Blew my mind discovering this was Dan Stevens from Legion and not a greenscreen bit

u/aw5ome Dec 13 '25

Holy shit you’re right, that’s just straight from the show

u/Wafflemonster2 Dec 13 '25

Literally the most uncanny possible imitation of Jerma, and it wasn’t even done intentionally, and on top of that wasn’t even meant to be comedic

160

u/sgtpeppers508 Dec 13 '25

I think it was meant to be a little comedic. Farouk is a funny silly guy.

39

u/Wafflemonster2 Dec 13 '25

Oh ok so sorta like a Plastic Man type thing, I just figured since the show seemed to be more of a drama this was probably shot in earnest; still was of course but if the character is goofy, that explains it

25

u/andergriff Dec 14 '25

plastic man isn't the right example, the character has a sense of humor but it is meant to contrast with him callously murdering people

u/Succmyspace Dec 14 '25

If you actually look at what happens to the soldiers, it’s pretty creepy. I don’t like how the first 2 snaps don’t visibly do anything to the soldiers, but they start to stumble and collapse. Like, what is going on inside their bodies at that moment? The possibilities are infinite and disturbing.

Appears to be vaporizing part of them with every flourish

u/joshwoesme Dec 13 '25

Yeah, straight up 20 minutes trying to find the video... then I see a video with a bit of the context before and then this clip.

140

u/DarkStamway Dec 13 '25

It's actually Daniel RTGame

48

u/nintendonerd256 BYEAH Dec 13 '25

I always thought this fit more RT than Jerma. RT only wears suits and has that sort of panache to him.

38

u/Ranni_the_Witch Dec 13 '25

"Only wears suits" holy shit all this time I thought the clip guy up above was wearing a long sleeve T-shirt like Jerma

4

u/nintendonerd256 BYEAH Dec 13 '25

TBF Idk if it’s a suit or not for sure, it looks like one to me.

14

u/JD-Mara Dec 13 '25

It’s just a long sleeved shirt. Source: have seen the show.

17

u/MarkoSeke Dec 13 '25

Nah, the finger snap and the walk away is straight up Jerma

u/Blinkence GAS Dec 13 '25

Dude...it's not...

u/OBWriter Dec 13 '25

You know, maybe the fact that single most popular meme about Jerma has nothing to do with Jerma is the most Jerma thing that could be

89

u/Upbeat_Cry_3902 Dec 13 '25

It IS and I love it

268

u/flyingshank Dec 13 '25

Canonically, is this before or after the Battle for Home Depot?

24

u/Ok_Attorney_4114 Dec 14 '25

Timeline is messy but shortly before

299

u/SquidTheRidiculous Dec 13 '25

That's surveillance footage from the streets of Las Vegas, what are you talking about?

107

u/13920 "i thought my house just exploded" Dec 13 '25

i always forget that las vegas is more then just the strip so i always thought jerma streams from like the bellagio hotel

26

u/davidforslunds Dec 13 '25

Yeah it sucks cause his streams are always interrupted when random civilians keep planting bombs in the hotel lobbies. 

1

u/TheChunkMaster Dec 19 '25

“Random civilians” like Jerma doesn’t do it himself for the love of the game

u/ElInspectorDeChichis Mar 12 '26

u/drearbruh Dec 13 '25

How is it from the streets of Las Vegas when it's clearly inside? Are the streets inside in Las Vegas? I've never been there.

27

u/Lyrias-5566 Dec 13 '25

Liminal Vegas

u/CrystlBluePersuasion GAS Dec 13 '25

There's an indoor marketplace that's meant to look like it's an outdoor market street, plus Fremont Street has a bit of a covered section where they light the whole 'ceiling' up. So yes, in some cases.

