All 23 Celebrities Who've Seen Themselves Portrayed in Epic Rap Battles of History
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- @ERB has portrayed hundreds of famous historical figures, fictional characters and celebrities over the past 13 years. Here is a list of the select few people who have seen themselves (or their characters) in Epic Rap Battles of History and how they reacted to their portrayal.
Note: I'm sure that this is not an exhaustive list. These 23* people are simply the only celebrities for whom there is evidence that they know about ERB. It's very possible that people such as Sarah Palin, Lance Armstrong, Ellen Degeneres, Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), Jeff Bezos (et cetera) have seen their battles, but never commented about them publicly.
*23 people including Lady Gaga and Elon Musk, whose knowledge of ERB is only speculated.

And we have seen this. Nice work.
Wonder if the NicePeter vs EpicLLOYD battles should've counted for the purposes of this video...
@@EpicLLOYD OMG! Thank you so much! Both you and Peter are huge inspirations to me. I actually met you on the way to the bathroom at your live show in Preston. Thanks for being so cool and humble (and giving me directions).
Lloyd is ERB without actually being ERB
Just out of curiosity, why didn't nicepeter continue playing Trump in the latter three Trump battles?
Lloyd plays trump better imo @@greyghost2492
I saw Hitler post a thing the other day saying that he actually really liked the Darth Vader v. himself trilogy.
@@scafurtz_industries_youtube Damn, that's crazy.
this post was approved by real american patriots
does hitler know about this?
criminally underrated comment
@bubbagaming6023 Hey, he posted it. I would dare him to try and sue me.
Publicly reacting to your erb video should be a mandatory service
What if they’re dead

i cant believe red from angry birds knows about erb
Yeah, I saw it live. His motivational speech telling them to keep making rap battles was so touching is made me cry. "Nyaaaaa hiyaa" - Red

Obama and Trump: know about ERB, 2 terms
Biden: does not know about ERB, 1 term
Hmmm...
obama only had 1 rap battle
@oscdrama yeah but he still served 2 terms, he only has 1 rap battle bc erb didn't exist yet in 2008
New political meta
I doubt that Lady Gaga herself was the one responsible for removing that video. She fired her manager because he refused to give Weird Al permission to parody one of her songs so I assume she would also be completely fine with her ERB video
Weird Al is a music legend though so maybe not
@@deejaydee1578So is ERB!
The fact that Wierd Al may have indirectly effected the deletion of an ERB video by influencing a decision of Lady Gaga to fire her manager is pretty crazy tbh.
Imagine if Wierd Al appears in an ERB episode, drops some hard lines without swearing once, and then the real Wierd Al reacts to it and enjoys it, that'd be crazy
@djangel3108 I mean, Al was Isaac Newton in an ERB episode
@djangel3108 weird al. please.
I love the implication that Tory Belleci is aware of the Mythbusters rap battle, but never publicly acknowledged it cause he had no good lines
He couldn’t think of a tweet
@@OscarMartinez-hk9eyHe should've just said the first thing that popped into his mind!

