—Jerma985

***Fast Jerma and Purple Alien*** (also known as ***fast jerma vs purple alien***) is an original web series created by bumblebuck that follows the adventures of Fast Jerma and Purple Alien. The series consists of animated comedy shorts lasting a few minutes each, all of which are available to watch for free on YouTube. It stars Twitch streamer and former YouTuber, Jeremy "Jerma985" Harrington, as Fast Jerma and Purple Alien. Bumblebuck is the sole writer, director, producer, editor, and composer of the series, acting under his production company, bumblebuck incorporated pictures.

*Fast Jerma and Purple Alien*'s niche popularity has inspired a number of spinoffs, including *Quick Jerma Green Alien* and *The Adventures of Cartwheel Jerma and Orange Troglodyte*, but even with the presence of the title characters in the two offshoots, bumblebuck has not declared their canonicity in regards to the Fast Jerma and Purple Alien Universe, although he has stated he enjoyed them.

## Episodes

### fast jerma vs purple alien

The first episode of the series, "fast jerma vs purple alien" was released on November 20, 2018, to a public that wasn't ready. It was submitted to Jerma's Green Screen Movie Night, where, upon viewing, Jerma's brains were promptly scrambled.

### The Cool Guy Contest

The second episode of the series, "The Cool Guy Contest" was released on June 24, 2019 to a public that was probably not expecting to see a sequel. It was submitted to Jerma's Community Content Night (the first of its kind), where it was accepted and viewed by Jerma, where he called it "perfect," and began talking about how great the Green Screen event was and how he wanted to do something like that again.

### Tropical Trouble!

The third episode of the series, "Tropical Trouble!" was released on October 7, 2019 to a finally recognizant Jerma. It was submitted to Jerma's second Community Content Night, where it was accepted and watched, whereupon Jerma finally recognized the videos as a series, in addition to being confused by the spacetime of helicopters, and discovered a breakout character in the form of Purple Alien.

### The Witch's Curse Part 1

The fourth episode of the series, "The Witch's Curse Part 1" was published on February 13, 2020. Submitted to Jerma's Community Content Night, Jerma watched it during the April 23rd 2020 Community Content Night, where he became completely absorbed in the plot, and was disheartened to see that it ended on a cliffhanger, proceeding to quickly watch the next episode.

### The Witch's Curse Part 2: The Scientist

The fifth episode of the series, "The Witch's Curse Part 2: The Scientist" was published on March 8, 2020, the same day as Jerma's fifth Community Content Night. During the sixth Community Content Night, where Jerma was captivated by The Witch's Curse: Part 1, he was sad to see it landed on a cliffhanger, until chat informed him that the second part was already out. Upon hearing this news, he immediately sought the second part, allowing him to watch them in quick succession during the same night, despite the episodes being released a month apart. The episode's insanity of the diarrhea pills and the cat bazooka sequence led to Jerma saying how it was all over the place, but everybody knows he still wants to see the next part.

### The Witch's Curse Part 3: Resurrection

The sixth episode of the series, "The Witch's Curse Part 3: Resurrection" was published on May 22, 2020, the same day as Jerma's sixth community content night. It was submitted to Jerma's Second Green Screen DLC Movie Night, where on August 29 2020, he watched it, but not before rewatching the entire Witch's Curse arc as a recap.

### The Witch's Curse Part 4?

Even though Jerma's Community Content Nights on his Twitch channel have been cancelled in their previous format, bumblebuck nonetheless confirmed on December 19, 2020 that the Witch's Curse arc will be concluded, stating, "as a filmmaker it is my duty to the fans to finish the story arc that I started all those many months ago and I must add I have been truly humbled by all the support and positive reception my movies have gotten thank you everybody" As of Summer 2022, nuttin' has shown up (probably takes some time and effort, after all).

### fast jerma and purple alien ride on the roller coaster

But bumblebuck proved he wasn't dead on Jul 17, 2022, when he published fast jerma and purple alien alien ride on the roller coaster for Jerma's third (and possibly final full-length) Green Screen Movie Night. Groovy. This is not a sequel to Part 3, which ended on a cliffhanger, but a prequel to the Witch's Curse arc (and probably Tropical Trouble, given that transitioned directly into the arc). Jerma watched it on part 2 of the 3rd Green Screen stream. Which makes it... the sixth green screen stream? Oh wait, there were the encore nights too... And the community content nights too, so... Eh, fuck it. Jerma watched it.
