— Jerry Jackson, Jerry Jackson Episode, BEN IS MY DOGGY
|
Jerry Jackson is a character from the Jerry Jackson series. He is the protagonist of the Jerry Jackson series. He is a boy who enjoys making flash animations, and aspires to be an animator in adulthood. Typically, the crudely produced animations he creates are a retelling of his day or focus on a particular social issue, and they center on himself, his family, and his friends.
Background
Jerry is a boy from Scuntforp, England, who posts poorly made Flash animations. He is an aspiring animator, and hopes to one day work at Disney[1]. He lives with his parents, brothers, and his dog, Ben. As a result of spoiling Jerry, his mother allows him to smoke cigarettes and buys him video games when he throws tantrums. [2] However, she has expressed the desire to murder Jerry, and admits that only reason she does not is because it is illegal.[3] She is not considered a good cook. During the Jerry Jackson Christmas Special, Jerry and his family threw the dinner she prepared in her face.[4] Jerry's father is an abusive alcoholic,[5] [6] and he takes Jerry with him to rob other people's homes on Christmas. [7] Jerry attends an unnamed school, where he has multiple friends, his best friend being a boy named Jon. The two share a similar sense of humor. In addition to animation, Jerry is a fan of Linkin Park, wishes to be in a band similar to theirs,[8] and claims that he once invited them to his home.[9]
His animations usually retell Jerry's day-to-day life and incorporate his interests. He is a fan of vulgar jokes, and depicts different characters with their genitals exposed. In different episodes, Jerry attempts to discuss social concerns, such as racism, drugs and war. Nevertheless, he does not have a thorough understanding of them, leading him to express views that contradict the intended message he aims to convey.
Character Interactions
Salad Fingers
While Jerry does not directly interact with Salad Fingers, he enjoys how unnerving the series is. In-universe, he created the short SALAND FINDLES as a tribute to the series. While the cartoon is as nonsensical as Jerry's other cartoons, he does input some aspects of the original source material in his cartoon, such as Hubert Cumberdale being a friend of Salad Fingers and Salad Fingers' enjoyment of pain on his fingers.

SALAND FINDLES
Jerry is featured in the Jerry Jackson episode, "SALAND FINDLES". Jerry created this animation as a tribute to the Salad Fingers series. In the animation, Jerry voices Salad Fingers and Hubert Cumberdale. Salad Fingers begins the episode by explaining the basics of a Salad Fingers episode; He says he lives in a house, has unsettling appearances, and is often involved with creepy events. A dog approaches Salad Fingers, who he then molests, saying that he feels like paper cuts. The two then play chess, but during their game, the chess board is eaten by a giant monster, which makes Jerry laugh. Salad Fingers then finds he is out of washing detergent, so he goes to the store. Jerry disrupts the cartoon again to state that he made the animation. Salad Fingers meets with Hubert Cumberdale, and the two talk about what shampoo they bought from the shop. Following that, the authorities arrest Salad Fingers for being unnerving.
Jerry Jackson's FM
Jerry Jackson appears as a guest DJ on FlyLo FM's BBC Radio 1 Residency Program, hosting a short segment called Jerry Jackson's FM. Jerry was featured by DJ Flying Lotus, and he conducts a short segment with Jon, who begins by discussing his day. Jon describes waking up and going to the store. He then goes on a tangent about wanting soda with sugar since he is not in need for losing weight. He continues to ramble that his mother says he is so thin that she can see his ribs, and his uncle calls him "skinny ribs" when he tickles him. Jon casually states that this leads to sexual abuse by his uncle. Jerry bluntly emphasizes that he asked Jon about his day and not about any questionable actions caused by his family. The two then read Tweets directed at BBC Radio 1 that talk about Jerry and Jon. One user, Carl, complains about Jerry being featured on the program and declares he won't pay his license fee as a result. He wishes death upon Jerry and hopes his house is infested with flies. Another Twitter user, called DJ Legless, tells Jerry that his friend Lindsey has a crush on Jon, and if she can initiate an intimate relationship with him in the BBC Radio 1 studio, which excites Jon. As the two sign off, Jerry attempts to assume the role of the new host for FlyLo FM, although he is stopped by Flying Lotus.
The next segment begins with Jerry praising DJ Fetchin Carl's remix. Following this, he goes on a rant proclaiming that the segment on BBC Radio 1 is his show and threatens those who do not believe him. Jon intervenes and tells Jerry that he shouldn't threaten the audience. Jerry apologizes, but continues to assert that those who don't believe him won't confront him because they're afraid. Jerry introduces the show, continuing to threaten those who don't believe him with violence. He then signs off of the show, and thanks Jon for co-hosting, asking him what he thought of the episode. Jon claims that being featured on the episode has given him a new perspective on the world and a new meaning to his existence. He then tells the audience to listen to another radio station.
