Whatever Happened to Jack Smith? (American Dad Video Essay)

[@jat9926]

I like to think he's living his best life as Krampus.

[@theanimeunderworld8338]

WAS... Jack honestly should have stayed as Krampus his bus driver switch then giving up on K was... weird there could have been some fun holiday material with Jack as Krampus

[@jat9926]

@@theanimeunderworld8338 damn ive been ool of American Dad for way too long.

GREAT 👌 KITTY MONK 🐱 AMERICAN DAD WHAT HAPPEN TO JACK SMITH AMERICAN DAD VIDEO ESSAY,

[@vaughnmckinley3968]

He looks like Nick Fury

[@deshawnedwards6412]

Jack's role on the show should've ended when he became the new Krampus, cause what are you gonna do with him then after that? Then he died and came back as a ghost and reverted back to his old way as a thief, sounds like they didn't have no ideas where to go with his character afterwards.

[@estebangutierrez160]

They literally could have him be like Francine's parents or Lois' parents from Family Guy, just have him be a background character. If they are afraid to hire Daran Norris again, just let Seth do the voice, they can just say Jack is getting older, and his voice is getting scruffier.

[@mathieuleader8601]

I wish we could see Jack interact with Stan's half-brother from Wisconsin

[@SupHapCak]

Is that the Native American half-brother? They could bring their family back as well

[@BlitzDemonGamer3032]

they should have kept Jack as Krampus for there Christmas episodes where he would go head to head against the Evil Santa Claus golden opportunity lost

[@olleselin]

I'm pretty sure he got killed in gunshot right after a highway speedchase

[@Manowar458]

And after that whole mess he resides as a ghost in a museum of sports

[@SupHapCak]

Yeah I was going to say, but then I can't remember if that was before or after e became Krampus I think the news guy called him "seasonal spirit of Christmas"

[@xavierjuno4572]

​@@SupHapCakYa it was definitely after his time as Krampus

[@raveisalltherage]

I mean Hailey has dated her fathers body double and slept with bullock, who is older than Stan, so she has been explored with dating older…and some may say much worse and it was pretty funny 6:59

[@ΕυάγγελοςΦώσκολος]

I hope that Jack comes back for a Christmas episode. They could do a story where even though Jack is a ghost, he could still turn into Krampus on Christmas. Or the writers could introduce a magical artifact that's brought to the museum and revive him.

[@axels3188]

Jack Smith he was an interesting character and he made a better Krampus than Father and that Christmas episode was my first introduction to Krampus.

[@skyrogue1977]

Pretty sure he’s just a ghost now.

[@I_missthesage]

33:20 imagine Stan singing ‘what’s the use of feeling blue’

[@Saltheslab]

Someone make an AI cover of this.

[@courier6ix9ine95]

His endless soul is eternally bound to the Hall of Fame where he stole OJ's bronco (which actually wasn't owned by OJ but his friend) because after he was killedin a high speed chase in the bronco, he was shot in tue head, started haunting the family, tricked the family into makin him possess steve, then went to steal the original Arnold palmer but he was then kicked out of steves body by stan saying nice things about steve and he can leave hall o fame/museum building

[@ΕυάγγελοςΦώσκολος]

I always wondered why Stan's mom was never bothered with fake Jack. In my head canon, she was so heart broken by Jack that she didn't want to see him. So she and "Jack" never really interacted. And if he was brought up in a conversation with Francine, Steve and Hayley, she would just assume they meant the real Jack.

[@humanwolf1984]

I actually learned of krampus from the 2015 horror movie of the same way

[@PhillipOnTakos]

I always forget Stan had a fake dad, since it's one of the bits of continuity they just ignore going forward.

[@LowellLucasJr.]

Ok, I'm glad you shared about Jack's voice actor, he's also Dark Schneider from the original Bastard!!! Anime Ova Series!😂❤️🔥. What makes this interesting is his ex wife played Julia, Spikes love interest, who married Steve Blum, Spike friggin Spiegel !❤ So you're right Kitty Monk! It all worked out!!!😂

[@danielponder690]

So yes! Strudl is a euphamism for sex or female goods, particularly with German and Yiddish speakers. There's a great yiddish song called "Hudl mitn strudl" Hudel with her Strudl; it's tastey and all the men line up for her strudl while her husband is at work etc are the literal words to this song...

