I remember when Glenn Webb (an amazing toy and action figure reviewer) passed away. He didn't tell anyone he was sick. Just one day, his partner appeared in his signature chair, told us that he had passed, thanked us, and told us how much our views meant to him. Nice, quiet dignity.
To be fair, from what I remember, Glenn didn't even know he was sick. He just had a heart condition that nobody knew about until it took him out in his sleep. Man, now I'm missing Glenn. That man taught me dry brushing.
Not a RUclipsr but that's how I found out about a friend from Xbox passing he never told us he was going for surgery and one day we logged into ark and his dad was logged in on his character and told us his funeral was that Saturday
While it was wrong of Sketchek to fake his death like that, the whole puzzle he set up was legendary. I don't know how else he could have done it where it would still be such a crazy hunt and reveal. But yeah, it guts me when hearing of anyone's suffering, so i feel terrible for his followers. But also impressed.
But also to his credit, he came forward and came clean on his own. He wasn't outed by fans and making the apology as damage control.. he just straight up owned up to it and apologized. Respect to him for that.
Or he could just quit like a decent human. I've stared down my own death, being flat out told I wouldn't live 6 months without surgery and chemo immediately, thanks stage 4 ovarian cancer, and that is truly terrible for my family, my friends, and myself. I got lucky and kicked the odds in the nuts. Thanks surgery, chemotherapy, and luck. This shit is childish. The hunt is nifty, but still childish
@@adushack1982 Honestly, it's likely there was some mental issues there. Yeah, it was a shitty thing to do, but the fact that he came clean was good. It also seems like whatever caused him to fake his death to escape youtube caused him to leave again... just this time he quit silently.
I noticed that too, almost choked on my red licorice. His acting chops nearly finished me off! I know his target audience was kids, but cmon.. hes hilarious in very demented way.
Jaystation: Guys, I'm so sad about the death of my girlfriend Alexia😢 Alexia: Quit telling everybody I'm dead!! Jaystation: Sometimes I can still hear her voice.
i swear there’s so many people out there that i have to remind myself they exist whenever i’m feeling depressed lol just to make myself feel better and it works pretty good 🤷♂️👍
The idea that any single human being watched Jay Station “cry” about his dead girlfriend and bought a word of it is INCREDIBLE to me. That’s a level of gullibility that hurts my guts
I don’t blame them, though. His fans are children. Really young children. Of course they’re gonna believe what they’re told at face value, their brains aren’t even close to being fully developed.
@@LadoTsulukidze Yeah, I've never watched any of his "content" or any other channels with similar nonsense. However my twin son do (just not Jaystation thank god lol) so I can see the audience they appeal to, but my god.... the "crying"? I can't imagine anyone kids included falling for that lol.
JayStation crossed multiple lines, from doing fake 3AM videos on recently deceased celebrities, to "buying slaves" from the dark web and faking his girlfriend's death for clicks and views, I was surprised why RUclips wasn't doing anything at the time but when the news came that they permabanned him, my heart filled with joy
A (very plausible) theory that's been passed around about Sketchek is that the reason he stopped uploading in 2022 was to quit TF2 and pursue a career as a VTuber. Between a VTuber channel found that sounds very close to Sketchek and his apparent fluency in Japanese, many think that's the direction he's taken.
@@Iotuseater sketchek's vtuber name is sonny brisko from nijisanji. he streamed tf2 a few months back and it's fairly obvious it's sketchek from his gameplay.
One theory I heard a lot in regards to this is that the reason he did it to distance himself away from the TF2 community because he was worried about how it would take one of their longer-lasting creators suddenly ditching the game and turning violent. So by doing this it allowed him to shed his old identity away, and even when the truth was revealed, only the sketchek brand was tainted so he would be free to start a whole new leaf under a new name
My favorite part of the Sketchek situation is, in TF2 one of the weapons the Spy class can use is called the "Dead Ringer", which fakes the players death on hit, and "Sketchek Simulator" is a popular rename for it
Seeing people manipulate people with death are some of the worst, and that ruins others who genuinely have problems, but it's probably a manipulation as old as time.
I agree! 💯 I can't stand manipulation on a good day, but throw death in the mix and I'm irrate! Just a few weeks after losing my Grandpa and Uncle to lung cancer, my ex came home and told me he now had lung cancer and had 6 mths to live. We cried all night while discussing his end of life wishes. I found out 3 days later that it was all LIES! Like what kind of sick people manipulate people in this way, ?!? 😠
the fact that people are like that in any time/era is... makes you question a lot. This age of the internet really has brought the worst of the worst into the spotlight and they thrive on it.
As someone unfamiliar with the Jaystation drama (I knew about him vaguely but not about this), the video announcing Alexia’s death is so funny, how he starts with “What’s up guys” and just plugs everything. It’s beyond a parody.
I only heard about the Jaystation thing from a video by a weird Yoda/Jar Jar Binks ASMR channel about Jaystation going to prison with Jar Jar. Before that, I didn't even know of his existence.
The main reason why I love this channel is that there is no clickbait, no BS, straight to the point, details clearly explained. I love it. Wavy, please keep up the good work, don’t let the views or the subscription count get to you, you’re one of few channels I watch a lot.
I was thinking the same thing. The clickbait has been so bad lately, it seems like every other thumbnail on my feed has some red arrow pointing to something obvious, or the host making this face :O, or some blatant CGI not even part of the actual video. Even content creators I respect are using these tricks to some extent, it's annoying and even sad tbh. Thanks for not going down that road wavy and keep up the great content!
That JayStation segment had BS written all over it. From almost cracking into laughter to his cameraman's unremorseful interactions, the whole prank had holes from the start
I know right? I'm someone who will feel pretty bad for people usually due to my empathetic nature but I couldn't find any piece of sympathy in myself for him during that apology. It was hilarious!
i remember seeing the JayStation video. the fact that anybody could believe his acting is just as insane as his stunt. he literally gave his second channel a shout out in the same sentence as the explanation of what allegedly happened, on top of the TERRIBLE acting.
It's insane how youtube went from being fun to basically just being full of a bunch of sociopaths trying to fleece little kids for everything they have.
i thought we executed them via boomerang years ago nice sneaky edit there dont listen to this troglodyte, sketchek is an absolute lad and we still claim him
Ah yes the "Australians" . Or should I say the "spider-kangaroo- crocodile monsters" pretending to be humans after wiping out all humans on that Island in 1979.
@@machinegunkellykapoor yep. Unfortunately his audience was mainly young children below 14. Most of them believing anything and everything Jaystation posted. I’ve randomly looked every now and then, just to see what the comments on his vids were & it was mainly kids fully invested in his weird macabre fake shit… sad honestly and really fucked to fuck with childrens feelings like that
i have a friend who died from terminal cancer. tommy and johnny saying their chiropractor can heal any ailment is so insanely infuriating. she tried everything. this is hard to watch
yeah, i don't know what kind, but cancer killed my grandma. when someone makes up a fake cure for cancer, i get so angry. it feels like they're directly mocking my grandma, even though they aren't.
@@Dragoncharmander but they are. there’s countless media showing what cancer patients truly go thru. the good, the bad, and the ugly (not much good tho) and they know they’re hurting people. they’re profiting off of people trying to survive hell. it’s a direct attack and that makes it even more deplorable.
A friend of my mother died from some kind of cancer. I don’t really remember the details but it was hard for my mother after her death. Can’t recall details but she might have gone to that friend’s funeral service.
Yeah, Cybershell kinda did something similar to that. Although Cybershell probably should have shut down his Patreon during that time, although it definitely seems like he regrets that decision.
I had a "friend" who faked their own death. It was circulating that they had died, but for some reason I just didn't believe it. She had gotten addicted to drugs, and I just had a feeling it was a lie. Turns out I was right, and she just "wanted to see what people thought." Never talked to her again, but she ended up overdosing and dying for real about 2 years after. Don't do H, kids
I'm a TF2 player, I play the same class as Sketchek, that being pyro. I've always looked up to the man, since if you know the game, you know he's actually insanely skilled, like, big time. I'd always watch his videos and he was a great inspiration for me to get better at the game. I still watch his videos and I'd still like to get to his level one day, but ever since the controversy I cannot look at him the same as a person. Also, fun fact - there is an item (Dead ringer) for the spy class that let's you fake your own death to get out of unfortunate situation and players have been renaming theirs to "Sketchek Bequest" as a joke, I'm planning to do the same lol.
But like that was the most sincere RUclipsr apology ever. Like all these fake apologies people do now. I give him that at least. But to be fair, as someone who also wanted to disappear from everything, I understand why he did it. But I understand why people don't like what he did as well.
