the line "a thing of bleach fell on him" is still unmatched in creepypasta
Lmao yeah even the rewritten one where it changed the bleach to them screwin around with a flare gun isn't much better
Edit: To be fair though the rewrite is significantly better than the original but still closer to functionally mediocre than actually good lmao
😂😂😂
"The blood was hyperrealistic" is up there too.
I'm more about "Jeff's mother hugs Jeff"
When Jeff the killer said "It's killing time." and turned into Jeff Dahmer, I truly knew it was creepy pasta for the ages.
Jeff the Killer, god… To say he was EVERYWHERE in the early 2010’s would be an understatement. Don’t even get me started with the anime inspired fan art of the character. Creepypastas and their peak popularity from 2011 to 2015 man… You just had to be there.

I'm a part of the JTK Image Search and it's cool to see you acknowledge our investigations Muta! As a longtime viewer of your channel, I think it's awesome that you know about an online community that I'm a part of! I have a feeling that within the next few months, we'll find the original image because we've got some pretty decent leads as of late. If and when we find the image, I'll come back to the video and comment that it is found.
Update as of 3/19/2023: Everyone, The Internet Archive might cease to exist within the coming days due to potential copyright infringement. If The Internet Archive/ Wayback Machine become defunct, the search might have to end, and we might lose the chance of ever finding the original unedited image of Jeff The Killer. I hope that the Internet Archive will be able to maintain their existence so not only can we have some assurance of finding the image soon, but also so we can continue to archive Internet anomalies and other Internet materials and media for days to come. Thank You.

The idea of the original image source of Jeff the Killer slowly fading with time is scarier than the creepypasta story itself.

Holy shit, I discovered your channel as an edgy 11-12 year old watching your Jeff the Killer video, I loved it. I'm 22 now and we've officially come full circle. Thanks for the nostalgia trip my dude.
It's absolutely wild to remember watching Mutahar's videos with my brothers late at night like Yume Nikke and shit. That and just piling around a tiny monitor and getting scared from a shitty story being told by some random dude playing various games on his creepypasta videos. Its a bit sad not knowing when I started watching beside a vague idea of at some point in 2012.
Fucking same man, I was 12 when I first discovered muta and now I'm 22
Same here bruh lol. Those were the good old days. 23 now
Mine was lsd dream emulator !
Same here, it's really weird looking back on it.
We have already found the origins of images such as The Rake, Smile dog and Ahenobarbus henocied, But for some reason Jeff the killer has been the hardest one since its so old. Some people has claimed to have made the image, but its show to be older than the people have been making it claming it to be. The closest clue we have is that some japanese websites had it way way back in the day, before it was close to being famous around rest of the world.
What's the origin of ahenobarbus henocied? The imagine freaks me out so bad i can't even google it lmfao
@@fatosirrelevantes The original picture of that picture is of an japanese doll that has been photoshopped to look like it does. The website (aka 2chan) that made that face used to do more stuff like that as a challange to make the face pretty.
You can search for it on youtube of its origins and you will find people talking about the original picture of the doll.
And yeah, the picture used to freak out alot of people back in the day.
@@triledink oooh!! Thank you so much for the explanation!
@@fatosirrelevantes No problem.
People found the origins of smile dog? Where do they come from?
I promise you Jeff came from the Japanese "Make me pretty" trend of the early 2000s, where 2channel would take a random image and make it "prettier" by photoshopping it to extreme levels.
Yeah it was a girl, and part of that trend but I can't remember the exact details lol.
Yep, this is the real answer
i’m sure it is too
I think I saw a video that had dates that go back to the late 90s in Japan
but how is that pretty?
That Image had probably ruined the most childhood friendships than any other image in the internet

