Dead game no longer dead?! I tried public matchmaking this morning and quickly got into a 7-player game - YOU DID THIS! Thanks, gamers, for giving Be Funny Now 2.0 a chance. Try it out today!
All thanks to my HIT top comment, you're welcome john
To utilize your channel to push it, could have a tournament where the best contestants are featured in a vid. Get the Comp scene for BFN rolling.
The game keeps crashing for me. Love it but can't play it :(
I think more people will play this game if cosmetic items cycled every hour or so.
hey, i’ll be honest, i’m haven’t wanted to play the game because it looks like it takes itself too seriously.
it’s just not wacky and whimsical enough, john. games where you need to be funny should look wacky and whimsical. When i wonder if i should play with my friends, i shouldn’t be worried about them thinking it looks weird because the characters are built like that and have soulless eyes and animations. it’s just too generic looking i guess. thanks for reading my critique, and i hope for your game to succeed however you proceed with it.
Thank you for this opportunity 🙂
You’re welcome ☺️

The fact that you can hear Chills almost breaking as he reads the copy is fantastic.

He learned after how badly he handled the original criticism
@@chronica6457 context?
@@johnpaulcross424 Might be misremembering but Jack made a video called "Why I Hate Jacksfilms", which a lot of people saw as a salty response to criticism towards Be Funny Now.
@@johnpaulcross424 When he first announced the game some people didn't like it, so Jack made a very condescending ideo where he acted like an angry fan and recited the common criticisms in the most passive-agressive and entitled way
Some people didn't mind, but there were a lot of people who didn't think it was a very nice way of handling things
Just like that youtube series that needed more slide whistles
It’s nice to see big creators like chills supporting smaller creators

"Uh oh, stinky"
@@bloodsuccaa i mean ofc not! Chills is the most famous youtuber with 15 billion subs. Number 15 billion subs i should say

Ew. Re-using jokes is gross

@Dilbot female . Oooo ooo
so proud of jack for reinventing quiplash
Except it’s free
Nahhh… looks like Tee K.O.
I actually think it's a bit better than Quiplash. The timer tiebreaker changes the dynamics completely, and there is no bracket system in Quiplash. It does live or die on how good the prompts are, though.
@@ThJakester897 it's like bracketeering, which is just a worse version of quiplash
looks like bracketeering, which is a bad quiplash because you read the funny answers, laugh for the first time and then you keep voting for the same answers that you already seen and it kinda sucks, quiplash is better
You KNOW Jack was writing the script to this bit quietly giggling to himself

