HOW DO I NOT KNOW YOU?! Reacting to "Smokey Bear vs McGruff Death Battle"

“Remember Kids... Remember me...” That I will, McGruff, that I will...

This was the first hand-drawn fight (not a sprite fight or a 3D fight), and it was pretty good. There are quite a few more hand-drawn fights, and are really impressive.

[@crcoghill]

sometimes outshining a few sprite ones, but then some REALLY good 3D ones came out in the recent years and MAN! i cannot wait for those. Ganondorf vs Dracula is still one of my favorites.

[@theamazingg3773]

@@crcoghill we just got the season 8 part 2 teaser and kool aid man vs macho man is the next hand-drawn fight, and I agree about the 3D fights. My personal favourite episode of death battle is iron man vs lex, but I love some of the newer 3D fights like the red vs blue one.

[@astaku8374]

A sin for the first two, a small misfortune with the other two.

[@fireball1249]

Jotaro Vs Kenshiro is missing because he wants to watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Sephiroth Vs. Virgil was initially taken out because of Final Fantasy 7 Machinabridged and since he finished it, he can now watch it. I'm not sure about the other 2. He should watch those.

[@TnT_F0X]

Know what, I think we need a live action Smokey again. Release a Black Bear into the next gender reveal party to prevent them from starting fires.

[@flyingstonemon3564]

I approve, maybe have Mcgruff come in too remind people It's a crime to commit arson and that as a family member you should remind the parents to be reasonable and just use a colored cake if they still want to do It. Could be super fun and would be on with times and new poor behaviors.

[@HellYeahGaming]

It actually is and always has been “Smokey Bear,” and not “the” bear. It’s a first name, last name situation. I normally wouldn’t mind so much but you’re so confident and adamantly wrong that every time you said it I cringed. XD it’s all good though. Yeah, this one was a total no brained from the start. Love how they got super popular professional voice actors to do what’s essentially a cartoony joke battle. Marvel vs DC? So many of those. Hell, the next 3 in a row on your playlist were Marvel vs DC! Haha! Ok, time to go back and comment on Shredder vs Silver Samurai. I wasn’t able to watch and comment that one same day due to being extremely busy on the weekend, and I have a LOT I can comment that one. I’m a gigantic comic book nerd, and TMNT especially, so that comment is going to be like the ones that Kempfdog leaves on your MHA videos! XD

[@theduckgoesmoo]

Whats the Mandela effect?

[@sharzinlalebazri5673]

@@theduckgoesmoo Mandela effect is (if I'm not mistaken) named after that one time where everyone thought Nelson Mandela was dead despite him being alive and well because he was in prison for a long time and people assumed that they remember hearing news of his death.

[@Ej-qy6oz]

@@theduckgoesmoo To elaborate, it's a term used to describe when a collective memory of a group of people is wrong. Such as Mandela's "death," Jif vs Jiffy, pikachu's tail, and many others. Some people believe it's proof there's multiple universes and we somehow cross over to one just like our last one but off just slightly. But that's an extreme theory.

[@HeadBodyMasterPersonal]

It's so crazy that they got DBZ voice actors to voice Smokey and McGruff for this Death Battle. Christopher Sabat (Vegeta, Piccolo, Yamcha, Shenron, Recoome, Burter, Jeice, and more) as Smokey, and Chris Rager (Hercule) as McGruff.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

Thats a bit overkill

[@Degdreams]

You were so confident in what you were saying I actually started to believe it was Smokey the Bear even though I very distinctly remember that it was ALWAYS just Smokey Bear

[@TnT_F0X]

Smokey the bear is popular in California, and even here in New England somewhat, but we get rain so it's not as bad up here. There is a chainsaw carved Smokey the Bear up in Winnipesaukee too.

[@MoostachedSaiyanPrince]

I've seen commercials of him here in Florida too. I'd imagine he's used in just about any area that has large woodlands.

I was legit just thinking about McGruff just the other day trying to remember his name. I was washing dishes, saw the soap suds, and thought to myself, "Was the name of that trench-coat-wearing propaganda dog 'Scruff McScud'? It doesn't feel right, but it doesn't feel completely wrong either.".

