles is that the originals only get one verse, and many rap battles don’t get good and nasty until later rounds. But as a comedy fan, I still love it and I think they did a great job incorporating Cosby, who is a comedy legend but acknowledging the obvious drugged elephant in the room 🤣🤣🤣
Baaa haaa haaa that's f-ing funny as hell. When Cos started saying his lip felt funny then did someone put something in my Jello, hahahaha. Still laughing.
one of the many things i love about erb is that they dont discriminate. they go after EVERYONE....regardless of skin tone, genitalia, age, ethnic origin, political ideas or anything else.....and that's how comedy should always be.....equal opportunity mocking.
Thanks for your fun reactions! I especially appreciate that you pause to comment and then go back a bit on the vid so you won't miss anything (As I find it frustrating when reactors talk over what they're supposed to be reacting to)
Originally they weren't gonna have William's in the battle and end it with joan but when they were describing what the battle would be everyone assumed, oh so that's when Robin Williams shows up. So they decided it was a good idea lol
the ERBs that have collages are nice surprises. You should check out Jim Henson vs Stan Lee... (you may have and I just haven't come across it yet). It has sadness a bit too because Jim had passed and then after this video, Stan passed.
What they are making fun of when Cosby says "What' wrong with my lip" is a comedy routine he did a long time ago about going to the dentist. The dentist gives him a shot and he starts going numb all over and can't talk. This amazing how they tied that routine to his reputation for drugging women.
They did Robin last cause Joan loved him irl ...she'd never burn him except jokingly w private jokes between them that made them both laugh...miss Joan on the red carpet
Good Cos, J! Kudos! YOU woulda won, but for the late arrivals...Robin's got this one, imho! Every card in this deck is primo face and voice! We lucked out for awhile, that's all.✌😘🎶💞😉😂
IMHO, the greatest self-diss of all time, Pryor talked at length about the fire incident in his concert film "Live on the Sunset Strip". Watch this clip until the very end. ua-cam.com/video/7MHK_SCNfbM/v-deo.html
Yo, I'm...😂😂😂💀💀💀 When you lost it at the moment you realize the Cosby bit, I just thought to myself "Bro, it's about to get a whole lot worse. Joan Rivers doesn't give a single F*CK!" Great reaction dude. 😂😂😂👍🏻
this is one of my favourite battles and Joan Rivers was perfect, the look, the mannerism, the voice, the accent, the manner of speaking, simply perfect!
FINALLY!! Been waiting on this one since you did Joker vs Pennywise. Agreed Rivers smoked all of em off the stage. Can't wait til you get to Stan Lee vs Jim Henson for another surprise guest
If they were going to go all ot like that, they really missed by not doing the two comedians that influenced *all* of them Redd Foxx. And Lenny Bruce. Those two were the OG kings of stand-up, and set the standards for everyone that came after them.
IRL Pryor and Carlin were good friends. And though they made great movies together, Pryor and Gene Wilder never got along. The more you know *shooting star*
Am I the only one who doesn't care about epic rap battles? You could make a million of them, each one funnier than the other, but taking up valuable space and time of great music worth keeping alive ..

as someone else has said in another reaction. Rivers won the battle, Robin won our hearts.
I think all of the battles with secret participants are great. :)
Very true.
One of my favorite ERBs. (mostly because of how much I love all these entertainers)
Robin saying, "Gotta set myself free" makes me tear up every time.
A hard play on words but it's the Genie talking there. Mork made me laugh as a kid. I'll always hang on to that.

Jamel's Cosby imitation for the win. KNOCKOUT!!!
I think it was more a Jamel doing Kenan Thompson doing Bill Cosby... but it definitely worked.
Robin Williams' rap was like listing his resume. Rivers had the hottest burns though.
In this one, Joan won the rap, Robin won our hearts. No one talked about him in this. Man was so loveable :( I had the pleasure of meeting him twice. I miss him.
fr just gonna steal that shit and act like you didn't?
@@Petrol_Sniffa I met him while on tour in Iraq.... did I steal that
@@bboyblock3030 On tour in iraq and your entire channel is call of duty gameplay FAKE VALOR LMAO
@@Petrol_Sniffa in some of those videos you can even see where I was in other countries playing a game... oh WOW
@@Petrol_Sniffa thanks for looking at my channel :)
Joan Rivers smoked everyone off the stage.
Well technically she didn’t talk about Robert Williams but ya
She got the gold medal while Pryor got the silver medal
There's a few that are like this, where instead of it being one on one, it's a free for all. Usually revolving around a theme.
Cosby is set up nicely by his signature 'hey' during Pryor's last lines.
Joan steamrolled over all of them & I'm sure she would've been delighted & gleeful about it. Robin coming in at the end actually hurts.

