When they announced Naughty Pack as "the adult oriented pack" I expected a switcharoo with every game being actually about boring ADULT things like paying your taxes or engaging in small talk, I wanted it to be full of games like Survive the Internet on Linkedin, YDKJ about politics, Quiplash at a funeral, etc
The problem with the concept is that it's just not fun to force people to be horny. The great thing about how open ended Jackbox games is, is you can make them as horny as you want them to be. When you force everyone to be horny in a really "back of a Spencer's" way it's just weird and unpleasant. Also it's too much money for 3 games. If it was $15 I'd honestly consider it more
I stand by the fact that Monster Seeking Monster should have been here, mainly because that game already was rather tense in the sense already. Not every group was going to enjoy that game as is, so it felt like a good one to just go all the way with. On top of that, you could literally just rebalance some monsters (like Zombie), and then add a new risk to it by making the whole thing themed around swinging. You can pair up with your date from the previous night, but this time get a 3rd person involved. All three of you would have to agree, and there would be massive points, but you'd then be screwing someone else out of their points. And if even 1 person disagrees, as consent is important, then _no one_ in the group gets points. I feel that would have been perfect for this pack.
M rated Jackbox seems like something that should be a toggle in the standard games rather than be its own thing. A game like Cards Against Humanity is definitely mature, but not every card in the game is a mature card.
The problem with this Jackbox is that it tries too hard to be “adult” and “crude” but it ultimately comes off as lame. Sex and drugs can only be funny for so long.
It also doesn't really fill any void. Since a lot of Jackbox games already rely on custom prompts/drawins, you can already make them as crude as you want them to be.
yeah, and like silok mentioned at the start, they can only be so crude and edgy before it becomes controversial. and if they're too scared to make "offensive" games, then fine whatever. but then that just makes you wonder why they'd make an adult themed game in the first place.
There becomes a certain point where it becomes boring, and I've started playing many games where I'm not allowed to make a sex joke and force myself to be more creative. I've even started trying to psych out my opposition and predict everything they do because it's more difficult, and it has greater impact when I pull it off. When you call out the other person for forcing a dick joke in quiplash, it gets way better response than attempting your own.
It's like Family Feud after Steve Harvey took over. Instead of having naughty moments that happen organically and are actually fun, it just sucks and can get weirdly uncomfortable.
@@henrynelson9301 What I think they mean is when Steve ask questions that obviously have naughty answers, as opposed to the contestant coming up with the naughty answer themselves. Like, there's a difference between a question like "What part of your husband gets big and hard at night?" vs "What do you like the most about your husband?"
I’m going to be honest I have a sneaking suspicion that faking it 2 was supposed to be in party pack 11. Then after they cancelled 11 for this year they said, “aw what the hell, let’s just throw it in the naughty pack we already worked on it”
0:45 Seeing my 2 year old comment in one of your videos is so awesome to see! Also for anyone curious I think Party Pack 7 is my most favorite due to how solid the game selection is, while also loving games from Packs like 8 or 3 for example.
I’ve always thought they should make a couples (2 player) focused jackbox game. I get it’s funnier with more people and jackbox has always been focused towards friends groups but there’s a surprisingly sparse niche for couples games and humor is a big part of any relationship. Don’t focus it all on “adult” stuff but you can def have it in there for spice. Idk, if anyone knows of anything similar to what I’m describing, let me know
@@SmoothTurtle840 ive played it with friends like 3 times and in each i had the funniest bit of the night, the last one i did was me larping as jerma pretending to be the "sus guy"
I was open to the idea of this but, yeah... in hindsight this pack kinda just didn't make a whole lot of sense to make. Intentionally "Adult" prompts just kinda makes things awkward most of the time because everyone has wildly different levels of comfort with that kind of stuff. It works well when the adult jokes come exclusively from the players who are usually playing with close friends because they each can better gauge where the line of comfort lies within the group and make jokes that don't cross that line too hard too often (sometimes that line will get crossed anyway but that's a problem for the group to deal with). Now when the raunchiness is in prompts themselves, the jokes are likely going to blow past that level of comfort for a lot of people, making for a more awkward experience that's only gonna work for very specific groups of people. The roster here isn't too well rounded either, making 2 of the 3 games here sequel games that don't really intertwine all that well with the adult theming doesn't make for a super enticing package. I'll probably be skipping this one altogether tbh. After Pack 10's mixed reception, this probably isn't what they needed. I am shocked at how harsh the Steam reception has been though. Hoping they can recover from this slump next time.