@@alo2285 I agree with you there, the apology was sincere and I understand wanting to disappear from everything, I just don't think this was an okay way to do it. Ghosting his audience would be way better
I’m honestly appalled that Tommy And Johnny not only had a give away on their death video, but they also literally say to TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS in order to be eligible for the giveaway, literally on their supposedly last video upload.
That, and both of them dying at the same time. Not that it's not possible, but it's EXTREMELY unlikely and should have been an instant red flag that something fishy was going on.
That was my favorite part. We're not making any videos because we're dying, so make sure to turn on notifications for the videos we will never make (cause we'll be dead and all). Between that and the kid on the left trying not to laugh the whole time I'd assume their audience must be very young to have fallen for it, which makes it even worse.
40:32 not going to lie , I paused to see what they checked off and I’m stunned at this tomfoolery 🤣 I even looked to see if they checked off the same things , talking about the pain is a 10/10 🫠 gfto 😂😂
Most of them are probably children or at least pretty young. But yeah, still hard to believe a single not-super-gullible person believed him at all. It's so obviously fake by his expressions and mannerisms.
I lost someone close to me last month. She took her own life. These stories are infuriating because of just how terrible loss is. It changes you. I miss her every single day. I don't say this for sympathy, just to express my distaste for those who would abuse loss for views. Rest in paradise Yukari. You left us too soon. 💔
Oh my god I'm so sorry you had to go through something like that! I hope everyone affected by her loss gets better soon! ❤ Life is the biggest gift anyone has ever been granted😢
My mom passed away suddenly in December after just beating cancer, and it was the hardest most painful while simultaneously expensive thing I've experienced in my life even more so than being homeless to the point I am so glad I had support because there was literally no possible way I could have done it alone. As I watch these people make money off of pretend sadness and pain I can't understand what clicked in their brain or is lacking from their character to think this isn't immoral af.
@Sally Philpin Thank you. The hardest part was realizing that it's not a dream and that she wasn't just stuck in there, it was real. Death is not a joke especially when it comes to someone you can't imagine life without.
@Kylo B Thank you so much. You're all so kind and I appreciate that makes me realize there are still good folks on the internet that just wanna bring people up.
As someone who faked his death at the age of 11 to get out of writing a fanfiction on Wattpad, this video makes me want to go back to that old account and clear the air. Luckily, nobody seemed to believe me, which is good because I lost the email and password for that account.
I remember considering a few times faking my own death just to get out of online bullshit too when i was at that age. Just one of those things kids don’t think too much about, lol. Death at that age is already just one of those things that don’t really seem that real to you unless you’ve actually experienced it.
I would honestly go back to that account on a newer one just to clear the air and be honest, but, ive also thought about it around that age too though it might just be the depression there are folk that care, even if you yourself dont realize it
I'm waiting for some massive drama revlving around Markiplier to be exposed, cause I refuse to believe he's as "pure" as his fans claims he is. Sure, he comes across as the nicest guy around and that convinces me that he has big skeletons in his closet XD
As an addendum to the Sketchek story: Sketchek's back in content creation, under the name Sonny Brisko, a v-tuber. People pieced the similarities together and doubt isn't really allowed. Sonny is an Australian guy expatriated to Japan. Just like Sketchek. Their voices are extremely similar (not to say the exact same). And during a collaboration event where v-tubers of his agency, Sonny played. The game? TF2. Sonny's character? Pyro. And his movement/playstyle was the same as Sketchek, using the same weapon and everything. And even if he tried to hide it, when you spend 8000+ hours on a game, it will show. At this point, it's painfully obvious that Sonny Brisko and Sketchek are one and the same.
Their voices are literally the exact same, just listen to a newer sonny vod or sth and you'll hear it. Debut era sonny was cutefying his voice because of nerves that's why they didn't sound that similar at first. Nowadays he just speaks in his natural voice so it's pretty easy to tell. Also he plays tf2 from time to time whether it's in his IDK streams or membership streams, and he said tf2 is his comfort game so there's that too🥺
@@hikarupi I don't know how I feel about this to be honest. I don't wish bad things to happen to him at all, but the fact he managed to recover so easily from faking his own death... doesn't sit right with me. I don't like the fact he suffered no consequences from playing with people's emotions.
@@TonyKazoku I mean I understand your feelings but this whole thing happened in 2015 yet people still make videos about it so I don't think he didn't suffer any consequences at all. He's very very loved by his family(he himself always talks about them), friends, co-workers and fans, All of his co-workers who have met him irl said that he's the sweetest and the most chill so I'm pretty sure he's a much better person now. Tho personally I don't think he was ever bad, he made a mistake, apologized, and even though he was in a very bad mental state when he faked his death he didn't talk about it or use it as an execuse. I think that's very admirable. Even now, whenever he makes a mistake he immediately apologizes.
Oh damn, I watched Sonny awhile when he debuted and have seen couple videos about Sketcheck but didn't put them together at all. Well I'm glad he seems to be doing better now. Obviously not a cool thing to do put it was a long time ago and I don't know how old he was at the time but he has probably grown a lot since. I guess that's kinda the beauty of v-tubing that you can sort of start again and even though people can figure out the previous online present of the v-tubers there is a bit of separation to that making it easier to make new content.
28:48 You could translate that as "vomit" (I wouldn't), but it's also interestingly understood as "confession" and "the sound of a frog croaking; ribbit"
@@sticklyboi Colloquially speaking, yes you could. If simply written with no context, it could equally be vomit, ribbit, or "spilling your guts" (confession), because all three are written in kana. For these expressions (onomatopoeias), there aren't really any kanji, the context is what tells you the meaning. It's really interpretive, he could be juxtaposing each meaning intentionally, or just frog sound. With the code being written the way it is, to me it reads like imitating a frog, and not vomit (verb or noun).
I've said it before. Alexia can sit and claim she didn't know he was going to do that video but she made no effort to come out and tell the truth for the longest time. the only time she spoke out and exposed it was when she had nothing to gain because she went seperate ways from him... before that though she was more than happy to hide away and keep the illusion..
@@someguy4915 Except as far as we know she didn't fake shit of her own accord. She's not innocent, but she clearly isn't the perpetrator either. You have evidence the rest of us don't?
@@BananaDynastyX Read the first reply buddy xD Nobody claims she did it all on herself, but she was clearly okay with going along with it, faking her own death for views.
As a uruguayan I was very familiarized with Yao and... well this event, Im really happy to have seen it being included in your video. Ive never commented here before but Ive watch many of your videos wavy, I appreciate the work. Edit: Yao was known, years before that fake death, for faking getting stabbed.
I’ve never heard of him and I don’t understand any of the commentary but it REALLY irked me when the clips showed him stealing from the ice cream man, and when the worker fell in the water and Yao just laughed and ran away. What a gross human
Reminds me of one of those early 80's car salesman tv ads by someone like Cal Worthington. It's like screaming you're the phoniest of phony and I don't know why anyone would (or could) watch someone do that for more than a few seconds.
People pay attention to high energy, it’s more engaging. The fact they’re lies aren’t why people pay attention to them. It’s a high energy thing, not an inauthentic thing lol
It really ticks me off when people fake or exploit death. Nothing about death is funny or light. We all know people who have died and caused despair and grief to those left behind. Using death for money or attention is so low, harmful, and disrespectful. Thanks for shining a light on this madness and another entertaining video! You are my favorite channel on the platform and can tell stories like no one else! Keep going Wavy!
It isnt just death thou, people fake illness and disabilities too and it is just as abhorrent cause people living with these issues are often doomed to forever poverty cause disability cant even pay 50% of minimum wage.
@@IToastMySocks I sometimes make jokes about my mom being dead (and dead for most of my life sorta time) when people online make demeaning jokes about my mother. Usually shuts them down and the responses are usually amusing. (Those are the sorts of jokes that were up my mother's alley of sense of humor.)
Agreed. Nothing is funny about ppl dying. Plus, you know how many ppl would do anything to find out that the news of their loved ones’ death wasn’t true???! Instead these ppl take life for granted and they’re using their fans for money.
Super fake. Even the crying is fake like come on come on. How did anybody watch his content unless they were just trying to watch the train wreck but that was feeding into the content. I've heard of him but I don't think I've ever seen anything of his
rlly sucks that sketch had to fake his death for this type of stuff, like his fans were definitely very glad and relieved to see him alive but you cant take back the genuine grief the community had. It would’ve been such a sick ARG if he hadnt stooped so low.
