I thought they had just an old computer somewhere that automatically played the most viewed stream and send a screenshot with name of the channel to the website every 5 minutes or something. And that the edits were a dev just editing the screenshot after it was automatically taken. Obviously I was wrong, but I feel like it's not THAT advanced to make it work
The best part about this is that there's a moment where he thinks it was some kind of automated screengrab, and you just know he's wondering, "Wait where the hell are they grabbing my info from?!" like he's about to get exposed on stream.
Dude this entire time I thought it actually WAS automated and one dev was a fan and decided to mess with him in particular. This makes it SO much better
Picture this: They scan the QR code See one of the Jerma images, They refresh and suddenly there’s a tarantula on it Then they search up “Jerma985” for the first time in their life and see Jeremy Jerma’s facecam taking up the screen, mouth agape, sounding like he’s choking to paranormal means for a full minute
I legitimately thought they were going to multiple streamers with this joke when I saw the Jackscepticeye image. Only now am I realizing, thanks to this video, that they EXCLUSIVELY messed with Jerma.
I’m like 90% sure they literally just slapped jack’s face cam image over Jerma’s original screenshot that they lead in with, hence why the game perspective was a 1to1 duplicate between the two images
I could have never guessed that this bit would end with both parties being SHOCKED at Jacksepticeyes real name and Jerma setting the game to screen-reader friendly german
its literally the perfect stream moment lmfao, jerma is such an inspiration, i love how he immediately pivots when he realizes he can manipulate it to do dumb shit.
Kinda funny that the main dev on Stanly Parable is DougDoug's brother who is friends with / has been in a lot of videos with Jerma, like the Stanly guy could have a 1 to 1 convo with JErma if he wanted
@@eddyspaghetti6211 yes, Davey Wreden, older brother to Douglas "DougDoug" Wreden, is one of the original creators of the Stanley Parable (eg the original Half Life 2 Mod and later the standalone game), and the lead writer for the Stanely Parable: Ultra Deluxe. Davey Wreden and William Pugh are the original creators of the Stanely Parable.
oh my god amazing, so interesting to see what they were saying!! huge +2 in general but also for the tarantula callback, i didn't know they were watching the stream from the very beginning that's so funny
If anyone hasn't seen Jerma's ULTRAKILL stream, I highly recommend it. Jerma did the Groggy Gary bit. Jerma thinking the website worked by grabbing a random screenshot like how Twitch's thumbnail system worked. Idk why, but he couldn't wrap his mind around the devs changing the website on the fly lol
I know Jerma is huge and he knows it... but it still feels a bit pompous to think multiple devs from a critically acclaimed indie super-hit would be messing with you in real-time. God bless this moment.
A part of me can't tell if Jerma was genuinely confused, or if he did know he was being messed with and decided to play along for the jokes and to promote the devs and the game. Either way, this is hilarious.
this is two years late but i vividly remember watching this stream whilst it was live and it was absolutely incredible watching this segment unwind in real time. you guys really combatted jerma's jerma-isms with your own jerma-level bit and it made for such a hilarious moment
man, i remember this happening live and laughing so hard at the tarantula that it pulled a stitch in my side. hearing the dev's side just makes it better.
Was expecting a “user offline” image with “JackSepticEye is NOT visiting a Stanley Parable 2 Expo. At least he isn’t asking to put spiders in his mouth either”
When I saw this live, I genuinely thought the website was polling the twitch API, scanning for the streamer with the highest viewers and displaying their current twitch thumbnail.
How did i just see this? This was so cute, especially after you guys started communicating with him via the site like it was a live email chain lol. This was so fun to watch and I'm happy the game was a success!
I don’t really know what marble hornets is, so that’s unintentional. I just thought it would be cool to reference the Stanley parable intro and this was the quickest and easiest way to do that.
@@red-raxmarble hornets is a creepypasta inspired(??) analogue horror (?????) ive never seen it aside from small clips but it the beginning is pretty similar
@@cowabangermarble hornets came before creepypasta, it was inspired by the original slenderman photos from the contest hosted on the something awful website. However i can understand the confusion as masky and hoody where promptly adopted into creepypasta lore/fandom. And its not really an analog horror series, its more of a mix of found footage horror with, like horror vlogging elements. Technically it was also an arg as there was the other channel "to the ark" which had to be found thru clues in the marble hornets videos. There was also a twter page ran by jay, who would give in universe updates. The beginning is very similar to the start of marble hornets (black background, white text explaining things) (Also sorry lmao im. Like. Really autistic and internet horror has been a special interest of mine for years)
@@benjaminsmit781 thank you!! i wasnt quite sure how to word it and i also didnt know much abt it!! ive tried to watch it before but i always get confused and fall off. i totally understand though, i also infodump when i get the chance LOL
I love how he still holds the face like it takes a screenshot at a random interval, even though he already knows theyre doing it manually Edit: omg thanks for the 985 likes everybody and the epic Reddit gold
I love this so much because this is exactly the kind of Meta joke that Jerma would pull. Every time he wrestled with himself, pretended to be his own ghost, and trolled new viewers was embodied in this moment.
SP's interaction with Jerma was the best SP moment, it's magical that these opportunities occurred let alone were taken such as the sleeping spider bit or the whole interaction at all. it were as if God himself wrote that this very thing would happen, a mission given by he he writes our destiny, a meaning fulfilled!
Oh my god I didn’t realise switching to jack was still a part of the JERMA bit, that’s so fucking funny, is there a link to the full captured dev reaction?