The funniest part of this rap battle was Jamel's reactions LOL
For me it was Jamel's spot on Cosby lol
I'd rather watch these than the actual original ERB videos for that very reason.
@@shannonp1656 and he missed like 50% of the bars
Jamel might've just pulled off the greatest Cosby impression I've ever seen ... Gawwd Dayumm!! LOL
~ He did a reaction video to Grand Funk: Shinin' On, and in the middle of it he made a "Cosby face." I laughed for a long time at that, and that's when I subscribed.
My new game is guessing what line/s will make Mr. Jamel stand up and walk away. 😆 🤣 😂
Always thought this one was weak on the bars, but it's so much fun that it makes up for it. (and that Robin Williams impression is REALLY good)
Did u forget Joan was spitting
Same here; the beat is so good, the impressions are on-point and I just love it.
dude, that was an unconscious impression of bill cosby by you Jamel....really, that was great
Gordon Ramsey vs. Julia Child and Western vs. Eastern Philosophers are the two I'm still waiting on! ;)
(Edit: oh and Stan Lee vs. Jim Henson)
We’ve all had our bumps! Nice bar about the drugs they all did
With the way these rap battles have been going lately, we can almost play “pick the moment Jamel walks out” 😂😂😂. It’s extra hilarious whenever the big guy has to walk off screen to “compose” himself ✋️🤣
I have a feeling...this will be my favorite. Thank you. I knew it...they were harsh on Cosby. This was crazy....many hard stuff.
I love the creativity of this one and I love all the guest appearances!

Aw man! I was waiting for you to do this one and here it is!!
The Bill Cosby part had me rollin' yo'!!😂😂😂
I lost it at your Cosby impression :D
“Somebody put something in my pudding” LMAO!
Nice, I'm glad your going through all of these.
Great Series. Loved watching it Progress season to season
Your Cosby impersonation was spot on! 😂
Love both these guys!! Thanks Jamal 👍😁
Just as in real life Joan River is a savage.
Originally they weren't gonna have William's in the battle and end it with joan but when they were describing what the battle would be everyone assumed, oh so that's when Robin Williams shows up. So they decided it was a good idea lol
Do you remember the Pepsi commercial Alfonso Ribeiro dancing with Michael and the Jackson 5?
Get my Jamel brings ERB fix! Here we go!
George never saw Alfonso Ribeiro with his shirt off. Dayum, that was a BOD.
Interesting. I never heard of this thing. Thanks for sharing.
the ERBs that have collages are nice surprises. You should check out Jim Henson vs Stan Lee... (you may have and I just haven't come across it yet). It has sadness a bit too because Jim had passed and then after this video, Stan passed.
That was a good Cosby impression. Well done.
OMG - please do your Bill Cosby again and again and again! I spit coffee out of my nose just now! LMAO

I like how you were flabbergasted lol!
I think that was my favorite walk off yet when you realized that was Cosby. That was a great reaction. Lmao! Keep up the good work bruh.

