Jeremy Hox

*"You just made me wanna kill myself."
"Do it, you'll be in Hell a lot quicker."*
―The Host and Jeremy Hox[src]
**Jeremy Hox** was a teenager picked by The Host to be the unlucky victim in *Nerd Or Noob*. Upset with The Host's poor treatment towards him, Jeremy sought to retaliate by purchasing the rights to the show, causing him to become the new host. While hosting the game show, Jeremy chose Jessica to be his contestant, proving himself to be more kind to his competitors, in comparison to The Host. Before Jeremy could begin the show however, his broadcast was hijacked by The Host, who brutally killed him so he could get his job back. Unknowingly to The Host however, Jeremy became a ghost, and descended into the underworld.

Refusing to let The Host's sins go unpunished, the demonic Jeremy made a deal with Satan, who told him to bring The Host to Hell to play *Nerd Or Noob*. Promising to do so, Jeremy returned to The Host's life, telling him that if he lost Satan's hellish challenge, then he would steal his soul and use it to bring Jeremy back to life. With The Host being brought to Hell, Jeremy used his sick tactics to prove to The Host that treating people like crap was wrong, by making the game unfair for him. Unfortunately though, The Host managed to succeed, causing him to be sent back to the overworld and leave Jeremy behind to rot in the pits of Hell.

## History

### Victim in *Nerd Or Noob*

*"You, Sir, have been chosen to be the first victim, come on up!"
"But what if I don't want to?"
"TOO BAD! GET YOU ASS OVER HERE!"*
―The Host and Jeremy Hox[src]

In 2016, Jeremy Hox was picked by The Host to be the unlucky victim in *Nerd Or Noob*. Because he was busy reading his book, Jeremy didn't understand what was happening, until The Host begged him to come up to the stage. Jeremy refused to participate, but The Host pressured him into competing regardless, so Jeremy got up on stage to meet with The Host. The Host gave Jeremy his first question, asking what his name was. Unfortunately, due to The Host's unfair treatment towards his victims, this led Jeremy to be given minimal time to respond. The Host then shouted out 'TIME'S UP!', before crushing Jeremy with a boulder, saying that's what he got for being a noob.

### The Host's Unfair Challenge

*"Hey kid, I hate to break it to you, but I'm the host! That means I ask the questions!"*
―The Host to Jeremy Hox[src]

The Host gave Jeremy his second question, asking if he was single. Jeremy responded with 'yes', with The Host shouting out 'CORRECT!', much to Jeremy's confusion. Jeremy demanded to know how The Host knew that, but The Host told Jeremy that since he's the host, he's the one who has the privilege to ask the questions, so he told Jeremy to shut his mouth. Jeremy became upset however, to the point he threatened The Host, but The Host told him to behave, due to the show currently premiering live on television.

The Host then gave Jeremy two doors to choose from, asking him which voice sounded like a girl he would most likely want to date. The first door presented the most obnoxious voice ever, but the second door peeked Jeremy's interest with a cute girl voice. Jeremy decided to choose the second door, with The Host congratulating Jeremy by giving him some time to spend with his date. Unfortunately, the moment Jeremy went inside the room, he realized there was no cute girl, but instead Miss Gorilla, who harassed him.

### Purchasing the Show

*"GIVE ME THE MONEY AND I'LL STOP PUNCHING YOU!"
"OK OK! FINE! YOU CAN HAVE YOUR STUPID MONEY! HERE'S 1 MILLION DOLLARS! And three cents."*
―Jeremy Hox and The Host[src]

Upset with The Host for tricking him and treating him unfairly, Jeremy retaliated by punching him. The Host tried to give Jeremy one million dollars and three cents to make him stop. Unfortunately, Jeremy used the money to purchase the rights to the show, causing him to become the new host of *Nerd Or Noob*, much to The Host's concern. Jeremy used his new position to get his sweet revenge on The Host, by making him the second victim. Jeremy asked The Host what his name was, but much like before, Jeremy made the challenge unfair for The Host, causing him to lose and be harassed by Miss Gorilla, just like what he did to Jeremy before. Sometime later, Jeremy fired Bob for being stupid, causing him to be replaced by Giovanni.

### Killed by The Host

*"Mommy, is that real?"
"No, no I-I'm sure this is all fake... I hope."*
―Tommy Fitzgerald and Amy Fitzgerald[src]

While hosting *Nerd Or Noob*, Jeremy proved himself to be more kind to his contestants when he picked Jessica to be his victim. Jeremy gave Jessica her sweet time to introduce herself to the viewers, but the show was suddenly hijacked by The Host, who used this opportunity to get his revenge by brutally killing Jeremy. This led The Host to get his job back, much to Jessica's confusion. Sometime later, while victimizing the poor Edward Fitzgerald, The Host threatened to kill him just like he did to Jeremy, with his dead corpse becoming known to the viewers. When Edward's son, Tommy Fitzgerald, questioned if Jeremy's body was real, his mother Amy told him it was fake, despite being unsure herself.

