We're all familiar with DeviantArt as the best place on the internet for crudely drawn pictures of Sonic The Hedgehog hit with a shrink ray and then eaten alive by the the girl in Lollipop Chainsaw. But did you know that DevaintArt also has a large archive of written work, such as poetry? And did you know that the great majority of that written work is terrible? Okay, I'm sure that second reveal wasn't much of a surprise, but we do have some in store for you. This week, Finland meets its match.

MUSIC USED:
King Missile - Sensitive Artist
Anthony Carmichael - I'm Rappin (from Look Around You series 2)

I honestly had to shut this episode off once you got into the rap battles.  The material was too embarrassing.

I was legitimately surprised that the Finland vs. Ulyses S. Grant battle didn't last an additional 20 minutes and close out the episode.

I can make it through the adult babies episode with no problem but there's something about nerds writing rap battles that is physically painful to listen to.

EDIT: oh my god that Acier burn

This episode makes me wonder if there's any inverse rap battles for socially awkward low-self-esteemers (and Lutherans) where the object is to make the other person win by talking them up and putting oneself down.

I'm kind of disappointed you guys didn't give this masterpiece a try:

My remade vorish version:

I want all the Pokemon to ingest
To taste their sweet Pokefuz
Then feel them inside me digest
To eat them is my cause

I will travel across the land
maw open wide
Eating pokemon who stood or ran
to feel them squirming inside

Pokemon! You’re a meal to me
I know you'll fill my belly,
Pokemon! Oh you're my best prey
of the whole hunt today,
Pokemon! a taste so new
My muscles will pull you through,

You’ll reach me and I’ll eat you,
Pokemon! Gotta vore  ‘em all!

All things considered, Epic Rap Battles isn't a high bar to jump. They check all the boxes, and they're simplistic enough that I would have thought you'd be able to at least learn the basics of rap from them, and that's about it. But evidently, that's not true. This is one of the episodes where you can see people fail at the simplest of challenges. They aren't even fitting these words to music, they're just writing them, and they're even worse at it than the SongWritingFever people. Hell, you'd think the one part of it they'd be good at is cramming references to the shit they're basing it on into it, but they can't even manage that.

For people who base their entire lives on being consumers of media, they suck at watching it.

I'll be honest, for a bit my attention wandered. These people were often bad in a very same-y way. Then that Ulysses Grant vs Amy Grant vs 10 other random things grabbed my attention back.

I think the singing and poetry stuff is best when it's not the whole episode. It gets a little repetitive and I fade out until something truly bugfuck crazy screams for attention.

I'll be Portaxx for a second here- They actually weren't spelling out "shamin'" phonetically, Shaymin is actually a Pokemon:

Except that rap battle was a) amazing and b) supposed to be a joke.

Seriously, though, those were the most nerdiest attempts at rap battles I have ever seen, and they couldn't even get the format of Epic Rap Battles right. This is why hug boxes and echo chambers will be outlawed in my dystopian internet future!

Yeah, the episode was kind of slow, but I liked the historical nod where King Herod dies of dickrot.

The guy who used 'history' weirdly was probably Russian. I've seen a lot of them get 'history' and 'story' backwards. I think there's some weirdness/confusion there regarding the Russian words.




Although it does explain a lot if all the people writing this shit are ESL.

I assumed it was a native Spanish (or similar) speaker; "historia" means "story" (in addition to "history") in Spanish and apparently some other languages, so it's easy to assume it's a cognate in English.

It seems like Lemon forgot to include the poetry document on episode page, so here it is (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1koc63454K53sH3YMsUke9Yn-DaBKymkdsV73l33wW3k)

By the way, the Shaymin poem was in the helpfully titled section "Poetry - Horror - Pokemon related poems" if anyone cares.

I'm glad someone else caught this. Josephus said Herod's "privy-member was putrefied, and produced worms" and he basically had gangrene of the taint.

edit: And the author deserves props for not confusing Herod the Great, Herod Antipas, Herod Archelaus, Herod Agrippa I, or Herod Agrippa II. (There were lots of Herods.)
