If anyone is still curious. That sleepwalking cop was actually a french detective named Robert Ledru back in the 19th century. He shot and killed a man on the beach, which he was quite surprised to figure out later during his investigation of the case. He said that he had no recollection of killing the man, but he recognized the footprints leading from the body as his own and his gun was missing a bullet. He had also woken up that morning with wet sandy socks. Crazy stuff
@@orchdork775 Supposedly he was kept under guard in a cabin for the rest of his life because he was concerned that he was a threat to the public. I can't find any primary sources for the story but it is all over the internet. The oldest reference I can find is a 1963 "novelized biography" of Ledru.
also how did they rule out that possibility that’s he’s lying? like what if he killed someone and was like “no no no i was sleepwalking”, super interesting

I think it says something about the average age of Jarvis' viewers that so many people thought the gorilla was CGI. For some perspective, this was a low-budget TV show made in 1998; meanwhile, Monsters, Inc. was a big-budget CG movie from a studio that was experts in their field, and Pixar made a huge deal about how revolutionary and difficult the fur effects on Sully were -- and that movie came out in *2001.* There's no way that gorilla was CG, guys.
that whole thing made me feel so OLD and im not even that old. cgi doesn't even look that realistic nowadays, let alone when it was in its infancy. if that gorilla was actually cgi it would've looked more like optimus primal
It's kinda sad that everyone just jumps to "computers" whenever they wonder how a shot was made. I guess only kids are gonna be watching a guy watch an old TV show on the internet, but come ON people there's no way that's a CGI gorilla.
@@Nothingseen I think one of the things that makes me extra sad is that this guy in particular had all the practical effect work he & his company did completely done over in cgi for the thing 2011 ): im not a fan of the prevalence of cgi in movies though I really shouldn't be shaking my cane at Kids These Days. but still
I feel like i technically fall into that younger demographic but even i know cgi wasnt that great back then (well editing and sfx as a whole back then was extremely hit or miss when it came to 3d animation and editing 3d into live action spaces, and 3d animation in the early 2010s wasnt the most realistic or well done either, so im not sure why anybody born during that time would believe that the 90s wouldve been better in that aspect) hence why even today most sfx is done using an animatronic with cgi over it/blended into it, we are still in an uncanny valley when it comes to cgi so the thought that a low budget tv show from the 90s somehow cracked the secret to cgi that even studios today havent is an odd idea
"My goal is to be buried in this suit. "Your wish is my command." Jarvis, I must stress that in the funniest way possible to me, this sounds like a threat /lh
When it comes to the wearing 3 shirts to run thing, in the 90s a popular theory was that you would lose more weight the more you sweat, so some people would bundle up or even wear latex to exercise in. Which btw is super unhealthy, and can lead to people just like, passing out in the middle of their run.
I remember in training for track wearing an extra layer or two to help warm the whole body up a little faster and I think it also adds weight and resistance to help work your muscles a little harder.
Im also surprised that Chat said it wasn't the "Murder House" from AHS when it definitely is... that house has been used in other films as well. All it took was just using IMDB and having the address lmfao
I actually know a little of the mythos of the "cursed chair" There is a pub somewhere where a man sentenced to hang said nobody had better sit in his favorite chair, or they'd be cursed. Several people met with gnarly accidents after sitting in said chair so now either the pub keeps it up on the wall, or they sold it to Zach Baggins for his museum and he did the same so no one else could be cursed.
There is a "cursed" chair in a museum and they nailed it to the wall so hight up, that nobody can sit in it, because people kept sitting in it as a joke or dare and they supposedly all died

Imagine my surprise when Tom Woodruff Jr becomes a big part of this video and I know who he is because he’s an alum from my college and we had an award named after him for our student film festival. Also I worked for the local newspaper after graduation and interviewed Tom once because his brother still lives in town and he was doing a viewing party of Frankenstein at a local nursing home and talking about the make-up/special effects. My brain is exploding.
