This week we steal a look at two thieving themed episodes.

Comments

JP Again

Andy Blue is 100% a porn star

Kenta

Mugging is legit one of my favorites, it shows Jake being the irrational one in a way we'd never seen before until then! And also it's freakin hilarious how it comes down to Jake is afraid of little girls on bikes, then turning it around in a twist ending bragging to someone on the phone it sounds like it's his gf or friend but ends with "bye dad" xD It's a 8/10 ep EASILY!

Treskatay

Echoing everyone else I really like Mugging. It's kind of a different take on Insecure Jake where instead of putting on a bravado he's given in to some insane paranoia. Maybe as a result of the bullying from previous Insecure Jake episodes.

Treskatay

That's a good point I think you're right. They seem to be more harsh when there's "only one joke"

Marvin Allen

I don't get it.. you guys were laughing through the entire "Mugging" episode and then at the end you just trash it. Why?

APC + atgwmlavtam

Mugging is a great acting performance from Jake. A definite favorite!

Tom Noble

Please watch Parkor!

Leo Belyi

You guys should do Tipping and Economic Crisis 2! Two very MONEY episodes 💵💸🤓💰🎺🎟

Chase Lee

Please at some point watch the Girlfriend series. Jake is a jerk. Remember that? I don’t.

Noah Brown

You guys should watch Gum and Swag. Two of Amir's most desperate attempts to connect with Jake, and two of my favorites.

Lorne Mintz

You guys should watch Instagram and Facebook Privacy, two very “Meta” episodes.

Noah Brown

And MySpace? It's givin ya the ol "how do ya do?"

Lukas Blume

You should watch "Normal Conversation" and "Blood Donation", two episodes with custom t-shirts! Or alternatively "For the Wolf T-Shirt" if one of those has been done already (didn't check too lazy)

Sana

I'm sad of myself - mugging is literally one of my favorites

Regin

Please watch Tinder and Muscle Tee. Both episode ripping in Jake's insecurities :)

Harry B

Sick Day Pt 3 (Goodbye) and Road Trip (finale), episode that cut off before the end for some reason.

Lukas Blume

Another great pair would be "CEO" and "Opposite Day", both of which involve the firing of Amir. Or perhaps "Meeting Invitation" and "Seminar", two episodes both involving meetings Amir shouldn't be a part of.

Eric Webb

Also the saddest episodes they ever made

Jo.Comics

I can do the lip sound thing! Also, hope y'all will get round to watching Double Date soon!

JackF

Why does Jake hate every episode that makes him laugh a lot? Suitcase is one of their best and mugging is a fan favorite. Who cares about the technical episode structure. Still love you guys! But please don't put ""bad episodes"" in a vault or I'll legit lawsuit you for picking the wrong ones. Class action.

JackF

They really need to fix those now that they have the videos on their channel, it sucks that people can't watch them in full!

Owen Johnson

Don’t delete the bad ones. There are ones that aren’t grade A that still make me laugh or have one like that I still use. Every episode matters.

JackF

You and everyone else

Lachlan Hoy

the extraneous details like the extra businessman are half the charm! because you dont watch it and think 'they didnt need the second guy tho' you watch and think 'why /did/ they need a second guy? what were they even doing here??.' and the eps that arent as funny work as excellent world-building and character development, which sorta does the same thing and makes you fill in the blanks urself. it all works

Lachlan Hoy

i also personally love these two

Alex Persson

I love mugging, it's a perfect insecure jake episode where he thinks he got mugged and then when he realise he didn't he tries to excuse it.

Harry B

Pretty sure they’ve watched both eps already.

Secretariat

You guys should watch headache/hammer

Bradley McHugh

Rubik's Cube & Rubik's Cube Pt. 2 should definitely be watched together

Tobberoth

I think mugging is amazing, great concept. Jake being extremely distressed in the beginning and we eventually learn literally nothing happened is a great twist. The fact that he later brags about it to his dad makes it even better.

