The series was started on September 9th, 2013, with every battle from Season 2 and the first half of Season 3. Other battles include Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg and Guy Fawkes vs Che Guevara.
ERB Translations
Battles from the first four seasons (except episodes 3, 4, 5, 8, 11, 13, and 48) and Deadpool vs Boba Fett have separate videos that lack subtitles, titled "[CC][Translated]";[3] but, only battles from the middle third of Season 2 to the first half of Season 3 are publicly shown on the channel.
However, starting from Season 5, translated subtitles are shown over the original battle rather than in a separate video. When asked if more "[CC][Translated]" videos would be released, the ERB channel replied that it is "looking at what improvements can be made in terms of translations."[4]
Due to YouTube's changes to pre-2017 unlisted videos, all "[CC] Translated" videos before the middle third of Season 2 and after the first half of Season 3 have since been made private.
Compilations
On December 22nd, 2018, a Christmas video compilation of musical works by Nice Peter and EpicLLOYD (including Donald Trump vs Ebenezer Scrooge, Dis Raps For Hire - Episode 10: Gift Raps For Hire, an episode of Picture Songs, an episode of the Monday Show, and other music from the two) was uploaded on the channel.[5] It was the first compilation uploaded to the channel. More compilations were posted on the channel, including compilations of battles of different actors, and collections from different seasons.
