There're all sorts of ways he weakens the challenge by making Stan crazy. But making him crazy enables Stan to do what Eminem and Marshall Mathers and Slim Shady would never have allowed themselves to do on record, to let loose with unmitigated, angry self-righteousness.
You see, I know these cadences, "Well, you walk into the room like a CAMEL and then you FROWN, you put your eyes in your POCKET, and your nose on the GROUND; there oughtta be a LAW against you comin' aROUND" and "all the JIM-JIMS in this town, and all the POLITICIANS making crazy SOUNDS, and everybody PUTTIN' everybody else DOWN, and all the dead BODIES piled up in MOUNDS" and "When you know as well as me you’d rather see me paralyzed, why don’t you just COME out once and SCREAM it." But you know, I think Stan does it better.
"I hope you can't sleep and you DREAM about it
And when you DREAM I hope you can't SLEEP and you SCREAM about it
I hope your conscience EATS at you and you can't BREATHE without me"
