Jake and Amir (Web Video) | comment |
Jake and Amir is a popular internet series of short videos by CollegeHumor. Like Hardly Working, they are filmed in and around the College Humor office and revolve around Jake Hurwitz, a usually normal guy, and his co-worker, Amir Blumenfeld, an unstable, unbalanced and generally weird Manchild who is obsessed with Jake and determined to prove that they're "best friends".In 2020, Headgum (the podcast network where both Jake and Amir work) uploaded an unofficial "Jake and Amir" episode, where the two played basically the same roles as in the original series. In 2021, they regained the rights to their sketches, and all the J&A YouTube videos were transferred from CollegeHumor to their own channel, on which they later started making new episodes. | |

Beach Bury: Amir tries to encourage Jake to do this to him in the episode "Nantucket". He starts by piling a handful of sand onto his belly. | |

Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Averted in that it's the kind of Odd Couple pairing where you'd expect to see it a lot, but one of them always ruins it because they're both pretty terrible people. However, Jake sometimes shows hints of caring for Amir secretly. | |

Daydream Surprise | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_118a41d5 | comment |
Daydream Surprise: My Boy, which starts out with Jake praising and hugging Amir and then reveals that Amir was daydreaming the whole thing. Also an example of Face Doodling, since we see that someone drew a dick on Amir’s face while he was zoned out. "Couples Therapist Part 1" details how Amir hopes his therapy session with Jake will go as he explains it to the couples therapist. Part 2 is a nearly shot-for-shot remake of Part 1 where the appointment goes about how you'd expect. | |

Adam Westing: Rick Fox plays himself in several episodes as an egg-obsessed tractor thief. Ben Schwartz's career switching oddball character is highly speculated to just be Ben Schwartz himself. In the finale, Ben Schwartz shows up as himself and all the other Schwartz appearances are revealed to be separate identities. | |

Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: The defining character trait of Amir's offscreen father. According to Amir, he went AWOL during the Vietnam war by Faking the Dead three times in 18 months and sold out over 1000 of his companions, receiving the "Black Heart congressional medal of dishonor" for his efforts. Since then he has been dealing with problems ranging in scale from embarrassment over his son's actions to a Suicide Pact he made with Murph's dad by moving away. | |

Opinion Flip-Flop | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_126e7451 | comment |
Opinion Flip Flop: Amir, as seen in "Opinions," has a compulsion to agree with every opinion Jake has. Jake deliberately changes his stated opinions repeatedly, leading to Amir tying himself into knots as he tries to agree with him every single time. Amir on the 2008 presidential election: "I don't know, I'm like conflicted because one guy says the other guy is bad and then the other guy says the other person is bad, so, like, I think I'm just going to vote for the last person I hear talk."

Phoney Call: Amir attempts this in "On the Phone," but blows it by talking in the phone about how he's pretending to be on the phone to trick Jake. Downplayed in that he does have a listener, as it turns out he's leaving a really long message on Leron's answering machine. | |

Mirror Routine | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_138dd240 | comment |
Mirror Routine: In "Mirror Image," Jake and Amir coincidentally sneeze at the exact same moment, which spurs Amir to start mirroring Jake's movements until a fed-up Jake manages to get him to spill water on his own keyboard. Parodied in "Cereal Thief": Jake plays along for a few seconds before abruptly taking back the bowl of cereal Amir was trying to sneak out of the kitchen. | |

Non Sequitur | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_1495d0e6 | comment |
"A [noun] for this [rhyming noun] makes [plural noun] [verb] [something]" ex. "A Zinfandel for this infidel makes me think, don't ask, do tell," or "A chinstrap for this thin chap makes the fat booty go clap." For some reason, this tends to get followed up with a Too Much Information confession, Jake's preferred format being "I [past-tense verb] my [family member] at a [place]." | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Amir sometimes comes off as an Annoying Younger Sibling to Jake. Particularly visible in "Angry Birds" when he gets Mom (in this case, a weary Streeter) involved when things don't go his way. In "Nuggets," the loss of Amir's chicken nuggets is treated like a classic cinematic Disposable Woman situation, with direct references to Mystic River and Contagion (2011). The end tag of "Gay Marriage" veers into a discussion of how people who shart deserve equal rights. Notwithstanding all the past occasions that Jake has expressed a desire not to work near Amir, in "Gum" his declaration that "I wanna switch desks" is given all the weight of a request for a divorce. | |

Ripped from the Headlines: A number of episodes have Jake and Amir discussing then-current events, such as the 2008 stock market crash, the swine flu epidemic, and the BP oil spill. This trend lead to the characters being pulled out of retirement for "Donald Trump" in 2016 and "Social Distance Scroll" in 2020 (the latter on the HeadGum channel). | |

