J. R. R. Tolkien vs George R. R. Martin. ERB Behind the Scenes 

Idk why but seeing him record the ERB intro was weirdly satisfying

When lloyd when transforming to george r r martin. He was starting to look like alfred hitchcock

I've always wondered who the guy was that did the announcer for ERB. Now I know it's Nice Peter.

I like how they cast their Jon Snow by finding the best cosplayer.

I love these BTS vids because they show all the little attentions to detail and give you a greater appreciation when you go back and watch the battle

that match trick was brilliant!

I love how Peter was putting so much style and force into the narrator's voice. Was sick.

What, no Sean Bean guest role? Both authors did a helluva job creating doomed characters for him to play.

I didn't even notice the tree branch effect the first time, but that was awesome.

Han Solo vs Indiana Jones, both played by Epic Lloyd!

Never realized how much work went into these.

I miss the heroin joke

Music and lyrics (which were great) aside, you guys were really creative with this one. The match scene with Tolkien had a great feel to it, and the stick-to-tree scene change has got to be one of my favorites in the entire series.

You should have addressed the fact that George can't finish his books before their fan gets bored.

I swear one day Peter will give himself a hernia just doing the intro!

I expect "Booya, it's pizza time!" to become a meme by the end of the week

0:13 the way he shouts " MAAAARTTIIIIIIIIN " Is the best thing ever.

Both the tree branch and the lighting of the match were real visual highlights in this battle. It is impressive just how good the production values and the creativity is in these videos. This one and the battle of the philosophers and Ghostbusters are my favourites so far.

booya it's pizza time

I didn't even prepare my body

The hours it takes to put on the fat makeup on Lloyd is so worth it. Especially when you did Alfred Hitchcock. I usually have no idea that it's him until I hear the voice.

Voice actors/voice over performer are really into their role.

I miss Llyods "Wanna buy some heroin" joke. 😭

Who goes here right after the battle

Tolkien took the game. How about Kylo Ren vs Loki?

the music in this episode is one of the best since a long long time !! :) BRAVO !!

Living for this battle! I needed this so badly! You guy's are back and I am so ready. At least it shows that patience can pay off!

Yay! Season 5 👍🏽 I'm so happy

I would watch the 1 hour video of you guys drafting each line and your reactions at your genius.

Lucifer from Lucifer vs Lucifer from Supernatural!

I love how there's so much creativity in the transitions between each rap.

Should have had Steve Zaragoza come and play George RR Martin.

When I saw the new battle on my sub box, I squealed so hard that I nearly passed out of all the fanboying I did.. anyways holy shit! manly beard of Nicepeter.. his beard has to have a name.. that awesome thing has too.. I fookin bloody want it ;D

BOOYA BOOYA BOOYA It's pizza time!

Wonderful job. Amazing the details you guys put into these. This one is definitely my favorite. Wish you'd make some more.

that was a brilliant, perfectly timed, selection

Still amazes how big this got that there's this all studio for it. Awesome job! :)

it's pizza time

With that sort of makeup on Peter and a wheelchair, he could play a fine FDR, which would be fantastic for an FDR VS Teddy Roosevelt battle if that ever happened

1:31 Aye Lloyd, Back at it again with that Alfred Hitchcock Look XD

It's amazing to see how much effort they put into this.

I waited 4 months until the next season, I jumped around when this came up!!!

Nicki Minaj vs Ella Fitzgerald Harrison Ford vs Liam Neeson Rick Astley vs John Cena Ray Charles vs Stevie Wonder Bruce Banner vs Dr. Jekyll Willy Wonka vs Milton Hershey Matt Murdock vs Toph Beifong Nick Fury vs Amanda Waller Robin Hood vs Legolas vs Hawkeye vs Green Arrow vs Katniss Everdeen Will Smith vs Will Ferrell vs Will Arnette vs Will Forte vs Wil Wheaton

the weeks involved in a 3-4 minute video.. damn. You guys fucking rock! Thank you for making your content.. seriously, I complain about editing for an hour, you guys edit for a month or more... damn...

Literally squealed when saw ERB and ERB BTS on my subscriptions update! So excited for the new season! Welcome back, ERB!

Mike looks like he lost weight. He looks good.

I'M GLAD THEY ARE BACK THESE GUYS ARE MY FAVORITE CHANNEL I'M SO SIKED ABOUT SEASON 5 AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE INSTORED FOR US HAPPY RAPING AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK EPIC RAP BAATTTLEES OF HIIISSSSSTOOOOOORRRRRYYYYYY!!!!!!!