And games like Cards Against Humanity make it work by just not caring about the taboos against politics and the like, meaning it has more material to work with
The idea of having a debate game is brilliant. Here's a quick concept I came up with that utilizes a court setting/theme: everyone is sent two prompts that are molded as issues that need resolved (but are open-ended, meaning they have more than just an affirmative and negative solution). Each of these prompts are shared with another player, just like Quiplash. The difference is that when one of your prompts shows up on screen, instead of having the answers pop up like a normal Quiplash game, each player gets 15 seconds to introduce their prompt independent of the other player. After, there is one minute of open discussion where the two players poke holes in each other's arguments and debate whose is better (this open discussion nullifies any recency bias in who presents their original topic first). Then, there is 30 seconds of deliberation time among the remaining players ("jury members"), and they then vote on who made the better argument. HOWEVER, if there is an even number of jury members, the jury gets awarded a couple points for coming up with a verdict and not having a tied vote (side note: you could maybe add a stipulation to that that only the people in the majority opinion get those points). This is a court setting, and a hung jury would defeat the point of the game, especially after getting deliberation time. The kicker is that if they do still have a tied vote, those few bonus points would not be awarded to the jury members, and BOTH of the presenters would get MAX points. Repeat this process until you go through everyone's prompts. Finally, you have the, well, final round. This could be one last prompt that everyone gets to respond to. Each person gets 15 seconds to present their solution, and then you RANK all of the other opinions from worst to best (this forces you to consider all responses, once again nullifying recency bias in regards to the order of answers being shown). The rankings are averaged, and points are awarded based on how highly everyone views your solution. Then all that's left is for points to be tallied and for a winner to be declared! I don't want to get into point values because someone better than me at balancing those things could figure that out, but I think it'd overall be a comedic and fun game. Lemme know what ya'll think.
Crazy how the video on the Party Pack with 3 games is longer than every Silok Party Pack review with 5 games and is almost as long as the video where he ranked every Jackbox game😂
They should've turned Fakin It All Night Long to Fakin It 2 and put it on Pack 11. Just remove the sexual prompts, put in new ones and change the sprites and voila! A Great Game!
Yknow if I were asked to picture "Drawful but nsfw", having Bikini Bottom's Skys as the background is probably the last thong my mind would have come up with.
This pack seems to have the same issue that cards against humanity tends to run into - there are only so many ways you can combine swear words before it's not funny anymore. Quiplash and similar games are at their best when people are trying to be clever, not crude; so when your only option is crude it gets old fast
6:30 I’ve always felt that the main objective upon seeing who has pointed at who IRL is to look for outliers. You’re more likely to question somebody who is working against the grain. Finding outliers in the second screen is harder, but the screen seems more intuitive for questioning people after the fact. I feel it sets up very nicely for direct and quick discussion.
They should make a Fak’in it all night long alternative where it’s more family friendly because that would just make it so much more better. Please!!!!
Pretty much every question from the pack i saw in this video was sexual in nature. Only having sex jokes makes them get boring real fast, especially in Let Me Finish where the jokes don’t even make any sense
@@axerity9212 thought I responded to you already. Maybe I linked it and UA-cam deleted my reply, but it was “Jackbox Missed (The Naughty Pack)” by TieTuesdayCLIPS.
I do think that having limited types of humour in a Jackbox game is a bad idea. The reason why Quiplash works so well is because you make whatever joke you feel like that day. But in these, every day is a sex joke.
Let me finish feels like they needed a third game right before the pack was scheduled to drop and they went "SHIT FUCK UHHHH THE ONE THAT WE ARE MAKING IN THE LABS"
Let me finish genuinely feels like an idea scrapped from another jack box pack because it play tested horribly, and just added to this one because they didn't have any better ideas Also, why was there not a monster-seeking monster sequel? That's the first thing that I thought of when I saw Jackbox Naughty Pack. Like, I get that it would absolutely have the opportunity to get really uncomfortable, but so do the other games in this pack? I think they genuinely put way too much effort into trying to make games that they could just make prompts to justify the age rating, rather than picking games that would justify the atmosphere a bit better.
Also, like, if they wanted to just do a fucking horny jackbox game, why didn't they try and make something that doesn't hit the general jack box formula? I genuinely think something as format breaking as zeeple dome ( Obviously, not literally a zeeple dome sequel, but something that breaks really far away from the general Jackbox comedy formula.) could have actually done pretty well in this pack.