Unreliable Narrator: Amir. Particularly highlighted by "Amir Faces the Harsh Reality of Dating," which depicts the type of incident that we'd typically only get through Secondhand Storytelling and shows how Amir changes it after the fact. Still, the bizarreness of a story is no metric as several have proved completely factual despite Jake's skepticism. | |

Oblivious to His Own Description | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_1cbde068 | comment |
Oblivious to His Own Description: Many times with Amir. Subverted in "Mom": In "Online Joke," Jake gets a message from Rosie that makes him laugh, so Amir goes to Rosie's computer to find out what he wrote. He doesn't get what's funny about the line "Like a retarded chipmunk with glasses." In "Ace and Jocelyn Episode 7 - Space Twins!" Jake tries to talk his new girlfriend Rima out of various stylistic choices that make her resemble Amir, which Amir agrees with because "only nerds wear glasses" and "spiky hair is for homos." She gets fed up and leaves. "Video Chat": In "Mountain Hiker Part 2," Amir orders several fast food deliveries to pass the time while trapped in a giant net. The second time he specifies that he's not "the freak nerd in the net" but "the cool guy in a net" and is mildly surprised by the coincidence of two guys being trapped in nets in the area. | |

Heterosexual Life-Partners | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_1dfbbf31 | comment |
Heterosexual Life-Partners: Or Amir wishes they were at least. He repeatedly tries to enforce the idea that he and Jake are best friends, even when Jake makes it explicitly clear that he wants nothing to do with Amir. Nevertheless, Jake ultimately spends more time with Amir than just about anyone else, sometimes willingly, and has made at least two major career decisions based on wanting to continue working with him. In "Real Estate Agent" they even shop for an apartment together, although by 2020's "Social Distance Scroll" they haven't seen each other in five years. As of "Podcast Ideas" they're back together for the foreseeable future. | |

Stealth Pun: Unlike the other videos, "Letter" is in Letterbox format. "iPhone Case" has nothing to do with a phone case and instead deals with an attempt by Amir to jack an iPhone on the subway. The real meaning of the title only becomes clear at the end of the episode when Amir finds out that he has a "case" against the other passengers for their subsequent Disproportionate Retribution. | |

Neologizer: "Ace" has Jake admitting that he made up several words and used them in front of Amir just to see if he'd steal them. "Ace" (meaning "cool") and "gullies" (seemingly meaning "friends") remained part of Amir's vocabulary for the rest of the series. Oddly enough, the word "ace" really is used this way in British slang (a more specific translation would be "excellent"). In "Laundry" Amir introduces the verb "beef" (ex. "beefing," "having a beef") as an Unusual Euphemism for Manly Tears. This word also appears in subsequent episodes and is used by both Amir and Jake. | |

Only Sane Man: Jake whenever Amir plays Rabble Rouser or when another bizarre character shows up to supplement him, particularly any time Ben Schwartz is on board. "Double Date" and "Movie Date" push his Straight Man role to its limits by surrounding him with casts so weird that Amir's presence is practically a footnote. The finale's "Ben Schwartz 2" takes the cake by putting him in the same room with every single character played by Ben Schwartz over the series' run. | |

Entendre Failure | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_2d043142 | comment |
Entendre Failure: When Mike, Jake's replacement at work when he briefly changes jobs, mentions a former "partner" and asks Amir if he's ever had a "BF," Amir thinks he's referring to his best friend and talks about Jake. He then suggests that Mike should be his "partner" and is put off and confused when Mike responds flirtatiously. Mike apologizes for assuming he was "out" and Amir confirms that he's not out, because they're both indoors. In "Fashion Tips," Jake confronts Amir with the fact that the fashion advice he's been following is clearly from women's magazines: In "Wingman," Amir introduces himself to a girl Jake likes and is confused by the fact that she can see, as Jake used the word "blind" to describe how hard he'd go at it with her. Similarly, in "Movie Date": | |

Ax-Crazy: Amir has threatened Jake with a hammer, stabbed him in the abdomen, kicked his tongue off and smacked him around countless times, all with little or no provocation...and that's the guy he likes. Early on, he also reacted violently to any real or perceived slight toward Jake, to the point of putting at least one coworker in the hospital. In the finale he publicly castrates himself offscreen, proving that even Amir isn't safe from Amir. Keeping all of the above in mind, Jake is far more scared of Murph than he is of Amir. 'Nuff said. | |

