|Race=Human(?)(!)(?)}}{{Quote|I gotta go! |Jerma}}'''Jerma985 (2ndJerma on YouTube)''', real name Jeremy Elbertson''' '''(also goes by "Frank Ugly") is a compact Twitch streamer, YouTuber, voice actor, professional wrestler, and world record holder for smallest man and poop gamer known for his eccentric personality, sense of humor, overall friendliness, and his ego-fueled tirades about bathroom tiles.

Jerma has ''never ''spoken using his real voice. Fans theorize that his real voice is a supernatural weapon of some kind where upon hearing it, you are immediately transported to a realm of existence that is incomprehensible by the human mind. A realm where you are driven to insanity by immense, Lovecraftian horrors and an infinitely expanding pit of enveloping darkness.

Jerma currently lives in an undisclosed location, as he has successfully evaded federal surveillance teams via an elaborate catalog of illusions, prerecorded streams, Jerma lookalikes, and holograms. These searches were conducted as part of a global effort to put an end to his murder streak. If you see this man, notify your local authorities immediately and leave the area quickly and discreetly.

After a [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9OC2ToZIQ0 Yearly Channel Doctor's Appointment], Jerma gravitated away from YouTube and hasn't made a video on his main channel since, stating that the channel is now an archive and now focusing instead on live streams. His second channel, [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL7DDQWP6x7wy0O6L5ZIgxg 2ndJerma], is home to hundreds of stream highlight videos edited largely by [[Holy Mackerel the Third]] and Bellusdaisy.

==History==
===Personal life===
Jeremy was born with an extra set of hands on September 22nd, 1985, and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. He had a pretty thick Boston accent back in the day. One of his childhood friends is Matt ([[Burgah Boy]]). He was a gamer from a young age, even winning a local Blockbuster Championship by beating everyone else in a SNES game when he was 10 years old.

Jerma went to college and majored in communications, and claims that it was a struggle to do so. His GPA was 2.6. During college, he once ate an entire sleeve of Oreos and threw up in his mother's bed.

After that, he had a bunch of odd-jobs such as working at a call center, filming weddings, and being a substitute teacher at a middle school. He also worked at olive garden and groupon.

==Jermaverse history==
===Quick (serious) Summary===
Jeremy Elbertson was a YouTuber from 2011 (Jerma985) to 2016, and Twitch streamer from 2016 onwards. Before his Twitch life, he was known mostly for his funny YouTube videos. He would irregularly upload comedy videos. These videos, he would make various bits and jokes involving ♥♥♥♥♥♥ games, ''TF2'' and other multiplayer games with friends or alone. The humor would usually come from watching him break games, be bad at them, or create funny situations a la sitcom comedy. Then also, he would perform live-action bits (which would become his channel's trademark) with elaborate production, special effects, editing, and definitely hours of effort!

But then, in 2016 he made the switch to Twitch streaming, probably because of the much improved sustained revenue from streaming, as he had begun creating content as a full-time job that year.

Now he is known for playing various requested games by Twitch chat and making pranks, jokes, impersonations and in general the extensive back and forth he has with the audience, which also results in bits. His elaborate bits and events featuring literal, chat memes as wrestlers or joke streams are also a point of popularity to Jeremy's new Twitch and YouTube Presence.

By many, he is considered an extremely friendly, eccentric guy. Many memes are made of him, often in good faith.

==YouTube (Jerma985) era==
[[File:Old Jerma985 Channel.png|thumb|220x220px|Jerma's 2011 Youtube channel.]]
The first video on his YouTube channel, aptly titled ''[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NTuflw3nrM TF2 - Spy: Goldrush (First Commentary)]'', featured Jerma playing ''TF2'' as the Spy and introducing himself to YouTube. After support from people encouraging him to continue, he created the Jermaverse with the video "[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TStvBbG--M Grandpa plays Insaniquarium]," which introduced the first Jerma character of all time: [[Grandpa]].

[[File:Good Jerma.jpg|thumb|220x220px|An earlier Jerma, back when he was good, righteous, and innocent.]]
Playing random games, mostly ''Team Fortress 2'', and doing live commentaries, Jerma's presence began to grow. At 500 subscribers, he [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKvjuWIM75A did a couple of bicep curls], and at 2000 subscribers he [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUOXNzobI_c dressed up as the Scout] and threw cakes at Burgah Boy.

Jerma eventually met and began collaborating with other YouTubers such as [[Shibby|Shibby2142]], [[MLC_St3alth]], [[Boo]], [[Etalyx]], and eventually [[Ster]]. Jerma and Ster's friendship is a classic bromance, inspiring many fanfics in our beloved internet ''(*Take note that reading them will be at your own risk, and Jerma Lore Wiki accepts no liability for any psychological trauma incurred).'' Jerma collaborates with a few of these people to this day.

During the 'tuber era, Jerma was primarly known as a TFtuber, and the big buddy of Ster (going by "Star_" at the time). Ster and Jerma were two of the biggest TFtubers during Valve's peak support of TF2 in the early to mid-2010's, and possibly the most impactful 'tubers of the whole TF2 community to this day. Ster was the cool "awesome sauce" one and Jerma was the Joker. Although they were both making content besides TF2 throughout this time, such as Jerma's ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game showcases and Ster's "Basically" series, their TF2 content was always the most popular and what they were most known for. During the later "[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LzKPfMcIvA What happened to the old STAR_?]"

The Jermaverse was created when Grandpa owed $6000 to each member of Jerma's audience for losing a bet by failing to be "MLG." Jerma decided to create the Jermaverse after a clairvoyant ster foresaw his fate of being hit in the face in the shower, which Jerma did not avoid.

Jerma was partnered with Machinima around 2012. He has recently said that it wasn't a great experience.

Jerma proceeded to create an underground fighting tournament called ''Super Sma''— [[Jerma Rumble|Jerma Rumble!]] after being taught by Danny Trejo how to fight. In this tournament, he pits his own characters against each other for his amusement. Jerma Rumble was later followed by two sequels and a spin-off known as Jermania 2014, and numerous stream rumbles.

On July 8th, 2014, Jerma said he was volunteering at an animal shelter, because of his love for animals and his urge to help those in need.

On September 30th, 2014, Jerma uploaded a [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkcH2YxhR