I heard of the choir incident before, and the actual story is even crazier, since there were I believe 15 people instead of 5. 1950s in Nebraska if you wanna look it up for yourself

I was around 17 or 18 when this show came out. In the ghost story, that girl’s clothes would have stood out immediately to those guys as very retro and 60s/70s. I think it was meant to be a wink to the audience, but it was more like being hit with a sledgehammer. Also, I don’t remember any actual people dressing like those guys, but I occasionally remember guys on tv shows wearing a brightly colored tank top over a t-shirt. I always kind of wondered if it was a way to cover up a logo or graphic that they weren’t sure was okay to show on tv because of copyright. Attempting to make it look like a cool or hip fashion choice on shows when just a tank top wouldn’t be appropriate. I kind of wonder if that’s why vests were so popular on tv but less so in real life. Maybe they used them to cover up the logos on the breast of shirts. Also, I *do* remember having undershirts showing at the collar was a thing. I hated it, but it was almost unavoidable because crew neck undershirts came up higher than crew neck t-shirts. They did that on purpose exactly so they would show. I’m so glad that particular trend died.
I think they had this guy come in with street clothes and had nothing on hand that would be more appropriate for running that fit him so they put a massive tank top to look like "athletic wear". Henley dude got the shorts. Maybe they rushed the filming for that episode.

Really enjoyed the tangent with the gorilla man. Now I want you to track him down and interview him on the show about his career. Could be a great main channel video.
I love that Jarvis's brain works so reflectively of my own because I would be on my own gorilla derail if I didn't know he'd find the info for me. Never change. Edit: change if you want, just never feel the need to apologize for how your brain works.
This entire video I felt so happy because Jarvis’ thought pattern was literally the exact same as mine. Like right when I thought the cop story was just a guy sleepwalking, Jarvis mentioned it. Like it’s cool to hear different perspectives on things, but sometimes it just feels nice to know there’s at least a few people out there who think and act similarly to the way you do.
SPOILER: I just watched a crazy true story video about the cop thing last week. He actually figured out it was himself because they took molds of the foot prints and he was missing a pinky toe. I want to say it was the 20s or something. He actually got exiled from France I think because they couldn’t stop him from shooting his gun in his sleep.
Jarvis's insistence that the cop could be a werewolf absolutely killed me. What, he had to shapeshift into a wolf in order to shoot a woman in the chest at point blank range with a 9mm?
Someone PLEASE MAKE SURE Tom Woodrif jr SEES THIS! It will make his heart smile, if that's an actual thing that can happen to someone without them dying. Also, the animatronic monkey attacking the boss is, in theory, the scariest idea ever. Execution, yup, pretty fucking scary, actually. That idea deserves its own movie. It predates Five Nights at Freddy's by years.
I love that Fact or Fiction consistently has the most creepily written dudes known to man. Like ya the girl in that one episode was acting weird, but the dude being like "I just HAVE to meet this woman" the whole time really gave me the ick
i love watching Jarvis do his ADHD things bc i’m like hell yeah he just like me fr, which makes me happy and feel less like i’m the only one with a different brain
thats how you can tell most of chat is definitely kids. Like there isnt any way around that fact at this point lmao too young to understand that we didnt have modern day looking cgi nearly 30 years ago
@@carlosrosado5861 also understanding how far technology has progressed isn’t as much related to age directly, more the experience that comes with it. And not all minors are ignorant to all technological advancements
tbh i love when it kind of goes off the rails and we end up becoming experts on random things like the special effects career of tom woodrif jr. it makes me feel like i didn't just spend an hour and a half watching a funny video (which is great) and also actually gained cultural knowledge (which is even better)
Of course the first one was fake, motion capture/facial capture like that didn’t exist yet. I know it was really our king, Tom Woodruff Jr in a suit, but in the fiction of the story it was supposed to be an entirely animatronic gorilla, controlled by a motion control rig including face performance capture, they would have had to pioneer so many technologies for that to be a thing in that year. Even an entire, free moving animatronic was a tall order if not impossible at the time. By the time performance capture was refined enough to use in Hollywood, it was more cost effective to use it for CGI, not practical animatronics. In fact, in modern movies like the Star Wars sequels with tons of practical creatures, they still mostly use suits, puppeteering and controllers.