He could've replaced the whole being dead thing with "I'm going to take a long break, don't expect me to be back so soon at all." And *then* he'd do the whole ARG thing as is. It would've been legendary.
It was never big enough to get mainstream attraction, but a Spyro speedrunner named Jeremythompson faked his own suicide a few years ago. It blew up so much he got a tribute at GDQ. Nowadays he just streams the same old thing like it never happened. Real piece of work.
It’s so bizarre that channels like Jaystation were mainly watched/supported by small children watching the dumbest possible content because everyone is shouting and hyper
@@Madkalibyr hes kinda funny sometimes . I was dying of laughter for hours with my friends once cause we played his gay potion video during a silent time in class.
And some of them don't even get past the point of finding it appealing. I work with a kid whose about to turn twenty and anytime he bothers to be social he goes on about how great content like this is, how he thinks it's the best thing on the internet. I swear he's the embodiment of every negative stereotype about the younger generation; a shame because I've met plenty of people in that age group who are well rounded and intelligent.
Dude really said "I get a little dizzy sometimes, I guess I'm dying" when every time I stand just a little too fast my entire vision factory resets lol. Guess I have to go to a chiropractor
The Vandals put out a song years ago about a dude that was embarrassed that his girlfriend broke up with him, so he just told everyone that she was dead. It's a toe-tapper.
I've always had a small impression that Sketchek only went through with the ARG and apology video because he slipped up and got caught playing TF2 on an account that was supposed to be dead.
as someone with pretty bad vertigo, it’s not gonna kill you, does it make things miserable yes but it’s manageable on bad days and noticeable on good days. honestly i feel like he just went with an uncommon condition and figured no one would know about it.
Did JayStation confuse the Greater Toronto Area with the GTA game? You can absolutely be arrested in your home with a warrant in Toronto. It's called an arrest warrant...
The sketchek situation is one that really concerns me and makes me think what other RUclipsrs have tried this. And not just RUclipsrs, famous people in general. Its crazy
@@lucasburdenofficial I agree that it’s wild and very out there not to mention probably not ethically correct from any angle, but it’s not CONCERNING, is what I meant. Streamers don’t owe us anything
We received a phone call that my loved one had been smashed into by a driver and was laying in the road. We didn’t know if he would survive. Words can’t express what that call is like or what it’s like to see your loved one smashed to pieces, swollen, in a coma and in intensive care. We were lucky and he survived. So many people aren’t as lucky. There are no words for how sick this is
Tommy and Johnny's video kinda pissed me off extra. I'm physically disabled. I have multiple physical disabilities, including EDS, fibromyalgia, a TBI, POTS, severe asthma, and more. I literally am trapped in my body every day, but its not anything that could get better, and only if something happened would they get significantly worse. I have no cure. Some have treatments, but theyre more like managements than cures. I would kill to be able to just get better. Even to get rid of some of them. I hope everyone who does something like this actually has to deal with something like what they fake. They're part of the reason almost every disabled person online gets fake claimed.
I have EDS too. Faking it doesn't mean someone deserves to have this. No one deserves that. Maybe, like, Hitler or something, but not for just doing something wrong like fraud that doesn't physically hurt people.
@@SpecialBlanket the problem is, whether they realize it or no, they do hurt people. Not always directly. People have their ableism reinforced by people pulling that stuff. They make people think almost everyone they see is faking it for some reason. Thats caused both mental distress and actual, physical harm before, and it will continue to. It is one thing when its something like the second guy who didnt do it for more attention and crap like that, whatever, its dumb but it at least doesn't intend to do something actually bad. But these two? Honestly just sick.
People fake it and it results in actually disabled people getting fake claimed. I hate it. Like I'll see cutesy things made by Neurodivergent people for neurodivergent people and neurotypicals will call it ableist. And on the physical side of things, I also have EDS but I'm not gonna tell people irl because they won't know it and will likely call me lazy when I can't do much due to the chronic pain I got through it (and maybe something else in there, I dunno.)
The jaystation one cuts harder than most to me. My best friend was actually killed in an motor vehicle accident with a head on collision. So him faking that shit is disgusting.
Jagged, all three of them faked it, not just Jay, Einstein. His buddy and Alexia all had agreed to it. L0sers like you just blame one man, when it was all three of them that did it.
As someone from latinoamerica hearing the name Yao Cabrera in 2023 is like getting hit by a truck and a bucket of ice at the same time. I swear he was such a meme in the LATAM online community back in the day, you would not stop hearing his name and then all of the sudden no one remembered him. Wild stuff--
i wanted to say i think youve done a great example of incorporating youtube trends like longer videos and true crime into your content without it feeling inauthentic or cash crabby, it feels like youre genuinely interested and do thorough research
This video was unwatchable. Not because of you, Wavywebsurfer, you're great. All of these terrible liars and their even worse acting is just too much. Kudos to you for being able to research, compile, and edit all of this
That's the worst part about it. It's so obviously fake, and terribly acted it's mind-boggling who even falls for this shit. Then I remember that it's mostly those braindead gen Zs and notice how much they ruined youtube and social media in general by having everyone pander to them and trying to fleece them.
The thing is, Sketchek's conspiracy looks like it was such a cool thing to get into, and it could've just been a blast for his fans to decipher. But he had to taint it by faking his death.
Every time I watch that video where he announced her death, I'm always kind of surprised any one believed it. Dude is not a good actor and plugs that Dream Team channel of is throughout the video with the subtlety of a chainsaw.
My dad is actually dying of cancer and my brother almost died of cancer at 18 years old so honestly, if I knew someone faking a terminal illness, I would happily spit in each of their eyes over and over again until my spit had blinded them.
I am always suspicious of people who record every aspect of their lives and share it on social media, like these guys. It's incredibly off-putting, and I am not surprised they would go to such lengths just for attention. I would love to read their psych evals if they ever got them. 😂
I think they're so insecure that they need to seek validation for anything. Took out the garbage? Need to say they did a good job. Flushed the toilet? Need to say good job. Plus a bit of narcissism. They think they are so important and anything they do is noteworthy. But I'm not a psychologist, I just took 4 psych classes in college. It is no doubt interesting.
@@phillipbailey2525 Tbh, if I was getting paid just to complain about taking the bin out to the road, best believe every Tuesday there'd be a new upload of me bitching about it. (And laughing internally at all the idiots that actually watch it)
Yeah, I'm not a fan of them either. They're so fake that it makes me cringe every time when they act like they're so important and live such an amazing life when it's all just an act.
Even tho I know like 70% of the RUclips/internet lore, I always enjoy watching wavywebsurf vids bc he just puts it in such a way that I feel like anybody can understand 😌
I know this is serious, but I died when JayStation said “My girlfriend just passed away in a tragic accident, I miss her so much!” In a very enthusiastic voice 😂😂😂😂😂😂
My IQ lowered by several points and my already low faith in humanity dropped to nearly 0 after watching this whole video. But Wavy always makes this shit so palatable! God bless your dedication to putting this together, I would go insane going down these rabbit holes! I'm bracing myself for the next!
Tommy and Johnny using their religion as a means of justifying their scummy actions really makes it obvious why so many people are critical of religion.
As a man of faith myself, I refer you to Mark 13 and/or Matthew 24, and Luke 18. Faithful people despise “religion” because people use it as a form of clout-seeking. Yet God forgave the tax collector who begged for forgiveness silently, not the Pharisee who proclaimed in front of an audience of onlooking fans how good of a servant he was to God. The brothers are just like that Pharisee, imo. They are clout-seeking leeches. I wish they’d keep Jesus Christ’s name out of their mouths.
I was looking in the comments to see if extremegamez was on here (because the bookmark is tommy and johnny) and I was about to blow a gasket if they weren't on here lmfao.
Another thing that should've been mentioned in the Sketchek segment is that the tribute weapon that the Team Fortress 2 developers made for him was removed because of his, for lack of better words, scandal.
I, too, exclaim a very RUclips monetizably friendly "what the frigg!" when I'm "like totally freaked out right now." That's a thing everyone does. Humans.
Plus, the way he says it breaks me. "You know, he's just like, getting FUCKED UP, and then like "We gotta redo it, we gotta" "AAAAH" You know, just like, something like that."
As a legitimate Christian, the fact that the brothers kept bringing up Jesus makes me so mad. They're not actually Christains. They're claiming to be in order to seem more trustworthy. It makes us real Christians look bad. Someone who actually has Jesus in their heart would never do what they did.
I was thinking that myself, I recently found the beauty of the Lord and to hear them say what they did... makes you realise why so many people are reluctant to convert.
