History WebVideo / Jerma985

[=Jerma985=] (real name Jeremy Elbertson) is a gaming and comedy streamer, formerly focusing on a Website/YouTube channel before he made the switch to Website/{{Twitch}} streaming. While Jerma got his start as the vitriolic best bud and butt monkey of [[{{WebVideo/STAR}} STAR_]] in many ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' videos, he has since developed a reputation for his unique sense of humor and outside-the-box video and stream ideas.

* BleachedUnderpants: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-Zagged]]: in his oldest videos, he would lean hard into the "[[{{Southies}} aggressive, foul-mouthed Bostonian]]" stereotype. When his MLG Grandpa videos started taking off and he signed on with Creator/{{Machinima}}, he would tone down his own language and let "Grandpa" do all the swearing, while "Jerma" would take on the role of Grandpa's OnlySaneMan caretaker. According to Jerma, this latter image persisted until STAR_ uploaded "[=TF2=]: Ruiner of Fun" and "[=TF2=]: Jerma is Mad pt.2", which showed a rather candid image of an unfiltered Jerma getting very angry at a video game. After this, he seemingly stopped caring about filtering his language.

* CallBack: After not touching [=GTA4=] for quite some time, [[NoAttentionSpan "the truck punchline"]] finally made a comeback in 'Battle of the Brainless Bots', now in the form of [=MvM=] tanks!

* DaylightHorror: In "Castle Griffinsteed", [[spoiler: Jerma goes down through the first level of the castle's dungeons only to [[MindScrew emerge outside]], in a brightly lit sun-dappled field with [[SugarBowl a rainbow overhead and populated entirely by bunnies]]. Human-sized bunnies, all of them identical, with huge staring eyes and blank expressions.]] Although PlayedForLaughs, it's still probably the creepiest scene in Jerma's entire repertoire even ''before'' [[spoiler: he finds them eating [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies human meat.]]]]

** In the 'Kingpin - The Game of Swears' video, after Jerma was brushed off and told to 'kiss their ass' by a couple of gangsters, initially Jerma complied peacefully, then turned around, pulled out a rocket launcher and spam rockets down the tunnel where the gangsters once were.

* LightmareFuel: "[[spoiler:Castle Griffinsteed]]" and "[[spoiler:Dork Cube]]" have some suddenly gory moments that are almost entirely PlayedForLaughs, but still manage to be surprisingly creepy due to how [[SurpriseCreepy totally unexpected]] they were.

* SurpriseCreepy: [[spoiler:Dork Cube! and Patch Notes.]] Also, the "[[spoiler:[[SugarBowl Bunny Town]]]]" from Castle Griffinsteed.

* WhatAnIdiot: STAR_ invoked this in 'The Corner Creeps' video twice, both when Jerma tried to go through the door that can not be opened on his side and when he failed to get a single kill during the kritz in the last clip.

* SpeedRun: An unconventional example in 32 player CTF Speed Running with STAR_. The objectives is that they must steal the intel 3 times within a time limit on a packed Turbine map (one of the most defense-heavy maps in the game), which is harder than it sounds, especially in the second run.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Count Chocula in "Jerma Rumble 3." [StylisticSuck Intentionally slapdash]] in design and dubbed by Jerma as one of the numerous "[[JokeCharacter shitty characters]]", he stays in for an impressively long time (lasting for almost half the video as only the third contestant introduced) and manages to pull off ''seven'' eliminations, the highest single-match score of any Jerma Rumble contestant. In the end, none of the other characters have a chance at eliminating him, it takes [[spoiler:Demon Lord Zeraxos ''throwing him into Hell'' to knock him out of the match.]]

** In the '[=FootLOL=] Fun Time!' video, Jerma's plan was to spam a lot of footballs [[note]]or soccer balls for the yankees[[/note]] and get his players to score goals. However, he did not account that STAR_'s players can do the same as well along with his tactical meteorites(MakesSenseInContext). By the end of the clip, STAR_ got '''40 goals''' to Jerma's '''4'''.

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}} 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.

* EnslavedTongue: His interpretation of [[Videogame/{{Deltarune}} Spamton's]] [[Hyperlink Blocked]] is something Spamton physically cannot say. Upon reaching this text, Jerma simply makes a random noise.

* DaylightHorror: In "Castle Griffinsteed", [[spoiler: Jerma goes down through the first level of the castle's dungeons only to [[MindScrew emerge outside]], in a brightly lit sun-dappled field with [[SugarBowl a rainbow overhead and populated entirely by bunnies]]. Human-sized bunnies, all of them identical, with [[UncannyValley huge staring eyes and blank expressions.]]]] Although PlayedForLaughs, it's still probably the creepiest scene in Jerma's entire repertoire even ''before'' [[spoiler: he finds them eating [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies human meat.]]]]

--> '''Jerma''': The toilet Sheriff? I don't want to do the Toilet Sheriff...You know who I am? I'm Jerma985! This is drivel to me!

* InterfaceScrew: Jerma lampshaded it after he started up FootLOL in the 'FootLOL Fun Time!' video, with the game's start button looking similar to a Youtube play button.

* LemmingCops: Jerma and STAR_ used this logic of the GTA4 cops in 'What's Dis in Road?' video so that the cops launch off the ramp. The result is hilarious and epic.

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: The main Shtick with the 'Jerma Rumble', there are twenty contestants competing in a Royal Rumble match. The contestants ranged from fictional(Monopoly Guy) to real(Ma3laa), from obscure(the Egg) to famous(Grandpa), to just being involved for the hell of it(Benjamin Franklin).

* MoodWhiplash: "Castle Griffinsteed." It starts out as a fairly standard DarkFantasy tale right up until Jerma [[spoiler: grabs a [[AnachronismStew shotgun]]]], then goes from funny to creepy when he finds [[spoiler:[[CannibalClan the bunnies]]]], then back to absurd when he sees [[spoiler:the zombies]], and finally ends in a massive AntiClimax [[spoiler:when he guns down his own ancestor for a [[ComicallySmallBribe bag of chips.]]]]

* MockSurpriseReaction: In 'Damnation-Breakfast Time with Doofus and Goofus!', he and {{WebVideo/STAR}}_ did an improvised skit with the game's weird glitch in a clip:

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: In 'The Broken "Bus Driver Simulation" Game, Jerma edited in a couple of clips from [=GTA4=] of him driving in a red bus at a neckbreaking speed.
