Reacting to my Best Videos of the Year

- From German tongue-twisters to Lord of the Rings, my most popular videos of 2024 were all over the place (except for the Germans. Apparently the Germans love Jacques ze Whipper).
See you all in 2025!

Commendation on the Barabaras Rabarbar! I do understand german (non-native proficiency) and you did better than ANY OTHER not-german-speaker at pronouncing I've ever heard! It was 87% correct, and 97% understadable. I've heard trained actors with language coaches standing by, not do as well as Jacques did here! Dude, have a rubarb pie to celebrate, you deserve it! 🥧
Edit: note: if Germans say you did well in something, believe them, they are not interested in lying about it.
I am still acuelly shooked that he can pronounce it THAT well! You can tell he really trained long for that^^ Even fellow germans fall over those words.
(I confirm that statement as a born german XD)
Native-speaking, linguistic-studying German here: I completely agree. You obviously struggled with phonemes not-native to Englisch (e.g. ä in "Städchen"), but overall it was understandable - and all that while dancing and whipping!
And, yes: if a German pays you a compliment, take it. We might be more polite on the Internet, but we are still realists 😅
I'm Dutch. Not that that has much to do with German but we do honest critiques to a fault, even more so than the Germans. I 100% concur with arwengrune. Top marks. Really good if you did speak a little German or had help. So hence downright impressive
After watching Jacques for a considerable amount of time, I just questioned how much of a genius this guy is to not only make custom lyrics for many songs but remember them or be able to make lyrics on the spot.
I was so pumped (and low key honored) that I was the first to request Barbara's Rhabarberbar after all your practice! It was the highlight of my faire season! I also remember how crummy the weather was that weekend; you were a freaking trooper at the NJRF this past year.
"It's amazing what hair dye does!" While I enjoyed that joke, I'm glad you've decided to embrace your natural hair color. Salt and pepper is a good look for you.
"Yeet, Yeet, Mother Whipper!" needs to go on a tee shirt.
100 percent would buy!
"Apparently the Germans love Jacques Ze Whipper ..."
Yes. Yes we do.
Wir lieben Jacques Ze Whipper. 😊❤
""We have gone through all the data"
Sure. We did. We meaning your wife went through all the data 😂
Hey now, I'm sure Scipio helped!
"I look so much younger here, look at the hope in my eyes" 🤣Congrats for 2024 and all the luck for 2025 !
As a German: I feel angesprochen
As an American and a German: Amazing Grace but it’s techno
Apparently, we need to get more likes on the Slayerman videos!!! He deserves top 10 😂😂😂. Love your videos: shows, backyard, shenanigans with Ses, wherever, and whatever. This was definitely fun to watch!!!!! Thanks for putting your all into entertaining us. You're killing it😁😁
Geman here! Your rendition of Barbaras Rhabarberbar was very good. Especially since it is a tongue twister that trips up many native speakers. If you had told me that you actually speak German I would have believed you.
Wait, is your cat named Scipio Africattus? Dude, you're such a nerd for naming them after Hannibal's nemesis in the punic wars. I love it!
Beat me to it!!
He has a few times overlapped epically with Red and Blue of OSP... Yes he is our kind of nerd.
@@saber1epee0 Soooooo...yeah!
One of the highest rated comments is about cats, as it should be. It's the internet. The name is wonderful.
I'm not exactly sure which of your videos put you on my radar but I have not regretted it for a second. The kind of creativity and wit that it takes to do something like you do is mind-blowing. (Also, 20+ runs of BG3? Damn, dude! That's crazy in a good nerdy way!)
The first video I found of Jacques was the stage Barbara’s rhabarberbar song, I’m not surprised it’s in the top 10!
I mean, he did a german tongue twister. Doing so, he summoned the german internet hivemind ;)
Jacques, we arent nice to you. We are germans on the Internet. When someone does pronounce german that well, we usually respect that. And lets be real, do did that tongue twister better than i could as a native speaker
I love this reaction video!
