"My grandma stole my boyfriend." You're telling me they didn't just take that from a my story animated vid title?

HI JARVIS. Actor here! Sooooo, it's crazy that you're talking about these because there are casting calls for these ALL over this one casting website and there are so many more. Like, wide range of subjects. I literally know the casting director's name because they come up so much. I auditioned for one where I was like a witch or something AND my boyfriend had an audition and callback for the guy who hooked up with "Joy's" grandma. The actors are asked to delete their TikTok accounts too if they get the gig, so that this is their only presence and they can keep up the charade. Super wild to see what they actually end up becoming and that you are actually covering these!!

What I learned is that Jarvis is a billionaire.

I live for the Jarvis Johnson! GOLD "GOOOOLD" sound effect

that relatable moment when your grandma sleeps with your boyfriend 😔✊

I love that the guy says Joy is the daughter of the top 200 billionaires like they’re all her collective father.

Kobe beef can only be called Kobe beef if it’s from the Kobe region, otherwise it’s sparkling wagyu

This has the two things I hate the most in bad acting: Earnest Female Protagonist Voice and fake white guy bashful smiling.

Man. Observing tiktok from the outside is really fascinating. Every user has a different really fucked up thing they wanna tell me about. I am perturbed

This is a prime example of "it could be cool and funny if you have the right people." There's a tik tok of this guy pretending to be the personal assistant of a supervillian and its hilarious because there's a funny premise, punchy writing and good acting. When you come at it with not even a good concept (billionaire assistant? That's not even funny to imagine) it flops and becomes uncomfortable and bad. If you want to create a fictional personality, make it entertaining and funny! Not just these weird fake feuds and no substance.

Jarvis's second channel is sponsored??? Truly premium content to be accepted and realized for its greatness

I miss the days of LonelyGirl15 when at least we got some crazy cult trying to drain people's blood, instead we get grandma's sleeping with a teenager.

Honeslty, I'm just happy they outright say its fictional instead of trying pass it off as real for the clout. They're just kinda doing it for the fun of it. It's oddly refreshing lmao

Disappointed that nobody has called this genre ‘Fic-tok’

Alternate titles: “Tik tok has gotten out of hand”. “the internet has gotten out of hand” or “Everyone has lost their damn minds help me jarvis im scared”

2:40 I actually think he's got a point with that distinction. Like... To me, fictional implies you're just here to have fun and play pretend and you don't expect people to believe it. While fake implies that you're actually trying to make people believe the thing you're doing is real.

This is like if those Lily's Garden ads made a Tik Tok account staring real people haha

I want to know why and how Jarvis knew that bit of meat trivia off the top of his head.

Now this is an authentic story all about how My fictional life got flipped turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the fictional prince of an authentic town called Bel-Air

For me this is the hardest thing about getting into a relationship, no matter who i ask out my grandma keeps sleeping with them

Time once again for a ✨PREMIUM EXPERIENCE ✨

The acting is definitely terrible, but weirdly I'm very drawn in by this and now I want to know what happens...

i'm like 90% sure this is some kind of an ARG, like pretty sure this'll eventually take even a weirder and possibly morbid turn lol

"Not to be a beef expert" Ok Jarvis, ok

Daddy’s made us our favorite: ✨PREMIUM CONTENT ✨ Time to open wide…

jarvis had to get waterproof shoes for how much drip he got on this channel. premium drip content

The lore to this seems like it was generated by AI

There's something very interesting about the idea of using a platform like Tiktok to tell a fictional story, and I don't see anything wrong with this, but the stories they've chosen to tell are so... odd? There's some really cool ARGs on TikTok, though.

this feels like a weird ARG that hasn't fully had a chance to get into the meat of this story, especially the using 0's in place of o's, that's gotta mean something... or i'm just thinking way too hard about this.

the cw is taking notes and is gonna turn this into a show

It's definitely not common, obviously, but you'd be surprised what some families have going on behind closed doors. I'm very thankful that I didn't have a boyfriend when I was younger bc my grandmother would have 100% done that (she was on the younger side as far as grandmothers go and extremely toxic and abusive)

Why the hell is her grandma sleeping with her boyfriend when she looks 16? Either that boyfriend is way too old for her or that grandma is a cradle robber!

man and here i was thinking jarvis was dead. he must’ve been resurrected🙏🏻

First sentence on Wikipedia page about Kobe beef is “Kobe beef is Wagyu beef …”

This feels like a non-horror, unsubtansive ARG. Like "My Name is Sophie" but bad.

