I love how Michael Bay was the only director not to insult any of the others, he just spent all of his time telling us how great he is.

I just realized that Michael Bay rhymes money with money like five times in a row, and then ends the rhyme scheme by saying "I don't give a fuck". Brilliant.

Micheal Bay is the only dude alive who can properly rhyme money with money

Michael Bay's verse is complete nonsense, yet the energy and special effects behind it makes it entertaining. Perfection.

Spielberg: im better than you Alfred Hitchcock: im better than you Steven Tarantino: im better than you both Kubrick: im better than all of you Bay: MOTHERFUCKING MONEY

The fact that Michael Bay rhymes "money" with "money" is very fitting for his style of movie direction.

Kubrick is the only one who took a while to get into the part where he actually raps, referencing how slowly-paced his movies are.

2:18 I like how all the directors are bored by what Kubrick says, except Alfred Hitchcock

What's great is that every director took a shot at Michael Bay and then Michael Bay came into the battle and just hyped himself up to the extreme

The Kubrick actor looks so fucking dead inside when he says "Do another take and get it right 127 times" it's so perfect

Cool that they resurrected Stanley Kubrick for his verse. Truly an homage to his perfectionist directing

I love how you can see Hitchcock act incredibly respectful when Kubrik comes into frame lmao

Michael Bay's verse was the equivalent of playing chess with a pigeon. Doesn't matter what the rules are, they just knock over all the pieces, and strut about like they won. It was fantastic

Michael Bay: rapping about how much money he makes Michael Bay net worth: 430 million Steven Spielberg net worth: 3.6 billion

Its great how when Tarantino disses Spielberg and calling him a failure, Spielberg is all like "Yeah, thats fair".

Bay's verse was so ridiculous but is easily one of my favourite things ERB has ever done.

I just realized the reason Kubrick is on the moon is because conspiracy theorists say he was the director who was hired to fake the moon landing.

Fun fact: They had the Stanley Kubrick actor do 127 takes for realism.

Steven Spielberg: most references Alfred Hitchcock: best mamma jamma who ever stood behind a camera Quinten Tarantino: best insults Kubrick: coolest bike Micheal Bay: best energy.

tarantino's foot fetish not being brought up is criminal

J.R.R Tolkien vs George R.R. Martin

The part with Michael Bay makes me really happy and i have no idea why

Nine fucking years later and i noticed all of the directors have a bar about how bad Michael Bay is and thats why he said “Ive heard enough crap from all of you”

Four talented, groundbreaking directors. Oh, and Michael Bay was there too.

“Half your billions should go to John Williams” That one hits hard cause it’s true.

christopher nolan crying in a corner cus he wasnt invited

Bay's verse is the dictionary definition of "based"

i dont know why but i love the part where kubrick is cutting in during quentins sections with the big wheeler, just love the beat mixed with the sounds of its wheels

If they all got into a knife fight, would that be the Director's Cut?

Fun Fact: this video took ERB the longest to make. First they had to obtain a sample of Kubrick's DNA then wait for the clone to grow and develop.

As a movie geek, this video is an absolute masterpiece and a ton of fun for me to watch. There is so many clever jokes, passion, and creativity bursting from the seams! I notice something new every time I come back to it! Probably my favorite ERB!

The fact that everyone was dunking on micheal bay for him to just come and rap is amazing

Can we just appreciate that Alfred Hitchcock did not move a single muscle when Michael Bay dropped. Every other director did. Congrats Alfred Hitchcock

The moon landing was filmed by Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick, ever the perfectionist, had it filmed on location.

The flow in the last four lines of tarantinos verse is absolutely incredible.

Anyone can say anything but Michael Bay's part was pure joy. And Kubrick is indeed Genius.

Moral of this ERB: mentioning Michael Bay's work 3 times summons him.