This video made me so nostalgic for when I would watch Muta's era of creepypastas and haunted gaming when I was younger. It's so hard to think that a lot of those videos came out over 10 years ago now.
I was on shrooms when someone sent me the screamer. I watched this thing crawl out of my floor and to this day it’s embedded in my psyche. I’m permanently haunted by this demon.
🤣
Holy shit. Dude that must've been such a horrible experience, I can't imagine what that would've done to me while on psychedelics. Bad trip is an understatement.
that’s tight from a art perspective
Love me some 🍄
Damn that fucked up bad😭 I’ve taken acid n had a friend send me horror memes but never really messed me up like that
Ig it affects everyone differently
If they knew you were on shrooms, that's diabolical
I swear it's actually just an edited image of a Japanese woman
Yeah
From what I remember, this is correct.
pretty sure that was deconfirmed
I think it's of a Chinese singer called teresa teng instead I have seen a photo of her that looks the same as the jeff image
Isnt it from a commercial too?
It's interesting that most of those leads don't actually contradict each other. Those guys are probably telling the truth, but even with that piecing it all together isn't going to be easy.

Man never thought we would be talking about Jeff the killer and those retro creepypastas in 2023. What a time to be alive.
I didn't think we'd get to the point where JtK is considered "retro". I feel old.
The fact that no one (at the moment) knows exactly where this image first popped up is crazy to me
When you think about how the internet actually works with a bunch of server towers holding info and how many independent websites and forums poped up in the 90s and 00s it begins to make more and more sense how we've probably lost like 80-90% of everything ever posted to the internet. Same thing probably goes for television and movies around the world throughout the years.
Someone knows. lol

@@donthaveaname1086 I was about to say that's not possible considering if you just search for "original image of Jeff the killer" then all of these less washed out versions show up with far more human structures and features but it turns out that most of those examples are from a photoshop contest trying to mock up what the original might look like lol oh well smh

I'm better than SomeOrdinaryGamers, my content is better
The original post was by a girl on 4chan, who was asking for tips on her makeup, and said make me pretty or something I can’t remember, as well as telling the thread how she felt like she needed something else to look good, the entire thread clowned on her by editing her pics to these images, such as jeff the killer
this is the story i seemed to have figured out by my research and from the unedited image ive seen personally, although it was years ago and while the details were the same, i couldnt say for sure. she appeared to just be a classic asian woman smiling, and sorry to say but I don’t have the image anymore as I scrolled past it not thinking too much of it
What's interesting is that this image became popular around the early 2000s soon after a popular culinary researcher in Japan, Sonoko Suzuki, passed away in December 2000. She was famous at the time for her super white face and bright red lips.
I'm not saying that she's the source of the image, but I wouldn't be surprised if she had some influence in the way the image was edited. I found a random Japanese reddit comment that stated that they remember seeing a 2ch thread long time ago that apparently was all about editing random images to resemble Sonoko Suzuki.
Isn't it an edited photo of the overly attached girlfriend or whatever?
I'm better than SomeOrdinaryGamers, my content is better
No, she was a beauty researcher obsessed with obtaining white skin. But the rest I agree with.
She has already been debunked I’m pretty sure
@@anusaukko6792
It predates that meme
I saw a video on the origin of that face years ago. Apparently it was some kind of Online Forum in Japan or korea, where someone took a picture of their friend pulling a stupid face, someone else said they looked weird and edited it to make it look more disturbing, it then became a kind of meme here users of the forum would one up eachother to make the face look as terrifying as possible until the final result we have here.
Is the site called Tieba?
this sounds very likely, but U still need the original kids face that was edited
What? I remembered it was facebook
I think they found it, but they was not shure. I saw the documentary. Think it was a girl.
Edit: never mind. They say its not her. So its probably the Japanese woman as you say.
Exactly. I too have seen the origins explained years ago. If I would know it will be still relevant in 2023, I would be taking notes back then. This mystery has been solved already, but everyone forgot and now it's a mystery again. Quite funny, actually.
Oh Muta. I remember being around 13 or 14 and watching your creepypasta videos for hours and hours every night. Good times.
Man haunted gaming days, I love those old videos and while cringy I will hold those memories fondly.
Anyone can live. Have the courage to die.

