They are saying that because that guy wanted to die, saying he would reveal superman’s identity was clever as if he hadn’t said that, superman would have caught him and not let him die@@misanthropicisolation4013
The Batman Beyond episode 'Unmasked' has a similar concept with Terry removing his mask because a Kid is too frightened by his appearance to allow himself to be saved.
"You're not just some guy, friend, your life is just as important as anyone else's. So if that means saving it, then [revealing my secret identity]'s a risk I'm willing to take." And in just two sentences, Solid JJ has captured the essence of Superman better than most official DC media in the past decade+... in a parody video that ends in Superman deliberately convincing someone to kill themselves.
As sad as it is, that's because genuinely good characters are a joke nowadays. The idea that someone can put their lives on another's hands selflessly ends with a joke because doing it for realsies is too "corny" for media. I'm sure we can find some examples if we look deep enough, but it's not the norm.

The scene where Clark, completely unaware that he's borderline invincible, leaps in front of a barrage of lasers meant for Lois ("How'd you know you'd be bulletproof?" "I didn't.

The jumper was an a-hole, so after he said Mark Trent, Superman could have swooped down to save him. Then he would say, thanks, Clark Kent! And Superman would've been boned. Superman did the smart thing.

In one of the early Superman comics, Supes spends the whole issue thinking of OTHER identities he could adopt if his 'Clark Kent' identity was ever penetrated. Of course, this was before he spent his entire childhood with the Kents so it was essentially his 'real' identity. Supes considered taking the identity of a homeless guy (nobody notices them!) and a police officer (I'd have a reason to be on the scene!).
I've been a Superman fan since 1987, I watch and read and try to play anything that has that S-shield. This among the best Superman content in any media released in the last five years. Easily more fun than the Snyderverse.

ok but let's be for real, out of all the superheroes to try to threaten to expose, the one guy that can hear you from anywhere on the planet and show up to stop you in under the blink of an eye is probs not the best choice
He would probably still make sure the guy never said anything. If lex new his name he would go for his mom, we saw what happened in injustice where because joker knew the whole world was done for, and basically any villain would target all his loved ones. Superman is an amazing person but if you go for his family you’re screwed. We even see this in Superman and Lois when the guy pulled a gun on Lois he folded the dude.
It would mean Lois would likely get killed. Superman would probably laser the guy's brain and give him a lobotomy so that he either forgot what happened or was too mentally damaged to tell anyone. Still alive, though!
I'm not so sure about that. If Superman's secret identity were revealed, many villains would jump at the opportunity to exploit his social connections by threatening his friends, family, and loved ones. Would he sacrifice the safety and well-being of several dozen people he cares about, just to keep one stranger alive?
@@jackadams3878 while death is probably a bit overkill for what he did you really do have to be a special kind of asshole to turn around and gleefully decide to ruin the life of the guy that just told you his deepest secret *with no hesitation by the way* in an attempt to save your life
1:30 what if the guy was actually blackmailing superman into letting him jump? i know that that isn't what happens here but it's an interesting idea for a superman plot. it'd be a good test for superman and could showcase his deeper motivations/willingness to be self-sacrificial
The crazy thing is Superman could have totally saved the guy after he jumped after realizing he forgot his name, he can move at like the speed of light.
He flew to the Andromeda galaxy in just two hours. So can move at least 11 billion times faster than the speed of light. Billion with a B. Superman is just ridiculous.
That might have been a Gwen Stacy level of saving him, though. Superman is less shock-absorbent than concrete or steel, so he would need to fly in the same direction as the jumper and gradually slow them down (granted, many Superman comics/cartoons/etc... ignore this and have him catch people in ways that should greatly harm them). No idea what version of Superman they were using for this. Sometimes Superman needs a space suit/oxygen mask (DCAU, Lois & Clark, etc...) or can be hurt by more mundane things (Fleischer cartoons, post-crisis reboot, etc...). In the late 50's-the 60's he was basically unstoppable at basically everything.
To be fair, Superman gave him the will to live but at Supermans expense. Can't think of a better way to say thank you than by ruining someones way of life
plot twist: the guy told superman that he was going to tell everyone about his secret identity so that superman would let him jump thus achieving his goal
You know, Superman can just reverse the rotation of the Earth and turn back time and prevent any of this from happening, but that guy's life isn't important enough to go through the effort.

