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.

Nick: Its Miley! (authors note: In this series Miley doesnt like Nick, she is just their..lets say, bridge to love, they all become bffs but lets continue the story first ) Kevin: And her back-up dancer! Joe: She must have done something wrong! Miley:But babe! I’m just friends with Cody, that was just the kissing scene in Hannah Montana. Dancer:I cant bare to hear anymore excuses, Miley! Miley:Ugh! I cant take it anymore!*storms off and sees the JB and the girls* Nick:Back off, woman! Miley: But as you can see Nick, i dont like you anymore. Nick: Oh..sorry… Joe:Maybe she’s after me…*in a karate position* the girls(except Miley):Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhh…. Miley:course not! Joe: Oops sorry Miley… Miley: Its okay..im just so mad! So..you guys are these beautiful girls your girlfriends? JB:(all at the same time)noooooooooooo….hehe….*they laugh* Alexis: We didnt introduce ourselves yet..Im Alexis…nice to meet you.. Ada: I’m Ada… Lorelai: Sup…I’m Lorelai…u can call me Lory Hailey: Hi I’m Hailey… Miley: You girls are so pretty! Girls: thanks you too! Miley:Thank you! Girls: ur very nice too… MIley: you too… JB: i can see ur getting along… *they hear a scream from one of the girls*

LOL Who screamed? Is it Miley again? You’ll have to find out… Sorry its uber short… ~emogurl810~

Now that we know that Miley is but a mere “bridge to love,” and that in the end everyone is BFFs, what incentive do we have to keep reading? It seems emogurl810 had jumped the narrative gun, but perhaps she’s just working on a level that transcends traditional story structure. The more puzzling matter at hand is actually the introduction of the Miley Cyrus character. As you may recall, Miley–or at least a picture of Miley–played the role of Hailey in the first episode. So are we to presume that there’s actually another actress playing the part of Miley Cyrus? While Miley continues her role as Hailey? Or does the actress playing Hailey just look like Miley Cyrus? The mind boggles.

The only thing I can work out here is that Miley, in a chillingly Britney Spearsesque fashion, is dating her backup dancer, who’s none too pleased about her kissing scene with Cody in the Hannah Montana movie. Miley rightly rejects this immature unprofessionalism and storms off into an encounter with the Jo. Bros. and the triplets. From there the story devolves into a series of introductions and face-affirming compliments. This installment is by far the weakest, ending on yet another “who’s screaming?” cliffhanger that’s neither as exciting or original as last episode’s pizza questions.

The video is no improvement, either. This time emogurl810 didn’t even bother with the seemingly random text animations (“Good Job!” “Whoa!” etc.). There is a picture of the middle Jonas in a popped-collar purple polo shirt, but it’s just not enough to carry the entire video. Plus, who’s that girl with the dog at the end? A disappointing turn for the JoBromance. Let’s hope episode 4 gets things back on track.