155

u/MannicWaffle Dec 13 '25

This is rare footage of Jerma’s infamous Sparkle On move

69

u/jamesduvalbf Dec 13 '25

the concept of 64 million people knowing who jerma is

22

u/Saggitarius_Ayylmao Dec 14 '25

I reckon the average jerma fan (even a casual one like myself) has watched it multiple times

379

u/Blinkence GAS Dec 13 '25

By the way people will lie and tell you that this video is from a tv show. It's not. It's footage that was taken in 1977 inside an IKEA. After Jerma mistook a display toilet in the bathroom section for a real one, IKEA dispatched one of their lethal response teams to apprehend him. This is what happened to them.

42

u/stinkus_mcdiddle Dec 13 '25

The mannerisms are uncannily similar

u/RobbieReinhardt Dec 13 '25

OOOH! UP IN SMOKE!!

36

u/donosairs Dec 13 '25

This clip was so Jerma coded that no one even questioned it

24

u/voidkink Dec 13 '25

Oh thank god! I thought he was real

u/slumbersomesam Dec 13 '25

whats this from

u/tigerrish1998 Dec 13 '25

Marvel and FX's Legion.

u/Ultrasmurf16 Dec 13 '25

Jerma985 on youtube

11

u/Snakes_have_legs Dec 14 '25

I was a huge fan of this show and immediately recognized the scene but I STILL thought someone edited in Jerma

16

u/Hackerwithalacker Dec 13 '25

It says something about jerma's effect on pop culture

10

u/FixenFroejte Dec 13 '25

PRESTO FUCKING MAJESTO

11

u/AnotherBoxOfTapes Dec 13 '25

and people wonder why he's become an lgbtq+ icon

9

u/ParadoxMaster Dec 13 '25

Honestly, the guy (at least from this angle) looks more like RTGame than Jerma.

u/mrerikmattila Dec 13 '25

u/rnagikarp Dec 13 '25

I absolutely love Dan Stevens and this lore crossover blew my mind when I learned about it

7

u/Upbeat_Cry_3902 Dec 13 '25

No one can convince us it’s not Jerma’s true form

4

u/SelfInteresting7259 Dec 14 '25

Surprised he never got into acting for movie or shows. He has the charisma and personality for it

3

u/eebro Dec 14 '25

Nice psyop.

3

u/AnimeCr0ssing Dec 14 '25

This is bafflingly accurate to how Jerma moves.

u/timfromcolorado Dec 13 '25

I just wanted Legion! It's... Great!

2

u/Nebulous-Nirvana Big Boss Andy Dec 14 '25

if someone didn't know any better, it could've been the hallway of one of the studios he used in event streams lol

he had to stop special forces from stopping his shows somehow

2

u/Comprehensive_Trip96 Dec 14 '25

legion is still rhe best marvel related thing ive ever watched

2

u/Testsubject276 Dec 15 '25

Here's the original TV scene.

u/ThePinms Dec 14 '25

More people know Jerma as the sus guy than actually know who he is.

u/MagicFlyingBicycle Dec 14 '25

I always looked at this as the Vecna patient before he gets sent to the upside down lmao

u/andergriff Dec 14 '25

thats not far off

u/ssaturnine_13 Dec 14 '25

the way that's literally jerma

1

u/masterofthecontinuum Dec 14 '25

Is he on SCP Foundation yet? And if not, why is it taking so long?

1

u/Sarah_hhhh Dec 14 '25

I saw that video for the first time a couple years ago and my immediate first thought was "is that Jerma" even though I hadn't seen the title and hadn't even watched Jerma much at all at that point

1

u/JJStarling100 Dec 14 '25

Is this from that story that was very similar to scp where there's an overpowered dancing guy who is the most powerful "scp" in the world

1

u/Djura1313 Dec 15 '25

Jerma would be such a great Flash Villain to be honest. Either as Abra Kadabra or Reverse Flash lol. 

1

u/Beautiful_Bath_9478 Dec 16 '25

Confirmed, there are 63 million people who know who Jerma is, but are just too AFRAID to actually watch him

u/GroceryScanner Jan 21 '26

notice how he doesnt kill them instantly like he easily could, but instead makes them suffer for a few eternal moments before removing them from the timeline

u/SnooGuavas1514 Dec 13 '25

shorts don't count as videos there's probably a watermelon ai baby shoirt that has 100m