you are probably the first reactor i know of that understood the pryor line about the fire incident.
4:27 - your Cosby impression is tight!
Your Cosby realisation lollllllllllllllll
Lol! 🤣 Nice Cosby impression
Yes the word is crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not what I expected
When you did the Carlton dance. Hahaha
List of Rappers in this video:
-George Carlin
-Richard Pryor
-Stinky Stinky Rapist Man
-Joan Rivers
-Robin Williams
Your Cosby... 🤣
I knew the Cosby bit would get you out of your seat
That’s a pretty good Cosby impression.
Never seen this before, but it was hilarious.
This is my second favorite ERB. Fantastic performances, crisp writing. Just phenomenal.
whats your first?
@@sightbride5148 hi. Jack the Ripper v Hannibal Lecter. Dan Bull is awesome.
Lol Shhiiitt, they went there. That was funny lol
They did Robin last cause Joan loved him irl ...she'd never burn him except jokingly w private jokes between them that made them both laugh...miss Joan on the red carpet
I wonder if it was the Genie who put something in Bill's pudding?! 🤔
Good Cos, J! Kudos! YOU woulda won, but for the late arrivals...Robin's got this one, imho! Every card in this deck is primo face and voice! We lucked out for awhile, that's all.✌😘🎶💞😉😂
Did somebody put something in my puddin; LMAO
It's sad that Cosby is the only living comic in this.
Well his career and life are dead, so there's that...
Your reaction cracks me up haha
normally when they bring in so many rappers, it is a season finale
that's a neat impression of Bill Cosby
IMHO, the greatest self-diss of all time, Pryor talked at length about the fire incident in his concert film "Live on the Sunset Strip". Watch this clip until the very end. ua-cam.com/video/7MHK_SCNfbM/v-deo.html
Damn Jamal, your Cosby is pretty good!!
oh yeah...they def went there D
The look on your face! I think I pissed myself!
I wish George Carlin was alive just to hear his opinion of the state of the world today.
Really would love to just have a full robin williams dis track where its just Robin shitting on all other comedians. Just for the fun of it.
Yo, I'm...😂😂😂💀💀💀 When you lost it at the moment you realize the Cosby bit, I just thought to myself "Bro, it's about to get a whole lot worse. Joan Rivers doesn't give a single F*CK!" Great reaction dude. 😂😂😂👍🏻
1:14 It’s not unusual to be loved by anyone
All of them are in our hearts in one way or another. No one should be chosen over the other save maybe the Coz.
That ERB is off the chain
This is the ONLY time I've ever heard you swear lol.
Still doing ERB's I see. 🤣 Hooked aren't you. Don't stop, they're all great. Some better than others, but all worth checking out
this is one of my favourite battles and Joan Rivers was perfect, the look, the mannerism, the voice, the accent, the manner of speaking, simply perfect!
Have you reacted to the ERB for Ghostbusters vs Mythbusters?
So just for future episode.. the season finalies are always multiple people in them.
this wasn't even a season finale...they did more battles after this one
Man Jamal you need to do Lewis and Clark vs Bill and Ted. Its one of the best.
I do agree that it would have been nice if they had kept the battle between just Carlin and Pryor, but even so this was still great.
All this battle continues to do is make me miss Robin Williams. RIP bubba. RIP to everyone except Bill Cosby. Even though he ain't dead yet.
~ His career is though.
@@5jerry1 Thankfully
I marked out that they got Gary Anthony Williams for this.
Love this one and I love you, bro! Check out George R.R. Martin vs. J.R.R. Tolkien.
FINALLY!! Been waiting on this one since you did Joker vs Pennywise. Agreed Rivers smoked all of em off the stage. Can't wait til you get to Stan Lee vs Jim Henson for another surprise guest
Heheeeee! These guys are hilarious. Was this a SNL skit?
Epic Rap Battles of History is a series on UA-cam...it's never been on SNL because, well......it almost can't be
@@Ansonius77 Thanks!
This is the Battle Royale of the Comedy Greats. 😄
Shame Bill went to the Dark Side. 😐
If they were going to go all ot like that, they really missed by not doing the two comedians that influenced *all* of them
Redd Foxx. And Lenny Bruce.
Those two were the OG kings of stand-up, and set the standards for everyone that came after them.
Goosebumps is right; 4 comedy gods all spittin fire. Joan had the best bars, took everyone down including herself.
Joan gets the win, but Robin gets my tears, and Cosby, as always, gets nothing but my disdain.
These are great.
More!
This battle is my favorite erb so far.
Two of my favs :)
Hej Jamal, You should watch Jimmy Carr - Riskiest Jokes pt1
Dude, it's ERB. Of *COURSE* they went there.
IRL Pryor and Carlin were good friends. And though they made great movies together, Pryor and Gene Wilder never got along. The more you know *shooting star*
Am I the only one who doesn't care about epic rap battles? You could make a million of them, each one funnier than the other, but taking up valuable space and time of great music worth keeping alive ..
This is good because there all dead except cosby
fact: “i attack u 2 1st but ur hearts beat me too it” both richard and george died from heart conditions
