Jack is BACK! But who knows the least Jack? Play along with us in this (almost) unedited episode of VGA as we determine the LOSER!
Quick note: These episodes are pretty much unedited. If you watch our show often, you know I usually cut out almost every second we don’t talk, but in this one all of the silence was filled with the trivia questions. I made that edit, and it was annoying to follow along as a viewer, so here you are! The cool thing is you can’t see what we enter for our answers, so it’s great for playing along!

Fraser is a bad winner, unsubbing lolz jk Fraser is teh awesome.
I’m actually really glad you talked over the ‘host’ for that game, because he sounded really obnoxious. I don’t really like that kind of humour, it makes me want to punch people.
My friend and I played the PC version of this so much that we had all the questions and answers memorized and it just became a contest to see who could time the buzz-in correctly.
Well.. the Jack attacks are unpredictable.. one minute, your in the positive amounts, the next minute your losing 4k a pop for a wrong keyword..
still i’d like to get this game.
Seeing this and comparing the game to the gutted PC version makes me just sad
re: Fraser’s winning comment at the end.
As sad as it undoubtedly makes you to hear this, after seeing that, I feel like you’re my long lost brother. I felt like I was watching myself play that game. Not just similar, but identical.
How did Fraser win the “hair up there” questions? He is BALD.
Freisher’ s a bad winner, unwatching
xD

“It’s phosphorus, it didn’t even come up!”
Oh man, you guys are going to feel so stupid when you watch it yourselves and find out phosphorus was the first one to come up, but you all missed it.

I’d make a comment about never wanting to play this game with Fraser ever (seriously, I’ve had RISK games where people called me a cunt and I didn’t want to hit them as much as I wanted to hit Frasier in this game haha) but I find it really funny that he’s so proud about winning while the game announces that he’s ‘taking it from behind’.
you never played foursquare? geez no childhood man
Actually there IS a Wii version. I know because it is on my Amazon wish list.
why were you talking about feldspar in geography?
It was released on the Wii, but so far only for the USA unfortunately

