Grandpa, real name Hilfred J. Steelhelm and sometimes known as MLG Grandpa, is supposedly Jerma's grandfather. He was first introduced in the video Grandpa Plays Insaniquarium, making him the first character to ever be created in the Jermaverse. However, he has been officially confirmed dead.

Description[]

Grandpa was an old man. He appeared wearing a variety of outfits, though they were usually very sloppy and low-effort. He was often seen with glasses, a moustache, and long gray hair.

Grandpa was a bastard, often going off on rambling and swearing tangents for no reason. He was kind of crazy and confrontational with everyone, possibly going senile. When he returned as Demon Grandpa, he was even more evil and chaotic than usual.

History[]

Origins[]

According to himself, Hilfred J. Steelhelm was born in 1924. He was the strongest baby alive, his father(s) were Batman and Superman, while his mother was Wonder Woman. He was their sidekick until they all died together in a roller coaster accident. In Heaven, he spoke to God, who wanted him to go back and solve the world's problems. God then made him immortal and sent him back to Earth. He was placed in a basket and taken to the Denver School for Baby Ninja Frog Peoples, where he befriended all of the frogs except for a frog name "Timmy" who made fun of him. Later on, Grandpa brutally murdered Timmy.

Hilfred then took up a job as fish peeler, where he ate all of the fish scales. The events of the rest of his life are unknown as he doesn't even remember them, but at some point he fought in World War II as a fighter pilot. He then died for the second time on June 24th, 2002 (roughly at 78 years of age) after falling out of an airplane. He went into Heaven once more. He was enrolled in Moses' science class where he met God himself right behind him, and asked if he could've brought him back to life if he traded his Lunchables. God accepted the offer and brought him back to life for just five more years; it is unknown how he survived so long, since he was supposed to die on June 24th, 2007 by the terms of the deal.[1]

Grandpa Plays[]

Grandpa made his public debut in the Jermaverse as part of Jerma's "Grandpa Plays" series. He first appeared playing Insaniquarium, later playing games such as Hitman: Blood Money, Cube World, Super Meat Boy, and Demon's Souls. The series was moderately successful at the time, even landing Jerma a spot with Machinima for a few years. The Grandpa Plays series died out around the end of 2013, but Grandpa remained a recurring character in Jerma's videos.

Posthumous Cameos[]

Grandpa reappeared in the Nexus when Jerma replayed Demon's Souls on stream, redoing a bit of Grandpa Plays for old times sake. It is unknown how he reappeared, but he then fell into the pit.

A treasure chest containing all of Grandpa's most cherished 90's belongings was excavated during the Archaeology Stream. It contained a heartfelt letter bestowing the items upon his family, such as the lost 1990's trading card game Grotto Beasts. When Jerma got it all appraised at Main Street Peddlers Antique Mall, it was deemed entirely worthless.

Grandpa was last seen in Jerma & Otto: The Curse of the Late Streamer.

In the Ring[]

The Jerma Rumble[]

Grandpa's debut in The Jerma Rumble sees him coming in as the fourteenth competitor, clad in green pajamas, white socks, and a pair of shades. He then eliminates Gabe Newell and Obama, only to be eliminated by Jerma at the end.

Jerma Rumble 2[]

Grandpa returns in Jerma Rumble 2 as the third competitor to enter the ring. He appears holding a kendo stick and a can of beer. He eliminates STAR_, but is eliminated himself by Gabe Newell.

Jermania 2014[]

Grandpa appears in the intro alongside Obama, Jerma and Glue Man. He is then introduced in the second match, returning with his kendo stick. In the Gauntlet Match, Grandpa fights all the "shitty characters" at his own request. His first opponent is the 30's Milkman, who he attempts to pin several times. He then gets out of the ring and tears the top off of the commentator's desk, accusing the commentator of calling him a shitty character himself. He confronts STAR_ in the audience, who punches him in the face and walks away. Grandpa then slams Milkman into the commentator's desk, breaking it entirely. Chaos ensues when The Chicken tries to enter the ring and Grandpa ends up fighting Bat Boy. Eventually, Martin Van Buren, Santa, and The Chicken enter the ring and overwhelm Grandpa to win the match.

Jerma Rumble 3[]

Grandpa comes back again for the beginning of the third Jerma Rumble, where he sings the American national anthem to kick off the event. Mid-verse, Demon Lord Zeraxos appears from under the ring and choke-slams Grandpa into a fiery portal to hell, where he burns and suffers forever.

Jerma Rumble - Live Action[]

Demon Grandpa appears, more powerful than ever

Grandpa returns in the live action Jerma Rumble as a demon known as Demon Grandpa, having gained great power during his stay in hell. He emerges through a portal opened up by Zeraxos off-screen. As Demon Grandpa his natural abilities are multiplied, quickly eliminating the Giant Rat and easily toying with the other wrestlers. He suddenly pauses in great pain, pretending to have a heart attack, and eliminates Winston after tricking him into lowering his guard. Now faced with only the bottom half of the Two-Person Horse, Grandpa gets ready to fight, but suddenly pauses in pain again. The bottom of the Two-Person Horse doesn't believe him, but this time the heart attack was real and Demon Grandpa keels over and dies. The bottom of the Two-Person Horse then picks up his corpse and removes it from the ring, eliminating him. Jerma has confirmed that this is the final death of Grandpa.

Trivia[]

  • Grandpa may or may not be a full on "character": although Jerma stated he was a character in his Q&A, he later stated in his Post-Rumble Livestream (after the Jerma Rumble Live event) that the only reason Grandpa was able to come back to life was because of the hell portal opened by Demon Lord Zeraxos, not because he had extra lives like a normal character (Ex: Sonic).
    • Therefore, Grandpa's death from his real heart attack is his last death.
  • Grandpa is the very first Jermaverse character that Jerma ever created.
  • Grandpa's voice is briefly heard heckling Jerma during TF2 - Boxes.
  • He hates cilantro.
  • In Jerma Rumble - Live Action he was portrayed by Jeremy Elbertson himself.[2]