Borrowed Catchphrase | |

Jake will invite Amir to dinner or offer him chicken nuggets if he needs to distract him, bribe him or just plain steal back his attention. He also uses Amir's tendency to take childish games very seriously (Opposite Day, "If I flip this page you're a nerd," etc.) to his advantage, and learns to play along with the Ace and Jocelyn videos, inventing plot points on the spot to get Amir to do what he wants. On his own end, Amir occasionally shows a startlingly well-developed sense of how to manipulate Jake. See "Couch" for an example of their respective Genre Savviness clashing. Amir wins. | |

Jake's engagement to his blind date Nico in the "Double Date" series is the result of a twisted hybrid of Shotgun Wedding and Accidental Proposal. Specifically, Murph threatens Jake into proposing to Nico so that he'll be off the market and out of the Love Triangle with Emily, and Jake acquiesces on the assumption that Nico, who hasn't spoken a word to him or interacted with him in any way all evening, will never accept.

Not Helping Your Case | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_33f1c576 | comment |
Not Helping Your Case: In "Kobayashi," Jake forces Amir to cut to the end of the story he's telling, to which Amir tells him that world record hot dog eater Kobayashi is in the staff kitchen because Amir owes him lunch. As Jake gets up to catch Amir in the lie, Amir stops him and says, "If you trusted me you don't even have to verify it with your eyes, you would just believe in your heart that it's real and you don't have to go see it." Jake is unimpressed and keeps walking. Cut to Amir feeding Kobayashi hot dogs in the kitchen while a stunned Jake watches. In "Vandalism," Amir praises the office vandal as a hero (while wearing a cape) and insists that if he happens to be in the security cam footage, it's only because he was trying to stop the crime. He's not in the footage, and the vandal is Will, who was trying to frame him. Ben Schwartz's characters always hesitate conspicuously when asked their names, and often assure Jake and Amir unprompted that they've never met them before. They really are different people, and those really are their names. | |

Fourth-Date Marriage | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_35e077 | comment |
Fourth-Date Marriage: Jake's engagement to his blind date Nico in the "Double Date" series is the result of a twisted hybrid of Shotgun Wedding and Accidental Proposal. Specifically, Murph threatens Jake into proposing to Nico so that he'll be off the market and out of the Love Triangle with Emily, and Jake acquiesces on the assumption that Nico, who hasn't spoken a word to him or interacted with him in any way all evening, will never accept. Guess what... In "Movie Date," Doobs proposes to and marries Jake's date Julie on the spot after finding out that she likes Amir. Since the guy hitching them is movie theater usher Sulu Candles, Jake questions the legality of this. | |

Properly Paranoid: In "Instagram" Amir is convinced that the changes to Instagram's privacy policy will result in Mark Zuckerberg selling his photos to outside advertisers. Jake points out that his pictures aren't very marketable, citing one of him "planking at a candlelight vigil" as an example. It ends up on a can of Red Bull. In both "Swine Flu" and "Ebola" Amir is concerned about contracting the aforementioned viruses, which seems irrational until further questioning by Jake reveals that he took specific, unlikely actions that could plausibly have led to viral transmission, such as french-kissing a pig while it sneezed. | |

As Jake begins to give him attention, Amir gets more and more confident making Jake more and more angry. As for Jake, he starts to reveal deep-seated insecurities halfway through the series, becoming less of a straight man and more of a defensive douchebag. | |

Noodle Incident: In "Snowstorm", apparently whatever Jake did on March 15, 1999 was bad enough that it could put him in prison.

For example, "the duck thing, the high school track fiasco, and the second duck thing". | |

Amir's relationship to reality is tenuous enough to justify it, but the show still gets some fun out of being aware of it: | |

"Just Joking" Justification | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_47b6a1e5 | comment |
"Just Joking" Justification: Amir often claims that he did something "as a goof." Jake similarly tends to defend himself by claiming that everybody else needs to "learn how to be funny." | |

Intergenerational Friendship | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_47d35854 | comment |
Intergenerational Friendship: Amir's "oldest friend" Cheryl is in fact an absurdly youthful-looking 50-year-old that he met yesterday. There's also Mickey, who has a daughter old enough to be getting married in "DJ Business" (taking place in 2014, when Amir is 31 years old). | |