I really thought when he went back and Sean was on the screen that it was a thing they were mostly automating with other streamers, it’s so much better knowing it was made specifically to fuck with Jerma😭
This isn't out of the ordinary for them including content creators in their silly promotional stuff, I still remember the old trailer for the game they did with Chilled Chaos trying to maintain his let's player mentality while the game kept messing with him in very specific ways
lol im back here again after 2 years through a random youtube recommendation. Jerma nostalgia is in full force as of late because of his retirement so that may also be a contributor.
"How did they know I was Jerma?"
dude really thinks they made a website that advanced.
no, they're just fucking with you
I thought they had just an old computer somewhere that automatically played the most viewed stream and send a screenshot with name of the channel to the website every 5 minutes or something. And that the edits were a dev just editing the screenshot after it was automatically taken.
Obviously I was wrong, but I feel like it's not THAT advanced to make it work
@@Reac2 I'm sure it could
@@Reac2 It's feasible, yes, but far less likely than just a developer being bored.
@@Reac2 It's possible but it's far more costly and that's just for a single prank. If anything it could update per day, but then the funny is gone.
@@Reac2it would be incredibly advanced to make
The entire skit felt like Jerma being kidnapped, then immediately turned it around on his captors by demanding them to do something for a bit
i feel like Jerma would do this if he did get kidnapped
perfect description
It's a real life Stanley Parable
holy shit like max headroom
Its the opposite of stockholm syndrome, jerma effect
I love the fact Jerma is confused about "how do they know I'm playing" when he had like 21k viewers.
He forgot he was a massive streamer for a second
i think he thought that the website did that to everyone and was wondering how
@@HypnoStellar You can always count on Jerma to come to the wrong conclusion every time.
@@HypnoStellarexactly why I love him, he seems like a deeply empathic person.
Jerma acts like when a huge dog thinks it's still tiny
The "okay keep playing" bit was perfectly executed.
The best part about this is that there's a moment where he thinks it was some kind of automated screengrab, and you just know he's wondering, "Wait where the hell are they grabbing my info from?!" like he's about to get exposed on stream.
Dude this entire time I thought it actually WAS automated and one dev was a fan and decided to mess with him in particular. This makes it SO much better
Thanks for capturing the other side of this incredible moment, it makes it 100x better hearing the devs chat away when Jerma is choking himself, lol
Ok I literally fell out of my chair laughing when the tarantula appeared on stream. Kudos to you guys.
Honestly it’s even funnier that it’s just a png of a tarantula slapped on the image in 10 seconds
and the image from the stream is stretched to hell
i'm imagining someone just playing the game unrelated and scanning the qr code and being deeply confused
"i was the jerma all along"
Picture this:
They scan the QR code
See one of the Jerma images,
They refresh and suddenly there’s a tarantula on it
Then they search up “Jerma985” for the first time in their life and see Jeremy Jerma’s facecam taking up the screen, mouth agape, sounding like he’s choking to paranormal means for a full minute
oh god i didn't even think about that, that'd be SPECTACULAR
That was actually me, not even joking
That’s how i found out jerma was streaming the game, legitimately one of the funniest moments of my life
@@basedmod2139it wasn’t a specific build! That qr code always goes to the same website, they simply edited the website
bro jerma got gangstalked in real time LMFAO
stan stalked
Literally backseated by the devs
Dev in jerma's walls
This should be nominated for best one guy moment despite being developer’s
REAL
best dev in chat moment
Jerma is perfect guy for a joke like this. He will always take a bit and run with it to the moon.
I legitimately thought they were going to multiple streamers with this joke when I saw the Jackscepticeye image. Only now am I realizing, thanks to this video, that they EXCLUSIVELY messed with Jerma.
They did it with some other streamers, but not to the extend they did in this one.
The funniest part is that the text underneath the jackscepticeye image said "He is NOT reading this right now.", implying he wasn't playing the game.
I’m like 90% sure they literally just slapped jack’s face cam image over Jerma’s original screenshot that they lead in with, hence why the game perspective was a 1to1 duplicate between the two images
the way he says "wake up" to himself as if this was a dream lmfao im crying, yall did the best bit there
Reminds me of the chuck e cheese bit. XD
Ah yes. The average size enemy spider.
The tarantula idea was genius! You guys absolutely made my night :D
just imagining someone going to the html and changing the image makes it 2 times funnier
Easily the best part of this is that even as a Vod Watcher, I thought this was some sort of advanced algorithm after the switch to jacksepticeye.
Love how almost everyone is surprised that jacksepticeye's name is Sean
They also mispronounce it all the time.
@@garr_inc "Seen"
See-an (also wtf this got mass recommended again huh)
I'm more surprised he speaks Korean
@@lucasnadamas9317It’s pronounced Shawn.. and jacksepticeye’s name is spelled Seán.
I could have never guessed that this bit would end with both parties being SHOCKED at Jacksepticeyes real name and Jerma setting the game to screen-reader friendly german
the spider was actually there the whole time it was just edited out of the whole stream
That's some Bloodborne shit!
that's the real jerna
This was such a magical moment that will go down in gaming history
I love that he thinks he needs to hold the pose for several minutes as if they aren’t just taking a quick screenshot to upload it 😂😂
that is the funniest part
He thought it was an automated random screengrab
They're painting him
to be fair i entirely assumed it was using like. the thumbnail of the twitch stream, which gets auto updated like that
its literally the perfect stream moment lmfao, jerma is such an inspiration, i love how he immediately pivots when he realizes he can manipulate it to do dumb shit.
Kinda funny that the main dev on Stanly Parable is DougDoug's brother who is friends with / has been in a lot of videos with Jerma, like the Stanly guy could have a 1 to 1 convo with JErma if he wanted