For the skrillex one I can’t tell which one is the real skrillex
dude same. it is a really good cosplay
The one on the right; he has a more pronounced nose and is noticeably shorter, Skrillex is 5'5'' while EpicLloyd is 5'6''. His voice is also different if you listen closely!
Mission accomplished.
??? I've only seen skrillex's face a few times a while ago but it was quite obv to me. Though the other guys looks like him I'm surprised you are that blind. Congrats!
@@copbabycombo1311Dude epicLloyd would've corrected me if i was wrong, and he instead said "Mission accomplished" meaning that I'm correct. The only blind one here is you pal 😂 Congrats!
These two dudes making low budget music on UA-cam elevating themselves to the point where two US presidents know about their existence is pretty cool
I wouldn’t say it’s low budget. They got Snoop to play Moses.
They got Weird Al to voice Newton
@ItzIngenious it started off low budget morons
And a former US governor
Trump doesn't count, he reacted to Death Battle years before he went for President
Apparently one of the other UA-camrs invited to the white house was Vsauce Michael, but there isn't any footage i could find of them talking to each other. I feel like the knowledge exchanged was too powerful for this world to handle.
He did say that he took a pic of him in Toilet
Or was it? 🤔
"Vsauce Michael here. Did you know how it easy it is to bypass The White House's security?"
Edit - Stop liking this. The CIA keeps kicking my door down and I can't afford it anymore
Another one of them was Smosh… but they sadly didn’t get to meet Obama… rumor is Ian and Anthony didn’t pass the evaluation test 💀💀💀
Which like, its not that surprising tbh, just look at the shit they were making pre 08 and even during Obama’s tenure 🤣
was it when he illegally took a picture in the white house restroom or am i thinking of something else?
my ass was NOT expecting to see the fucking JOKER out of all people
When it comes to the Joker, expect the unexpected.
Technically, he's a two-fer, since Mark Hamill also played as Luke Skywalker.
well yeah your ass can't think
You can see with your ass 🤨
David Tennant seemed like an ERB fan
He is a theatre kid ofc he would be.
David and Georgia Tennant are much more online than people realise they are
@@Spermwhales93THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE
this is bizarrely well researched
This ⬆️ I thought this would be a lazy list video. Not at all! Great stuff.
@@LucasBenderChannelI need this dude when I'm trying to find a funny post I saw that just randomly appeared in my head. How the he even get a screenshot of a deleted UA-cam comment?
he definitely took most of it from the wiki lol
@ hey buddy, they got homophobic slurs for people like you
I FUCKING KNOW YOU RAT RONALD.
Do you think Nice Peter and EpicLLOYD know about their own battle?
@@erickmartinez5631 Possibly.
Lets put that one in "probably knows", there is just not much evidence.
Nice Peter does, he actually really liked it and said he would have played himself if they'd asked him
they definitely know about it. it came to me in a dream
@@absoIute-Iy this is like a "source: trust me bro"
i trust you
"I'm in one! 😀"
You don't even need to look at him, you can hear his smile!''
2:47
he sounded so happy loll 😭
5:12 I like how both Bill and Neil agree that Bill won that rap battle
Thats not what was said? Bill said he shouldve won, and sarcastically said he won in the reddit AMA, Tyson then said he shouldve won and shouldve been invited to ERB himself
@@WingMaster562 Bill said he DID win. Tyson said he SHOULD'VE won, implying he thought Bill's rap was better than his.
@slosh7072 when neil degrasse said 'he should've won' I'm pretty sure he meant himself in the battle. Since it's not him playing the role, he likely said 'he' instead of 'I' because of this.
but... im pretty sure at least bill meant newton won? he's the clear favorite among random people.
bill also said "he's _only_ isaac newton" which implies (since the tone of the whole message was sarcastic) that he thinks newton won
and neil just said he didn't win, he didn't say anything about who actually won among the other two
@SeanSMST he actually does say "I"
"well, first of all, I thought I should've won." 5:17
Although it's likely he didn't see it, I understand that Socrates PREDICTED the battle and is famously quoted as saying "The ancient Oracle said that I was the wisest of all the Greeks. It is because I alone, of all the Greeks, know that I know nothing about Chinese philosophers..."