I think it really just comes down to- being forced to make sex jokes makes them significantly less fun. Jackbox games set the stage for you to take it anywhere. The jokes are funny because the punchlines are often unexpected. When the game sells itself entirely around being lewd and the prompts make the sex jokes for you, what're you really left to do other than go "haha. yeah. i guess." Juxtaposition is also a huge part of what makes a lot of jackbox responses funny. In JobJob, you're in an office interview, so if the question is "what do you do in your freetime?" Then something like "Spank spank spank your grandma" is funny because it doesn't fit the setting. Like you demonstrated, if the game is centered around sex, then the funniest thing players can do is try to break out of that box by making non-sex jokes, but with the game being much more narrow in subject matter that makes it a lot harder. It comes down to whether you can have fun within the parameters of the game or if you have to ignore them. And it's hard to talk about without thinking about how much they could've done with this same general premise
Talking Points is usually the Jackbox Game that I'm most excited to play, but the amount of pressure to effectively improvise short solo comedy routines often keeps my group from choosing it. "Talking Points but it's a debate between two players (or more) instead of a single player being thrust alone into the spotlight" feels like it should have been foolproof; how'd we get Let Me Finish instead?
Your virginity is definitely the worst thing to sell door to door. You can only make a single sale of that and then you have nothing to sell anymore. If you sell the good good you presumably have enough for multiple buyers
I might be a stick in the mud, but I'm a college student and I despise Let Me Finish. I thought it was funny for the first couple rounds, and then the humor was completely lost on me. I played it with my irl friend group that I play most of my irl Jackbox games with, and it only took them about 3 or 4 questions to start wanting to play something else. In short, I feel like Let Me Finish was exclusively for people who are either half asleep or on something, because I couldn't imagine myself laughing at any of the prompts at my most delirious.
I was really curious if you were gonna do a video on this XD I'm actually surprised you did knowing how uh... spicy the game is Also nice to see a new video! You are THE channel for me to who uploads exactly in the right time every time and idk how that happens but thank god it's now
Dude, the first thing I thought of when this game was announced was: Wait, what will Silokhawk say to his younger family members when this game is for 18+ Because I am pretty sure he plays the new jackbox with his family every year
Great video! I agree with your takes on basically all the games, but I wanted to explain why I think the fact Fakin It ANL doesn’t tell you you’re the faker during the final round is a good change I actually like. In the OG Fakin it, the main difference between the main rounds and the final round is that the faker actually gets a prompt to work with in the final round, the problem that then comes with the faker knowing they’re the faker, is that since they’re expected to answer their prompt truthfully, and they know their prompt is going to be different, there’s nothing stopping them from just flat out lying. (I.E, if the faker got “name your favorite vegetable” they know they’re the faker so what’s to stop them from putting “apple” and completely blending in). I think Fakin It ANL not telling you you’re the faker until after you answer the prompts is really smart because it eliminates the possibility of someone lying about their prompts bc they know they’re different. Because to your knowledge you are much more likely to not be the faker, and by lying in your prompt you are then putting suspicion on yourself for no reason and selling the game for your teammates. I understand you could also argue “just don’t cheat then” and yeah that’s valid, but Fakin It has always been one of the more competitive jackbox games to me, and I actually HAVE had somebody do the exact thing I described in a Fakin It game before (we all gave them shit for it) so at the very least I just think it’s a very neat way to eliminate a loophole in the gameplay.
I feel like this pack would've been successful if they allowed themselves to be edgy with it and you can just censor which things you don't want. But also just putting in variety. Like I saw in the Drawful one of your friends put "Jeffrey Epstein" for big nose pervert, and Jeffrey was a funnier answer. In reality, I think a naughty extension/expansion would've been nicer. Like they update some base games by adding dirtier prompts then selling that for $0.99 per game or something, but then that would prove that they can update Party Packs instead of making a new one every year so yeah that will never happen.
I've only played this pack once so far, we played a single game of Let Me Finish and were so drained by the game by the 2nd prompt that we just... wrapped the game up early because no one wanted to continue. We then were gonna play Dirty Drawful until someone pointed out that it was just gonna be Drawful but you're asked to draw a penis, so we instead played Drawful 2. We did not play Fakin It All Night Long, entirely because everyone in the call didn't really know each other that well, and the game could've asked a question where the answer wasn't something that people were willing to divulge with a call full of mostly strangers. Overall, God I hope we get a normal party pack after this one.
I really hope this fakin it Sequel gets a change and is added to a future family friendly pack. I have been wanting a sequel for years and I hope it's not just relagated to this
This game feels like it has the exact same issue as cards against humanity. It might be funny for a few minutes but at the end of the day being able to take something not inherently "Dark" or "naughty " and then use tools to make it funny. Apples to Apples will always be funnier then Cards for this exact reason.
