I watched some of that (new page, the House Flipper 2 stream) yesterday, it was fine if sort of drawn out. I eventually turned it off when some assshole thought it would be funny to put the smoke alarm beep in their house and scared the poo poo out of my dog. Go gently caress yourself Ster you weird fucker

I love Ster because of how much of a shithead he is. Every friend group needs a guy who watched too much Viva La Bam growing up

Alternatively - it's cool when people aren't assholes.

"Being an rear end in a top hat is my schtick" is something most people usually grow out of by their 30s.

I like ster and think he has good synergy with jerma most of the time, but he's very much at his best when him and jerma are working off each other rather than ster just going for chat reactions/trying to make jerma uncomfortable.

Apparently this is the sort of content we can expect with Jerma as creative head of offbrand. The personalities are a little interchangeable, but the AI technology is definitely impressive.

Community Jermawards 2023. It’s not the same without him presenting, but still a great clip show. Tragic that the first year in the last five that Jerma didn’t host this was the year that his Homer Simpson impression got nominated for Best Impression rather than winning Worst Impression.

Finished the Jerma puzzle stream. I genuinely cannot tell if he is serious or doing a bit when he repeatedly talks about a 300 piece puzzle being difficult.

Wife and I split the stream over two days, got incredibly stoned each time we were watching and finished a 1000 piece puzzle in 5 of the 7 hours it took him to do a 300 piece puzzle.

Cry 'Mayhem!' and let slip the dogs of Wardlow.
What's the deal with Jerma why's he so popular? Seems nice and fun but like, 20k viewers is wild. I ask cause I saw a clip of him playing a Devil May Cry game and there was a crazy audio glitch and it made me laugh a lot. But he seems like just a normal guy who maybe did some weird streams in the past?

He’s a generally normal person who has a quick sense of humour and minor bad fortune follows him around, and also - chiefly - has not been cancelled.

He's consistently pretty funny on normal streams, he was fairly popular on youtube before he started streaming, and he does big event streams that get a lot of attention for their unique premises.

Jerma is an internet clown in the truest sense.


But realtalk for a moment:
With my own experiences following Jerma - for a long time I was confused by him too. I'd see him referenced everywhere but I didn't understand why and didn't "get it." For me, there's a sincerity to Jerma. Generally speaking, I find streamers to be incredibly loving obnoxious. I do not usually watch streamers and I find the whole streamer culture to be borderline insufferable. (Which, sadly, makes any stream with Jerma and others loving torture to me. Ster is especially grating to me.)

Jerma is a weird man and reality warps around him to make for the most weird and hilarious situations.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHQD9FLob_A

For the most part his streams are very very chill and just a good time. I feel like Jerma is at his best when he has the space to just talk. Because then you get him playing a game like normal and then switching to talk about how giving aliens edibles would be an act of war.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3JPo0KtK50

His brain is an interesting, weird thing. And he will frequently try to gaslight the chat even though chat is gaslighting him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN7RzOorOLQ


He will never trust chat even though chat is actually trying to help him. If you're ever watching a Jerma archive stream, look for a stream with chat in the video since that is half of the experience.

For me, what sets Jerma apart from other streamers is that he fully understands his role as "entertainment" and is always trying to put forth the best possible experience for entertaining an audience.

Its very difficult to describe but I followed Jerma almost from the start, around 2012 when he was making TF2 videos, I think its just he's got this unique blend of earnestness, amateurishness, experimentation, genuine really good humour and just being a really good natured guy. I very strongly disagree with people who don't like his stuff he does with Ster because that goes waaaaaay back and the combination of both was really special back then, but I think Ster describes it best that he is incredibly good at making absolutely nothing funny:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjEPTNsmeIA

I know you have to be careful with the parasocial stuff when it comes to streamers, but there's a unique feeling watching Jerma of loving around with your friends in a game and finding humour in almost anything. Watching him do ridiculous stuff like his experimental sketch streams makes me consider him probably one of the most experimental and innovative guys on the internet. I know its a bit of a specific and silly sense of humour, I remember back years ago other goons would hate him and considered him just some lowest common denominator type youtuber, but he has always clicked for me.
