Really didn't like this one. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}And I would have felt that was even if they didn't bring Cosby into it, but that made it way worse.

What in the actual hell was that? There was just no damn flow to that at all.
Not only were most of the verses weak as hell(I think the strongest line was Carlin working in his Seven Dirty Words), but the transition from one rapper to the next was just so...disjointed. Which is weird as hell because they seemed to master that a long time ago. This...structurally this is their worst battle yet, imo.

Quite lame; especially given the comedians involved it should have been great.

I really liked this one. I consider it the best one of the season so far.

Yeah, they did this same general concept WAY better with Steven Spielberg vs. Alfred Hitchcock like...5 years ago.

The thing I hate most about these multiple character battles is that everyone only gets one verse, which means the only one who actually gets to respond to anything that was said by anyone else is the one who goes second (Pryor responding to Carlin, in this case). All the others (Cosby doesn't count) take shots at Carlin, but since he went first before Cosby, Rivers and Williams even show up, he doesn't get to clap back at any of them and instead just stands there taking it all like an idiot, and Robin basically 'wins' by default since he goes last and nobody gets the chance to diss him.
I might have liked it better if Carlin had gotten a second verse after Robin's, especially since he barely said anything of substance in the first one. But as it is, this is definitely my least favorite battle of this season.

Everything about this one sucked really. Weak verses, disjointed flow, and the only one that even sounded like who he was supposed to be was Cosby which---yikes.

Yeah, got to say I was not a fan of this one. Even as someone that used to love Cosby's stand up....holy crap, why put him in this in 2019? Why would you ever, EVER think that's a good idea? "Joan" getting to take shots at his crimes wasn't funny either, it was just awkward, especially when Cosby was acting drugged before her reveal for comedic effect.
Robin was disappointing, both as a Robin Williams fan and as someone that thought Lloyd would be able to do a better impersonation of him.
Ignoring those two aspects, like a bunch of you have said it felt really disjointed and the verses were weak and something else that I consider an even bigger sin, they were boring.

This was bad. I liked Carlin, the first part of Joan Rivers was okay...the rest of this was BAD.
There was so little characterisation. I understand they are stand up comics, there's less to work with than movie directors (who have more elaborate & visual creations you can work with) and Russian leaders (who each come from a different era and a different context) but compare the comedian video with
The Directors
And...
The Russian leaders.
Those were SO much more inspired.

New one up. Jacques Cousteau vs. Steve Irwin:
This one isn't so good.

I actually thought Lloyd was great as Irwin, but yeah, I wasn't feeling Peter as Cousteau.

Is it accurate to say that, as far as vocal work goes, Lloyd is just way, way better than Peter?

Lloyd nailed it with the voice, though the whole beat for this latest rap was very underwhelming and that maybe more than anything hurt Peter's part of it.
And unless I missed it, no stingray reference.

Adam vs Eve was the last one I was really surprised with. Robocop ve Terminator is the best one though

My favourite is still Jack the Ripper vs Hannibal Lecter
Honestly I prefer when they cover the historical characters taking on each other, just so much more to work with. Best one for me this season is Che Guevara vs Guy Fawkes