My personal opinions on the Naughty Pack: Fakin' It All Night Long is a 7/10. Aesthetically and mechanically it's great. Good music, good visuals, improved gameplay that allows remote play for streamed games. The biggest downside for me are the prompts, which are about 70-80% safehorny and then some drug related stuff. If it had an option to use normal prompts instead of adult prompts, it'd shoot up to 9/10, or maybe even 10/10. As it is it's still enjoyable, but almost everyone I've played with pretty much exclusively picks Emojinal Damage and only rarely branches out to other categories, which is usually You Gotta Point. Dirty Drawful is a 4/10. The better drawing tools are fine. The prompts are... about what you'd expect from a Custom Episode made by horny teenage boys, which you could theoretically load up on any Drawful. What REALLY tanks Dirty Drawful's score is the emoji spam. Which 1 single player can do over the ENTIRE game to spam obnoxious sound effects and emojis which block part of the drawing and responses on screen. You can't turn it off. You can't see who's doing it to kick them from your game. You just have to endure the scream sfx and the barf sfx FOR TWENTY MINUTES. Without Emojis, it'd be like a 6 or 7 as well, decent but if you have Animate or Drawful 2 there's no real reason to play DD since if you enjoy those prompts you could play custom episodes. Let Me Finish is a 0/10. It's half an hour of everyone drawing genitalia on inanimate objects. It's like they took the (lack of) structure from Fixytext and applied it to the drawing aspects of Patently Stupid or Civic Doodle, while simultaneously having the worst prompts imaginable, that are trying more to shock you with how edgy they are then provide a SETUP for YOU, THE PERSON PLAYING to be able to respond to IN A FUNNY OR MEANINGFUL WAY. Overall I give Naughty Pack a 2.2/10, or a 1.1 out of 5. And I get this from adding up the scores from all 3 games, then dividing by 5 to find the average score of the games. Because EVERY Jackbox Pack has had 5 games until now, so it's only fair to judge the Naughty Pack with the same criteria. I'm REALLY hoping they take the code for Fakin' It All Night Long and use it to put a regular Fakin' It 2 into Pack 11 because it has fantastic potential, and I don't want to have to hope that the Jackbox modders can get All Night Long into a "normal Jackbox game" state.
Eh, the pack is also cheaper than the 5 game ones so i dunno that the extra division was neccesary, but honestly even on it's own merits this is like a 3/10 lol
I see the naughty pack as a "how do you do fellow kids" moment, where the devs saw everyone making jokes about drugs and sex and thought we wanted games that force them down your throat
25:56 I agree Basically any game could technically be fun with the right friendgroup. But at that point it's only fun because of the people you're with, not because of the game
It was smart to capitalize on making a pack catered to mature humor and more explicit adult content. The over reliance on sex jokes makes it just feel barren and lacking in content for what it could be. Having rare out of pocket prompts made the original games more exciting; and even the mediocre prompts could be fun with a creative group. I’ve seen enough to say I won’t be buying this one :(
Man, it makes me really upset Fakin' It got a brand new sequel, in the pack that's nothing but sex jokes. Like sex jokes can be funny, but from what was shown, these are painfully unfunny and uninteresting. And it just makes me truely upset we still don't have a legitimate Fakin' It sequel after all these years.
"Let Me Finish" sounds like an awful time. Those prompts are not funny at all. "Which one of these pens has never cleaned their fleshlight?" I don't know!!! They're just pens!! How am I supposed to choose one over the other?
42:37 That's actually how I play in person most times: grabbing my laptop and an hdmi to hook up to the TV, and navigating menus with a wired controller
I have a reason on why not to jump in in let me finish. For each player that jumps in, the more points get into the jump in pool. If you think your idea has no chance of getting a vote because it is so bad, you can choose not to jump in to avoid giving the other players more points. (Even then though, points received for jump ins are so minor)
I guess at that point I'd ask: If you don't think your jokes funny enough to be voted on, then why are you even playing the game? In a game about putting yourself out there; If a player has insecurities about themslef not being funny, then odds are they were never going to enjoy the game to begin with.
as much as i like fakin' it making a return here (and with some better features as well), there could've been some better choices for m rated sequels, like monster seeking monster and survive the internet.
This game is the personification of someone forcibly telling a joke. What made horny jokes funny is that it's used sparingly, making it almost a surprise for the other participants. When the game is nothing but horny, it gets stale real quick. The only good thing about this pack was the presentation. I'd throw a couple dollar bills for Stripper Drawful Owl
Frankly, I think the only way I'd buy this pack is if Fakin' It had the ability to bring the old prompts back or get custom prompts. But by that point, you're already seeing that the Naughty Pack is ruined by its own foundation.
This honestly went under my radar, and now that I’m thinking about it… Why…? Why does this exist? Feel like what makes Jackbox fun is what you put into it, so the game making all of the horny sex jokes for you is… less fun.