Constantly Changing Name | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_4860478e | comment |
Constantly Changing Name: Doobs keeps changing his bizarre name (Penis Anthony Doubineux) in ways that keep the bizarre part intact, whether by simply switching the last name out (i.e. "Doubineaux" for "Hudson") or just adding on a string of non-names just as absurd as "Penis." Amir unfailingly manages to make a nickname he hates out of the new name, forcing him to change his name again on his next appearance. Ben Schwartz's appearances are a subversion, as each actually represents a different character. Amir uses a different name on each of his scrolls, such as "Amir Raymond Blumois," "Amir Judy Blumenfeld," and "Roderigo O." | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Many times. "Auto Tune the News": Fired, which involves Jake and Amir trying to pitch Ace and Jocelyn as a web series, ends with Amir suggesting that he and Jake "keep this up" ("Just the two of us, making videos together at our desks. Sounds really boring"). There's also a reference to the short-lived CollegeHumor Show ("Huge news, everyone, we're on MTV!") and a subtle nod to audience reaction to the role reversal episodes: In "Pizza," Jake complains about Amir's characterization shift in a way that seems ripped right from the comments: In "Last Day" Amir tries for a Meaningful Echo and only makes Jake uncomfortable. The exchange at the beginning of "Printer." note For context, a week's gap in uploads after the "Road Trip" storyline had caused speculation that the series was over. In several later episodes, Jake comments that Amir is running out of material. "Costumes Part 3," chronologically the last Halloween Episode, has this almost Beckettian exchange (which turns out to be Amir doing a "gay prisoner" character while Jake responds seriously): The finale consists of virtually nothing but this, as Jake and Amir attempt to make a web series based on their lives called Amir and Jake. | |

Murph and Jake. Jake is mortally terrified of Murph's Hair-Trigger Temper, and Murph constantly targets Jake as the object of his wrath, even when it should more reasonably be directed at somebody else. They still consider each other friends, to the point of Murph having Jake over to back him up when he intended to propose to his girlfriend, and even Murph's bullying sometimes turns out to have been a bizarre Trust-Building Blunder on his part.

Downer Ending: The finale refers extensively to the real production of the show through a plot about the fictional Jake and Amir trying to mastermind a web series about themselves. Unlike their real counterparts, though, the fictional Jake and Amir fail in spectacular fashion and are fired from their jobs at CollegeHumor. While clearing out their desks, they briefly seem to be onto something when they toy around with a low-budget camcorder shoot of one of their scripts—the actual early episode "Beer"—before deciding that it's not very good and throwing in the towel. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: The earliest episodes involve Hurwitz and Blumenfeld messing around with video editing, improv comedy, and brief gags, many involving Medium Awareness and No Fourth Wall. The characterization of Amir as socially inept, attention-seeking and obsessed with Jake began to emerge with "Tattoo" and "Practical Joke," and the classic opposite-desks formula officially debuts with "Beer." | |

Instant Humiliation: Just Add YouTube!: "Gallon Challenge" and "iPhone Case." Subverted in "Auto-Tune the News"; Amir acts embarrassed by The Gregory Brothers' sampling of his needy Facebook video messages to Jake, but it gradually comes out that he paid them to do it. | |

Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_540668c2 | comment |
Offscreen Reality Warp: In Carbs, Amir starts the video by claiming that he’s not eating any carbs this month. From that point on, every time the camera cuts back to him, he’s seen with a different carb-loaded food in his hand- first a sandwich, then a bagel, then a slice of pizza, then a bowl of pasta, then a plate of brownies. In Los Angeles and other episodes, Amir is able to put on and take off sunglasses quickly between shots, which Jake then points out. | |

Mistaken for Gay | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_561dab6b | comment |
Mistaken for Gay: In the "Sick Day" arc, Jake's replacement at work thinks that he and Amir are dating after Amir eagerly befriends him as a substitute for Jake while having no idea that gay people exist. In "The Godfather," Sarah and Pat discuss the nature of Jake and Amir's relationship, oblivious to the discussed parties beating each other up in the hallway behind them. Sarah speculates that the two may be lovers, a suggestion Pat rejects until Jake and Amir emerge from the hall, panting, sweaty and shirtless. In "Dating Coach," Amir's dating coach doesn't so much mistake Jake for gay as arbitrarily decide he's gay, to Jake's irritation. | |

Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_56d216c6 | comment |
Obsessive Love Letter: "Moving Part 2" has Jake and Amir stumbling on the first draft of a letter Amir wrote to Jake on their second day working together. It looks to be at least 50 pages long and quickly devolves into a transcription of "Smooth" by Santana and Rob Thomas. In "Snack Attack," Pat seeks Jake's advice on what to write in an email to Sarah and ends up intently transcribing what he doesn't realize is just a standard clash between Jake and Amir, leading to lines like "I'm watching you, so don't steal anything from me" and "I'm going to break your fucking neck." She loves it. | |

Plot Hole: In a case of Real Life Writes the Plot induced by CollegeHumor moving its video production to LA, the "Road Trip" storyline explains how Jake and Amir wind up at the LA office, but clearly indicates that in the context of the series they're the only ones who go, with much of the plot revolving around Amir being singled out for departure and Jake ultimately deciding to go with him. However, in subsequent episodes the New York cast appear at the LA office with no explanation. (Elsewhere, Hardly Working explains that they moved offices by accident.) | |

