The Long Drive - Jerma Animatic 

Jerma’s performance as the dad really becomes so much more unhinged when there’s an actual child there

reminder that in this, "son" is technically just a barrel of gasoline

The dad going "you got it! thats my son!" to the kid guessing the wrong thing was weirdly wholesome.

The son's eyes lighting up when jerma acts proud of him is unreasonably emotional, please help me stop caring so much about drawings. Please I don't want to be, for example, on a road trip with only a barrel of gasoline and slowly losing my mind.

"Here, have some GYASoline"

I would love to watch an entire movie based around this premise, of an unhinged dad and his son surviving a quiet apocalypse, driving to a never-explained destination in a worn car filled with supplies and gasoline. It ends with the dad finally tracking down the ruins of the crashed UFO, looking back to tell his son about the amazing discovery, only to see his son was never there, zoom out to desert wasteland, fade to black.

Stuff like this always gives me hope for Jerma fans. Actually animating Jerma's bits and not making him seem like the crazed narrator of his insanity are the coolest kind of Jerma animations.

oh my god the little foot wag after he got it right is adorable

The radio playing in the background is the best. Having those voices say "Ich muss ganz dringend Pipi machen" (I have to take a pee really badly ) whilst Jerma is just roleplaying two people at the same time is an experience on its own. The animation is another. Great job.

absolute fucking psycho father, gaslighting his kid AND giving him gasoline.... absolutely abhorrent. this is awesome though! really captured the essence of both characters! :-D

This german radio is absolutely making this 100x more hilarious

I love it! proud little kid Jerma after guessing the sky is the best

00:47 when the son is just smiling and wiggling his feet, so wholesome.

Jerma is a genuinely good actor, the fact he can juggle 2 characters at once and still make it sound (semi) natural, and how he just makes shit up on the spot too is all super impressive

He's such a good actor that I started feeling bad for the kid

I don't know if you purposely made him Green because it sounds like his Mr. Green character but this is wonderful.

this is so good!!!! losing it at him twisting his head around lmao

It’s really nice that Mr. Green spent some quality time with his son

I absolutely adore kid Jeremy, he's so cute and chunky looking just like a real boy! Very well done.

This art style is so good. Great animation

he sees a ufo out of no where and still stays in character

Great content. I'm a Jerma animatic/animation addict I just can't get enough of this stuff, his humor is so perfect for animation since it's a lot of hypotheticals and sound effects which leaves a ton of room for the animators to be creative.

I got some serious Stan and Dipper vibes from Gravity Falls from this animation. Good work!

I love that jerma is so small that he has to sit in the very edge of the seat. Compact streamer

I like to imagine this as a legitimate horror movie you could see in theaters: a man dealing with the PTSD of losing his son, while being off his psych meds and high on gasoline

This bit already had me breathless but your art added just enough unnerving to have me practically cry laughing. I love it!

The German radio station really ties the insanity together well

This is so amazing and perfectly captures the insanity of this bit!

The whole video was great but the Beetlejuice moment in particular made me bust a gut. Great job.

The fact that this reminds me of my childhood is very troubling

I love the way the dad's glasses are animated -- I know it's been done in lots of animation in the past, but the fact that they stand in for pupilless eyes when on model and how they move around accordingly (like with the UFO passing overhead) really helps give off that half-sane vibe compared to the more typically-designed kid I think it's mostly in the lack of pupils -- usually with those sorts of designs, like with Dexter, you'll get the pupil bouncing around inside the frame of the glasses, but here they're just blank and it really helps sell it, yet even without the pupil you can tell where the line of sight is

him holding back a laugh while saying "oh my God!" made it sound so much more convincing. like the son was actually horrified at his dad spinning his head like Beetlejuice.

As a German, I found the German radio in the beginning really funny.

This is actually Jerma playing out an event from his own childhood

0:21 daddy jerma having to sit on the edge of the car seat just to reach the pedals

He’d either be a great dad or a horrible dad

This was my favorite part of the stream by far. I like to think this was why Long Drive won stream of the year, and you managed to capture it so perfectly. Thank you :^)

My dad has real bad schizophrenia and is in special care now, but a lot of this waa disturbingly accurate. He'd hear or see things that weren't there, and that's why the ufo part hit so hard

It's like these games are scripted for him. The chance that a UFO would show up in the middle of this bit.