This was legendary to witness.

At the time after seeing Jacksepticeye I legit thought this was a semi automated thing they did when a big streamer was playing
Same
Nice pfp
this is almost exactly what i’d expect from the devs given the game they’ve made. great stuff
Jerma strangling himself waiting for the update was kinda insane
i was watching a snuff film 😳
Best one guy moment of the year
If anyone hasn't seen Jerma's ULTRAKILL stream, I highly recommend it. Jerma did the Groggy Gary bit. Jerma thinking the website worked by grabbing a random screenshot like how Twitch's thumbnail system worked.

The groggy gary fiasco will never see an equal

@@manashieldworld
consider: the critically acclaimed superhit in question is the stanley fucking parable
A part of me can't tell if Jerma was genuinely confused, or if he did know he was being messed with and decided to play along for the jokes and to promote the devs and the game. Either way, this is hilarious.
The ultimate punchline of a Jerma Joke is you never know how much control of the situation he has
@galaxycamerata that's pretty ominous thing isn't it

Truly one of the greatest "dev in chat" moments in history
the sheer joy in their voices as he slowly notices the chat spam is incredible
man, i remember this happening live and laughing so hard at the tarantula that it pulled a stitch in my side. hearing the dev's side just makes it better.
I missed this funny insanity, thanks for reuploading and documenting this!

@@kiiturii i meant yeah, up until that part lol
I love how jerma is so confused and the devs are pissing themselves laughing

Amazing to see the other perspective. I loved how much fun you all were having. It must have been incredible to make contact with an alien lifeform.
Why does it not surprise me that the Stanley parable team would be fans of Jerma
6:33 he's playing a dangerous game with that pose

FInding this gem 2 years late, but damn this was a good laugh! :'D
Best one guy moment 2022
A little surprised that when they switched to JackSepticEye they didn't make a joke about the reason being that Jerma choked to death on stream.
Least intrusive dev intervention:
LOL I didn't know that there was a Discord call when this happened! It makes the situation 10x funnier TBH
This isn't out of the ordinary for them including content creators in their silly promotional stuff, I still remember the old trailer for the game they did with Chilled Chaos trying to maintain his let's player mentality while the game kept messing with him in very specific ways
I noticed this has been getting a lot of traction lately. How did you all find this?
The magic of YT recommendations!
lol im back here again after 2 years through a random youtube recommendation. Jerma nostalgia is in full force as of late because of his retirement so that may also be a contributor.
I found it from a short! Probably from a while ago, someone cited this video as a BTS. I aspire to be a dev like this someday :o
It was in my recommeded
I just got recommended it, also that was hilarious as hell.
We need more Devs like you guys!
I never knew that the devs were messing with him. This is so hilarious. If I were the devs this would go above any other recognition. Bravo.
this has got to be one of the best videos on the internet
Getting back seated by the devs themselves like, dang
lol, this was such a great series of events
I'm so glad theres a behind the scenes for this it's incredible
i love this stanley parable team you are so awesome
Beginning text with the cropped black backgro felt like the start to a late 90s/early 2000s documentary on a box tv

This is the only motivation rn to stay a CS major
so sad i missed this around the time it came out, what a great video, thank you!
It would’ve been gold if they put the tarantula on Jacksepticeye when switching to him 😂
10:23 I think this is one of his weirdest moments to randomly tune in to.
Its fun to see the other side of the story
did not know at all about this ever occurring, but this is great
this is the best ever
I wish all devs were this cool, as a workshop creator for cs2 k strive to be this!
everyone is surprised his name is Sean 💀
It's funny because the way I found out his name was Sean was from Markiplier