Yugi Motta

I'm an Amir in that regard. Also, please don't delete "bad" episodes lol

Nylle (Nile)

I can do the lip thing. Jake is just weird

Nicholas Callaghan

Please do Break a leg and Vending machine. They both break the usual format so well

Will Scheffey

I can do like Amir, but I don't like the way it feels

PogieJoe

Jake currently looks like he's in a Coen Brothers movie.

CactusWrenoir

Please watch Break and Last Night, my two favorite storytelling episodes, told by each of you!

Jayne Lim

noo every time I hear ‘andy bloom’ I get second hand embarrassment all over again from the prank wars audition episode and it makes me feel so sad

Quintin

Please watch Hot Box, and brownies (Amir's DARE commercial idea)! Both are herbal-related, and brownies is your best Britney Spears video :)

Thomas Birch

"Hey Billy what was your favorite episode of JAWatch?" "I like the one where Jake and Amir talk about making fart noises with their mouths for a looooong time"

Jackson Andress

Y'all should watch the Double Date series with Murph and Emily

Aidan Sullivan

Please watch Pie please watch Pie please watch Pie I can't take it anymore please watch Pie

Peter Willis

Cash money, ain't nothing funny

Dylan Forbes

Y'all should do a Christmas special where you watch Fired in its entirity

Sam Friedman

Andy Bleue? What happened to Andy Bloom?

Abbott Pinkerton

Headset and Trouble. Two episodes where Amir's extracurriculars get Jake unwillingly involved.

Sam Friedman

Suitcase is a great example of a line that has infected my inner monologue. Though it's rare, whenever I spell a word with "suit", in my head it's forever spelled Swy-U-Y-D

Knut Nesje

Mugging is legit one of the funniest episodes i hate that you hate it ;(

Kevin Kapoor

How about Song of You and Album? Amir makes music

CHILLDUDE22

Two of my favourites, don't you dare delete them. Next you should watch 'Waitress' and 'Dinner Jokes', two eps where Amir assaults waitstaff at restaurants.

Harry

You should watch Rick Fox and Rick Fox 2 or really any 2 with Rick Fox in it.

Drew Heath

Having something that's always been free suddenly go behind a paywall is a great idea! How could anyone dislike that?

Adam

You guys should watch Real Estate and Credit Card, two episodes showcasing Amir's bad finances/living situation.

TokidokiTensai

Both of these are classics and would not put them in the vault.

Xuul

Opposite day and Ground Rules two episodes share a connection. You should watch them nextg

Erebos2517

You should watch "Work out clothes" and "Yoga". Very similar formats, really funny.

Todd Skinner

You guys are crazy, Mugging is gold... Also Amir's behavior at the beginning doesn't undercut the comedy. The setup is a brilliant bait and switch because it starts out as Amir being an insensitive asshole to Jake while each successive reveal makes his mugging story sound less traumatic until we realize that nothing happened to Jake at all and he's being a crybaby for pretty much no reason (and uses it to try to win affection from his dad, who doesn't even pick up the phone). It is short, sweet, and packs in a lot of funny jokes in a slim package. I basically disagree with every critique you guys have of it lmao

The D-Emma

You guys are RAT COWARDS for hating Mugging.

Josef Oliver

I demand you watch "Scared" and "Storm," two episodes where Jake needs to calm a frightened Amir down. There's a special cameo in "Scared," and I won't spoil who it is.

Kendll Coopee

Day 5737478 of “please watch Cheryl one and two”

Josef Oliver

Sometimes they can be annoying critiquing things by technical structure, they'll give higher grades to mediocre episodes and randomly decided classics aren't that good. For example, I love that there's no little girl coming in to bully Jake, some of the "X thing that sounds crazy actually happens woah wacky" endings are just not funny, even if they're supposed to work on paper. Muffin house anyone? Keeping things in reality and focusing on the characters for the comedy can be much funnier, Jake is just a crybaby and that's what works about the episode.

Chris

Why are we not egging them on to get rick fox and just do all the rick fox episodes

JackF

Exactly!

Josh B

Aiyyayayaya!

