History WebVideo / Jerma985

* OverlyPrePreparedGag: Jerma is well-known among Twitch viewers for setting up jokes that often have ''months'' of buildup between the setup and the [[BrickJoke eventual payoff]]. The most legendary of these is the time when Jerma and Star [[spoiler: ''pretended that [[WeUsedToBeFriends they were no longer friends]]'' for upwards of '''two years''' before Star broke into his house during a ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'' stream the latter was hosting and dramatically reveal that they had been planning this all along.]]

* ItsPronouncedTroPAY: Played for laughs by Jerma in the 'Bring On The Thundah!' video, when Jerma initially pronounced phlogistinator(flow-jis-ti-nay-tor) as flow-g-ais-a-nay-tor.

* UnwinnableByMistake: In the beginning of 'The Broken "Bus Driver Simulation" Game' video, Jerma's bus got clipped into the ground for some odd reason, essentially making him stuck to the ground.
--> '''Jerma''': It's fun.

* RealityEnsues: Immediately after starting up "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cVnKfh9Y1Y The Rat Tattoo Murder]]", Jerma's chat prods him into going to trial right then and there... despite not having '''any''' evidence. As a result, [[TooDumbToLive the case is quickly thrown out due to incompetence]].

* BreakoutCharacter: Gabe "The Glue Man" Degrossi was initially a JokeCharacter in the first Jerma Rumble that Jerma said had won a Twitter poll on the shittiest character in the event. However, after [[LethalJokeCharacter almost winning]] Jerma Rumble 1 and becoming TheRival to JWF!Jerma in Jermania 2014 after an altercation during Jerma Rumble 2, he has since become a consistent recurring character in the JWF universe and even made an appearance alongside Jerma in [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} Vinewrestle 2019.]]

Most of his new content is on his Twitch channel, found [[https://www.twitch.tv/jerma985 here]]. On [=YouTube=] he has shifted to his second channel [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL7DDQWP6x7wy0O6L5ZIgxg "2ndJerma"]], where condensed highlights of his streams are uploaded. They are edited by a team led by Holy Mackeral the Third, who used to make unofficial compilation of Jerma's [=VODs=] on his own [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWQfOwdO0OfuKTb6p4-P1Ag channel.]] You can still find Jerma's old [=YouTube=] channel [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK3kaNXbB57CLcyhtccV_yw here]], which has all of his content from 2011-2016.

[=Jerma985=] (real name Jeremy Harrington) is a gaming and comedy streamer, formerly focusing on a Website/YouTube channel before he made the switch to Website/{{Twitch}} streaming. While Jerma was once known for his ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' and other gaming videos, alongside being the hilarious vitriolic best bud and butt monkey on many of {{WebVideo/STAR}}'s videos, he has since come into his own. He is hilarious in a very unique way and oftentimes insightful in his gaming videos and livestreams, playing various video games either by himself or with other people.

* AuthorAppeal: Widely known and infamous among his fanbase for his love of pro wrestling, ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', Adam Sandler movies, and Pac-Man.

** Jerma himself is one even in his own videos, whether in the hands of his friends or just being played around by fate even when he is playing by himself.

-->'''Bill''': I kinda just like to watch

* TheBusCameBack: Sort of. Five years after he was KilledOffForReal in "Jerma Rumble Live Action"

* TrappedByGamblingDebts: During a ''VideoGame/{{Noita}}'' stream, Jerma makes a bet he would owe chat 500 million gift subs (equal to 2.5 billion $USD) if his next shot doesn't hit an enemy. Which he does. Ever since his lost bet, his chat holds the debt over his head to make him do ridiculous things to clear away at it. Jerma has managed to ''double'' his money owed with even more failed bets.

** So when will we hear Jerma fully explained his story of chugging a whole sleeve of Oreo and then vomit on his mom's bed after hearing him saying just a tad bit of it in the 'Bring On The Thundah' video?

** B.F. Bugleberry, (basically just Jerma in a goofy latex mask and telling "scary" stories in a [[TheUnintelligible nearly incomprehensible voice]]) who ''swept'' the Jerma Awards category for "[[MedalOfDishonor Worst Joke of the Decade]]". Nearly ''5,000'' people [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere left the stream]] when he appeared. Jerma, of course, [[TrollingCreator brought him back]], because the combination of Bugleberry's sheer lameness, [[OverlyLongGag excessive verbosity]], and the chat's seething hatred of him wraps around the other side to being funny again.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Jerma's comedy thrives on this trope. In his earlier Youtube videos, he played this role with STAR_. The two would bicker and playfully insult each other, laughing at each other’s antics. Since Jerma began streaming, he instead plays this role with the ''chat', taking their absurd suggestions and getting into petty, comical arguments with thousands of people at once.

* YouAreFat: In '[[https://youtu.be/fAQbb7aHYvE Fat Guy Engie]],' Jerma equips [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 the Engineer]] with the "Level 3 Chin" item, which makes the Engineer look fat and has him recline in a chair. At one point, a player on the enemy team finds Jerma's Engineer, but instead of killing him, the player just types "fatty" in the chat before leaving. Jerma just laughs, although it's hard to tell if he noticed the insult or if he was just laughing at the other player simply walking away.
