What happened to Jack and Dean?

[@snerl69]

okay I still call facebook "fackybook" in my head sometimes.

[@pitulanek]

"This is what you 've taken me to - destruction!" from that video is a staple in my household, as is "fac-e-book"

[@strayersend]

I quote laundry day and the goblin video like at least twice a week tbh

[@mandcformat]

Literally just thinking about that sketch last week

[@ligli500]

OMG YES! *THAT'S* WHERE I GOT IT FROM!! (for context: 4 years ago I had a really bad concussion and forgot a bunch of things -- like my sister's name, how to talk, etc. -- and there are words that I still say weird and sometimes I can't tell if it's an old reference I've forgotten, or if it's cause my brain cells are short-circuiting?? THANK YOU FOR THIS)

[@LazarouDave]

You keep it in your head? I call it that out loud 🙃

[@cryptidnicholas]

Damn, we got Dan and Phil back and now we might get Jack and Dean back too. Weird timeline offshoot we ended up in but I'm glad we're here lol.

genuinely, lmao... actually terrifying. it's really nice though, and it's really nice that they're even better friends supposedly so like yeh

[@princessstrawberry4623]

For real. I'd rather them stay friends and not make much content than their content end up ruining their friendship, it always sucks when that happens and I'm just really glad to know they're still mates, and that they're enjoying spending time together without necessarily making content together. Still super hype for if they make a return tho

[@roxas7418]

Dude I'm not saying this to just stroke your ego, but Jack and Dean is genuinely some of the warmest memories I have of classic KZbin. Just the height of comedy on this platform. Everything having to do with everyone you worked with, the community you guys built. The scene at the time. Bertie, you guys, Dodie, and many more. You guys just constantly put me in a good mood and inspired me. Would be very hype to see you guys come back.

[@dead_ones]

I couldn’t agree more! Jack and Dean made my childhood and made KZbin a fun and enjoyable experience. I still quote their videos daily, just because of how catchy and genius they all are!

[@Marianne_L]

Absolutely agree!

[@oliverholm3973]

Definitely that side in general. I was more of a TomSka fan, but I also watched all of J&D's videos. All of the different creators that would feature each other, that whole circle was so good

[@LilDeuceDeuce]

I had two children when I was watching your videos in 2012 and now I have amassed a third child. Time marches on inexorably

[@DewMan001]

The way you phrased that makes it sound like you put Jack's videos on in the delivery room while your partner was giving birth. "Ok honey, push! Push! Now breathe for a sec and watch because Jack says something really funny here!"

[@sirleebutler]

i also was an adult with a kid when i was watching j&d in 2012!

[@JudithARobinson]

I also had two kids when I was watching in 2012, and now the oldest of them has a child of their own!!! I love that Jack (and Dean?) is back but, boy, do I feel old😂

[@SpaceCase1701]

But that means I'm also in my... Ah shit.

[@poplottie]

so happy to hear that you and Dean will be making stuff again. Totally understandable that a break was needed for you guys to just be friends without work on the mind. Looking forward to the new stuff!

[@kathyrose8750]

The potential return of Jack and Dean has made my week! Their sketches are probably what I have rewatched the most on KZbin.

[@NukedKnight]

welp, Jack; that's your second upload of 2024. Excited for your next video coming in October 2026!

[@ewagrabek1280]

I was in Cannes (as a part of a shortlisted project in an entirely different category), saw your ad won and felt SO BIZARRE (but proud), someone I've been watching as a teen was recognized! Congrats, Jack!

[@r0bbyJdAbe4s7]

I was a child and now I have 2 children, life comes at you fast. Every year I still go through the classics, including your stuff with other UK creators. Excited to see you both return to KZbin.

[@plantifullydana]

“you were a child then. you might have a child now” yes actually 😭 hi from a 27 yo fan from back then

[@f.unkr4t]

i give a massive shit about the return of jack and dean. i was just feeling nostalgic about the channel the other day and wishing for a return, so thank you in advance for making that wish come true. if i had funds to support your short film i would, but i wish you the best of luck in making that happen (which i know is not half as good as money, but it’s the best i’ve got).