### Deal With The Devil

*"I made a deal with the Devil, he told me to bring you to the underworld to play Nerd Or Noob. The deal was, if you lost... He would take your soul and bring me back to life!"*
―Jeremy Hox to The Host[src]
While inhabiting the underworld as a ghost, Jeremy learnt of The Host's dark past, discovering his birth name to be Marcus Fletcher Jr.. Upset that The Host had killed him, Jeremy sought to get his sweet revenge. Meeting with Satan, the overlord of Hell, Jeremy made a deal with him, which would involve Jeremy taking The Host to the underworld to play *Nerd Or Noob*. The two compromised that if The Host were to lose, then Satan would steal his soul and use it to bring Jeremy back to life. Jeremy ultimately promised to bring The Host to Hell, hoping to teach him a lesson.

### Getting his Sweet Revenge

*"What would you do if you ever saw Jeremy back as a ghost?"*
―'Kevin' to The Host[src]

Using his ghost powers, Jeremy returned the overworld, hoping to send The Host to Hell, just like he promised. Jeremy began to haunt The Host, causing him to see demonic visions of Jeremy in his dreams. On Halloween night, while sleeping, The Host dreamt of Jeremy's dead corpse, who greeted him by his birth name, much to his concern. Jeremy continued to haunt The Host when he rushed to the stage so he could host *Nerd Or Noob*, giving him a vision of the stage up in flames. Jeremy then whispered to The Host behind him, but Kevin managed to snap The Host out of it.

When The Host sought to bring two unlucky victims together to compete, Jessica and the Nerd, The Host saw a horrific visions of Jeremy once more, causing him to overreact. Unfortunately, the Nerd believed The Host to be offending him because of his big red zit, causing him to become upset. Just then, Jeremy went backstage to intimidate The Host's cameraman. Using his powers, Jeremy managed to possess Kevin, before going up to the stage to talk to The Host in disguise. Jeremy, under the guise of Kevin, soon revealed himself, much to The Host's shock. When a fake Ghostbuster walked up to the stage to deal with the phantom, Jeremy killed him.

The Host became confused to what Jeremy was doing here. Jeremy promptly told The Host that ever since he killed him, he had been planning to get some sweet revenge. Jeremy then told The Host about the deal he made with Satan, hoping to bring The Host to the underworld to play *Nerd Or Noob*, saying that if he came out unsuccessful, then Satan would steal The Host's soul and use it to resurrect Jeremy. Jeremy then used his powers to send them both to Hell, leaving the *Nerd Or Noob* contestants behind without someone to host the show.

### Hellish Challenge

*"Why are you even asking me random questions? I practically know everything because I'm smart! How do you think I know the answers to the questions I ask?"
"Ok smarty-pants, what's the meaning of life?"*
―The Host and Jeremy Hox[src]

Sometime later, The Host woke up, but couldn't recall what happened. Just then, Jeremy welcomed The Host to Hell, literally. Jeremy mentioned that Hell would be the place that The Host would spend the rest of his days living in, and that he'd be laughing up in Heaven in the meantime. The Host questioned Jeremy's plan, wondering how he was going to be in Heaven if he was a demon, but Jeremy told The Host that he wasn't a demon, and only looked like one just because he was in Hell. Jeremy sought to begin the challenge, but he was constantly interrupted by The Host, so he urged him to shut up.

The Host then questioned why Jeremy was even bothering giving him questioning, claiming that he practically knew everything because he was smart. Jeremy decided to put The Host's knowledge to the test by asking him what the meaning of life is, but The Host was given minimal time to answer, much like how he treated Jeremy in the past. The Host criticized Jeremy for being unfair, but Jeremy saw this to be hypocritical, due to the complaints coming from the person who treated everyone like crap. The Host protested, saying that he didn't treat everyone like that, but Jeremy urged him to stop lying, while singing to *Why You Always Lying* by Nicholas Fraser. Cringed out, The Host told Jeremy that he just made him want to kill himself, with Jeremy telling him to do so, saying he'll be in a Hell a lot quicker.

### The Host's Penalty

*"Wait! How do you know my real name?"
"Gaben told me, he also told me why you renamed yourself, something about you hating your Dad, and being a Jr..."*
―The Host and Jeremy Hox[src]

Jeremy gave The Host his next question, saying that if he lost, then he would be given the penalty. Jeremy asked his unlucky victim what his name was, with him claiming it to be The Host, showing Jeremy his ID Card to prove it. Unfortunately, Jeremy asked The Host for his real name, much to The Host's shock. The Host refused to reveal his birth name to his unfair host, so Jeremy gradually punished The Host by making him suffer the penalty. The Host, believing he had the guts to handle the penalty, told Jeremy to give it to him. Unfortunately, this led The Host to be publicly harassed by Miss Gorilla and Shrek.

