Responses to suggestions in an ERB News

    • Uncle Sam vs Mother Russia (very. broad.)
    • Eddie Vedder vs Kurt Cobain ft. Dave Grohl (interesting, we've seen Kurt vs Jimi Hendrix a lot, but never this)
    • Alexander Hamilton vs Aaron Burr (now we're talking, a little stiff for an ERB, but love the real life rivalry now and then)
    • Osama bin Laden vs Chuck Norris (hilarious. we've always thought Bin Laden is just too touchy, people get so aggro on both sides, plus Chuck Norris would just own)
  • In a Nice Peter Podcast with Rhett & Link, Peter asked what duo they should be next and Link responded with Ben & Jerry. Peter then responded with the matchup of Ben & Jerry vs Barnum & Bailey, while Link said Ben & Jerry vs the Ringling Brothers.[1]

    • Another suggestion he replied to that day was Fredo Corleone vs Jeb Bush, with "It’s a fun idea, good characters, but I don’t know if either could muster the strength to hold it together. It seems like a battle between these two might end with them both getting upset and walking away :)"[5]
    • He also approved of Alex Jones vs Frank Zappa.
  • On October 11th, 2018, Peter responded to Mao Zedong vs Fidel Castro, saying the suggestion is "pretty good" and that they have always wanted to have Castro yet "always struggled with a matchup for" him. He also said he "likes [the suggestion] more and more".[6]

  • On a Reddit post that suggested Tim Burton vs H. P. Lovecraft, Peter responded with "We're listening."[8]

Characters:

  • A comment on YouTube suggested that ERB do a battle with George S. Patton in it, such as Patton vs Erwin Rommel. ERB replied with: "now that is up my alley. I am reading the world's most boring book at the moment. it's a training guide for military officers that breaks down Rommel's manouvers battle by battle. Something about Rommel fascinates me. It's a little deep for an ERB right now, but I'll definitely think about that. and Patton rules. hmm.… I'm getting an idea… they call Rommel the desert fox, he could possibly go up against.… another guy with an animal nickname…and then Patton could… hmmmm…"
  • According to a blog on Peter's site, Peter says Dr. House may be too late but after a few comments, he says: "I am mildly, if not completely obsessed with Dr. House at the moment, so anything is possible".[9]
    • He has also stated this regarding choosing potential candidates for battles: "The challenge […] is being able to make something which our audience can at least understand. […] The best scenario, to me, is to use characters that anyone can understand why they are important, whether or not they know going into it what they are all about. Hippocrates is great example for that. He's a baller, not that many people, including me, know many details about his life, but that just gives us an opportunity to find it out in research, and then put it together into a rap that can educate while being entertaining. Anyway, that's the goal." This may suggest a possible appearance of Hippocrates.
  • Buddy Holly is great, but there are many others to choose from.
  • Peter mentioned in a livestream with Tom Green that if Eminem ever wanted to be in an ERB, he would have him portray someone known for having a way with words, such as Karl Marx or Aristotle.
  • At their concert in Los Angeles, a stop on their 2015 World Tour, Lloyd mentioned how Peter was looking into the Three Musketeers.
  • At a concert on their World Tour in Burnsville, Minnesota, Lloyd stated he was open to the idea of Pee-Wee Herman in a battle.
  • In a livestream, Peter revealed that they have discussed the appearance of a Disney princess in a battle.
  • Dante has stated on the ERB Fan Discord that he loves Venom, but ERB would "need like, a million dollars to do Venom well".
  • When Dragonsblood23 asked about Ted Bundy in a future ERB on Twitter, Dante replied with "I honestly hope not", however later followed with "then again, it all depends on the matchup".
  • On a Reddit post for Taylor Swift vs Ariana Grande, Peter replied with "We were just sitting here talking about Ariana grande a minute ago - finding an opponent has been tough". [10]

 

Actors:

  • ERB tweeted and later posted on Faceboook about Chali 2na's new video saying "Really diggin this new @Chali2na video! What do you think of us bringing him back to play the Allstate guy?"[11][12]
  • While Peter likes the idea of getting the Vlogbrothers to guest in an ERB, he mentioned that they were some of the busiest people he knew and they would be hard to get.
