Jerma985 (2ndJerma on YouTube), perceived "real" name Jeremy Elbertson and true name Jeremy A. Harrington (also goes by "Frank Ugly")[1] is a compact Twitch streamer, YouTuber, voice actor, world famous gaming tournament champion, serial killer, professional wrestler, and world record holder for smallest man and poop gamer known for his eccentric personality, sense of humor, overall friendliness, long balls, and his ego-fueled tirades about bathroom tiles.

Jerma has never spoken using his real voice. Fans theorize that his real voice was a supernatural weapon of some kind where upon hearing it, you are immediately transported to a realm of existence that is incomprehensible by the human mind. A realm where you are driven to insanity by immense, Lovecraftian horrors and an infinitely expanding pit of enveloping darkness.

Jerma lastly lived in an undisclosed location before dying in Záhony, as he has successfully evaded federal surveillance teams via an elaborate catalog of illusions, prerecorded streams, Jerma lookalikes, and holograms. These searches were conducted as part of a global effort to put an end to his murder streak. If you see this man, notify your local authorities immediately and leave the area quickly and discreetly. (AVOID ANY AND ALL CLOWN CARS UNTIL HE IS STOPPED).

After a Yearly Channel Doctor's Appointment, Jerma gravitated away from YouTube and hasn't made a video on his main channel since, stating that the channel is now an archive and now focusing instead on live streams. His second channel, 2ndJerma, is home to hundreds of stream highlight videos. These were previously edited exclusively by Holy Mackerel the Third and Bellusdaisy, but in 2020 the channel underwent a restructuring where new editors, some of whom were known by the community for their unofficial work, were brought on board to remedy the issue of edited content being very far behind schedule.

History

Personal life

Jeremy was born with an extra set of hands on September 22nd, 1985, and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. He had a pretty thick Boston accent back in the day. He had a perfect nose before one day he fell on his back on a trampoline, and his knees came back and hit him in the face. One of his childhood friends is Matt (Burgah Boy). He would often call adult hotlines during his childhood. For more information, go to the serious page.

YouTube (Jerma985) Era

Jerma's 2011 Youtube channel.

The first video on his YouTube channel, aptly titled TF2 - Spy: Goldrush (First Commentary), featured Jerma playing TF2 as the Spy and introducing himself to YouTube. After support from people encouraging him to continue, he created the Jermaverse with the video "Grandpa plays Insaniquarium," which introduced the first Jerma character of all time: Grandpa.

An earlier Jerma, back when he was good, righteous, and innocent.

Playing random games, mostly Team Fortress 2 or GTA 4, as well as doing live commentaries, Jerma's presence began to grow. At 500 subscribers, he did a couple of bicep curls, and at 2000 subscribers he dressed up as the Scout and threw cakes at Burgah Boy.

Jerma eventually met and began collaborating with other YouTubers such as Shibby2142, MLC_St3alth, Boo, Etalyx, and eventually Ster. Jerma and Ster's friendship is a classic bromance, inspiring many fanfics in our beloved internet (*Take note that reading them will be at your own risk, and Jerma Lore Wiki accepts no liability for any psychological trauma incurred). Jerma collaborates with a few of these people to this day.

During the 'tuber era, Jerma was primarly known as a TFtuber, and the big buddy of Ster (going by "Star_" at the time). Ster and Jerma were two of the biggest TFtubers during Valve's peak support of TF2 in the early to mid-2010's, and possibly the most impactful 'tubers of the whole TF2 community to this day. Ster was the cool "awesome sauce" one and Jerma was the Joker. Although they were both making content besides TF2 throughout this time, such as Jerma's shitty game showcases and Ster's "Basically" series, their TF2 content was always the most popular and what they were most known for. During the later "What happened to the old STAR_?"

The Jermaverse was created when Grandpa owed $6000 to each member of Jerma's audience for losing a bet by failing to be "MLG." Jerma decided to create the Jermaverse after a clairvoyant ster foresaw his fate of being hit in the face in the shower, which Jerma did not avoid.

