Moleman's Epic Rap Battles

Moleman's Epic Rap Battles is an amateur multimedia project created and managed by one Molemanninethousand (alternatively Moleman9000) and explicitly based on the professional Epic Rap Battles of History. This series, like its inspiration, pits various characters, against one another, almost all of them in this case being fictional and most being deemed unfit for inclusion in the real ERB, so as to make the matchups unique and unlikely to be found anywhere else.

The playlist of all videos in the series can be found here, a directory of lyrics and cover images here, and an under-construction wikia here.

Special: Moleman's Epic Rap Battles News with The Once-ler

37. Ralph Bakshi Vs. Don Bluth


 * Acceptable Targets: Scientology.
 * Actor Allusion: Used frequently for one-off lines, but also leads to actual appearances by Steve Urkel and Tina Turner. It is also part of the premise for Elsa Vs. Elphaba.
 * Affably Evil: Hans is demonstrated to play this straight, more-so than what can safely be said of the character's canonical version based solely on what Frozen itself shows him doing.
 * Mustapha Mond is another example, in his case lifted directly from the original story.
 * A Lighter Shade of Black: Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn to Audrey II and its brood, Hans to Arthas the Lich King, and Mustapha Mond to Big Brother/Napoleon.
 * Anyone Can Die: See Killed Off for Real below.
 * Author Appeal: A major factor in selecting the characters/series featured.
 * A Wild Rapper Appears: More frequently mid-battle than in Epic Rap Battles of History.
 * Back for the Dead:.
 * Back for the Finale: Many characters at the end of Shinji Ikari Vs. Rorschach, in a parody to the ending of the former's series.
 * Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work:.
 * The Bad Guy Wins: Usually averted, as an outside force or other contrivance will usually thwart the Heel even when they legitimately have the upper hand (See: Nigel Uno Vs. Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Poison Ivy Vs. Audrey II and Elsa Vs. Elphaba). And Sting Vs. Big Brother is specifically built around finally averting the most egregious case of this trope EVER.
 * Badass Baritone: Gaston specifically boasts of this.
 * Batman Grabs a Gun: Aslan killed the White Witch in the original story, yes, but he didn't use freaking sniper rifles! Also, Judge Dredd's Token Good Teammate Anderson wholeheartedly supports the execution with extreme prejudice of Big Brother and O'Brien.
 * Big Damn Heroes: James Bond at the end of Nigel Uno Vs. Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and Batman, even though he doesn't make an official appearance as a speaking character, in the epilogue of "Poison Ivy Vs. Audrey II".
 * See also Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work just above.
 * Black and Gray Morality: Poison Ivy Vs. Audrey II, with the former portrayed as more of an environmentalist Anti-Villain than usual.
 * Black Comedy / Crosses the Line Twice: More-so than ERB.
 * Mister Ed's second verse takes the cake.
 * Bond Villain Stupidity: Blofeld seems prepared to finally avert this at the end of his second verse, only to be killed by James Bond.
 * Canon Welding: Prince Hans is related to the Lannisters, and Big Brother is.
 * Card-Carrying Villain: Audrey II openly spells out that he is a Complete Monster, as does Big Brother.
 * In a lesser case, Hans refers to himself as "villainous" at one point.
 * Comic Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: A variation: many characters who are better known by aliases are known by their real names here, including Nigel Uno, Adrian Veidt, Simon Petrikov and so forth.
 * Character Exaggeration: This is the reason is designated with such a title, to distinguish him from an accurate, rounded representation of the person he is based on.
 * Composite Character: Ernst Stavro Blofeld makes a couple references to lines or actions of other Bond villains.
 * Discord is.
 * Creator's Pet: Elmo is called out as this by Tigger.
 * For MERB itself: Hans and Sally Acorn.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: Ned Flanders Vs. Clay Puppington is the biggest culprit. The Announcer even says outright who won.
 * Curse Cut Short: Several, often overlapping with Last-Second Word Swap.
 * Denser and Wackier: Compared to the real Epic Rap Battles of History.
 * Darker and Edgier: Ned Flanders Vs. Clay Puppington is proclaimed to be this at its conclusion.
 * Deconstruction: This trope is the basis for Shinji Ikari Vs. Rorschach.
 * Disc One Final Boss: Inspector Javert in Judge Dredd Vs. Judge Judy and Jadis the White Witch in Elsa Vs. Elphaba