Hitchcock’s part was so good, you need to wear headphones to hear the background music but once you do it makes a massive difference

I love how surprised Kubrick is when Bay's verse starts, like ''oh shit i pushed too far''

This is hands down easily the best ERB of all time, the fact that they all diss Bay and then he's the director to top it off is so perfectly done

Alfred Hitchcock looks more like Alfred Hitchcock than Alfred Hitchcock looks like Alfred Hitchcock

You could see the suffering in Kubrick's face when he said "127 times"

I love this one simply because the verses are exactly what the directors do. I also love how they all took a crack at Michael Bay, and then he pops in and proves them right, that he is indeed all self-aggrandizing nonsense and explosions.

Tarantino is spot on, the actor is doing a great job imitating him.

Spielberg: You suck, Alfred. Hitchcock: No, you suck, Steven. Tarantino: You both suck. Kubrick: I'm awesome. Bay: Lol fuck off, I'm rich.

Plot twist, M. Night Shyamalan won.

Again not too many deep cuts here but you guys should really consider being directors with this production value! Good job!

Spielberg: soundtracks Hitchcock: scenes Tarantino: dialogue Kubrick: cinematography Bay: effects

“Half your billions should go to John Williams.” Yep. True.

I hope Tarantino has seen this. Knowing his sense of humor and how much of a cinephile he is, I think he would like it. And not only the part about himself.

since i first heard this in 2016 i still have it stucked in my head to this day. And i still love it. Thank you ERB.

I love how ERBH always makes their characters look more accurate than the real life counterparts.

The twist is that M. Night Shamalan was directing the rap battle.

In the part where Kubrick is explaining his vision of "every frame a painting..." Hitchcock is nodding in agreement, Tarantino is checking his watch lol

1:02 i can't stop laughing when i saw hitchcock spinning at the background

1:46 - 1:53 this part lives in my head rent free, it's so catchy

Best Puns: Spielberg Best Flow: Hitchcock Best Insults: Tarantino Best Intro: Kubrick Best Fuck-You Attitude: Michael Bay

I just love the idea of Kubrick actually caring about the Ninja Turtles.

this is the best ERB video and i love to rewatch it all the time

Still one of the best.

Can we just take a second to appreciate that the backing tracks are variations on each of the directors signature soundtrack styles yet they're blended together so seamlessly.

I love how Tarantino's verse has backing vocals of him yelling 'fuck!' and 'dick!' referencing the sheer amount of cursing in his films

8 years later and a new Indiana Jones film haunts Spielberg, keeping the lyrics up-to-date without changing them. 🤣

The fact that Tarantino's verse wasn't written like he was actually trying to win but instead like he was just trying to shut the other 2 up makes his verse the best.

Me: My brain during a test: I'm the best mama jamma ever stood behind a camera

When Tarantino mentioned "It looked like some sellout bullshit", Spielburg was gonna object, but the moment he mentioned Michael Bay, he was like, "oh yeah, fair point."

The best ERB, my ranking of the verses: 5. Michael Bay - Fun and entertaining but nothing insane. 4. Stephen Spielberg - May have the best beat and has some really good references, the other verses just set the bar so high. 3. Quentin Tarantino - Best flow and the most fun for me, has some really good roasts and a lot of references, it is super creative too with the unclean script part. 2. Alfred Hitchcock - Amazing flow and beat (great use of SFX), a lot of references and paints a good picture for Alfred. Great rhyme scheme with the mamma-jamma part. 1. Stanley Kubrick - Represents Kubrick very well as a crazy genius, referencing a ton of movies and scenes. The 127 line is one of the best in all of ERB imo and the overall visuals are crazy.

Spielberg: Makes adventure and wonder for everyone Hitchcock: Keeps it classy and excels in his field Tarantino: Gets visceral and intense to hit home with viewers Kubrick: Accepts nothing less than pure perfection and artistry Bay: Plays to his base and makes crowd-pleasers

Can we just appreciate how much fun Pete's having playing Michael Bay?

