Surprise! We look at two birthday episodes made back in 2007.

I liked these episodes, it was different and provided a kind of emotional root to all of the random craziness of the typical office episodes. It's good when a serious show has levity and it's good when a comedy show has some gravity.

Tyler Drama

you should watch Cameo and Understudy! two videos about people filling in for Jake

Lorne Mintz

You guys should watch Instagram and Facebook Privacy, two videos where Amir is way too paranoid over Mark Zuckerburg.

PurpsJL

Time for me to suggest New Website and Website Ideas once again.

Drake Stratton

We want/need Murph and Emily on to watch the Double Date episodes. It is more than deserved, it’s earned!

jamie

Please do the Amanda Bynes Celebrity Date one next! has my two favourite quotes off all time in it... "I changed the khakis.... fuck off!" and "it would be my treat, if you would treat me, to a seat.... ON YOUR FACE" 😂😂😂😂😂 Best ep ever. Love you guys, shout out from sunny Brisbane, Aus.

Matty

Amir said he wanted to squirm...well what's more squirmy than watching videos of yourself and an ex girlfriend!

Matty

I've gotta recommend "4th of July Scroll" and "Password" since they have the strangest thread linking any 2 J&As ever. Plus, "Password" is the most disliked J&A of all time!

ash

Will I ever stop recommending Laundry and Laundry? Signs point to no.

butterfiolee

Oh man... this is like my favourite episode yet. Second only to when Jake's wife guested and had to watch Muscle Tee. I remember watching these episodes way back in the day and these "sad" episodes are so near and dear to my heart. It's these extra levels that make the whole J/A series better than anything Youtube had to offer then and ever since. You guys are way way more talented at writing these dramatic scenes than you think. It's not cringe Amir!

Jordan + Cinewhirl

Video Letter to Mom will probably make you squirm more! Pair's well with Mother's day

Abhi R

Well, it's your Murphday now! Eat your Murphday cake!

Anish Naqvi

Thanks for taking my suggestion!

Elias Olsen

I'm gonna keep requesting Brown TeePee and Toilet Paper until I'm in the grave

Rhys

Please do "disease" and "diseases" (yes they are 2 different videos.)

Nate Davis

I pay you $25 a month and therefore deserve, no- I've earned- the right to request that you guys watch Coma and Wake Up... 2 episodes where Amir gets brutally hit in the head to great comedic affect.

Max Duchemin-Nichols

Pls watch MUFFIN ! I don’t know a good pairing video though :( but I’m Australian so?

Abbott Pinkerton

I'd like to see Shaving and Toothbrush, which seem to be shot in the same bathroom, from the same angle, with the same feel. Love those episodes.

Valter

It would be cool to watch two travel-themed episodes. Cincinnati and Nantucket?

Kevin Levy

How about two phone themed episodes? Blowing Up and Meeting Invitation.

Luke Korff

These 2 vids are so bizarre they barely seem canon lmao

Liam

Snack Attack and Muffin, Amir stealing Jakes food for no reason

Dionysia

I really like Amir's Birthday! Is it a little cringy? Sure. The sad amir wandering the streets is beautiful though - the candles falling over, the mcdonalds wrapper blowing away, failing to light em. I just found that bit hilarious.

Dionysia

I do think it doesn't quite know what to do with itself after the surprise reveal though. Kinda fails to stick the landing

Oskar Wallen

I forgot how much I love the old ones. Like someone else said, so much despair, it's great.

Jordan Fields

You should watch Jake and Amir: Coma and Jake and Amir: Feminist. In Coma Amir only has one line and in Feminist Jake only has one line.

jgould

You guys HAVE to watch New Apartment. It has the most glorious jump cut I’ve ever seen. I’d love to see Understudy as well, great Sam ep

Michael Lang

What about Snack Attack and Celebrity Date? They both have weird emails and both have jake either attacking or turning on Amir.

CactusWrenoir

I'd love to see you do my two favorite story style episode: Break (told by Amir), and Last Night (told by Jake). Uptoke me to karma heaven

Dylan Forbes

for real, I used to tear up watching Amir's Birthday!