That Satisfying "Crunch!": Amir reflexively attacks things and people in response to the emotions of the moment. In "Drawer" when he walks into the open drawer of a filing cabinet, Jake tries to talk him into laughing it off. He tries it for about three seconds and then starts attacking the cabinet with a baseball bat. | |

Big Brother Worship | |

Throughout the 4-part "Brother" series Jake, who is being scammed for money by his older brother Kumail, is only angered by Amir's repeated attempts to warn him that the guy isn't trustworthy, cumulating in his accepting an invitation to go with Kumail on a "weekend camping trip," all while Amir knows firsthand that Kumail plans on ditching him that night. Jake turns up subdued to the office on Monday and talks to Amir about the fun time he and his brother had camping. In a rare moment of sensitivity, Amir doesn't call him on the lie, instead asking him if he'd like to go camping with him when he's not "camped out" from the supposed first trip. Jake eagerly jumps on the chance to go camping "again," but quietly thanks Amir, showing that he's aware of, and grateful for, what Amir is doing for him. | |

Obsessed Are the Listmakers: Amir is constantly writing bizarre lists and seeking feedback on them from Jake. In "Date Ideas" Jake speculates that he sits up at night writing them. While it's unclear what impulse drives this behavior, what is clear is that he's perfectionistic about it by inexplicable standards of his own, going as far as writing the rhyming top 10 lists on scrolls. | |

All Jews Are Cheapskates: Amir has taken it as far as demanding to be paid back for a single stick of gum or an 80-cent bag of sandwich cookies shared between four people.

Right for the Wrong Reasons | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_83cef301 | comment |
Right for the Wrong Reasons: Throughout "Pizza," Jake is frustrated by Amir's speculation that Peyton Manning did his Papa John's advertisements for free. Although Amir's argument is that he might really like pizza that much, Will points out that Peyton Manning owned 21 Papa John's locations at the time and therefore had a significant stake in the endorsement, meaning that Amir is probably right. In "Compost," Jake loses a bet with Amir about whether or not "gid" (Amir's answer to the question "What's twelve minus three?") is a real word. Jake's mistake is in not specifying that the word should mean anything in a mathematical context, because it is a real word, referring to a disease affecting sheep. | |

Prank Call: Amir tends to take this to Refuge in Audacity levels. In "Hotel Room" he calls room service until he's confronted by staff, cries until the hotel clerk leaves out of boredom, then immediately starts dialing again while still in tears. | |

The Tape Knew You Would Say That: In "Loud Movie," Amir watches a movie that Leron shot with him as the lead. His character in the movie keeps saying lines that are perfectly-timed responses to things Jake is saying to Amir. This comes right after Amir himself has repeatedly failed to predict what Jake was about to say, leading Jake to comment, "He's better at it than you are." In a few of the "Scroll" episodes, Amir's rhyming Top 10 lists progress into comments on the situation unfolding in real time, as in "Fish Scroll" when Jake throws a pencil that spears him in the throat (something even Jake didn't predict). In "Finale Part 5: The Auditions," Amir manages to not only argue with but strangle Doobs through his pre-recorded audition tape. | |

Life Embellished: A web show about two CollegeHumor employees named Jake Hurwitz and Amir Blumenfeld, made by two CollegeHumor employees named Jake Hurwitz and Amir Blumenfeld. More so early on when the two were actually employed as writers for the site, and the desks they filmed at were really where they worked; as the show was picked up by the site and gained popularity, it eventually became their full-time job, making their desks effectively just the set where they filmed their skits. Some viewers were confused about where the line was, to the point where Hurwitz was frequently asked if Amir was "really like that" (he isn't: the two are best friends in Real Life). | |

Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_94be6b61 | comment |
Coordinated Clothes: Amir often tries to dress to match Jake or obtain clothes that Jake already has, while Jake is horrified by the idea that people might think he coordinated with Amir on purpose. In "New Shirt" Amir admits that he's trying to ease his way into just sharing a wardrobe with Jake. | |

Not Me This Time: In "Brother Part 1" Jake's brother Kumail throws Amir's cell phone against the wall to stop him from calling Jake. Since Amir's already done this to his own phone, everyone easily believes that he did it again. In "Vandalism," Will, not Amir, is the office vandal. | |

Not So Above It All | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_96b89043 | comment |
In "Screenplay," Amir writes a 400+-page screenplay in which the only line of dialogue is "Interior—I don't give a flaming fart." Jake's speculation that this is a typo, given that it's identical to all of the scene headers, is called into question by the reveal that Jake himself auditioned for the lead and didn't get the part. | |

