- Look at her dancing. I love it. - Yeah.

She is not feeling your vibes, though.
- She's not, but that's cool...
- It's okay. - ...'cause Kostas gets it.
- (Ethan James) Not really my humor, but I'm sure someone finds it funny.
- (both laugh)
- Devastating. I can respect it. - Let's go talk to Ethan after this.
- Yeah. Give him a piece of my mind.

Look at that! You broke him.
- (Jack) Today's episode is brought to you by PETA.
- (Dionte laughs) - (Erin laughs)
- (Dionte) I was hoping there was gonna be a PETA joke in there.
- Hell yeah! I got you, buddy!
- (Ethan James) I don't mean to be rude, but it's just...
this isn't college kid material.
- [Bleep].
- Please tell me what is. - Them be some fighting words.
- Please tell me what is "college kid material."
- I am 30. I'm 10 years out of college, and I'm like,
"That's funny!" - Humor is subjective.
- Yeah. (laughs) - (Jack) Fix Your Pix
is the show where you send me... - (Chelsea) I love this.
- (Sabrina) Oh, he's gonna do some dumb [bleep].
I can feel it. - You're right.
- Oh, I like this one. - Thank you.
- Yeah. - (Jack) ...beautiful.
All people are beautiful. Let's remove that...
- I hope you break him. - (Kostas laughs)
- (Erin laughs) - (Jack) Ah, dope.
Just a picture of you... - See? He's smiling.
He's smiling. - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
He's just being polite. - (Jack) Clone the moon,
so that now it spells out... - (Chelsea) It scares me how good
he is with Photoshop. - Scares me too.
- I'm really not that good. I'm not. - It scares me.
Yes, you are. - I know the basics.
- (Jack) If you have a pic you want me to fix,
please tweet it to me with the hashtag, #FixPix.
- That's still real. - (Chelsea) I do it all the time,
but sadly, I've never been picked.
- Well, keep tweeting at me! I'll see ya!
- (Sheila) ...his fiancée, Erin, are my favorite.
- Girl! - Damn.