Almost everyone else I'm subbed to has become lazy as hell with their content, assuming if they haven't nearly given up and spend months in-between uploads. It's like they don't even try anymore.
I am with superman on this one. He does what is supposed to be the right thing, and then the person he helps threatens to destroy his life. I don't want a unhappy superman, we all know where that leads.
Some might find it morbid, and say superman killed this man - but let's be real here, the dude was talked into believing he could fly, so it's a miracle he didn't kill anyone else on his way down.
Honestly, that dude deserved it when he threatened Superman like that. I mean honestly here’s a superhero who is trusting you with his whole life because that’s how bad he doesn’t want you to jump. Here you are, a nobody to the world right now, and this super powered being literally cares enough to come out of his way for you when nobody else would and your gonna ruin his life just to make yours SLIGHTLY better. Even if he revealed Superman’s name, people would be more focused on Clark Kent then you the nobody. So theirs really no reason for him to do this both logically or emotionally, so I say he deserved it.
@@tomby_ There's a superhuman guy who opens up to you who could snap your neck like a twig quicker than you could blink and you want to betray his trust?
The fact that he didn't even remember Superman's name correctly and being thrown out last second as he jumped gave me such humungous whiplash holy crap that was perfect.
Jokes on you, he lived.... For long enough to reveal your clark kent to the da, your under arrest superman. Please don't make us call batman, we don't want to repair the roads again.
Mhm. So you tell someone something intentionally without even a NDA and because they then say they are going to use the information which you willingly gave them no-strings attached that means you are in the moral and legal right to actively deceive them into killing themselves. Look, its clear you didn't exactly spec for self awareness but I feel like if I need to point out that a stereotypical corrupt CEO who has a worker that "learns too much" and needs to be taken out is literally more justified than what you are straight as shit trying to justify as morally and legally ok, you might need to stop one tricking and spend your next perk points a bit more wisely.
@@internetguy7319 Not if the life being lost was about to ruin yours, clearly. What kind of mindset is that? A guy says “I am gonna rape your daughter”. Then he accidentally trips and hits his head on his own. You are both in the middle of a random alley with no one else there. Do you help him? Pretty obvious that no. Is letting a life being lost worse than rape? Objectively, it is. A life is definitely more valuable than anyone’s mental health or sexual dignity. But do you help someone who was about to hurt your family? No, you don’t. Legally, it’s your obligation to call an ambulance, but this time, passiveness wouldn’t be a problem because it’s more or less a variation of self-defence. And, morally, would ANYONE in the world blame this dad? No, they wouldn’t. Same thing. You don’t need to help someone who is about to ruin your life. That’s it. That’s all.
I laughed at "the wind" turning out to be super breath. A bit sad that the first minute of this until the blackmail occurs is more in-character for Clark than a lot of official writing though.
Jumping Jeff sounds like the name of some forgotten Golden Age supervillain that was too lame to use after 1 issue. Can't wait to see him in the new James Gunn Superman movie.
Made even funnier by the fact that Superman didn't even have to say anything to save the guy, he's physically capable of stopping him from falling at any moment. He tried to be nice because that's what he does, but I guess that was the wrong play.
When superman found out the guy thought his name was Mark Trent, he could've still saved him. I mean he's superman, he can fly faster than a bullet. He really said "fuck it, I still don't care enough"
He tried his best. I guess. Thanks for having me on!

Sometimes Superman needs a space suit/oxygen mask (DCAU, Lois & Clark, etc...) or can be hurt by more mundane things (Fleischer cartoons, post-crisis reboot, etc...). In the late 50's-the 60's he was basically unstoppable at basically everything.
For a second i expected the dude to actually, successfully start flying and leave Supes dumbfounded
To be fair, Superman gave him the will to live but at Supermans expense. Can't think of a better way to say thank you than by ruining someones way of life
plot twist: the guy told superman that he was going to tell everyone about his secret identity so that superman would let him jump thus achieving his goal
You know, Superman can just reverse the rotation of the Earth and turn back time and prevent any of this from happening, but that guy's life isn't important enough to go through the effort.
He'd still have to stop it in the past.
He did it just once in 1978 and it was a film.
Well... At least the actual Mark Trent, wherever he is, won't have to worry about every villain in the world coming after him now.
0:01 that firefighter looked like he has had enough 💀
What the heck.... *Subscribed.*
Seriously, you're more entertaining than 80% of the people on TH-cam I'm already subscribed to. This place is so frickin' broken. Seriously, my recommendations page is constantly full of the very same videos that have been on there for months now. I'm not even joking. There's like maybe four new recommendations on that long huge page every once in awhile. Almost everyone else I'm subbed to has become lazy as hell with their content, assuming if they haven't nearly given up and spend months in-between uploads. It's like they don't even try anymore.
Love how the guy didn’t even have the right name. 🤣
thats the joke
0:46 Honestly, I can kinda actually see Superman doing that.
"Let me rephrase that"-😂
I was already laughing in the first 5 seconds, great vid JJ keep up the hilarious work
I love how Superman didn't even attempt to reverse time. He just accepted that the guy was poised to jump.
He did it just once in 1978 and it was a film.
I am with superman on this one. He does what is supposed to be the right thing, and then the person he helps threatens to destroy his life. I don't want a unhappy superman, we all know where that leads.
He's misheard Superman name his identity is still saves
@@fikrijuanda6321but superman did not know that until the end
I mean that guy was hinting that he wouldnt be able to tell if he died
Like jumped off*
So yeah its all part of his plan
“Sir please step down from the building …..lemme rephrase that” fucking brilliant
3:03 Is… is Superman a terrorist?
I mean... If we are talking about Regime Superman then yeah, I guess...
Some might find it morbid, and say superman killed this man - but let's be real here, the dude was talked into believing he could fly, so it's a miracle he didn't kill anyone else on his way down.
"I think you should jump" moment
Honestly, that dude deserved it when he threatened Superman like that. I mean honestly here’s a superhero who is trusting you with his whole life because that’s how bad he doesn’t want you to jump. Here you are, a nobody to the world right now, and this super powered being literally cares enough to come out of his way for you when nobody else would and your gonna ruin his life just to make yours SLIGHTLY better. Even if he revealed Superman’s name, people would be more focused on Clark Kent then you the nobody. So theirs really no reason for him to do this both logically or emotionally, so I say he deserved it.
WHAT IF HE MEANT TO DO IT
Superman being genuinely kindhearted but then the dude being an ass
I honestly would have done the same.
@@tomby_ There's a superhuman guy who opens up to you who could snap your neck like a twig quicker than you could blink and you want to betray his trust?
@@tomby_ And this is why the world is how it is today
@@tomby_the same superman did, hight? The guy got what he deserved.
I mean I would have jumped or had done what superman did
Lmao he went through all of that and the guy didn't even hear his name right. What a great punchline to the joke.
Did the joker write this comment
You know, that's actually really relatable, and this is why heroes don't give their identities to anyone at all
“No, no, no. No God. The only man in the sky is me.”