Mea Larkin

the entire sick day series is my favorite jake and amir “multi-parter” for this reason…. they seem to think they’re bad at drama but i personally love having the curtain folded back, especially when it shows how important jake and amir are to the other. the uncut version of sick day part 3 still makes me sad sometimes

Mea Larkin

i’m going to ask for “Godfather” and “Heavy Lifting” because they’re two episodes where people ask if amir is gay. sadly pride month is over but i think that makes it funnier

Charlotte Young

Fun fact: I used to legit well up at Amir's Birthday.

Michael Sherry

Please watch the old Bacardi Project videos, they’re delightfully bad

Armando Hopson

You should do Opposite Day and Amnesia

J-Bru

Song and Going home both have Amir taking photographs of Jake. I feel like they are the start of Amirs scrapbook of Jake

Sonsa

Ooh, if yall wanna squirm thennn I'd recommend trying "Muffin" and "Push-Up Contest". Still a different vibe from this cause it's not the oldness or acting that I think you'd react to, but there's some...big choices I could definitely see you cringe to!

Andrew Paladino

Amir is crazy, the “worse” the video quality and less professional and thought-out these videos were, the BETTER! I was a diehard fan from year 1, when i was in hs. I slowly lost interest around the time of the collegehumor show because the videos started losing their authenticity and becoming waaaay too convoluted. I used to not even be able to watch the ones where Jake and Amir basically switched characters or whenever Jake veered away from being the straight man. Thankfully after years of If I Were You im able to go back and appreciate those vids now, cuz the podcast got me familiar with the other dynamics in an environment that was less sacred to me. But yeah TL;DR these old videos are the best, to at least some of us!

Andrew Paladino

The sad episodes totally made me and my friends cry in hs lmao

Amanda Parkman

Amir's Birthday is my favorite Jake & Amir. I know that's weird but it's so good. It's got it all. The classic Jake and Amir relationship. Awkwardness. But it also has sadness, Joshua Radin montage, friendship, laughs, joy, more awkwardness, and another montage. lol

Jonas Christian Hesselberg Pihl

Something worse than these? Yes. 'Come Again'. You can pair it with 'Gay Marriage' for two videos where Amir is gay.

Kevin Kapoor

I have two themed suggestions. 1. Bieber Fever and Celebrity Date (star-studded vid) 2. Album and Song of You (Amir makes music)

Thomas Kearns

Love Amir's birthday, it always gets me emosh

Matthew Cramer

I suggest Jake and Amir, Laundry and Jake and Amir - Laundry, two laundry themed episodes if you can believe it.

Bryce Knudtson

I'd suggest New Voice and Celebrity Date. Both episodes that have a surprise insecure Jake twist partway through.

localnomad

My birthday is tomorrow, and you decide to post this this this public shaming of that fact of me today?

Ellie Curtis

The old videos are the best by far! These two are instant classics and the sparsity of purposeful jokes is what makes them so good. Pleeease do Crossword Puzzle and Wardrobe - another two old but golds

Marshall A

this episode is one of the only jake and amir videos to make me cry tears of you know what

Adam Herl

I think the interpreters series will make Jake squirm more than anything

Smiththebat

Jake’s got it down: they’re a bit cringy but I enjoyed Amir’s birthday quite a bit! :) was a nice throwback to highschool times…

Caitlin Allaway

“Ace and Jocelyn 3” and “Dating Service”: two vids where Amir ganks Jake’s wallet.

Bradley McHugh

You should watch Talent Show and Talent Show Part 2 because they both talent show

Abhi R

Surely Amnesia deserves to be a part of that?

Xuul

A nice pair would be jake and amir opposite day and ground rules. Both are woven together by a great truth that can only be uncovered by watching.

BrettGallo

The videos where Amir follows Jake in the airport

Kim Moatamedi

Love Letter and Snack Attack. Both have pat and emails to crushes

Kendll Coopee

Cheryl part 1&2 two videos about Cheryl

Odin Blaine

There is a 2 ep arc with the blonde girl at the party, I didn't realize she was Amir's gf at the time!

