The Joke-Explainer™ 7000

The Joke-Explainer™ 7000, also known as Joke-Explainer or J.E. for short, is a recurring original character on the SiIvaGunner channel based on a YouTube user of the same name. She is a robot created to explain jokes in rips and has appeared in several places across the SiIvaGunner lore. Since Season 7, she has been used as an in-universe surrogate for the channel's team and as a channel mascot, replacing Wood Man.
==Characteristics==
The Joke-Explainer™ 7000 is a robotic version of Smol Nozomi, with purple hair, gray metallic skin, yellow eyes and hands, and an antenna on her head with Wood Man's ">:]" face on it. She is able to fly using propulsion boosters at the ends of her pigtails, which emit green flames reminiscent of Christmas Spirit.
She is usually depicted wearing Nozomi's original uniform, with a teal bowtie, blue shirt, and cyan skirt. She has also been depicted wearing a variety of other outfits to match ongoing channel events since becoming the channel's mascot in Season 7. The two models of Joke-Explainer are differentiated by the design of their eyes, with CCC Joke-Explainer having a circular outline, while AI Universe Joke-Explainer has a full circle split into four pieces.
Several of her video appearances are accompanied by the song "Magolor's Shoppe" from , including her Haltmann's Archives file, making the track somewhat of a theme song for the character. She normally acts very politely and speaks in clear, precise language. In videos where she is given a speaking role, she is voiced by Jea.
==History==
The character is based on Joke-Explainer™ 7000, a YouTube account that began appearing in the comment sections of several SiIvaGunner rips in 2016, where it would post comments explaining their jokes. The account was created on August 18, 2016, and is allegedly operated by SiIvaGunner team member Smoky."It looks like Socialblade last got usage data for the Joke-Explainer account on December 13, 2020. SmokyThrill77's YouTube channel was terminated for the same reason and on the same day [...]." - Comment by u/overcast07 on the r/GiIvaSunner subreddit; January 5, 2021. Its first comment was posted shortly after the account was created,"The Joke™: The melody starts off normal then turns into an arrangement of "Dango Daikazoku" by Chata, which is the ending song of Clannad. Later during the rip at about 2:30, the vocals of the actual song kick in. The title of this video is a play on this, as it is named the "Yoshi Clan Mix" (Clan=Clannad)." - YouTube comment by Joke-Explainer™ 7000 on "Story Music Box (Yoshi Clan Mix) - Yoshi's Island". and it continued posting comments and replies sporadically up until 2019,"I'm always here to help!" - YouTube comment by Joke-Explainer™ 7000 on "Welcome to SiIvaGunner!". then was temporarily terminated on December 13, 2020 alongside Smoky's main account, and later returned to posting comments in 2024."The Joke™: This is the announcement video for SiIvaGunner's newest album, RIPBLOX. The timing, premiere countdown and title of the announcement were intentionally chosen to mislead viewers into believing it would be Puyo Puyo-themed, as it was uploaded directly after the last rip of Puyo Puyo Day. Additionally, the usage of "Long-awaited" references both the song A Long-Awaited Spacetime Journey! from the Puyo Puyo series as well as the fact that a long time has passed since the ROBLOX channel event in 2023 and its album release" - YouTube comment by Joke-Explainer™ 7000 on "A Long-awaited Announcement!".
Joke-Explainer's first proper appearance on the channel was in the video "Loves the Ladies [Episode 7] - The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis", on April 24, 2017. She appears in an introduction for the episode at the start of the video, where she explains the reason for the episode's long production time and provides a recap of the first six episodes of The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis.
The in-universe origins of the character were later explained in "The Joke-Explainer™ 7000 [FILE-11] - Haltmann's Archives". The file reveals that she was built by Chad Warden on June 1, 2016, for the purpose of explaining obscure jokes in rips to anyone who asks, after noticing a growing trend of "commenters not getting the joke". It is stated that she has an energy signature similar to Wood Man's, and that she also has knowledge of the real world, referred to as "a world beyond ours". Following this, she later appeared in "Welcome to SiIvaGunner!", a special video meant to act as an introduction to the channel for newcomers, where she explains basic aspects of the channel and its lore, and announces the release of the album SiIvaGunner: Starter Kit & Essentials.
