[@skasktheslod924]

What is your favorite quote from Muhammad Ali? "I'm so wrong, I make angles right. I'm so toasty, I make bread white. I'd punch a potato in the eye." Truly wise words from the champ.

[@DavidSSabb]

"Some people say 'you better watch Joe Frazier, he's really strong.' I said 'tell him try Ban Roll-on'.....that's deodorant."

[@TheExplodingBacon]

brings a tear to my eye 😢

[@crimsonflare8422]

😂

[@Kinseliplier]

@@DavidSSabb Frazier Kicked Ali's Ass though.

[@pewpewpandas9203]

@@Kinseliplier Bit of an overstatement, especially considering Ali has the winning record against Frazier

[@michaellangston5705]

One of the stars of this rap battle is an Oscar winner. Let that sink in...ERB technically has an Oscar winner.

[@murdoph]

And multiple Grammy winners!

[@CapitanJorge24]

they've participated in the second spongebob movie

[@johnkalchbrenner2675]

Muhammad Ali is vicious he said he would punch a potato in the eye

[@JamieMadrox1210]

I wanted to see the process of making Keegan look blacker! Lol

[@deafweasel99]

right! I thought he looked a shade or two darker than normal

3:02

[@erickmartinez5631]

Umm... make-up?

[@gonerkid]

i thought i was going crazy

[@mostar1219]

Now that the heroin joke is gone, does that mean Lloyd will get high on potenuse?

[@justinaccardi7012]

This deserves more likes XD

[@BlackfeatherLegion]

The Heroin joke was not dead yet by this point.

[@codylgarcia]

Finally, inner peace

[@gabe_s_videos]

"Which Ali are you?" "I'm shaky on answering that question." Welp, I'm going to hell now. XD

[@dedgesaysfuckthewrld]

I feel like Key & Peele are the black Peter & Lloyd

[@Swonke]

Crap how did I never notice that??

[@dedgesaysfuckthewrld]

Millennium Falcon lol

[@xgray2012]

dedge oi I know, right?!?!?!

[@DaveZilla02]

***** You're also forgetting the fact that Key & Peele are funny

[@apullcan]

THAT IS SO FUCKING TRUE!!

[@KillerLineBacker]

GREATEST behind the scenes, yet!!!!!! Thank you so much, Nice Peter and EpicLLOYD, for taking my request!!! I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED seeing the editing process!!! KEEP IT UP!!! So awesome!!

[@Kiss_My_Aspergers]

Three quarters of your comment rhymed, and I can't tell if that was on purpose, or just a happy coincidence. 😂

[@TheLittleLife]

@@Kiss_My_AspergersI think it was cuz nobody says it like that

[@mohaed96]

R.I.P Muhammed Ali truly the greatest!

[@Kolxda]

R.I.P. Champ

[@TomEbbsjamasteroids]

mohaed96 "I'm so fast that when I switch off the light I'm in bed before the lights are out" i can't remember what that line is exactly but..it's just too good too get 110%right, which is exactly how much Ali put into a fight as a living legend who attained the impossible. A Blood Diamond is what he was...and we have lost another Angel alas. R.I.P The King 🔱✴⭕🔵⚫✝⚫🔵⭕✴🔱

[@olidon96]

I'm really curious about Lloyd's basketball thing.

[@jasonsaunders5899]

Oli Donohue I was too, I looked it up and on a podcast he said that every time he played basketball when he was younger someone would get hurt, often him.

[@gamingwildlife]

How come we don't see Key, we only hear audio?

[@sin_decent]

one does not simply perceive key

[@r.pizzamonkey7379]

It's because he's KEYED out... I'm deeply sorry

[@TheRonanTShow]

Am I the only one who wants more off the actual creation of the video (Editing, VFX, etc) in the Behind The Scenes?

[@cbarcelos]

yeah, I think the BTS should be a little longer, maybe about 7 minutes.

[@gengivitis7448]

I love how Peter laughs at "Ball Maintenance Kit" and is just like "I'm 14" XD

[@willcarmack]

Now I have to know, why won't Lloyd touch a basketball

[@CrimnsonRed]

Not since he sold heroin on that basketball court.

[@JTrillo]

Lloyd was one of the guys who were up to no good who makes Will Smith move to Bel Air.

