Nice Richard had no chance against Epic Lodbrok

[@darthzayexeet3653]

Explaination for Ragnar‘s Bars: 1. Richard I. the Lionheart was killed by young (possibly 10-year old) boy, who shot a crossbow bolt into the shoulder, avenging his father who was killed by Richard. 2. The International Red Cross / The American Red Cross is an Organization that helps treat wounds and provide medical relief (e. g. on a battlefield during a war) 3. Richard had an arranged marriage and didn’t love his wife, so he never slept with or had any children with her. 4. He had one son tho, but he was illegitimate bc he was from his mistress. 5. The Plantagenet line ended with Richard III. (1452-1485), who had Scoliosis (basically a „twisted spine“) 6. Richard the Lion King actually came from a French dynasty, since he was a descendant of the Norman William the Conqueror. Thus he spoke mostly French and despite being an english King spent most of life on crusades and barely any time in England. 7. Jaffa Cakes are really famous and delicious. Especially in Germany 8. Richard tried to conquer Jerusalem literally „for Christ‘s sake“, but failed 9. He saw „the holy land“, but couldn’t go all the way. Like if his dream woman stood naked before him, but he couldn’t reach her. 10. There was a Viking ritual where they stripped naked, took hallucinogenic mushrooms and literally went berserk. Also Berserk means „bare chested“ 11. Ding Dang Dong. Reference to French nursery rhyme „Frère Jacques“, meaning Brother John. Richard had a brother named John who became King after him. 12. Bells would ring, whenever there was a Viking Raid. 13. Richard‘s major adversary was Sultan Saladin („salad in“), whom he could never fully beat. 14. Richard was captured by German nobles and mercenaries. His Mother had to pay for his (King‘s) Ransom. 15. He died in incarceration, when the wound from the crossbow bolt became infected and gangrenous. Ragnar easily won this one.

[@SnipinNinja101]

Red cross line was for the blood drive stating he is gonna need a blood donation to survive

[@MUNFUProffitt]

Ahhh okay I’m hip now I had that way wrong lmfao

[@SnipinNinja101]

@@MUNFUProffitt no problem man I appreciate you taking your time to read our comments and admit when you don't know something it means alot to all of us

[@DreckbobBratpfanne]

The Red Cross also operates hospitals, medics and so on worldwide, nice bar xD

[@thepapakeeganshow6440]

As well as (and I can’t remember which reacted pointed out) but it could be referring to a crucifix as in he’d need a god to beat Ragnar (which I believe he also talks about his god just before or after that verse)

[@dylanmatthewper2003]

The red cross was a reference was of because he called a doctor/medic after he was hit by an arrow.

[@MalwinP]

Ragnar was executed in a pit of snakes. And his son Ivar the Boneless avenged him later

[@Vanderyn]

Ragnarr died by being thrown into a pit of snakes and his son was nicknamed "Boneless" That's why Richard's 1st verse hits really hard for me.

[@dylanmatthewper2003]

Yes it was Ivarr Ragnarrson the Boneless! Ragnarr Loðbrók died being thrown into a pit of snakes by King Aelle II of Northumbria in 866!

[@thefandom6243]

A couple of things that I noticed people miss. The Royal me "we" is when you refer to yourself as more than one person because you are that important When he mentioned Sean Connery appearing at the end, that could also be taken as a reference to James Bond vs Austin Powers Richard also mentions that he swings a mace and spits like a snake. I take that as a reference to Mace pepper spray And Ragnar's second verse he Loosely quotes Frère Jacques immediately after referencing monks to which the nursery rhyme is about

[@majinsole8554]

Ragnar out here like “Chainmail? FIGHT ME NAKED BITCH!!!” ~_~

[@RawrGabbysaurus]

I might be wrong on this, but I believe the battering ram bar was a continuation of the Dick bar, where Ragnar's wife was a 'Shield' Maiden.

[@brothersgt.grauwolff6716]

King Richard the Lionheart may have brought a Crusade but Ragnar Lodbrok brought the RAGNAROK!

[@MUNFUProffitt]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another great reaction my dude.

[@MUNFUProffitt]

Thank you my g

Ragnar, attacked Richard more. Richard spend lines promoting himself. I think "Ragnar rocks" this rap

[@MUNFUProffitt]

I agree on second watch

[@tencentreviews4511]

It's a lituation of a celebration today!!! Great reaction Munfu. For me, Ragnar had this battle in the bag.

[@MUNFUProffitt]

Thank you my g!

[@gheddafiduck8239]

Richard the lionheart got his nickname in sicily and corleone (literally lionheart) is a famous city in sicily

[@blueguy15]

ERB know how to command attention when they upload. It's a beautiful thing to see.

[@Northwite]

The Red Cross is a charity group of medics that go in during wars and natural disasters to administer medical help. So when Ragnar was saying that he'd need The Red Cross he's saying that Richard was going to be beaten bloody and would need a medic.

[@tigermanxxl]

Been looking forward to this

[@MUNFUProffitt]

Aye thank you bro!