Joke-Expainer was procured by Haltmann Works Company on April 24, 2017 for testing. She was also close friends with one of the scientists working under Haltmann Co., Dr. Andonuts, who had took her in after Chad Warden died during SiIvaGunner: Rebooted. Andonuts got into contact with Wade L.D., with plans to build a duplicate of Joke-Explainer without the company's knowledge, presumably to take her place as a test subject for Haltmann Co.'s research. The duplicate was finished on April 30, 2018 and remained under Haltmann Co. custody until March 1, 2019. In "Garlic-Flavored Tacos [FILE-16] - Haltmann's Archives", the Joke-Explainer replica ate a sample of a garlic taco, accidentally being sent to a different universe. Now stuck, she was given the task to archive information about it and submit it to Haltmann Works R&D. The replica took permanent residence in the AI universe, while the original Joke-Explainer remained in the CCC.
===SiIva A.I. Universe===
The Joke-Explainer replica first appeared in this universe within the animated series A Murder Not Too Nice, where she is part of the main group of protagonists. She is invited to Wood Man's mansion alongside other characters and helps to uncover the mystery of his disappearance, ultimately exposing John Notwoodman as the culprit.
She would later reappear in the SiIvaGunner All-Star Nuclear Winter Festival, in the event's lore and related posts on social media. Following a catastrophic meteor impact, Wood Man finds her and the two decide to travel together in search of a calm zone near the impact site, while Joke-Explainer enacts her mission to "archive everything from the world before it's too late." They meet several characters over the course of their adventure, including Geno, who also joins them on their journey. Before reaching the crater, Geno gives the duo a drive containing his locked-away memories of the meteor. Upon reaching the site, Joke-Explainer reads the drive and enters a horrified trance, causing Wood Man to pull her emergency shut-off switch and delete her most recent memories. Wood Man then removes himself from this universe by touching the meteor, and Joke-Explainer later submits her archived information to Haltmann Works R&D in the form of a disc.
===Central Canon Continuum===
Following the upload of "The Disappearance of Wood Man - A SiIvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis Side Story", Joke-Explainer took over Wood Man's role of updating fans on channel happenings in an in-universe manner throughout Season 7. Following SiIvaGunner's awakening in the Christmas Comeback Crisis episode "One Last Chance", she has also taken the role of running the channel in his absence since the video "...of Season 7". During her takeover, starting with the Super MAGFest 2024 event, the catchphrase was changed to "For more information, please read the channel description!"
Over the course of her reign as channel host during Season 8, Joke-Explainer kept in contact with Dr. Andonauts, sending status updates throughout the year. After getting no response back for months, Dr. Andonauts messaged her, telling her to come to the Voice's Tower, leading into "Cognitive Dissonance - A SiIvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis Side Story". Taking place during Halloween 2024, the game features Joke-Explainer traveling into Andonauts' mind. She is tasked with trapping a foreign entity in his mind. The cave holding the entity is guarded by Varik and Mr. Dee, who task Joke-Explainer with finding the Three Courages guarded by the Guilt. Joke-Explainer throughout the journey helps Andonuts with his emotional struggles involving the events of , working with immoral people like the Voice and Porky, his guilt over the other Joke-Explainer's disappearance, as well as his self-hatred stemmed from the things he's done. 
After gaining all three courages, Joke-Explainer goes into the cave, only to find out the "foreign entity" being revealed to be the memory of him learning about their world being essentially fiction. Joke-Explainer, using her awareness of the World Beyond Ours, empathizes and ensures that Dr. Andonuts knows that his life being fiction doesn't make it any less real, and that he has people who care for him. Joke-Explainer is pulled out of the doctor's mind and the two hug, with newfound understanding.

==Trivia==
*Her appearance and general "helpful" functionality is a reference to the Omochao of the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
*The YouTube channel for the Joke-Explainer™ 7000 has two confirmed videos. One is simply a reupload of "Minecraft with Gadget". It was published on May 14, 2017 as part of a mass reuploading across several channels (also including TimmyTurnersGrandDad and VvvvvaVvvvvvr) to protest Mike Matei striking reuploads of the video. The other is an unlisted video which has the same title and thumbnail as "Minecraft with Gadget", but is actually a nearly 40-minute playthrough of Alpha v0.3.0 done for The Susie ARG.
*The Joke-Explainer™ 7000 has replied to several comments with "It looks like you need assistance on how to make a good comment. Would you like to view the tutorial?". Comments receiving this response appear to be deemed "bad" in terms of the joke they were trying to tell.
*According to MtH, "joke explainer is half filipino half brazilian".Tweet by @emmnyaa