It's quite possible... I know one furry who has told Henson and Disney both to take a flying leap after being approached to design creatures. It wouldn't surprise me if someone took offers.
Well… in reality he’s just the OG furry. Like everything he said about “wanting to be a gorilla since [he] was a kid” and such are the same as most furries. But there wasn’t a name or a culture for it back then so he just became known as the practical effects/gorilla guy.
The story about the church choir was actually featured on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries! I knew it sounded familiar. Iirc it actually involved like 15 people instead of 5.
@@JarvisJohnsonLIVE ah i guessed as much. I'm diagnosed as well. That why enjoy this channel. I can never sit still long enough to watch a live. (Btw im not bashing on you going looking at other things. I quite enjoy it.)
The story about all the people all being late to the church service is one of the ones that has been SEARED into my memory. I love it, and it was told so well! I was so young when I saw it and it inspired me to start writing. I know it’s such a silly little thing but I was so shocked; it felt miracles could be legit and I wanted to experience that
I feel insane for thinking this stuff was common knowledge but me and all my friends used to read fangoria and famous monsters of filmland. I feel like most horror nerds know this dude.
The craziest thing is that the actual story of the choir is even more interesting. I looked it up after this, and it's actually really incredible to read about. Even if you don't believe in a higher power, it was a miracle that they all (15 of them actually!) Ran late. The article I found listed statistics on how often each member was late or missed, and I can't remember the actual numbers, but the probability was incredibly low. There had also never been a day that all of them were late at the same time. There was also a part where the pastor got in early to turn on the heat, then left to pick up his wife or something, and the explosion happened just after, while no one was in the building
I think you can also tell the budget has been increased by the introductions when Jonothan Frakes does a head swivel because they shot them with two cameras instead of one. At least seems like it.
i know about the case that the hank reese story was based on, so the whole time i was just waiting for it to be fact. also, i think the reason they made him take off his shoes was cause the officer had a missing toe on one of his feet, and thats how they solved the case. but i guess they decided to take that aspect out
The real reason Jonathan Frakes didn't sit in the cursed chair is because there's no way he would be able to swing his leg all the way over the back of it like he normally does to sit down.
I definitely misread the title as “This CHAT is Evil Apparently” meaning like Twitch chat was ganging up on Jarvis or something 😂 But this episode/vod did not disappoint!!
wait a minute- i'm still in the middle of watching the choir one, but i once read a true story somewhere of all members of a choir being late for practice in one way or another and so all of them survived something bad (like the church burning maybe i don't remember). if it's that one i already know it's fact.
hell yee i was right about this being the story. also i remember now i think i've read the story in a black stories game based on real stories (to explain, black stories is a german riddle card game which usually involves death or crime or something like that)
CGI will NEVER be a good substitute for practical effects in my opinion. You can always tell the difference. CGI has its place, but if something is remotely possible to do practically, than it should be.
actually, wearing less clothes would burn more fat. if you're cold, your body has to use more energy to heat you up. it could help with endurance, though, sure.
ok i unironically love the theme music of this show. yes it's repetitive but the 5/4 time signature just works so well and it always gets stuck in my head after watching so many of these videos lmao

I love that the realtor says "not this house" exactly like how mister Frakes says "not this time"
Jarvis's insistence that the cop could be a werewolf absolutely killed me. What, he had to shapeshift into a wolf in order to shoot a woman in the chest at point blank range with a 9mm?
The footage of Tom Woodruff Jr scaring those people made me choke on my coffee
The church choir one has been one of my favorites. It was so wholesome. Just a nice story
Someone PLEASE MAKE SURE Tom Woodrif jr SEES THIS! It will make his heart smile, if that's an actual thing that can happen to someone without them dying.
Also, the animatronic monkey attacking the boss is, in theory, the scariest idea ever.
Execution, yup, pretty fucking scary, actually.
That idea deserves its own movie.
It predates Five Nights at Freddy's by years.