[@iamatrashcan]

not to be that kind of person but i did rewatch jack and dean of all trades like a month ago and cried at the end... i love the things you guys made and i cant wait to see what you guys make together and what you yourself will make as well :) this is genuinely some of the best news ive gotten in a very long time; a lot of people still care and will be here to support :)

[@bearrock13]

I had assumed jack and dean was over, so has made my day to hear it isn’t. Also 100% jumping onto that kickstarter, I wish you all of the success =D

[@stevenbridges]

Plz people back this film I want to watch it and if you don’t back it i can’t watch it :(

[@stacker63]

you're right there steven, i also want to watch it so much!!

[@LadyMagiccc]

This is so odd... I was watching videos from you and Dean while being in school, wondering if I should study law or actually go into directing and editing. Now, over 10 years later I'm almost 30, been working as a trailer editor and assistant director for 8 years 😂 it feels like a lifetime ago and also like last month 😅 especially J&D of all trades. Loved those episodes!! All to say: yes, there are definitely people who care if the two of you make a comeback :D

[@keif6685]

You will forever be my inspiration to actually try the industry. I'm a film post grad and it's a scary time to get into film. Thank you for coming on and honestly talking about industry things, it makes it feel actually achievable. Please make more videos like this if you can they mean a lot to us

[@JackHoward]

Let me know what you’d like me to talk about and I’ll do it

[@keif6685]

​@@JackHoward I loved the bit about pitch decs maybe things that you think we don't get taught or brush to the side like "I won't need that" and just updates about your projects! Your insta is great but would love to see what things you enjoyed filming or planning!

[@YoruuXD]

Jack, I just turned 29. I’ve been subbed to JackAndDean when it only had a few videos (and called OMFGItsJackAndDean), I also subbed to yours and Deans ‘personal’ channels when there was barely anything in them! It’s been great fun (and insanely strange) seeing you both grow and flourish and do such great work. Buzzin to see your film and everything else you do and continue to smash it ❤

[@Chrysriph]

So sweet to hear that you and Dean are still friends! Absolutely looking forward to the short film!

[@troyoboyo17]

Super proud of all you’ve accomplished, Jack!

[@hatsunae6729]

I remember the day I discovered Jack and Dean and it completely changed my view on cinema, movies, scripts and this kinda stuff. I was that amazed it motivated me to do this as an adult, make movies! I am so happy and proud with what you earned all these years after. You're very talented. Wish you luck with next projects!

[@justinlakey6838]

Man, you really are a director with the way you kept us in suspense. First the build up talking about other projects. Then the wrap back to jack and dean. Then some little delays and some dark foreshadowing followed by some AWESOME news! Really excited to see the two of you working together again and best of luck on the film. I truly miss the creative ways that the two of you interacted, and it seemed like a special type of humor that I could resonate with. Wishing you both the best!

[@morspike13]

No because I recently binged watched Jack and Dean of all trades again and some of your older videos and I realised how much I've missed your Jack and Dean videos. You guys will always be one of my comfort channels I've been a fan since I was a teenager and now I'm nearly 30 years old. Your chemistry is absolutely fantastic and you're both very talented and I think that as long as you guys stay true to yourselves and make content that you enjoy, you'll do fantastic. I wish you best of luck with your short film and I truly hope I'll see new Jack and Dean videos again in the future!

[@aribailey8405]

Im so excited for the short film AND the return of jack and dean!! Rocks That Bleed (another short film Jack worked on years ago for those who dont know) is one of my favourite short films ever, i actually got alot of cool points at uni when i used it as my submission for a best short film assignment and it was the only one no one had heard of, including the lecturer! (Not a diss, i went to university in New Zealand 😂) So i will definitely be supporting the new projects! Also, Professional Marriage is a brilliant term, and an honour to witness! Huzzah for the mighty return of Jack and Dean, Everyone say Welcome Back Dads!!!

Lol ive been watching you all for about 13 years, since high school. Im just glad you guys still get along, so many people from back then end up having a falling out, and its just nice to see theres no big drama

[@Poutnicek]

So happy for you guys, starting new chapters of your life and doing what makes sense to you! I'll be stoked to see where it takes you.

