Jim is Pathetic

[tweed]

Not a fan of her general attitude either, I remember her being kinda rude and edgy in some of the replies she sent to comments. The overly exaggerated sexy faces crack me up.

[wxnderlust]

just for anyone who wanted to know:
I watched 'viral tap' on itv2 the other night - the programme jim is doing some 'presenting' in. I knew he was hyping the whole thing up but I didn't actually realise by how much. He spoke for around about two minutes. He has his own tiny segment and he basically introduces his internet hero of the week - then they play the clip. He wasn't even on the panel but apparently he will be next week he said on twitter. So I don't know if he will only be on the panel for one week + his segment and thats it or be on the panel for the whole time - which I doubt but possibly?!

I'm hoping for his sake this show is some kind of stepping stone for him into what he wants to do with his life.
I didn't see the show but it sounds pretty much like what I expected it to be.
I feel kind of sad that at one time (a good few years ago now) I felt like Jim really had a lot of potential and seemed set to maybe do something a little more intelligent with his life. I don't totally blame him for the choices he has made. He's been surrounded by youtube people for a good while now who I guess validate what he does. He's also clearly making good money - for now. I really wonder what kind of longevity he can have though. If his presenting gig doesn't work out, I feel like he's just going to be riding on Tanya's popularity, however long that lasts.

I too hope this. I often wonder if he'll go back and finish his degree at some stage ,maybe then he'd do okay for something to fall back on,for when the day comes when youtube no longer provides his income. I honestly do not think he's as into the whole youtube crap as he used to be. Perhaps it's because he isn't where he expected and feels pressured to continue? I mean his entire family is within the youtube thingy, well besides his twin who makes the majority of his income from his gym!! but you know what I mean. I'd like to think he is behind closed doors pursuing his fallen career for psychology just so he has that to fall back on. Of all the gleamers i'd really hate to see Jim end up shit creek without his paddle!

I cannot believe he also has Tanya's little brother in his video... I can understand that it might be fun for a child to be in a video but he's exactly that a child. I don't think they should be "pimping" (for loss of a better word) him out for Gleam Media !

Watching Viral Tap right now just to see what it's like. Jim is on the panel this week.
He is actually quite good at presenting, but the show itself is quite awkward and tacky.

[Msjpx]

Never post here but am watching Viral Tap... Jim is absolutely awful. So cheesy, so fake & so not funny. You can see everyone forcing themselves to crack a "ha" when he makes a "joke". Just no.

Charlotte crosby from georgie shore posted a photo there yesterday or that saying she'd be on the show this week. The photo had Jim in it. I'd watch it simply for her,she cracks me up in a 'this is car-crash tv' kind of way! I'm tempted to go seek it out now here online..hmm

[whatiwouldcall]

The latest video with Tanya's brother is really inappropriate, some of the words Jim said for that sentence creator app, I don't want to hear those said in front of a 12 year old boy.

I admit I went and watched it online to see how Jim did. What an awful tacky and cheap show!
I suspect it will certainly be cancelled. It's not doing well in the ratings (about 450,000 I think) and the reviews I've read have been very scathing. Most comments I've seen about the show on other forums have just been about Caroline Flack looking like she was going to fall out of her top. I admit I thought that might happen as well!

As for Jim, he looked downright uncomfortable throughout the whole thing. No surprise barely 5 minutes in and he's managed to be talking about his or his brother's penis somehow.
I'm pretty uncomfortable with the way that him and Tanya have been pushing the show to their very young subscribers. This is NOT a show for kids. It's pretty crude and unfunny with it. Do his young girl followers really want to watch a discussion about an older lady (they kindly refer to as a granny) showing the world her breasts and bending over without her bum cheeks coming apart?

Worst of all for Jim he comes across as totally unmemorable. If I was watching him for the first time he would have made totally no impression on me whatsoever. That's not good in that business.
I was also struck with how bad his speech was. I usually think of him as fairly well spoken and have no trouble in following what he is saying. I've seen over people complain about it before and didn't quite get it. He was very mumbly and trying too hard in this though. He almost sounded like he had a lisp at times. Not good. Also the clips he chose for the show, were rubbish and got pretty much no laughs. I felt bad for him.

The show is maybe worth watching just for the end when a guy runs on and starts thrusting his almost naked groin area in the panels faces. Jim looked so uncomfortable but trying to be "oh yeah I'm cool with it" whilst everybody else was laughing it was hilarious.

I have never found Jim attractive, and this show just makes him look more like a dinosaur - small little eyes and eyebrows that are really close to his tiny eyes! He also looks very old.

[whataworld]

This is a bit late, but I a have a love-hate relationship with Jim. I watched him a couple of years ago, and he seemed really happy and nice. Over time, he's gotten annoying, and recently, he's been looking very withdrawn and tired. I also watched some of Viral Tap last night - what a bad show! It did have its moments, but still. He looked really awkward and from what I've seen, the ratings aren't too good either.

I also always get a really bad vibe from Sam, and feel uneasy whenever she appears on the screen

[ima]

I sorta feel sorry for him because it's just really obvious he does youtube because he's stuck in a rut with life and what to do. His girlfriend and sisters made big bucks off this thing and so thought he might aswell too,there is just no passion in his videos whatsoever.

[ExpectoPatronum]

Just happened to be looking at Jim´s twitter....WHAT is his banner?!! CRINGE
I was interested to see if he would tweet anything about spending today with AmazingPhil but nada! I wonder can we expect a video...I imagine all levels of awkward

[Sweetylein27]

does anyone have jim on snapchat? it is literally the most ashaming thing ever.... his posts are RIDICULOUS.... especially for his age

[BridgetJones]

I need to downlaod that snapchat thing...whats Jims nickname?

if you are also interest in Alfie's shameless self promotion, here is his account: itsalfiedeyes

and for jim's : jimchapman

[LadyBugB]

I don't know why but for the longest time I was under the impression that jim's brother is gay. How and when did I get to that conclusion, I swear he said it. I may have him confused with somebody else but I swear he said that in one of his videos.

[kathpt]

he's dating a coworker of someone in this forum if i'm not mistaken.

[Fairycake]

Haha i think it was the "here is my brother and his (business) partner" of a picture of john and leon that made everybody think he was gay. I definitely dont think he is.
