Amir's performance on Beeper got absolutely no love. His delivery is genuinely flawless, I really think Jake was right when he said it was a golden age. Something about how he says "I just got beeped" makes me giggle just thinking about it. Same goes for "you dont understand man, I want dis" from triathlon

Thomas Neumaier

I absolutely demand a regrade. Two absolute classics

Nils Berglund

Small thing to bring up, I KNOW, but Cingular wireless was bought by AT&T and became AT&T Wireless. Not Verizon. Smh

Tardy Johnson

Both of these are straight heaters

Treskatay

as in I'm trying... to be an athlon.

Chris Byerly

Fun fact: Triathlon was the video that got me into you guys. My friend kept quoting it and his recap was so funny we were begging him to show us the video he was referring to. The quotability of your insane dialogue transcends your ratings.

peter siecienski

Triathlon continuing the story for 2 seconds and then getting derailed instantly is something thats always bothered me! Real blow to the crotch

Abhi R

Kyle Amundson is a pimp and a cool!

Matthew

You should do corduroy pants and secret Santa/secret Santa 2!!

Drew

I give these B+ and A-. Classics in my book

Ron Dear

My favorite Jake and Amir’s are the ones where Amir is doing a shitty job trying to con someone or do something that he thinks will give him an edge over other, which obviously never works out, and Jake just can’t let it go and needs to put Amir in his place but that obviously never works out either.

Valter

The weird aside is a really funny thing that I'm glad you guys mentioned here. "Duality of man or whatever" has always made me crack a smile for what an odd thing to say it is.

Drew

They feel similar in era/style to Last Night which is an all timer

Aidan Woodall

There’s the classic office masturbation superobjective and/or throughline, if you will, like in YouTube and Vegan.

Ana Longoria

Remember "I.M.'s", when Amir writes a super sweet message to Jake, and it later comes out it's part of a song he wrote for him? Amir sings the same lyrics in "Heavy lifting", "Julia Nunes" and "Making the band perform" Strong continuity game right there.

Valter

This incredibly cool, jacked guy, named "Dio"...

Harry B

GUM! and Song of You.

Abhi R

Pretty sure the one with the screaming off-screen is 4th of July Scroll, and the screaming is actually in Password by Will who eats his own shit.

CactusWrenoir

The GOAT Amir story is Break, I'd love to see them do that one. Also a big fan of Trick or Treat.

Sean Carr

The ones with the scream through joke are Fourth of July Scroll (the cure for the common SCROLL) and Password (the one with just Paul and Will)!

A

"Locked Out" and "Tissue" have my favorite bit of continuity, where Jake promises to send Amir a text message and then "Tissue" opens with Amir showing it off at work, to Jake's embarrassment.

Max Duchemin-Nichols

Please Watch J&A Muffin! It’s all time fave! I can’t think of another episode with a similar theme, but hey..... I’m not PAID

Anthony Cooper

Yes, that's correct. Password is mostly a conversation between Paul and Will. Those two episodes also have a connection to Tiny Wings, which introduces Paul's love of the game Tiny Wings, and Vandalism, where Will gets hired as Paul's assistant.

A

"Tiny Wings" and "Vandalism" have another great connection where in "Vandalism" Paul is still calling Amir "Rod."

Riley Diamond

The episodes you guys talked about where Amir is sunburnt was Staycation 1 & 2, but the quick cut of sunburnt chipmunk Amir was Movie Pitches. A special 3 part special would be #dope

Rhys

"I get paid the big bucks to make the boo boo's go away" is something i quote a LOT

AJ24

The “duality of man” aside is from the Breakfast episode when Amir ordered an entire menu Amir style: just a little bit of salt/a lot of salt/no salt at all lol Also PLEASE react to the Reddit episodes! Those connect too!

JackF

Is there anything more Jake Hurwitz than laughing through the whole video and then giving it a bad rating? They're two classic episodes

JackF

Another two related episodes are Thanksgiving Scroll and Amnesia, with the latter taking place right after Amir gets kicked in the head.

JackF

I hope they do that, they've already alluded to it before and it's a great pair of episodes.

JackF

Are those two connected in some way? Great episodes regardless

Harry B

Jake's in both

JackF

Burp, one of the earliest Jake and Amir episodes, is connected to 2013's "Rolex." Amir proudly showcases his ability to burp at the beginning of the episode and expects some kind of recognition from Jake. Poor guy spent like five years practising

Lucas Campoli

also a connection to the lunch episode (they order lunch together later that day)

Jason D.

