Cobson is the shiniest, most glistening gemerald to ever be posted on the Sharty!
Cobson is a primary Soyjak variant. He is visually based on the character Jobe Smith from the 1992 science fiction horror film "The Lawnmower Man"[a][5]. He first appeared on 4chan's /qa/ board in June 2021.
Jobe's model that Cobson was traced from was developed by Angel Studios, now known as Rockstar Games[6]. Cobson's features include 2 thick eyebrows, irises on the eyes, a well-kept stubble, an average sized forehead, and a masculine facial structure. Compared to other soyjaks, Cobson is much more masculine and dominant, and more open to sexual activity. His existence fulfills many niches in soyjak creation, contributing to his popularity.
Cobson first arose in June 2021, where he quickly gained a controversial reputation. A lot of soyjak critics at the time derided this soyjak as coal[7][8][9] and most didn't really care about it, though a minority of critics saw it as very gemmy and dubbed it a "God tier wojack"[10]. However, a critical reevaluation soon followed after Cobson stole the 10 millionth GET on /s4s/.[11] Along with 2 of the most popular music artists on the Sharty, 6ixϪhrembo[12] and David Thoughie, being Cobsons themselves, Cobson is now widely dubbed by soyjak critics as one of the greatest soyjaks of all time, and some even deem him to be the G.O.A.T, though there are a minority of critics that still think that he is coal. This critical appreciation led Cobson to win Ϫ Oscars, 13 Emmys, a 9.8 rating on IMDB, a 9.5 rating on MyAnimeList, 6 stars on Letterboxd, and a 14.88/10 rating on RateYourMusic.[it just is, ok?]
However, with Cobson's newfound popularity, some more malicious forces decided to use this "God tier wojack" for their own deranged purposes. Some trannies decided to make QoS edits of innocent Cobson, and the heretical belief that he is a "slut for BBC" soon emerged among the sharty's transgender population. Along with edits of Cobson depicting him as a rapist called Rapeson[13][14][15], his reputation became tainted among soyteens.
He is still mostly regarded as a gem doebeit, and the bone-chilling, spine-tinging, genre-redefining vidya game called Five Nights at Cobson's has been released by renowned game developer Froot Cawthon and his team in order to honor him.[16]
HWABAG (They KNEW He Was A Gem in 2010)
HWABAG is short for “He Will Always Be A Gem”. Though commonly used to refer to Cobson, it is also sometimes used for other controversial variants.
On the 25th of March 2010, long before the days of 'Jakking, The Lawnmower Man was praised for being the GEM it is, however, even back then, Cobson has had his fair share of disbelievers.
History
According to the original image's EXIF data,[17] Cobson was created on June 6th, 2021 at 14:34:35 EST by someone using Adobe Photoshop Elements 13.0 on Windows. He was subsequently posted on /qa/ at 17:03:41 EST the same day under the filename "lawnmower soy.png", with the accompanying caption: "ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK"[2]
He released to overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics,[7][8][9] although this was mostly down to one schizo spamming "shit tier wojack [sic]" in every Cobson thread.[18][b] As the months went on, however, Cobson obtained a cult following among some soyteens, who hailed him as a "god tier wojack".[10] As a result, the debate of whether he is coal or gem remains a hot topic among soyteens to this day.[19]
Cobson got his name on September 4th, 2021 as a contraction of Jacobson,[20] a nickname for soyjaks that was briefly used at the time.[21]
In his farewell Q&A, Kuz stated that Cobson was his favorite 'jak.[22]
On October 26th, 2023 Chris Chan was convinced by a 'teen to give Cobson a public endorsement, however due to being severely retarded he mispronounced it as Cobscon instead. It was nonetheless celebrated as a Cobson win.[23]
Music Career
Cobson's career as a musician was jumpstarted when he received a number of edits depicting him as a rapper.[24][25][26] From there, he starred in an unusual number of song parodies on the Soyjak Party Video Archive. His early work was a little too new wave for my taste, but when Gem Cobity released in '21? I think he really came into his own, both commercially and artistically. He's been compared to Svenska Beat, but I think Johbson has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
David Thoughie
In 2021 and 2022, Cobson's disassociate personality David Thoughie released two parody songs, Gem Cobity and Cobman, both to widespread critical acclaim.
Multiple chuds have admitted to listening to these songs "unironically", including one YouTube reviewer who described it as an "actual gem",[27] and another who hailed it as "Perhaps the greatest gem ever mined and cut thus far".[28]
In January 2022, Cobman was nominated for a Nobel Prize in Literature (even doe it's a song and not a book).[29]
Cobbo
Cobbo, also known as Cob Gang, is a popular parody song whose lyrical content offers a scathing critique on the human soyndition (soy condition), delivered in the high art of mumble rap.