I like how Tommy and Johnny said they're making a final video about their health condition and they could die yet they want people to still subscribe to their channel for an iPhone 😂😂
Really fascinating video! Great RUclips history along with the truth behind shocking idiots. You have a fantastic narration style and I am so glad to have come across your channel. Looking forward to much more entertaining and intelligent binge watching lol!
Tommy and Johnny first saying that that was their last video and then telling people to subscribe and activate the bell, it's just poetic. I think they might be sharing in 2 a single brain cell
The fact that Jay Station not only lied about her dying, but ALSO SET UP A FAKE MEMORIAL and went there really bothers me. It's the exact reason I have no remorse for anything that happens to his career or his channel.
The Sam and Colby kidnap/murder prank was the most insane thing I think I've seen like these cases. Also- Markiplier might as well have a personalized hospital room how much he goes but that's just because he likes to test his limits 😈🤙 and he doesn't dramatize it, he'd be the kind to break his spine and say," don't worry about it"💀
The most surprising part of this entire video to me is that there was a single soul that took that first breakdown seriously while he plugs other channels and asks for a million subscribers
Can I suggest maybe doing a video on content creators who have been accused of crimes they didn’t commit? Like grooming claims/murder/scamming belters. There’s just so many! Also love you sis much which is why I would love to see you cover these! ❤
I was kind of wondering this, because just liking/subscribing and turning on notifications sounds like an incredibly broad thing to have do in order to enter a contest. Like would they just choose someone randomly after being notified of their subscription or would they sift through thousands of notifications and just pick someone who did all 3? Does YT even notify you of someone turning on notifications for your channel? It just sounds like a weird way to do a giveaway although I really don't know, I don't watch any channels that do that kind of thing.

A RUclipsr faking a terminal illness is absolutely disgusting and this is coming from somebody who is currently grieving a RUclipsr I looked up to for many many years who is literally dying of pancreatic cancer as we speak!
The amount of fun you have at 52:48 is warming to the soul! Glad you enjoy what you do, you're great at it! Thanks for teaching me the word "chicanery" and keep it up!
This is beyond disgusting and disappointing as someone who who has gone thru the pain of loosing my brother to murder in July 2021 and the perpetrator getting away with stabbing my brother to death in Portland Oregon I've been thru so much heartbreak and sorrow I absolutely can't believe someone would go this far and to pretend a loved one has died while gaining views and exploiting it while there's true people out there like me having to deal with death every day to the point you can't even think or eat right I literally don't go a day wishing I could hug my brother one more time or to be able to bring him back :'( .. just for people like jaystation to profit off of a fake death is disturbing and wrong! I hope he loses his youtube accounts for the many people he has mocked and hurt with this "stunt".
Yes I did look up Tyson morlock in Portland Oregon he was homeless and wouldn't accept help even though I tried for years but his addiction got the better of him. I miss him everyday my youtube name is what I called him as a inside joke "boo" he fought with a guy he knew that had a huge machete on him and my brother grabbed a tent pole that couldn't hurt anyone and so the guy stabbed my brother in the ribs thru his lungs and he bled to death in the hospital I went to where he was stabbed and it was truly devastating! But my brother never even touched the guy who stabbed my brother yet the police believe it was self defense so the murderer got away with it even though he was trained in the military how to fight and dearm anyone but it my mind he killed my brother who never touched him at all ever with anything never even swung the flimsy tent pole at the guy yet the guy was able to stab him in the chest with a machete and have it be self defense but he's a murderer who should of been prosecuted!
I remember watching a video where Mutahar calls the Ontario police regarding Jaystation's girlfriend's "death" and has been confirmed that she never died.

Jaystation so one number
The Jaystation story is actually beautiful. Nobody really died except for Jay's career and crap content.
Sadly he’s covertly back on YT
What I hate about him is that his sentences are mostly ended with the word "guys"
@@TheyCallMeDio I can't watch any clips of him without the word "guys" sounding not real anymore.
Come on guys! You guy'ses are so cool!
@@TheyCallMeDio really annoyed with any creator end with "guys" "right?"
I remember when Glenn Webb (an amazing toy and action figure reviewer) passed away. He didn't tell anyone he was sick. Just one day, his partner appeared in his signature chair, told us that he had passed, thanked us, and told us how much our views meant to him.
Nice, quiet dignity.
I still think about Glenn to this day
Bro stop you're gonna make me cry
To be fair, from what I remember, Glenn didn't even know he was sick. He just had a heart condition that nobody knew about until it took him out in his sleep.
Man, now I'm missing Glenn. That man taught me dry brushing.
Not a RUclipsr but that's how I found out about a friend from Xbox passing he never told us he was going for surgery and one day we logged into ark and his dad was logged in on his character and told us his funeral was that Saturday
That's horrible. I never even heard of the person but that's so sad. May they rest in peace 😥
Hearing jaystation actually talk like a normal human being and not a bad cartoon character is genuinely surreal
I kept expecting him to add 'you guys' every three words like normal, but said seriously in his normal voice
Omg in love with your character pfp
No clue who that is
Oh God I almost quit the video because he wouldn't stop yelling....
@@denjeezare you really that simple
While it was wrong of Sketchek to fake his death like that, the whole puzzle he set up was legendary. I don't know how else he could have done it where it would still be such a crazy hunt and reveal. But yeah, it guts me when hearing of anyone's suffering, so i feel terrible for his followers. But also impressed.
But also to his credit, he came forward and came clean on his own. He wasn't outed by fans and making the apology as damage control.. he just straight up owned up to it and apologized. Respect to him for that.
@@mekkiepoo Absolutely!
Or he could just quit like a decent human. I've stared down my own death, being flat out told I wouldn't live 6 months without surgery and chemo immediately, thanks stage 4 ovarian cancer, and that is truly terrible for my family, my friends, and myself. I got lucky and kicked the odds in the nuts. Thanks surgery, chemotherapy, and luck. This shit is childish. The hunt is nifty, but still childish
@@adushack1982 Honestly, it's likely there was some mental issues there. Yeah, it was a shitty thing to do, but the fact that he came clean was good. It also seems like whatever caused him to fake his death to escape youtube caused him to leave again... just this time he quit silently.
@@RenAsterion Look up the vtuber Sonny Brisko and you'll see why he "quit" quietly
The hilarious part about Jaystation was how he was wiping his EYEBROWS while he was "Crying"
I'm not familiar with his GARBAGE videos but what is shown on here WASN'T even 1% believable.
You mean you don't cry from your Eyebrows?
I noticed that too, almost choked on my red licorice. His acting chops nearly finished me off! I know his target audience was kids, but cmon.. hes hilarious in very demented way.
That scammer had a LOT of Icy Hot under his eyes. The way he couldn't even open his eyes as the tears came out was a dead giveaway.
the man didn't even have tears, so he was wiping at nothing anyways
Jaystation: Guys, I'm so sad about the death of my girlfriend Alexia😢
Alexia: Quit telling everybody I'm dead!!
Jaystation: Sometimes I can still hear her voice.
He would do that
Beautiful brother bear reference 😂
Jay Station makes everyone feel better about themselves.
For real tho , especially since he was a grown ass man making 3am videos😂
Saaaaame
Aboot
i swear there’s so many people out there that i have to remind myself they exist whenever i’m feeling depressed lol just to make myself feel better and it works pretty good 🤷♂️👍
Yup
The idea that any single human being watched Jay Station “cry” about his dead girlfriend and bought a word of it is INCREDIBLE to me. That’s a level of gullibility that hurts my guts
The words "what's up guys" should be enough evidence to have doubt
I don’t blame them, though. His fans are children. Really young children. Of course they’re gonna believe what they’re told at face value, their brains aren’t even close to being fully developed.
they just figured out how toilets work cant be too hard on the ipad babies
Yup. His acting skills seem to be on par with Neil Breen's movies
@@LadoTsulukidze Yeah, I've never watched any of his "content" or any other channels with similar nonsense. However my twin son do (just not Jaystation thank god lol) so I can see the audience they appeal to, but my god.... the "crying"? I can't imagine anyone kids included falling for that lol.
The fact that Tommy and Johnny went to a random chiropractor to "heal" them from their "illness" makes this 10x more worse yet so hilarious
Respect for getting subscribers by solely commenting on RUclips videos. I have not seen this until now👌
Especially if their gut was leaking, they’d have died from peritonitis rather quickly.