I started watching you when I was only 13, due to the creepy pasta readings. A whole decade ago, crazy to think about how much this channel has grown. It’s been pretty cool seeing how popular have become. I remember showing my brother and some friends you and my friend covering his face in a blanket out of fear, then a few months later him and I would lay down with headphones in and listen, and also to the mr creepy pasta guy.

It’s pretty realistic where my school is
Tokyo revengers rarely uses knives or guns. The only time i've seen a gun is when draken died.
According to ai, i searched up “where did the original Jeff the killer image come from?” it responded with this:
The original Jeff the Killer image was a photoshopped version of an existing photo of a character from the movie 'The Grudge 3'. In the original photo, the character is played by actress Jennifer Lyons. The photo has since been widely circulated online and has been parodied and replicated in various forms.
Man I miss the creepypasta era
same, i hope that one day those creepypastas that were made for actually scare people come back to life
We still have Internet-disseminated spooky legends like the Backrooms so it's not all different
The creepypasta era never died. The internet just grew to such a size that there is little overlap between communities. It's kind of like the birth of the universe when you think about it like that.
What about AI and creepy pasta ?

i remember having that same experience when i was younger but instead of jeff the killer, it was slenderman. i was always afraid he was going pop into my room and i constantly looked around to make sure he wasnt there
I need closure for that image, they better find it. I remember being 8 or 9 and being completely petrified by that image, through shock sites and creepypasta readings, losing nights of sleep. If they find it, my life will feel complete
As a kid, I was always scared by that face. Even now, as a grown up I am still scared of it. Well not as much but it creeps me out and could barely stare at it for a few seconds without freaking out.
However, I do find the whole investigation for the photo's origins very interesting.
man same...
For me it was Little Baby’s Ice Cream. Something was very off about it, but at least its origins are completely known
I remember i saw the original picture! Back in 2009 is was watching a Spanish loquendo video showing the beginnings of some creepypastas and the guy said "Jeff the killer comes from 4chan, a girl wanted to get her photo edited to look better but people painted her face white and make her a meme instead" and then show the original and the edited side by side. Of course i was a 7 years old kid so i have no idea if that video even exists anymore. It might be on 4chan (?
Edit: I kept thinking on the video, i could swear the original came from 4chan
Oh man, this is massive nostalgia. I had Jeff The Killer stuff as profile pictures for my facebook account when I was like 10, maybe other social media accounts to like Messenger or Skype.

Man this image used to scare the shit out of me back in 2012.
I always wondered the origins of this photo just like everyone else. I have hope that the original photo will be found, despite many dead ends it has brought. If people were that dedicated to unearthing something like the Game Over screen origins from Hong Kong 97, even after the creator himself said he had no idea where it came from originally and he wanted people to let it go, then I have full confidence something like the Jeff the Killer origin picture can get the same treatment with enough investigation and research from the community.
It’s going to be interesting to see a follow up video if the day ever comes!
Thats actually a good point. These supposed "contests" and we havent found any other variations or participants besides that ghoulish looking one. Theres only like 3 known versions of the image. When supposedly many were editing the image.
I’m convinced it’s not the contest. Look up harisenbon it’s a female comedy duo one girl her mouth looks almost exactly the same.. I’m pretty sure it’s connected to them.. japan is mean…n they made fun of this comedian alot
I remember going down the rabbit hole of the original Jeff the killer image I remember hearing that it was for the movie saw then seeing that it was a Japanese mask that has been altered heavily then seeing that it was some lady’s face from a commercial that someone photoshopped and on and on it’s honestly a really good rabbit hole to go down. Also this image and smile.jpeg still scare me to this day I’m a grown ass adult but there’s just something about those two images specifically that still get me I still have to look away sometimes when the images pop up nothing else has really gotten to me more then these images
I want a crossover video of Muda and Blameitonjorge

OMG I remember that website, it basically earraped you and gave you a free epilepsy test.

