* There are a ''lot'' of comments saying that J. Robert Oppenheimer may be the best character performance ERB has ever done. Peter absolutely nails the haunted, distant, joyless nature of a [=post-WW2=] Oppenheimer and the 1950s television sound distortion and the rather ominous background tone really drive home the whole impact. It also helps that Oppenheimer's verses were both incredible-sounding and filled with many a GeniusBonus, and he was pit against a relatively-disappointing ComicBook/{{Thanos}}. There's even a persistent rumor that the video was seen by another member of the Manhattan Project, who agreed the portrayal was spot-on.
* Lara Croft definitely won a lot of fans over from the very first verse alone. Being portrayed by the very gorgeous Croix Provence - whose performance is likewise on point, especially with her facial expressions and British accent - definitely helps. Even better that she switches costumes throughout the battle as a reference to Lara's various designs throughout the ''Franchise/TombRaider'' series.

* As far as portrayers go, Zach Sherwin is beloved for his mind-blowing wordplays, and he has portrayed the most characters besides Peter and Lloyd. Watsky is also popular for his fast rapping, with many wishing he would make a return to the series.

* [[spoiler:Michael Bay's appearance]] in "Spielberg vs Hitchcock", where his raps are agreed on as some of the weakest in the battle (his first verse is pretty much just how much he's all about MoneyDearBoy, and the second about how he doesn't care about his critics), but the cinematography and effects are praised as excellent. [[spoiler:[[DontExplainTheJoke In other words, Michael Bay's rap segment was just like a Michael Bay movie.]]]]

* Juliet from the Romeo and Juliet vs. Bonnie and Clyde. Her rapping segments are the most popular for how hilarious and [[MemeticMutation memetic]] they are, and if youtube and wikia comments are to be believed, then Juliet ''alone'' won the rap.

* Cast-wise, Xin Wuku's stunts get a lot of love.

* Lump the wiener dog appeared in the "Bob Ross vs. Pablo Picasso" battle for all but 1 second, but he's one of the most popular cameos in the ERB series. His wiki page has 92 comments, showing that this minor character had sparked more discussion than many of the actual rappers (including the "stars" of the battle he appeared in -- Bob Ross and Pablo Picasso -- themselves).

* Nikola Tesla. His battle with Thomas Edison was one of the most requested rap battles up until they fought. He also is one of the few battlers to be overwhelmingly considered by fans to have curb stomped his opponent.

%%** Also, [[spoiler: Quentin Tarantino.]]

* Bruce Banner/The Hulk. Even though his battle was very one-sided in favor of Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner, the vast majority of voters on both the [[http://epicrapbattlesofhistory.wikia.com/wiki/Bruce_Banner_vs_Bruce_Jenner#Poll Wiki]] and the [[http://www.erboh.com/forum/showthread.php?14077-Bruce-Banner-vs-Bruce-Jenner-Discussion forum]] consider him the winner.

* Music/TPain deliberately dials back on the AutoTune, delivering a very entertaining and popular take on Music/StevieWonder.

* Beethoven, although this is mostly due to his opponent being [[TheScrappy Justin Bieber]].
* To quote a comment about Carlin vs Pryor, [[spoiler:Robin Williams]] won the battle just by entering it. This was a result of audience's sympathy for the real-life person (he was added to the battle due to fan demand!) and Lloyd's excellent performance.
%%* [[spoiler: Lenin and Putin]] in Stalin vs Rasputin.
%%* Doctor Who, [[spoiler: especially when he turned into the Fourth Doctor.]]

* [[spoiler:Michael Bay's appearance]] in "Spielberg vs Hitchcock", where his raps are agreed on as some of the weakest in the battle (his first verse is pretty much just how much he's all about MoneyDearBoy, and the second about how he doesn't care about his critics), but the cinematography and effects are praised as excellent.

* The most popular "cameo" is, without question, Lump -- Picasso's wiener dog who appeared for all but 1 second in the "Bob Ross vs. Pablo Picasso" battle. Its wikia page has a surprisingly large amount of content, and with 92 comments on that page, it has attracted more discussion than some of the actual rappers that have been featured in the series.

* Juliet from the Romeo and Juliet vs. Bonnie and Clyde. Her rapping segments are the most popular for how hilarious and [[MemeticMutations memetic]] they are, and if youtube and wikia comments are to be believed, then Juliet ''alone'' won the rap.
