* {{Catchphrase}}: On the "Jarvis Johnson! GOLD" channel, he regularly starts videos by reminding viewers that the channel "is free. (beat) It is free." There's also two phrases Jarvis sprinkles in, in most if not all his videos:
** "No Relation", usually for when there's another person named Jarvis or Johnson, or someone who resembles him a great deal (like Jaboukie Young-White).
** "Always Be Plugging", which he says whenever he references one of his other accounts.

* PaddingThePaper: In "These Fake Animated Stories Have Gone Too Far," he parodies the confusing prose in animated story videos with a CutawayGag about a student trying too hard to pad out sentences in an assignment. "The dog is brown" becomes "The dog, and when I tell you what color it was I was both happy and sad at the same time, and you will be too once you hear my story... it is brown."

* TheOneThingIDontHateAboutYou: While he genuinely believes WebVideo/TroomTroom is the ''worst'' channel on all of Youtube, he at least gives them this much credit:
--> '''Jarvis:''' At least it doesn't exploit the algorithm in like such an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsagate Elsagate]] way as 5-Minute Crafts does, so I'll give 'em that.



* TimeTravelingJerkass: Parodied. In the same sketch where Jarvis declares he [[UsefulNotes/RMSTitanic sank the Titanic]], he arrogantly declares he'll never be caught just before climbing into a time machine and becoming a commentary [=YouTuber=]. As soon as this information comes to light, Jarvis very quickly and awkwardly ends the video.]

* Magic8Ball: In one video, he's told to do a life-hack that amounts to letting a Magic 8 Ball make all of his decisions. He pulls out three different ones, asking them things like "We're best friends, right?", and "Will this video be good?" All of the answers were negative.

Jarvis Johnson is a [=YouTube=] commentator and comedian.

Though his channel began with tech videos, it eventually shifted into commentary, analysis and comedy, featuring Jarvis and some of his friends discussing and poke fun at a variety of content, from weird animated story-time channels to ''Film/HighSchoolMusical''. In addition to the commentary are various skits, some to introduce and frame the subject of the videos and others as parody.

Jarvis also has a secondary channel at [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR1PVwrPjpz0U_Fbju-BAzQ Jarvis Johnson GOLD!]], which is a bit less-scripted. He is also a member of the Sad Boyz [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCydcMzXFa0hq3mktq0s9dwg channel]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsv_tpDUp-atfn-zzcsGyIg podcast]], alongside his friend Jordan.

----
!!Tropes found in his videos:

* BlackComedy: In one video, he decides to test an apple-splitting life-hack to feed his friend Jordan. He forces him to throw away the apple he already cut, then struggles to break the apple open with his bare hands...all while Jordan insists that he has to eat the apple soon, and only the apple, because his blood sugar is getting low. Then he collapses dead on the ground.
* DeadpanSnarker: Most of the comedy comes from his sarcastic reaction to whatever he's reacting to.
* EvilOverlord: The apocalytpic-future god Zeffo, who is said to possess people, spread propaganda about staying indoors, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking has banned carrots]].
* TheFreelanceShameSquad: During a montage of re-enacting some of 5 Minute Craft's hacks, Jarvis falls and spills coffee on himself. His friends stand back and laugh at him for several seconds, while he's still sitting on the ground being sad.
* PottyFailure:
** In one video, he ends up in a ''Franchise/TheMatrix''-style simulation but really has to go to the bathroom. "Mr. [=YouTube=]" explains that he can go wherever he wants in the simulation, which he takes literally, and just pees where he stands, to the disgust of Mr. [=YouTube=], who explains that it was a joke and to just use the bathroom.
** As part of a fake laughter bit in one video, Jarvis claims he "peed in his pants" as a result of laughing so hard.
* RunningGag: Saying "No Relation" whenever he's talking about someone else with the name "Jarvis" or "Johnson", or sometimes just because.
* TalkingInYourSleep: PlayedForLaughs and Parodied. To re-enact a hack that involves stealing a sleeping friend's finger-print, Jarvis pretends to be going to sleep while narrating everything he's doing. As his friend comes to get his finger-print, he talks about how he's changing positions, feels something tickly on his thumb, and how he's dreaming about being [[Franchise/StarWars Yoda]]. All while insisting he's definitely asleep.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Parodied In-Universe, and discussed. Two characters are watching a [=YouTube=] storyteller named [[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Billy Shakespeare]] who always tells stories. They're horrified and angry to find out that he wants to also write and share poetry, leading to backlash and an [[YouTuberApologyParody apology video]]. Jarvis then goes onto explain how he's suffered some backlash for drifting away from the tech videos, and explains that the parasocial relationship creators and fans have can be toxic, especially if the fans don't like the content their favorite creator has decided to put out.
* TimeTravel: Apparently, he's the one who sank the UsefulNotes/RMSTitanic. Then he time-traveled into the future to hide himself as a [=YouTuber=].
