The first Jake and Amir video

"Of course, a lot of the first ones are terrible but that's how it goes when you make stuff, the first anything you make is gonna be awful and then you gradually get better, until you die."
- Amir ( • Amir Blumenfeld Interview )

Funny side note: you can track the progress of technology by their computers over the years.

[@timothysullivan4759]

I might’ve misunderstood this but that’s like super obvious. As technology improves computers look different

[@manchesterisblue1023]

and the video quality

[@AromaticAromantic]

Hi, 5 years from the future here. I can't tell you, tech gets even better. Jake and Amir are holograms now.

[@cocoafox]

whelp, after having watched random episodes over a period of 2-3 years, i'm finally doing it and watching every single episode from start to finish. wish me luck!

[@brettk8230]

Same (except I watched random episodes for hours over a period of 2-3 weeks) lol

[@nategrey86]

Splash me too

[@samjohar8632]

Same . I'm glad it's a Friday.

[@adityabhadkamkar8041]

Found a very cool video essay on Jake and Amir - ruclips.net/video/g-1JV_lmVaE/видео.html
Check it out

[@bobtillich8306]

this is my third time through in two years

[@Nonyah123]

They were so sweet to each other in the OG

[@mikelor84]

- MICKEY, MY FRIEND!

[@jackkrupnick4573]

mikelor84 the magazines are at the street I told you Mickey. You don’t see them Mickey? Because they aren’t there Mickey?

[@cheenewah]

This honestly feels like Amir's character is trying to bond with Jake and Jake is just going along with it out of pity... this is the beginning.

[@DarrellR012]

I got here after watching the very last episode. Who's crying tears of soy?

[@cray0523]

I prefer tears of mustard.

[@olliepapper2973]

Darrell Reyes I'm beefing so hard right now.

[@blocklovers]

Ora Nevar HE'S BEEFING SOY

[@roblemay3329]

We're beefing :(

[@emmaashton2353]

dude i'm watching an ace playlist with all of them

[@RamblingsOfTheMe]

Omg this is actually so adorable

[@RamblingsOfTheMe]

it's 2020 and I need a nostalgia pick me up amid the global pandemic, Cali and Australia burning, and a terrifying election. I guess it's time to rewatch every Jake and Amir episode

[@ethanbradberry606]

This makes me sad. I liked Jake and Amir too much. Honestly like a bad amount.

[@R3DSeries]

+ETHAN BRADBERRY Papa bless.

[@danalevers651]

Like a bad amount

[@regularshow960]

Like the worst amount

[@alainart]

How much though? How much is a bad amount?

[@georginalean3715]

They have a podcast

[@milesisterrible]

it feels like yesterday i was waiting for jake and amir uploads everyday on my shitty windows xp desktop

[@boyinjuly1]

I'm beefing a bad amount right now

[@blocklovers]

Thelonious Thorpe HE'S BEEFING!

[@hail_the_milkman8416]

beefing soy!

[@titogeronimo2988]

We're beefing tears of soy!

[@BrianMcCauleyDesign]

IM BEEFING IM BEEFING TEARS OF SOY

[@jaetrxpp]

Looks like I'm about to watch every episode now...

[@webbophone3377]

I watch this and think about how, even back then, Amir is Murph's butler.

[@nexusisohwell8242]

A Star was born? Nah. A Star was corn.

[@totallynotbatman]

Plot twist, the wife buys the magazines

[@agistoni1894]

Jake’s lisp omg

[@melodicbanshee4344]

00:00 a legend was born

[@Henryduckfan63]

Cynical Corpse A legend was born? Nah, a legend was CORN.

[@GDUDEify]

Beginning of two legends

[@lylabee4838]

YOURE SO AMAZING FOR MAKING THIS PLAYLIST!!!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@SamBskate]

Damn jake was actually a really good actor on his last one!

[@boyinjuly1]

We'll carry on.

[@Cadroidam]

jake looks so young!!!

[@candysweet434]

well yeah he was 21 here

[@Peter_1986]

You kidding me?
An entire playlist with Jake Amir, in chronological order?
I guess I will have this playlist running for the next several hours now, lol.

[@gussnyder5548]

Best quarantine activity, rewatching this series

[@wesley2936]

And so it began...

[@edwardjoel1970]

This is so cute.

[@deltaloraine]

awe the younger Jake and Amir. :)

[@Peter_1986]

Flirty face on 0:52.

[@tom01b]

rewatching all of them again... here we go :-)

[@dojotommy123]

tom01b Did you finish?

[@starkraving]

April 23rd, 2007 - Ten years ago today. Thank you, y-y-you coy diva roaches. Heahh!

[@juandiegoprado]

Tell that to Kanjiklub I'm beefing! I'm beefing soy!

[@callummcdougall3741]

Bad comment?
Naah...
Bad you

[@littleleakyleakythere]

11 now.

[@Schmidt54]

I loves this show, genuinely silver age internet humor and content, thanks for making this list

[@McLizzy100]

Jake sounds like he has a retainer on, did he used to have a speech impediment?

[@ThatSuaveFellow]

Legends.

[@nailsnailsgoodinbed]

Omg, the guy who got ditched by his friends was so sad and too real

[@atomicbrain9401]

0:00 - Good idea for a VIMEO????
And now in 2016 they have a 10 episode series on ......VIMEO?

[@smokejc]

+atomicbrain9401 Yeah?

[@xxJoeCraftxx]

+atomicbrain9401 no coincidence considering they put stuff on vimeo all the time

[@uriah9559]

they believed from the beginning

[@e13kid]

Vimeo was actually in the same office block as collegehumor and was their first place to upload videos. You can find lots of ancient jake and amir shit on vimeo.

