Line #14 WebVideo/JMWFilms


1	''JMW films '' is an American Youtube channel which focuses on the [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV Grand Theft Auto Online]] roleplay server Pro Gamer Network. The owner of the channel, James, is most known for introducing… odd scenarios to the players of this server, which run the gauntlet of [[SerialKiller Serial Killers]] and [[VigilanteMan vigilantes]] all the way up to blatantly supernatural and even [[ApocalypseHow apocalyptic events]].

3	The real focus, however, is the EnforcedMethodActing of the ''very '' unfortunate role players who find themselves embroiled in whatever idea has been cooked up. Frequently, these reactions involve a lot of [[MoreDakka firepower]].
4	----
5	!! ''JMW films '' Tropes:
6	* AttackOfTheKillerWhatever: Among the more creative events, James has also menaced his server with a [[ChainsawGood giant floating chainsaw]] and a [[{{BFG}} giant floating gun]].
7	* AuthorAvatar: Any times James takes an active role in the roleplay, usually to either introduce that videos threat and/or ''become '' that videos threat.
8	* AxCrazy: Maybe every 9 out of 10 times, the thing James introduces is actively hostile to everyone and everything. The most prominent one, however, is [[SerialKiller Jip Thornville]]
9	* BadassNormal: While the natural response by most players is to start running and screaming, even from the police, the moment a threat presents itself is the moment nearly everyone present is going to pull out a gun and start blasting.
10	* BedlamHouse: The Psychiatric Hospital of Los Santos has to actively go out and kidnap people to fill out its patient list, with the only real “disorder” assigned to any of them (if any) being ‘Main Character Syndrome.’ Their actual practices aren’t much better, and that doesn’t even mention the actual ''ghost '' in the basement. It says a lot that the [[spoiler: previously sane SoleSurvivor ends up going crazy after his stay there.]]
11	* BlessedWithSuck: Seymour has the misfortune of having '' chainsaws '' for hands, which is an active hindrance to him in his day to day life, on top of making him a target for harassment. The results are [[RageBreakingPoint predictable]].
12	* BunnyEarsLawyer: Harold, the homeless, [[TheUnintelligible gibberish spouting]] madman, is a recurring character who has displayed the capacity to build, among other things, a ''working helicopter '' out of nothing but random garbage.
13	* CrapsackWorld: The Los Santos presented in these videos is just a genuinely godawful place to live. On top of the expected criminal gangs and genuine lunatics running around, there are also actual monsters and ghosts running around, some of them ripped straight from the Website/SCPFoundation and which defy the laws of physics so utterly that the only way to survive them is for them to stop on their own. It’s also [[PlayedForLaughs really funny]].
14	* GenreSavvy: As a consequence of how frequently such things occur, the players on the server are quite a bit more accepting of weird things happening, and will usually be on high alert even before anything hostile occurs. For example, the sight of a HumongousMecha being trucked into the middle of the city is enough to send [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere several people running in the other direction]]. When the guy piloting said mech gets fired by his BadBoss, the people around him ''immediately '' start trying to talk him down from GoingPostal, for all the good that does.
15	* GoingPostal: The above mentioned Seymour and mecha pilot, but also worth mentioning are the three separate ‘Killdozer’ videos, which follow different disgruntled citizens (all played by James) as they rampage through the city in a souped up bulldozer.
16	* HauntedHouse: Haunted mansions, haunted schools, haunted ''public washrooms'', it’s a long list.
17	* NoOSHACompliance: One video has a waterpark that gets hit by an earthquake and then has a nearby highways traffic rerouted through all of the slides. It just goes FromBadToWorse from there.
18	** Discounting the above, the limitations of the game engine also didn’t account for people doing things like going down a waterslide. This resulted in a ''lot'' of prat falls.
19	* OurGhostsAreDifferent: There are a myriad number of ghosts kicking around, and not one of them is truly the same as the other. Special mention goes to the ghost of a murdered wife, inexplicably returned as a [[HumanoidAbomination spotlight headed monster.]]
20	* OurMonstersAreWeird: Every time James has a monster attacking people, it will always look as grotesque as possible, sometimes to the point where it shouldn’t be able to even ''move '' properly, let alone attack anyone. This doesn’t even count the number of times the monster is just an oversized inanimate object, either.
21	** A very good example of this is when he decided to attack people as a walking couch, of all things.
22	* PoliceAreUseless: ZigZagged. The cops are rarely able to mount a meaningful offensive against the MonsterOfTheWeek or VillainOfTheWeek, and, if they do, it’s due to prudent use of [[AwesomePersonnelCarrier Hellcats]]. It’s certainly not for a lack of trying, it’s just that nearly all of the monsters are in some way NighInvulnerable.
23	* SerialKiller: Several of them, some examples include:
24	** A DerangedTaxiDriver
25	** A [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter shotgun wielding]] VigilanteMan
26	** A CannibalClan, Leatherface {{Expy}} included.
27	*** The most well known, however, is [[MountainMan Jip Thornville]], who sought out victims at the behest of his deceased wife, and who proved [[BreakoutCharacter so popular]] he got his own series of videos.
28	* ShoutOut: Frequently. Examples include, but are not limited to:
29	** Literature/{{Christine}}
30	** VideoGame/Left4Dead
31	** Franchise/RoboCop
32	** The Website/SCPFoundation is used ''a lot '' for videos.
33	* VoiceChangeling: [[AnimalisticAbomination Babyheads]] main gimmick is that it can repeat certain phrases from its previous victims. It’s return video extends this to random, completely new noises.
