My vote goes to Seuss, even though Shakespeare's second verse was just crazy.

The Epic Level Bard always wins.

Plus, his second round was just insane.

The emotions of others can seem like such well guarded mysteries, people 8egin to 8elieve that's how their own emotions should 8e treated.

Sorry, Shakey, but your second verse wasn't quite enough to make up for being set to school in the first. I have to give it to Seuss.

Genghis Khan vs Easter Bunny was such a Curb-Stomp Battle.

In whose direction?

Genghis Khan basically ate the rabbit for breakfast.

[up]Wait, which?

I was really torn on Napoleon vs Napoleon because each was rapping about the other. So I liked Bonaparte's character/acting, but Dynamite's rap better.

Even though Napoleon Bonaparte wasn't that short.

Okay, here's the deal with Napoleon, he was 5 foot 6.5 inches in present day measures. Due to the French system that was used back then, it recorded him as 5 feet 2 inches and when this fact was discovered, it went for a long time without being converted to the english, present day system. He also always had himself surrounded by the tallest, most intimidating bodyguards possible, so he was often surrounded by men who were over six feet which made him look shorter in comparison so when he was painted with them, he looked puny.

And that's how history conspires to retroactively make you a midget.

And considering the average height back then, that was even a bit taller than average.

I think my favorite is Dr. Seuss versus Shakespeare.

The newest (Seuss vs Shakey) wasn't that good. sad The fast rap was pretty cool, but not funny.

I just like it because of who the characters were. It just, made sense to have a rap battle between poets/writers. I don't really care that much about the funny, mostly just the fun, honestly.

The last one was my favorite as well. I definitely don't watch these for the funny, but the Ear Worm-iness.

I like the random ones. It gets the creativity going more instead of harping on each other's works, as expected.

[up]I think there might be as many people who would get that as the number who get Ben Franklin vs. Billy Mays.

^ No. Definitely not. Ben Franklin and Billy Mays are far more well-known than them.

Which is kind of sad, seeing as those two are legends as far as swords are concerned.

[up][up]Not talking about whether or not people will recognize who they are. I meant probably as many people would get why that match-up was chosen.

My favourite is Easter Bunny VS Genghis Khan...Mostly because it was totally made on crack. Most of them are really sweet and fun, even if some jokes fall flat...

Someone suggested Dr Jekyll and Mr Hide VS Bruce Banner and The Hulk...And I agree that would be freakin' awesome.

Look upon my R.O.U.S., ye mighty, and despair!

My favourite is Gendalf vs Dumbledore and Albert Einstein vs Stephen Hawking.

If a chicken crosses the road and nobody else is around to see it, does the road move beneath the chicken instead?