[@GordonGekkoism]

Am I the only one who thinks Jake looks way younger in this

[@manchesterisblue1023]

the start of a legendary series

[@katan77]

Jake has an intriguing lisp.

[@ianfarrell1182]

I love jake and Amir so Much

[@footballboy11229]

YEOOOO A FIRST PERSON JAKE AN AMIR WOULD BE LIT WHY DIDN’T THEY DO MORE OF THESE ?

[@wowwizard118]

Thanks mate, been looking for this everywhere

[@VoidMySoul]

I watched these growing up but not from the start and it’s crazy to see a jake and Amir skit look like something I did in my bedroom recording on a cellphone 😆 it’s awesome to see the difference, jakes always the mature, smart wit, serious guy but here he reminds me of Amir with how he’s can’t stop laughing at stuff

[@spencemace]

I'm watching this years after they stopped making them because I stumbled upon the last episode! THANK YOU I AM WATCHING ALL 687 START TO FINISH

[@GordonGekkoism]

I know, obviously he is but Amir to me looks pretty much the same but I think it really shows with Jake.

[@rileythomas5870]

This is a classic

[@MissElinegirl]

I laughed my ass of at: make things so difficult...

[@s.o.k.1393]

Jake and Amir is alive again

[@AnAdequateViolinist]

At some point between this video and now they actually started being funny, so consider that motivational

[@steamyrobotlove]

So they seriously made almost 700 episodes... wow. That. Is... Impressive.

[@AmethystEyes]

They look so young here

[@john_doeherty]

This was actually really funny
"PFF.. This water tastes like.."
"Water?"
"... Crud!"

[@HelloSadness101]

Amir says "like what?" Not "water?"

[@padude_]

I am so happy to have found this

[@TyJaiGuruDevaOm]

I love amir so much

[@thesquidsarecoming4u]

This is the first episode where it feels like the OG era. Like if I just listen to the audio and don’t look at the video it could easily be from 2009

[@rf-k9117]

12th time watching all 682 nuggets of gold.

[@chrisrodriguez6899]

They should redo this bit😂 that reservation one was the best

[@peterbuchanan334]

"Crud" and i'm fucking dead

[@zabbadaa]

Jakes thing about the guy being told he cant go to dinner was amazing

[@desala2007]

this is actually adorable.

[@zzzzzzzzzzz6]

This is fucking gold. Holyshit. I could watch like 5 hours of this.

[@xXHawkChaserXxDragonEscaper]

I watched every jake and amir episode in like two weeks

[@isaacsmith3998]

I like them better like this than as the characters from the web show.

[@bodenstrich2428]

you know they have a podcast right

[@luftgabriel]

Rewatching it again.

[@austinohlrich9370]

They just posted a new one on the Headgum channel!!

[@benJ432]

micky, go out side, im right there waving, do you seem me micky, yeh im right there micky, yeh im not coming micky

[@Teomaru_]

theyre my favorite people

[@MrSkonkish]

and so it begins

[@imperialbagel]

Jim and Dwight vibes

[@Ethan54136]

I am looking for an episode where Amir raps "winter break is the bomb. All day long. Sitting under the palm." I am pretty sure it's older than this episode year as I know it's older than 13 years. Anyone know where to view this one?

[@camerongordon1997]

Exam time, so we start the journey again...

[@hockeypenguin27]

ah the good old days

[@edenskye1870]

Im beefing. We're beefing.

[@arbetk]

very talented individuals

[@Thegbear]

No, this is what spawned the Jake and Amir series though, so in a way it's the first episode.

[@georginalean3715]

JAKE IS SUCH A GOOD ACTOR OH MY CHIST

[@UFOhunter4711]

A legend was corn

[@TANKSPLOSIONTUBE]

"I'll be in the car."

[@BrechPro]

Damn they're young

[@ItsKanches]

he was way younger in that...

[@azh2929]

@seventrebec nope, it is the first. Amir talks about it in an interview.

[@iPodRock3r]

WIFE???

[@never2bebroken]

You two are adorable oh my gosh I laughed so hard!

[@ShaiqShaq]

was it good?

[@newtubeusername]

there is a vid where jake answers a bunch of questions, and he says Amir is one of his best friends in real life.

[@nickgoretska3877]

The reason why Jake's voice sounds weird is probably because of the type of camera or the RUclips video quality back then

[@missy123]

Nick Goretska You mean sound quality.. right?

[@stank3146]

That last one was so funny.

[@jesse-jameswade6361]

Omg you guys use to have lisps omfg xD I'm gonna miss you guys :(

[@patdort]

wow just realized this

[@DualOzone]

I feel like each of these characters were them at some point...

[@OhplsAndrew]

the last one is probably so true

[@littleleakyleakythere]

oh man jake seemed so nervous

[@PECEbro]

I always wondered, where are they? Is that office and actual job place? Do people work there? or is it all a big set for College Humor. Is College Humor a company that needs this office space? Is this office space rented? wtf do they do on those computers?

[@SamDSo]

Did jake have a retainer or something in?

[@rotsebanotman]

drank, not drinked

[@gerykalim9015]

I have only watch the first and last episode

[@randomjunk40]

@0brank yeah, cause they're not in character in this one.

[@johnnyzuidema3795]

4th time watching them

[@tr4d3m4rk44]

I fucking lost it on the urination scenario.

[@centigradz]

did he say wife? that shocked me

[@Lunatic0855]

Jake Did a little bit better I think, his reservation one was what did it for me. BRAVO

[@TheMonstaMash]

The videos at the start weren't as the characters they do today.
