Ahoy! We are currently drifting across the vast, expansive ocean in a raft constructed solely of uncanny aphorisms and faux Disney Channel dialogue. Also, this raft may actually be an airplane, and our captain’s got the navigational skills of Buster Bluth (”So the blue is land…”). When last we left the JoBromance crew, Nick was using the tragic death of Alexis’ father as an opportunity to make his move, Alexis was performing her Moog cover (I am nothing if not a JoBromance revisionist) of Emily Osment’s eviscerating social anthem “I Don’t Think About It,” and everyone else was waiting in the ether for the next Disney Channel star cameo. So will emogurl810 steer this ship ashore, or will she let it sink under the weight of its own triviality, leaving us all to perish at the proverbial hands of the sharks, or at the very least gain a totally hardass story that we can bring out the next time we get drunk off of corn whiskey and want to bring the mood down (”You know the thing about a shark? He’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes, like a doll’s eyes.”)? MORE »

A JoBromance Chums For Drama

A JoBromance Doesn’t Think About It
After last episode’s tepid cliffhanger, the stage is set for mild to moderate drama, and emogurl810 always delivers. Are you ready for yet another Disney Channel star? Can you believe Emily’s nefarious boyfriend-stealing compulsion? Do you know the five Ws (and the H) of journalism? Say, whatever happened to Alexis’ dad? Follow me into the void for answers. MORE »

A JoBromance Kicks Out The Jams
Having taken a cruise by plane to Hawaii, the gang is all set for tropical-flavored drama emogurl810 style, a.k.a. lots and lots of vapid dialogue, and, in the case of this episode, an original song! MORE »

A JoBromance Takes An Air Cruise
After last episode’s narratively disastrous tickle fight I was just about ready to give up hope on emogurl810’s sweeping Jonas serial. But something–most likely a severe bout of masochism–compelled me to give episode 7 a chance, which was ultimately the right decision. Not only does this episode feature an impromptu cruise to Hawaii on an airplane , it also has emogurl810’s best tip for attracting cute guys. Hint: not with your intelligence. MORE »

A JoBromance Devolves Into One Big Tickle Fight
After last episode’s dialogue-heavy powwows about the deep philosophical chasm between “like” and “like like,” emogurl810 has decided to to lighten things up a bit with an episode of the JoBromance that consists almost entirely of a tickle fight. MORE »
A JoBromance Forges On, Poor Diction And All
Last episode’s dramatic, montage-y rising action proved that it’s emogurl810’s world, and we’re all just living in it. Episode 5 is an introspective exploration of the consequences we face when we tell people we love them. Plus, we get every last tacky detail of Alexis’ jogging outfit and another hilariously accidental oral sex reference. MORE »
The JoBromance Goes Down (Maybe Literally)
If episode 3–with its stalling narrative and repetitive dialogue–was the filler episode of the ongoing Jobromance series, episode 4 is its tour-de-force masterwork. Emogurl810 kicks things up a notch with yet another love subplot, and an almost entirely indecipherable (and therefore possibly brilliant?) match-making sequence in the park, complete with slapstick clichés and an amusing accidental double-entendre.

JoBromance Abounds, This Time With Even Less Substance Than Before
The JoBromance–the YouTubed Jonas Brothers homage that combines the art of the cobbled-together tribute video with the hair-raising creepiness of fan fiction–continues full steam ahead in episode three, as the gang investigates a mysterious dispute, and emogurl810 once again eschews the conventions of the narrative form.

The JoBromance Continues, And Episode 2 Makes Us A Bit Confuzzled
When last we left our heroes, they had just piled into a car with the fraternal (”infasize on the word:FRATERNAL”) triplets of Maple Street, and were careening towards a head-on collision with major drama. Episode two introduces one new character, two new words, and three questions about pizza. MORE »
“A JoBromance” Threatens Sanity, YouTube Servers With New Form Of Fan Fiction
As it turns out, all those months I spent covering tribute videos and fan fiction separately were a total waste of time. Modern fandom has now evolved to the point where these two mediums can exist as one; it was only a matter of time before that “About This Video” text box on YouTube was put to more creative ends, and there was never any question as to whom this new form might be dedicated.
