THE WORST CHRISTMAS GIFTS of 2022 (YIAY

[@diabeticparxie]

I'm proud of Erin for surviving 30 days

[@pumpkin_pants3828]

anyone whos played the game will know that its very hard, 30 days is an achievement

[@paracame8162]

fr! for a new player, it's amazing to survive 30 days I couldn't do that when I first started

I feel like my grandpa would find that funny! 😹

[@MrBlockhead247]

I think it should state "Haven't sided with my wife once" instead

[@UltiTheBand]

That's EXACTLY what I thought

[@2LivelyHands]

When Erin said “I don’t want children, but I do want to be a grandma” I finally felt understood.

The worst thing about the person who got Lucky Charms for their gift, was that it was the OATMEAL, not even the good cereal

[@inconsistentblob1293]

That’s what I came here to say!

[@2manyflannels]

That’s what I thought ! l kept waiting for him to mention it because that’s the punchline

[@skinkydude]

I'm so mad that he didn't notice that I need him to release a public statement saying that he realized it's oatmeal and that it is worse

I am the guy who got it and i didn't ask for it

[@lillianward2810]

Thank you!

12:25 you gotta admit though, calling a pharmacist "drug lord" is hilarious

This is one of those things I’m excited for every year. Like the Todd and Aaron awards, or seasonal depression Edit: I’ve been following Jack since the WTF Blanket and this is the closest I’ve gotten to a YIAY feature. Yes, this is very sad.

It’s even better when you have normal depression too, you get like, depression squared

gotta love the seasonal depression. Comes at the best time of the year and tries to make it the worst time of the year.

Erin yelling "It's ALL I HAVE LEFT" is way too relatable, and it will never not be relatable.

I love how Erin is now in literally every single video, you're both co-hosts at this point

[@esmooth919]

Not until she's on screen

[@KelpTheGreat]

I'm doing a chronological watch-through of all his videos, and the last 15 or so videos immediately preceding this one didn't have Erin at all, so... your comment is completely invalid.

My mate actually wanted a bag of babies for his birthday. The idea is whenever we go to someone's house, we hide the tiny babies in random places, until eventually the host will find one, probably be a bit confused, but by then there's hundreds of babies everywhere

jackfilm said “january” on a tweet recently

[@Demon_Worm]

18:27 nah that is not regular lucky charms, that shit is oatmeal💀💀

[@WilliamAndrews0]

As a self-employed person myself and as a long-term watcher of many youtube creators like Jack I know how damn hard it is to release ANYTHING. No matter if you want to bring out apparel, a book, a boardgame, or anything of the likes it is a huge process with thousands of hurdles you have to take to release something and even worse if you want to get it in a major store. So I can't comprehend how some of these products ever saw the light of day. Yeah, some of those Joke shirts will find an audience, but "guess the emoji" board game? Cornflakes-puzzles? ALL of the books? who greenlit that? who financed that? who saw that and thought "yes, we're definitely gonna make our money back on this. send it to production and get Walmart on the line!"

[@UnstableEquilibrium]

Aren't books _super_ easy to publish? Not even considering that Amazon will publish any book you submit, but it's funded by a church, so you know they've got money.

[@WilliamAndrews0]

@UnstableEquilibrium Amazon self publishing is one thing, and they even print it for you, if someone orders a hard-copy, but having a book published that just stands in store for people to buy while browsing is insanely hard to accomplish.

[@spacetrashfallingdown]

Buddy, how, and I say this in the nicest possible way, did you make your comment sound so much like one of Jack's ad reads?

[@WilliamAndrews0]

@@spacetrashfallingdown by being able to talk like an adult and use language to convey information?

[@spacetrashfallingdown]

@@WilliamAndrews0 I don't know. Maybe it is just that you are indeed very eloquent. I think it's might be also starting with describing a struggle/hardship you know yourself. A lot of youtuber ads start like this. "As a busy person, I know how hard it is to find time to prepare yourself a meal. You have to go make a shopping list, go to the shops, find a recipe... This is why Hello Fresh™ helped me a lot" In the end, it's just a well structured short essay. I don't mean any of this in a bad way, I think you make a great point in your comment.