Please watch Charity. One of my favorite episodes ever!

Jamie P.

You guys could do both of the Last Nights,The prequel ep might explain how Jake made Amir the way he became...

Alex Hansen

I have to love these episodes. Got a lot of mileage out of these quotes. "You're being really crass, today" "Cash money ain't nothin' funny" "I want slash need dis"

Jake B

These two are chart topping episodes for me. This is definitely the heyday. You two Steve Jobs f***ers are too focused on your looks and camera angles to see the content for what it was...ridiculous genius. This is one of the best, most detailed Amir stories followed by his completely wacked out request for funding for a watch. So many quotes come from these episodes!! ...and the commentary on the t-shirt...perfect.... I demand a regrade

Modges

These are both A's for me, they're two of the funniest videos I've watched and they got stuck in my head for years.

will simon

do a 2 part J&A watch about the almost-inexplicable Miami series

A

It’d be funny to do "Muffin" with "Real Estate Agent Part 2."

Col998

I like that this gives one of the only hints of WHY Amir even works at CH and still has a job - he’s super good at photoshop

Steven DiFilippo

I'm pretty sure Triathlon actually did come out before Beeper!

taylor

seriously! those are some of the most iconic quotes. namaste

Aaron

Please watch the Double Date series!

Anthony Tefel

Please please please watch Thighs, them and the bloopers are amazing. Also Idk if you guys remember Crabs, the one written by someone else in a contest you had.

Devan Marsman

Fourth of july scroll and Password

Noah Berdowski

triathlon is one of my favourite episodes! was surprised you guys didn't like it

Noah Berdowski

also, definitely gotta watch the Staycations at some point

rj

Password and 4th of July Scroll were the yelling episodes

Sierra Reppert

Triathlon is absolutely one of my favorite Jake and amir episodes. It has so many great lines in it... Cash money ain't nothing funny, drinking fucking and stealing y'all's cash, deer suckers lol. And the whole bit about Bill Cosby eventually needing to take a shit with the bad impression is hilarious to me hahaha

Ramesside

Gotta do those with Murph and Emily

Laura Stall

Staycation and Movie Pitches!

Evan Satinsky

"that's a butter company" is my all time top jake and amir line

Ronald Jordan

triathlon did come out first on April 12th and beeper came out on june 8th

A

you should do vegan & carbs together

Odin Blaine

You should do 4th of July Scroll and Church! They both have something crazy going on off screen!

Cooper Saint

Password and 4th of July scroll, oh sheesh y’all, t’was a crossover!

JonG

reddit 1 + 2 would make a great combo

Reuben Levine

you guys should do some of the Hardly Working videos that you're in. Sarah's revenge is a favorite of mine

Vince Quintana

Olympics and Cheryl Part 2 are connected like this also. (Cheryl after Olympics)

Renegade

i would love to see you guys do Bucket List!!! the whole bookstore bit kills me

Donail Fanold

Feminist is one of the best insane story recaps. You should watch it

Jacob

Would love to see J+A react to the whole Girlfriend series, 7 episodes I think from memory.

Maya Chessen

YES YES YES IVE BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR THIS ONE

Ashley Jamieson

One weird instance of episodes with some kind of overlap was 4th of July scroll and password. Password is barely a jake and amir episode. Still funny though.

Rachel

Y'all should watch shred! jake is openly laughing throughout the literal entire video

Abigail Duerksen

This is such fantastic content! Love this!!!!

David Wilson

Would love to see Coffee Shop

popcorncolonel

I'd love to see a J&A&Murph&Emily watch the Dinner Date series.

RallerenP

Perhaps you could do vote and vote part 2. I think it would be quite timely considering the upcoming election

Archie S

I would love to see Waitress and Dinner Jokes. Both of them have Amir acting crazy in a restaurant to the waitress Chloe and it's hilarious

Jotham Sadan

Interpreters 1 - 4 had a really great through line and features that thin little fatass, Patrick Cassels. Would love to hear your commentary on it.

James H

Beeper is an all time classic

Lucas Rabins

Please do ping pong and Ace and Jocelyn 9. Two of the most underrated episodes ever. Literally have me laughing out loud to this day.