I'm german and I really think, you did a great job with Barbaras Rhabarberbar. It's not easy and I heard a lot of german speaking people fail with trying to sing it.
The Wood Clapper Challenge video is my fav video of yours of ALL TIME. The sound louder than your mic pick up, the silent confidence, the eyebrow lift, the unbroken camera eye contact, the chain whip... my god 🥵
I love your backyard videos. Speaking of backyard videos, I need to rewatch your sleigh ride video..... And thanks to getting back into whipping, i'm picking up my second paracord bullwhip to work on some more tricks. Whipping is addictive!
As a German-French I applaud both Barbaras Rhabarberbar and your French. Your pronunciation is good enough in both languages to easily understand as a native speaker.
Everytime I feel bad that I am the neighbor with the loud dog, I remember I am not the neighbor with the Indonesian whip. So it could be worse
As a true french I kinda want to go see one of the show now 😂
Thinking of the German's reactions to that video makes me think of Fluffy(Gabriel Iglesias), and his retelling of one of his shows where there were some German tourists in the front row and they were loudly asking for him to make jokes about them. And then once he did make a very insensitive joke, they were all for it and not offended at all.
If you're thinking of the same very insensitive joke there are just two non violent reactions if you're german.
Laughing or telling him in a very dry matter of fact voice: No, we don't do that. That's why we've invented Fanta back then.
Sorry you had a bad experience in Florida. I live in Florida and my family is in broadcasting. People get weird around famous people. My uncles have been stalked. It’s weird. But at least it means you’re famous 🤷🏼♀️😅
Love your shows, I’ll see you in Florida (as in I’ll see your show, not stalk you or be weird), keep being awesome!
Winrich with the casual burn of "that was the ONE I liked"
Historically, us Germans love everything that lets us make fun of the French. 😎🔥If you add jokes, a great personality and whips, count us in! 😉
I loved the data at the beginning of the video. Do you notice trends on the performance of video per platform?
Has anyone of your neighbors called the cops because they mistook the sound of your whips for a gunshot?
He's in the Boston area. Guessing southie or Dorchester and between ...well..southie or Dorchester...and the New England allergy to being involved in anyone else's business, I would guess no.
@katefromantikanueva4629 I'm from a small town in Texas with the typical "everybody knows everybody and so everybody knows your business."
I grew up going to Scarborough Fair back in the '90s. That is a great venue, I'm glad that you have fond memories on it
Facebook Dinosaur… dude, I still have MySpace! 🤣
Quick question why? Lol
I think I still have mine too. Lmao! I haven’t touched it in decades though. 😂😂
@@stevengallowayii7953 Because when I signed up 20 years ago, it was actually popular. LOL
Your german is good enough, greetings from munich :D
Auf jeden fall besser als 50% der Berliner die Deutsch sprechen
Besser als unser Jugenddeutsch auf jeden Fall (sagte sie mit 22 Jahren)
Clearly I am a true fan as I have watched all of these videos and many of them within the last 24 hours.
I've been sick, I've been stuck to the TH-cams.
I dont even know most of the songs you perform, so I am really impressed by the knowledge by itself. Me as German had an simular expirience with US...one told me he 100% german and I was great so we can speak German...but than he admidded that his grandparents were from Germany...if he is 100% already, what am I? Lol...
Your Rhabarberbar pronounciation is very decent! Especially impressed with the Rs, those are not easy for english speakers.
The first video I saw of you was a short of Barbara's rhabarberbar, so not surprised that it factors in to your most viewed videos this year.
Fun fact: I watch most YT videos at 1.5 speed because vloggers talk slow, so when the first video shows up with Barbara's rhababerbar at 1.5 speed, it's kind of mind blowing...
Love these behind the scenes. Hope your year was as much fun for you as it was for us watching you!
Jacques, longtime fan here! I admire your kickass work ethic sir! Never ever change!!!
I was at the NJ Ren Faire and the afterhours show. Had no idea your voice was struggling. You were amazing!
i can confirm that his german was very good!! he did it better than i could!! and speaking of "phase 2: the german reboot" i have some ideas hehe. totally think you'd slay the Superperforator song (from a popular old german comedy movie). Coming soon to a Biergarten near you: Jakob der Peitscher.