That shit deserved its own twilight zone episode
As a CG artist there is zero chance the gorilla is CG it is for sure somewhere between costume and puppet
I may have covid, but at least I get to stay home from school and watch Jarvis Johnson :)
Feel better❤️
aah I have covid too rn, and that's exactly what I'm doing!! Hope you feel better :>
I love that Fact or Fiction consistently has the most creepily written dudes known to man. Like ya the girl in that one episode was acting weird, but the dude being like "I just HAVE to meet this woman" the whole time really gave me the ick
i love watching Jarvis do his ADHD things bc i’m like hell yeah he just like me fr, which makes me happy and feel less like i’m the only one with a different brain
Anyone in chat who thought the gorilla is CGI are out of their minds. 1998 and they make something on par to war of planet of the apes? Yea right.
thats how you can tell most of chat is definitely kids. Like there isnt any way around that fact at this point lmao too young to understand that we didnt have modern day looking cgi nearly 30 years ago
@@carlosrosado5861 that's a good point, I guess since I'm in my late 20s I assumed most of Jarvis's audience is close as well
@@carlosrosado5861 kids or minors? I mean I know it’s just semantics but it’s you could be talking about 16 year olds or 6 year olds
@@carlosrosado5861 also understanding how far technology has progressed isn’t as much related to age directly, more the experience that comes with it. And not all minors are ignorant to all technological advancements

“I am FULL of joy.” said so calmly is how i express genuine emotion too i love this
I have 3 hrs between my classes so this is a delight I can watch without having to constantly find a bunch of like 15- 20 min videos instead
tbh i love when it kind of goes off the rails and we end up becoming experts on random things like the special effects career of tom woodrif jr. it makes me feel like i didn't just spend an hour and a half watching a funny video (which is great) and also actually gained cultural knowledge (which is even better)
Oh my God, Tom played the bull in Michael. That's hilarious. I'm so glad to be introduced to this unknown icon!
I was listening to this at work, and as soon as Jarvis said "he got us!" A clock in the office next to me fell down and scared the crap out of me
"im gonna try not to take too long on this episode" says the man who spent 15 minutes googling a gorilla actor
Of course the first one was fake, motion capture/facial capture like that didn’t exist yet. I know it was really our king, Tom Woodruff Jr in a suit, but in the fiction of the story it was supposed to be an entirely animatronic gorilla, controlled by a motion control rig including face performance capture, they would have had to pioneer so many technologies for that to be a thing in that year. Even an entire, free moving animatronic was a tall order if not impossible at the time. By the time performance capture was refined enough to use in Hollywood, it was more cost effective to use it for CGI, not practical animatronics.
In fact, in modern movies like the Star Wars sequels with tons of practical creatures, they still mostly use suits, puppeteering and controllers.
That definitely looked like puppetry to me.
"Who is this gorilla... man?!"
rewatching this video once again and the gorilla derail is still one of my favorite moments from any video ever
I really want Jarvis to watch that Neil Cicierega parody of Beyond Belief entitled Beyond Believability: Fact or FALSE because I think he'd enjoy it
But... Ass died five years ago
No one can convince me that Tom Woodruff Jr. isn’t just a furry that got like really into it and somehow found a way to make a job out of it
It's quite possible... I know one furry who has told Henson and Disney both to take a flying leap after being approached to design creatures. It wouldn't surprise me if someone took offers.
Well… in reality he’s just the OG furry. Like everything he said about “wanting to be a gorilla since [he] was a kid” and such are the same as most furries. But there wasn’t a name or a culture for it back then so he just became known as the practical effects/gorilla guy.
The story about the church choir was actually featured on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries! I knew it sounded familiar. Iirc it actually involved like 15 people instead of 5.
this channel is like... a cup of warm cocoa. u could react to a documentary about wwii and i would still be comforted by ur presence
Every animal in a Jarvis video is now without question, Tom in a suit.
Alt title: Jervis shows signs of ADHD again.
i am diagnosed, my friend
@@JarvisJohnsonLIVE ah i guessed as much. I'm diagnosed as well. That why enjoy this channel. I can never sit still long enough to watch a live. (Btw im not bashing on you going looking at other things. I quite enjoy it.)