 * Disney Villain Death:.
 * Decoy Protagonist: Elphaba is given the more dramatic announcement at the start of her battle with Elsa and quickly gains the upper hand, but becomes irrelevant to the remainder of the story as soon as Hans is reintroduced.
 * Don't Fear the Reaper: Death of the Endless, Death of Discworld and "Joe Black" all play this angle straight; the rest of the Deaths are more-or-less Necessarily Evil, except for the last one in the battle, who inverts this.
 * The Dragon: O'Brien, who fortunately doesn't last long
 * Driven to Suicide:
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Many of the characters used are known for being this in regards to their native works.
 * Eviler Than Thou: Death to every one of its counterparts and.
 * Evil Versus Evil: Gaston Vs. Hans and Gruntilda Vs. Handsome Jack.
 * Fair For Its Day: Invoked by Hammurabi regarding his code.
 * Giant Space Flea From Nowhere: shows up in the middle of Sally Acorn Vs. Mega Man 2 for literally no reason whatsoever.
 * Godzilla Threshold: A literal example when Flandre Scarlet is summoned against the trope namer himself.
 * Gory Discretion Shot: Ganon provides this (from an actual pig-slaughtering) at the end of Sting Vs. Big Brother.
 * Hate Sink: Clay Puppington, L. Ron Hubbard and Big Brother.
 * Historical Domain Character: Hammurabi and.
 * Impaled with Extreme Prejudice:.
 * Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Simon the Ice King and Mr. Freeze.
 * Inspector Javert: The Trope Namer himself shows up in Judge Dredd Vs. Judge Judy.
 * Interactive Narrator: The Announcer is much more talkative than in the real ERB, his lines even being in verse on occasion.
 * Killed Mid-Sentence: Happens to Audrey II, Nightmare and Syndrome; in the former's words:
 * ''"What, was that supposed to blow me up? Supposed to make me explode in mid-sent-" *KABOOM*
 * Killed Off for Real: Numerous characters, although most died in their original stories to begin with. However, is the most notable victim of Death By Adaptation here.
 * Last-Second Word Swap: Many occurrences; often, both what would have been said and what replaces it fit as rhymes.
 * Made of Explodium: Those characters who die tend to do so in this manner. Javert and Brundlefly are both described as "explod(ing) for no reason" in the scripts for their battles.
 * Magnificent Bastard: Prince Hans is played up as this.
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Had the Lich King not shown up when he did, Elsa would have murdered Hans.
 * Non Standard Character Design: All three rappers in Michael Rosen Vs. Jim Dale as well as are voiced through Youtube Poop-style sentence-mixing.
 * Orcus on His Throne:.
 * Off to See the Wizard: Done subtly in Elsa Vs. Elphaba, with.
 * One-Winged Angel: Parodied with Big Brother's Humungous Mecha form.
 * Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Tina Turner, just in time for Mad Max to go apeshit.
 * Sensory Abuse: Of the "Ear Rape" variety, unfortunately, unintentionally and admittedly so, in most of the earlier episodes; Panty and Stocking Vs. The Powerpuff Girls arguably suffers from this the worst. Recent videos have improved on this, though sound quality is still less-than-stellar.
 * Shut Up, Kirk: Big Brother to Sting after the latter attempts to appeal to a sense of basic decency.
 * Small Name, Big Ego: The creator is a self-admitted case, including for making this very page himself.
 * Stuff Blowing Up: A rather drawn-out sequence consisting of this is triggered by V in Sting Vs. Big Brother.
 * Synthetic Voice Actor: See Non Standard Character Design above.
 * The Bad Guy Wins: Elsa Vs. Elphaba ends with a non-Downer Ending case of this.
 * "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Most of Ned Flanders' lines comprise this. Daria's last verse also has shades of this.
 * Token Evil Teammate: in Sting Vs. Big Brother.
 * Token Good Teammate: Aslan alongside Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains Ice King and Mr. Freeze on Affably Evil sociopath Hans' ragtag entourage..
 * Took a Level In Jerkass: Many characters, somewhat necessarily so due to the belligerent nature of the series.
 * Ur Example: Invoked by name by Hammurabi.
 * Villain Protagonist: Hans is in fact the main character of "Elsa Vs. Elphaba".
 * Would Hurt a Child: Panty spells this out to the PPGs.
 * Youtube Poop: Besides Michael Rosen Vs. Jim Dale, Ganon's "DIE!" is a Running Gag.
 * Zombie Apocalypse: Tyrion Lannister warns of a particularly nasty version of this that would send even all of fiction's most hardened zombie-slayers over the Despair Event Horizon.
