Pablo Picasso:
I am the greatest! The modern art Muhammad Ali!

I melt faces, call me MC Dali!

Your whole body of work is a fluffy mountain of crap!

You're the PBS version of Nickelback!

But I think you must be a genius, cause with zero training,

You made millions teaching people how to suck at painting.

Why don't you go back home and beat your brush, you chump!

I could make better art with my wiener, Lump!

Bob Ross:
I'm so glad you could join me today,

So I could teach you how to feel some joy when you paint.

You're a moody little genius, always so serious.

I know, you must be on your Blue Period!

Your work is melancholic, I'm painting happy little trees.

Call me Jackson Pollock, because I splatter MCs!

With the voice that soothes, so let's do this.

I'll twist you up like you're a Rubik's cubist!

Pablo Picasso:
Don't use that word like you know what it is!

You painted thirty thousand pictures of bushes and sticks!

Does your audience know that you stole your whole show?

You just ripped off your teacher, and added an afro!

My name is Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula

Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano

De la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso!

Back, to, you, Bob!

Bob Ross:
Well, Bob is dropping bombs like this is Guernica!

I served twenty years, Air Force, United States of America.

My technique will make your mistress weep.

Put her to sleep, elbow drop her dreams, I go deep!

And I keep it mellow like some Cadmium Yellow.

I'm a bright, like Titanium White kind of fellow.

Don't believe in mistakes unless you step to me.

Yo Pablo, you just got your happy little ass beat!

Continuity

 * The channels's numbers are the ERB battle number. (Billy Mays (10), Mister Rogers (13), 4th Doctor (24), and Bob Ross (37).)