Jake frequently uses short sentences beginning with "Bad" to refer to anything Amir is saying, doing or wearing ("Bad joke," "Bad vest"), finishes Amir's dialogue with him, or acknowledges Amir's effort with the word "Nice." He also ends many of his assertions with a question, right? | |

"Ace" has Jake admitting that he made up several words and used them in front of Amir just to see if he'd steal them. "Ace" (meaning "cool") and "gullies" (seemingly meaning "friends") remained part of Amir's vocabulary for the rest of the series. Oddly enough, the word "ace" really is used this way in British slang (a more specific translation would be "excellent"). | |

Not Hyperbole: Jake doesn't think it's funny that Amir taunted a starving snake, but Leron "was dying." Literally, because the same snake bit him the week before. | |

Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Amir is far more interested in having Jake as a captive audience than in working and, in fact, has no idea what his own job entails. The finale reveals that Jake isn't much better, having done pretty much nothing but argue with Amir in eight years of working at CollegeHumor, with the work we saw them do on-camera ("two auditions" and "one or two table reads") being their most palpable contributions to the company. That, and they've been coming to work "mainly only on Tuesdays." Ace and Jocelyn, the astronaut accountants from outer space, are never shown doing anything related to accounting. Justified by the fact that Amir likely doesn't actually know what accountants do and just wanted to do some kind of sci-fi show.note And even there, his knowledge may be limited. | |

Love Triangle | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_b7e0c5ff | comment |
Love Triangle: The Jake and Amir: Girlfriend series starts out as a Type 4, as Jake falls in love with Amir’s girlfriend Lerona. Eventually the roles of Jake and Amir switch after Jake confesses to Lerona and she chooses him over Amir ...and then gets promptly run over by a bus. The "Interpreters" series kicks off one between Jake, Sarah and Pat after the latter two have a one-night stand from which Pat emerges smitten and Sarah indifferent. Jake later finds a more formidable rival in new guy Dave. Emily is happily dating Murph but is also blatantly trying to ensnare Jake. Jake wants nothing to do with her, but Murph doesn't believe him. | |

Short-Distance Phone Call: In Chat Roulette, Jake goes on Chat Roulette at work, and against all odds, sees Amir. It’s then revealed that Amir was contacting him from under his desk the entire time. In "Elevator," Amir calls Jake to say goodbye to him while they're both stuck in the same elevator. Played With in "Hang Up," in which Amir talks to Jake as if they're on the phone while they're both seated at their desks. "VideoGames" has Sam and Amir gaming while talking through headsets in the same room, in Jake's apartment. | |

Accidental Hero: In "Baby Bjorn," Amir brings a baby of unknown origin to work and Jake tries to call the police on him, only for a cop to show up and hail him as the Heroic Bystander who took his son off his hands so he could apprehend a shooter. It's pretty clear to Jake that Amir just took advantage of the situation to steal a baby for the lulz, but when he offers a text from Amir as evidence to that effect, the cop destroys his phone. | |

Wrong Restaurant: In "April Fools II," Amir is furious at Jake for describing In-N-Out as being "like McDonald's," which got him laughed at by the staff when he tried to order McNuggets. In "Coupons," Amir thinks every restaurant in the city has a one-time-only deal where "you order something that they don't have on the menu but they'll still give it to you if you openly weep and you, like, throw a fit." In "Thanksgiving Scroll," Amir suggests getting "a Whopper from Wendy's and Dunkaroos from the D's." | |

Reading the Stage Directions Out Loud | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_c1d5b78 | comment |
Reading the Stage Directions Out Loud: In "Movie Debate," Amir pays Pat to help him have a normal conversation with Jake by listening in on their back-and-forth and feeding him lines over chat. It backfires badly when Pat gets a phone call. Similarly, "Jordan" has Jake sending an actor to pretend to be him at the office. In "Screenplay," Amir writes a 400+-page screenplay in which the only line of dialogue is "Interior—I don't give a flaming fart." Jake's speculation that this is a typo, given that it's identical to all of the scene headers, is called into question by the reveal that Jake himself auditioned for the lead and didn't get the part. | |

Nice Guy: Pat is usually portrayed as a well-meaning, good-natured guy who is the hapless victim of Jake and Amir's shenanigans. That said, he has an occasionally-seen unscrupulous side, at one point withdrawing money from Jake's bank account after he hears Amir announcing his PIN number. Murph is this when his Hair-Trigger Temper isn't activated. Unfortunately, the man is a walking Berserk Button. | |

Quite a few of Amir's associates qualify too, including Doobs, Den and Cheryl. Fired has CEO Alan Avery, who is constantly exposing himself at the office and prank-calling people, wears roller blades at all times and insists that Jake replace all verbs related to ambulation with verbs related to rollerblading. | |