Back in my day we just used roleplay on Tumblr to get this out of our system, and it's now thankfully lost to the archives, not published on TikTok. This also reminds me a bunch of those imaginary games you'd play at school, like me and my bestie would run around the playground pretending we were in Doctor Who but we were about 7. Our story lines were SO much better than these, but again...glad it wasn't on film!

I feel like the concept of doing a whole story through tiktoks or having a tiktok account as a fictional character is pretty cool actually (like The Lizzie Bennet Diaries did on youtube!). If only any of the writing or acting was... actually good... Also it's clearly written by people who are not actually on tiktok or understand how teenagers/young adults speak at all lmao

So glad to be back on Jarvis Johnson air. Ready for a golden flight

tw // grooming mention this whole thing feels like the tik tok trend a year or two ago with this whole mafia/gangster universe and then the person who started it (i think? he was the 'mafia boss' so i'd assume he started it but honestly don't remember) got exposed for grooming younger people

The zeros instead of os are just to get past tiktok censors, I'd assume. Allegedly certain words showing up regularly in the comments (such as "boost" or "report") can negatively affect a videos place in the algorithm, so people throw in random zeros or slashes to work around it

Next up: fictional Billionaire’s assistant, gets fictionally fired for exposing his bosses fictional kid,

5:10 "Opened up a wormhole" Is this a cross between "opened a can of worms" and "led down a rabbit hole" or did you really mean to say wormhole lol

Okay the only way this ARG can be saved is if Slenderman shows up and starts wrecking shop.

It honestly looks like a new “television” format. You remember those books where you could “choose” the next step in the story. Here you just have to “find” the next step in the story. Basically you have characters like you would on a regular show, however, the viewer needs to piece together the drama themselves and can, in fact, be part of the drama as well. If you look at it from that perspective; it’s an interesting idea.

13:22 just gonna go past the “I want to eat whatermalon”…

What truly makes this channel premium is the exposure to content I was happily unaware of existing now etched into my psyche and scarring me...truly *gold*

"Tik tok fiction" is a term I've never heard before, and I'm scared of learning what it means

I would consider this more “TikTok Roleplaying” than “TikTok Fanfiction” because it isn’t derivative of anything tbh EDIT: my bad, I misread lmao

I love this type of content, where it's Jarvis taking us on a tour through the absurdities of the internet, more lowkey. And I love that Jarvis never takes the piss out of cringe tiktokers just to be mean, unless they're being explicitly harmful.

Is Jarvis GOLD! the fictional authentic Jarvis? Or is the regular Jarvis channel the fictional NOT fake one?

if i make up a fictional billionaire dad, do i get to put my purchases on his fictional credit card?

Something that no one is addressing is how weird it would be for this “real” girl to screen record all her FaceTimes with her grandma, almost as if she knew the conversation would relate to this weird storyline. And I’m pretty sure this “real” boyfriend and grandma would not be cool with their faces and private convos being on TikTok.

“I gotta make it look like I’m gardening, better put on my gloves and aggressively shake this lavender around”

to be honest, i think this is a pretty cool idea. the execution is not great, but i would love to see more of it in the future

"Does anyone know the difference between a house and a living room? We brought in a BILLIONAIRE'S assistant to give us insight"

My favorite line in this whole video was “not to be a beef expert” lmao

Okay but "my dad is not a fictional billionaire" made me laugh out loud xD

wow, I'm just so happy for trixie/joy and her 200 rich fathers

“It’s like a bad Netflix movie” so a Netflix movie?

I have a little bit of experience with this sort of thing from running OC blogs, so I just want to give my two cents. First and foremost though, I just want to clarify I am not defending the whole grandma storyline going on, because frankly, I am tired of seeing content like that being thrown around for shock value. However, the bad acting doesn't really bother me that much. When I used to run OC blogs, the whole point was to take a step away from serious writing. Doing dumb drama and reactions was just more fun, as silly as the final result is. As for the people not realizing it's not real, I can speak on this experience too. You can put it all over your bio and in your tags, but so many people just don't bother to read them. Lots of character blogs, channels, etc. have this problem, and we usually don't correct people because it is extremely hard sometimes to tell if they are just playing along or confused. Not criticizing the video though. It was fun and entertaining as always, just giving my two cents since a lot of people that aren't in these communities tend to misunderstand them a little. Update: Since the situation has been clarified, them being actors and being paid for this is definitely a different story. Still leaving the rest of this comment up though since it gives good insight into the community I discussed and made sense in the context of this video at least. Have a good day all!