One time I was playing the Fakin' It game on Twitch, and the prompt was "Raise your hand if you're horny, hungry or both." I was the faker and the only one with my hand down, so I got sussed out. So yeah, it's definitely possible to be suspicious with your hand down, but most of the time it's not.
Fakin' It All Night Long seems really really fun, but some of those questions are definitely waaaaaaaaay too crazy, I'm a very open person but even I wouldn't admit to some of those
9:21 I have my own example from one of the games we played. When I was the faker and it said "pick an emoji of a vehicle" because the overall theme was "Sex stuff" it was very easy to intuit that the original prompt would have something to do with having sex in a vehicle.
I am really, really hoping they bring back Fakin It in the next installment. The upgrades they've done are so great, just the questions suck. But I am afraid this is gonna be our final Fakin It 😓 Also, kinda glad they didn't do a saucey Monster Dating Monster. I feel like if you don't have a chill group of friends or a chill partner, things could get bad
I’m going to be honest I have a sneaking suspicion that faking it 2 was supposed to be in party pack 11. Then after they cancelled 11 for this year they said, “aw what the hell, let’s just throw it in the naughty pack we already worked on it”

I'll probably be skipping this one altogether tbh. After Pack 10's mixed reception, this probably isn't what they needed. I am shocked at how harsh the Steam reception has been though. Hoping they can recover from this slump next time.
And games like Cards Against Humanity make it work by just not caring about the taboos against politics and the like, meaning it has more material to work with
The idea of having a debate game is brilliant. Here's a quick concept I came up with that utilizes a court setting/theme: everyone is sent two prompts that are molded as issues that need resolved (but are open-ended, meaning they have more than just an affirmative and negative solution). Each of these prompts are shared with another player, just like Quiplash. The difference is that when one of your prompts shows up on screen, instead of having the answers pop up like a normal Quiplash game, each player gets 15 seconds to introduce their prompt independent of the other player. After, there is one minute of open discussion where the two players poke holes in each other's arguments and debate whose is better (this open discussion nullifies any recency bias in who presents their original topic first). Then, there is 30 seconds of deliberation time among the remaining players ("jury members"), and they then vote on who made the better argument. HOWEVER, if there is an even number of jury members, the jury gets awarded a couple points for coming up with a verdict and not having a tied vote (side note: you could maybe add a stipulation to that that only the people in the majority opinion get those points). This is a court setting, and a hung jury would defeat the point of the game, especially after getting deliberation time. The kicker is that if they do still have a tied vote, those few bonus points would not be awarded to the jury members, and BOTH of the presenters would get MAX points. Repeat this process until you go through everyone's prompts. Finally, you have the, well, final round. This could be one last prompt that everyone gets to respond to. Each person gets 15 seconds to present their solution, and then you RANK all of the other opinions from worst to best (this forces you to consider all responses, once again nullifying recency bias in regards to the order of answers being shown). The rankings are averaged, and points are awarded based on how highly everyone views your solution. Then all that's left is for points to be tallied and for a winner to be declared! I don't want to get into point values because someone better than me at balancing those things could figure that out, but I think it'd overall be a comedic and fun game. Lemme know what ya'll think.
Crazy how the video on the Party Pack with 3 games is longer than every Silok Party Pack review with 5 games and is almost as long as the video where he ranked every Jackbox game😂
They should've turned Fakin It All Night Long to Fakin It 2 and put it on Pack 11. Just remove the sexual prompts, put in new ones and change the sprites and voila! A Great Game!
In fact, this can work for all three games.
Honestly you could probably keep the sexual prompts behind an option in the settings menu, kinda how you could turn on family friendly mode
Yknow if I were asked to picture "Drawful but nsfw", having Bikini Bottom's Skys as the background is probably the last thong my mind would have come up with.
I never really considered a Jackbox game a bad game, even the controversial Jackbox 10, but this… this is a bad game…
This pack seems to have the same issue that cards against humanity tends to run into - there are only so many ways you can combine swear words before it's not funny anymore. Quiplash and similar games are at their best when people are trying to be clever, not crude; so when your only option is crude it gets old fast
6:30 I’ve always felt that the main objective upon seeing who has pointed at who IRL is to look for outliers. You’re more likely to question somebody who is working against the grain. Finding outliers in the second screen is harder, but the screen seems more intuitive for questioning people after the fact. I feel it sets up very nicely for direct and quick discussion.
Jackbox party pack if it was written by Vivziepop.
They should make a Fak’in it all night long alternative where it’s more family friendly because that would just make it so much more better. Please!!!!
