☞ About me:
Name Jeff (haha like the meme), used to create an ARG webseries called 10 tapes. Now I talk on youtube, stream on twitch (off and on) and attempt to hunt down the man that killed my family. I’m also a certified gamer, my uncle invented nintendo. - Розваги
Having a bolt hit his foot next to a giant lightning rod only for a second one to fuckin bounce around a tree through his window is some looney tunes shit
That's really sad to me that he killed himself like 6 or 7 years after the last lightning strike, to think he was struggling with worse things in life than being struck by lightning 7 times, idk just feels bad man
Don't quote me on this because i just heard it in the passing of some other video but: i heard the lightning was part of the reason for his depression since people both started avoiding him and he also started isolating himself. Admittedly if i were in so many near death situations i too would be a little depressed about it but hey, cant confirm i think.
@@luluconacolo2729Considering he was already so paranoid after the fourth strike I wouldn't be surprised. You'd probably believe you were just not meant to live after so many incidents.
"Roy was just being paranoid" they say about a man who would go on to be _struck by lightning, three more times_
The bear looked at Roy and said "I don't know what boss music is, but I am *certain* that I am hearing it."
Being struck by lightning runs in my family. No joke. Only in my case everyone died. Like a normal non-Roy person.
... are you still alive
@@gguioa Just about. Not only were two struck by lightning, another was killed recently by the topic of a different @jeffiot video. (That I won't mention out here of respect for how recent it was). There might be a Jeff Iot curse....
Make sure you keep both feet on the ground. Usually you need an exit for electricity to increase survival chances. o7
You maybe avoided finishing the "Take me home, country roads" skit but right after it you listed every place mentioned in the lyrics of the song. Bravo.
choosing to abandon the take me home country roads joke and, not one minute later, talking about blue ridge mountains and shenandoah
after the second one I'd just nope and never go outdoors, to think after 6 he was willing to be under the sky is insanity
It is a crime how little recognition you get for these high quality videos
comments like these makes it worth it, though.
Simply a matter of time, for a new channel like this he is booming
@jeffiot I'm on a binge and turned all my friends onto your shit. never stop you're almost there I love you
Seriously. You just showed up for me and the humor is A+
Okay I don't know why anyone didn't say it "Lightning Rod Roy "
Roy's Lichtenberg scars must have looked absolutely badass.
What a legend.
It’s not even how many times he was struck, it is HOW he was struck
My grandma got shot by lightning (and survived). It was a very traumatic experience to her, and I remember my dad and his siblings being worried about her whenever there was a thunderstorm, because they knew that the sounds would trigger her. I can't imagine what it must've been like for this guy, not having to go throught that once, but SEVEN times!
Bro was literally being chased by clouds lol
the moment the bear is mentioned I started wheezing. What even are the odds of encountering a bear?? (really don't know I don't live in the states) And only a man who's been struck by lightning 7 times could be mad enough to fight a bear. Over fishes.
Bear odds would be pretty high given his job and where he lived, if anything it'd be weird if he didn't run into at least 20 bears or so over the course of his job. The timing though is utterly cracked
West Virginia has about 13,000 - 15,000 black bears current day. While running into them certainly isn't a daily occurrence, it absolutely does happen. Being in the forest near a stream would certainly increase those odds. I've been within 100 yards of a wild black bear on two separate occasions in my life -- once near a stream and once on my grandparents property.
6:02 I said Faraday Cage out loud! May I receive the title of "Faraday fucking master"?
I also did as well.
"there is a 1 in 15000 chance you will be struck by lightning" fact is actually just statistical error. *_lightnings georg-_*
I though he was going to tell me he was almost done editing this video, he needed a high definition photograph of roy sullivan and when he clicked on it, right there, sitting at his editing desk, he was struck by lightning. Zeus strikes again!
I love that it was creepy horror stuff that brought me to this channel, but I am well and truly staying for the humor :D this was seriously on point, great video!
this feels like two gods made a friendly wager to pick a random mortal and then one would have to try to kill him and the other one try to save him
Roy was a real life SCP
It's weird because I do know someone who was struck by lightning twice. Both times were as a camp counselor at a summer camp I went to, and both happened exactly one year apart. He showed all of us the scars he had from the first one and a picture of how it burned a hole in his water bottle. That night, there was a storm and sure enough we heard from the other camp counselors the next day that he was struck by lightning AGAIN and was in the hospital. He was out and back at camp a few days later with a new scar and a new nickname of "sparky".
