Oh...the "set myself free"...oh dear God did Disney get in trouble for that. When Robin Williams died, Disney Tweeted out the screenshot from Aladin "Genie, you're free now." Which got them in trouble with depression and anti-suicide organizations, because it sent the message that committing suicide to "be free" was a good option, as opposed to working through issues to make your life better.

Fun Fact: Originally Joan Rivers was supposed to be the final rapper but when they showed the draft to their supporters in discord everyone was asking where Robin Williams was. And that is the story of how Robin joined this rap battle. Also you’ll notice that all Robin disses were stuff the other comedians used on themselves, even in a rap battle he doesn’t try to hurt the other’s feeling.

I think a lot of people miss one of my favorite bars from Robin.

My fav part of this battle is how each actor really hit their char's personality and comedy style. Carlin was all about the fast, rough, hard hitting delivery. Pryor was the more "stand up" and perform for the audience style (full disclosure, i'm not old enough to have seen much of his), Rivers was both self deprecating and 'stab you with a rusty shank' (if you haven't seen some of her comedy roasts, do yourself a favor and watch them).As for Williams, he was the more jokey, let's be friends and connect with each other style, mixed with his MASSIVE movie catalog as a comic relief.

Joan had great bars, but she wasted so many of them on Cosby, who self-burned, was out, and no threat in this battle. Of course, kicking someone when they were down was entirely in her character, she made a career out of it. Between that, and sure, the nostalgia, I give it to Robin.

[@fong03]

To be fair, Joan was the one who drugged him, so even though he was "out," it was only fitting she gloat over him. The nostalgia with Robin's bars didn't do it for me and his one bar against Joan falls completely flat because she already made fun of how much plastic surgery had (and in a better bar). To each their own of course. :)

[@xheralt]

@@fong03 That's a pretty big assumption, said poisoning was never shown, she is never shown holding or handing the container to him; it just being in his pudding was enough to make the point.

[@fong03]

@@xheralt She says, “I would have attacked you two first, but your hearts beat me to it.” She had not started her bars against Cosby, so it’s more than reasonable to assume that is the attack she was referring to. Cosby also asks if someone put something in his pudding. Joan arrived right after that. It’s not hard to put that together. He obviously didn’t drug himself. Also, go watch the BTS. They specially say that Joan drugging Cosby was the idea.

[@LowbrowDeluxe]

The 'what's wrong with my lip' drug trip bit was also one of Cosby's bits, about a childhood dentist visit.

[@oddbird5825]

Carlin was born in Manhattan. But he grew up in a neighborhood of Manhattan called Morningside Heights, which he and his friends called "White Harlem" because it "sounded a lot tougher than its real name.” He attended school in the Bronx for high school but, after three semesters, was expelled from Cardinal Hayes High School at age 15. So I am guessing that’s what the line “born” and “raised” refer to?

[@qpSubZeroqp]

George Carlin's credentials as he stated: ”I want to mention my New York credentials, and they are as follows: I was born on this island, Manhattan island, therefore I was born in New York City, New York County, and New York State, and on top of that, I was born in New York Hospital...but here's the thing most of you don't know.

"Oh carlin my carlin" is a play on "Oh captain, my captain" from a Walt Whitman poem. Robin Williams quotes it in 'Dead poets society'.

"Goood morning movie bombs" is from how Robin said the tag line from his movie Good Morning Vietnam

I first listened to the whole album of Backlist while I was riding my bike at it was so awesome I didn't want to stop riding until I had listened to the entire thing.

"I like that line, but I don't like that line" Yeah, I can relate. Good way of describing it.

RIP🎤🤣🤣 Shit happens I guess lol. Excellent breakdown as always, Knox! I hope you and your family are well!

22:10 I thought Joan had the best lines because Robin Williams just said the same stuff Joan and Richard already said about themselves self-deprecatingly. Kind of lessens the sting

Shortest appearance in ERB? that honour belongs to Pompey the great as he only had five words before Catherine the great beheaded him. All he said was "What about me Pompey, yeah!". Bill here had several lines more than Pompey.