Every Jackbox game can be “adult” if you aren’t a coward
I’m just glad you didn’t fully quit, you are probably one of my favourite UA-camrs
Pretty much every question from the pack i saw in this video was sexual in nature. Only having sex jokes makes them get boring real fast, especially in Let Me Finish where the jokes don’t even make any sense
blacklight for "bathroom wall in a dirty club" drawful woulda been genius wow
I will never forget “titttaaayyys” in the one game of Dirty Drawful I have ever seen streamed of this.
That was the turning point of that stream.
i need the link
@@axerity9212 thought I responded to you already. Maybe I linked it and UA-cam deleted my reply, but it was “Jackbox Missed (The Naughty Pack)” by TieTuesdayCLIPS.
I do think that having limited types of humour in a Jackbox game is a bad idea.
The reason why Quiplash works so well is because you make whatever joke you feel like that day.
But in these, every day is a sex joke.
Let me finish feels like they needed a third game right before the pack was scheduled to drop and they went "SHIT FUCK UHHHH THE ONE THAT WE ARE MAKING IN THE LABS"
I'm glad you're still doing video I missed you since the Wii tanks
Let me finish genuinely feels like an idea scrapped from another jack box pack because it play tested horribly, and just added to this one because they didn't have any better ideas
Also, why was there not a monster-seeking monster sequel? That's the first thing that I thought of when I saw Jackbox Naughty Pack. Like, I get that it would absolutely have the opportunity to get really uncomfortable, but so do the other games in this pack?
I think they genuinely put way too much effort into trying to make games that they could just make prompts to justify the age rating, rather than picking games that would justify the atmosphere a bit better.
Also, like, if they wanted to just do a fucking horny jackbox game, why didn't they try and make something that doesn't hit the general jack box formula?
I genuinely think something as format breaking as zeeple dome ( Obviously, not literally a zeeple dome sequel, but something that breaks really far away from the general Jackbox comedy formula.) could have actually done pretty well in this pack.
>let m- AAAACKK
I think it really just comes down to- being forced to make sex jokes makes them significantly less fun. Jackbox games set the stage for you to take it anywhere. The jokes are funny because the punchlines are often unexpected. When the game sells itself entirely around being lewd and the prompts make the sex jokes for you, what're you really left to do other than go "haha. yeah. i guess."
Juxtaposition is also a huge part of what makes a lot of jackbox responses funny. In JobJob, you're in an office interview, so if the question is "what do you do in your freetime?" Then something like "Spank spank spank your grandma" is funny because it doesn't fit the setting. Like you demonstrated, if the game is centered around sex, then the funniest thing players can do is try to break out of that box by making non-sex jokes, but with the game being much more narrow in subject matter that makes it a lot harder.
It comes down to whether you can have fun within the parameters of the game or if you have to ignore them. And it's hard to talk about without thinking about how much they could've done with this same general premise
Talking Points is usually the Jackbox Game that I'm most excited to play, but the amount of pressure to effectively improvise short solo comedy routines often keeps my group from choosing it. "Talking Points but it's a debate between two players (or more) instead of a single player being thrust alone into the spotlight" feels like it should have been foolproof; how'd we get Let Me Finish instead?
Your virginity is definitely the worst thing to sell door to door. You can only make a single sale of that and then you have nothing to sell anymore. If you sell the good good you presumably have enough for multiple buyers
I might be a stick in the mud, but I'm a college student and I despise Let Me Finish. I thought it was funny for the first couple rounds, and then the humor was completely lost on me. I played it with my irl friend group that I play most of my irl Jackbox games with, and it only took them about 3 or 4 questions to start wanting to play something else. In short, I feel like Let Me Finish was exclusively for people who are either half asleep or on something, because I couldn't imagine myself laughing at any of the prompts at my most delirious.
0:53 seeing my steam comment was a pleasant surprise to say the least.
I was really curious if you were gonna do a video on this XD
I'm actually surprised you did knowing how uh... spicy the game is
Also nice to see a new video! You are THE channel for me to who uploads exactly in the right time every time and idk how that happens but thank god it's now
Dude, the first thing I thought of when this game was announced was:
Wait, what will Silokhawk say to his younger family members when this game is for 18+
Because I am pretty sure he plays the new jackbox with his family every year
Our GOAT is back. I'm glad your still making content, Silok. Even if this pack is, less-than-stellar to say the least.
Great video! I agree with your takes on basically all the games, but I wanted to explain why I think the fact Fakin It ANL doesn’t tell you you’re the faker during the final round is a good change I actually like.
