I’d like them to delve into why they’re still working together… like did the characters also start a podcast network? Why is Jake still putting up with this… this… CHIPPY
They kinda touch on it. In the quarantine episode they mention Amir just called Jake out of the blue after all these years. It seems par for the course that Amir basically Jedi mind tricked Jake into being in his life again like some kind of angry dumb ghost. I mean he basically kills Doobs with his mind in the finally so he's a superhuman at this point.
From what I gather, the lore is that CH also went under in the J&A universe, so they we're both out of jobs. Jake, realizing that Amir is his only friend (due to the fact that he's an insecure douchebag), reached out to Amir to start a podcast network, much like the real life Jake and Amir.
@@Angels510 still there was so much potential for a homeless and borderline.. dead amir to insert his way back into Jake's life forcing him into some kind of fucked up dilemma where he has to take him back and work with him. In old jake and amir they would make a big point of moving offices or something and turn it into a narrative to make jokes from, here they just seem to be glossing over any kind of actual narrative and continuing on like nothing has changed this is easily the largest change to the series (new office, new lives, entirely new careers, older characters) and surprisingly no real attempt to make jokes from all that potential narrative. I feel like they don't want to take any risks incase they upset the fans , it feels like they're doing it for me, i dont want them to do it for me, everyone here wants to hear that you're a bitch Jake! It feels like they are playing caricatures of their old characters it's a little bizarre.
Theory: Jake actually died on his way to his first day working at College Humor and has been in hell since then and working with Amir is his punishment.
When I first started watching jake and Amir I was in hs now I’m a fully grown adult I’ve literally grown up with these two characters it’s so good to see them back
Don’t get me wrong I love seeing one take Jake try and hold it together, but in these new episodes he barely puts in any effort at all now to hide his smiles/laughs 😂
FANTASTIC! Jake was trying not to smile a lot which takes away a little bit from it but i just noticed the smile lines around his eyes, to have them in your early 30s shows just how much working with Amir has made him laugh. Amir really found the old amir which was magical to see again. Overall great ep! you guys are hitting it farther and farther each time
Love the reference to the finale at the end. That's always been apart of what made such a long running series like J&A so special and so much replay value; They remember references and small details of their older episodes, some dating back to years ago.
I keep coming back to this one purely for one specific reason I love the part where Amir goes "I don't give a shit just stand on a door". I don't know if it's the delivery or the absurdity or the perfect reaction of Jake being so bewildered
That line was actually in the outtakes from the Vaccinated episode, Geoff ad-libbed it off-camera, surprised they decided not to use it then but to then use it now
The new episodes are so good, but the comments are absolutely sending me!!! Amazing to see how endlessly quotable the j&a series really is. Can't wait for the next episode
A new scroll for this lazy troll makes all the RUclips comments DROLL. Thats right, I'm sitting here reading all these hilarious comments because it's like an extension of the actual video, in a way, on the day, with rice, in a hat. Because let's be honest, 4 to 5 minutes from these guys is simply too little. I mean, how is that fair? I honestly think these two owe me money at this point for uploading such short videos. And I'm not talking about them giving me a discount on a Helix mattress, or even a shout out on the pod, I'm talking about THEM. OWING. ME. CASH.
@@dylaneverhartmusic Number ten, beef is for men! Make your wife wait at home in your pantry or den while you grab enough Kobe for you and your friends. Send her the tab and she'll cook it up right, nothing but boiled crab legs the rest of the night!
The idea that these grown men got me excited to see them read off of a paper grocery bag cut into a scroll is ridiculous. Todah boys! This was hilarious and much needed! Glad you're back!
These new ones aren't as tight as the old ones but I feel that's just what you're gonna get when you consider these videos aren't their bread and butter like they used to be. Nonethe-fucking-less I still love seeing these bimbo queen gods have a good time together and produce free content for us to gobble up like the greedy goblins we are.
@@Curtsy208 Yea, Amir is less manic and the back and forth is a beat slower. Which is fair. They were in their twenties when they started the series. Their sense of humour has evolved and maybe we the fans shouldn't be looking for that exact same old formula.
@@kansasXcityXstealth I don't think the problem is them easing into the characters. I think the problem with the new ones isn't the writing either, it's too much 4th wall breaking. The weirdness of the weird character doesn't impact the same if the straight man is smirking, and this is something that they could definitely iron out with some extra takes.
I like that they're committing more to their characters. Though it's fun to see them do reruns of old formulas, I do hope they try out some new stuff as well. But I understand that it takes a while for a show to get its voice, and it'll take a while for this to hit its stride again. Overall, very enjoyable!
Just having that 'starting a podcast together' setting brought the whole thing together for me. Just two friends never feels right with Jake and Amir. There needs to be some angle of Jake being forced.. like a coworker. Even if it's a coworker that he choose to start a podcast with.
I like that the new episode are a bit tone down/ less manic. when you announced that you were making new ep I was scared they were going to be like 10 years ago and they wouldn't fit my taste after so many years, but I can still watch this
This could just be me, but does anyone else feel a huge change in tone because of the shift from their handheld shooting style to the locked off tripod shots they are doing now? I don’t know if it’s for logistical reasons (cam ops, not shooting dual cam anymore), but the handheld style really added a sense of spontaneity and almost gave it more of a documentary feel, where this current style makes it feel a bit more rigid and more scripted than I think it ever felt before. They were also able to inject a lot of extra comedy through camera work before like fast pans or the sudden zoom ins. The content itself is still just as good I just think they are suffering from the presentation a bit currently.
My only note is that it isn’t clear if they’re working in an office or living together working from home. Maybe it was mentioned in a previous episode? Anyway, so happy to see this show back on the internet. I remember discovering these guys in 2007/08. :)
One take jake has gotta learn to stop smiling during takes 🤣. But in all seriousness, love that the J and A skits are coming back. I feel like yall just gotta clean it up a bit and deliver some of the lines better and without laughing but i see the potential here.

