Rudes: Removed the lolcowgo section as it no longer exists

A simple set of information to follow when editing the CWJki.

For any further assistance than this, join the Aunt Myrna's Parlour Discord server, and ask in the #wiki-wiki channel.

==Guidelines==
===Before you start===
* Check if the article you want to write isn't already made.
* Take a quick look at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext how to use Wikitext].
* When editing an article, look for any comments within its code that say if you shouldn't be adding something. Comments are hidden like this:

<pre></pre>

===Text formatting===
* Use '''bold text''' when first mentioning an article's subject.
* Use ''cursive text'' when referring to a YouTube channel.
* Use "quotation marks" when referring to a specific video or other piece of media.

===Date format===
Similarly to the CWCki, using the European date format is encouraged, as in:

''D/DD Month Year (Examples: 9 February 2007, 17 June 2018)''

Not only is this less confusing for international viewers than numerical dating (DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY), but it also saves us one whole byte of server space everytime we skip the comma usually used in American dating! Wow!

Use American spellings otherwise.

===Jokes===
To make the wiki easier to read for newcomers, try to minimize the use of [[Jackisms]] and jokes in articles. Yeah, Jack is fat, and you may mock him for being fat ''occasionally'', but don't overload every section of an article with jokes about how Jack is fat. And don't be edgy either. Keep it encyclopedic, with a little humor in between.

==General tips==
===Archiving===
Come across an interesting source, such as a controversial YouTube clip or information, made by Jack or his peers? '''''Archive it!''''' Jack is notorious for going '''''DFE''''' ("'''D'''elete '''F'''ucking '''E'''verything") for his "controversial" clips, anything he deems as being taken over by "haters" (such as his Whisk page when it got raided by trolls) or simply proven slightly wrong (such as Facebook statuses or comments) to preserve his fragile ego. Always take screenshots or archive webpages. The main archival tools are the [https://web.archive.org Wayback Machine] and [https://archive.today Archive Today].

===Kiwi Farms===
The wiki's server host has some weird behavior, blocking certain mentions of the Kiwi Farms. First, ensure you are using the ".st" domain instead of the ".net" one (Should be easy since the latter is no longer active). Second, thanks to JavaScript magic, you can use <code><nowiki>[[Kiwi Farms]]</nowiki></code> to redirect people to the Farms' section on the wiki, despite the redirect page technically not existing as the host also blocks it.

===Spell-checking===
Remember to check your edits for misspellings and any formatting errors before submitting. ChatGPT can work to spell-check and clean up code, however be wary of any obvious signs of AIslop usage, like an obnoxious usage of em-dashes and hallucinations.

==Editing tips==
===Using references===
Always reference! Use a healthy amount of references in articles. For now, we don't require any special labelling for references, just a link. To add a reference to an article, use the following code:

<pre><ref>Link goes here!</ref></pre>

If you want to reference one link multiple times, you can add a name tag to the reference:

<pre><ref name="TESTING">Link goes here!</ref></pre>

To cite that reference later in the article, here's what the code would look like:

<pre><ref name="TESTING"/></pre>

To add a "References" section at the end of an article, use the following code:

<pre>==References==
{{reflist}}</pre>

===Embedding videos===
Honestly just read the [https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo_(fork) EmbedVideo documentation] for now.

===Character age===
To write someone's birthday and age in an infobox or somewhere else:

<pre>{{Birth date and age|YYYY|MM|DD}}</pre>

To only calculate someone's age:

<pre>{{age|YYYY|MM|DDD}}</pre>

===Linebreaks===
On long pages, add this piece of code at the end of any section where you don't want infoboxes or images to bleed onto the next section:
<pre> </pre>

===Article labels===
To mark an article as a stub, add this at the '''top''' of an article:
<pre>{{Stub}}</pre>
To mark an article as an ongoing event, add this at the '''top''' of an article:
<pre>{{Ongoing}}</pre>
To clear up a common misconception on a subject, use the Jack-U label at the relevant section:
<pre>{{Lesson|Hey, X is not true. Y, actually.}}</pre>
To add a list of to-dos of an article, add this either on top of the article, or right after any relevant section:
<pre>{{Agenda|
* A
* B
* C}}</pre>