happened to me like 3 months ago. It was so loud
For me, the image got ruined by that one ai-generated photo that turned it into an anime girl and now I just immediately burst into laughter every time I see the original because my brain automatically turns it into an anime girl 💀
It would be awesome if you went back to your roots in haunted gaming and creepy pastas when it's October.
I never would have thought that the image would still be mentioned so far later, good luck finding out who made it, and the origin.
So glad you’ve done this. I love lost media preservation and this puts so much more attention onto this topic
I totally remember having a copy of old school Photoshop Elements burned onto a CD from my grandma who had it. We got to use it for free cuz there were less securities on the disc so you could make copies. Pity you can't anymore but it was possible in the late 90s, early 00s.
Photoshop was absolutely available in the late 90's/early 2000's through p2p. You could also find sites with it broken into like 1000 parts to download and then merge back together. But most people (like myself) just bought bootleg versions for $10 from ebay. And most computers could run it. Not entire relevant to the conversation; but you were questioning these things in the video.
Every investigator who contributed has balls of steel in my eyes. I could never willingly look at Jeff the killer images constantly
Meh, after looking at them for long enough, you probably become pretty numb.
@@theflaminglionhotlionfox2140 No It's been 10 years for me and it's just gotten worse.
Based on the possible origins of the 4chan profile image, why not try to recreate the image of the Japanese woman they refer to and try an image search? The original might have been someone's profile page bio pic, or in their personal gallery. Those were becoming ubiquitous around the 2000s I think.
There aren't and have never been profile pictures or profiles/accounts in general on 4chan if that's what you mean. You can't track people's posts since it's all anonymous.