[@pedroribeiro1130]

Yo, time to put to use that usually useless history knowledge: The spit/snake pit bar is a reference to Ragnarr being killed by being thrown in a pit full of snakes byt the king of Northumbria in his story. The shield wall/battering ram part may just be a way to throw medieval war related innuendos or it could be a reference on how shield walls were the most famous viking/Ragnarr tactic while Richard participated in many sieges (and I think suffered the wound that eventually killed him in one). The boneless wings part is because one of Ragnarr's five (or six depending on the story) sons was called Ivar the Boneless. Arguably the most famous of his sons, besides maybe Ironside. The Red Cross is a reference to the Red Cross foundation, which is an aid and relief charity organization, and a red cross is also the flag of England. The "your lady can't feel the love on any night" bar is a reference on Richard dying without heirs (legitimate children). The end of the Plantagenet line is a reference to the fact that Richard was the last king of the Plantagenet noble line. And the speak english bar I think is a reference to the fact that said line came from France. The shaggy little pants bar is a reference to "Lodbrok", which isn't Ragnarr's last name, but a nick name, which means "furry/shaggy pants"... not the most frightening nickname for the most famous raider of scandinavia. The invented the royal "we" is because it was around his time that european royalty started refering to themselves as "we" instead of "I" to represent that they were the State. Don't know if Richard was the one to actually start it though. The fictional bar is a reference on Ragnarr's existance being debatable at best, likely a junction of differing kings' stories. While Richard is a definitely historical king.

[@SpearM3064]

"Your lady can't feel the love on any night" is also a reference to another song from The Lion King. Specifically, "Can you feel the love tonight" by Elton John. When they were first married, she was too young (she was only 10), and when she _was_ old enough, he was away at the Crusades. Also, it's been suggested that he might have been homosexual, or at least bisexual. Richard the First was NOT the last king of the Plantagenet line. Richard the Third was. (To be fair, you didn't say _which_ Richard, so you might've been talking about Richard the Third.) Also, Richard the Third suffered from scoliosis (curvature of the spine), which is what Ragnar was referring to.

[@JustCauseFan]

"we are here for the breakdown"- you literally missed half of all lines meaning xD

Overall id say: Richard won the Cypher, But Ragnar won the Battle

[@edgaralanpoe2808]

Agreed, richard is much more enjoyable

[@slipperynodd578]

"Twist your spine like the end of the Plantagenet line" is a KO punch because Phillips dad started the Plantagenet line and it ended with Richards grandson who is believed to have had scoliosis

New to this channel and Im a tad disappointed he didnt catch the ruins/runes line but this us a great breakdown.

7:55 I think the red cross bar meant medical workers from the so called red cross man😂 Why u so dense today Munfu?

[@Randamned]

I can’t believe you thought this was close...

[@lordreptilestormblade1749]

actually battering rams were used in medieval times as well. back then they were massive logs that would be held by 4 soldiers that would be using it to smash through an enemy gate or a weak part of an enemy wall to lay siege on their city or castle

[@SpearM3064]

Yeah, but they normally wouldn't be used against a _shield_ wall, they'd be used against a _castle_ wall. The "shield wall" bit was a hymen joke.

[@lordreptilestormblade1749]

@@SpearM3064 "hymen joke" I assume you mean a sex joke. if so I don't think either have a hymen given how thats part of a vagina. Richard, Lodbrok, and the mentioned Saladin are all men. also I was correcting his confusion about police battering rams which are far weaker then the siege battering ram as it can't produce enough force by comparison.

[@lordreptilestormblade1749]

the red cross he referred to was the cross of the Knights Templar, a group that was on good terms with Richard the Lionheart.

[@MercenaryPen]

pretty sure the reference was to the cross of St George actually- which has long been a symbol associated with English nationalism

[@lordreptilestormblade1749]

@@MercenaryPen maybe. I just assumed it was the templar since they also had the red cross for their symbol.

[@ghoulxghxul5091]

always wondered bout that intro that kids drippin xD

[@katarinaducouteau5729]

Yo Munfu, a bar you liked but missed a second meaning to was the "Vikings in Minnesota" line. Back in 1898, a farmer in Kensington, Minnesota, knocked over a tree on his property, and found a Runestone burred underneath the tree. It's still debated if it's legit or not, but the runestone is supposedly from Viking explorers who laid claim to the land of Minnesota all the way to the Atlantic ocean. What happened to these vikings who traveled so far into central North America is unknown or if they really existed at all. So... Richard would go fight loser vikings in Minnesota... as well as the football team.

[@Halbu803]

Richard was not a virgin, he actually dislike being married because he didn't want to wed, just sleep around but his marriage was planned and his wife was 10ish and he didn't find her attractive cause she was a child. But that then leads to allegedly being gay or bi.

[@KawaiiKasai]

Came here second, so I've only seen it 3 times so far. I'm still deciding. I think Ragnar landed more heavy hits, but I also wish Ragnar would have landed some hits about Richard's parents (more than his mom paying the ransom) who were SUPER messed up. I'm talking mommy dearest tried to have their son kill his father messed up. It's literal Shakespearean drama level stuff and could have provided some easy punches Other than that great battle :)

[@tonypeppermint5329]

I'm definitely feeling Ragnar as the winner with the punches he had. The Red Cross is a organization that is focued on helping people in disaster.

[@MUNFUProffitt]

I ageee bro!

[@tonypeppermint5329]

The Red Cross does seem to have some controversies that seem to relate to them not really helping people, though.