===Adding quotes===
{{quote|This is a quote.|A bloke being quoted.}}
You can add a (humorous) quote to an article like so:
<pre>{{quote|This is a quote.|A bloke being quoted.}}</pre>

===Infoboxes===
{{infobox
|title = Jack Fatfani
|image = [[File:Jack dog shirt.jpg|250px]]
|caption = Image caption! Jack being really fat.
|header1 = Header on row 1
|label1 = Label 1

|label2 = Label 2
|data2 = Data 2A Data 2B Data 2C
|header3 = Header on row 3
|label3 = Label 3
|data3 = Data 3
|}}
We use a simple infobox format for now. Mind the picture size; leave it as is.
<pre>{{infobox
|title = Jack Fatfani
|image = [[File:Jack dog shirt.jpg|250px]]
|caption = Image caption! Jack being really fat.

Jack and sexuality

2025-11-23T21:51:20Z

Rudes: /* Jack's view */

{{stub}}
The ''Cooking With Jack Show'' has a weirdly sexual vibe, with Jack moaning with his eyes closed and stuffing his mouth often while eating on camera. Jack seems to derive great pleasure from being seen stuffing his face with meat in particular on his show. Outside of food however, Jack seems to have little desire in actual intercourse, and rarely, if ever, mentions it.

==Jack's view==
In an early episode of ''[[F as in Frank]]'', Jack states that he believes sexuality to be a choice, which has famously been proven wrong. Jack believes that he has simply chosen to be straight.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdVaXElbqI8&t=209s</ref>

==Heterosexuality==
It is an undeniable fact that Jack had engaged in intercourse with women at least twice; once with ex-wife Karen to create [[Garrett Scalfani|Garrett]], and once with [[Tammy Scalfani|Tammy]] to create [[Jack Scalfani II|Junior]].

Jack also gets weirdly giddy while on the subject of Junior and [[Brianna Scalfani|Brianna]] having sex (A weird thing to discuss in itself), with him happily declaring that they had "pulled the goalies like a year ago".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-Odh8YZYeU</ref>

==Homosexuality==
There is an unmistakably homo-erotic overtone that pervades much of Jack's content. From the obsession with meat and shoving it into his mouth, to his mystifying ability to circularize his lips, to the frigid relationship he has with his wife: Jack frequently appears to display repressed homosexual desires. Now, that itself is not interesting, what is interesting is that Jack will insist he is far too Christian to be tainted by such ill-borne desires, as he would put it. In various ''Jack on the Go'' videos, he appears to get ''real'' close to [[Paul Dillon|Paul]] and other male guests, showing much more emotion and happiness that he ever does while hanging out with his own wife.

==Gastrosexuality==
[[File:Grill smooch.jpg|thumb|A prime example of Jack's gastrosexuality on display: this picture of him smooching a grill while giving the camera fuck-me eyes. This is proudly displayed on the Z-Grills website, by the way.<ref>https://www.zgrills.com/pages/ambassador-jack-scalfani</ref>]]
Gastrosexuality is a term used by detractors to describe Jack's tendency to exhibit near-sexual pleasure from eating. He rolls back his eyes on a few occasions, moans several times after taking a bite, and generally displays an overtly “horny” attitude towards food.

'''Myrna Adkins Smith''' (born June 1939-),<ref>https://radaris.com/~Myrna-Smith/1068930080</ref> commonly known as "'''Aunt Myrna'''," is a character reportedly related to [[Jack Scalfani]]. According to Jack, she is the creator of the infamous "Party Cheese Salad", which has gained a reputation for its questionable ingredients and unusual preparation techniques, with many people claiming to have tasted it at various parties, events, and as part of "dares."

Aunt Myrna is mentioned many times throughout 2010-2012, however has only made one physical appearance on the show, when Jack flew down to Alabama to make banana pudding with her.