Jerma was partnered with Machinima around 2012. He has since said that it wasn't a great experience.

Jerma proceeded to create an underground fighting tournament called Super Sma— Jerma Rumble! after being taught by Danny Trejo how to fight. In this tournament, he pits his own characters against each other for his amusement. Jerma Rumble was later followed by two sequels and a spin-off known as Jermania 2014, and numerous stream rumbles.

On July 8th, 2014, Jerma said he was volunteering at an animal shelter, because of his love for animals and his urge to help those in need, even though he obviously did it to sate his hunger for raw flesh, which foreshadows his descent into madness

On September 30th, 2014, Jerma uploaded a video announcing that he's writing a "choose your own adventure" book. Only a few updates came regarding the progress on the book, one of which stated he'll be putting the side-project on the back burner for now. He's since announced that the book project is cancelled.

On August 29th, 2016, the long-awaited continuation of the Jerma Rumble event arrived in the form of a live-action Jerma Rumble. This video was teased by Jerma for a long time, being constantly delayed for many reasons such as not being able to find a ring or people who would like to participate in the Rumble. Jerma said that he has spent between $7,500 - $9,000 on the making of the video. Once he passed his initial budget, he apparently just stopped counting.

Jerma Rumble Live was the last actual video (not update video) he ever uploaded to his main channel, and was the bookend as his life as a Youtuber. From that point onward, he decided to almost completely transition to live, variety content on Twitch instead of prerecorded, edited, and sometimes scripted content on Youtube. He addresses this new outlook of content creation on his last few update videos he uploaded to his main channel, such as "Let's talk about some stuff". Although his initial plan was to continue to use his main channel for big projects like Jerma Rumble Live and a second channel for stream highlights, he gave up on making anymore edited videos for the main channel after a few weeks/months. He eventually decided that his main channel would act as an an "archive" for his old content.

Jerma also participated in several charity events (e.g Tip of the Hats 2014/15/16). Jerma himself donated several hundred or, more likely, even thousands of dollars to charity.

Twitch (2ndJerma) Era

On September 11th, 2016, Jerma's second channel, 2ndJerma, was created. As Jerma initially planned in his update video, The Philosophy Going Forward, the second channel was designated for highlights of Jerma's streams, while the main channel was planned to be for content that Jerma puts more effort into and actually feels like working on. Although the main channel is now treated as an archive, the 2nd channel is still in use as was originally intended. The main editor of 2ndJerma, Holy Mackerel the Third (Mack), made his debut into the hellscape of Jerma here.

From this point forward, Jerma's main form of direct output is on Twitch, in the form of streams. Each stream could be anywhere from 5-12 hours long depending on how much Jerma hates himself that day. He has no consistent schedule, but generally streams a few times a week (unless he breaks all his bones), and has a command that you can type in chat to see when he's planning to stream next: "!sus". He has no direct involvement with 2ndJerma unless something wacky happens.

Initially, 2ndJerma's role as an official source of stream highlights of a Bostonian E-clown was smoothly sailing, with the highlight of a stream being uploaded a few days after the initial broadcast. However, as the years went on, Jerma just kept broadcasting for longer and more frequently, which caused a backlog to start piling up for the 2nd channel. The time between Jerma streaming and a highlight video being made of it was getting longer and longer. At its worst, the 2nd channel would be at least a year behind from the current events in the Jermaverse on Twitch. This massive gap in time led fans to refer to the uncut Twitch broadcasts as "the manga" and the more-condensed 2ndJerma videos being "the anime". Sometimes 2ndJerma would be behind by entire arcs, like when the Vegas Arc was happening live, but 2ndJerma was still on the Escape From Boston Arc. Over time, Jerma and Mack realized there was way too many streams and not enough editors. Other editors have been hired to keep up with the massive output that Jerma has. These other editors were originally fan-made highlight channels of Jerma's Twitch content, like Mack before he got hired. Some of these editors include JackEdit and SuperDazza.

