Ghostbusters vs Mythbusters. Epic Rap Battles of History

[@Jodus_MacGotuss]

i love how the ghosbusters verse sounds like spooky sci fi with the theremin sound, and the mythbusters verse sounds like the discovery channel with the electric guitar. it's little details like that which i feel like aren't found in every battle.

[@WingMaster562]

That electric guitar is very reminiscent of MythBusters' motif in the earlier seasons.

[@KristopherCharles]

Yep, it's things like that that set a few apart from the rest. It feels like every element actually had thought put into it. It's one of the reasons their politically focused ones are bad. Especially with the newer ones where it's mostly just stuff you've read/heard on the news. Sitting down and making the same jokes the tonight show and whatnot made 622 times this year isn't a neat detail, it's beating a dead horse. And then brainlets try to claim you're a snowflake on one side or the other if you point out how garbage they are even though everyone should think they're garbage because they're garbage.

"you built a laser grid, with no safety switch and walter peck was right thats some shady shit" will always be stuck in my head

[@TerryProthero]

And it's kind of true, too.

[@ReddwarfIV]

What kind of safety switch are they after? Peck had the Con Ed guy use a switch to turn the laser grid off, which released the ghosts. If there was a passive means to hold ghosts, they would have used thar instead. Besides, Peck was EPA, he was investigating them for issues he had no authority over.

[@TerryProthero]

@@ReddwarfIV What they are likely looking for is a method of safely releasing the ghosts without causing an explosion or a backup system that could contain the ghosts temporarily while the laser grid was shut down. These guys literally had a huge switch that causes the building to explode. And, of course, we have the small problem of this dangerous facility being located in the middle of New York City. A highly populated area. Walter Peck was correct in the sense that these individuals were endangering the lives of countless innocent people with their activities. So, it absolutely falls under the category of "shady sh*t". As for Peck, he had the authority to conduct his original investigation which he claimed was related to suspected hazardous substances. But his actions beyond that were criminally negligent. The explosion was the result of him messing with equipment he had no knowledge of after being warned against it by experts. The correct course of action would be to report what he found to his superiors and to get appropriate agencies and experts involved. The Ghostbusters could legitimately be ordered to cease and desist all activities, and the building could have been quarantined until the situation was resolved. But Peck should not have been messing around with that equipment.

[@TerryProthero]

@@ReddwarfIV As a side note. I looked up the term, "safety switch", and it refers to a device that cuts off electrical power to prevent a person from receiving an electrical shock. They go under different names, but that is the more generic name for them. While that would prevent some forms of electrical hazards, to me the building detonating because of the poor design of the system was the larger concern. And what was the long term plan here? Keep the ghosts in this thing until the building changes hands and the new owner gets a big surprise? This was clearly not well thought out.

I've read in other videos the rules around parody are quite particular. You certainly can offer a parody to the original actor. But. Should they accept, then learn their parody is unacceptable to their sensibilities, they technically hold that job portraying their role and the project can be utterly cancelled. Because you aren't allowed to hire or substitute the original actor with another for the sake of pushing out the parody. Because it could diminish their value as actors.