==Aunt Myrna's Recipes==
[[File:Myrna-jack.png|thumb|Aunt Myrna and Jack making banana pudding. This is Myrna's only appearance on camera besides her intro.]]
From October 2010 to January 2012, Jack posted a series showcasing Myrna's recipes. Seven recipes were shared:

===Party Cheese Salad===
The Party Cheese Salad is one of Jack's most infamous recipes and videos. According to Jack, the recipe calls for lemon Jell-O, crushed pineapples, cream cheese, green bell pepper, pimento, celery, Cool Whip, nuts, and shredded American cheese, and it is typically served in a large communal bowl at gatherings. The recipe's origins are unknown, but it is said to be Aunt Myrna's mother's recipe. Another possibility is that Aunt Myrna got the recipe from an early twentieth-century cookbook of aspic recipes. Despite its disreputable reputation, the Party Cheese Salad has developed a cult following, with many people making it as a joke or dare for their friends and family.

==Personal life==
From available information, Myrna attended Ensley High School in Birmingham, Alabama from 1953-1957.<ref>https://www.idcrawl.com/myrna-adkins-smith/alabama</ref> She married Robert Louis Smith in 1959, who has since died on 5 November 2013.<ref name="RobertObituary"/> Myrna sold her house seen in the banana pudding video to a Greg Knight on 13 May 2015.<ref>https://www.realtyhop.com/building/5425-cruce-road-adamsville-al-35005#past-sales</ref> Myrna's next house was then sold on 20 May 2020, with her current residence being unknown.<ref>https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/12848-Edgewood-Dr-Mc-Calla-AL-35111/89735649_zpid</ref>

Aunt Myrna remains an enigmatic and mysterious figure in the Scalfaniverse, having not been mentioned since the end of the "Aunt Myrna's Recipes" series, with an exception in 2015 when Jack mentioned her tip for making venison during a video.<ref>https://youtu.be/MS7a58fN74c?t=83</ref> On a 6 January 2024 livestream, Jack stated he doesn't see Myrna anymore, and Tammy revealed that Myrna was "not doing well".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/live/a7FGNacLlLs?feature=share&t=938</ref>

'''Paul Aaron Dillon'''<ref>https://unmask.com/Paul-Dillon/TN-Chapel_Hill/6bafda13-a4b8-4f3a-e36b-6ee208d4c4da/</ref> is a friend of [[Jack Scalfani]], the co-creator of [[Überstink]], and owner of Tennessee private investigation company The Dillon Agency.

== Life ==
Paul was born on May 22, 1976. Not much is known about his life, but what is known is his longtime association with Jack. He created the website Überstink, a place where Jack and Paul would '''harass''' managers and CEOs on your behalf if you had a problem with them, and record it for your viewing pleasure. He said, after all, '''it is your video blog.''' For example, Paul had an issue with Ford Motors, so after failing to get in touch with customer support, he tracked down the CEO of Ford and harassed him, and said “come Monday morning, the problem was resolved”. It is unknown if any Überstink busts were actually recorded.

=== After Überstink ===
After Überstink, Paul moved onto with private investigation company, The Dillon Agency. It is unknown if any investigations have occurred with such agency, but it’s safe to assume there haven’t been any. Paul still appears on F as in Frank from time to time.

As of 2025 most of his channels all usually utilize AI in the profile pictures, scripts and descriptions.

'''The Cooking With Jack Show''' is Jack's main YouTube channel and his primary dumping ground for content. Jack presents this as his magnum opus; showing off horrifying creations that could kill any viewer dumb enough to try these recipes.

On the channel, Jack cooks such fantastic recipes like the ever-so-infamous [[Myrna#Party Cheese Salad|"Party Cheese Salad"]] and the horrifying [https://youtu.be/IchzyDuIa3M "Wet Brine Chicken"]. The channel started off with simple tutorials like [https://youtu.be/AJJ-iQkbRNE "How to Cut a Pineapple"] or [https://youtu.be/R1FfZiiK-I4 "Cut onion without crying"], which then devolved into heart stopping dishes like his [https://youtu.be/PsryXOZDY0s "Mushroom Cheeseburger Casserole"], which has more calories than what a normal human needs in a day or two, made about '''65''' days after he left the hospital for his [[fifth stroke]]. He also makes recipes that usually consist of raw chicken as “pink as a highlighter”, a massive about of cheese, and a disturbing amount of meat, melted all down into a dish that he calls “perfect”.