The story about all the people all being late to the church service is one of the ones that has been SEARED into my memory. I love it, and it was told so well! I was so young when I saw it and it inspired me to start writing. I know it’s such a silly little thing but I was so shocked; it felt miracles could be legit and I wanted to experience that
I feel insane for thinking this stuff was common knowledge but me and all my friends used to read fangoria and famous monsters of filmland. I feel like most horror nerds know this dude.
Animatronics and human puppeting made everything appear so much immersive, in my opinion. Movies such as The Dark Crystal (1983), Congo (1995), etc..
The real gorilla was the friends we made in the way ✨
I love the live channel. We always have more Jarvis to watch !
The craziest thing is that the actual story of the choir is even more interesting. I looked it up after this, and it's actually really incredible to read about. Even if you don't believe in a higher power, it was a miracle that they all (15 of them actually!) Ran late. The article I found listed statistics on how often each member was late or missed, and I can't remember the actual numbers, but the probability was incredibly low. There had also never been a day that all of them were late at the same time. There was also a part where the pastor got in early to turn on the heat, then left to pick up his wife or something, and the explosion happened just after, while no one was in the building
I think you can also tell the budget has been increased by the introductions when Jonothan Frakes does a head swivel because they shot them with two cameras instead of one. At least seems like it.
Imagine insinuating that Jonathan Frakes is wrong about anything @3:50
i know about the case that the hank reese story was based on, so the whole time i was just waiting for it to be fact. also, i think the reason they made him take off his shoes was cause the officer had a missing toe on one of his feet, and thats how they solved the case. but i guess they decided to take that aspect out
Thanks so much for these VODs! Love them 💕
The real reason Jonathan Frakes didn't sit in the cursed chair is because there's no way he would be able to swing his leg all the way over the back of it like he normally does to sit down.
I definitely misread the title as “This CHAT is Evil Apparently” meaning like Twitch chat was ganging up on Jarvis or something 😂 But this episode/vod did not disappoint!!
highlight of my day when i get a jarvis live notification
Same, he's become my favorite creator lately! So funny but also so genuine!
@@ManicPixieFanGirl yeah he’s very relatable and comforting to me
i live for jarvis's random adhd derails bc i do the same damn stuff n its both so funny and validating tbh i love when these get kept in
The choir one sounds like a story my grandma would tell before saying "Ain't God Good"
wait a minute- i'm still in the middle of watching the choir one, but i once read a true story somewhere of all members of a choir being late for practice in one way or another and so all of them survived something bad (like the church burning maybe i don't remember). if it's that one i already know it's fact.
hell yee i was right about this being the story. also i remember now i think i've read the story in a black stories game based on real stories (to explain, black stories is a german riddle card game which usually involves death or crime or something like that)
CGI will NEVER be a good substitute for practical effects in my opinion. You can always tell the difference. CGI has its place, but if something is remotely possible to do practically, than it should be.
The extra clothes are for training. Makes the body hotter and burn more fat and trains endurance
actually, wearing less clothes would burn more fat. if you're cold, your body has to use more energy to heat you up. it could help with endurance, though, sure.
ok i unironically love the theme music of this show. yes it's repetitive but the 5/4 time signature just works so well and it always gets stuck in my head after watching so many of these videos lmao
I was thinking the same thing as Jarvis about the choir episode- it's the only one that's been so upbeat and fun! Lol 😂
Watching Jarvis watch Fact or Fiction is my medicine
12:08 i was looking away at this point and i literally thought it was shane going “demon?, demon?” from that one episode of buzzfeed unsolved lmaoo

Jarvis, your tangents are actually my favorite thing about watching this channel. I have really intense social anxiety, but your streams and how you interact with the chat makes me feel like I’m hanging out with friends. and I really appreciate that you watch weird stuff like this!!! this show is absolutely something that I’d love to watch, but not on my own, and I don’t have anyone else to watch it with :-) I love your content, Jarvis, you are awesome
"They say the truth will out, but is it always that easy to see"
sir, i'm very glad all of the gorilla stuff went into this video, this was a journey
Jarvis your tangents are the reason I watch all the videos on this channel!
This vod channel has been the only thing keeping me sane recently
“Inanimate object is edited like a human actor” should be on the bingo card lol