35 yers of being absolutely bullied by Zeus.
Must have been transporting metal items to meet quota.
Honestly it’s things like this that make me think the fairies or the god of insanity is real
There's another guy named Walter Summerford who was struck by lightning 4 times, then buried alive! I wonder if he was related to Roy...
Keep up the amazing work, Jeff. It's an absolute crime your channel isn't more popular
man I can't even begin to describe how much I love this channel. your storytelling style is so illustrative and entertaining. I can't imagine something more comforting than relaxing to a nice jeff video.
When the son was mentioned I audibly gasped "no". I can't believe they didn't study his entire bloodline after that, I mean what the actual fu
I love that this was at the top of my home page. The algorithm is picking up on you, and the way you do things.
I would have called him "Royal flash" 🌩
he's just got extra iron in his diet, that's all
6:08 every kid: IM IN 4TH GRADE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Best nickname that no one has said ...
"Lightning Rod Roy " or L.R.R.
As I've heard it told, his gravestone was also struck by lightning.
As a member of your patreon, and a member of west vergina, I just wanna say...thank you
Honestly Jeff, you're the MOST underated creaton on this platform. You should have at least 10million subs. The injustice of popularity is insane
My neighbor was nearly struck by lightening twice, once back in the 1930s or early 40s (I forget exactly what age he said he was) and then again in the 2010s. First time it happened next to him in a field, second time it struck the room he was in. But to be as cursed as Roy, goddamn.
Stuff like this just screams 'we live in a simulation' and poor old Roy had the cruelest Sims player of all time.
I love how you call him Rod without hesitation twice in the middle of the video
Feels bad Lightning Roy 😔
It's so funny that you mention the video game flame searcher because at least in the US it's literally called fire watch, so your reference to a fire watch tower is even funnier
it's called firewatch in every country that's the joke
There's also an interactive dialogue sequence during the first time Henry walks through Thunder Canyon back to his firewatch tower.
If you choose the correct path through the dialogue tree with Delilah, she will tell the Roy Sullyvan story, even with the sad and ironic twist about how Roy took his own life.
Fyi, the band I Hate Myself did a 3 song EP (just titled 3 Songs) dedicated to Roy Sullivan. Each song is about him and lightning. It's not for everyone, but I highly recommend checking it out.
I checked this out during the research of the video actually, was going to include a mention of it but ended up cutting it out!
Your production value is so high and I love your videos. So excited that your last one got so much recognition.
I laughed for good this time.. thank you jeff,im binge watching all your videos and I LOVE THEM
Lightning strike injuries often include Lichtenberg figures, which look like ferns and ar caused by exploding capillaries. Amd compared to other burns, lightning strike burns are notable. The lungs can also be damaged due to rapidly expanding air from the heat.
All this to say, he'd be hard pressed to fake lightning strikes. Given how much bears bothered him, I gotta wonder wtf he did to piss off two Greek deities, tho, because damn.
After the second time it’s just showing off
In 1979 or so my two cousins, my brother, and I were making a tape and improvising an episode of “Dallas.” My cousin Melissa, as Bobby, said “Well, lightning never strikes twice in the same place,” and I, a nine year old girl, as JR, shot back “Did to some ranger in the forest,” which cracked her up. And now I know the rest of the story that I think we saw in Ripley’s Believe It or Not.
This guy was definitely either a monster that some deity was trying to rid the earth of, or he pissed a demon right off
It is West Virginia, blue ridge mountains are mentioned in the song too, and Shenandoah river
but Roy Sullivan is from Virginia. We don't have a Greene County in West Virginia
I love that you said you don't even know if the song is about West Virginia (it is) and then proceeded to mention places straight out of the first 3 lines of song's lyrics (blue ridge mountain, Shenandoah river) XD
I cant believe it took me this long to find all your amazing vids!
I think you're about to pop off my man. These videos are amazing.