He also makes multiple series like the famous Lazy Man’s Recipes, where Jack either dumbs down simple recipes, makes a fancy dish less fancy, or makes a dish completely different from the original dish, as seen in his [https://youtu.be/ok4cM6WTA5E "Lazy Man’s Lasagna"] video (really just a baked ziti). Jack then has Playing With Your Food, where Jack analyzes the contents of chain fare food, surprisingly not devouring it through his maw.

Since the [[Notable critics#Dox hoax|AugustTheDuck doxxing incident]], his botched [[Sunday Evening Coffee|''Sunday Evening Coffee'' interview]], his approval for the genocide of Palestinians, and his 5th stroke, Jack’s reputation on YouTube has suffered greatly. While he never had a good rep to begin with for his hideous dishes, his terrible actions have made it suffer even more. After all of this occurred, the channel slowly devolved into AI generated slop; series like his Chili Month were entirely generated and scripted with the use of AI. His intro, once a proud preview of his completely botched career, now simply a slideshow of AI generated images and Bitmojis representing Jack’s fat self.

Jack also considers himself a “celebrity”, and he also tried to [https://youtu.be/5mffOKBpNKg get in contact with the Food Network] to pitch his show, which went about as well as you would expect.

===Format===
The format of a normal ''Cooking with Jack Show'' video has changed multiple times over the years, however retains the same basic qualities;

* Intro clip. For much of the channel's history, the channel intro was Jack goofing around in the kitchen in some way; as of 2025, the intro is simply a slideshow, complete with AI-generated pictures and voiceover.
* Jack then first appears in his kitchen, explaining what he is cooking today, then proceeding to ramble on about whatever the recipe is related to him.
* Jack then lists and lays out the ingredients, which are quite usually chicken, meat and an ungodly amount of cheese.
* Jack then will proceed to cook the ingredients together, without using any vegetables, seasonings, or even pepper, mainly using salt as his seasoning.
* Jack then finishes cooking and shows the final product, which is usually raw chicken, cheese soup or whatever else his ruined brain could think of.
* Jack then tries it, usually faking his reactions, infamously shown in the Party Cheese Salad video.

'''Jack on the Go''' is Jack's secondary restaurant review channel. Created three years after the main channel, while the ''Cooking with Jack Show'' is what Jack presents as his magnum opus, ''Jack on the Go'' is more what he ''wants'' to be doing; indulging in large amounts of already-prepared food while being able to write it off as a business expense. Jack has supplied the channel with steady content for several years, despite its videos never getting nearly the same amount of views as his main has.

Jack also boasts about his regular, "famous" Food Wars (or, as he sometimes likes to write it, Food '''WARS'''), in which he pits various restaurants of the same type against each other to find the best one. That was the idea, anyway; eventually Jack started blurting out the word "WAR" during just about any ''JoTG'' video. He has also attempted to get "FOOD WARS", "PIZZA WARS" and "TACO WARS" trademarked, however, this was rejected as "the applicant failed to respond or filed a late response to an Office action."<ref>https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4803:u1gwiw.4.2</ref><ref>https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4803:u1gwiw.5.2</ref><ref>https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4803:u1gwiw.2.2</ref>

The channel currently has a schedule of one video every Wednesday.

===Format===
The format of a typical ''Jack on the Go'' video has largely remained unchanged over the years.

* Jack first appears, either in his car or at the destination's parking lot, describing where he is headed to. While he originally brought a crew of people to eat with, this mostly stopped as he moved to Tennessee. In recent years, Tammy has usually been the only one to join Jack on his adventures, largely because he [[Jack and health#Strokes|cannot drive on his own anymore]].
* Jack enters the restaurant and starts commenting on various aspects within it. He usually films the cashiers and customers at this point, much to their dismay.
* Jack and/or Tammy read off the menu while pondering what they want to eat. This usually takes a few minutes as Jack tries to negotiate with Tammy to order as much food as possible.
* The camera cuts to Jack as he comments on the food's appearance or smell. He then enjoys his meal with exaggerated reactions and sounds.
* Jack, Tammy, and anyone else joining them give their first impressions of the food. Tammy mostly echoes Jack's opinion.
* The video cuts to Jack, either outside the restaurant or inside his house, giving his final thoughts on the experience. In most cases, he gives the place a rating, using an A-to-F "report card" format.