### Unfairly Challenging The Host

*"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WITH ONE SINGLE NOTE!?"
"I know, so unfair, like someone I know..."*
―The Host and Jeremy Hox[src]

Sometime later, Jeremy ordered Miss Gorilla and Shrek to let go of The Host. Jeremy questioned if The Host was okay, but The Host, upset with Jeremy's poor treatment, urged him to go screw himself. Unfortunately, because The Host got the answer wrong, Jeremy joked that he would bring Satan over to steal his soul. The Host became concerned, but Jeremy then told him he was just messing with him. Jeremy then gave The Host his next challenge, asking him how long does it take for a ray of light to reach the Earth from the Sun. The Host started to think, but Jeremy promptly shouted out "TIME'S UP!", causing The Host to be crushed a boulder. Jeremy tried convincing The Host to give up his soul, but The Host refused to concede, so Jeremy continued.

Jeremy told The Host that for his next question, he would play a passage from a famous opera, and that The Host would have to guess what the opera was. The Host believed this to be a simple challenge, but when Jeremy went to the piano to play the passage, he played just one single note, then told The Host to figure it out. The Host became upset by this, wondering how he was supposed to figure out the opera with just one note, with Jeremy mentioning it to be unfair, just like someone he knew. Because The Host couldn't guess the opera, Jeremy gave him two buttons to press as his penalty. Getting tired with Jeremy's pestering, The Host begged him to send him home, claiming that he had learnt his lesson and wouldn't treat anyone like crap ever again. When The Host told Jeremy that if he were to die in Hell, his pet cat would become lonely, Jeremy exposed The Host, saying that he killed his cat years ago, much to his shock.

### The Host's Last Chance

*"Give up now, you know you don't know the answer! You're gonna be stuck here in Hell with all the people who have done terrible things, and I will come back to-"
"Dark matter builds up mass converting into supernatural energy creating a vortex which, if enough energy, could break the barrier and create a dimensional portal from the underworld to the over world."*
―Jeremy Hox and The Host[src]

Because The Host lied to him, Jeremy decided to give him a penalty. Jeremy gave The Host his last question, saying that if he lost, then he would be victorious, giving Satan the privilege to steal his soul. Jeremy then asked The Host what the scientific method is behind opening a dimensional portal from the underworld to the overworld, causing The Host to be pressured into thinking. Seeing him struggling, Jeremy tried persuading The Host into giving up, doubting that he knew that answer.

Jeremy then told The Host that he was going to be stuck in Hell with all the people who have done terrible things throughout their lives, but The Host surprised Jeremy when he said that Dark Matter builds up mass converting into supernatural energy, creating a vortex, which if enough energy, could break the barrier and create a dimensional portal from the overworld to the underworld, causing him to get the answer correct. With The Host winning *Nerd Or Noob*, he was sent back to the overworld, leaving Jeremy behind to rot in the pits of Hell, much to his disappointment. When Satan showed up to suggest a backup plan, Jeremy told the overlord to shut up, saying no-one liked him.

### Observing the Multiverse

Sometime later, Jeremy went to Heaven, wondering how The Host was doing back in the overworld, unaware that he had been sent to the year 2083 ever since he left Hell. Jeremy soon began to observe the wider-connected Multiverse, being present when Jack Jabolon dropped Tanner off a cliff. Jeremy was later recruited by Satan, who decided to make Jeremy his minion and train him so he could get his revenge.

### Participation in *Battle for BFLBI*

*"You're a failure, Jeremy Hox."
"Shut up Satan, no-one likes you."*
―Satan and Jeremy Hox[src]
With Jeremy's training complete, Satan unleashed a portal to the overworld, but the two ended up traveling to a different universe, unlike the one Jeremy and The Host originated from. While visiting this universe, the two crossed paths with a variant of The Host, who Satan believed to be the one they sought to destroy. Unfortunately, the confrontation was interrupted when Satan realized he was in a game show, much to his pleasure.

Jeremy was later teleported to Silverhawk and Four's location through Dr. Harold's Black Atom, which led him to participate in *Battle for BFLBI* as a member of Teh Noobs. Realizing that Jeremy hadn't killed anyone yet, Satan tried persuading him into slaughtering those who would stand in his way, hoping to have his pupil triumph, but Jeremy refused. Upset, Satan deemed Jeremy to be a failure, before dragging him back into the pits of Hell, causing them to leave the game show.

## Trivia

* In the *Shrekbusters* segment in the Speed-Boy-00 movie, *THE RISE OF CROWLEY*, Jeremy Hox is shown to be reacting to Crowley's invasion in the background, simply pointing at the madness. Unlike the other citizens who try to evacuate, Jeremy isn't phased by the chaos, proposedly because he had been through literal Hell and back himself in *Nerd Or Noob 3*, so Crowley's invasion is nothing new to him.