On December 9th, 2017, Jerma's chat began to riot because he didn't play the original Zoombinis. Jerma ignored his fans, as he had a God complex at the time, and began murdering his fans when they crawled up his tower with a broom. He even played pool with their skulls. Later, ten thousand of his fans broke into his office, stabbing him and tearing out his intestines as he tried to defend himself with said broom. He made eye contact with one of his fans, who was waving the flag of the Logical Journey of the Zoombinis, causing Jerma's life to flash before his eyes, realizing that he was wrong and that the Logical Journey of the Zoombinis was superior. He was then thrown from the tower, with one of his superpowered fans saving him with flight. He made a full recovery in the hospital.[2]

Jerma after slaughtering Santa in cold blood

On December 23rd, 2017, Jerma murdered Santa on stream by knocking his head off with a 2×4. Jerma is currently on the run from international authorities, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Jerma now streams out of an undisclosed location (Las Vegas, Nevada) as his pursuit by international authorities and mercenary groups continues, seeing as though killing Santa has put an extremely large bounty on his head. Despite his murder of Santa, Jerma still has an unending bloodlust and desire for bits, as well as terrible jokes.

On January 12th, 2018, Jerma sold his soul to the Devil to stream on Thursday. [3] It seems now that he has sold his soul to the minion of Demon Lord Zeraxos, and there is no true hope that Jerma will ever right his wrongs and be a force for good, ever again.

Jerma snapping the neck of Short Jerma, killing it instantly

On February 1st, 2018, Jerma recorded a “Meme Funeral” to “honor” all of the memes that died during the Kill The Meme Stream. However, this was not an ordinary funeral—in fact, many likened it to a massacre. Jerma streamed himself murdering and throwing away his many beloved memes into a trash bag for the world to see, and now he is currently being targeted by the Meme Overlords for his senseless killings.

Jerma has hired an elite death squad using his endless amount of bits and Baldcoin with one goal in mind—to capture or kill anyone who attempts to resurrect these memes, in an attempt to completely destroy their history and identity. Countless people have died or have been kidnapped after the formation of Jerma's "Meme Police," or MP for short. Those captured are transported to a blacksite in Massachusetts, but its exact location and purpose are unknown. Gaining the attention of international authorities yet again, Jerma and his "Meme Police" have now been labeled "An International Terrorist Organization," and the capture or destruction of Jerma and his group is now a top priority across the world. [4]

Jerma smiling as he prepares to murder someone in cold blood for their use of banned memes

On February 17th, 2018, Jerma streamed himself playing multiple light gun games, taking pleasure in the death and carnage he caused in the virtual world. It is possible that Jerma streamed these light gun games to show his prowess with a gun, to scare off anyone who might want to use any banned memes or challenge his rule.

However, a peculiar twist of fate occurred on February 26th, 2018, when Jerma exclaimed on stream to the joy of thousands, "Memes are now allowed, you have overthrown the king!" It is uncertain whether or not this measure made by Jerma is temporary or permanent, or that the Meme Police will remain for other purposes or be dissolved, but it seems that Jerma has been defeated by Twitch Chat from their constant rebellious use of the once-banned memes.

During his stream of Monster Rancher 2 on March 17th, 2018, Jerma revealed that he has not left his streaming room in months and that he "gets fed through the window." While many simply claim that this is because he is in hiding from international authorities, some speculate that Jerma might have been trapped inside his streaming room before the incident with Santa. Some even say that Jerma is being held captive by some mysterious force and that the only way to escape from the streaming room is to adhere to what this strange force wants. Is the "real" Jerma being held captive and forced to do these horrible actions? And if so, who has captured him? Or is his reclusiveness simply a way for evil Jerma to hide from authorities? It looks like we might never know unless Jerma states it otherwise.

To evade law enforcement and to feed his crippling gambling addiction, Jerma moved to the city of Las Vegas, Nevada. To prevent custom agents from recognizing him and to save on money, Jerma took a hot balloon containing multiple other people and a month's supply of Caprese Sun and Velveeta. When he emerged in Las Vegas a month later, he was unshaven, malnourished and near-death, and had witnessed all of his friends he had met on the journey horribly die in combat.