===Analysis===
In recent years, following the move to Tennessee, Jack has mostly focused on reviewing nationwide chains and insignificant strip mall Tex-Mex locations. Criticism towards the latter has clearly frustrated Jack, as he opens [https://youtu.be/us3D5XIu678 "El Ray Azteca, Gallatin, TN"] with a wall of text calling out his viewers' supposed hypocrisy, claiming that they previously complained that he wasn't reviewing enough Mexican restaurants before.

'''''EYE TO EYE''''' is Jack's secondary religion discussion channel. In this channel, Jack discussed various topics within Christianity, either with Launchpoint Church pastor Jim Kubic, or later with trucker Darrell. Since 2025, Jack has introduced a rotating cast of "men" onto the show, like guitar enthusiast Joe Butler, and whoever "Greg" is.

Somewhere around October 2023, Jack removed ''EYE TO EYE'' from his Linktree;<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957782549189496872/1166709554336235572</ref> however uploads resumed on August 2024.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iptDkDh1CAg</ref>

'''''F as in Frank''''' is Jack's secondary podcasting channel. In this channel, Jack discusses random topics with either his brother [[Charles Scalfani|Charles]] or other random guests.

Since late 2024, the channel has become the dumping ground for "WHAT'S TRENDING" streams, in which Jack talks insane [[Jack and politics|politics]] with his family friend [[Assorted guests#James Smith|Jimmy]], and "LET ME EXPLAIN" streams, which are more true to the channel's original premise with Charles yapping.

The channel previously saw its last upload on 12 February 2013. Jack teased a return to the channel in early 2024, but ultimately decided against it on 2 March, as he wanted his content to "stay positive".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/live/i2UK4SAtmg8?feature=share&t=1470</ref> On 23 September 2024, a significantly more bitter Jack officially revived the channel.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyVy5cZv3Qs</ref>

The channel saw its last upload on 6 March 2017, and has since been removed from the [[Cooking with Jack (Youtube series)|''Cooking with Jack Show'']]'s featured channels list. Despite Jack abandoning the channel, it has continued to receive strange activity, in the form of profile picture changes and odd scheduled livestreams, likely due to Jack not realizing he is not logged into the ''Cooking With Jack Show'' channel.

'''''Cooking With Jack, Too!''''' was one of Jack's secondary channels. It was a novel concept; send a video of yourself cooking to Jack, and he'll upload it on this channel and reap all the ad revenue for himself. At least you got paid in exposure!

Enough people fell for this scheme for the channel to receive 11 videos before it was discontinued. The last upload was made on 14 December 2014.<ref>https://youtu.be/GnUUfiuDQs4</ref>

'''Cooking With Jack Show''' is Jack's main YouTube channel and his primary dumping ground for content. Jack presents this as his magnum opus; showing off horrifying creations that could kill any viewer dumb enough to try these recipes. On the channel Jack cooks such fantastic recipes like the ever-so-infamous '''Party Cheese Salad''' and the horrifying '''Wet Brine Chicken'''. The channel started off with simple tutorials like '''How to Cut a Pineapple''' or '''How to Cut an Onion Without Crying''', which then devolved into heart stopping dishes like his '''Cheeseburger Casserole''', which has more calories than what a normal human needs in a day or two, made about '''65''' days after he left the hospital for his [[The strokes|5th stroke]]. He also makes recipes that usually consist of raw chicken as “pink as a highlighter”, a massive about of cheese, and a disturbing amount of meat, melted all down into a dish that he calls “perfect”.

He also makes multiple series like the famous '''Lazy Man’s Recipe''', where Jack either dumbs down simple recipes, makes a fancy dish less fancy or makes a dish completely different from the original dish, as seen in his '''Lazy Man’s Lasagna''' video. Jack then has '''Playing With Your Food''', where Jack analyzes the contents of chain fare food, surprisingly not devouring it through his maw.

Since the [[Notable critics|AugustTheDuck doxxing incident]], his botched [[Sunday Evening Coffee|Sunday Evening Coffee interview]], his approval for the genocide of Palestinians, and his 5th stroke, Jack’s reputation on YouTube has suffered greatly. While he didn’t have a good rep to begin with for his hideous dishes, his terrible actions have made it suffer even more. After all of this occurred, the channel slowly devolved into AI generated slop; series like his '''Chili Month''' were entirely generated and scripted with the use of AI, his intro, once a proud preview of his completely botched career, now simply a slideshow of AI generated images and bitmojis representing Jack’s fat self.