Don’t buy the PC version:
1. Only TWO Players.
I find this extremely disappointing as there are limited episodes (73) and you’ll have to change players every round if you’ve got more than one friend.
2. The controls are fixed to the keyboard.
3. No online features (which means no future DLCs)
That was a fantastic episode, also becky looks hella good. UNSUBBING
You Don’t Know Jack is definitely a lot of fun. It’s kinda sad that it’s so hard to see everything the host says because he has so many different responses if you get things wrong. You have to love some of the stuff he says.
Also, someone else unsubbed. UNSUBBING!!!!!!!!!
Fraser, you’re gloating way too much for someone winning games solely off of a broken final round. :/
Deacon looks kinda like Mr. Bean when he frowns at Fraser at the end
I wish I could play with Becky. Id let her use my joystick.
Doubt she would enjoy playing with something so small.
Hey you told me that time we showed eachother our 2 inches of mightyness you wouldn’t bring it up again. HURTFULL
That was fun to watch! You really should do more of these, this game really complements your show’s format for guaranteed funtimes!
Fraser too cocky. UNSUBBING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How does this game compare to the Buzz series? Would appreciate an answer from anyone on that.
This game seems like fun, though a bit too intellectual or American for me. I’m not sure which.
Besides Fraser nobody knew that ? cannot be part of a windows file name, unsubbing.
Seriously great episode I lol’d alot.
Man usually I am pretty good at these kind of games but I only knew a few of the questions. And yeah sadly it suffers from the game show game fault, where basically the last round invalidates all the previous rounds because you can get insane scores.
I just played the very first game on my Windows 95 Laptop yesterday
Does somebody if this new one will ever be released in Europe?
I liked YDKJ but the problem with all these quiz-show games or quiz-shows in general is that the scoring is often really messed up. And I think the worst thing to do is to make the last round so valuable that it basically invalidates all rounds before that.
The second time through showed that the Jack Attack has this problem, I estimate that you will have have no more than 10.000$ difference when you get to it and that can easily be overcome if you are quick in that last round. And they could simply count correct answers within 1 second of someone getting it right, nobody reacts that fast. They could also delay showing that the answer was right by a little to allow other people to get it right.
I agree with you about the Jack Attack. I think that it could have been reduced in value to what it used to be like and it would have been ok. The old versions also had 21 question rounds instead of 10.
That said, I’m willing to accept it is part of the genre. The reason “game show” style trivia games which YDKJ is (Or was, it was on TV) do the “lightning round” is it creates tension before the end of the show. If one contestant can’t possibly pull out a victory then there’s no tension. That’s why the Jack Attack is the way it is. It keeps that tension up and forces people in the lead to do well on the Jack Attack to keep their lead. Ultimately it’s just a different style of game.
well after a quick scan of the comments i saw that some explained 4square lol so i don’t have to explain that.
i didn’t see anything about the platforms its on.
so…
You Don’t Know Jack is for 360, PS3, Wii, DS, and PC =)
http://www.youdontknowjack.com/
well thats what its website says lol
Also in response to that. The PC version is crippled. It only allows 2 players, local play only, no DLC. The Wii version has 4 players but no DLC or online (May be wrong about the online.). The Xbox and PS3 versions both have online and DLC, but only the Xbox has the “Big Button” controllers. There are “Buzz” controllers for the PS3 but they aren’t supported. Ultimately this makes the Xbox 360 version the best version of the game. (But just barely)
I remember this series, I have three different Jack games. This is making me want to go back and play those again. :p
The reason Question 8, game 1 is so easy is because the SUPREME pizza is the wrong answer of the game for SUPREME court children’s vitamins. You get $8,000 for picking that one, the right answer is only $4,000 (If you answer instantly).
Anyway, I love YDKJ, and it’s great with the controllers I’m about to mention below here. Only thing I don’t like is that the Jack Attack is worth a whole lot more than it used to be. Kind of makes the rest of the questions irrelevant. But then again, tivia games do that all the time.
Also, this game is really fun to use with the Big Button controllers (That’s what they’re called… and they’re officially licensed too.) that came with that crappy Scene It game. Only thing to be aware of is that when using the big button, all the prompts, instructions, even the oirentation of the answers shifts to match the controllers, but there’s a bug. After you screw someone it shows “A” as the button to select the screwee, but it’s actually “Y”.
…Except it is on the Wii. Just that version doesn’t have online.
Cookie Masterson isn’t the host of the first YDKJ.
Deacons face when Fraser says “you guys don’t hate me right?”….it kinda freaks me out.
Fraser is a cheater. unsubbing!
No mention of the “Taking it from behind achievement” unsubbing
About the four square thing… it’s like asking how many triangles can be seen in the triforce. Nope, it’s not three…
I HATE YOU FRASER! YOU WIN AT EVERYTHING!!!! UNSUBBING!!!!
Deacon fails so bad, he fails at failing
Deacon failing at failing equals Deacon winning =) LOL

You should have screwed Becky, Fraser!
YES. Been waiting for this one. You guys are now the greatest thing ever. Also, Fraser, if you’d have read my suggestion for this game on your blog, you would have gotten the Feldspar question right. Anyways, Four Square.
My IQ just went downhill…..
Poor winner unsubbing
Four Square is that game with the hacky sack. You have 4 squares that each participate stands in. The Four Squares put together make one large square.
You don’t know what Foursquare is, Unsubbing.
four square is a ball game played on a court marked out with a square that is divided in to four squares. 1 + 4 = 5. Seriously how have you never played this game at school? But then I’ve never played you don’t know Jack so I guess we’re even.
I’m amazed at how humble Fraser is while kicking their butts. It shows how good of a person he is to not point how good he is! Good job!