Josh B

Don't trash Mugging I think it's hilarious

Adam Herl

Y'all should watch Jake and Amir Tutors and Jake and Amir Prom. Two episodes where Amir is hanging out/trying to hang out with high schoolers

Matthew Donaldson

Yeah mugging is an all time great. I'm starting to question yalls judgment

maximusion

Great video! I just want to recommend “High School Play,” a great quick cuts video in a unique location

Matt Davis

Hey guys, might be alone in saying this but I actually think putting all the shitty episodes behind a pay wall would be a bad idea because it's a shitty business decision and why would anyone want that?

Luke Wilson

Yugo was mentioned! Does anyone have a link to the live Naddpod ep Amir was in recently? I'm fiending for more Manager Yugo action

Peter Diller

Jake's New T-Shirt & Normal Conversation, two episodes where a hoodie is unzipped to reveal a distasteful tee

Thomas

why are you talking about my wife like that?

Rihula Sameer

I agree with you guys on these two they don’t really stand out as faves… normal conversation though is elite!

Jonas Christian Hesselberg Pihl

I have been suggesting you watch Come Again for well over a year at this point, and I will not relent. Pair it with Rollercoaster for two extremely weird videos.

Tom Noble

Please watch “Blowing up” and “on the phone” 2 episodes where amir is on the phone (obviously)

Kelsey Ferguson

i can do the fish lip thing but it tickles a lot so i don't think i'll whip out the skill at a party or anything

Jake Udy

When do we get to see Cheryl?

Jake Udy

Amir’s oldest cheeka.

Hannah

You should watch "Credit Card" and "Dating Apps" just cuz Dating Apps has a callback to CC

Simone Kirkland

Suitcase is so much funnier the way it was written. It aligns with Amir’s character to obsess over the suitcase of a total stranger — i love that the video just dove into it with no context

butterfiolee

I had the same reaction as Amir when, in Mugging, his character said "Freeze Motherfucker!!". I forgot how loud that was.

butterfiolee

Can you watch "Rosie's appointment" and "Youtube". Two episodes of Amir calling people out.

Keanu DRAMAFACE

You guys should watch “Bake Sale” and “Rosie’s Appointment”. They have a common theme of Amir being good at calling people out on lies.

Keanu DRAMAFACE

“Bake Sale” and “Freaky Friday” are both episodes where Pat ends the ep with a call to his mom and Rory

Nick Russo

Watch "Hop To It" and "Heavy Lifting". Two old obscure ones. Also - the origin of Amir's little dance he always does.

Sagie Levy

Feast (a Thanksgiving episode) and Day after Thanksgiving! Toda

Nick Russo

"Fourth of July" and "Ace & Jocelyn 9" are both videos which have videos of you guys within the video. So it'll sort of be J&A watching J&A watching J&A.

Mark Lum-Hee

I just want you all to know that I work at an emergency call center and Mugging isn't far off from stories some people give over the phone. Like I feel like I've taken a call from someone who has been "mugged" but it was like... someone yelled at them and walked past them.

John Doe

Weird, Suitcase is probably my favorite Jake and Amir ever.

Matt Freeman

You lads should do “Jake’s gift” and ”Birfday” both have Amir going the extra mile for Jake on his B-day.

PlayPi Games

I like it when the layout of an ep is different. We need more eps where j&a completely circumvent expectations.

Alex Zito

I'm an Amir in that regard

Dave D

I like Mugging a lot...in fact we performed it in an underground acting show before. It was legal and it was tight.

Sam Walker

I think this is the most I've disagreed so far with their assessment of an episode in regards to Mugging. Jake doubling down at the end that she stole his juice and yelling "it was full, it was unopened!" is a great punchline IMO. I feel like they're in general pretty down on the episodes that are a bit one note. Not every episode has to be quick cuts with a new joke every five seconds, sometimes it's ok to give a premise some space to breathe.

jontheguy

I can do the weird mouth thing too

jontheguy

Mugging is one of the all-time greats imo. I love how by the end of it you realize that Jake was completely traumatized by an 11-year-old girl riding her bike by him. I just love how the reality of the situation unfolds in that episode

Rachel Carlson

same i remember cracking up the first time i watched mugging. B+ to me. suitcase is like a C-

parker mulholland

When do we get a "Jack and Amir watch Jake and Amir watch Jake and Amir?"