OMG in the German video you looked like you channeled two characters from 'Allo 'Allo, "Herr Flick of the Gestapo" and Lieutenant Gruber who's always hitting on the French barman. If you don't know that show, you need to watch it in a marathon over Christmas.
Happy to see this list... was hoping BlondBOYZ would be on it... would have loved to hear if there were any other mishaps when people come up.
That was one of my top videos last year, yes!
That was great fun to watch and I loved hearing the behind the scenes info
Idk why I got so hype over the American Duchess shoes, but here we are.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience. It's always a bummer when people trample your good intentions. When you feel the need for security it must have been pretty scary. I hope it will be a rare occurrence like seeing Big Foot.... although... That seems to happen on renaissance fairs quite often.
I‘m really impressed that you know so much from Barbara‘s Rhubarbbar. Honestly I thought you have German family members because it was so good
My fav from the year was the sound check video.
That was a great video 😁
3 HONOR MODE RUNS?! Dude is a beast...
well... hello from Germany 😄 - and enjoying all of this, especially Bodo's "Barbara" of course.
*getting distracted by stuff in the background* Is that an Indiana Jones hat on top of that globe?
I have to say, probs to your rendition of "Barbaras Rhababerbar". I'm a native German speaker and can only say that both times you did this in this video were very good. Some words may not have been perfect, but considering you don't even SPEAK the language, it was fantastic!
Dawwww Clearly I am not yelling Slayer loud enough. Whelp gotta fix that!
Vance was the absolute best! But you know now that you mentioned rain, you've just doomed us to a torrential downpour again.
For the record, the Australians love watching an American pretending to be French too
It's interesting that each platform has a different favorite.
Soz, Jack. Jacques. French whip-man. Tormentor of Ses Carny. (Ah, we all know he likes it...) I know I could never equal the Slayer guy or his dedication to driving hundreds of miles before dawn on a motorcycle, but I still want to show up at a show and shout out "GLORYHAMMERRRR!" only for you to go, "Wat." That said, your improv skills are good enough that you could probably fake it.
Or I could be a dick and insist on Neunundneunzig Luftballons auf Deutsch.
But I wouldn't do that. :)
Joking aside, mate, I'm really enjoying your channel. I don't comment much and I don't get out as often as I should, but I genuinely kind of want to go check out Ren fairs now. Problem being, I'm not rich so all the tents I like checking out (the metalworkers in particular) are a bit beyond my budget. But I still admiring craftsmanship throughout, so I'd probably still enjoy m'self!
Anyway, cheers, man; hope you're having a lovely break and hope you're protecting your voice--you do not want to blow it out the way I did when I was younger, let me tell you. (No, it wasn't because of opera training, it was a severe stomach virus that uh... did not allow the contents of my stomach to remain in my stomach. Oh yes, rather unpleasant! Burnt the tiniest of pinpricks into my vocal chords, and now I've lost my entire upper range. Not fun. I can do faux-basso now, though, so that's cool.)
Alright, wish ya well, man; enjoy whatever time ya have off, whipperman. Cheers, again!
You should set up a microphone about the length that the whip will go so that you can catch how loud the whip really is instead of trying to catch it on your microphone
Oh, this is going to be FUN - great idea!😊
You should totally do "If You've Only Got a Moustache" from "A Million Ways to Die in the West"
Definitely for the whip loudness in a recording it’s all about the location of the microphone. So one can easily sound louder or similar to another based on where the microphone is located. Probably the loudest would be close to where the end of the whip would be or slightly further than it. (I am not an expert in whips or sound recording).
I still need to beat Baldur’s Gate 3….
Started one run probably around full release (I think I bought it near the end of early access on Steam).
Deleted my first character on Act 3 after not playing for months.
