It may be obvious but Slimecicle is in fact known as “that guy who makes the puns” in his fandom, and Jort Storm is really a perfect example of his immaculate ability of pun-making

[@grejny0843]

If he is with Tommy the puns are about come.

[@coralbenitez1937]

did you know there are pun competitions, and pun championships that go international? I just found that out, and it's awesome.

[@CaptainJackson430]

They may both be storm related, but what's really bizarre is that they're both technically pirate songs

[@Insaneian]

Wait...how is Jort Storm a pirate song?

[@CaptainJackson430]

@@Insaneian Long story. Slimecicle has a Dungeons and Dragons podcast with a few friends called Just Roll With It. One of their canoaigns, called Riptide, is pirate themed. During that campaign, Slimecicle's character and the rest of the pirate crew were pretending to be pants salesmen, so he disguised himself... as a "pants elemental" named Jort Storm. For the next episode, he wanted to make a song commemorating the one-off joke character as the intro. (They actually do joke songs recapping previous events quite often). Thus he found an instrumental and wrote the namesake song Jort Storm during a stream. So despite having nothing regarding piracy lyrically, it does originate from a pirate story.

[@Insaneian]

@@CaptainJackson430 huh. Neat! Thanks for the info!

[@maxdragon5043]

@@Insaneian A lot of their parody songs for their pirate campaign is unironically really good (Horse that knew ya, a parody of "Hallelujah", is another brilliant example for Charlie). Sadly I believe none of them are made into their own video, so the only way to listen to them is to watch the podcast's episodes themselves.

Slimecicle is great if you love wordplay, its like 92% of his humor

This is actually so true.

[@thewrens_]

I'd also love to point out the layers of genius (jeanius?) even as early as 'recessive gene' Yes, gene/jean, BUT What is a Jort if not jeans that have receded to become shorter. The Jort is LITERALLY a recessive jean

[@Spectralyzed]

I'm so glad you discovered the masterpiece that is Jortstorm. Fun fact, the entire reason he made this song was because in the D&D campaign he's part of (Just Roll With It), his party all had to come up with disguises, and he decided to disguise himself as, you guessed it, a Jort Storm.

[@TheAWE50MEMAN]

As a JRWI High Roller supporter, I can confirm this is absolute fact.

[@renfields1415]

do you know witch ep of just roll with it is his song in?

[@Ozloz]

I thought it was just a jort salesman, and he canonically made the song to sell more jorts? Or am I hallucinating

[@basketoffruit4485]

​@@renfields1415 he used the song in the intro of #103 of Riptide, though the episode where he disguised himself as the Jort Storm was #102

"just when i thought there weren't going to be any more puns..." spoken by someone who has clearly never been slimed. what a wonderful video

[@skelestial]

I'd like to emphasize this...the lyrics of jort storm were made in an HOUR on a Livestream. Thanks for reacting to it! I had to share this absolute gem. I hope you have a great d-aaaaaaaaah *jortex noises*

[@eternalmiasma5586]

“I got a genetic test but all my genes were shorts” is a hard ass bar

[@kdevelopergw]

i never realized the geniousness behind Jortex... I just never paid enough attention to notice that vortex starts with (x)-o-r-t just like jorts

[@Insaneian]

And that's why I do this show, lol 😅

[@KingNedya]

A general observation I've made with portmanteaus is that the more letters they share in the middle, the better it works. In jORTex, half the letters are shared (and 75% of jort), so it works really well.

[@Dafool1]

Nobody seems to notice that the "Jultists" (Hilarious, I know) are doing the GANGNAM STYLE when Jorthulu is introduced.

[@SolsticeReplika]

I noticed that the first time, had me dying lmao

[@gingerninja7250]

I can't explain it, but something about a guy picking apart and overanalysing the comedy behind jort storm has me in tears

[@thecobra8508]

the funniest thing about this is that this joke came from the dnd campain where he pretended to be a jort sailsman named "jort storm"

charlie slimecicle is absolutely one of the most funny people ever, he's also really good at acting and storytelling. he's awesome

Recessive jean, because the jeans only go down to the knee. Also, his mom dressed casually, (shorts,) and his dad preened, (jeans,) so the recessive gene would be neither casual nor focused on appearance. Apparently jeans are neither comfy nor good looking. I will never try them.

[@amyleah08]

If you like the wordplay in Jort Storm, please watch more of Charlie's content. his entire style of humor is wordplay and puns.

[@ChillBill327]

listening to Ian explain the comlexities of the word "Jortex" is exactly why I subscribed

[@Warios_Warehouse]

I cannot believe you reacted to jort storm... thats not a bad thing I just didn't expect it...

He didn’t rhyme Gene wih Jean in the first verse, he rhymes it with seam and supreme.. I don’t know if that’s much better tho

[@VoidZeroNothing]

Oh hell yeah, Jort Storm! Love Slimecicle! And he loves... Jorts. For some reason. It's honestly a little worrying at this point, I think he needs help.