I'm not sure if this is true or a joke. If it is, damn Socrates dissed his fellow philosophers even when he was alive.
@@AlexeiZagaiciuc Yes, it's a joke. The actual quote doesn't have the "about Chinese philosophers" part and simply reflects that understanding that knowledge must be open to question since it's sources are never 100% reliable is itself wisdom.
Mark Hamill, an actor known for many roles but most notably, well someone else than the Joker I'd say
@@unodinoi9478 Haha, good point. As far as I know from my research, he said nothing about Harry Potter vs Luke Skywalker.
@@JowensYT still a great video mate
Yeah the kid in Corvette Summer
Oh hey, that's the Cockknocker
No, he's Skips from Regular Show and nothing else
The David Tennant bit makes me wonder if he knows about Death Battle doing Rick Sanchez vs The Doctor. I mean, probably not, but if he found ERB important enough to mention unprompted then there's definitely a chance
I'd say Death Battle is about as famous as ERB these days, so I wouldn't be surprised if he knew about it.
Well now I need a Death Battle follow up video
I love how David Tenet just completely derails the conversation to talk about ERB. What a legend
For the Terminator one, there's a line where he says "You peel away my perfect skin, you find supercomputers" and they show a Terminator arm in stop motion. That's the actual prop from the movie, loaned to ERB as part of the collab.
Yeah, that was cool to learn in the BTS
I heard somewhere that the RoboCop suit is also one of the actual props from the movie, but I don’t know if that’s 100% true.
@@leafster_02 Could check the BTS for it
@@leafster_02not the actual suit. It was one that was given to them by another UA-camr who used it in a skit
Man, I wasn't expecting that Grant Imahara had seen his ERB. Got me so suddenly emotional since his passing. It's nice to know that he saw it and liked it, though. RIP Grant Imahara.
David Tennant knowing the Doctor was in ERB is actually super cool
When Doctor Who knows about you, you literally go down in history.
Not for nothing, but I might have a possible contribution to the tier list...
Months ago, I got to meet Peter Weller (the original RoboCop actor) at a fan convention, and out of curiosity, I asked him if he had seen the "Terminator vs. RoboCop" battle. He hadn't, but his assistant knew about it, and she explained it to him, "It's a video where the Terminator and the RoboCop make fun of each other while rapping." She even told him, "I'll text it to you." This encounter was three months ago as I write this, and I don't know if Peter ever did see the battle, but I think it's safe to say he likely knows about it, assuming he didn't forget about it and was reminded about the battle later.
Also, great video! In all honesty, I'd LOVE to see some full breakdowns of all the rap battles in the future.
That's very interesting. I've also seen people say that they've met Jon Heder at conventions and he's said something similar. Perhaps I'll make an addendum to this video at some point.
3:15 alright I already knew David was the coolest but this just solidifies it
If I was running for President, I’d have my opponent and I be in an ERB against each other.
3:50 There is no way that barron didnt show him those
he might've been too young at the time.
@@GudRace1492 He's like 18 now so, no, not really
@@GudRace1492nah me and barron r around the same age and i was watching ERB back in 2012-2013 when i was like 6 and 7
This video reminded me of old youtube where people posted trivial but well made and researched videos like this all the time but I was shocked when I saw your subcount after finishing it, definitely underappreciated. Great work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
more erb content yayy
@@fightmarker Hi fightmarker. I'm a big fan of your rap battles.
It always amazes me just how popular the series was in its heyday. I joined the community in 2022, and I just can’t imagine ERB being significant enough for a celebrity to see themself.
It’s a shame, really, but it doesn’t mean that whatever they’re currently cooking can’t turn out just as great. (I’d argue that the most recent seasons have been the best)
Thanks for making this video! It’s really well put together!
as someone who used youtube back when they were in season 1 or 2, they were HUGE. There wasn't thousands of people with professional recording studios in their house back then. Compared to other content, the production value and effort put into the videos was insane

