8	Cosmo Jarvis (born Harrison Cosmo Krikoryan Jarvis, 1 September 1989) is a singer/song-writer/filmmaker/actor from Devon, England. He made his debut with the two-part album ''Humasyouhitch/Sonofabitch.'' His second album, ''Is the World Strange or Am I Strange?'' was far better received than the first, notably with the single "Gay Pirates." The video for the single became a viral hit when it was tweeted by Creator/StephenFry.

10	While Jarvis never sticks to one single genre, his work often makes use of punk screams, reggae rhythms and mandolins. His short films range from horror to comedy to thrillers, and often use very complex shots.
11
12	Jarvis is also an actor, having roles in ''Film/LadyMacbeth'', ''Film/{{Persuasion\|2022}}'' and ''[[Series/Shogun2024 Shōgun]]'', among other works.

31	* BrosBeforeHoes: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7XKW4vcKv8 She's Got You.]]
32	* CannotTalkToWomen: In his music videos and sketches, Cosmo often plays the kind of guy who is incable of having a normal conversation with a woman without blurting out awful things. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO3rxMFVNHc Practicing for Women]] is awkward to say the least.
33	* EarnYourHappyEnding: The conclusion of Gay Pirates is either this or DiedHappilyEverAfter.
34	* {{Gayngster}}: The theme of his [[http://www.afterelton.com/people/2011/2/cosmo-jarvis-gay-movie Valentine's Day]] exclusive video for the gay website, afterelton.com.
35	* GrandRomanticGesture: The ending to the gay mobster sketch.
36	* LastKiss: Last Kiss/Embrace: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPuwyy9PAaA&t=1m38s The Wave That Made Them Happy]]. The man is about to be killed by a tidal wave, and is standing next to the woman he loves and has treaty unkindly. He wants her to forgive him for everything he's said and done, and begs her just to let him hold her one last time before they die.
37	--> "If I can't hold you in my hands, my life ain't worth a fucking damn."
38	-->(...)
39	--> "With my forty seconds left, I would like to feel your breath, babe. What do you say?"
40	* LyricalDissonance: "Gay Pirates" is a cheery sea shanty about suffering horrific abuse for loving another man.
41	* MisplacedRetribution: In his short film, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVaosxUgl4o The Promotion,]] the man in the suit explains that he kidnapped the man in the chair because the guy was promoted instead of him.
42	* TheOner: The video for "Gay Pirates"
43	* ObsessionSong: Maxine.
44	* PedophilePriest: The video (although not the song) for Sure As Hell Not Jesus is about a priest with awful desires and friends in high places.
45	* QueerRomance: "Gay Pirates". Obviously.
46	* TemptingFate: ''I'd rather walk the dreaded plank/Than stay another week''...
47	* UnusualEuphemism: She doesn't mind the "Ooh-ooh-ooooh." You know, anal sex.
48	* WalkThePlank: The fate of the pirate couple in Gay Pirates.
49	* WhenIWasYourAge: The entire premise of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q69Y_vOgiD0 My Day.]] Subverted, in that the narrator doesn't actually look back on those days fondly, and believes that his generation were awful, disrespectful bastards.
50	* YouAreWorthHell: How the Pirate Jarvis feels about Sebastian.