Spin Elemayo

How about you guys watch Jake's Twitter and Twitter, videos about Twitter? They were made two years apart!

Benjamin Siciliano

Bucket List and Darren. Connection? Cockmeat Sandwiches.

JackF

Amir is being too harsh

Tino

Can't stop suggesting "Horoscopes" and "Amnesia". In both Jake thinks he has found a (very dark) way to be free of Amir forever!

David Koeller

“Embarrassed” and “Meeting Invitation”? Both videos deal with Amir’s confusion while listening to Jake’s phone conversations.

Isaiah Saranow

“Waitress” and “Dinner Jokes;” they’re interestingly similar episodes and I’ve always been curious about their backstory

Thomas S

Anir is absolutely being too harsh

DaveO23

“For the Wolf Shirt” and “Jake’s New Shirt”! Two episodes where you shamelessly flog your Busted Tees merch

Chris

“Karate” and “Tongue” two episodes where Amir seriously injures Jake

Luca Visetti

You guys should watch "Make Believe" and "Who's The Boss" both videos are unique early short episodes!

Alex S

Here are some suggestions for you guys! the club + girls - Both take place in or around a club + insecure Jake. workout clothes + gym - Both workout related. time saver + snack attack - Both have Jake losing it at Amir and actually attacking him.

Luke Quinton

You should do Cheryl 1 and 2

Gabriel Piller

How about "Opinions" and "Las Vegas" ... both episodes where "needy Amir" has to have the same opinion as Jake. That would be pretty ace.

Nick Russo

A lot of people have asked for it, but both episodes titled "Laundry"! The origin of beefing.

Jono Petreski

I'd love you to watch "Hookah" and "Tipping" two episodes from the golden age of 2012

NATHAN TONEY

Honestly feel like you should do Earrings and Chinstrap Beards. Think im onto a winner winner chicken chinner

Jackson

Amir you’re way too hard on yourself! YouTube sketch comedy (especially guerrilla-filmed) had no high bar for quality or content back then. It was fun to see you guys making videos because what was funny to you was funny to us. Back in the day it didn’t have to be super polished and well-produced to get watched, that’s what made it great.

Kev Dawgg

Bad videos? Nah…bad videos, yeah.

Jeremy Showell

Week 2 of suggesting Jake and Amir and Murph and Emily watch Double Date! Lets get it y'all!

Hhng

Seconded!

KevinOConnor

Traffic and Driving lesson would be a nice pair!

Ty Folks

I hope you guys watch either password and CEO (both episodes with Paul and Will) or horoscopes and Celebrity date (hidden episodes from LA)

Luke Tanner

Thirded! Absolutely thirded!

Elias Olsen

Password should be paired with 4th of July Scroll bc the two episodes canonically take place on the same day & during the same few minutes.

Nick Hartkop

talent show 1 and 2 would be fun

Marble

at the time these eps premiered i was a moody teen who was heavily invested in the emotional arc of the Jake and Amir series, so these were definitely frequently played. you guys should watch Godfather. i think it would be good for the cringe factor.

Matias Rebagliati

dude that was his actual girlfriendddddddddddddd??

Josh B

I thought the Amri bday one was touching, the sad montage was legit sad

Josh Amichia

Amir needs to understand that this early era of Jake x Amir is lowkey the best one. This era of Jake x Amir and the era around the episode Record Breaker are the seasons I watch the most lol

William Yazzie

I joined your patreon just to watch this, Amir's Birthday is my favorite Jake and Amir episode

JLa

This was beautiful

Andrew Astore

Amir’s way too harsh - I’ve always loved the really old videos. Quality is lower, sure, and there aren’t as many jokes, but they have a charm (or heart, as Jake said) that more than makes up for those flaws. Admittedly there’s plenty of cringey material in there that I imagine is harder to look back on when it’s you instead of an uninvolved third party, so it’s fair not to like those as much… but to me they will always have an important place in the J&A canon.

Kevin Thoma

I'll always have a soft spot for the somewhat depressing episodes. I think they played a not insignificant part in creating the early J&A following.
