The battle is not as one sided as it seems, on one hand, Cousteau made disses about Irwin's death, his best appearance in movies as a joke, him endangering his son and how he will ruin his legacy by eating his snails. However, Irwin's lines consisted of how Cousteau's brother was a Nazi, his dry and characterless voice, him being a pedo and the liveleak level of violence in the BTS of Silent World. Irwin won but both were savage

[@justkiddingde6506]

Many suggest Bismarck battling Margaret Thatcher, but maybe there's someone else who could better fit to him. Quite frankly, they could do a similar deal with Bismarck like they did with Stalin, Lenin etc.: A lot of important German leaders battling each other (except Hitler and Frederick the Great, since they already were on screen), e.g. Friedrich Barbarossa (Holy Roman Empire) Armenius (Leader of the Germanic tribes, who fought the Ancient Romans in the battle of Teutoburg Forest), Stresemann (one of the most crucial politicians of the Weimar Republic, post-WW1 Germany), Erich Honecker (hardline-stalinist leader of socialist East Germany during the Cold War) and in the end Angela Merkel as today's chancellor of a reunited and democratic Germany.

@@peopleshootatme1615 Crikey can be considered a cuss word but really the only rule it really breaks is using the Lord's name in vein (if that's your religion, if you dont believe in it, that's completely fine) As Crikey was using as a way to say "C*rist!" In shock or surprise, it's up to you but in the English language it is rarely considered a swear word.
