Lyrics
Deadpool:
Oh, is it me? Well, here's my first issue:
I barely even know enough about you to diss you!
But do you guys honestly think that I would screw this feud up
And lose to the dude a huge toothy cootchie chewed up?!
That's bananas! I do damage when I brandish my katanas!
Man, I'll slice you up then vanish in my lady bug pajamas!
I'm one of a kind; you're a xerox of your papa,
Doing temp work for Vader and odd jobs for Jabba!
I'm tight; you're mad baggy! I'm toned; you're so flappy!
Mad 'cause Sam Jackson killed your clone daddy!
Somebody oughta put a bounty on that cape!
Maybe I'll write a letter and mail it in your face!
Boba Fett:
Good thing I keep Tums in the Slave I 'cause your style makes me spacesick,
And your bars are like your old pal, Cable: fucking basic!
I'll smack a merc in the mouth if he doesn't quit running that lip off!
Bitch, who you calling clone? You're a Deathstroke ripoff!
You stole Spider-Man's eyes and Snake Eyes' weapons!
You got Wolverine's powers; man, you're comic sloppy seconds!
That Dr. Killebrew dude needs to go back to med school
'Cause right now, you're no good to me, Deadpool!
Deadpool:
Ooooh, what's that? A missile backpack?
Well, I guess you'll be alright if a fucking bird attacks!
Presenting the most overrated character anyone ever saw,
With five lines in the trilogy, and one of them was, "AAAH!"
Boba Fett:
I only need five lines 'cause I look fucking great.
You look like someone spilled lasagna on your face!
But you're worth a lot to me if I bring you back dead.
Schizophrenics pay triple: one for each head.
Deadpool:
Who you calling schizophrenic?! You've got two different voices!
You're like your holiday special, man: full of bad choices!
Boba Fett:
You think your chimichanga's hot, but you couldn't be milder.
You should've made the choice to ditch the prick from Van Wilder!
Deadpool:
And the coolest things about you got straight up abandoned!
You let a kiwi hold your gun and he fucked up your canon!
So maybe don't talk about movies 'cause you've got dick to say!
Wrap that arm dart around Jar Jar and go far, far away!
Boba Fett:
I'm a legend; you're a trend. You ain't got half the skills I got.
I'll beat your ass with one eye closed (ugh!): Boba Fetty Wap!
And then I'll call Domino's. (Ooh!) She likes what I'm shaking.
She prefers my durasteel to your Canadian bacon!
Now take a lesson from a genuine assassin who's blasting foes!
I come equipped with a full set of sick Mandalorian flows!
Everybody knows you got that power of regeneration.
Now run home and heal from this disintegration.

Trivia
General
- This is the first official battle not associated with a season.
- This is the fifth battle in which a significant section of a rapper's line(s) does not have subtitles.
- This line is, "You're like your holiday special, man," which is the only part of the verse where nothing on the screen dictated the lyrics.
- This is the first battle to have a scene where the lyrics are edited into the main video instead of at the bottom of the screen.
- This is the first battle where the iTunes version contains "vs." instead of "vs" in its title.
- Pong can be seen playing on a blue screen in Boba Fett's background.
- This is the fifth battle to feature a video game in the background, after Albert Einstein vs Stephen Hawking, Doc Brown vs Doctor Who, Artists vs TMNT, and Ghostbusters vs Mythbusters.
- This is the second time the video game has been featured in a battle, after appearing at the back of the Firehouse Headquarters in Ghostbusters vs Mythbusters.
- This is the seventh battle where both characters are fictional.
- On August 22nd, 2016, "We will be back with Season 5.5, faster than Chewbacca washes his hair" was written in the description of the video. This is a reference to the fact that Chewbacca and Boba Fett are both from the Star Wars universe.
- The quote was then changed to, "ERB will be back with a brand new rap battle this week. Keep your eyes peeled!", before the release of Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton.
- Although this is the first bonus battle, it isn't the only one, as Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg was also originally released as a bonus battle. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it unofficially became the Season 6 premiere instead.
Production
- According to a podcast, production for this battle began on October 10th, 2015, 67 days before it was released.[1]
Continuity
- This battle contains Boba Fett's second appearance, with the first being in Hitler vs Vader 3.
- This is the first battle to have an Epic Dance Battles of History since Nikola Tesla vs Thomas Edison in Season 2.
- However, it was not filmed in front of a white screen like the previous dance battles.
References
- Throughout the battle, Deadpool makes reference to the ERB series, breaking the fourth wall.
- His Elvis Presley impersonation could be a reference to his voice actor's previous role in Michael Jackson vs Elvis Presley.
- The line, "With five lines in the trilogy, and one of them was, 'AAAH!'", could be a reference to the fact that Boba Fett had five lines in the Hitler vs Vader trilogy, one of them being the Wilhelm scream.
- The line, "Who you calling schizophrenic?! You've got two different voices!", could be interpreted as a reference to the fact that Nice Peter voiced Boba Fett in this battle, while he was voiced by Ray William Johnson in Hitler vs Vader 3.
Errors
- In the cover art and the thumbnail, part of Deadpool's suit is missing on his left side.
- Deadpool's suit reflects magenta during parts of the battle. This was caused by the blue screen used in the video.
- Deadpool's twin katanas and Boba Fett's jetpack disappear and reappear several times throughout the battle.
- In the line, "And lose to the dude a huge toothie cootchie chewed up?!", holes in Deadpool's face appeared during a few frames. This line is also misspelled, as "toothie" should be "toothy".
- In the line, "Good thing I keep Tums in the Slave I 'cause your style makes me spacesick," "Slave I" appeared incorrectly as "Slave 1" in the subtitles.
- In the line, "Bitch, who you calling clone? You're a Deathstroke ripoff!", "ripoff" appeared incorrectly as "rip off" in the subtitles.
- In the line, "You stole Spider-Man's eyes and Snake Eyes' weapons!", Spider-Man was misspelled as "Spiderman" in the subtitles.
- In the line, "That Dr. Killebrew dude needs to go back to med school," Killebrew was misspelled as "Killbrew" in the subtitles.
- In the line, "Ooooh, what's that? A missile backpack?", the word missile was misspelled as "missle" in the subtitles.
- In the line, "You've got two different voices!", part of Deadpool's left arm and katana were cut off.
- In the line, "You're like your holiday special, man: full of bad choices!," Deadpool's feet went outside the panel. Additionally, the line "You're like your holiday special, man" is not written anywhere on the screen while Deadpool says it.
- In the same line, just before the next line, "full of bad choices.", Deadpool's head in the bottom panel is seen changing position drastically between frames, looking like it was cut from one take to the next.
- In the line, "They should've made the choice to ditch the prick from Van Wilder," the Boba Fett that was spinning on his head was missing his antenna.
- In the line, "So maybe don't talk about movies 'cause you've got dick to say!", a yellow cross briefly appeared on a street tough's knife while trying to stab Deadpool.
- After the explosion in the line, "I'll beat your ass with one eye closed (ugh!): Boba Fetty Wap!", the Rebel soldier closest to the left got part of his blaster and foot cut off.
- While Boba Fett was doing backflips at 2:07, some of his helmet reflected blue, thus making parts of the helmet invisible due to the blue screen.
- In the line, "Everybody knows you got that power of regeneration.", the footage of Boba Fett breakdancing is flipped horizontally, causing his helmet antenna, cape, and other asymmetrical aspects of his costume to appear on the wrong side.
- The subtitles from Boba Fett's last line continued briefly into the "Who won?" slide.