[@theduckgoesmoo]

Lol what a random thought

[@mechatar1051]

Well the JoJo vs Fist of the northstar (both animes you need to watch) episode is coming up in a few episodes being Jotaro vs Kenshiro, and i wouldnt recommend watching it if either of them ends up being the next anime after MHA (Also dont trust the age, they always use the most recent age they are seen in)

[@MyAbridged]

To be honest I hope he skips that one anyway. As far as 'Death Battles where they put the wrong result for no real reason' this is pretty high, even their own math doesn't agree with them ffs.

[@connorwood9211]

Of COURSE Smokey could break through the circle of respect. He's already orders of magnitude stronger than McGruff while unarmed, and he just slaps it with a SHOVEL. That is SUPREME disrespect right there.

The title of the video, thats a question we all stopped making ourselves videos ago.

[@MyAbridged]

Marvel Vs DC happened as an official comic book series. It was kinda vs though because fight winners were decided by votes, so some fights were won by the wrong person (Wolverine beating Lobo in particular). This culminates in the two universe temporarily fusing with composite characters like Dark Claw (Wolverine/Batman), Super Soldier (Superman/Captain America) and Thorion (Thor/Orion). It was called Amalgam and had its own line of comics.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

I feel like marvel would win every fan vote now

[@theawesome5496]

Yeah speed may kill, but bears fucking slaughter. I saw a video last year of a bear getting shot in the face by a shotgun at point blank range, and all that happened to it was it fell down, then 2 seconds later got up like nothing happened and continued to chase the guy who shot em. "They could do so much Marvel vs DC" You have no god damn clue how right you are, there are so many Marvel vs DC episodes, get used to seeing these 2 properties alot, and I mean ALOT.

This was the very first hand-drawn fight Death Battle did, courtesy of the animators at Blind Ferret. There have been three other hand-drawn battles so far, and more planned for the future. Obviously, they take more time than any other sort of fight to make, so they're quite rare. However, from this point on, many of the Sprite Battles begin to incorporate hand-drawn elements, with a few notable battles (Carnage vs Lucy and Mob vs Tatsumaki likely being the most obvious) having entire hand-drawn sections adding up to nearly half the battle. This battle actually came about from a convention panel they did during early Season 2. They just decided to let the attending audience vote on a battle they wanted, and whatever was selected, they would make at some point. Smokey vs. McGruff was one winner. The other was Kirby vs Ditto, which was changed to Kirby vs Buu partway through because, well, Ditto was royally screwed. They waited to do Smokey vs McGruff until they could hand-animate it, as that's how they felt the characters could be best represented. Love that Psych reference! What a great show. There was a very similar murder-mystery show on during the same time period on the same network called Monk, which starred a germaphobic detective instead of a faux-psychic. Also great, but not quite as good. They would sometimes reveal the killer in the opening sequence for no reason and ruin the point of watching the episode. Anyway, the two shows made a lot of subtle references to each other and there was a planned crossover that unfortunately fell through. Great shows though. I don't know if any of these are missing because of spoilers, but the playlist does not have the following episodes: Naruto vs Ichigo (one of my absolute favorites I just because of the amount of research poured in), Sephiroth vs Virgil (now that you've finished FFVIIMA, you should be fine on spoilers, there will just be minor ones for the movie and a couple prequel games, I'd say watch the "Complete Edition" of the movie first, but it really doesn't matter much), raven vs Twilight Sparkle (don't know if you ever plan on watching MLP, this episode has spoilers for up through Season 7, if you aren't, then it's a good episode), and Jotaro vs Kenshiro (don't think you have any plans to watch JoJo's Bizzare Adventure or Fist of the North Star, could be wrong). Just so you're aware! Great reaction! Love them, keep 'em coming!

[@theduckgoesmoo]

I used to watch monk as well! The jojo ones are left off for spoilers but the sephiroth fight should be watched

[@SyxxPunk]

Minority Report is a sci fi movie about a society that had created an algorithm (actually just psychic children) to prevent crime before it even happens. This is portrayed as horrifying as it sounds.

I taught a wilderness survival merit badge in a Boy Scout camp and literally had to teach kids that if you piss off a bear, say your prayers since there’s nothing a person can do that a bear can’t do physically. They can climb trees if they decide not to knock it down. And the average bear is about 2 times faster than a person. Just…don’t piss off bears. You will lose.
