The YouTube channel made its debut Sunday with a big push at SXSW, where founding members Sarah Silverman, Michael Cera, Tim Heidecker, Eric Wareheim, and Reggie Watts hosted a SXSW Comedy opening party, held a BBQ brunch, and did a live Comedy Bang Bang broadcast prior to their panel later this afternoon. JASH is one of over 60 new YouTube online networks announced last fall. The venture gives comedians and artists financing, production resources, editing facilities, creative control, and revenue shares and is produced for HaChaCha by Daniel Kellison (The Man Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!) with Doug DeLuca, Mickey Meyer, and Fullscreen Inc. Here’s the first JASH video, entitled “Epic Intro Video”:


Not funny. No laughs.
Funny. Laughs.
The Deadline audience is probably going to “not get” this channel, since they’re not mainstream comedians. Alt is an acquired taste, but worth the time.
This is what they lead with for their launch? Oh my.
Seriously? So sad. Sarah had so much potential! Now she’s doing PA’s on the Fashion Police and this crap. Ugh.
I’m gonna guess they get less than 10 subscribers from that.
Wait. I forgot about their families…
Okay, less than 100 subscribers.
They have just under 7,000 subs at this point on YouTube… so unless they have really big families I think people enjoyed the intro.
painfully unfunny. Ouch. Worse than Funny or Die, and i didn’t think that was possible.
the only Youtube video that’s ever made me laugh is this thing called Puddin’.
This was not funny…at all. But if there is only one thing on youtube that has made you laugh, I suggest you stop watching YouTube altogether , I do t think its really working out for you.
That was terrible. Absolutely no smile, laugh or joy. I want my time back.
No matter how they spin this I can’t help but to think these are old dogs trying to learn new tricks. Also can’t see them actually dedicating significant time to making content for this venture…not sustainable.
That was really funny, why are people complaining about this video? It’s supposed to be ridiculous. Seems like they have great people involved, unlike the run-of-the-mill garbage normally on youtube. Be positive, trolls!
It doesn’t matter what Deadline posts. Everything is the worst. Argh!
No Rufus… it wasn’t supposed to be ridiculous. It was supposed to be funny or something. And it wasn’t funny and I’m not really sure it was anything. Oh, and I’m not a troll but I am positive.
I’m positive it was awful.
This is the greatest thing in the world today!
SS = J. Garafalo
It was funnier than most of the stuff you see on tv
Dear ron, if this was funnier that most of what youre watching on TV, I suggest you stop watching tv…I dont really think its working out for you.
Reggie Watts, say no more. I mean, he needs to stop.
That’s not true at all.
Not funny and way too long.
FIVE MINUTES!?’
You have to be kidding me. This is the internet. FIve minutes is an eternity!
Sarah needs new management
Bill Hicks and George Carlin just rolled over in their graves. This is what comedy has come to. Bravo. I’ll be paying attention to the new studio headed by Matt Stone and Trey Parker. If they put out stuff like South Park and Book of Mormon there will be no need for garbage like Jash. Sarah Silverman really wasted her talents.
It was absolutely awful and not funny.
Like most of the “in the know” readers of Deadline, I didn’t really get this video. But I showed it to my Dad and he thought it was a very funny goof and a spoof.
Hopefully ur dad keeps paying ur cable bill and you can tell him what’s “in the know funny” and what’s not.
Terrible. Not funny. I hope their videos are better.
Um, not sure what that was, I kind of lost interest when it became readily apparent there was no humor to be found. The years have not been kind to SS, no longer desirable for her girly parts or getting work based upon her sucking skills. I guess the WWW is the only medium in which she has not epically failed yet. Perhaps she can look forward to hustling geezers on cruise ships before moving on to granny porn.
What does JASH stand for, Jokes Are Surely Horrible?