What's pretty ironic is that there's a small minority of chiropractors that actually believe it can heal cancer
They didn’t lie they were sick I’m the chiropractor that healed them. (I’m joking)
@@markhirsch6301 or are they just saying that for money? The world will never know
JayStation crossed multiple lines, from doing fake 3AM videos on recently deceased celebrities, to "buying slaves" from the dark web and faking his girlfriend's death for clicks and views, I was surprised why RUclips wasn't doing anything at the time but when the news came that they permabanned him, my heart filled with joy
Filled with joy over a dude who lost his job? Jesus Christ!
@@beelow84
Yes 😎
@@beelow84 i sure as hell am
@@beelow84 yes.
I was so mad when I found out my nephew got sucked into his channel. So glad they finally permabanned him.
A (very plausible) theory that's been passed around about Sketchek is that the reason he stopped uploading in 2022 was to quit TF2 and pursue a career as a VTuber. Between a VTuber channel found that sounds very close to Sketchek and his apparent fluency in Japanese, many think that's the direction he's taken.
Really? That's so bizarre what's the name
@@Iotuseater sketchek's vtuber name is sonny brisko from nijisanji. he streamed tf2 a few months back and it's fairly obvious it's sketchek from his gameplay.
@@wysssssssi727 wtf sketchek's career is wild if so hahahaha
@@redactedz6146 Dude's gross.
One theory I heard a lot in regards to this is that the reason he did it to distance himself away from the TF2 community because he was worried about how it would take one of their longer-lasting creators suddenly ditching the game and turning violent.
So by doing this it allowed him to shed his old identity away, and even when the truth was revealed, only the sketchek brand was tainted so he would be free to start a whole new leaf under a new name
My favorite part of the Sketchek situation is, in TF2 one of the weapons the Spy class can use is called the "Dead Ringer", which fakes the players death on hit, and "Sketchek Simulator" is a popular rename for it
Seeing people manipulate people with death are some of the worst, and that ruins others who genuinely have problems, but it's probably a manipulation as old as time.
I agree! 💯 I can't stand manipulation on a good day, but throw death in the mix and I'm irrate! Just a few weeks after losing my Grandpa and Uncle to lung cancer, my ex came home and told me he now had lung cancer and had 6 mths to live. We cried all night while discussing his end of life wishes. I found out 3 days later that it was all LIES! Like what kind of sick people manipulate people in this way, ?!? 😠
The shit wasn't even 1% believable.
the fact that people are like that in any time/era is... makes you question a lot. This age of the internet really has brought the worst of the worst into the spotlight and they thrive on it.
As someone unfamiliar with the Jaystation drama (I knew about him vaguely but not about this), the video announcing Alexia’s death is so funny, how he starts with “What’s up guys” and just plugs everything. It’s beyond a parody.
I honestly can't be mad at it. I just laugh at the stupidity of the whole situation
"her dream was to get 1 million subscribers" like wtf 😭
I only heard about the Jaystation thing from a video by a weird Yoda/Jar Jar Binks ASMR channel about Jaystation going to prison with Jar Jar. Before that, I didn't even know of his existence.
The main reason why I love this channel is that there is no clickbait, no BS, straight to the point, details clearly explained. I love it. Wavy, please keep up the good work, don’t let the views or the subscription count get to you, you’re one of few channels I watch a lot.
I was thinking the same thing. The clickbait has been so bad lately, it seems like every other thumbnail on my feed has some red arrow pointing to something obvious, or the host making this face :O, or some blatant CGI not even part of the actual video. Even content creators I respect are using these tricks to some extent, it's annoying and even sad tbh.
Thanks for not going down that road wavy and keep up the great content!
Hm 🤔 I've been watching a lot of his videos. I suppose I should indeed subscribe
Wouldn't want to see him die.
That JayStation segment had BS written all over it. From almost cracking into laughter to his cameraman's unremorseful interactions, the whole prank had holes from the start
I know right? I'm someone who will feel pretty bad for people usually due to my empathetic nature but I couldn't find any piece of sympathy in myself for him during that apology. It was hilarious!
Apparently anything passes as a "prank" these days.
@@najtofnin2009”giving McDonald’s to homeless children prank (Not Clickbait!)
dude not even knowing the situation i could smell the bs. like he is shitty at fake crying :/ he needs acting lessons
i remember seeing the JayStation video. the fact that anybody could believe his acting is just as insane as his stunt. he literally gave his second channel a shout out in the same sentence as the explanation of what allegedly happened, on top of the TERRIBLE acting.
it's because little kids with no proper parental figures just absorb everything on their iPad and assume it's real
It's insane how youtube went from being fun to basically just being full of a bunch of sociopaths trying to fleece little kids for everything they have.
I was just about to say the same thing until I seen this comment. So true.
"All she ever wanted was to get to a million subscribers" - he's a real piece of work.
I mean I believed it because I was only in middle school and incredibly naive
As an Australian I deeply apologise on behalf of all other Australians for producing Sketchek, Tommy & Johnny. We do not claim them.
i thought we executed them via boomerang years ago
nice sneaky edit there
dont listen to this troglodyte, sketchek is an absolute lad and we still claim him

With how much he talked about dream team in the death video I'm honestly shocked anyone fell for it
That shit looked and sounded so fake. 🙄
So was I. It was so obvious he wasn't crying in the first video he posted about it.
His audience was all children.
@@MakerInMotion Oh really? I didn't know anything about him before this. What an atrocious thing for children to watch.
@@machinegunkellykapoor yep. Unfortunately his audience was mainly young children below 14. Most of them believing anything and everything Jaystation posted. I’ve randomly looked every now and then, just to see what the comments on his vids were & it was mainly kids fully invested in his weird macabre fake shit… sad honestly and really fucked to fuck with childrens feelings like that
i have a friend who died from terminal cancer. tommy and johnny saying their chiropractor can heal any ailment is so insanely infuriating. she tried everything. this is hard to watch
yeah, i don't know what kind, but cancer killed my grandma. when someone makes up a fake cure for cancer, i get so angry. it feels like they're directly mocking my grandma, even though they aren't.
@@Dragoncharmander but they are. there’s countless media showing what cancer patients truly go thru. the good, the bad, and the ugly (not much good tho) and they know they’re hurting people. they’re profiting off of people trying to survive hell. it’s a direct attack and that makes it even more deplorable.
My best friend died a month ago tomorrow from stage 5 kidney disease. I feel you it is hard to watch
A friend of my mother died from some kind of cancer. I don’t really remember the details but it was hard for my mother after her death. Can’t recall details but she might have gone to that friend’s funeral service.
tbh if Sketchek wanted to get away he could've just... ghosted his audience, and easily still done the whole cool arg thing even with that!
Exactly. It wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't lied to literally everyone.
Yeah, I hate that people kind of let him get away lightly from that
Yeah, Cybershell kinda did something similar to that. Although Cybershell probably should have shut down his Patreon during that time, although it definitely seems like he regrets that decision.
I doubt he had it planned out from the start, he probably decided he wants to come back later and came up with the arg thing
I had a "friend" who faked their own death. It was circulating that they had died, but for some reason I just didn't believe it. She had gotten addicted to drugs, and I just had a feeling it was a lie. Turns out I was right, and she just "wanted to see what people thought."
Never talked to her again, but she ended up overdosing and dying for real about 2 years after. Don't do H, kids
Who does H anymore? It's all about that Fetty wap!
Don't turn your back to those you care about either, addiction is a sickness not a choice

I'm a TF2 player, I play the same class as Sketchek, that being pyro. I've always looked up to the man, since if you know the game, you know he's actually insanely skilled, like, big time. I'd always watch his videos and he was a great inspiration for me to get better at the game. I still watch his videos and I'd still like to get to his level one day, but ever since the controversy I cannot look at him the same as a person.
Also, fun fact - there is an item (Dead ringer) for the spy class that let's you fake your own death to get out of unfortunate situation and players have been renaming theirs to "Sketchek Bequest" as a joke, I'm planning to do the same lol.
But like that was the most sincere RUclipsr apology ever. Like all these fake apologies people do now. I give him that at least.
But to be fair, as someone who also wanted to disappear from everything, I understand why he did it. But I understand why people don't like what he did as well.
@@alo2285 I agree with you there, the apology was sincere and I understand wanting to disappear from everything, I just don't think this was an okay way to do it. Ghosting his audience would be way better
@@davidzahalka2766 yeah for sure.
Its just so cringe and disrespectful to turn a death hoax into a dumbass arg rabbit hole. Shit is so cringe
All he had to do was stay off the computer oh he apologized big deal what he did was fucked
The funny thing about Jaystation’s situation was that his girlfriend leaving him made him genuinely depressed than his girlfriend being dead.