Rest In Funny Now 🕊
It died again
Thank you Jack for making Chills say "Uh oh, stinky", my life is made now
Be Funny Now was an incredible game that my friends all loved playing while drunk. We didn't even know it had failed in the matchmaking aspect because we just played in a closed group. It's still a fun game, and I look forward to any and all updates! Thank you, Jack.
hearing chills genuinely say "yucky" almost made me laugh
when did he say yucky
@@taqqle 1:16
the biggest sad...this game is really fun, but it died again. been waiting on matchmaking for 5 minutes, nothing
Jack is probably one of the only creators to actively listen to his fans and know when something isn’t working out, I’m glad he completely owned up to it instead of doubling down on it and ignoring the issue
@@srizzyep1616 so after reading your original comment on this video it makes a lot more sense as to why you think the update didn’t fix anything, and I agree that there are still major flaws with the voting system. I can’t counter argue since I haven’t played the game myself, but I will say that my point still stands. You’re completely right to criticize the game, but the fact in of itself that he still made an attempt to improve the game shows that he is willing to accept and use feedback from his audience, which is a lot farther than most creators go, especially for a mobile game. I don’t mean to spark an argument, I just wanted to defend my point a bit more
@@srizzyep1616 what a lovely and respectful conversation this was. internetcommentetiquette would be proud
Wish he'd do the same for the BetterHelp adverts and get rid of them (BetterHelp does more harm than good).
@@squampie Not enough cloud people
Wow
the no naked mode was really the biggest problem, i'm so glad i can finally tell my greatest joke while showing the audience everything!
edit: i've been informed that the naked mode has still not been released. john, you have once again disappointed me and many other individuals.
4:28 If I had a nickel everytime Jack tried to make a better version of twitter, where you chose between different options that ended up failing, I’d have 2 nickels
Jack, you're probably the creator I have the most respect for for being able to acknowledge when a project you worked on didn't turn out. You put a huge time investment into the app and to be able to swallow your pride and speak to it says a lot about you as a creator.
i forgor 💀
I thought this video was gonna be a funeral for BFM, but turns out Jack is just a good game developer
edit: jack you have to change the name of the game to “Be Funny Meow”; sorry, I don’t make the rules.
BFN*
Be Funny Mow
Be Funny Meow
Be funny meow
He isn't a developer. This game is contracted by a game developer
The fact that he got Chills himself to do the narration 💀💀💀
Chills going "oh oh, stinky" was not what I knew I needed but I'm so grateful to have had that addition to my life.
Congratulations Jack you invented Quiplash.
Tbh, when I played the game with my friends, back when it initially launched, they all agreed that "the idea is cool, but the prompts are not that great". So allowing custom prompts might help a lot. An option to send prompt ideas so they can be oficially added to the game would be nice too.
I think the ability to send them in an have them vetted would be a good idea
I'm talking about the suggestions and not pets
Though both should be vetted
@@Hauntaku ttue
toki!
You’re a legend for getting chills and for admitting that your game failed. Bravo for reworking the game. I’ll be sure to check it out.
so its just quiplash but inherently less funny because its being played exclusively by jacksfilms fans
Yup.
Yup.
Yup.
Thank you jacksfilms fans for proving how inherently unfunny you are.
Kids. It's being played by kids. Jack has no fans beyond the age of 14.
I feel so sad for Jack, he had put so much time and effort into this game. It really has great potential
bro didnt even watch the video
@@evan2623 yeah
It really doesn't help he's playing into a market that already has similar games that are much more well known.
Still too much like quiplash to really be successful for very long
And the potential will be realised from improvements to the game like this
This did a better job of making me want to play be funny now than any of the shorts and ads he put out
If I had a nickel for every time Jacksfilms created a game claiming to be superior than Twitter where people vote on each other's prompts, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that happened twice.
I feel bad for Jack, the main problem of the game was the majority of players not being funny enough to make a good match, which has still been glossed over in this update
The epitome of "skill issue"
Wow huge props for improving the game instead of abandoning it
jacksfilms: hey can I copy your homework?
jackbox: fine, but don't make it too obvious
I like how jack and the devs actually took the time to improve the game than just abandon it, props to him!!
lmao this game always struck me as a discount Jackbox game and now he made it exactly like Jackbox
jack is so intuitive it’s crazy, not only fixing an entire video game but making a funny video while taking shots at himself. he is the epitome of a youtuber
@@srizzyep1616 did you watch the video??
*CHILLS* is an absolute legend for doing the intro, and JackFilm is an absolute legend for his ability to collaborate with anyone
Mad respect for taking feedback and openly improving your product!
I had trouble sleeping everyday but after installing your game I sleep instantly due to the boredom. Thank you Jack
Truly
Nicest fan of jacksfilms:
lmao
I feel bad him. He worked really hard on it but people just naturally forget things
Number 7 🤷
@@wawadu2117 lol I did. Idk if it people started playing again tho
@@somethingsuperbland8829 I'm playing it rn
@@Hauntaku nice. Glad to hear it
I’ve noticed a problem that’s plagued both versions and that’s people mass leaving when they realise they’re losing and it ruins it
i feel so sad for this man, like legit
My main problem was number 9 - I felt like it was getting in the way of your normal content. But I'm happy to see that instead of giving up, you went back to the drawing board and tried to make it better. I'll give it another shot.
I already know this is gonna be good if you ACTUALLY GOT CHILLS to do the opening narration.
Also: as ever, Jack, we fans always appreciate you trying new things and expanding platforms bc we know you only pursue projects like this if you really feel passionately about them. We keep coming back bc you always learn from mistakes, own up to them, and fix them, which puts you leagues ahead of other content creators and is why you still have a real following after over a decade on YT. We love you and we’ll never stop supporting you.