I’m convinced this was the stream where he finally lost his mind. The hot sun of the Nevada desert numbed his last working brain cells and to help himself feel better started talking to his “son” in the back of the car which all along was the remaining but dwindling sanity of the man which he once was.

i love that dad jerma is kind of insane but still clearly cares for and loves his son, its endearing

I love the way the dad’s movements are just completely erratic, gives off Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas vibes very fitting I guess

Gasoline in the veins got a man going insane

i am SO happy to see jerma animatics like this. this is so good thank you

you really captured the thickness of jerma in this video

When ever he says gasoline i can hear him say GAHS in my head each time.

I love how you even drew his weird, all the way forward posture on the seat, great detail.

UTTERLY OBSESSED WITH THIS FANTASTIC JOB

“Gasoline is the most delicious fluid there is!” That line slays me every time!

this brought me great joy. thank you for this

You know what’s more unhinged is the father driving the car with the seat having no back support.

THIS CHILD LLOOKS SO CUTE I AM SO SAD FOR IT HE LOOKED SO HAPPY WHEN HE GOT IT RIGHT IN EYE SPY I AM LITERALLY GONNA CRY

this video is over a week old, with over a thousand likes and no dislikes. this is because it's perfect

This is so well made, nicely done. This makes Jerma look somehow more insane, very well done.

this is incredible!! losing my mind at the ufo bit

*"Gasoline is the most delicious fluid there is-"* Nice animation dude

There's no back to his seat. This is insane.

I love how the dad is INSANE but also trying to be what he thinks is a good father for his son

This is absolutely amazing, makes me wish for whole cartoon about these two, in this cute style and voiced by Jerma... Yeah, that's never happening.

I have waited for something like this, and it was so magical.

I was so happy that the UFO bit was included.

You made me feel so miserably bad for that poor child congrats

His road dad impression is amazing

Love it! The dad Jerma and kid Jerma character designs are really good.

I'd call the dad "Mr. Jermaine".

This had to be one of Jerma's most psychotic bits

The fact that this was all on the fly and not scripted still amazes me

The Heroes 8 bit at the end was a nice touch

At 0:32 when the dad says "I spy" then a Soldier and Pyro doll sit in the pocket thing on the door next to the kid (I don't know what they're called). That's a nice reference to Jerma's past.

He starts getting a bit Mr Satan/Goofy/Freddy Kruger at the end there

i can appreciate that the father is green. you could almost call him....Mr. Green.

My favorite Jerma bit.

I find it better that there arent any backs to the carseats so it just makes the car look worse

you made him seem deranged but in the original i just found it kinda tragic lmao

The legend was born

Jerma's looking like he's Kent Mansley and he works for the government

Hoping someone would animate this bit. "Gasoline is the most delicious fluid there is" is my favorite thing he's ever said😂

i love the huge grin the dad has after spinning his head, perfect little touch

Friendly reminder that this CRAZED man left his son at a bus stop saying "He'll be fine he's the main character" absolutely disgusting

A great skit, and a great animation, nice job.

This animation is amazing. Massive Dungeons & Daddies vibes.

Lil' Jerm? So this is his actual dad and his origin story huh?

The best part of this is the SuperDazza video recommended in the corner with the character's head turned like 150 degrees backwards at the back seat, staring directly into my soul.

man the new season of moral orel looks great!!

the way this was animated makes me believe that he doesnt have a back to the driver's seat, making him just a little bit more unhinged

This is amazing! I love everything about this.

THIS IS GREAT , thanks for creating this!

You bring so much life to this great bit. You have earned my subscription.

I love how the jerm dad becomes the "when the impostor is sus" meme when they play eye *spy* . Im sure its unintentional but its such a funny coincidence

you made these characters have such a complicated relationship it's so funny

the dad has left the walls of the house

i had a smile on my face the entire time i was watching this

I got the game in the early stages and it's been great watching it grow and seeing youtubers lose sanity playing it

His dialogue give me the heebie-jeebies... especially the part where he says Purple is is favorite color Powerade.

The best part about the ufo part is that the camera representing the kid's pov in the original stream actually saw the ufo before the dad did

Every time the kid took a sip of gasoline i lost 20 years of my life

Such underrated piece(s) of art

Awesome video, that’s some adorable art.

Love what you did with the place

Worst dad award goes to that guy
