Sun Tzu was not a war monger. After his kingdom took the capital of Chu the Wu King wanted to take over more of the neighboring kingdoms after seeing the Chu wealth. Sun Tzu retired. He only fought because the war with Chu was defensive. He didn't want to go on conquests. supposedly he died around the same time as the King.
This is like Europeans versus Chinese.
really wish the turtles vs artists one had been this fun. felt like that one went way too fast.
Confucius won!!
Ha method man wu tang clan
Confusius won
Okay, this is my favorite ERB of all time. The clever wordplay, the “B franks” chain, how Sun Tzu was peeking from behind corners while the western philosophers fought, the eastern philosophers voices, and that when the eastern philosophers were fighting, Confucious couldn’t help but try to hold back laughter (from what I saw). Everything about this Erb is fucking amazing and underrated AF.
there should be Diogenes somewhere jerking one off…
What is winning everything that increases power will to power
Socrates ended this at 1:30
Try listening this on 1.25 speed.
The guy that played Lao Tzu should do ASMR videos, he has a very soothing voice.
honestly I believe they would all end up fighting each other over there beliefs
By eastern philosophers you guys just meant Chinese and Japanese.dissapointing?
One of the best ERB videos ever done. From the matchup of opponents, to the lines with their awesome references, right down to the boss ass beat. I honestly can’t choose a side, they all won??????????
That’s MC Jin and Traphik on the East’s side lol. Battle is over
We need an Poseidon vs Zeus vs Hedes. Greek brothers fighting each other.
Confucius won
Asians win
Frank and confucious
Ayy I sees u Timothy I sees u ??
Sun Tzu is fire
well… i think northern and southern philosophers won…
PART TWO
Confusion and sun tzu won that shit!! Mainly confusion, Him and his team won but he was Fucking fire!!!
Did anyone think what Lao Tzu said here was gold? I thought "I'll make you move bitch…get out the way!" was amazing here.
Am I the only one that’s gonna say that Voltaire’s costume looks like Sir Issac Newton’s costume from season 3?
Really needed someone better than Neitzche and Voltaire. Descartes and Locke would have been far better choices than a nihilistic madman and an anti-religious idiot whose philosophy isn't remotely consistent. And Candide sucked. Or Kant, if you needed to bring some extra firepower.
Well keeping rap apart all other philosophers are midget in front of Nietzsche
"What is winning?"
Winning is when a person or a team manage to defeat an opponent in a competition or War. The ethical dilemmas on who actually wins is sometimes questionable.
Timmy DelGado?
Sun Tzu won. It is de wey.
the eastern sound like western rappers
There are many other eastern philosophers like Buddha, Shankara etc.
The Western philosophers won, eastern philosophy isn't even philosophy, it's religion
I bet this was fun to make
I don’t think Sun Tzu is a philosopher. They should have gotten Han Fei
Do the Joker vs the clown from It
Cringe
Eastern Philosophers won
(When they're battling each other in the end)
Western Philosophers:
Socrates won against Nietzsche
Socrates won against Voltaire
Nietzsche didn't battle against Socrates or Voltaire and Voltaire didn't battle against Nietzsche , but "I wouldn't exactly call myself a student of the plebe" doesn't count because reasons unknown
Eastern Philosophers:
Confucius won against Loa Tzu
Sun Tzu won against Confucius
Lao Tzu won against Sun Tzu
Sounds in 1.25 speed
Voltaire a "philosopher"
I keep coming back for the eastern philosopher’s voices and the frank chain haha. My favorite erb
the philosophers won
CHINA WIN!!!
Ha I love the end where they all end up arguing with each other, it was unique and unexpected and really funny
Sheldon Cooper vs. Dr. Gregory House please!!!!
