Okay, Here’s two interpretations of some underrated ydkj hosts

Jack Cake and Quizmaster Jack!

(The Jack Cake ref sheet is pretty old, but i like the design!)

[hellyeahydkj]

Mavis: Hun, people only listen to the very first part anyway. Cookie: Wh- What do you- What is that- What are you talking about? They're playing the game, how can they not be listening to the... Mavis: I don't know. I mean it would be like listening to us now. They just don't pay attention during that part. Cookie: They're not paying attention to what we're saying right now? Mavis: No they're not. Cookie: Wh... Mavis: They probably already hit the spacebar. Cookie: Really? Mavis: Yeah. Cookie: Well. Are you saying that like right now what we're actually doing is betraying the whole interactivity of the game by making it seem like this is all pre-recorded? Mavis: Doh. Cookie: (Laughter)

[unrealtournamentkid]

Context: an Angry German Kid was mad over You Don't Know Jack 2015 by typing "f**k you" as the player name. (poor Cookie :,( /li)

(Ignore the KineMaster watermark, I freaking tried my best to make my vid 2010s and in a low quality, but ended up worse bcz of the KineMaster watermark. So Ignore it.)

(hey jackbox/ydkj fans, this is my first video and first ydkj-related video, so pls don't send hate on me, i tried my best 🙏🙏🙏)

UPDATE: FOUND THEIR NAMES: Rosalie and Kuki are their names

Hey, I need some help here, nothing super dire but

Does anyone know the name of the sign-in hosts for YDKJ French and YDKJ German versions?

I’m planning on making interprets of them (and I already know who Murray is soooooo :D)

[pigspeetsandhooflikefeets]

Of the main 5 YDKJ hosts, which are the ones that know languages other than english? I'm sure there's some kinda lore for all of them but I regrettably don't have the time to go through all thr voice lines (plus i wanna hear ur HCs on the matter too)

Schmitty speaks and understands Klingon according to the Guilty Pleasures ep of L!F!F! which has to be the most insane Schmitty fact that isn't offensive to the brain.

Both Guy and Buzz confuse Spanish for German. I have zero idea why this is a shared fact. I asked my friend who is a German teacher to help me with an intro line Guy says that's supposedly in German, and they informed me he's speaking German but with terrible syntax.

Cookie uses French phrases with fairly accurate pronunciation, but he does not pronounce Spanish properly (if you play Vol. 3 and Sports, both hosts pronounce "Boca Raton" differently. Guy's pronunciation is correct)

Nate, Guy, Cookie, and Schmitty all properly and accurately use Yiddish, but I think Nate does it the most accurately and often. The only time Guy says it is in the previously mentioned Boca Raton question, which you need to get incorrect to trigger.

Not a main 5 host, but Bob says something in what I ASSUME is Italian during an exit phrase for Headrush, but I genuinely cannot understand him. I think he thinks he knows Italian. He does not.

As for headcanons

-I figure Cookie knows enough Italian to curse you out in it, but nothing conversational.

-Guy canonically HATES Latin (Laywers floor), but pronounces it all effortlessly, which makes me think he actually knows Latin, he just hates hearing other people use it

-Due to relationship to Nate, Buzz also knows some Yiddish, but refuses to use it due to his nasal voice

-Still not a main 5 host, but I like to believe Milan taught Bob some basic/random Polish. Like Bob will ask a random word and how to say it in Polish and Milan begrudgingly tells him. Love wins.

-Every host knows at least one swear word and "penis" in a different language.

[retropolitan]

Erst ist man krank und dann kommen einen die Eltern spontan über's Wochenende besuchen... Wenn's läuft, dann läuft's halt.^^

Wenn ich wenigstens You don't know Jack hätte, dann könnte ich dieses Wochenende das zusammen mit den Eltern spielen. Aber so sieht es nach einem Wochenende ohne Videospiele aus... Und was steht bei euch am Wochenende an?

regional differences have always been my jam but TIL that YDKJ german volume 4 (which was used as the base for volume 6 - the lost gold here in the states) apparently had the whenditha’pn???? and used 5th dementia’s jack attack music?????? this is so neat and now i’m sad that the wenditha’pn didn’t make it into the USA cut

[hellyeahydkj]

good amount of ydkj stuff on internet archive y’know? here’s some magazines talking about the german volumes PC Joker March 1998 | PC Player German Magazine 1998-04 PCJoker May 2000 | PC Games Nov 2003

[pigspeetsandhooflikefeets]

in a two-player game, Guy introduces the game in German. in a three-player game, he introduces the game in Spanish

I have no goddamn clue what he’s saying in German, and in the Spanish line he calls you “answering machines” rather than “contestants”. I have no idea what’s happening