Theory: Jake actually died on his way to his first day working at College Humor and has been in hell since then and working with Amir is his punishment.
The opposite happens in an old episode, so I guess not too farfatched
I love Jake's smile lines because they reveal just how much he's laughed at Amir over the years.
The most brutal compliment
@@DoctorDubiousDancing It's called negging, dude. Insult the bitch and make her come to you!
I love that Jake and Amir is now following some sort of story line or arc
Weird hand...
Act 1: the OG CH office
Act 2: moving offices non-stop
Act 3: reminiscing and relaxing on headgum island
Not gonna lie, the first three ranged from Taupe to Amber, but for my money, this one was straight up Gray.
Fantastic work
I love when Jake goes on his list of complaints. "Small-minded. Mean-spirited. Homophobic. Dumb."

Haha I distinctly remember being excited to watch each new episode when I'd be walking home from middle school
Same thing here, in college.
See, for me it was the opposite. I'm barely in primary school at this point.
It’s really interesting how they brought it back. I was in high school when they did the finale episodes
nothing will ever top "Crustacean Drool Cube"
The finest set of words ever composed.
Guys stop posting comments and just done your work!
Don’t get me wrong I love seeing one take Jake try and hold it together, but in these new episodes he barely puts in any effort at all now to hide his smiles/laughs 😂
Constructive criticism? More like Destructive Cynicism.
Yeah, it sort of robs these videos of their humour when they feel so lazy and tossed off.
This ep makes me feel guilt. Guilt, and shock’s other ugly cousin: Happy.

Headgum is the podcasting network where the characters Jake and Amir are starting a new podcast.
Atleast how I interpreted it.

it did make me smile of them for dang sure

how much is a bad amount
THIS WAS CLASSIC JAKE AND AMIR STRAIGHT GOLD…. with a heart of cold ❤️
I'm crying tears of soy. I'm beefing!
It's nice to finally be within one hour of a jake and amer upload and not 7 years late
In surprised we haven't had a Jake list. Top ten hats to wear.
It’s called he tried just one, as a goof!
Wow, first episode and already sponsored? They must have seen that bomb ass pilot. Or heard the song with inexplicable clips from your actual lives.

One of these days Jake is going to come out with a scroll and I can't wait
Absolutely love you guys. Such a huge fan, probably watched every episode 2-3 times!
I loved the callbacks in this episode and the acknowledgment that Amir did in fact, canonically, castrate himself.
I never thought I'd watch a new Jake and Amir scroll video.
I am very happy I was wrong.
Welcome back, fellas.
I'm so glad you guys started making new skits together again. This is awesome
The "Cornish Game Ken" joke was hilarious
A reboot I'm actually happy to see 👌
I think Amir has a point, I would also like to see Jake make a list. So glad these guys are back!

The eventual Geoffrey the dumbass crossover is all I really want in life
Yesss
I'm really happy they're coming back!!
Made my day welcome back jake and Amir
I can't explain why, but "Cornish game Ken" is one of the funniest bits of wordplay in all of J&A.
I can't believe Jake and Amir literally did this live for us on stream.
I just love the depth of the lore in the Jake and Amir universe at this point.
Can’t wait to see your list
The fucking delivery of "I don't give a shit, just stand on a door" is the type of shit I became a patron for.
Good episode. Almost thought Jake was about to bust out his own scroll. Would be pretty tope.
I love this. The scroll is just an almost empty roll of brown paper towel which seems like something Amir would actually do, canonically
My only note is that it isn’t clear if they’re working in an office or living together working from home. Maybe it was mentioned in a previous episode?
Anyway, so happy to see this show back on the internet. I remember discovering these guys in 2007/08. :)
I laughed so much that my Dad almost moved.
This is the perfect episode to watch upon a door
Love the callback to the finale
