We are comedians/YouTubers Jack & Dean. Ask us anything!

When are you going to start doing comedy?

Jack's Dad?

How does it feel knowing that your song "Consent" is more popular than Robin Thicke's latest album?

It makes me feel like we need to get the bigger fish ;)

Due to the nature of YouTube, there are many teenagers who have complex infatuations with their idols who obviously cannot reciprocate them, do you find there is an emotional burden with this for you?

No.

Do you feel as though you guys hit online content creation in a 'right place right time' situation?

The internet seems so saturated with content creators it seems near on impossible to stand out, would you do anything different if you were starting out online in 2015?

There's always going to be an element of luck when it comes to this stuff but I also think we offer something nobody else does on YouTube. We buy things from Primark all the time but we think it's much more interesting to pretend everything we bought was haunted.

Dean, I saw your picture of you cuddling on a sofa with Ed Sheeran, could you please tell us the back story?

Also...who's the funniest YouTuber?

Ed was visiting Google and I made a joke that I was gonna ask him what his favourite sofa was to sleep on. He actually saw the tweet so when I asked him to cuddle on the sofa he obliged. He's a lovely chap.

To what extent do you prioritize YouTube over Radio? Would you eventually drop YouTube for DJing?

I'll be doing both. Don't you worry.

What is one video on YouTube or movie idea that you wish you'd have thought of first?

I wish I had thought of Digimon. Recently re-watched a bunch of it on Netflix and it's such a fun idea that's executed SO BADLY.

How did you feel when you got your first hate comment?

I felt we had made it.

Who are your favorite comedians?

My Dad.

Do you know when the new video is coming out or what it is about yet? Can you give us any clues/hints on the new jack & dean project? Missed you guys loadss! :)

No release date yet. Here's a hint: it's good.

If you weren't making YouTube videos and doing content for Radio 1, what jobs do you think you'd be doing?

Probably working at a Tesco and breaking all the tills from my tears of self reflection and disappointment.

Do you guys know when your episode of Virtually Famous will air? Was there for the taping and it was great to meet you guys again afterwards :)

Nope! We'll let you know as soon as we do!

Who inspires you guys to make YouTube videos ?? X

$$$

What would you say are the best and worst things about being a YouTuber?

In no particular order: 1. Alfie Deyes 2. The Money

What actor or actress would you love to work with?

1. Daniel Radcliffe
2. Gary Oldman
3. Meryl Streep

what is the writing process for a jack and dean video? like do jokes and stuff come naturally or do you have to concentrate and dig deep for them?

The process is always different. Sometimes a joke can just come full circle and others are a little harder to realise. Always worth sticking with a good idea though!

I think you should definitely go to universities give talks about after uni employment, show what you did; how it's not always 9-5 or a postgrad.. It's so unique and accessible to all..! Would you guys be interested in stuff like that??

I'd like to give it another year before I even considered telling people only a few years younger than me how to run their life.

But yeah, totally :)

do you still shit yourself a bit the first time you try out a new joke on stage in case it bombs or are you over that? (is that something you get over idk i probably wouldnt)

Nothing will be as bad as Leeds.

What is something that you feel like you need to do in your life that you haven't done already?

Swim with Sharks.

what makes you comedians?

People's opinions.
