Rebecca he’s been putting most of his creative energy into his own live show- The Crossword Show! He’s just out there, doing comedy and being awesome. I can’t say for sure if or when, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he does start uploading again sometime in the (hopefully near) future :)

Of course, it had to be made! He is the 3rd most reaccuring actor, behing only Peter and Lloyd. Also, suggestions: Queen Elizabeth vs Pope Francis; Roald Amundsen vs Ferdinand Magellan; Mother Theresa vs Nelson Mandela; Sultan Suleyman vs Attila The Hun; Lionel Messi vs Christiano Ronaldo; Josip Broz Tito vs Fidel Castro, or Mao Ze Dong or Ataturk.

[@catxborsuq1]

Wouldn't it make more sense to have Amundsen vs Scott? I mean, I know that their whole "race" and rivalization was overblown by the media, those two never met and on top of that Amundsen felt a sense of guilt to some degree over Scott's death, but still...

Jimi Hendrix vs Kurt Cobain Donald Glover (Childish Gambino) as Hendrix would be really badass.

[@Keysame]

[@anzahanifathallah]

Shigeru Miyamoto vs Hayao Miyazaki would be really dope Miyamoto can have all his characters (Mario bros, Link, Zelda etc) in live action, while Miyazaki can have all his characters and backgrounds in animated Ghibli style. Mary Doodles can do the job well, but i think it would also be great if you guys bring in JaidenAnimations or TheOdd1sOut or other YT animators to get the job done faster. also Domics would be a perfect Miyamoto i think