On January 23rd, 2019, Jerma died live on stream, as predicted during his streaming of Pandemic a year prior. Chat was heartbroken, and watched his ghost struggle for several minutes before it managed to claw itself back into his body. Jerma is now a sentient zombie, and is only kept from rotting from a steady supply of Cheez-Its and Wine Coolers.

Local steamer goes NUTS

On February 24th, 2019, Jerma had a brief meltdown in chat, calling out GrillMasterXBBQ, yelling at his fans, and even JEBAITING them.

On September 21st, 2019, Jerma spent at least $20,000 dollars on an elaborate Carnival stream with help from AndyMark. Chat took control of various robots, abusing them to the point of breaking them, while Jerma gradually went insane and was dunked in a tank of ammonia piss water multiple times. He dabbed twice and sneezed once, on stream. He was eventually blown away by 300mph winds and was presumed dead, only to be rediscovered in Las Vegas, having been carried there by the winds.

During the bits reading segment of the Tony Hawk's Underground stream on January 31st, 2020, Jerma has revealed he procures the majority of his daily nutrients from pouches of baby food, which he proceeded to further demonstrate by consuming one on stream, all the while insisting they contain the nutrients of a 'full meal'. Considering Jerma's size (approx. one and a half gnomes in height), one may estimate that he is indeed fully satiated. It is unknown if he also wears a bib. On April 8th, 2020 in the Viewtiful Joe stream, Jerma confirmed that due to his miniature demeanor, he has been residing inside of a suitcase. It is believed that Jerma's specialized diet is specifically tailored to maintain his gnomish stature, allowing him to live nomadically in his suitcase.

While streaming Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, Jerma made the grave mistake of showing his Funko Pop collection behind him on stream, immediately causing chat to decry him as a cringe normie Redditor, and causing the most anger in his fanbase since he murdered 30 innocent people 2 years prior. Jerma only dug himself deeper into the hole by admitting he did look on Reddit, but only sometimes. He was widely mocked for this, including on his subreddit.

Jerma had a somewhat short political career when he briefly ran for US president in 1988 as a third party candidate against democrat Gandalf the Grey and republican Homer Simpson. While Jerma had shown signs of genuine political prowess at the beginning of his campaign, he would eventually spiral downward. He would often imply that his opponents were uninformed and waste time during debates and never stated his own opinion. He was even known for smoking cigarettes during debates and even showed up to one seemingly oblivious to the fact that he wasn't wearing any pants. His political career would finally come to an end when he showed up to his last debate, shockingly, in a nice suit and well groomed hair. He began with an engaging speech that was able to capture the audience briefly, which ended quickly as Jerma ripped his clothes off and began speaking incoherently. Authorities responded immediately and violently arrested Jerma as he tried to fight back against the police. Jerma made a failed attempt to bribe the police officers by telling them "if you let me just open the door and fall out on the highway, pretending that I escaped, I will deposit 100 grand into both of your bank accounts." Jerma lost the election to Gandalf with 0 delegates and hasn't stepped foot into politics since.

In May of 2020, Jerma put a multi-week hiatus on streaming due to some medical problems that were hindering his ability to entertain while streaming. This included chronic pain in his chest and lower back, which was caused by a hernia that had gone under the radar for several years. While seeing doctors, he also caught a potential problem located in his prostate as well. He sought out treatment and the medical hiatus lasted until July 30, and in the meantime Jerma would play reruns of old streams on his Twitch channel. He had promised to play TF2 (Team Fortress Too) and League of Legends upon his return. Additionally, if Jerma eats enough french fries on stream he has agreed to cap off the stream by taking off all of his clothes and continue on to play Doki Doki Literature Club! for at least an hour.

After missing an incredibly easy shot in Noita, Jerma was left with a debt of several billion dollars in Twitch Gift Subs to chat. He has subsequently bribed, cheated, swindled, and made deals with chat to pay back this enormous debt in its entirety through various embarrassing ventures.