It is extremely popular; as of February 2022 it is the most viewed video on the Soyjak Party Video Archive. Cobbo, and by extension Cobson himself, is one of only a couple things to ever receive the rare honour of starring on the Soyjak Party homepage, the highest award Soot could bestow.
/s4s/ incident
Main article: Swaglord
The use of Cobbo's lyrics as material for post n°10000000 on /s4s/[30][31] was considered by many onlookers to have immortalized Cobson into a gem; GEMson: Coalson redeemed. This was also a massive Brazilian victory and it made Swaglord go on one of the biggest janny seethe sessions ever documented.
Other songs
In an attempt to capitalise on the surprise success of 'Cobbo, Cobson produced an unofficial sequel Gemmy,[12] as well as a nutwave re-release of the original.[32] Despite good reviews and mild popularity, these spin-offs failed to capture the runaway success of the original.
In January of 2022, Cobson collaborated with fellow singer-songwriter Nojak to produce a short audio sample titled 6ixϪhrembo & DJ Moose.[33]
The Great BBC Slander
Main Article: Spadeson
In late 2021 and early 2022 edits of Cobson began to appear on the Sharty, /bant/ and the Booru depicting Cobson as a “BBC Slut,” Cobson was being spammed on /qa/ at the same time vidya butts was being spammed. Someone added a queen of spades tattoo to the vidya butts image with ">noooo you cant just take the image i spam and put a spade tattoo on it" which was then used for Cobson. At the same time, there was a spammer who would flood every thread containing Cobson with "shit tier wojack" because he didn't like the gaps between his teeth, his oval head shape, and long nasolabial folds. He saw this as an opportunity to do the same thing to Cobson and made more spade edits to try and deface the variant. Unironic bibisi cucks would then join in making more extreme edits like cob sovl
On July 24th, 2022, Kuz announced that Cobson BBC spam is no longer allowed, marking a temporary end for BBC slander on the Sharty. [34][35] Since the Kuz era has passed, Spadeson spam has been re-legalized, and there are incidents of the 'log being spammed with Spadesons to this day.
Cobinisation
Cobinisation (British English; or cobinization in American English) is a phenomenon observed in the soy community whereby previous edits featuring non-Cobson variants eventually resurface as Cobsons.
If this trend continues, scientists estimate that all soyjaks will be Cobsons by the year 2033.
Subvariants
NuCob
NuCob is a popular edit of Cobson that's mostly used in wholesome edits due to the angry nature of Cobson. NuCob was first posted on /qa/ on October 12th 2021 following the massive success of Cobson.[36]
Alongside the usual wholesome edits, some edits depict NuCob as Cobson's son.[37] You may have noticed that he has Feraljak's eyes.
Rapeson
Main article: Rapeson
Rapeson, also known as Evilson is an ominous subvariant of Cobson that was first posted on /soy/ on August 15th, 2022. He is commonly depicted as a disturbingly evil character that commits acts of extreme cruelty, such as rape and murder.[14][13][15]
Female Cobson
Main article: Female Cobson
Female Cobson or Cobette is a blanket term for any female variant of Cobson. The original variant of Female Cobson was proportionally the same as the original Cobson, without nasolabial folds or stubble and with a hat and hairstyle similar to Female Gapejak.
In February 2023, user Sectionalism uploaded a new variant to the 'ru which featured a more feminine head and face, as well as a Queen of Hearts symbol on her hat. This variant rose in popularity and largely replaced the old variant
Baby Cobson
Spadeson
Main article: Spadeson
Vantablack coal used mainly for racebaiting. Popular on the booru to the surprise of nobody.
Nig
Main article: Nig
Nig or Narge, originally Cob 2, is a subvariant of Cobson traced from the guy on Rome: Total War's cover art. The name was decided in a thread where dubs named him and Nig got dubs twice.
He is the cousin of Cobson[He just is, ok?] This variant has since become dead.
In Popular Culture
Cobson was subtly referenced in the 2022 movie The Batman[38]
Cobson is also the name of a French indie band.[39] Jewgle won't give me any more info on them (possibly CIA intervention), so no source is available. (Even though the band has a biography on lastfm you selfish little fuck) [40]
A slowburn, thought-provoking, no cheap-jumpscares video game called Five Nights at Cobson's was announced to be in development in order to honor Cobson.[16] A trailer was released [41], and the demo of the game itself released soon after. After months of delays, the full game finally released on May 27th, 2024.[42] The game featured Cobson and variants as enemies and characters in FNAC. With the usual detractors for any game, it's generally agreed that Cobson was represented fairly.[43]
The one who gave birth to Cobson in the first place
Stephen King is the creator who brought Cobson into existence in *The Lawnmower Man*. In the original book, it was just a short story and did not follow the plot of the movie.
However, it was adapted into a film, but Stephen King hated the movie so much that he requested his name be removed from the credits
