Ellen's videos never fail to make me laugh out loud. Jake's one of two characters she was originally considering playing - the other one was more like recently evicted supporting character Heidi - and I'm so glad Jake was the one that made it to the screen. Now in Full Goblin Mode edition!

Have the Big Brother audience created a monster?

Uh oh, Jake's gone rogue! Since the audience saved him from eviction he's been acting like he can get away with anything. But now that the housemates have put him up for eviction again, are the viewers going to be as sympathetic to Prankster Grandpa Jake as they were to Everyone's Lovely Granddad Jake?

I'm at season 4 in my current Magnus replay and these are all excellent and accurate

Jon in season 4 gives up all pretenses of trying to work on archiving and starts to make shitty memes of his past experiences as one

[ID: A collection of in-universe TMA memes.

1. An anime man labeled “Me (Jonathan Sims)” gestures to a butterfly labeled “Recording statements” while smiling naively. He asks: “Is this archiving? (Genuinely asking).”

2. Kermit, labeled “past me (Jonathan Sims)” looks at a hooded evil Kermit labeled “current me (Jonathan Sims) who says, "Don’t accept the promotion, for the love of god.”

3. A meme of rapper Xzibit smiling at the viewer with the top and bottom text: “Hello dog, I heard you like horror, / so we put horror statements in your already horror filled job so you can be scared while you are already scared.”

4. A doge meme. Doge smiles and is labeled with the rainbow words “Tea,” “So nice,” “Very fluffy,” “Martin blackwood,” and “Great assistant.”

5. Two pieces of paper labeled “Sasha” and “Not Sasha” are presented with the caption “Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture.” The next panel shows Pam Beesly, labeled as “I’m sad (Jonathan Sims)” smiling and saying: “They’re the same picture.”

6. The old fist bump baby meme with a radial background. Top and bottom text reads: “I saw / Martin Blackwood today (It was from far away but it was still something).”

7. The “they don’t know” meme, which shows simplistically drawn people dancing in a room as a neutral-faced man wearing a party hat stands apart from them in the corner. The man is labeled “Me (Jonathan Sims)” and says: “They don’t know what’s happening here,” and the dancers are labeled “The rest of the Institute.”

8. A rage comic of a wrinkled face smiling with strain against a dark background. Top and bottom text reads: “This one is called forever alone. I feel as though this is very apt to my (and Martin’s) situation.”

9. A kid fist-pumping in front of a computer with the Impact text “When a statement records digitally.”

10. A picture of commentator Steven Crowder sitting at a table in a park. A sign taped to the front of the table is edited to read: “The Admiral is the best cat / Change my mind.” End ID]

He might know what a meme is but he's so bad at it

After the Strange and Norrell affair, and the coincident return of magic to England

1. Every time the York Society convenes to study Vinculus, he insists on discomfiting them all by disrobing in a decidedly ... sultry manner, involving lots of eye contact and visible tongue movement.

2. Having a mirror in your house is the height of risque recklessness. Lord Byron has one in every room, and five in the bedroom. It is not considered respectable for your house or your carriage to have clean windows. On mornings after rain, even the naturally antisocial look passers-by in the eye in greeting, rather than risk glimpsing a reflection in a puddle.

3. Bell Strange and Emma Wintertowne, the former Lady Pole, roam the continent investigating writings and sightings concerning Faerie. Others were imprisoned in Lost Hope; other faeries are surely abroad in England, making other bargains; and of course there’s Jonathan. Strange and Wintertowne have no intention of ever again being taken unawares. When eventually their quest takes them back to England, they’ll be prepared.

4. The Black King of Lost Hope observes their escapades through fountains and rain, looking forward to the day they find their way back to him; though he knows it will be, in the main, to ask service of him again. He hasn’t yet decided what his answer will be.

5. Many an adventurer has entered the house of Gilbert Norrell seeking the truth about that day. Many are still missing. Those who return, return to some degree mad. It seems that, absent Mr Norrell’s tending, the labyrinth around the library is growing wild. Its twists and turns are said to echo with the flutter of ravens’ wings.

6. Slowly, subtly, John Childermass cedes his role as ambassador-convenor of England’s magical societies to Segundus and Honeyfoot, and returns to the shadows. Attempt to abuse English magic - to use it to harm, cheat or control others - to bring it, in other words, into disrepute once again - and you are wont to discover a scarred man in the nearest dark corner, glowering. Show contrition and he will simply direct you to your local society, where you may learn honour from your betters. Attack him, and he’ll do you the honour of teaching you a little lesson himself.
