August the Duck
August the Duck, real name August Bruce, is a YouTuber known for his reaction videos, gained prominence by reacting to Jack's controversial cooking content, starting with Jack’s "Wet Brine vs Dry Brine Chicken" videos.
On 12 April 2022, August announced that he would no longer react to Jack’s videos, citing ethical concerns and discomfort with mocking someone who had experienced significant health issues, including multiple strokes.[1] However, August later returned to reacting to Jack’s content.[2] August later announced he would be ending the Jack reactions once again due to not feeling comfortable making fun of Jack after Jack's most recent stroke. After Jack’s most recent stroke, August once again decided to end his reactions, expressing unease about making fun of someone in declining health. Despite this, August later created a video discussing Jack’s appearance on the Sunday Evening Coffee podcast, where Jack made alarming statements, including admitting to choking his son and advocating for genocide. This video sparked widespread backlash and led to August being doxxed by someone allegedly affiliated with Jack’s fanbase. August addressed the incident in a community post, clarifying that while Jack denied involvement, the doxxing threat appeared to come from a supporter of Jack.

DomReacts
DomReacts is a lesser known reaction YouTuber who would occasionally react to Jack's gross cooking videos. While he initially just seemed to be grossed out by Jack's cooking, like everyone else, he later developed a genuine dislike for Jack after Jack tried to copyright strike Dom's videos, despite the videos being protected by fair use. Dom and his friend, Hayden, once tried Jack's BBQ sauce, admitting that, while they don't like Jack, they do like the sauce.
TheArcWielder

Pink Chicken & The Lazy Man
Pink Chicken & The Lazy Man is a podcast and YouTube channel consisting of couple Michelle (nicknamed Pink Chicken) and Tom (nicknamed Lazy Man) discussing Jack's videos, talking about what's wrong with Jack's cooking and sometimes just making jokes at his expense. Jack has tried to copyright strike the channel multiple times, but his attempts have all failed due to the series falling under fair use. When asked about his opinion of PCTLM, Jack would claim that he's never heard of them, but his multiple copyright strike attempts prove that he is lying.