@@Golden_Aquila it's Donald trump Vs Ebeenezer Scrooge from ERB

Davud Tennant insistance to make everyone understand he was IN the battle is the cutest thing.
Really love this video, truly a delight the algorithm has bestowed upon me. Didn’t know a lot of this, it’s really cool!
Thank you so much!
I dunno if this counts, but Bruce Wayne made a public statement on the Sherlock Holmes vs. Batman one, insinuating that he was, in fact, Batman.

Wow this channel is so underrated
@brysonheslop4852 Thanks!
To add to Adam Savage knowing about his ERB "appearance", he has confirmed via twitter, that he loved it.

@@jonakarkive Wow, that's really interesting food for thought. It's also possible that some of the actors who played the characters have seen their ERBs, such as Bryan Cranston (Walter White) or Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool).
(seen?) is wild💀
Now i’m wondering if Kim Jong il knew about it 😂
I'm surprised Kim Jong Un hasn't appeared.
You're forgetting James Earl Jones. He's dead now but he could have seen hitler vs darth vader
Snoop Dog was in Moses vs Santa claus
He wasn't in a rap battle, as in a character on ERB
Based stronghold pfp
Ok and? It wasn't "Snoop Dogg vs Santa Claus" it was "Moses vs Santa Claus"
To those objecting to this, that would disqualify Pewdiepie too
I think it still counts. Some of Moses lines were clear references to snoop dogg himself
I not sure if being the voice of the Joker is Hamill's MOST notable work. You might wanna Luke into it
3:28 missed oppertunity to collaborate with mozart
Great video, man. I’ve always wondered about this stuff
thank you for making this video been curious about this
OMG! This is absolutely a video I wanted to see, thanks for making this
Elon TOTALLY watched it considering the type of person he is.
Autism ftw
what? an absolute knobhead?
Im suprised you have less than 1k subscribers right now but its definitley gonna change after this video, also well researched and edited!
Trump did see trump vs biden. I saw his comment and he said "trump 2020"
Wait he has a youtube channel
@@Bruh-tw8uhyea he does
I think he also made a post advertising about the next rap battle saying if he was in it he'd win again.
I was literally just wondering this exact thing and then your video comes up on my feed
how did i manage to live my entire life without once wondering if they still made ERB, not only that but how have i NEVER seen one since being a kid, this is crazy.
I'd highly recommend checking ERB out again. It's just as good, if not better, than it was a decade ago.
@@JowensYTImo, the battles have become a bit less funny over the years, but have become better raps, so it depends on which one you prefer from ERB whether you will like the new seasons or not
6:26 is really stinks that Gordon's comment was deleted
That Trump tweet got me rolling. Imagine him tweeting stuff like that now
I can 1000% see him tweeting this now.
"My first act as president is to make more tweets about epic rap battles"
- Trump
amazing video with deep research
GOATed video
Now this is a Christmas gift. Thank you. And Merry Christmas to everyone.
I can't believe Karl Marx hasn't tweeted about his battle, that shit was fire
Thanks for making this video! I always asked myself that.
2:50 Scrooge McDuck mentions ERB in an interview ❤️ heartwarming
Cool to see so many big names appriciating their appearances.
Amazing video
I recall seeing a twitter post from Elon Musk about how he "totally beat Suckerberg", so I'm pretty sure he knows.
Some people say it might have been faked?
saying Mark Hamil is known for his Joker VA vs being Luke goddamn Skywalker is wild
unfortunately its not like they chose to delete it, UA-cam implemented a feature without telling people that automatically deletes comments longer than a few months to a year, you have to manually turn it off in settings
What????
what???
@@alejandroo.2358 goated pfp
@groimps thanks!!
I'm still amazed that they not only got Snoop Dogg to appear in a battle, but he appeared as one of the rappers
Bro this video made me so happy. The internet was more close, one hit and you could end up meeting the EEUU president. And i like that everyone liked and seemed that they enjoyed being included. This video really hit near home
Don’t forget that the official Wendy’s channel had commented in the ERB for Ronald McDonald vs the Burger King!
Oh yeah that's right, he did forget this one
what a great great well made video! instant subscribe!!