♪ With a vague-ass title... ♪ - She's feeling it.
- (Chelsea) This is the YouTuber's theme song.
- Damn right. - Yeah.
- (Sheila) He makes all his beats too, by the way.
- How does she know that? - Damn right, he does!
- Wait, how do people know that? - Original! No loops!
- (Jack) ♪ Is he gay? ♪ ♪ Nah, man, I like boobs too much ♪
- (snickers)
- She's not really feeling your vibes, man.
- That's fine. I'm not for everyone.
- (Eric chuckles) - I made him laugh!
- (Eric) Never a dull moment. - (Jack) Thank you so much.
- (Jeannie) This guy has so many talents.
- (Eric) I'm glad intern 2 finally found a job.
- Aww. Same.
- Actually, he's now Flowchart, if you'll recall.
But that's fine. That's fine.
- (Sheila) I can be here all day just watching videos of Jack,
and I'm so okay with it. - She's awesome.
- Yeah, she's... - She's awesome, dude.
- We should have her be your PR person.
- (Eric) jacksfilms is such a genius content creator.
- Aww. Thanks, man.
- (FBE) You were actually in that episode,
so we're gonna take a quick trip down memory lane...
- I wonder if she liked you any more or less.
- Wow! - (softly) Woww.
- Dude, look at how different he looks.
- (FBE) What do you think of that name for a YouTube channel?
- (Eric) If he pushes it together without a space,
that's terrible grammar. Hypocrite.
- And there's no apostrophe. - You're not wrong.
- So it's not possessive.
- (FBE) Would you want your bad grammar exploited
by this guy? - (Brianna) Yes.
- (FBE) You'd be fine with it?
- (Brianna) It's because I don't do bad grammar that often.
- (Brianna) I know. - "I don't do bad grammar."
Same. (laughs) - Oops!
- (FBE) Did you enjoy his videos?
- (Jeannie) He's really funny and he's not bad looking.
- She's like... - (Jeannie laughs)
- She's like, "Is he?"
- I'd much rather be cute than funny.
- Really? - Cute opens doors.
Anyone's funny. Do you think this just happens?
- Yes. - Shut up, man.
- (FBE) ...since 2006. - (Brianna) That's crazy.
He's OG YouTuber. - He's just old.
- (FBE) Why do you think he has not just had longevity,
but is growing now more than ever? - (Sheila) Because people are tired
of fake comedy. People are tired of fake people.
And he's genuine. - (softly) Did you hear that?
- Are you? - Did you hear that?
She called me REAL!
- (Eric) It used to be kind of the memes would shape him,
and now he shapes the meme. - Hell yeah!
That's the best praise I've heard. - Whoa.
Dude, that's like... - "He shapes the memes."
- I disagree politefully, but... - Oh, I do too.
I still am largely reactionary, but I would love to be the guy
that shapes the memes. - (FBE) A lot of the series
revolve around fan submissions, things of that nature.
What do you think about that format he uses?
- (Sheila) I have submitted... - Oh no.
- (Sheila) ...every single time. He's literally collaborating
with his fans. - I'm saying "oh no,"
because I thought she was gonna say, "And he's never
picked me once," you know? Like, that's where...
- I think that's where she was going with that.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- (Kostas) He's making fun of you, but it's almost an honor
to be made fun of by him. - Aww.
- (FBE) ...comes up with new formats, ways to interact with fans.
- He's like, "Okay, I don't-- what? Why?
I don't-- I don't care." - (FBE) ...a long saga
with the Emoji Movie last year. What do you think
of Jack's place in YouTube history?
- (Ethan James) I think he's definitely-- he could be
on the Mount Rushmore of YouTube. - Aww.
- (Ethan James) He deserves the respect
for the work and his ethic...
- I think he's feeling guilty about what--
- Same. - Right?
- Same. I thought he was gonna rip me apart.
"Put him on Mount Rushmore of YouTube. I don't give a [bleep]."
- (chuckles) Yeah. - Just get him away from me.
- Nobody goes to Mount Rushmore anymore.
- (laughs)
That was the subtext. We missed that.
- (Dionte) When you think about
comedy on YouTube, you're gonna think of jacksfilms.
- Wow. - What?!
- (Kostas) He's been around since the beginning for one,
and he's had the longevity.
It's important to have him on the platform.
- Wow. - "It's important to have him
on the platform." - That's pretty cool to hear.
- You should tell your Google rep that.
See? Aren't you glad you watched it now?
- I am. I am. That was a lot less cringy than--
much less cringy than I anticipated.
- Yeah. - (FBE) So Jack,
we've known each other for so long.
- Too long. - (Erin chuckles)
- (FBE) Here you are where this Teens React to jacksfilms
was back in 2012. I don't even think
you were even near a million subscribers back then.
- I was less than half back then. You guys pushed me
to over half, and then it snowballed from there.
- I met you right after that. - Yes, you did.
- (FBE) So you've been around now long enough
where you're growing, but your fans are growing along with you.
- Right. - (FBE) So what is it like to see
not only when you look at your channel of evolution
of content, but something like this that allows you to also see
the evolution of the fan reaction to your content?
- It's cool, man. - Isn't that funny?
- It's kind of surreal is the right word.
- I think your comedy's evolved too, you know?
- I think it's definitely evolved. - "Comedy."
- For me, the biggest honor is still making these people laugh,
like, laugh out loud. That's all I want.
- (FBE) So for Erin... - Yeah?
- (FBE) What has been this experience kind of coming in
to Jack's life where he was compared to now really seeing
this huge rise from your perspective?
- Yeah. It's fine now, but in the beginning,
it was REALLY strange. The first night I met Jack
at Irish Pub, there were girls there
that had come there to meet him. It was hard in the beginning
to understand people that just wanted his attention,
and now it's kind of fun. - (chuckles)
- It's kind of fun. I think it's kind of funny
that this-- my private life is on display sometimes.
I think it's flattering. Honestly, I love it.
It's fun. - Well, you've become quite the...
- It's fun! - ...influencer yourself, babe.
- No. - Yes.
- No. - Yes, you have.
People love watching you, okay?
I regularly get, "When's Erin coming back?
She's way better."
- (FBE) Can you talk about your creative process
and how you've come up with ways to make
such great content that I would say engages with your audience
better than anyone on the platform? - A lot of these series
start as just a trial run. So I did a first
Fix Your Twitter Bios as a YIAY.
And that did really well, so you just--
If something does really well, you spin it off into a new series
at least on YouTube. That's what I've learned.
- (FBE) So finally, our reactors always like this part
of the video. What would each of you wanna say directly to camera
to any of these college kids that reacted to you
as you're reacting to them?
- To the people that laughed, thank you. That's really cool.
To people who didn't laugh, that's fine too.
Thanks for watching. - And I was able to see
my biggest fan, Sheila. So Sheila, you're my girl.
- Sheila's awesome, man. - (chuckles) Yeah.
- Yeah.
Huge, huge thanks to FBE for having us.
And if you wanna follow me on YouTube, you can.
It's jacksfilms. Also, Twitter, it's jacksfilms.