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic: The show's style of verbal comedy almost did a complete 180 over the course of its run, from heavily averting this trope in earlier episodes to eventually playing it up for humor with Amir's stagey, intricate monologues (some of which he admits In-Universe to scripting in advance) and Jake's tendency toward improbably detailed Secondhand Storytelling. | |

Tell Him I'm Not Speaking to Him: In "Interpreters" Amir circumvents Jake's order not to speak to him for the rest of the day by getting Sam to talk to Jake for him. Jake counters by enlisting Sarah to talk to Amir for him, only to insult her repeatedly while trying to deny that he's interested in her until she utilizes Sam to tell him not to speak to her again. Taken to heights of absurdity by Amir in "Silent Treatment" when he tries to have an entire conversation with Jake through Sarah, only to fight with her, extend the silent treatment to her and continue trying to negotiate the conversation: | |

"Double Date" establishes a particularly weird backstory between Amir and Murph: Amir has been Murph's butler his entire life because Amir's father was employed as a butler to Murph's father and backed out of a Suicide Pact with him, causing him to owe the family a life debt. | |

Lower-Deck Episode: In "Password," which depicts an exchange between Will and Paul the CEO, Jake and Amir get precisely one second of screentime. (The episode interacts with "4th of July Scroll," in which they hear the argument going on offscreen and turn their heads to look; the same footage is reused in "Password.") | |

Waxing Lyrical: Lampshaded in "Master Cleanse": Amir does this enough that it almost qualifies as a Verbal Tic. One of the more memorable examples occurs in "Couch For Sale" as Mickey trashes his apartment while they're still on the phone: In "I.M's" we see this exchange in response to a particularly intense instant message from Amir: "Milk Man Part 1": | |

Friendship Moment | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_d6b5f05f | comment |
Friendship Moment: The conclusion of the "Sick Day" story arc has Jake returning to his old job and retaking his desk opposite Amir. He then agrees to take Amir to McDonalds for dinner, and the episode ends with a hug. There's also the ending to Part 3 that was cut from the YouTube upload. Amir is crying too hard to accept Jake's departing handshake, so Jake gives up and walks away. Amir catches the elevator at the last second and holds out his hand, to which Jake puts his stuff down and wraps him in a hug instead. When they get to Jake's floor Amir refuses to let go, and Jake agrees to ride the elevator with him two more times. Throughout the 4-part "Brother" series Jake, who is being scammed for money by his older brother Kumail, is only angered by Amir's repeated attempts to warn him that the guy isn't trustworthy, cumulating in his accepting an invitation to go with Kumail on a "weekend camping trip," all while Amir knows firsthand that Kumail plans on ditching him that night. Jake turns up subdued to the office on Monday and talks to Amir about the fun time he and his brother had camping. In a rare moment of sensitivity, Amir doesn't call him on the lie, instead asking him if he'd like to go camping with him when he's not "camped out" from the supposed first trip. Jake eagerly jumps on the chance to go camping "again," but quietly thanks Amir, showing that he's aware of, and grateful for, what Amir is doing for him. Almost in "Business Card�. Amir gets his own business card, but it’s completely worthless; it’s written in invisible ink, and even then, it only says, “Tweet at me, bitches!� with no contact info listed. Just to be nice, Jake sends Amir a tweet complimenting him for the card. Amir’s response? “Don’t fucking pity me!" At the end of Fired Jake finally calls Amir his best friend. Amir ruins it by insisting that they're best best friends. Subverted in Feast; Amir tries to have an impromptu Thanksgiving dinner at the office with Jake, because he doesn’t have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving. Jake says, “I can’t believe I’m about to do this,� and then… locks Amir in the office so he can’t crash Jake’s Thanksgiving dinner. Played straight in the immediate follow-up "Driving Home," which reveals that Amir somehow managed to make it to Jake's Thanksgiving anyway; after realizing that Amir's family refused to tell him where they were, Jake ultimately decides he's glad it happened. | |

Vitriolic Best Buds | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_d7fc9fd0 | comment |
Vitriolic Best Buds: Jake's precise reaction to Amir varies anywhere from acknowledging and treating him as a friend to trying to murder him in cold blood. It's discussed at length by Sarah and Pat in "The Godfather." Murph and Jake. Jake is mortally terrified of Murph's Hair-Trigger Temper, and Murph constantly targets Jake as the object of his wrath, even when it should more reasonably be directed at somebody else. They still consider each other friends, to the point of Murph having Jake over to back him up when he intended to propose to his girlfriend, and even Murph's bullying sometimes turns out to have been a bizarre Trust-Building Blunder on his part. See "Trust Fall 2": | |