"Love it. That's Weird Al himself Newtonising… and they're imitating me. I mean that's as immitationally flattering as it gets. I admit though, I'm not sure why I would be battling Isaac Newton rather than sitting down to share an apple and some peanut butter." - Bill Nye
Where's the quote from?
@SamariJD from an AMA he did on Reddit years ago
@SamariJD it was from an AMA he did
I once watched a Facebook livestream Lloyd was hosting. Someone asked if Obama liked the rap battle, and Lloyd's response was something like, "Well... I called his wife a female Patrick Ewing, so he probably didn't appreciate that."
“An actor known for many roles, most notably the joker”
Yeah…that’s totally his most iconic role
It's a debatable statement but it isn't off base or outlandish
@@NikkyElsocome on... Ask 10 people what role they associate with Mark Hamill and maybe one would say the Joker.
"So we're starting with Adolf Hitler-"
Surprises me that there’s never been a celebrity that’s played themselves
Neil would've been the first if they knew they could reach out to him
Nah, I assume ERB does it on purpose as an unspoken rule XD Can’t stop celebrities from portraying other things, though
These are greattt i forgot about so many of these
Ok but Skrillex performing his role is actually so cool
3:47 ah dang they had three other battles and still didn’t use that line! Funnily enough it wasn’t as likely for there to be a “next time” back then!
Great video and informative at it too
👍
6:55 Wait, THATS PEWDIEPIE…
I know right
Do celebrities who've seen themselves in fan made epic rap battles
I wonder if Guy Fawkes saw his rap battle against Joker
Or Uncle Sam in the ERBP against Captain America.
Off the top of my head:
Drake Bell (oof) watched ERBP’s Drake and Josh vs Blues Brothers and I think posted about it on Facebook
Chris Bores and Doug Walker watched ERBP’s AVGN vs Irate Gamer (not sure how true this one is though)
Markiplier watched VGRB’s PewDiePie vs Tobuscus 2 and leaved a comment
YandereDev (ew) watched VGRB’s Hello Neighbor vs Yandere Simulator and leaved a comment that now seems deleted (Michaela Laws leaved a comment too but cuz she was in the battle lol)
ScreamerClauz watched ERBoC’s Where the Dead Go to Die vs Mr. Pickles, tweeted about it and leaved a comment
Pyrocynical watched Freshy Kanal’s Pyrocynical vs Memeluous and leaved a comment
Trevor Henderson watched Freshy Kanal’s Trevor Henderson vs Corpse Husband but apparently he disliked being portrayed in a rap battle and asked for him and his characters to not be portrayed again
Alex Hirsch watched Animation vs Anything’s Grunkle Stan vs Saul Goodman and tweeted about it
Wait damn how did I forget these two
Jacksfilms watched Snakebite’s Jacksfilms vs MatPat and made an entire video reacting to it
MrBeast (oof) met Skitzy dressed as MrBeast and has referenced the meme in some of his videos so it can be expected that he has watched Freshy Kanal’s MrBeast vs Squid Game at this point
People know Mark Hamill for the joker?
... You all know he was Luke Skywalker, right? 😅
Can’t wait for Ghandis reaction!
I remember seeing a thing in Das Kapital saying that marx thought his fight was pretty tight and think he won.
Skrillex is just chill like that. Great guy
6:26 maybe not deleted, but rather not showing in top anymore, as UA-cam has this problem to not show most liked comments or comments of people with a check mark.
Find the comment then
@@clonetrooper2003 i won't waste my time on this. if you need this, find yourself
I wish we would've seen Gordon Ramsay reacting to his battle with Julia Child
FIRE video idea great work
I can't beleive Mozart didn't comment about his ERB
7:14 I think that Mark Hamil's role as Luke Skywalker was sliiiiiiiiiiiiightly more known than his role as the joker
not putting weird al in the list is a crime
Only because we haven’t had anyone play Weird Al in a battle yet
You forgot weird al yankovic…
There should probably be a heresay tier but good video
Bro just said Mark Hamil was most known for the Joker, definitely not more known than Luke Skywalker. 💀
You forgot snoop dogg in moses vs santa
Didn't Elon post about the battle, I remember reading that in the comments
David Tennant is such a class act
Weird Al alone won that battle against Neil and Bill.
It was very close imo, but I think Neil won
Yo this vid started playing while i was sleeping because of autoplay and I literally just woke up to 1:44 like WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON 😭😭😭😭💀
nah the guy doing his obama impression to obama fucking killed me.