On New Year's Eve 2020, Jerma took a horrible bet. During the belated rumble stream, he made a bet after the main event wherein he would fight against a Catboy version of himself, with the condition that if he won, 1 billion would be taken off the debt, but if he lost, he would have to dress as a catboy for a day. He won the first round but went for double or nothing to get more off the debt and lost.

Jerma angry that the pawn store won't buy his rocks

On March 6th 2021, Jerma starred in an "Archaeology Stream" where he hired an entire crew and geologist with the lie that this was "educational" and "for science". In truth, however, this was little more than a charade for Jerma to find Grandpa's Cheasure Trest and valuable rocks which he could sell for hard cash. This was done possibly to pay off his debt or just because he is a greedy greedster. Unfortunately, Jerma did not find a single valuable thing in the chest as it was filled with little more than worthless 90's memorabilia. He did discover a pack of sealed "Grotto Beasts" cards which led him to buy the Grotto Beasts company outright, considering the fact it was only valued at $350,000. He then brought on a scientist from the Nevada Scientist Center who helped him identify and break open geodes, hoping to turn his fortunes and actually find something of worth. Again though, this was a disaster, and the most valuable thing he found was a mock-up Minecraft diamond. Still optimistic that he would make some money to fill his pockets, he went to a pawn shop where he showcased off some of the various items he found. Every single one was valued at zero dollars and Jerma was scammed out of $49,998 after buying two rocks. He left in disgrace, ready to drown himself in Burger King.

Over the span of three days (August 18, 20, and the 21st 2021) Jerma had participated in the "Dollhouse Stream", an event sponsored by Coinbase and supported by Twitch where Jerma would live in a toy house and Twitch Chat would be able to choose the actions he takes as well as the clothing he wears and the objects within the house. The objects would be placed around the house by mysterious figures clad in black or as Jerma described them "Sleep Paralysis Demons". Why anyone would allow the Jermamites the responsibility of taking care of their personal needs is beyond reason, but then again Jerma is a psycho.

Jerma prepared to end the stream

On the first day[5] of the Dollhouse Stream, Jerma entered the house and was unsurprisingly tormented by chat. They would force him to do push ups until he passed out, throw objects on him so that he would be hurt, and made him get naked and shower in front of strangers. The primary reason stated was because Jerma decided to take off his hat and sassy glasses very early on, but considering the fact that even when he put them back on Chat was still cruel it's very likely that this was just an excuse to torment him. Jerma became understandably miserable and a gaggle of clowns came to cheer him up. While he initially had fun with the clowns, they started to annoy him by drinking his beer and putting their hands in his peanut butter. A power outage caused this situation to turn into a horror movie as the clowns started to become physically aggressive by putting whipped cream on pizza, forcing Jerma to hide in the shower before running to fix the fuse box. After the clowns were kicked out, Jerma checked his mail to receive a letter with news that his Uncle Ted had passed and that he had received $750 (which he initially misread as $500). Jerma seemed to show more interest and excitement in the cash, even going so far as to be annoyed on a phone call with his mother when she revealed that she had gotten more money than him. Chat then decided to block the front door with a poorly put together bed by the Sleep Paralysis Demons, forcing Jerma to hurt himself by climbing out the window before urinating on the fence and then sleeping outside. A house upgrade was purchased, causing the first day and "tutorial" to be over.