I’m honestly appalled that Tommy And Johnny not only had a give away on their death video, but they also literally say to TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS in order to be eligible for the giveaway, literally on their supposedly last video upload.
That, and both of them dying at the same time. Not that it's not possible, but it's EXTREMELY unlikely and should have been an instant red flag that something fishy was going on.
ikr, they didn't even try.
That was my favorite part. We're not making any videos because we're dying, so make sure to turn on notifications for the videos we will never make (cause we'll be dead and all). Between that and the kid on the left trying not to laugh the whole time I'd assume their audience must be very young to have fallen for it, which makes it even worse.
40:32 not going to lie , I paused to see what they checked off and I’m stunned at this tomfoolery 🤣 I even looked to see if they checked off the same things , talking about the pain is a 10/10 🫠 gfto 😂😂
I will never stop laughing at the giant-ass King Tut sarcophagus looming in the background of Jaystation's "tearful" video
I was 100% expecting her to pop out of it pretending she had pranked him
Just reading your comment made me start laughing about that same thing, to be honest
I'm still baffled that even a single person was stupid enough to fall for Jay's horribly acted car crash video...
He's laughing in the videos.
He didn't even care enough about doing it over WITHOUT him laughing.
This video is trash for even buying into
I was/am living under a rock so luckily I didn't know who tf this asshole was until recently.
Fucking Thank You!
HE NAME DROPED A NEW CHANNEL WITH A SPECIFIC GOAL OF SUBS TO ACHIEVE. If this is not a red flag I do NOT know what is...
Most of them are probably children or at least pretty young. But yeah, still hard to believe a single not-super-gullible person believed him at all. It's so obviously fake by his expressions and mannerisms.
I don’t think anyone over the age of 12 believed anything in any of his videos, but maybe I’m just naive 😅
“we got matching rings”
*shows two different rings with different styles, band widths, and metals* 😂
I actually bursted out in laughter when he tried to contact his 'dead' girlfriend. Say what you want, but there is a level of art to it all.
Bro was screaming at the camera 😭
i really wish the ouji bit continued, and after crying or w/e when it 'said' "you," he put his hand back on and it spelled out "tube"
I lost someone close to me last month. She took her own life. These stories are infuriating because of just how terrible loss is. It changes you. I miss her every single day. I don't say this for sympathy, just to express my distaste for those who would abuse loss for views.

@Sally Philpin Thank you. The hardest part was realizing that it's not a dream and that she wasn't just stuck in there, it was real. Death is not a joke especially when it comes to someone you can't imagine life without.
Because work is hard. And scamming people is easy.
I'm sorry to hear about your mother mate, I wish nothing short of the best for you and your family, and a steady recovery through your grief.
@Kylo B Thank you so much. You're all so kind and I appreciate that makes me realize there are still good folks on the internet that just wanna bring people up.
As someone who faked his death at the age of 11 to get out of writing a fanfiction on Wattpad, this video makes me want to go back to that old account and clear the air. Luckily, nobody seemed to believe me, which is good because I lost the email and password for that account.
I remember considering a few times faking my own death just to get out of online bullshit too when i was at that age. Just one of those things kids don’t think too much about, lol. Death at that age is already just one of those things that don’t really seem that real to you unless you’ve actually experienced it.
I would honestly go back to that account on a newer one just to clear the air and be honest, but, ive also thought about it around that age too
though it might just be the depression

As an addendum to the Sketchek story:
Sketchek's back in content creation, under the name Sonny Brisko, a v-tuber. People pieced the similarities together and doubt isn't really allowed. Sonny is an Australian guy expatriated to Japan. Just like Sketchek. Their voices are extremely similar (not to say the exact same). And during a collaboration event where v-tubers of his agency, Sonny played. The game? TF2. Sonny's character? Pyro. And his movement/playstyle was the same as Sketchek, using the same weapon and everything. And even if he tried to hide it, when you spend 8000+ hours on a game, it will show. At this point, it's painfully obvious that Sonny Brisko and Sketchek are one and the same.
Their voices are literally the exact same, just listen to a newer sonny vod or sth and you'll hear it. Debut era sonny was cutefying his voice because of nerves that's why they didn't sound that similar at first. Nowadays he just speaks in his natural voice so it's pretty easy to tell. Also he plays tf2 from time to time whether it's in his IDK streams or membership streams, and he said tf2 is his comfort game so there's that too🥺
@@hikarupi I don't know how I feel about this to be honest. I don't wish bad things to happen to him at all, but the fact he managed to recover so easily from faking his own death... doesn't sit right with me. I don't like the fact he suffered no consequences from playing with people's emotions.
@@TonyKazoku I mean I understand your feelings but this whole thing happened in 2015 yet people still make videos about it so I don't think he didn't suffer any consequences at all. He's very very loved by his family(he himself always talks about them), friends, co-workers and fans, All of his co-workers who have met him irl said that he's the sweetest and the most chill so I'm pretty sure he's a much better person now. Tho personally I don't think he was ever bad, he made a mistake, apologized, and even though he was in a very bad mental state when he faked his death he didn't talk about it or use it as an execuse. I think that's very admirable. Even now, whenever he makes a mistake he immediately apologizes.
@@TonyKazoku He used a dead ringer
Oh damn, I watched Sonny awhile when he debuted and have seen couple videos about Sketcheck but didn't put them together at all. Well I'm glad he seems to be doing better now. Obviously not a cool thing to do put it was a long time ago and I don't know how old he was at the time but he has probably grown a lot since. I guess that's kinda the beauty of v-tubing that you can sort of start again and even though people can figure out the previous online present of the v-tubers there is a bit of separation to that making it easier to make new content.
28:48 You could translate that as "vomit" (I wouldn't), but it's also interestingly understood as "confession" and "the sound of a frog croaking; ribbit"
can you actually translate "gero" as vomit? id assume theres probably a kanji for that that youd use instead right?
@@sticklyboi Colloquially speaking, yes you could. If simply written with no context, it could equally be vomit, ribbit, or "spilling your guts" (confession), because all three are written in kana. For these expressions (onomatopoeias), there aren't really any kanji, the context is what tells you the meaning. It's really interpretive, he could be juxtaposing each meaning intentionally, or just frog sound. With the code being written the way it is, to me it reads like imitating a frog, and not vomit (verb or noun).
I've said it before. Alexia can sit and claim she didn't know he was going to do that video but she made no effort to come out and tell the truth for the longest time. the only time she spoke out and exposed it was when she had nothing to gain because she went seperate ways from him... before that though she was more than happy to hide away and keep the illusion..

Flaw means "Imperfection"
Does the we you mention have another connotation? I'm a dusty old millennial and don't keep up with the slang
He talks like an NPC with no emotion or genuinity
HES A PHONY A BIG FAT PHONY
Seeing Cody Ko's reaction to Jay Station's matching "promise rings" was pure gold 😂
rlly sucks that sketch had to fake his death for this type of stuff, like his fans were definitely very glad and relieved to see him alive but you cant take back the genuine grief the community had. It would’ve been such a sick ARG if he hadnt stooped so low.
He could've replaced the whole being dead thing with "I'm going to take a long break, don't expect me to be back so soon at all." And *then* he'd do the whole ARG thing as is. It would've been legendary.
It was never big enough to get mainstream attraction, but a Spyro speedrunner named Jeremythompson faked his own suicide a few years ago. It blew up so much he got a tribute at GDQ. Nowadays he just streams the same old thing like it never happened. Real piece of work.
Maybe wavywebsurf should make a part 2, and he should add this story.
Jesus Christ
Sounds like a great guy. Some of these RUclipsrs dude I swear🤦🏽♂️
„something I need to get of my chest that’s been KILLING me” what a perfect choice of words after faking his death.
It’s so bizarre that channels like Jaystation were mainly watched/supported by small children watching the dumbest possible content because everyone is shouting and hyper
why is it bizarre? i'd say it's to be expected
@@shieldbug idk really.. maybe it’s just weird to imagine myself doing it so I look at them and think “wtf” ..it’s all so needless
@@Madkalibyr hes kinda funny sometimes . I was dying of laughter for hours with my friends once cause we played his gay potion video during a silent time in class.
loud = funny
And some of them don't even get past the point of finding it appealing. I work with a kid whose about to turn twenty and anytime he bothers to be social he goes on about how great content like this is, how he thinks it's the best thing on the internet. I swear he's the embodiment of every negative stereotype about the younger generation; a shame because I've met plenty of people in that age group who are well rounded and intelligent.