[@armandbier2502]

you missed the fact the cultists were doing the Gangnam style when summoning jorthulu

[@meesmellink]

its funny how he made jort storm in like 1 or 2h on stream cause he had to finish it quickly

[@EmberElderwood-gt3hx]

It's perfect that he reacted to jortstorm on talk like a pirate day because jortstorm is inspired by a bit slimecicle did in a dnd pirate campaign he is apqrt of.

[@armandbier2502]

ian is way too impressed by slimcicle adding j to the beginning of words

[@thatluckypanda_]

OMG I remember Shit Boat!! My old school’s mascot was the Pirates and Talk Like a Pirate Day was like a national holiday lol. (I actually almost got in trouble for recommending this song in the stands during football season 😅 we were small but very aggressive 🤣) Also JORTSTORM???? OMG I DIED WHEN THAT CAME OUT 😭😭 fuckin love that guy lmao. Very much enjoyed this week’s reaction!

Slime also did some songs a couple years ago for some games he played and still does occasionally for intros to the dnd podcast he is a part of just roll with it like this one. The other one that blew up semirecently is juanaflippa for the egg he was taking care of in a minecraft server which was a parody of peaches from the mario movie

[@theperfectburger9892]

11:12 Slimecicle actually didn’t rhyme jean with gene. He rhymed preen with gene!

[@Collisto2435]

Glad that someone else agreed that Jortex is an amazing gift of a word

[@rosalinaaa4625]

honestly i reccomend watching the stream where he made this song, its about an hour long, its so funny to see how these genius lyrics were put together

[@kino9643]

fun fact: your whole explanation about gene and jean working well together because they're spelled differently despite being pronounced the same was also said by Stephen Sondheim in his books about writing musicals

[@twospies3835]

amazing. moving. truly my favourite video from your channel.

[@redib2717]

You really should look at the musical "The guy who didn't like musicals" if you've not already seen Starkids work

[@redib2717]

Maybe also "I am the very model of a scientist salarian" and try to understand it

[@redib2717]

Twisted is also one of Starkids' best. There is an amazing amimatic of the opening song "Dream a litte harder". For context Twisted is a parody of Aladdin

[@DeezNuts-wg7wu]

Holy shit! Thanks a lot for following up on my request to see Jort Storm, you rock dude!

[@dianacutie99]

ah, yes. another one enters the hivemind of slimecicle enjoyers.

[@SiIIy_]

Cool thing is Slimecicle came up with most of the lyrics live on stream

[@Crazael]

9:12 "Fannybaws". IIRC, it's some kind of Scottish slang term. Also, the captions for Alestorm songs are written by Christopher Bowes, the lead singer, and will often have jokes and commentary in them.

[@TheOystei]

7:07 Poopdeck is the correct name for the deck that makes the roof of the rear cabin, that collapsed in the video. So it's not redundant, it's just a pun.

[@hackerbrinelam5381]

Its hilarious how you take each pun's definition so seriously🤣

[@akiraisnothere5644]

Fun fact Jort story was made for his Dnd podcast that he runs with his three friends who are also KZbinrs each episode they take turns making the intro where they recap and this was one of the times for Charlie he made this song on stream with his chat helping him

[@Youwillseesomething]

Boy we got to it JORT STORM!!!

[@chaoticfloralarrangement8741]

in the version he made on stream, charlie made the lyrics for the parents part as "my moms dresses cas(ual) and my dad likes supreme" as in the brand supreme but couldnt use it in the radio edit (the one youre reacting to) cuz hed have to get the rights to reference the brand

[@Insaneian]

I mean, that's not necessarily true. While yes, in the past some companies have taken issue with their product being mentioned (most notably Coca-Cola in "Lola" by The Kinks) others usually don't mind (especially if it's usage is favorable), and some have even paid the ARTIST for mentioning them, as they viewed it as "brand placement" advertising (see also: rappers and cristal). That said, supreme is also JUST A WORD that existed before the brand, so even if he used it, it shouldn't be an issue because calling something supreme just means it's "superior to all others" 😅

For more comedy metal I would highly recommend that you take a look at Valhalleluja by Nanowar of Steel if you haven't seen it. A metal band of mad Italians pretending to be Swedish and singing a viking christmas song. Maybe save that for December though.

[@submariNervous]

9:08 - So I don't see any mention of this in the comments, so I'll just drop this here: The first of the two Alestorm songs we hear little snippets of is titled "Fannybaws". In the politest terms possible, the word "fannybaws" is a regional slang term for female genitalia, and the members of Alestorm thought it was HILARIOUS when someone called them that at one point, hence using it for the name of one of their characters. Something similar happened when someone from another metal band who had one-sided beef with them called them "rumpelkombo" (another regional slang term that doubles as a low-level insult). Their response? To include a three-second-long "song" on their next album, consisting of just a burst of drumming and a few guitar strums with the band all yelling "RUM-PEL-KOM-BO!" precisely ONCE, and then they CREDITED THAT GUY for both the song's title and "lyrics", so anytime someone buys the album or even just that "song", he'd be sent a notification that he got a royalty from something on their discography. A petty little gift that just keeps on giving! 🤣

[@Insaneian]

That's brilliant 🤣

[@whogavethedogalaptop]

Slimecicle made Jort Storm as an intro to one episode of his DnD podcast.
