Today's matches:

Bonaparte > Dynamite

I mean... yeah this is another example of badness from season 1. I feel bad for characters like Bonaparte and Genghis Khan who got wasted on dumb opponents. I just don't think Napoleon Dynamite warranted an inclusion and he's just not very "epic". Yeah it's a fine impersonation of the character, but he's literally one of these easiest and most frequently impersonated characters. There aren't any really good lines. Way too many short jokes that aren't super funny. I guess the "only type of dynamite that's never going to bang" would get my vote as the best line from the battle.

Wrights > Marios

I have a huge bias towards R&L so I'm going to choose them if they appear. That said, it's elementary here and not close because I hate the take on the Mario Bros. here. Like there's a small attempt to do an accurate Mario but Luigi is not even Luigi, he's just a guy screaming dressed like Luigi. I'm not really sure what Peter was thinking about here because Luigi has a set character and I'm not sure why you don't play him the right way here. Again, it's a product of the early seasons I think. I did love a lot of lines from the Wrights though. The Donkey Kong punchline is great.

West > East

This is a tough battle and some people don't like the longform style of ERB but they're usually my favorite battles. This one was pretty awesome and chock full of great references for all those involved. It would be hard for me to pick just one line from this battle but if I had to I think I'd lean "I'll be picking about your wu with my method, man". It's fun when the groups turn on one another too. Just a ton of great stuff here.

Jordan > Ali

Very even battle, and the better appearance from K&P. Jordan's opening was very strong and has the "double dribble balls that nobody can see" line which is savage. But the "came back a Wizard, like Gandalf the Black" was super dirty too. I only give it to Jordan because what the heck, the first Space Jam does NOT suck.