[@chromzepher]

It's wild I've been going on a binge of rewatching your older videos and the jack and Dean of all trades series reminiscing about the greater days of KZbin and then this pops up! Really happy to hear you and Dean are still great mates and looking forward to any future that holds

[@chimeragenesis361]

You talking about having a break from working with Dean essentially forced on you by the Pandemic, allowing you to just be mates again, instead of business partners, reminds me of what another online comedy duo: Ian & Anthony of Smosh have said about why their own partnership initially broke down; being mostly due to no longer being friends, & just being business partners ☹️ While they're obviously not 1-to-1 parallels, I'm glad to hear that your own partnership never reached that breaking point, & especially glad to hear that your break from doing projects as a duo, only reinforced the belief you have in your combined creative output 😄

[@analias1983]

The shit you & Dean made together was such an enormous inspiration to me as a teenager and even the things you're doing right now are so inspirational, i will be so so happy if you bring it back I still find all the little films you guys made together incredibly funny & I used to send them to all my friends. Like the jokes were all so cleverly delivered & you guys had amazing chemistry. Dude if I can make something half as good/as funny as that I would be very happy.

[@BigGoronSword]

The skit of a dog with Dean's voice lives rent free in my head. I go back to it at least three times a year.

[@teensyvlogs]

Started watching at 11, now I'm 22. Time flies when you're having fun! Was watching Jack and Dean videos today when this popped up on the side bar, and this is really exciting stuff. Would be so interesting to see what Jack and Dean content would be like in 2025!! Good luck with everything, I look forward to the short film!

[@charliehinchey5910]

I was having the worst day and this came across my feed and I couldn’t be happier, I’ve missed you guys, you are the reason for my humor and I can’t wait to see what you guys create for me to giggle at next ❤

[@catarina8036]

this was such a surprise! i’m glad you guys are talking again about content! specially for yourselves! i remember watching you guys and yeah we were all so young, but you gave us a lot of laughs thank you for that x

All of your old content has been popping up on my feed recently, been loving re-watching it all. Although seeing 9yrs ago on the post date actually blew my mind

[@DanielAhrcus]

It's clear that you've grown a lot over the past years, and as a fan of the old stuff I'm so pleased to hear that you're planning new content, but also that you and dean are still close friends! I loved hearing about your success and i hope it continues in the future :)

[@giggabiite4417]

Chris and Jack came back, and now Jack and Dean? Dang nice. Also, I one of the things that makes KZbin great is the fact that it can be done as a hobby, a creative outlet. I think that's one of the ways it works best cause it always leave room for passion. So, I'm glad ur not doing this as a career anymore, but I'm also super happy you'll be making content :)

[@BBeatriz1004]

I still remeber going to London by myself to meet you guys at Summer In The City and I was a tiny little baby trying to create content for KZbin aswell and everytime Facebook reminds me "Here's a picture of you with Jack and Dean in 2015" it always makes me smile ! So glad that you're still around and we're getting Jack and Dean back !

[@Kikkarlin]

I'm glad you're still mates. I think that's ultimately one of the most important things. And of course, it'll be great fun to see what these scripts you guys have been working on are!

[@july_juli]

For me at least this gives the same feeling as Ian and Anthony buying Smosh back. I hope that comparison isn’t weird it’s just something about an unexpected comeback of a legendary KZbin duo :]) I’m so excited for your upcoming projects!!!

[@Roveranden]

10 years ago, for me, a sixteen-year-old girl, Jack was such a big crush, I always waited for monthly vlogs and watched them several times back in 2015. Now I'm 26 and I'm still happy to see Jack. I wish you creative success, you are an incredibly talented person and have always been a great inspiration for me!

[@pokemeek]

i use to get home from school when i was 11 and watch jack and dean videos, they were a good escape from the difficult school life i was facing. i'm 25 now and i've just made the leap to go back into education and started university. i still watch an old jack and dean video sometimes when i need some nostalgia and comfort, so thank you and i'm excited for the future of your content

[@applecoreeater]

I've been watching your stuff since I was in uni (2010ish). I feel like I've been able to watch you grow artistically over this time as I've also grown up and I'm just glad you're doing so well And I'm very excited for the return of Jack and Dean.

I love seeing your videos together. Your writing, shooting, performance - all of it - is so spectacular. You talked about having a spark with dean, and I honestly think I can feel it in your work!

Jack and Dean was genuinely some of my favourite content on KZbin in the mid 2010s! I had a very comfy Jack and Dean t-shirt that I wore to death through sixth form. Me and my friends came in this huge group and met you both at comic con. None of us have children but some of us are married now which is just fucking crazy. Time passes so quickly.