A 35 year old man is thrown out a window

On the second day[6] of the Dollhouse Stream, Jerma arrived wearing his signature white wife beater and a pair of Miserable Mikey gloves to show off a new bedroom addition to the house. Chat purchased "Uncle Ted's Set" for the house which included Uncle Ted's couch, table, and spoon collection. Uncle Ted then came over to the house, causing Jerma to be terrified as just a few days ago he was told that he was dead. Jerma called the Grim Reaper to promptly escort Ted from the house but the next day, Jerma would get a call informing him that Uncle Ted had died yesterday and that he would receive $2000, suggesting that Jerma had killed Uncle Ted by sicking Death on him. Jerma was visited by a kind, robotic sounding, older woman by the name of Edna who helped Jerma bake Pecan Sandies. Jerma was forced by chat to be flirtacious and dance with Edna despite his clear and overt resistance. While Edna was over, Jerma hired a Workout Instructor to do aerobics and afterwards was ripped off for $100. As the house was a mess, Jerma called a cleaning service and was greeted by the "Sexy Maid" Emilia who was not at all prepared to actually clean. In the night, a bear came to the front of the house and knocked over the trash can causing Jerma to be startled awake. Jerma went out to confront the bear and was horrifically mauled. After the mauling Jerma streamed on Twitch and passed out live, causing him to get a 1 day suspension because he did a sleep stream. Ludwig came over telling Jerma that he lives close by at "983 983 Dollhouse Drive" before playing a quick game of Battleship where Ludwig cheated his way to victory. During the game Jerma was called by a Car Warranty Scammer who had harassed him as well as Edna earlier, with Jerma desperately begging him to put him on the do not call list while knowing that they would probably call again because he answered the phone. Chat later gave Jerma a stolen TV, which came in a completely broken state and was promptly confiscated by Sheriff Tony Andrews and a serial jaywalker. Jerma was able to get off without paying a fine because of his flirty comments to the policeman. Jerma that night had a nightmare with God in a clown car, a cowboy with a sword, the sleep paralysis demons, and an assortment of other neighbors who belittled him for shitting his pants in class when he was younger. When he woke up, Emilia came over to clean again and Jerma asked her out on a date for the next day to her excitement. Jerma was then suspended AGAIN for sleeping on stream before being confronted by a group of church goers at his front yard whom Jerma had to convince to leave by dancing for them. Despite Jerma having a date set with Emilia that night, he stood her up to sleep on the couch, telling himself that they would understand. Rising early the next morning, Jerma decided to cook butter and eggs (his favorite) on the stove. Unfortunately a grease fire started, and Jerma desperately tried to put out the blaze. Failing miserably, the fire spread aided by the Sleep Paralysis demons and Jerma attempted vainly to defeat the fire with a super soaker. Eventually Jerma fought one of the Sleep Paralysis demons in hand to hand combat and was brutally thrown out the bedroom window, thus ending the second day.

Jerma was once a very influential and famous person, having his own wrestling company, police force, currency, and more. However, after the murder of Santa Claus and the genocide of hundreds of innocent memes, he has become an infamous and feared criminal.

During a lie detector test, the current Jerma985 revealed himself to be another from "at least 3" Jermas, and not the original Jerma. The current status and whereabouts of the real, original Jerma985 are unknown, but rumor has it he joined a circus in France and has since had a very successful career. Jerma's net worth is now over $102,650,332,250 and continues to grow.

Ster shooting at Jerma and subsequently dragging his lifeless body out

On February 1st, 2022, Jerma hosted the game show "Who Will Replace ME?" to choose one of 16 candidates to replace him as "Jerma985". This concluded with the hosts (Ster, Ludwig, and Dr. Shmoixen) confusing the original Jerma with the winner, and Ster shooting the original Jerma dead in front of 40,000 live viewers. Jerma reappeared 3 days later, speaking to chat from a realm between life and death and promising his return.

In March 2022, Jerma attended the first Streamer Awards. While presenting the "Best Stream Game" award, a creeper approached Jerma from behind, which he noticed and managed to avoid. He later won "Best Streamed Event" and "League of Their Own", being the only nominee to win two awards. Unfortunately for Jerma, he was also one of the only winners to break a trophy, after accidentally snapping his "Best Streamed Event" golden Pepe off it's stand only moments after receiving it.

Jerma on stage

At the 2023 Streamer Awards, Jerma won the "Legacy Award" for his dedication and influence across almost 12 years of content creation. Despite the show upgrading to higher quality awards, Jerma still managed to break his in the exact same way as before.[7][8]
