[@shadowwriter329]

They don't even have to ask who won, they know and we all know who won that battle. fun fact Disney did own the studio that ERB was a part of so they did in fact owe ERB. but now they are independent and on their own.

[@kagato23]

Which only emphasized the unspoken message: doesnt matter who won the rap, the winner is still disney

[@theaberrantdon]

Good catch. I knew Disney owned them, but I didn't realize they were able to go independant. I've never heard of snyone escaping Disney, before. I'd like to know how that happened.

[@shadowwriter329]

yeah, they now mostly use patron but now not tied to any studio.

[@markuseavids5362]

They do that with every season finale.

[@stevenray9229]

maker was the studio. Disney owned them, but Maker went out of business. they actually owned a lot of series that were able to go independent when Maker went down. They went out around the same time that Pewdiepie started getting targeted. But yes, Epiclloyd and Nicepeter were Disney Princesses for a bit.

I still love how it seems like almost no reactor catches the M-I-C-K-E-Y line. Its the big start to the classic mickey mouse club show and was, I thought, pretty iconic. maybe im just too old as I remember it in reruns growing up.

No, I'm with you there. I only know the Mickey Mouse Club theme from KZbin, Disney On Ice, Disney Parks Fireworks, The PBS Walt Disney documentary in 2015, plus I'm a 90s kid and a HUGE Disney fan. It's practically Mickey's theme at this point. 🤣🤣🤣

[@chairmanofthebored6860]

Man these guys don't get enough credit for how spot on the impressions are. Stan Lee and Jim Henson are so accurate it's scary. Mad props to the ERB crew for the amount of love these guys put into this. This hit me in the feels. As a child of the 80's, this makes me sad. The magic is gone with the loss of these two gentlemen.

[@MrParkerman6]

Not Really, Peter's Jim Henson voice would have been way more accurate if he just used the kermit voice the whole Time, Jim didn't change his voice very much to voice Kermit, Peter made his voice to throaty and ruff, Jim didn't have a scratchy voice like that! He sounds more like Jim Henson when he voices Kermit than when he actually voices Jim.

It is wonderful and heartbreaking.

[@chaosknight8428]

7:33 What's funny is at the time this was made, that line was legit. Disney literally owned ERB until fairly recently.

[@TxSonofLiberty]

There is a Stealth Joke: Zach Sherwin, who plays Walt Disney, helped start ERB and helped NicePeter and EPICLloyd get started. This is why he says "In Fact, I own the whole Series", because at least in part he originally did. He is also the only person besides the main two to appear in every Season from 1-5 (6 is the only season so far that he did not appear in, and 6 is not yet officially over). He also has written and directed episodes.

[@DocStewie77]

... On top of the fact that ERB was signed to Maker Studios, which is owned by Disney.

[@TripleFourSC]

​@@DocStewie77 Google is also owned by Disney and Google owns KZbin so Disney is the direct owner of KZbin.

[@sirconstan3749]

Definitely missed the impact of the Jack Kirby line, lol, you were too focused on the Kermit laugh

[@OpherChrist82]

I love that they put that in there, since the internet was so vocal over the Bob Kane/Bill Finger bit, but no one ever mentions Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko when talking about Stan Lee's "creations"

[@melon-kun]

I don't get that line ;-;

[@sbird8675]

@@melon-kun Stan Lee is accused of claiming he created characters that were actually created by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. Kirby and Ditko were the two main comic book artists that worked with Stan Lee (who did the writing) in the early 60s when most of Marvel's biggest characters were invented.

[@metalheadwithjokes]

@@sbird8675 Jack Kirby was the illustrator for, most of the comics, Stan was the writer. They both had equal value in making the characters, no one was stolen from exactly.

[@sbird8675]

@@metalheadwithjokes I know, I said he was the writer and they were the artists. I don't know if I believe the accusations, I just know that they happened. From what I understand, one or both of the artists claimed they showed Lee designs for heroes that he later said he came up with first. Again, I don't know if it's true, just that the accusations happened.

Which is why Stan then apologizes. The m-i-c, k-e-y transition is also one of their best.

"Put you out to pasture like Mr. Hooper" is pretty damn hard too if you know the history of Sesame St.

Walt Disney won just by making it clear that he literally owns both of them and telling them to "get back to work."