@@box2572 Not on 4chan, I meant like other sites, like myspace and such. Even dating sites or profile sites specific to Japan or the Asian countries. Galleries of personal photos in personal profile sites like that might be the key, but an as close to unadulterated image similar to the one described as the progenitor image used in a google search might hit something. The problem is recreating a verisimilitude of the woman described and lightening the background to a closer probable representation of the image as taken by that woman.
@@unkleturpis9253 In 2005 internet? That barely existed. All such sites are closed down by now and many of them have not been archived. You had to be a tech genius to know how to transfer your photos on your camera to your PC, profile pictures were not a thing really except on forums.
I still remember me and my friends in elementary school hanging out in the halls during basketball games talking about our favorite creepypastas. Good times. My best friend to this day is a big Jeff the Killer fan. Owns a knife collection and all. He and I used to argue on the playground about whether Jeff or Slenderman was the better character.
Concerning that an elementary school kid owns a knife collection.
@@Silvia.Araujo Everyone else in town thought so to so you’re not alone. He still has ‘em to this day. Sorry that his hobbies scare people ig. Not our fault everyone’s so lily-livered they can’t stand the sight of kids admiring fine craftmanship.
@@fdsajfldaskjf 😂🤨
I literally subscribed years ago for the creepypasta readings. And stuck around because i enjoyed what you've done since then. It's wild to think about how long I've watched your content.
Can’t believe this picture is as old as me. I remember being 10/11 in 2012 obsessed with creepypastas. I miss that era of the internet from the mid 2000’s - 2014 when it felt like a ghost would literally come out of the screen. Very 009 dreamscape era youtube. I hope one day we find the origin of the image but I fear that it’s last in time like binary code in the rain.
The internet in 2001-2006 is unmatched.
009 DREAMSCAPE 😮😮😮😂😂
Yeah I miss it.
It was an album cover on limewire. I don’t think it was used professionally but it was used as a placeholder
I remember vividly not being able to sleep cus of this and smile dog
The internet is incredible, we have people who are basically archeologists, archivists, and historians but for the internet.
If I remember correctly, it was a girl who was at a party (could be wrong there), and someone was filming. The girl got close and someone took an image of her. I believe they made the image brighter in a photoshop or something, and the saturation was changed a bit, and maybe some other things. It was a video taken in Asia.
From what I’ve heard, it was in Japan
Can't lie, I kinda miss how popular Creepypastas were in the early to mid 2010s, as well as the amazing webseries shows like Marble Hornets.
Oh those were the days
@@sanorii9573 they really were
I just found a possible lead in the form of a twitter icon from an account registered in 2021. The image is low quality but it is an Asian woman, overweight, no makeup, flash-on. She has the snaggle toothed gummy smile that the Jeff image has but it doesn't appear to belong to the OG image as the placement is slightly off. However the shape of the face and the messy clothes in the background are the same as Jeff.
Reddit user /u/ onepumpkinhead made a post 9 months ago that shows that Jeff is a composite of the Asian woman's webcam photo and a young girl w a toothy smile. Possibly solved?
Damm bro I didn't think I would be in for a nostalgic trip! You should do a creepy pasta some time for old times sake
He still does them, he's covered the backrooms for example which is a creepypasta.
Creepypasta muta is back, we live in a simulation.
God, the way Jeff the Killer had 12 y/o me in a choke hold in 2011-2012. I was such a JTK anime boy fangirl and spent hundreds of hours downloading drawings from deviant art to clog my dumb little blackberry phone.
If you had a Jeff the Killer drawing on Deviant with lots of faves between 2011 to 2015, I probably had it saved on my phone and I stared at it daily. Smooch from me to you.
I never read the original creepypasta on its own, I just watched the video internet historian made on it while getting the number 15 guy to voice Jeff.
My theory that the image was made either yes, to make fun of someone who was ugly, or it was made for fun. The original image was probably never shared publicly instead the anonymous just shared the edited version. A few of those images were probably edit test. The anonymous was probably playing around with some editing tools using some images. Once he or she was done It was probably posted on 4Chan. After the image was uploaded who knows if the anonymous person had simply abandoned its account. Possibly made a new account because forgotten its password or username.
I of course can be completely wrong on this. But we are talking about the early days of the modern internet. Very old accounts were being made back then. I can tell at least someone was new to the internet. Probably forgot they had an account, barely logged back in on its computer.
I'm better than SomeOrdinaryGamers, my content is better
That's a possibility
You don't need an account to post in an anonymous board
@Verm hi
i actually remember hearing years ago that the editted images were made by multiple people to mock a woman, but it was so long ago i dont remember where i heard that.
I didn't expect this to go so deep! thats insane wow
I always thought it was just a heavily modified version of the "Obsessive GF" meme that was popular in the late 2000s
Overly Attached Girlfriend? 2010s, actually.
Jeef: 2005
Overly attracted GF meme: 2010s
what a throwback! miss creepypasta c:
Why the f did I just watch this whole video? Because this was inspiring. Love the content!
This was a great vid Muta! I’d love to see more like it. The videos where you have such a passion for like this are always amazing and so well done.
That image is creepy AF. I don't want to know where it came from
I always assumed someone just ms painted the face and eyes white and then just pasted two mouths on top of each other
Aw what a cutie
Not a fun sight as a 10 year old. Clicked a link that was a screamer. Jeff the killer still gets me because it takes me back to that night.
@@Veroxzes I am too late on discovering and hearing about this lmao. I used to encounter this, I think it was probably back in 2019-2020. It was when I played one of the horror mazes on roblox. This is uniquely haunting to me ngl. I guess it's kinda good because if I saw one of those images abruptly as a kid, I would be crying and probably traumatized.
I still get spooked by it ngl
I was autistically obsessed with creepypastas as a kid. I thought they were real and I could somehow befriend them. This was when I was around 13-16.
good to know
I still stand by the fact that I like the story, not because it's good, but because it was one of the things that introduced me to horror as a kid, back in the simpler days I loved it, and it still makes me nostalgia.
Jeff the Killer used to keep me up at night when I was a young kid. The story itself was meh but the pictures of him still kind of haunt me to this day. Even though I know it's fake, there's still something eerie about it.
itd be funny if the original poster of the unedited image is just watching this all go down and not saying anything
If it really was some Japanese girls profile pic shopped by a rando you'll never find her. Though with how widespread the image was/is its strange the person who did it hasn't come forward. But then again its been 20 years, they could have died for all we know.
that's the scary, and also sad part about anything related to content from so long ago, over time, computers break, people die, and content can easily be lost. It's like looking into a different world
It's also 100% possible the person has never seen the image, or even if she saw it she might not rememer it was an old image of hers.