Chekhov's Gunman | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: Caused by Real Life Writes the Plot. From 2008–09 Sam Reich, CollegeHumor's then-Director of Original Content, made fairly regular appearances as a Sidekick and Ignored Enamored Underling to Amir. After he was promoted to President of Original Content, his appearances were limited to a single fourth-wall-breaking gag at the end of the All-Nighter episode "Hoops" (in which he complains about the sketch) before his character reappears for a major role in the finale, finally firing Jake and Amir once and for all. Despite his vast shift in status, a Continuity Nod makes it clear that it's still the same character. | |

Amir is far more interested in having Jake as a captive audience than in working and, in fact, has no idea what his own job entails. The finale reveals that Jake isn't much better, having done pretty much nothing but argue with Amir in eight years of working at CollegeHumor, with the work we saw them do on-camera ("two auditions" and "one or two table reads") being their most palpable contributions to the company. That, and they've been coming to work "mainly only on Tuesdays." | |

Who Would Want to Watch Us?: In New Website Amir creates a website about him and Jake, and, as Jake puts it, "it just seems really boring." Both Fired and the finale end with an exchange between Jake and Amir in which Jake dismisses the premise of their own web series as not very good. | |

Subverted in "Rapping" with the introduction of one of Amir's weirder catchphrases, in response to Jake questioning the logistics of the story in his latest Piss-Take Rap: "Away Message" and "Work Out Clothes" are both Amir's dreams. | |

Jerkass: Jake becomes one of these as the series goes on. His behavior towards Amir is typically justifiably harsh, but there are plenty of times where he acts like a completely self-centered jackass who'll exploit Amir or grandstand around others, as well as sometimes disagreeing with or mocking Amir for the sake of it (or in spite of actually being the wrong one). Amir starts out as obnoxious, but mostly harmless, but his antics and overall personality become increasingly malicious as the series progresses. The few times Dave appears, he exhibits Jerkass tendencies - reminiscing about domestic abuse and pursuing Sarah even when he knows Jake is interested. | |

There's even at least one other Jake and one other Amir, site designer Amir Cohen. Discussed in "Script Notes" when Dan questions Amir's decision to name every character in his script "Jake." Amir replies, "We don't want to spoon-feed our audience." In Ben Schwartz's first appearance, playing Amir's dating coach, he introduces himself as "Amir Blumenfeld."

In "Birfday" his birthday coupon book for Jake includes a coupon for a free punch in the face delivered to the victim of Jake's choosing, "females allowed/encouraged," which he quickly alters to "females only" when Jake tries to cash the coupon against Murph. | |

Psmith Psyndrome: In "Beerd" the word "beerd" (used by Amir to describe a beard made out of beer) is pronounced the same as "beard," but Jake can apparently hear the difference ("What's a beerd?" "Well, you know what a beard is, right?") The two then break character to discuss whether this makes any sense. | |

Running Gag | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Numerous, they tend to evolve with the tastes of the writers. Since 2011, Amir has taken to writing "Top 10" lists. The tamest of these include date ideas, beers, and cars to hotbox. Amir will use a grating high voice until Jake yells at him to stop. 2013 saw the introduction of a new extra Will, who eats his own shit. Both characters bring this up to discredit his opinions. Jake has had homosexual encounters offscreen with his cousin, nephew, father, and his brother. Whenever Jake becomes insecure, he and Amir undergo a full Personality Swap. Jake giving a detailed description of something Amir did offscreen. Jake offering to take Amir to the hospital. Amir's shit-stained khaki pants. Also, Amir's terrible odor and eating habits. Many of the early videos ended with Amir saying Jake's name as if to start another conversation. The joke extended to Jake's computer software reading Amir's IMs aloud in "Instant Messages," Jake reading a note Amir left him in "Pictionary", and Jake reading through Amir's attempts to use Google (using the address bar) in "Jake's Computer." Jake complaining about Amir's hands. | |

Rhymes on a Dime | |
Jake and Amir (Web Video) / int_fb17af62 | comment |
Amir has many, including frequent rhyming, use of puns, stammering demonstrative pronouns ("this, this, this, this") and (especially in earlier episodes) using the word "sauce" for emphasis ("Sorry for the lie-sauce"), ending sentences with "so," muttering the word "stupid," and saying "nay" in lieu of "not" or "no" ("I did nay"). These tendencies are picked up by Jake any time the roles are reversed. He's also in the habit of describing something as "more than [adjective]" for emphasis, even where the end result is nonsensical (i.e. describing a door as "more than locked"). Jake acknowledges it (before doing it a bunch of times himself) in the "Road Trip" series. | |
