Jordan Underneath (recently changed to Jordan Under) is the host of his self-named Internet Review Show, with a taste for the dark, eerie, and flat out disturbing. Subsequently, the bulk of his videos focus on HorrorVideoGames, though he has occasionally strayed into less creepy territory, albeit rarely.

In 2017, however, Jordan began focusing instead on making original BlackComedy, SurrealHumor, or SurrealHorror short films, utilizing odd puppets, props, [[ManOfAThousandVoices and various accents.]]

[[https://twitter.com/Jordan_Under/status/1008460341250887680 As of June 17th, 2018, Jordan has removed all videos before the puppet era of his channel.]]

** This is one of Jordan's favorite things about the ''Silent Hill'' series. He even makes comparisons to other horror video game franchises, and how different the scares are. A scare in ''Resident Evil'' might be a dog jumping through a window and coming to bite you, whereas a scare in ''Silent Hill" might be a woman crying while you're in a bathroom... and you never find out who cried or why.