The Human Lightning Roy of course
You got in the recommendeds so good job good luck
You are truly one of the best👌
That bear at the end had my laughing so f*ing hard!
i saw your vid about final destination, and since then i’ve been on a BINGE, your content is so freaking good, im too broke for patreon so i hope this comment can help you in any way
Thank you for the most honest Patreon plea ever. It worked on me!
I love how you used your own self for the bear fight. Hilarious!
8:12 my experience of watching Home Alone on TV almost every damn Xmas was creating a different outcome inside my head 😂
6:23 Dude, don't be my burnt out giftend kid self doubt, I have adhd, I already have enough of it
Dude.. every video you put out makes me feel like I’ve been in a really weird room, all by myself doin all my weird shit and suddenly I look up and you’re over there in the corner doin similar weird shit and when we make eye contact, you’re just like “nice!” Is that too much? Should I not have said that?
Dog angered zues 💀
It's sad how these traumatics experiences and together with the fact that people started avoiding him with fears of being hit by a lightning made (probably) him kill himself )':
this is insane
and like is paranoia is valid for this man he was smart to be prepared
Your my favorite UA-camr and person I look up to love your videos and loved "The Mustache" video so much I got the book keep on going would love to meet you one day
"your" 🤣
spectacular
Man's a dang legend.
I hope your channel strikes it big, like a "Human Lightning Roy."
The "and he got struck by lightning" has got the same comedic energy as Tom Scott's "and the goat burned down" in his video on the Gävlebocken
honestly if any bolt of lightning were to strike me by bouncing off of something, I'd also think something was out to get me.
How do you describe what a visible flash of electricity is doing? It would sound weird to say lightning shot out of is head and joined with the clouds, but I think more accurate. Universe is weird. You are brilliant and very funny!
I'm definitely on the a bit skeptical group, but damn if even half of those strikes are true this man must have been cursed by a warlock and hunted down by Zeus himself.
I feel like I heard somewhere that his grave was struck by lightning but I don’t have a source to back this up and don’t wanna go find one right now
Well actually, Roy Sullivan isn't alive anymore, so there's actually NOT one Roy Sullivan.
how on earth am i this early? anyway always excited to see more from you!
edited to add: of all the things i could have guessed, it never would have been "a fucking bear". holy shit.
I'm certain there are dozens of people named roy Sullivan
Jokes on you, funny video man, I DID say Faraday Cage! Because I had a boy crush on Tesla when I was a teen, and learned a handful of lightning related trivia!
11:12
yknow if i was him i wouldve stayed inside tbh tbh
The guy's nickname should have been "Copper Roy"
West Wirginiaaaaaaaa!
i just noticed you started using cathys gifs
I don't know the temperature of this take but hear me:
What if Roy used the space he supervised as a ranger to build a super powerful machine and working on it got him electrocuted? 🤷♂️
Edit: I'm binging your videos atm, hi from Germany
should have called him roy-sistor
is that a chi chi hentai tshirt? bruh. that dripps.
first of all it's bulma second of all it's art, dad, it's normal art!!
do you have weird fangirls yet? can i be your first?
I'll allow it
@16:00 what was his hair product?
wow ngl kinda scary the intro but hey I'm NOT AFRAID ANYMORE JEFF
An odd note, most of the locations referenced in the song West Virginia are located in part or in whole in Virginia (East Virginia for you freaky people).
❤
I DID SAY IT I SAID IT I SAID IT EXACTLY IN SYNC AAAAAAAAAA
@6:18 I just didnt know the name
I had a full and reciprocal argument with a video about whether I did or didn't say 'Faraday Cage'
(For the record, I DID, I just had a mouthful of toast so it was a little bit muffled, OKAY?)
So, where does Roy fit on the Final Destination's death list?
Roy Sullivan is surely still alive if the "revived by lightning" thing from Frankenstein works in real life 🤭
WHA-?!....."A PORK RANGER" (?!?)...~Never hearda onna those before, we'llll, Ill be damn'd! (WITTY Al-Go-Rhydim-Apex-Assistmente' Commenente')
-This here Finnish dood iz funee!...;)
We're just going to drop the number of times he's hit a bear with a stick and not come back to it?
What do you even do if Zeus himself has it our for you
what. the _fuck_. lmao
Roy should have gone to drive trains.
I Said it!
Jeez, dude. What is with that Bulma shirt? lol
