Born in 1954, John Kramer would eventually become the most iconic serial criminal that the Metropolitan Police Department would ever come up against. Although he is rarely the one to physically harm his victims, Kramer exhibits the behavior of a psychopath. The name Jigsaw derives from cutting Jigsaw pieces from the flesh of his failed victims as a symbol for the missing piece of their survival instinct.
Looking through his entire 52 year history, we can start to put together some of the puzzle that makes up the life of Jigsaw. The obscure details of his early life and his fascination with developing a religion or cult are just a few of the many pieces necessary to understand how the main antagonist of the Saw franchise came to be.
In this video, I’ll be analyzing the entire life of John Kramer, including his marriage to Jill Tuck, the creation of his games, the disciples he raised to carry on his legacy, and his ultimate downfall. We’ll also be looking at the traps, from the iconic reverse bear trap, to John’s personal favorite: the rack and more!
For my analysis, I’ll only using the canon material (the Saw films and short films: Full Disclosure Report and The Scott Tibbs Documentary). The other material, like the comic, Saw: Rebirth, and the video games, Saw and Saw II: Flesh and Blood, aren’t considered canon, but there are certain non-contradictory clues we can use from them to make inferences about John’s story. I’ll even use the Saw soundtracks for part of my analysis.
I believe this may be the most accurate timeline of the Saw universe on the internet!

Does anyone know if Lynn is the same actress in the last movie where they were stuck in the house with the poisonous gas?
A vulgar display of power
First off, THANK YOU for spending so much time on this. It’s my fav horror series!
Also, I appreciate that you really time your midrolls. Not many do that!
I wonder if his brain tumor, severe edema, and intracranial pressure could have triggered his psychopathy as well as his psychological/emotional trauma. It was found very late in the game and his brain was living with prolonged oxygen deprivation which is why he needed the surgery on his skull to release the intracranial pressure. I wonder if things would have been different for him if it had been caught early on.
The makeup is cringey..
The razor plot….check out uk horror movie takes from the crypt…..oapz and dog story…..
ive learned from my exes to never be nice to a damned drug addict. all they care about is their next fix.
John would be a sociopath; he has a true understand of right and wrong. Where psychopaths simply cannot understand the difference.
You literally took the piss out of cancer patients ..I’m not on about "John , jigsaw " …yiu literally laughed at cancer patients in general…dressed as a dummy . Pretty fitting fir you mate..
So my theory on the voicemail and why he left it on Daniel’s phone is because that’s basically the main lifeline that Matthews had to his son; through his phone. Because he’s been kind of an absent dad, he communicates through texts or calls so it makes sense to me he would call Daniel’a phone immediately so Jigsaw changing the voicemail would mess with him the most.
I GOT A MATTRESS COMMERCIAL 😂
Got a damn mattress commercial…
I would just have tried to be bff with John Kramer so he won’t murder me in one of the brutalest ways
The host dressed as Billy is creepy Af 🤣
1:00:21 I don’t even think helped himself. He became completely delusional, lost his wife, etc.
Almost named my youngest Tobin or Gideon! (Went with Gabriel tho)
Brilliant film series from a story lure perspective.
You deserve a like & sub for your hard work on this 🧩 🐷 🔪 🦶🏻✂️🔐🩸⚙️⚙️⚙️⚙️🛠⛏🪛🔧🔨⚒⛓⛓⛓⛓⚙️⚙️⚙️
10:28 – Savage Edit.
Such a thorough video, love it!
I can’t be the only one who actually pressed skip ad when that sasquatch popped up.
Ive noticed the man that wrote or directed these movies, hes a psychopath, im satanist, im from norway, almost 33, and i can read people, he has demons, probably a pact, and hes turned on, by making movies about violence or torture,, why ? cus hes secretly a broken soul, broken guy, his only reward is money, nothing else, i bet if i asked him private, he would admit he has some kind of issues, and to have me not tell anyone, exactly…….
Excellent timeline, following the backward chronology of Jigsaw and the best horror-serie ever. Thank you very much!
You really entertained me through the whole documentary.🔝🔝🔝
bro that’s not a saw blade that’s called a Scalpel
The Dead Meat reference tho lol
You’d be surprised sometimes where you can pick up real science n random facts..always felt school was just not as fast as tv…I’d see it first on TV then school would cover it..surprisingly often
Lol..the mattress..
BRUUUUUH THE AD GOT ME 💀💀
Colon cancer? Wasn’t it a brain tumour? The lady surgeon had to operate on his brain not his Colon JS
I hate jigsaw. Like, you’re not some kind of god to punish the sinners. Just let the law take care of them
I literally said wow at the end of this video… How outstanding! You’re amazing at telling the whole history and making this video! Amazing job and thank you!! 🥰
Of course, john would remember fake jigsaw survivor face from such a short meeting. Fake survivor is famous. If I met Stephen King at a book signing, I would always remember what he looks like. Granted Stephen King is way more popular so some authors that aren’t as well known like Joe Hill or Paulo Coalho. Meeting anyone that has some huge affect on your life is a person you’re likely to remember what they look like if the meeting is done in a well lit casual setting
he kinda bad
Cz’s has a hidden anarchirst sybol in his video 🙂
I mean if there was a slight chance I’d wake up in one of his rooms ima be helping all the granny’s to cross the streets but then he’d still take my ass because it wasn’t pure or some shit lol
This is excellent. I always thought putting these movies in the actual order would be great. This is awesome, and humorous. Great job and indepth.
WHY IS THERE A NIKADO AVACODO CLIP HERE?! 😭💀
Bro but y u dressed up like jigsaw ☠️😂😂😂😂
Good but cut the "comedy" it’s cringe and takes away from the actual content
Gideon was killed by being crushed by a door in utero and John developed untreatable cancer, 2 lives doomed for death despite wanting to live, John targeted people who weren’t taking care of themselves and abusing the gift of life that he and his unborn son didn’t have an option to have so I think some of the driving force behind his actions was definitely spite
But being that the normal, humanitarian John was still somewhere in there he convinced himself what he was doing was an act of grace meant to make the person appreciate their option to live and thus save their life
I would just have tried to be bff with John Kramer so he won’t murder me in one of the brutalest ways
Gideon wasn’t a miscarriage. At 7 months along he would be a stillbirth. And people do bury stillborn children.
I don’t really think you understand what it feels like to be absolutely destroyed my the "healthcare industry ". Its clear when you say he’s just irrationally looking for people when he chooses the hospital staff. Wait till it happens to you, and you may understand that rage yourself someday.
How could he rely on that serum to help him pretend to be dead in the bathroom? I use narcotics and sedatives all the times and I snore, fart, hiccup and twitch like a mofo in my drug induced comas lmao 🤣 😂 id be a really shit jigsaw lol 😆 😂
I bet it feels great to take off these suits and face paints such dedication some say sacrifice either way that is great work compared to what’s being attempted or still on paper good job coverage and personalization
💜
35:30 I just thought of something..couldn’t Zepp have just gone to the hospital, been tested, and treated for the poison? Maybe not…idk just a thought
I could not stand the ammount of blood in the saw movies, so instead I watched this to get behind the lore. Thank you
so i was very hesitant about the saw movies until i happened to click on one of your videos now the saw franchise is my favorite! with your videos I got to kind of understand what i was getting into and understand things more but all this to say would you ever consider doing a history on Texas Chainsaw Massacre? I’ve always been curious about it and have never had the guts to watch the whole movie, especially now that the new Netflix remake is out? anyways I enjoy your video styles and i hope you keep pushing out content because I love listening in!