Got to Act 3 again recently but got a new mod that corrupted the save files (don’t spawn in items in the game files but not officially in the game). (This run ended at nearly 75 hours)
Made a Dark Urge character near the same time as my previous Act 3 character and got a little into Act 1 then same as the Act 3 character decided to end the run due to the corrupted save files. (Run was under 2 hours).
So now I have made my “perfected” Dark Urge character a female, Lolth-sworn Drow, cleric/barbarian (mostly barbarian. Cleric for worshipping Lolth). Plan is to be as evil as possible but keeping most companions alive at this point (could have killed one but then I would have lost their body/loot…. I like collecting everything…. I am a loot goblin in basically any game that has loot drops).
I got my brother into the game and hopefully we’ll play it next year together when crossplay releases (I am on PC he is on PS5).
I currently have 131.7 hours in-game.
Your Reels are so endearingly funny. #TheDinosaurThatIsFacebook
PrePare Yourself for the Year of Barry Manilow Request...lol
Yeah I witnessed the Indonesian whip breaking at the NJ PAC show. The new one is very nice. Looking forward to seeing it live
I like that each time both Barbaras Rhabarberbar videos came up you were dancing along in your chair
Is there a video of you from the 90s performing with your dad?
I wonder if it was a techno version of a"A Grazing Mace"...
Hi Jacques the zipper
I'm french, i live in Argentina, but if I ever go to the US I WILL GO TO YOUR SHOW.
It was a pretty epic year, indeed! Here's to 2025! 🎉🎉
Just to be clear I really want to ask for "cabaret" because THAT is your se#ual sassy German voice... It's "Emcee"
"Vilkommen, bienvenue, welcome!"
as a french canadian, I'm sure I speak for a lot of us, getting called french is basically an insult
True fact: I found out about Barbara's Rabarbar because of your dance video.
Not that I've ever mentioned this on any video of yours.. but I will say again that you should try linen shirts. Will go with your garb AND be cooler and will be stronger when it's washed as linen is stronger when wet.
I'm going to be sure to watch the live stream! 😁
i am a resident of Baldur's Gate and i'm offended.
I still wait for someone to call "Popcorn:
the first video i ever saw of you was the i will not see your show lol
I want to hear “fly me to the moon” with Jacques lyrics 😂
You are AWESOME Jacques!
Thumbs Up Always Your All Videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I would love to hear you try The Wellerman
Oh my cat did NOT like the chain whip lol!
As a native german speaker, the Barbaras Rhabarberbar was not too bad.
Germans are pretty blunt to the point of making Massachusetts residents look super nice. When they say something positive, believe them 🤣
I was waiting for him to break into "Wilkommen" from" Cabaret" t the end there....
So I kinda feel like doing Bohemian Rhapsody would be great as a show-ender if you change “will you see the show” to “will you leave the show” 😂
High probability that techno “Amazing Grace” was Tartanic.
Mannnnn we need to get you out to Southern California Pleasure Faire!
I'm looking at a west coast theatre tour at some point, since my faire schedule usually conflicts with the faires in CA
For 2025: Can you pretty pleez do some audio books? Maybe the sexy kind? But everything else will do, too. ;-)
What many viewers are thinking right now: "Where's his moustache?"
I hope someone requests APT. in an upcoming show. My pupils sing it non-stop and it's a real ear worm.
Dinosaur? Facebook is how I found you lol 😅
Please come to Nashville Tennessee I so want to see your show. Never mind I seen the date for Nashville how do I get tickets for it. I found the tickets I will purchase them the next time I get paid.
My favorite song you did was "one winged angel"
Oh florida. Just seems like what every performer who comes here ends up saying 😂
Need to come to Michigan
Gonna go ahead & like… will return.
I did like the rap battle videos
You should come to Silvertons renaissance fair
i commented this on another video: what about Barbara's Rhubarbarbarb in the style of Slayer?!
Also great collection of board/video games under the TV. Love Wingspan and Fluxx, though we play the Firefly version. Tsuro is a fun one to add to your collection.
Americans be like: I'm totally french! My great grandfather fought in Normandy!
this is totally odd but did you get your name from jack the ripper ????