@it's about time agreed. I feel offended 💀💀.
@it's about time Whet does that have to do with anything?
@@SuperJNG18 'tis but a bot. report and ignore. it's on every comment on this one.
I think a browser version of the game would be really cool. You'd be surprised how large the browser game market still is despite it's competition. Then again, probably more work than it's worth.
I downloaded this game on steam and I let it load for almost an hour, like when I clicked on public match or whatever it didn’t work, it kept saying looking for match. We need to bring back this game.
Honestly, I didn't even realize that was my issue with the game until it was stated here. I haven't opened it up in a while because I was continually in public games where people would down vote very funny answers, and the scoring system didn't feel intuitive. All of it made it more tedious to play than anything. Glad to see that you haven't lost your passion for this project, and are still doing what you can to make it enjoyable to everyone. Awesome job, and I'll definitely have to try the game out again with the new system.
5 seconds in and this is already a masterpiece…
5 minutes 38 seconds in and it is a masterpiece.
Lol
only jacksfilms can turn a video explaining why his game failed into an ad for his game.
Welp…
Last I checked 2.0 was at a count of 6 players!
I’m impressed by the humility you have to admit the original game’s flaws
Last feature I’d love to see is an audience mode. I often play with groups larger than 8, let us all vote for our favorites!
Huge respect for taking the feedback seriously while being able to joke about it too. This seems like a big improvement and I can't wait to play!
Wow, this video aged well. They finally have -0 players!
This video is incredible. It has chills, It accepts criticism, it includes nudity, and it throws shade at twitter! What more could you want?
I knew this game was gonna fail when I realized he had a game. It was today.
I’m sorry.
THIS is how you response to your players! Doesn't change the game in a whole but changes smaller things that makes the game itself BETTER! Only way is up!
I love how instead of abandoning the app like other youtubers he is actually comitting
this is the greatest apology video, getting CHILLS HIMSELF to make a top 10. i feel so bad for jack that the game failed, but i am so proud of him for sticking with it and am excited to try the completely new different game. feel bad i never got a notification that the game is in 2.0 now, but god this is a gem. thanks, jack. and kudos for not taking it too hard and rolling with it
Props you’re still updating the game and listening to feedback despite a ton of people leaving. I’m definitely gonna check it out again now.
One of the things I love about Jack is his relentless drive to constantly improve
and... now it has 0 players.
I really thought this was going to be a "The rise and fall of Be Funny Now" video 💀
Honestly this takes some guts, most triple A companys will dig their heals in but you are honest about your shortcomings and worked too fix it and you did it with good humor and without all the “poor me” that many videos like devolve into.
it makes zero sense to me considering you make more money if you just listen to feedback and improve the game.
@@johnmarkson1998 but then how 50 somethings rereleasing an unpolished turd would have to grow a sense of shame
Number 9 was for sure a big one for me. The amount of advertising and promotional stuff made me not want to play. But you’ve always been fantastic at accepting criticism with these things so I had no doubt that you would fix these issues
The opening was hilarious! Excellent job with this one to you and Chills both!
I'm sorry your game ran into a hiccup, but power to you for adapting and overcoming! You're doing good work, Jack!
Honestly, I'm really glad you addressed this even though the issue is so harsh. The no nudity aspect really put me off the game and I can't wait to see it improved in the future
Jack was so depressed he morphed his vocal chords
You've done irreparable damage to my vocabulary. I caught myself saying "Yikes" unironically yesterday
i think it died again
it did
Imagine thinking a literal Jackbox game was gonna do well.
Hearing chills say I forgor is now a new highlight of my life lmao
I literally have no words for how great of a change this is, amazing work to jack and the team!!
It's crazy how I forgot Jackfilm the moment the game was released but now that this video released I subscribed again
It was so annoying to play with everyone just getting negative thousands for scores because everyone would downvote as hard as they could on everything. Glad this was picked up on, and hopefully this will fix it.
I'm really glad to see this. I first tried to download the game and there were a bunch of complaints and no one was online, but now seeing this I think it'll be really fun
Honestly the lack of nudity really was the thing that prevented me from playing it. I really hope this is addressed in the future.
i love how all of us are focusing on chills way more then the actual game announcement
Im really sorry to see you struggle. im just a pixel on the screen to you but behind the screen i am so invested in your success. you deserve it
the new version is very quippy, but it also gives me quite some whiplash
I love love LOVE how dedicated Jack is!!!
So… It’s now Quiplash…
Genuinely good update. Although I'll forever cherish the match I had where everyone in top 3 had negative scores
it's so haunting to hear chills talk in jack's words
This is one of the most professional things i’ve seen from a youtuber, so, honestly, thanks so much jack, the game actually looks super fun!
This is gonna be in the JohnBox Pantry Pack 7, and it'll be called "Quit splash 3"
Hell yeah! Love that you're open about your mistakes and either to rework BFN's flaws and give it another shot!
Jack there was straight up a night where the only people on BFN were me and my boyfriend, I felt so sad and I missed BFN so much, so glad you revamped it!
dude really got chills for this
Here's hoping for success this time around, glad the issues were dealt with.
Sorry to hear that the first version of this game didn't do well after a promising start, but it's great that there was an opportunity to update it! Best of luck!
Super excited to try out the new naked mode! Thank you for listening to your community jackfilm! :)
Man I’ve missed playing this game. I’m glad it got reworked while also keeping the original format. I look forward to playing again.
