"We’ve got MC Grindr and DJ Steve."
PASSIVE opens by mocking STORM & AD as a strange duo rather than serious opponents. Grindr is a dating app often associated with gay men, so the line also sets up the sexuality-based jokes that appear throughout the battle. It is battle material and should not be treated as factual.
"Look like the mascots for CBBC."
This references CBBC, the BBC’s children’s television brand. PASSIVE uses it to make STORM & AD look childish, cartoonish and unserious. It is a clean visual insult.
"You’re the bitch in the X-Files."
This references The X-Files, a TV show about strange and unexplained phenomena. PASSIVE uses it to say the opponents give off weird, suspicious energy. It fits the “strange activity” theme.
"STORM ain’t got no substance."
This is a direct credibility attack. PASSIVE says STORM has the name and image, but no real depth behind it. It is simple, but it sets up later weather/STORM flips.
"What is this white boy doing in rap? You ain’t DEENO, PASSIVE or KANDI."
PASSIVE references other white battlers on the PenGame platform to say STORM is not at their level. It is a platform-aware bar because it only fully lands if you know the PenGame scene.
"You look like Robin Thicke in his prime."
This references Robin Thicke, the American singer known for a smooth pop/R&B image. PASSIVE uses it to mock AD or STORM’s look, suggesting they look more like a soft pop singer than a battle rapper.
"AD’s like Justin Timberlake."
This continues the white R&B/pop-star comparison. Justin Timberlake is used as a contrast to battle-rap toughness. The follow-up “rock your body” also connects to Timberlake’s song Rock Your Body.
"They’re looking like the real-life version of them two Matrix agents."
This references The Matrix, where the agents wear suits and look stiff, controlled and uniform. PASSIVE uses it to mock STORM & AD’s appearance and stage presence.
"AD, I’ve got an inkling, your name’s Adam and STORM is your sibling… Adam and Steve."
This is the biggest name-flip of the battle. PASSIVE turns AD into “Adam” and STORM into “Steve,” flipping the biblical phrase Adam and Eve into Adam and Steve, a common gay-joke phrase. It lands because it is simple, unexpected and tailored to both names.
"Sunday league versus the Champions League."
PASSIVE uses football levels to compare the teams. Sunday league means amateur football, while the Champions League is elite European football. He is saying STORM & AD are amateur compared with GRAMS & PASSIVE.
"He don’t know about Golden Grahams."
This references Golden Grahams, the breakfast cereal, and flips GRAMS’ name. It is a light but effective name-based punch because GRAMS can connect to “Grahams.”
"Both of their dads done coke, so facing the GRAMS could end paralytic."
This is drug wordplay. “Grams” can refer to drug weight, while “done coke” continues the drug angle. “Paralytic” also means extremely drunk or unable to function. It is dark battle material, not a factual claim.
"You both sniff more than a dog at a rave."
This is another drug-use joke. Dogs sniff, raves are associated with drugs, and PASSIVE uses the image to accuse the opponents of sniffing substances. It is an exaggerated battle insult.
"You look like James Charles."
This references James Charles, the American makeup influencer. PASSIVE uses the comparison as an appearance and sexuality-coded insult. It is a pop-culture visual punch.
"You look like Harry Potter and your mum will get muggled."
This references Harry Potter, where non-magical people are called Muggles. PASSIVE flips “Muggle” into “muggled,” meaning robbed or attacked. It is a clean pop-culture wordplay bar.
"It’s not AD before Christ."
This is one of PASSIVE’s smartest name flips. AD means Anno Domini, the calendar era after Christ, while BC means before Christ. PASSIVE uses AD’s name to say the timeline is wrong and the opponent is not important enough to come “before Christ.”
"Ask the weatherman, this STORM looks predictable."
This is a direct STORM name flip. Weather forecasts predict storms, so PASSIVE uses that to say STORM is predictable as a battler. It is clean and tailored.
"It’s on sight like a JCB."
A JCB is construction machinery often used on sites. PASSIVE flips “on sight” into “on site,” linking confrontation to a building site. It is a neat UK reference.
"If he took a camera with a fisheye lens in his nose, it would look like a snow globe."
This is a visual appearance joke. A fisheye lens makes images look rounded and distorted, while a snow globe is round and glassy. PASSIVE uses it to exaggerate the size and shape of the opponent’s nose.
"What TV show are you from? It’s Ant and Dickhead and Dickhead and Dom."
This references two British TV duos: Ant and Dec and Dick and Dom. PASSIVE flips both into insults, making STORM & AD look like a comedy double act rather than serious battlers.
"If I get dark and spiritual, roll your nan’s ashes up in my living room."
This is a dead-relative shock bar. It should be treated strictly as battle material. The line is designed to sound extreme and disrespectful, not to state fact.
"I’ll do STORM like Ant-Man."
This references Ant-Man, the Marvel character who can shrink and fight in unusual ways. PASSIVE uses it as a pop-culture threat, tying STORM’s name into superhero-style imagery.