It got kind of windy for a moment. Imagine Superman just casually blowing some air
Superman is the therapist when his patients card declines
This made me realize how you never see MARK TRENT & Superman in the same room 🤔
And this is how Superman learned to handle with this situation when he encountered it again in All Star Superman
Amother masterpiece. Thanks for all the effort making these, they really bring a bit of a laugh to some dark days.
2:26
bro, at this stage we’ve lost any hypothetical sympathy for you 😂😂😂
Holy shit that whole skit was amazing.
another certified Solid jj classic
Considering his trajectory, he almost did learn how to fly!
The fact that he didn't even remember Superman's name correctly and being thrown out last second as he jumped gave me such humungous whiplash holy crap that was perfect.
Jokes on you, he lived.... For long enough to reveal your clark kent to the da, your under arrest superman. Please don't make us call batman, we don't want to repair the roads again.
If someone literally threatens to ruin your life, then frankly, even legally, Superman isn’t completely in the wrong here.
Mhm. So you tell someone something intentionally without even a NDA and because they then say they are going to use the information which you willingly gave them no-strings attached that means you are in the moral and legal right to actively deceive them into killing themselves.
Look, its clear you didn't exactly spec for self awareness but I feel like if I need to point out that a stereotypical corrupt CEO who has a worker that "learns too much" and needs to be taken out is literally more justified than what you are straight as shit trying to justify as morally and legally ok, you might need to stop one tricking and spend your next perk points a bit more wisely.
Um, no.
@@mousermind
I’m objectively correct, though?
Legally, there’s no problem. This is self-defence.
Morally, it’s a life for a life.
@@LFanimes333Morally you are obligated to do anything you can to reduce the loss of life.
@@internetguy7319
Not if the life being lost was about to ruin yours, clearly.
What kind of mindset is that?
A guy says “I am gonna rape your daughter”. Then he accidentally trips and hits his head on his own.
You are both in the middle of a random alley with no one else there.
Do you help him?
Pretty obvious that no.
Is letting a life being lost worse than rape? Objectively, it is. A life is definitely more valuable than anyone’s mental health or sexual dignity.
But do you help someone who was about to hurt your family? No, you don’t.
Legally, it’s your obligation to call an ambulance, but this time, passiveness wouldn’t be a problem because it’s more or less a variation of self-defence.
And, morally, would ANYONE in the world blame this dad? No, they wouldn’t.
Same thing. You don’t need to help someone who is about to ruin your life.
That’s it. That’s all.
This is honestly my new favorite jj skit. Thanks for always putting out top notch content
This and the sandman one are my favorites
Fecking love when more people participate in these, it's hilarious❤😂
😭 Mark Trent LMAO. Is that another dimension’s version of Superman? Funny skit!
“I’m not asking anymore, jump”
I swear dude, your skits get better with every video, keep up the great work!
The therapist when your card declines:
I laughed at "the wind" turning out to be super breath. A bit sad that the first minute of this until the blackmail occurs is more in-character for Clark than a lot of official writing though.
I love how Superman had plenty of time to still save the guy after realising that he misheard his identity but didn't react
Bro the crazy thing is i saw this right after the "Homelander Chelsea incident."
I was half expecting for Superman to reverse time and try each and every option he could find to get this guy from falling down lol.
Jumping Jeff sounds like the name of some forgotten Golden Age supervillain that was too lame to use after 1 issue. Can't wait to see him in the new James Gunn Superman movie.
Made even funnier by the fact that Superman didn't even have to say anything to save the guy, he's physically capable of stopping him from falling at any moment. He tried to be nice because that's what he does, but I guess that was the wrong play.
Superman is such a kind person for helping the unfortunate fly 🥲
"You know what Chelsey, I think you should jump."
When superman found out the guy thought his name was Mark Trent, he could've still saved him. I mean he's superman, he can fly faster than a bullet. He really said "fuck it, I still don't care enough"
“Well you see my friend, there’s two ways to lower the number of depressed people”