[@Sly88Frye]

3:49 oh it really shouldn't be a big deal but honestly sometimes the DMV is so incompetent that you have to come back multiple times. I had to go to the DMV four times to renew my expired driver's license. They just kept screwing up and give me the run around and have me go the wrong direction and have me go to the wrong people. They just kept wasting my time

[@mathieuleader8601]

I wish in the episode with Jack's funeral we saw more of Jacks relatives

[@KairaSuperSayan93]

I like to believe Jack enjoys being the chaotic entity Krampus

[@scubasteveny]

Ahh the wooden spoon. An Italian-American discipline staple.

[@KittyMonk]

Wait you got it too?! It was never used thank goodness but I thought my grandma was the only one

[@scubasteveny]

@@KittyMonk Unfortunately, I got the spoon fairly regularly. There was always a spare in the drawer in case the first one broke, lol.

[@marveldcextinctionwrestler7773]

0:21 so do I, It's almost as if Me and Kitty Monk are Clones of Each Other

[@Sly88Frye]

12:55 all right I did not expect a reference to The nightmare before christmas. That was awesome

[@delphoxhoopa7289]

My parents were definitely unique when it came to hiding our Christmas presents. We would go to the store and buy everything that we asked for, but they told us that they were donating them to charities. And we always believed it. 😂 My sister tried convincing me that he also spit in your eye if you tried to sneak out of your room when he's setting them up, and I admit that I believed it that first year.

[@BrandonScott-mi5pz]

EXCELLENT WORK. KITTY MONK 🐱 AMERICAN DAD WHAT HAPPEN TO JACK SMITH

[@squirtdemon]

my grandma did the exact same thing, but i always knew😂

[@markbarlow3275]

Idea for a video: Francine's life before Stan. If there is enough info.

[@BlitzDemonGamer3032]

Boy Stan must had a messed up childhood in the show

[@bsanchez3563]

Ooh Jack ran away to go sell fish bait on Koth.. the stuff they call that attracts fish but has another word for fraws near etc.. entices them etc... but he wrote a book according to Ray at Ray's bait tackle... course it is just a bunch of scribbles cause he never went to school... but he sells bait in a truck titled "Jacks bate" as seen in king of the Hill.. "Jumpin crack bass/crack fishing" Skis

[@seeleunit2000]

Blood crythe unto heaven was a parody of a play of a book I believe. It's not something you're supposed to think too deeply. Jack was basically the deadbeat father who was sort of on a decent relationship with his grandkids. There wasn't much to do. Except that they got Jack and his former wife in the room together to hash out their issues or to chew each other out for their failed marriage.

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

They wasted jack. Like really they turned him into krampus and the writers just forgot about him and then they killed him off

[@BlackTSpill]

Ah yes more American Dad Those vids where the reason I followed you Much love to you

[@MoochFromFiestyFour]

15:57 I hate it when they do similar in shows, the character sees something tries to tell the others but they just brush them off thinking their crazy when they all have literally encountered far worse and crazier

[@Sly88Frye]

24:28 okay as much as I love this episode and ever since I first saw it when it first came out it's always been one of my favorite episodes of American dad, what you just described about Haley presenting the popcorn to her family and then say they don't like popcorn, that would have been hilarious and actually that sounds very American dad.. actually I guess that probably sounds more family guy, but no I think it would work in American Dad for sure.

[@Ricter_G]

"It hurts me more then it hurts you" Yup still not okay hearing that 30 some years later.

[@StephenMatrese]

7:05 while it was statutory rap 3, can Steve really be considered a virgin still? I need like they can't pretend that it never happened

[@DarthJoshReturns]

6:52 Did you forget about the episode where Hailey slept with Bullock?

[@princessstreetmetal]

i came to say that too lol

[@pokemaniacalex8031]

3:20 I just noticed an animation error. I don't think those dirty dishes are supposed to be behind Francine here, considering there's no layer depicting whatever they're supposed to be in, and they're just floating in midair. Heck, you can even see where some lines go on past where they should on the right side there.

[@Sly88Frye]

36:18 Scott Grimes is awesome indeed. Not only is he awesome at voicing Steve but I think he's fantastic in The Orville as well. And little did I know there is a horror film that came out in the late 80s although I forgot the title of the film but Scott Grimes is a child in that film

[@Sly88Frye]

20:43 surprisingly I do not remember ever hearing about krampus prior to seeing this episode when it first came out. I think I was like maybe about 23 minutes episode came out cuz I think it came out in like 2011 if I'm not mistaken and yeah that was literally the first time I ever heard of krampus so I'm glad to know that is likely the case for a lot of other people.