Dude really said "I get a little dizzy sometimes, I guess I'm dying" when every time I stand just a little too fast my entire vision factory resets lol. Guess I have to go to a chiropractor
The Vandals put out a song years ago about a dude that was embarrassed that his girlfriend broke up with him, so he just told everyone that she was dead. It's a toe-tapper.
My Girlfriend’s Dead. It’s a banger. Train straight-up ripped it off for a shitty song they did years later.
i say it's leukemia, or sometimes bulimia, or a great big truck ran her over; and chopped off her headddd.
long live the vandals
@@galleryofrogues Yes! The Vandals were putting out some killer shit in the 90s
True story
I've always had a small impression that Sketchek only went through with the ARG and apology video because he slipped up and got caught playing TF2 on an account that was supposed to be dead.
as someone with pretty bad vertigo, it’s not gonna kill you, does it make things miserable yes but it’s manageable on bad days and noticeable on good days. honestly i feel like he just went with an uncommon condition and figured no one would know about it.
Did JayStation confuse the Greater Toronto Area with the GTA game? You can absolutely be arrested in your home with a warrant in Toronto. It's called an arrest warrant...
fr I thought the same thing I was like maybe Canada just has really weird laws🤣🤣🤣
The sketchek situation is one that really concerns me and makes me think what other RUclipsrs have tried this. And not just RUclipsrs, famous people in general. Its crazy
"Famous people" YEP HES FAMOUS NOW. He's Sonny Brisko from Nijisanji!
I’m not sure what’s so concerning. If people want to fake their death who are we to say not to?
@@p1nkfreud its just crazy having that big of a fan base to just fake your death then come back like nothing happened
@@lucasburdenofficial I agree that it’s wild and very out there not to mention probably not ethically correct from any angle, but it’s not CONCERNING, is what I meant.
Streamers don’t owe us anything
@lucasburden2 parasociality is a big problem, "faking your death" should not be concerning
"We're quitting RUclips but please subscribe"
This makes a lot of sense, clearly nothing suspicious here
Alexia is as guilty as Jay for making out such a lie and then she tried to play the victim... Dreadful people desperate to be famous.
because the female always gets off easier in most situations involving a guy and a female
@@Tuelz...I think it's more that by that point Jay was already heavily disliked by the RUclips community so he overshadowed her
Yeah, I didn't think about that.
I mean... there was also proof of domestic abuse against her. So I think that's the reason she's a victim.
@@CosmicCherry1 and he was the channel. He was in charge of the content. His fault is greater but she helped.
You've been doing it for a while but I am absolutely in love with your new content. Old stuff was good, this stuff is great. Keep blessing us
wtf is that username tho
I came here looking for the:"Don't you do that?." TubeLube is going to slide down da hole.
@@cryfi7790 wtf is that pic anime mcdonalds man
Kinda miss the shorter videos... lots of recycled content here
@@ryanc9432 i miss the short form as well, but I definetly prefer his current form
I got that GameStop ad with the funeral and the kid saying “why doesn’t she just… respawn?” during the Sketchek segment lmfao, that timing!
We received a phone call that my loved one had been smashed into by a driver and was laying in the road. We didn’t know if he would survive. Words can’t express what that call is like or what it’s like to see your loved one smashed to pieces, swollen, in a coma and in intensive care. We were lucky and he survived. So many people aren’t as lucky. There are no words for how sick this is
Tommy and Johnny's video kinda pissed me off extra. I'm physically disabled. I have multiple physical disabilities, including EDS, fibromyalgia, a TBI, POTS, severe asthma, and more. I literally am trapped in my body every day, but its not anything that could get better, and only if something happened would they get significantly worse. I have no cure. Some have treatments, but theyre more like managements than cures. I would kill to be able to just get better. Even to get rid of some of them. I hope everyone who does something like this actually has to deal with something like what they fake. They're part of the reason almost every disabled person online gets fake claimed.
I have EDS too. Faking it doesn't mean someone deserves to have this. No one deserves that. Maybe, like, Hitler or something, but not for just doing something wrong like fraud that doesn't physically hurt people.
@@SpecialBlanket the problem is, whether they realize it or no, they do hurt people. Not always directly. People have their ableism reinforced by people pulling that stuff. They make people think almost everyone they see is faking it for some reason. Thats caused both mental distress and actual, physical harm before, and it will continue to. It is one thing when its something like the second guy who didnt do it for more attention and crap like that, whatever, its dumb but it at least doesn't intend to do something actually bad. But these two? Honestly just sick.
People fake it and it results in actually disabled people getting fake claimed. I hate it. Like I'll see cutesy things made by Neurodivergent people for neurodivergent people and neurotypicals will call it ableist. And on the physical side of things, I also have EDS but I'm not gonna tell people irl because they won't know it and will likely call me lazy when I can't do much due to the chronic pain I got through it (and maybe something else in there, I dunno.)
Fellow EDS'er over here! Shout out to all of us who are hyper-bendy.
@@jessiczar387 Hyper-bendy and suffering because 11 year old me was a dumbass who thought it'd be cool to show off the bendy.
The jaystation one cuts harder than most to me. My best friend was actually killed in an motor vehicle accident with a head on collision. So him faking that shit is disgusting.
No,it's just disgusting either way
Jagged, all three of them faked it, not just Jay, Einstein. His buddy and Alexia all had agreed to it. L0sers like you just blame one man, when it was all three of them that did it.
Lul that makes it funnier than most to me
I'm glad Jay's career went out with a whimper very poetic when you come to think of it
Very fitting.
As someone from latinoamerica hearing the name Yao Cabrera in 2023 is like getting hit by a truck and a bucket of ice at the same time. I swear he was such a meme in the LATAM online community back in the day, you would not stop hearing his name and then all of the sudden no one remembered him. Wild stuff--
I love how you can keep the most wholesome of smiles going while talking about people who do some crazy ass shit. I love it.
i wanted to say i think youve done a great example of incorporating youtube trends like longer videos and true crime into your content without it feeling inauthentic or cash crabby, it feels like youre genuinely interested and do thorough research
Ehhh it’s 50/50
@@FreeTheMasses ehhh 🤓
This video was unwatchable. Not because of you, Wavywebsurfer, you're great. All of these terrible liars and their even worse acting is just too much. Kudos to you for being able to research, compile, and edit all of this
That's the worst part about it. It's so obviously fake, and terribly acted it's mind-boggling who even falls for this shit.
Then I remember that it's mostly those braindead gen Zs and notice how much they ruined youtube and social media in general by having everyone pander to them and trying to fleece them.
I feel you, sir. Though I'm still watching it, I'm cringing so much that I pause the video in intervals so I can swallow it.
I watched this while playing my favourite game ever (Sonic Unleashed), so I could stomach it
I almost had to click off the video because of Jaystation's horrendous acting. That sorry excuse for a man is the personification of ditch water.
sketchek is weird just weird.
The thing is, Sketchek's conspiracy looks like it was such a cool thing to get into, and it could've just been a blast for his fans to decipher.
But he had to taint it by faking his death.
If Sketchek only hadn't done the fake death thing, that entire conspiracy would have been something to really look up to in internet legend.
Jaystation reminds me of what normal people think RUclipsrs are like
True af
He's such an overexaggerated parody of himself, he reminds me of if they did a RUclipsr character in like a GTA game or something
@@j-skullz or in south park
They're not wrong
God just the delivery that Jay and Alexia have in those videos is just ... So grating on the soul 😂
Every time I watch that video where he announced her death, I'm always kind of surprised any one believed it. Dude is not a good actor and plugs that Dream Team channel of is throughout the video with the subtlety of a chainsaw.
@@bigbearkat2010 not to mention he literally smiles the whole way thru. That's a big indicator someone's lying lol
My dad is actually dying of cancer and my brother almost died of cancer at 18 years old so honestly, if I knew someone faking a terminal illness, I would happily spit in each of their eyes over and over again until my spit had blinded them.
A wavywebsurf video? 54 minutes?
Well, I know what I'm doing tonight!
Me until the video is done, then it's back to sifting through horrible recommendations from the RUclips algorithm
I'm taking massive rips while cruising around the mountains listening to this
I have a small bag of Cheez-Its and no work tomorrow. This video just made it even better.
@@yasminemobley7858 gosh damn I love cheezits
I am always suspicious of people who record every aspect of their lives and share it on social media, like these guys. It's incredibly off-putting, and I am not surprised they would go to such lengths just for attention. I would love to read their psych evals if they ever got them. 😂
Ya never understood it either. Either clout chasing, narcissist or grifters.
I think they're so insecure that they need to seek validation for anything.
Took out the garbage? Need to say they did a good job. Flushed the toilet? Need to say good job.
