This was not a good episode. It got better when Jake actually tried to be interested in wine, which is the point of the show, to open peoples minds to what wine is all about, but then Amir would just crush that with a “joke.” News to Amir, you dont’ have to try to be funning with everything you say. Not to mention he’s not funny. Hope this isnt’ a trend. I love guest, but this was too far.

I don’t understand why most of the people are so uncomfortable with this episode. Jake and Amir have their quote of the audience in their kind of humor and I think this was an interesting show, from the point of view of 2 people who don’t know much about anything about wine but were a little educated as far as they can be trying 3 different wines at once and being who they normally are. Remembering Gary’s slogan about changing the wine world, I think this is pretty much about that. And besides I think its very healthy to diversified the audience in a show like this, which doesn’t have to present only wine experts, but target an audience from A to Z.
I really had a good time watching this one.

Gary – This is probably one of the worst episodes I have tried to watch. I actually couldn’t get through it all. It’s cool you are bringing other individuals on your program, but they have to either like wine, or want to like wine. My only suggestion, is get back to basics. Do what you do best, and what got you to your “star” status that you have today.

Just a heads up, your iTunes feed seems to be off, I downloaded the bacon episode instead of this one.

Gary, I?m all for having comedians on the show…when they?re funny. I?m all for having wine beginners on the show…when they?re willing to learn. I?m all for parodying the wine judging system…when it?s justified. WLTV, after 600+ episodes, is worthy of more.

Funniest friggin’show I’ve seen yet. These guys are hilarious and I don’t know how you made it through the show without spitting wine out of your nose. I’m thinking these guys will be the last two people to jump on the wine bandwagon.Funny,funny stuff. You rock!

Gary, I just don’t understand why you have these guys on the show ? Do you think they’re funny ? I looked at the basketball prank and that was ok, but the sketches I saw on their website are not funny, just juvenile and self-indulgent. If you have any of these guys on again, you’ll get a better response if you have the alcohol extracted from the wine and let them taste that instead. They will appreciate that.

Annoying.

I’m sorry but what a wasted opportunity. I was ambivalent about the last College Humor show, but at least they took it somewhat seriously. These two are far to convinced that they are funny and could not be more wrong.

QOTD: I forget the exact brand but it was only something around $25.

8 minutes in and I want to slam Amir’s face off that table. Hoping you guys are going to sub him out for someone else in the CH office. Got my fingers crossed!
How stoned is he?? He’s making me more angrier by the minute.
Just answer a question you smart ass! Wise ass punk! If you were here, I would split your flucking head open!!
Why are you even there!? What was the purpose of you doing this??
I have never seen someone try so hard to be funny and fail. Amir, you are dead to me!
Jake, big fan. Nice work on the show.
Huge CH fan by the way. Have had it bookmarked for years.
QOTD1: Not answering that. Hate Amir. Stupid question.
QOTD2: I agree with Jake.
Strange, I really want to pound Amir’s face off that table over and over and over again.

Hey GV…
i’m sorry to say, but these guys are really childish and annoying. Somehow it just spoils wine enjoyment and the mood for great wines. It’ll be more like a ‘pop n pour’ thing with these people. However, i do understand that you’re also expanding your ‘contacts’ through them. So, good on ya dude but unfortunately, they’re just not my kind of click.

QOTD: cant remember now which wine was the most expensive…Palmer? Lynch Bages? prob one of those from a good vintage but what’s more important (after paying hefty prices) would be the company we’re with to fully enjoy and appreciate the wine! And these are one of those that I have truly enjoyed.
Oh, prob a 2001 Tignanello!
Lastly, sorry Amir…wouldnt buy my favourite wine from you for twice the price or half the price, as I’m afraid that the wine may not be properly handled/ stored under your care.

I really hope all favors are now paid in full to College Humor.

Gary
Marketing 101.
The college demographic is untapped for wine drinkers.
Potential is there for another $50 million in sales.
I would do the show too.
But not on WLTV…
Stick to the program.

Craig

They are just in character to all those who are knocking jake and amir

This episode is basically unwatchable, thanks to the horrible guests (Amir). I don’t necessarily want pretentiousness in wine, but leave the stupid humor for college humor. At least make an attempt at tasting wine.

I admire your patience Gary and your ability to stay on track. I was cracking up. Good stuff. Remember people, wine is FUN

I thought this was great!

I think people lack an understanding of Amir. For starters he is putting on an act. Secondly, he has developed over time through the skits. Even to watch a few of the recent skits and judge from there is a little premature. It’s humor that grows on you the more you open up to it.

As far as wine goes. I am an entry level wine fan with quiet a few bottles tasted(or drunk). I thought this video was a perfect lead in for people of similar experience. Which tends to be a good chunk of the college university crowd. (collegehumor’s crowd)

This episode helps to add balance to the guest list. I didn’t find them that funny, but it didn’t bother me either. It’s fun to watch non-wine people on the show too.

thanks GV as always!

QOTD: No.

“I?m afraid that the wine may not be properly handled/ stored under your care.”

In the wine world this is probably like the most epic insult ever. lol..

Hello, wine enjoyers. I’d just like to say that Jake and Amir are actually in character right now and ACTING. Thats not actually how Amir is. He’s playing the character he plays in the “Jake and Amir” sketch comedy skits he does with Jake on http://www.jakeandamir.com so chill out. It’s a joke. Supposed to be funny. Good work, to Jake and Amir!! 🙂 and this Gary guy handled them well.

does anyone else taste cocoa puffs on the back end?

OK.. i see not many vayniac’s in college.. come on people lighten up..

QOTD: Yes Amir. I would buy wine from you at any price..

For your information everybody. The Jake and Amir you just saw were both characters, not the people they really are, so calm down.

Thoise 2 smoke way to much weed its obvious…I think they try to hard to be funny and do a poor job of it…Hopefully thats the last we see of them on your show…No thunder was brought in that episode….Gary your still the man though…

I think that your next guests should be from the local kindergarten.
They wouldn’t be any less informed… or childish.
Really, who cares what a couple of non-wine drinkers who are still
trying to figure out what they want to do when they grow up think?

Collegehumor.com, Jake and Amir are the only reasons I followed the link here. Actually, found the website really interesting and was looking for a website just like this one. Nice.
