[@JaggerDaBombs]

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.

[@KiwyGal]

The opposite happens in an old episode, so I guess not too farfatched

[@DeadInTheFace]

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

[@Angels510]

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.

[@skc138]

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.

[@ceres_lang]

@@skc138 Well regardless of CH going under, they both got fired in the finale series in the J&A universe

[@TrinidaddyGdom]

Because despite amirs annoyance, Jake loves him and is his friend

[@Aspecscubed]

@@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.

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

[@kade_silver]

This was the most straight-faced new episode yet, well done guys! One Take Jake is truly a resurrection of himself

[@NoScopeNewb]

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.

A new scroll for this lazy troll makes all the KZbin 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.

[@oohdannyboy]

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.

@@kansasXcityXstealth Why did you? At least they contributed something.

[@MaRaX93]

@@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.

[@chrisdavy7279]

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.