Jack also considers himself a “celebrity”, and he also tried to get in contact with the Food Network to pitch his show, which went about as well as you’d expect.

=== Format ===
The format of a normal ''Cooking with Jack Show'' video has changed multiple times over the years, however retains the same basic qualities;

* AI generated intro.
* Jack then first appears in his kitchen, explaining what he is cooking today, then proceeding to ramble on about whatever the recipe is related to him.
* Jack then lists and lays out the ingredients, which are quite usually chicken, meat and an ungodly amount of cheese. In recent months Jack has heavily utilized AI for his recipes, showing he puts no care into his videos, and has even used AI in descriptions!
* Jack then will proceed to cook the ingredients together, without using any vegetables, seasonings, or even pepper, mainly using salt as his seasoning.
* Jack then finishes cooking and shows the final product, which is usually raw chicken, cheese soup or whatever else his ruined brain could think of.
* Jack then tries it, usually faking his reactions, infamously shown in the Party Cheese Salad video.

'''Jack on the Go''' is Jack's secondary restaurant review channel. Created three years after the main channel, while the ''Cooking with Jack Show'' is what Jack presents as his magnum opus, ''Jack on the Go'' is more what he ''wants'' to be doing; indulging in large amounts of already-prepared food while being able to write it off as a business expense. Jack has supplied the channel with steady content for several years, despite its videos never getting nearly the same amount of views as his main has.

Jack also boasts about his regular, "famous" Food Wars (or, as he sometimes likes to write it, Food '''WARS'''), in which he pits various restaurants of the same type against each other to find the best one. That was the idea, anyway; eventually Jack started blurting out the word "WAR" during just about any ''JoTG'' video. He has also attempted to get "FOOD WARS", "PIZZA WARS" and "TACO WARS" trademarked, however, this was rejected as "the applicant failed to respond or filed a late response to an Office action."<ref>https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4803:u1gwiw.4.2</ref><ref>https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4803:u1gwiw.5.2</ref><ref>https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4803:u1gwiw.2.2</ref>

The channel currently has a schedule of one video every Wednesday.

===Format===
The format of a typical ''Jack on the Go'' video has largely remained unchanged over the years.

* Jack first appears, either in his car or at the destination's parking lot, describing where he is headed to. While he originally brought a crew of people to eat with, this mostly stopped as he moved to Tennessee. In recent years, Tammy has usually been the only one to join Jack on his adventures, largely because he [[Jack and health#Strokes|cannot drive on his own anymore]].
* Jack enters the restaurant and starts commenting on various aspects within it. He usually films the cashiers and customers at this point, much to their dismay.
* Jack and/or Tammy read off the menu while pondering what they want to eat. This usually takes a few minutes as Jack tries to negotiate with Tammy to order as much food as possible.
* The camera cuts to Jack as he comments on the food's appearance or smell. He then enjoys his meal with exaggerated reactions and sounds.
* Jack, Tammy, and anyone else joining them give their first impressions of the food. Tammy mostly echoes Jack's opinion.
* The video cuts to Jack, either outside the restaurant or inside his house, giving his final thoughts on the experience. In most cases, he gives the place a rating, using an A+-to-F "report card" format.

===Analysis===
In recent years, following the move to Tennessee, Jack has mostly focused on reviewing nationwide chains and insignificant strip mall Tex-Mex locations. Criticism towards the latter has clearly frustrated Jack, as he opens [https://youtu.be/us3D5XIu678 "El Ray Azteca, Gallatin, TN"] with a wall of text calling out his viewers' supposed hypocrisy, claiming that they previously complained that he wasn't reviewing enough Mexican restaurants before.

The channel previously saw its last upload on 12 February 2013. Jack teased a return to the channel in early 2024, but ultimately decided against it on 2 March, as he wanted his content to "stay positive".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/live/i2UK4SAtmg8?feature=share&t=1470</ref> On 23 September 2024, a significantly more bitter Jack officially revived the channel.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyVy5cZv3Qs</ref>