[@juanhaines7295]

I did find out about krampus threw this.

[@KairaSuperSayan93]

13:10 I was 8 before I learned how to ride a bike without training wheels. It takes time.

[@aurahoneydew9607]

Tbs is sleeping on a Jack and Stans Brother. The episode is the dramatic enough reason for him to show up at Stan's door unannounced. Having the two team up against him since he would be the next target for Jack once he found out how much he makes and that grandpa completely left Jack out of the will. Using the same i want to bond play before taking everything.

[@mackeziehartill2733]

Yes I found out kuramps from this episode

[@TerraJ-ug6nc]

Damn Kitty rest your voice girl.... But when you're done, do a video on Meg's friends.... Esther, Patty and Ruth actually really like Meg as she is and I know Patty and Ruth have causes they believe in... Like it's funny that Megs considered the loser when she has a number of friends and the only friend Chris has is Neil, who wanted to date Meg first...

[@nu--13]

Thanks for making more awesome content.

[@the1magageneral323]

Jack Smith has no point to why he is harsh on Stan or his final episode.

[@frankinzoidwright5666]

I believe the green pack of cigarettes are called Kools.

[@blainegordon770]

He got trapped in a sports museum. Duh

[@Sly88Frye]

7:09 old? I was in high school by the time the show came out.

[@cowgirl6591]

skis

[@PrincessPooonyPoona]

The creators could bring him back at any moment They just don't know how to continue his character

[@cinnamonbun9223]

Skis!⛷️

[@sincitty3323]

Skis Also, I learned Krampus from that one Krampus movie. This episode was probably the second thing I saw with Krampus.

[@UrLocalSpaceFan123]

How the hell did I not realize Jack and Knockout have the same VA???

[@nicholassims9837]

15:48 So whats your thoughts on the Jimmy Neutron tv movie the Egg Pire Strikes Back ?

[@bizarroguy6570]

6:55 I mean…..technically we did with Bullock. Edit: 8:29 Always found it odd Jack never used the knowledge of Roger as blackmail material or a way to get pardoned by the government. Maybe it was an indication he isn’t that bad oooooooooor he just worried he’d get screwed over by just being related. Either or.

[@Sly88Frye]

36:47 I just thought about this just now. Jack stole OJ Simpson's Ford Bronco. We all know about OJ Simpson and his murder trial but he did end up going to prison well over a decade later thanks to being caught trying to steal Hall of Fame sports memorabilia. Jack in Steve's body is trying to steal sports memorabilia. It's probably coincidence but it almost feels like they're having Jack reference OJ Simpson again.

[@frankinzoidwright5666]

Skis!

[@RockismyAir]

SKIS!

[@Irvingizcool]

skis brah

[@IsabellaMathew]

For me it’s was Krampus movie. Here another fun fact in some parts of Germany instead of having Santa. They have entity, called Christkind the angel of Christmas.

[@asexualartistry]

6:55 did- did you forget about the time Bullock was sleeping with Haley?

[@Rangnathebloodedge]

Im turning 29 next month. I hate getting old

[@professorpengu502]

Wait why didn't they believe I krampus haven't they fought santa multiple times before?

[@vandavis000]

Haley did date old guy ,avery bullock. So there😊

[@thesplitking6340]

Krampus is also a slamming song by Code:Pandorum

[@Annafeliciano19]

I was at the same con and wished I would have met you

[@Hi_Just_Fred]

32:44 "This is why we need a dog Francine" That line is also pretty annoying ngl, for obvious reasons regarding previous episodes but also because... It doesn't really fit stan. I really wish people would think about the lines they give characters and not just slap it in as a basic thoughtless joke.

[@belzski8110]

Skis. Also, Hookah

[@vandavis000]

Yes they shouldve let jack go with him doing good helping stan and steve but theyve tarnished his image again.😢

[@nicholassims9837]

Now talk about Frieght Train Brown then you have done all the Seth grandfather characters

[@aaronsmith-]

Why is the highest resolution on this video 360p

[@SilverScribe85]

Wait...out of the closet? I had no idea Darren was gay?

[@humanwolf1984]

I actually children needs the return of Christmas icon of krampus to scare the children into good behavior unless they want to be visited by him & not Santa nothing like scaring the crap of children 😏😉😈🎄

[@natbatlightwood5288]

The likes are on 666 and that made me laugh way more than it should have. 😂😂😂

[@michaelfragoso6572]

I hate Stan’s mom Betty since she forced Stan to grow up and is the source of almost all his issues