[hellyeahydkj]

i think more people should download a virtual machine so

https://archive.org/details/WinXPProSP3x86,   MRX3F-47B9T-2487J-KWKMF-RPWBY (THIS IS REQUIRED)

https://www.virtualbox.org/ , most of the games should work in a VM

srf extractor for ydkj http://srfextra.sourceforge.net/ , if the audio's too crunchy, open the aifc files

get ydkj:UK https://www.macintoshrepository.org/5247-you-don-t-know-jack-uk- (you need to make a account to download it, takes like 5 seconds. the website also has the french and german volumes)

[pigspeetsandhooflikefeets]

victorian child voice hi can you please give me Guy factoids (and headcanons if you want)

sure. I've kept tabs on this man plenty and a lot of the facts make me happy

Guy is tall, at least in one way or another, as he states people have called him "longfellow". that's another tern for a tall man

One of Guy's other nicknames is "Roberta". he asks you not to question it

He claims to have never read a book in its full, but is great at writing essays and busy work, as he got an A in high school English for a book he read cliff notes on. it is to be noted that Guy brings books to the beach. it's unknown what he does with the books. it's possible he gets bored and never stops halfway

He mentions only a single girl he's dated (Maria Bouncer). Every other woman he mentions bails on him before the date is over (usually due to random things; cringe)

He loves trees and frogs, and dares you to say something bad about either.

He never mentions currently having pets. He shares this fact with Buzz and Nate.

Guy's favourite foods include mint milkshakes, Pringles, and milk by itself. Whatever makes him happy I guess!

Guy LOVES kissing. He makes a LOT of jokes about kissing just about anyone, from hockey players to his opponent in squash. He also alludes to enjoying other people kissing.

He denies stalking his jogging neighbor

As a child, he played peewee baseball/t-ball. his coach had... unique opinions on him.

He knows a few Yiddish phrases, which isn't special since almost all the hosts do, but it's a very hard to trigger line. You need everyone to get the Fiber Optic Field Trip question from the puppeteer wrong. The hardest part for me was recognizing the phrase actually.

Guy cannot tell Spanish, French, and German apart. He shares this fact with Buzz. Guy also hates Latin.

His family is implied to be dysfunctional and quick to argue, but he very rarely talks about anyone in it at all. His entire family hates one of his grandfathers, saying he's his grandmother's shame.

Like Cookie and Schmitty, he wears glasses (as shown in his single on-screen performance). It's unknown why he needs glasses, but it's entirely possibly he needs reading glasses, as he struggles to read some cards.

As for headcanons

Guy is bisexual (heavily implied but never confirmed, ya know). He was attracted to men before he was attracted to women (when you're surrounded by guys your age in sports it just happens)

Guy can float, but he cannot swim well. Would he drown, no, but if you asked him to do laps it'd take forever.

Guy's worst performing sport of the four big sports (football/soccer, baseball, hockey, American football) is football/soccer. High power, low control.

Guy went to college for a sports broadcasting degree. He was scouted for YDKJ during a sports game he did commentary on near (but not in) Chicago, giving the game way more flavour than it deserved

He is the youngest child. Besides his obvious youngest-child-energy, I simply headcanon Bob as his oldest brother, and since Bob mentions a younger sister, Guy's sister is the middle child. I have designed all three of these characters and not one of the 3 most reoccurring hosts. Wowie Zow.

Guy is heavily implied to have both autism, dyslexia, and some form of depression. He vocally stims (random singing and making weird vocal inflections), not recognizing boundaries or sarcasm (such as his relationship with Cookie), and is overly empathetic. Guy additionally is horrible at spelling and remembering directions (mixing up North and South frequently) and cannot get into books/reading long passages. Additionally, Guy has frequent dramatic outbursts that don't feel faked like some other hosts. He'll cry on a dime and has multiple occurrences where he has suicidal thought. Therapy. Therapy for Guy.

My interp of Guy that is 25% horse and resembles a horse satyr is not a headcanon, but a warning.

[pigspeetsandhooflikefeets]

I find it funny that people have designs for Jack Cake, but then Jack and Quizmaster Jack get no love! Sure one's French and one's German, but they both have such fun voices! Jack sounds so kind and Quizmaster Jack just has so much energy! I wish people gave them more love...

Can definitely agree with that. I feel like it's even more than just the inability to understand them, but the inability to play them. Regional discs and all that. Then again idk fully how the ports work. It's really too bad they get snubbed. Never heard their voices but I bet I like them better than Jack C. His voice frightens me.

Also we all agree the lack of a Jellyvision Spanish dubbed YDKJ is weird right? They literally have the joke within several games about the concept of a Spanish YDKJ.

[incorrectjackboxquotes]

There's also Jack Cake (Host of the UK edition of YDKJ), Quizmaster Jack (Host of the German edition of YDKJ), and Masatoshi Hamada (Host of the Japanese edition of YDKJ). (Also, fun fact- The Japanese edition is considered lost media)

^ So many hosts!