[@joelhaggis5054]

Seeing what Jack considers a "big" spider makes wonder how he survived a trip to Australia.

[@TheJege12]

Erin back with the offscreen bangers again I love it

[@blokvader8283]

11:05 I absolutely love the phrase "Translated from THE Japanese"

[@lenorebelladonna]

i got a tshirt from my mom that says “best cat dad ever. just ask penny!” penny is the name of my cat. she had this thing custom made and the worst part is, i kind of love it

[@scragar]

That sounds like an effort was made, it's sweet. My brother bought his niece a chocolate bar from the local corner shop. She might like it because it's free chocolate, but it's so low effort I am legit still annoyed. Crappy presents aren't crappy if they're made from a place of love, while good presents can be ruined if you just did the lowest effort thing imaginable.

[@robloxlover1969]

that is the best thing ever are u kidding me

[@alexreid1173]

Jack: “That’s a big spider” Also jack: *shows the tiniest spider I’ve ever seen*

[@FaTerokiMenra]

Erin practically cohosting this video helps fill the void that no more Erin is the Funny One has left in my soul.

[@ADreamerWithAPen]

"I WAS cool in high school" Erin has never been less relatable

I’m surprised Jack didn’t notice that the Lucky Charms that were wrapped were also oatmeal

[@NotAquaRelated]

I kept hoping he'd notice that, and was kind of sad when he didn't

[@pixelpudding3914]

Tbf I’ve actually eaten it before and it’s not bad. I mean…it’s just oatmeal :/

[@herowither12354]

It's oatmeal with marshmallows, what's wrong with that?

[@NotAquaRelated]

@@herowither12354 Nothing is wrong with it on its own, but it's kind of a sad Christmas gift

[@herowither12354]

@@NotAquaRelated Yea, but cereal and oatmeal are equally poor Christmas gifts, so.. no real reason to specify.

[@dorongrossman-naples9207]

Jack: a cereal sample pack is a good gift, that's worth wrapping. Also Jack: who wraps Lucky Charms for Christmas?

[@lukejensen9933]

I think he’s saying multiple boxes are worth wrapping, just not one

[@loweffortinc.2897]

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed harder at a jacksfilms video than when he said “cuz funny” at 20:55

[@ssz3622]

When Jack explains the "faux Asian font" at about 2:00 and he says that it's endlich but the font looks as if they were Chinese characters, the editor put a note there that says "*kanji". But Chinese characters are called hanzi. The Japanese ones are called kanji but since most of the kanji originated from hanzi and mostly look still the same, what Jack said is correct :D Just wanted to clarify that, especially since no one asked me to.

[@RaspyCh]

I can’t believe Jack said living with your parents at 19 is “late in your life” like HUH? 😭 Edit: I know he was joking in a sarcastic way but the whiplash of hearing that hit me hard lol

[@gracegrrl007]

PLEASE I thought I was the only one who noticed that, Jack be kind to us it's so expensive to be alive these days 😭

[@cristobalgarces1675]

I think it's a Millennial thing. Gen Z are staying home longer than Millennials did. Probably because their parents were Boomers and older Gen X. And I remember constantly, when I was younger, that parents would brag about kicking their children out of the house after they turned 18.

[@FunWithColeen]

like trust us we WANT to move out some of us just can't yet

[@HaizeyWings]

Cries in 24 year-old still living with my parents bc the housing market here is madness

[@MySingerlover]

I hope you people understand that it was sarcasm. Jack lives in a city that's notorious for being very expensive to live in, so he would know better than you think.

10:58 it's needle felting instead of knitting. You get to stab things with a sharp needle to make cute things. It's super fun, actually. Roving is used, usually. Which is pretty inexpensive, but cat hair is free if you want to go down that route lol i have two very fluffy cats, but have never done this. Sometimes I feel like doing it, but it feels weird to save their hair for some reason.

Half of the gifts are purely condescending and an insult to the younger generations in general. The other half are the gifters slowly gaining understanding and acceptance of our interests but are either way behind on the trends or confuse our interests with theirs.

[@StrawB0ss]

The bags of babies are for king cake and since carnival starts basically right after Christmas it makes sense. It means the person who gave him the gift has a demonstrably cooler life than he does.
