Your Guide To Jason & Jeremy London (AKA Which One Pooped In A Cop Car?)


BREAKING: Jeremy London and Jason London are two different people.

They are identical twins, yes. And they used to look a lot alike, in a fairly dashing, 1990s way:

These days, they look markedly less identical:

But they remain, as ever, TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

JASON London was arrested a few days ago for brawling with a bouncer at a bar:

He also pooped his pants in a cop car. As one does.

He did it on purpose because he was mad at the cops, though pooping your own pants isn’t quite the I’LL SHOW YOU z-snap formation he was probably going for.

He has since denied that he hit anyone (no comment on…the other thing) and released photos to TMZ that do seem to support his version of events, which is that he was “jumped” for no real reason by several bouncers and severely beat up, and never threw a single punch. You can see those photos here, though be forewarned, they are not pretty. The investigation is ongoing.

The biggest takeaway from this story, however, is that nobody — NOBODY — knows which London brother they are talking about, ever.

Even in the age of IMDB and Wikipedia, identical twins with similar names are still a fact-checking nightmare, apparently. Multiple news stories about the incident originally referred to Jason as Jeremy (some remain uncorrected), or got Jason’s name right but credited him with roles his brother played, and the comment sections are full of people arguing over which brother was in Dazed and Confused and which one was in Party of Five, no it was the same brother, no it wasn’t, for the love of God can somebody please open up IMDB in another tab and report back, THANKS.

Poor Jeremy’s Google ranking is getting all kinds of screwed up this week, y’all.

So as a public service, I have gone and done just that, and am here to put all your confusion over the Brothers London to rest:

This is JEREMY London. As in, the one who definitely did not poop his pants in a cop car. (This week, anyway. But we’ve still got the weekend!) However, one must wonder if his brother’s antics are simply some Google-karma payback for 2010, when Jeremy claimed to have been kidnapped and forced to buy and “smoke drugs” at gunpoint. His own family joined the Internet in our collective REALLY?! With Seth & Amy. Sadly, he did not ever share photos with TMZ backing up his side of the story, but one of the dudes involved was eventually charged with false imprisonment. Jeremy later appeared on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, along with his wife.

Jeremy London was the J. London in Mallrats, Party of Five and 7th Heaven. If you are wondering if he was ever arrested for anything and decide to search for “Jeremy London mugshot,” you will get this picture like, a million times:

WHOMP WHOMP.

Jeremy London has never been arrested for anything, but just try telling that to the search engine gods.

This is JASON London. He is the one who quite very possibly pooped his pants in a cop car this week and told the police the following:

“Guess what fa**ot? I f***ing love this. I f***ing own you guys so hard. I’m rich and I’m a motherf***ing famous actor! F***ing look me up, bitch. It smells like s**t in your car and your breath smells like diarrhea.”

Yes, LOOK HIM UP, bitch! He’s a motherfucking famous actor who was in…wait. Not Mallrats or Party of Five, so okay. Hold on.

JASON is the J.London who is best known for Dazed and Confused and not much else. (Though I personally should remember him for playing Bobby Ray in To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar and getting eaten by a tractor in The Man in the Moon. COOOOUUUURRT NOOOOO!!!)

I hope this has been helpful and educational, and that you will briefly remember which J.Lon bro is which for a few brief minutes. As for why you should care, I cannot honestly answer that. I just really wanted to write about somebody pooping in a cop car.

      I know! I wrote this whole thing and I’ve already gotten them all mixed up again.

    • SuzyQuzey

      ME, TOO. This is too much like math that involves human flesh and faces. If one twin drives 40 miles in a tractor without pooping his pants, what is the square root of Garanimals?

      • Baileyswedishfish

        Wouldn’t that be human flesh and feces?
        Just wondering.

        Ooh. Good mention of tractor, since the pants-pooper was run over by his own damn tractor in The Man in the Moon.

  • MaggieQ

    The Man in the Moon tractor-death-drama! I totally forgot that he was COOOUURRTT NOOOO! Thank you for the clarification as now I can sit at my desk and think about all the ’80s teen dramas in which there is death – Bridge to Terabithia, the one about the sister with cancer, anything by Lurlene McDonald – Internet wormhole, here I come!

    • http://www.amalah.com Amalah

      Man in the Moon was a sleepover staple for YEARS. And yet I completely forgot Jason London was in it. Or Jeremy London. OMG WHY IS THIS SO HARD.

  • Judy P

    Actually I do believe that both London brothers were on 7th Heaven, though only one was a regular member of the cast.

    • http://www.amalah.com Amalah

      According to Wikipedia, Jason only appeared on one episode. Probably just to confuse everybody.

      • http://twitter.com/xotrace Tracey

        And if you know that down the line maybe, just maybe, you might poop in a cop car, having everyone confuse you with your brother really is kind of a win.

  • http://twitter.com/hpstrawberries SnarkHat

    Um, I *still* don’t know which is which. I just read this twice and was the same one in Dazed and Confused as was in To Wong Foo? And was that the one who pooped in his pants? GAAAA.

    • http://www.amalah.com Amalah

      Yes. Or maybe no. Wait, no, YES.

  • NinaN2

    “As one does.” Thank you. I snorted my coffee into my sinuses. Maybe I have just invented a new sinus medication? Or a quicker way to get that caffeine high?

    • http://www.amalah.com Amalah

      I know a London brother (or two) who might be interested in your discovery.

  • ErinTDN

    Wait…which on was in the Aerosmith video?? Gah! Why is this so hard!!

    • http://www.amalah.com Amalah

      According to Google results, Jason London. However, according to the Google autofill, most people seem to think it was Jeremy. LOLZ.

  • http://rockle.blogspot.com rockle

    nope, i’m still pretty sure they’re both the same person. animatronics and green screens are involved, obviously. maybe spencer & heidi can explain it.

    • http://twitter.com/xotrace Tracey

      Heidi and Spencer? Well, YOU’RE IN LUCK! *snort*

  • Mara

    Go home, London bros. You’re drunk.

  • DianaCLT

    What the frack? I always thought the Dazed and Confused London was the Party of Five and 7th Heaven London. Durrrrrrr
