He's a kid who does energy drink, pizza and frozen food reviews on youtube in his sunday finery. Also UVB-76 is playing in the background of some of his videos.

I think I've found a younger version of Jeff

I like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbXQrPOi3oI
"I heard rumors on the street that Walmart might be buying twinkies..."
I fucking lost it.
So this kid is either Jeff's lost son or Giantbomb is reaching the impressionable youth. Because I refuse to believe the universe is just generating more of The Gerstmann.

It's Jeff's looper!
I was going to make a closing the loop joke on twitter @ Jeff but I figured it would be lost in the noise since he probably hasn't seen it yet.

This kid is way too classy to be Jeff.
I bet Jeff used to be classy too. Just give this kid a couple years in the real world.
Is that a..... Boston accent? Sorry, not from the East coast. It makes him sound like he's from the 30's, did he time travel to 2013 just to taste test energy drinks? I wonder if he's going to get on GMA and get his thigh touched by Meredith Vieira.
This is seriously awesome. In another video he takes off a coat and says "This is what you call a rain coat." Another good quote, "Spiders have eight legs. As humans, we don't."

Alex's comment on twitter about refusing to believe this kid wasn't written by Wes Anderson is so spot on it's un fucking real.
They just need to introduce us to the rest of his strange but likable family. Starring Owen Wilson and Bill Murray and Angelica Huston
First 5 seconds in and he's talking about energy drinks and russian number stations? Clearly this is a clone created by Jeff's dna against his knowledge.
Or in the video where he reviews an energy powder. "It's a fine green powder, almost like sugar, almost like cocaine. Don't snort it. Cocaine's not green."This is seriously awesome. In another video he takes off a coat and says "This is what you call a rain coat." Another good quote, "Spiders have eight legs. As humans, we don't."
I feel as though this kid might suffer from some sort of autism and this is just his only interaction with the world beyond his home, making us terrible people for making fun of him. Or, maybe this is just the most insane and elaborate comedy skit I have ever seen. I am torn on what to believe.

"Good afternoon, or evening I should say. Depends what timezone you're in, but that doesn't even matter."
I can't even handle this.
Holy hell this is amazing.
There's a video of his average day on the channel as well. He gets up at noon, picks out and puts on a suit from his dozens of suits, meticulously styles his hair... and then hangs around the house for the rest of the day. He sets up advertisers in Runescape advertising the YouTube channel, reads the paper, watches tv, sits on the porch, orders dinner and loafs around until 3+ AM. And he reviews energy drinks and fast foods.
I don't even
... what.
I expect this to explode over the internet very shortly, because it's just too surreal.

Yeah, kind of, but there is a weird talent about this kid. No one has been able to talk so much and say so little since Patrick.
I don't know what to think of this, I really, really don't. Watching him is almost like watching an operation, I can see something horrible is happening but I'm not sure what.

I dont really feel like I am making fun of him when I am laughing... It's just so endearing and earnest that it brings on the same fit of giggles that watching the UK Office does.

So this is what Barney Stinson was like as a child.
Batman97 says: How come u wear suits nd not joggers ? i.e nike, adidas etc
This kid replies: Because I feel like it.
LMAO, what a boss.
I've been watching more of these. He's consistently great across all the videos. I especially enjoy that he doesn't pigeon hole himself into a sarcastic negative review for laughs sort of schtick. Plenty of his reviews are quite positive.
I'm off to go watch everything on his channel. :D