In the OG Fakin it, the main difference between the main rounds and the final round is that the faker actually gets a prompt to work with in the final round, the problem that then comes with the faker knowing they’re the faker, is that since they’re expected to answer their prompt truthfully, and they know their prompt is going to be different, there’s nothing stopping them from just flat out lying. (I.E, if the faker got “name your favorite vegetable” they know they’re the faker so what’s to stop them from putting “apple” and completely blending in). I think Fakin It ANL not telling you you’re the faker until after you answer the prompts is really smart because it eliminates the possibility of someone lying about their prompts bc they know they’re different. Because to your knowledge you are much more likely to not be the faker, and by lying in your prompt you are then putting suspicion on yourself for no reason and selling the game for your teammates.
I understand you could also argue “just don’t cheat then” and yeah that’s valid, but Fakin It has always been one of the more competitive jackbox games to me, and I actually HAVE had somebody do the exact thing I described in a Fakin It game before (we all gave them shit for it) so at the very least I just think it’s a very neat way to eliminate a loophole in the gameplay.
I feel like this pack would've been successful if they allowed themselves to be edgy with it and you can just censor which things you don't want. But also just putting in variety. Like I saw in the Drawful one of your friends put "Jeffrey Epstein" for big nose pervert, and Jeffrey was a funnier answer.
In reality, I think a naughty extension/expansion would've been nicer. Like they update some base games by adding dirtier prompts then selling that for $0.99 per game or something, but then that would prove that they can update Party Packs instead of making a new one every year so yeah that will never happen.
I've only played this pack once so far, we played a single game of Let Me Finish and were so drained by the game by the 2nd prompt that we just... wrapped the game up early because no one wanted to continue.
We then were gonna play Dirty Drawful until someone pointed out that it was just gonna be Drawful but you're asked to draw a penis, so we instead played Drawful 2.
We did not play Fakin It All Night Long, entirely because everyone in the call didn't really know each other that well, and the game could've asked a question where the answer wasn't something that people were willing to divulge with a call full of mostly strangers.
Overall, God I hope we get a normal party pack after this one.
I think responding in an extremely sterile way to prompts might be slightly funny
The lack of the patreon read hit me hard. A new era of silok begins, Amanda Guth-less
I really hope this fakin it Sequel gets a change and is added to a future family friendly pack. I have been wanting a sequel for years and I hope it's not just relagated to this
I’m glad to see a new jackbox video from you, great review!
"freaky jackbox doesn't exist, it can't hurt you"
freaky jackbox:
It's Not Called The "Jackoffbox Party Pack"
Why?
This game feels like it has the exact same issue as cards against humanity. It might be funny for a few minutes but at the end of the day being able to take something not inherently "Dark" or "naughty " and then use tools to make it funny. Apples to Apples will always be funnier then Cards for this exact reason.
10:04 Not gonna lie, this prompt made me burst out laughing even though it is throwing serious shade at me.
Great review! Gotta say, hearing an uncensored 'fuck' from your mouth was maybe the most jarring thing I've heard in a while lol
Can we mod the prompts for fakin it? Lol just put the old prompts back in and we might be better off
I've heard alot of people say that they plan on working on it but haven't seen any concrete plans for it
He’s back with another vid! Yay! (Also let’s hope this doesn’t get age restricted.)
My personal opinions on the Naughty Pack:
Fakin' It All Night Long is a 7/10. Aesthetically and mechanically it's great. Good music, good visuals, improved gameplay that allows remote play for streamed games. The biggest downside for me are the prompts, which are about 70-80% safehorny and then some drug related stuff. If it had an option to use normal prompts instead of adult prompts, it'd shoot up to 9/10, or maybe even 10/10. As it is it's still enjoyable, but almost everyone I've played with pretty much exclusively picks Emojinal Damage and only rarely branches out to other categories, which is usually You Gotta Point.
Dirty Drawful is a 4/10. The better drawing tools are fine. The prompts are... about what you'd expect from a Custom Episode made by horny teenage boys, which you could theoretically load up on any Drawful. What REALLY tanks Dirty Drawful's score is the emoji spam. Which 1 single player can do over the ENTIRE game to spam obnoxious sound effects and emojis which block part of the drawing and responses on screen. You can't turn it off. You can't see who's doing it to kick them from your game. You just have to endure the scream sfx and the barf sfx FOR TWENTY MINUTES. Without Emojis, it'd be like a 6 or 7 as well, decent but if you have Animate or Drawful 2 there's no real reason to play DD since if you enjoy those prompts you could play custom episodes.
Let Me Finish is a 0/10. It's half an hour of everyone drawing genitalia on inanimate objects. It's like they took the (lack of) structure from Fixytext and applied it to the drawing aspects of Patently Stupid or Civic Doodle, while simultaneously having the worst prompts imaginable, that are trying more to shock you with how edgy they are then provide a SETUP for YOU, THE PERSON PLAYING to be able to respond to IN A FUNNY OR MEANINGFUL WAY.