I didn't know they made a live action of lily's garden!

I was going to say Jarvis is a billionaire's assistant and that's how he knows the beef semantics. But really we're all billionaires' assistants in this capitalist hellscape called Earth.

"creative writing class gone wrong" and "high school theatre club" truly encapsulate these tiktoks so well, why have you shown me this Jarvis

Jarvis getting involved in the billionaire beef beef

I don't think this is any different from KZfaq's deal with the "My Story" channels that you've reviewed. These are basically content farms where they hire cheap actors to manufacture cheap drama for people who love this sort of terrible soap opera crap. Low production values and high engagement means easy money.

Me reading this as "my grandma stole my hand" and I am like "okay? Sucks to be you I guess"

I appreciate the “GOLD!” In the back ground

Using Jarvis’ sponsor code as an excuse to get a second pair or Vessi shoes. You support the ones you love❤️

Everyone do n0t harrass Jarvis after giving us this free premium content. Even though I have footage of him spilling the hot BEEF tea, does n0t mean he deserves to be BANNED 0r called 0ut.

Jarvis Johnson's content is always gold, premium channel or not.

Aw, bless their cottons, they're doing a fun acting exercise... of her grandma... sleeping with her boyfriend

I'm drinking diet coke while also burning a candle and i went to take a sip of the candle wax on accident

This "you're premium" felt extra real ❤️ I feel very premium now

Even if it's supposed to be satire, they lived long enough to see themselves become a villain.

eh, I'm supportive of independent people using strange mediums to explore storytelling, even when it's bad. they're learning

finally, after so many years, I have found more gold in the mines

"I love a good pop." - Jarvis Johnson, 2021

Teens and kids write the craziest shit. No Boundaries on that imagination, even ones that there maybe should be.

KZfaq recommendations coming in clutch, got recommended it 36 seconds ago

Kurtis would hate the way you're wearing your beanie in this

The final 'don't get him banned I need to figure this out' comment seems like a clear lead-in to discovering her long lost evil twin Trixie.

Wagyu often refers to American Kobe. Real kobe beef is only produced in Japan, and much like real wasabi, it's not exported. Beef that comes from ranches outside Japan, that raise their cows in the same way as Kobe cows, is called Waygu.

I'm pretty sure Jarvis Johnson! GOLD is an AI, and having the exact appearance, sound and name as the human Jarvis Johnson is a complete coincidence.

This is so strange. I almost feel like someone like Night Mind should be covering it, since it's arguably 'unfiction', but most unfiction analysis accounts would likely be just as baffled by this weird love triangle soap thing as the rest of us. Maybe it's about to head into more traditional unfiction horror territory with the implication Joy has a doppelgänger, but I really don't know at this point.

"Not to be a beef expert" Jarvis, your JOB is to be an expert at beef, Yours, Ours, or Others.

Well, I’m thoroughly disturbed. I do love being a Golden Baby though.

The facial expressions and delivery "Joy" makes in that first tiktok reminds me of my high school drama class. You can see the subtext beats written in her script right on her face.

they’re playing the infamous improv game of “no, but”

actually the difference between millionaires and billionaires is that when capitalism collapses millionaires might survive if they agree the give up their exorbitant wealth. billionaires are going straight to the chopping block tho

I kind of love that people can be creative and use all these different platforms for storytelling. I remember people using video games to create YT and Tumblr stories a decade ago. But also… What did I just see?? It’s like what would happen if people could interact with their day time soap operas.

Jarvis is a billionaire, he knows his beef

jarvis, you're telling me I'm watching this for free???? what a steal 😀

Butlerdarren, is he the budget version of Alfred? Ahhh, I see why he’s on TikTok now.

800 bucks in her bank account makes her broke? It's the 4th of the month and I have like 100 bucks left for the month, what does that make me 😂🙈

I actually do know a butler. He butlers for different mega rich families, when they are in our country. He makes a very good living from it and travels all over our country for free.

me who doesn’t know anything about beef, listening to jarvis talk about beef: wow he’s so smart

Just wanna say, I've noticed there's human written captions on your videos, and I appreciate it. I'm not sure if it's you writing them, or an editor, ect. Regardless, it's awesome. KZfaq's generated captions are not super accurate, and just generally unpleasant. Typing captions are a hassle and a half, but it means the world to those who need it.

Jarvis, how did you miss "Fic-Tok"? The pun was right there!

The “drunk” scene Feels like found footage horror

This is actually a case of meta meta-humour, in which the joke is that you're the joke. You're the joke. You always have been.