[@rei5985]

Hey it does not matter if he is short He IS BAD ASS

[@rei5985]

***** See

[@LuckySmurf]

Maybe because of germs? =/

[@Reecerz.E]

Rip Muhammad Ali , float like a butterfly , sting like a bee🐝

[@seanhastings4432]

Love the instrumental for this song.

[@Quazzi]

Morgan Freeman vs Samuel L. Jackson

[@jenniferpruitt6534]

Jordan Peele nailed Ali almost perfectly! I wonder if Ali himself ever was aware of this? If so, what did he think of it?

[@Dom0915]

You do know that muhammed ali passed away in 2016 right?

[@nvh119]

omg those two are the same actors from Ghandi vs Martin Luther King? ... the makeup people really impressed me!

[@Magestrix]

They're Key & Peele. They have their own show on Comedy Central and they were also on MadTV. I love them. Their humor is out of left field! lol

[@manfria3478]

@@Magestrix peele also directed Get Out. Real genius

[@Ghilly666]

Behind the scenes are so interesting!!! I love them

[@Ebolson1019]

What if erb had a TV show where all it is is watching Lloyd and Peter in there everyday lives?

[@KanerHD]

I'd say something similar to Louie would be better

[@normalmarkiplierfangirl155]

I would fucking watch the hell out of that shit

[@MONKEYSiluv]

i feel like they woukd both really hate that lol

[@zereon]

Privacy bitch

[@ShowToddSomeLove]

"Noone's ever gonna stop me, and noone should ever try" Why did he not follow that up with "I'm so wrong, I make grown men cry"

[@InsanityMan]

It's amazing that they worked with someome who is now an oscar winner

[@valenxiiaga]

This shows how much work these guys put into the rap battles :)

[@jacksonsay37]

1:26-1:28 One of my all time favourite ERB lines.

[@Paulelele]

"Which era Muhammad are you?" "I'm shaky on that one" haha that's terrible xD

[@coldbritto]

Thank you for sharing some of the editing behind the scenes! Love it :)

Mind blown?

[@geezburgers]

The Rap battles with Key and Peele are the best ones, in my opinion. Anyone else agree?

[@conedx]

+RocknRollSpidey i like the vader/hitler ones best (cause im a sucker for anything related to WW2) followed by the bill nye one, but the key n peele ones are awesome cause i love everything those guys do.

Soooo...Lloyd wont touch a basketball, and he wont eat a banana..I wonder why.

[@johnlloyd1682]

I don't get it what's the joke please tell seriously😕

[@taylor2042]

He won't touch balls and people always associate bananas with dicks

[@fizz9512]

i liked the "here comes jordan" to "messing with me is gambling" part cuz it flowed and sounded so good i also like "and you double dribble balls that nobody can see"

[@thePinkKitty3]

After effects is hard to master! You and your editors are crazy skilled!

[@RhythmicTuneGaming]

This one has the best beat of all of them.

[@SweetPeaSavhanna]

Lloyd still said heroin XD but ya amazing rap battle

[@Hortaal]

Thanks, this is almost better than the battle cause we can see more about the high quality of your work. I think you should do the 'Behind the scenes' even longer.

[@Saturns_place]

I can’t believe they got jordan peele and keagan Michel key in this

[@jeremyoakes1]

Pretty awesome work as always guys. Keep it up!

[@2XtheFather]

The very end where Key throws the basketball at something. Made me laugh

[@nicholasgee565]

One day they’re playing Muhammad Ali, the next they’re making movies about racial problems in America. Oh, they grow up so fast.

Laura Ingalls Wilder vs Rose Wilder Lane. (Mother/Daughter rap battle. Perfect!! )

[@urwindowwatcher5003]

I'm pretty sure they made Key's skin darker but didn't show it

[@TonyStorm21]

they also made peele whiter if thats even a word

[@mrpjs27]

Most likely to help with portraying their characters

[@dystrophic]

***** They made his skin *lighter*

[@runebladez999]

DAS RASSIST

[@PeterPlazowki_emperorsofrandom]

kinda hilarious to see anything with jordan peele doing comedy shit knowing that it was only a matter of time before he directed two of the most innovative horror movies of the 21st century like the guy who pulled out a box cutter on an airplane in a sketch about terrorists, is also the same guy who directed US
