THERE ARE NO LIMITS!! JACQUES COSTEAU VS STEVE IRWIN | Rapper Reacts to Epic Rap Battles Of History

[@ThatThrashGuy99]

Fun fact: Jacques Cousteau is the guy that Stephen Hillenburg used as inspiration for the narrator in SpongeBob. :)

[@BiggusNickus]

The "one hour later" guy? I never made the connection, haha.

“You better run / you better take cover” is from the chorus to the song Down Under by Men At Work which is a hilariously bad/awesome song about Australians

Calling Steve chunky and soft is such a weak bar! Steve wrestled crocs, those things are just muscles with teeth! Steve was 6ft 2 and practiced mixed martial arts and his bodyguard was like dude doesn't even need me and instead became his personal trainer. Steve was built and he could fight he seriously was the antithesis of soft and chunky

[@batfan1939]

Part of the reason he did so well is because he had mediocre form paired with unparalleled upper body strength. Even professional martial artists often couldn't pin him or keep him in a hold!

"were you killed by a fish kids pet at the aquarium?" *then the look on your face, as you pause and step back* *then fade to black right as an ad with soft music begins* LOL, perfect!

[@dailymadness5159]

One thing I have to say about Jacques bar is that a stingray is much more dangerous than you'd think. The small stingray's that we pet in aquariums are obviously made safe, their barbs are clipped. A stingray has a spike in its tail that it uses to stab predators, and are sometimes venomous. Think of it as Steve Irwin being shanked.

[@jaredjimenez2305]

This is true but the amount of times they attack humans is astronomically low. The way I see it is, if that's how someone like Steve Irwin went, he was needed elsewhere. Who knows where but his work in this world was done.

The stingray rolled a natural 20, Steve rolled a natural 1. ☹

I swear Steve Irwin gets the most respect post death it’s crazy, i never heard any jokes about his death until this ERB and he died all the way back in 2006. Loved Steve and his shows and clearly so many other people do to, but yeah that bar hits hard even 15 years after.

@Zgred Czwarty Niesamowity it was the episode where a kid was on life support, and Cartman and the crew have to win the next game(I want to say it was hockey. It has been a long time). The crew visits the kid on lifesuport, and the doctor says, "they have to win their game(s) or the kid will die faster than Steve Irwin in a tank of stingrays". This was either the episode of Satan's part or after I just can't remember exactly.

I've heard this erb multiple times and I just now got the line "Contain yourSelf, like my Underwater Breathing Apparatus". Mind Blown.

[@95reide]

I was about to send this exact message, when i decided to check through the relatively few comments at the time I saw the video. It's one of those things where where the acronym serves as a mnumonic device. like how laser is actually an acronym for Light Amplification through Stimulated Emissions of Radiation.