You know what? I fuckin' LOVE the costume for all these. The beats are good, the rhyme's are clever and the set and costume is on point. I think that ERB is one of the best pieces of internet content in history and I sincerely hope it's remembered with reverence.

I always loved these epic rap battles where they have extra people beyond the ones in the thumbnail

Steven Spielberg: the role model Alfred Hitchcock: the classic Quentin Tarantino: the verbal Genius Stanley Kubrick: the perfectionist Michael Bay: BOOM

Plot twist: this was directed by M. Night Shyamalan

Michael Bay's verse is so stupid, but thats the reason why i like it, so i think he won.

need a round 2 with Nolan, Scorsese, James Cameron and....idk Michael bay again haha

In the end, these squabbling directors are all united in their shared hatred of Michael Bay

Me: *Tries to sleep* My brain: "I'm the master, of suspense so intense no defense against Hitchcock when he presents"

This remains one of my favorite ERB of all time, and i quote it endlessly. Something I don't see anyone mentioning is how every single verse is insulting Michael Bay until he shows up. Spielberg called him a schlep, Hitchcock indrectly insulted him by mentioning Transformers, which Bay directed, Tarantino mentioned sellout bullshit Bay would do, and Kubrick called TMNT a waste of potential. (Bay has a producer credit for that.)

Can we PLEASE admire how perfect kubriks tricicle fits into tarantinos part????

The Michael Bay sequence is one of the funniest things ever; just really perfect.

This is my favorite ERB 😂

1:46 - 1:55 best erb lines

"I'm the master..." *Suspenseful pause" "OF SUSPENSE"

Siri vs Cortana

notice in the very last line of tarantino’s verse, he raises his arms above the frame, and as he lowers them it cuts to black, much like someone closing the trunk of a car. this refers to how in every tarantino film there is a shot of the characters looking into the trunk of a car, with the camera’s position being inside the trunk. great job with all the tiny details from erb

I love how each director disses Michael bay: speilberg “you got as many oscars as that shlep Michael bay”, Hitchcock “more horrible than Megan fox in transformers”, Kubrick “AI is the worst space potential since the ninja turtles”. Then Michael bays first words entering the battle “that’s enough I heard enough crap out of all of you”. Great detail.

That transition from Tarantino to Kubrick was awesome!

March 2023 and it's still my personal favorite ERB video! John Wick vs Rambo vs John McClane came pretty close but somehow this still fills better.

How? How did Kubrick’s actor make himself look that genuinely unhinged? Lmao that is great

I adore the breaks in Tarantino's later part when Kubrick is on the tricycle- the grinding, total stop of the beat is really well done and very catchy

Hitchcock and Tarantino easily had the best verses.

Kubrick has the shortest but best verse in ERB history- the performance, visuals, build up and music. Every time I watch this once I always rewind his verse

I do like how the rap battle subtly builds up to Michael's Bay entrance, with every director beforehand making an offhanded jab at him: Spielberg: You rock as many Oscars as that Schlep Michael Bay. Hitchcock: You're more horrible than Megan Fox's acting in Transformers (his most well-known movie series). Tarantino: It looked like sellout shit Michael Bay would do. Kubrick: A.I. is the worst waste of potential since the Ninja Turtles (another classic franchise Bay was known for butchering). Bay: I've heard enough crap from all of you.

All the Micheal Bay references before. You knew it was coming.

BEST MUSIC: Spielberg BEST FLOW: Hitchcock BEST BURNS: Tarantino BEST INTRO: Kubrick BEST BUILDUP: Bay

I like how every time it’s someone’s verse the beat changes

The pause in the master of suspense line

I love how the beats change to the style of music that's associated with each director. Spielberg gets beautiful flowing strings and brass, Hitchcock gets classic gothic style horror music, Tarantino gets smooth 90s hip hop, Kubrick gets Also Sprach Zarathustra, and Michael Bay gets 2010s Hans Zimmer style music.

I love how all the directors essentially summoned Michele Bay like Beetlejuice and deserved the response they got.

One of my favorite ERB's.