Archie S

Also, you guys were right about the continuity. Triathlon came out on Apr 12, 2011 and Beeper came out on June 8th, so it was just a wink to those of us who rewatched the episodes several times

Mason Brewer

Love your stuff! If you are taking suggestions I recommend Normal Conversation, that is my all time favorite ep!

Franny McCabe-Bennett

Hadn't watched for a few eps in a row, and forgot Jake wears air pods -- fully thought he had big blingy diamond studs on until the last minute. Admired the confidence. Jake, if you've ever considered it, go for it, bud

nicknasty

Great suggestion! Also, RIP TCGS, very cool to see you here Justin!

excellentfriends

It's one of my favorites! Appreciate the TCGS love, #losewell!

A

I’d love to see “Friend Quiz” and “BFF.” It’s such a weird little aside in the series where Jake considers whether he should just lean into the inevitable and become Amir’s BBF. What makes it fun is that it’s before there were any emotional detours like the storyline where Jake switches jobs, or “Road Trip”. It’s just Jake being utterly skeeved by the inexplicable bond he has with this weird loser.

Dante's Insano

The screaming episode is "Password" where Will is helping Paul pick out a password and yells at him "ENOUGH", and Jake and Amir hear it in "4th of July Scroll"

Casey

I think it'd be interesting to see "High Five" and "Editing" in an episode. They're extremely old episodes but it'd be cool to hear about exploring the concept of switching the roles back and forth in alternating episodes and why you ultimately dropped the concept. It's been explored a bit in the "Off Days" Headgum series but I'd still like to hear about the creative process behind it.

butterfiolee

Please watch "Blowing Up"! Amir's great in that one.

DoctorDoink

Please watch "Celebrity Email," it was one of my favorite of the later J&A episodes. Love you guys!

DoctorDoink

Also not sure if they've done it yet, but I'd love to see them watch "Party Planning" just for a reaction to Dan's "you can buttfuck them" joke

Khasai Imbuye

you guys should watch Los Angeles sometime!

Dan Wilson

"Horoscopes" and "Amnesia" are connected because Jake thinks he's finally gonna get rid of Amir forever.

Taylor Allen

You should watch Corduroy pants!! One of my faves

Will

you guys should watch "Knives" and "Profile pic". Two underrated episodes linked in that Amir is a salesman of himself.

Nedrick Kikuharu

These were some of my favorites, and I still love them.

Sharang Karve

Fourth of July and Password are the ones you're talking about. Definitely worth an episode.

Michael Arboleda

Me when i hear “DIO” but it wasn’t a JoJo reference 😭😢

The BCBA Brother

Can y'all do jake and amir: screen name and Jake and amir: new voice? They both invoove amir coming up with something and Jake immediately stealing and claiming it 😂😂

Melissa Kennedy

I would love it if you watched some of the jake and amir videos you guys shot during the college humour all-nighters. I remember a few that had me in tears, like the short but sweet "Toilet", the can't-look-away-but-want-to quality of "food poisoning", and the highly slept upon complication fever dream that was "Jake and Amir's Dream"

DoctorDoink

You should watch some of the "One take Jake" episodes. "Thai Menu" and "Driving Lesson" are two of my favorites!

Archie S

"Ice Bucket Challenge" and "Finale Pt. 6" are 2 other great examples

Tino

Wow, just came to here to suggest exactly this. This is more than coincident!

Daniel scala

Just watched New Voice again and would love to see that done!\

Miles W

My favorite part is that Triathlon came out before Beeper

Surge

I think Beeper is one of the handful of J&A’s I was introduced to so it holds a special place in my heart 😀

Adam Barker

I love both the episodes

Zanesh Amin

Triathlon is one of my fave episodes of all time, so many quotables! Cash money, ain't nothin funny...

David Hobbs

Yessss, do password! Will screaming in the next room is fucking great

Jordan

These are two of my favourites. A+ all round.

Matt Lorenzo

You guys are way too hard on episodes. These are classics lol

PietroFabian

How was Triathalon a D when he laughed the *entire* time!!? It's my all-time favorite episode.

William G

The Bill Cosby impression is one of the funniest things you guys have ever done, such a long bit - classic stuff

Varun

Even more seamless: There’s an episode where, in the INTRO, Amir stabs Jake in the eye. And then the next episode, also in the intro, Jake is crying and says “I can’t believe you freaking stabbed me in the eye” or something. However, I believe you already reacted to one of these.