Is it me or does it feels like it won't be long till this channel hits a million subscribers?

I had no idea that nice Peter did those intros! I love it!

We need more male vs female battles

You're telling me that nice Peter is the announcer?!

The cinematography of these videos is absolutely astounding

I'd love to see more of the nitty gritty of editing that happens when editing your videos. The actual editing process seems really interesting and you guys look like you're using a whole different part of After Effects that I had no idea about.

How is ERB2 not as popular?? This is so fun to watch like holy shit!

First one of these I've actually watched, reaaaally cool

Can already tell season 5 is gonna be EPIC! (:

holy shit you guys put int a ton of details that go largely unnoticed. but that's why you guys are legends i reckon

great battle!!! looking forward to everything of season 5

Forrest Gump vs Rocky Balboa. Your move...creep. -Robocop.

10 hours of pizza time please

Although seeing the behind the scenes is awesome, I am mostly subscribed here so that I have 2 chances to be notified of an update through the broken RU-vid system. Success!

These guys should be earning millions on the kind of work and editing and shit they do to bring this shit to RU-vid

Whoever did the makeup did really, really spectacular. The gobbleneck and the liver spots looked really exceptional.

Super clever! :3 I love watching these behind the scenes stuff.

0:22 i was like Wait WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO HIS ARM

RIP glorious beard.

"overly dramatic music") May accept suggestions from others if I like them. Sorry about the limited historical figures. All the ones I know have pretty much been done by ERB. Hopefully, people will give me historical suggestions to add to my list. If you see something that ERB doesn't want to do, can you please tell me so I can remove it from the list? Please add proof like a video link or screenshot. There better not be any knock off channels stealing these ideas for their channels. These are for ERB only.

RIP heroin jokes

Do a Cpt. America Civil War themed DC vs. Marvel!

YES I KNEW WE COULD MAKE IT WE MADE IT TO 1,000,000 SUBSCRIBERS!!! Congratulations!

Brittany from the Bart Baker videos! Also, totally awesome video, dudes!

I would like to see more BTS of the rapping in the booths. Like on that BIll Gates and Steve Jobs one. That part interests me so much but we never see enough of it.

"Booyah! It's pizza time!" My new ringtone.

loved it. I totally lost it at the end "Booyah! It's pizza time!" lmao You all have way too much fun doing these. Loved the Gobble neck by the way. Let's just say it was "Epic" pun intended. Lastly I would like to know NICE PETER If you didn't have to shave. Would you prefer wearing a mustache and or beard????

"Go deeper" That's what she said.

Wow. Am I the only one who thinks ERB's make up artist (around 0:40) is really beautiful? Cause she is.

Great stuff, season will kick ass, I can tell already!

we missed u guys❤👍

Ferdinand Magellan versus B.O.B (tila tequila as his back up). Man who sailed around the world vs the flat earthers. That is if you even want to give them any kind of limelight. I don't blame you if you don't want to.

please zelda vs peach!!!!

Seeing as the ERBs are getting a lot more make-up heavy in recent years any chance you could show a more in depth look into some of the effects in future episodes? Creating face moulds, ageing actors drastically and it looking real, etc. Please Please. :)

Cheers to Season 5 baby!! Yes!!!

Stunning makeup on Nice Peter. He is so fucking old. AMAZING!!

The intro hype, every time. the goat

Oh man, after he killed Jon.... I guess we're all missing our dose of heroin!!

Yes season 5 boys

BoO ya Its PiZza TiMe

WELCOME BACK!!!! :DDDD 1:34 Look its Alfred Hitchcock! XD

God damn I missed you guys.

I still can't believe there was no joke about how both shows killed Sean Bean.

Kings, queens, dragons, dwarves, horses, fortresses, magic,m and swords!

Finally. Always wanted to know who and how they did the announcer voice at the start of the battles 😄

1:39 epicllyod looks like a fat voldemort XD

huge props for getting the ludwig drum kit for bonham during the led zeppelin part!!

I love the voice of that guy that introduce and end every battle

Pizza time, Pizza Time.. :D

I swear, Pete will bust a vein, or pull something doing the intro

You know, another connection is that "Game of Thrones" and "Lord of the Rings" both featured Sean Bean at first.