Plus a bit of narcissism. They think they are so important and anything they do is noteworthy.
But I'm not a psychologist, I just took 4 psych classes in college.
It is no doubt interesting.
@@tigerwoods373 also coupled with the fact that there is a potential monetary gain for doing so!
@@phillipbailey2525 Tbh, if I was getting paid just to complain about taking the bin out to the road, best believe every Tuesday there'd be a new upload of me bitching about it. (And laughing internally at all the idiots that actually watch it)
Yeah, I'm not a fan of them either. They're so fake that it makes me cringe every time when they act like they're so important and live such an amazing life when it's all just an act.
Even tho I know like 70% of the RUclips/internet lore, I always enjoy watching wavywebsurf vids bc he just puts it in such a way that I feel like anybody can understand 😌
70% lore is crazy
how much time do you spend on your computer, go outside, seriously.
This channel is mad underrated
After being on the internet for over a decade I've learned that there is always more lore to learn. We'll never reach the bottom of that iceberg.
only new story I heard was the last one. never heard of that guy.
I know this is serious, but I died when JayStation said “My girlfriend just passed away in a tragic accident, I miss her so much!” In a very enthusiastic voice 😂😂😂😂😂😂
My IQ lowered by several points and my already low faith in humanity dropped to nearly 0 after watching this whole video. But Wavy always makes this shit so palatable! God bless your dedication to putting this together, I would go insane going down these rabbit holes! I'm bracing myself for the next!
😂
Tommy and Johnny using their religion as a means of justifying their scummy actions really makes it obvious why so many people are critical of religion.
As a man of faith myself, I refer you to Mark 13 and/or Matthew 24, and Luke 18.
Faithful people despise “religion” because people use it as a form of clout-seeking. Yet God forgave the tax collector who begged for forgiveness silently, not the Pharisee who proclaimed in front of an audience of onlooking fans how good of a servant he was to God.
The brothers are just like that Pharisee, imo. They are clout-seeking leeches. I wish they’d keep Jesus Christ’s name out of their mouths.
I was looking in the comments to see if extremegamez was on here (because the bookmark is tommy and johnny) and I was about to blow a gasket if they weren't on here lmfao.
At least when his career dies, he can summon it at 3AM and communicate with it
Comments like this are the definition of art.
bold to call what he does a career
Another thing that should've been mentioned in the Sketchek segment is that the tribute weapon that the Team Fortress 2 developers made for him was removed because of his, for lack of better words, scandal.
I, too, exclaim a very RUclips monetizably friendly "what the frigg!" when I'm "like totally freaked out right now." That's a thing everyone does. Humans.
Your impersonation of that dude getting fake shot had me in stitches. It’s been a shit day, I needed that. Thanks Wavy.
Plus, the way he says it breaks me. "You know, he's just like, getting FUCKED UP, and then like "We gotta redo it, we gotta" "AAAAH" You know, just like, something like that."
Oh boy i wonder who’s gonna be on here!
Its mr. trollface
Not my bro jaystation, he would NEVER do something like that 👀
@@jerrydragonfire4646 you sure about that?💀
Jesus did the same thing
N3on
I was worried I wasn’t a good actor. Then I saw those jaystation videos. Not worried anymore. Thanks Jay
“You know how painful it is? To be locked inside your own body?”
YEAH, I DO!😂
Everyone is locked inside their own body lol
As a legitimate Christian, the fact that the brothers kept bringing up Jesus makes me so mad. They're not actually Christains. They're claiming to be in order to seem more trustworthy. It makes us real Christians look bad. Someone who actually has Jesus in their heart would never do what they did.
That’s what most people do claim to be something and people overlook it
Now _that’s_ using the Lord’s name in vain!
I was thinking that myself, I recently found the beauty of the Lord and to hear them say what they did... makes you realise why so many people are reluctant to convert.
Watch them become MLM grifters if they aren't already.
Idk about that, some might say Jesus faked his death just for the clout he gained from the resurrection.
I like how Tommy and Johnny said they're making a final video about their health condition and they could die yet they want people to still subscribe to their channel for an iPhone 😂😂
Really fascinating video! Great RUclips history along with the truth behind shocking idiots. You have a fantastic narration style and I am so glad to have come across your channel. Looking forward to much more entertaining and intelligent binge watching lol!
Tommy and Johnny first saying that that was their last video and then telling people to subscribe and activate the bell, it's just poetic. I think they might be sharing in 2 a single brain cell
That's one more then the dips that did it
The Queensway is also a highway in Ottawa which is why SOG contacted Ottawa police as well in case anyone was confused by that bit.
The fact that Jay Station not only lied about her dying, but ALSO SET UP A FAKE MEMORIAL and went there really bothers me. It's the exact reason I have no remorse for anything that happens to his career or his channel.
The Sam and Colby kidnap/murder prank was the most insane thing I think I've seen like these cases. Also- Markiplier might as well have a personalized hospital room how much he goes but that's just because he likes to test his limits 😈🤙 and he doesn't dramatize it, he'd be the kind to break his spine and say," don't worry about it"💀
The most surprising part of this entire video to me is that there was a single soul that took that first breakdown seriously while he plugs other channels and asks for a million subscribers
Can I suggest maybe doing a video on content creators who have been accused of crimes they didn’t commit? Like grooming claims/murder/scamming belters. There’s just so many!
Also love you sis much which is why I would love to see you cover these! ❤
Please shout me if this happens bahah
Didn't Tommy and Johnny also get in trouble for not actually having prizes for people?
I was kind of wondering this, because just liking/subscribing and turning on notifications sounds like an incredibly broad thing to have do in order to enter a contest. Like would they just choose someone randomly after being notified of their subscription or would they sift through thousands of notifications and just pick someone who did all 3? Does YT even notify you of someone turning on notifications for your channel? It just sounds like a weird way to do a giveaway although I really don't know, I don't watch any channels that do that kind of thing.
@@grizzlywhiskeryou actually can see who has notifications turned on and a timeline of your subscribers in your content creator dashboard, or at least used to be able to do so
A RUclipsr faking a terminal illness is absolutely disgusting and this is coming from somebody who is currently grieving a RUclipsr I looked up to for many many years who is literally dying of pancreatic cancer as we speak!
Wavy, you been on a roll with the uploads brother! Appreciate all your hard work
The amount of fun you have at 52:48 is warming to the soul! Glad you enjoy what you do, you're great at it! Thanks for teaching me the word "chicanery" and keep it up!
You do solid work. It is like taking a bus tour through the lifecycle of RUclips stardom. Thank you!
You know, this is now my favorite " listen to while playing games" channel
Jay never lost sight of who he was, he only put his true self on display for the world and they called him out.
This is beyond disgusting and disappointing as someone who who has gone thru the pain of loosing my brother to murder in July 2021 and the perpetrator getting away with stabbing my brother to death in Portland Oregon I've been thru so much heartbreak and sorrow I absolutely can't believe someone would go this far and to pretend a loved one has died while gaining views and exploiting it while there's true people out there like me having to deal with death every day to the point you can't even think or eat right I literally don't go a day wishing I could hug my brother one more time or to be able to bring him back :'( .. just for people like jaystation to profit off of a fake death is disturbing and wrong! I hope he loses his youtube accounts for the many people he has mocked and hurt with this "stunt".
I feel your pain. I also lost someone close to me to murder. Its not a pain you get over but something you learn to live with. Fuck these people.
I hope peace comes to you soon🕉️ik you will see it through🙏🏽
No you didn't.
Yes I did look up Tyson morlock in Portland Oregon he was homeless and wouldn't accept help even though I tried for years but his addiction got the better of him. I miss him everyday my youtube name is what I called him as a inside joke "boo" he fought with a guy he knew that had a huge machete on him and my brother grabbed a tent pole that couldn't hurt anyone and so the guy stabbed my brother in the ribs thru his lungs and he bled to death in the hospital I went to where he was stabbed and it was truly devastating! But my brother never even touched the guy who stabbed my brother yet the police believe it was self defense so the murderer got away with it even though he was trained in the military how to fight and dearm anyone but it my mind he killed my brother who never touched him at all ever with anything never even swung the flimsy tent pole at the guy yet the guy was able to stab him in the chest with a machete and have it be self defense but he's a murderer who should of been prosecuted!
@@aarons6935 you're so immature check the facts before you claim to know something you don't.
I remember watching a video where Mutahar calls the Ontario police regarding Jaystation's girlfriend's "death" and has been confirmed that she never died.
It's litteraly in this video
If it wasn't for Mutahar, things wouldn't went differently