Overall I give Naughty Pack a 2.2/10, or a 1.1 out of 5. And I get this from adding up the scores from all 3 games, then dividing by 5 to find the average score of the games. Because EVERY Jackbox Pack has had 5 games until now, so it's only fair to judge the Naughty Pack with the same criteria.
I'm REALLY hoping they take the code for Fakin' It All Night Long and use it to put a regular Fakin' It 2 into Pack 11 because it has fantastic potential, and I don't want to have to hope that the Jackbox modders can get All Night Long into a "normal Jackbox game" state.
Eh, the pack is also cheaper than the 5 game ones so i dunno that the extra division was neccesary, but honestly even on it's own merits this is like a 3/10 lol
I see the naughty pack as a "how do you do fellow kids" moment, where the devs saw everyone making jokes about drugs and sex and thought we wanted games that force them down your throat
25:56 I agree
Basically any game could technically be fun with the right friendgroup. But at that point it's only fun because of the people you're with, not because of the game
It was smart to capitalize on making a pack catered to mature humor and more explicit adult content. The over reliance on sex jokes makes it just feel barren and lacking in content for what it could be. Having rare out of pocket prompts made the original games more exciting; and even the mediocre prompts could be fun with a creative group. I’ve seen enough to say I won’t be buying this one :(
Man, it makes me really upset Fakin' It got a brand new sequel, in the pack that's nothing but sex jokes. Like sex jokes can be funny, but from what was shown, these are painfully unfunny and uninteresting. And it just makes me truely upset we still don't have a legitimate Fakin' It sequel after all these years.
a finger on the monkey's paw curled 😔
@@squeakboy3666 eeeexactly
ironically let me finish was the first game me and my friends have played together and not even finished
"Let Me Finish" sounds like an awful time. Those prompts are not funny at all. "Which one of these pens has never cleaned their fleshlight?" I don't know!!! They're just pens!! How am I supposed to choose one over the other?
42:37 That's actually how I play in person most times: grabbing my laptop and an hdmi to hook up to the TV, and navigating menus with a wired controller
11:41 "raise your hand if you get the whole milf obsession"
10:05 Jimmy from mouthwashing: *sweats profusely*
I have a reason on why not to jump in in let me finish. For each player that jumps in, the more points get into the jump in pool. If you think your idea has no chance of getting a vote because it is so bad, you can choose not to jump in to avoid giving the other players more points. (Even then though, points received for jump ins are so minor)
I guess at that point I'd ask:
If you don't think your jokes funny enough to be voted on, then why are you even playing the game?
In a game about putting yourself out there; If a player has insecurities about themslef not being funny, then odds are they were never going to enjoy the game to begin with.
Me and my friends are college freshmen, all of us 18-19(the age range you said this would probably be best for)and even we don’t like let me finish
as much as i like fakin' it making a return here (and with some better features as well), there could've been some better choices for m rated sequels, like monster seeking monster and survive the internet.
24:50 this is funnier than anything i saw while playing this game
This is making me really hope they add the remote play option to the original fakin it in an update or something.
This game is the personification of someone forcibly telling a joke. What made horny jokes funny is that it's used sparingly, making it almost a surprise for the other participants. When the game is nothing but horny, it gets stale real quick. The only good thing about this pack was the presentation. I'd throw a couple dollar bills for Stripper Drawful Owl
Frankly, I think the only way I'd buy this pack is if Fakin' It had the ability to bring the old prompts back or get custom prompts. But by that point, you're already seeing that the Naughty Pack is ruined by its own foundation.
This honestly went under my radar, and now that I’m thinking about it…
Why…? Why does this exist?
Feel like what makes Jackbox fun is what you put into it, so the game making all of the horny sex jokes for you is… less fun.
One time I was playing the Fakin' It game on Twitch, and the prompt was "Raise your hand if you're horny, hungry or both." I was the faker and the only one with my hand down, so I got sussed out. So yeah, it's definitely possible to be suspicious with your hand down, but most of the time it's not.
Why wasn't Monster Seeking Monster in this pack?
Fakin' It All Night Long seems really really fun, but some of those questions are definitely waaaaaaaaay too crazy, I'm a very open person but even I wouldn't admit to some of those
Without the prompts, let me finish is a normal game
9:21 I have my own example from one of the games we played. When I was the faker and it said "pick an emoji of a vehicle" because the overall theme was "Sex stuff" it was very easy to intuit that the original prompt would have something to do with having sex in a vehicle.
another banger from the wii tanks guy
24:20 ironically this was the only prompt u showed from let me finish that made me laugh
31:15, that's a printing press, not a chair
I think the people who enjoy let me finish are the people who enjoy cards against humanity
I am really, really hoping they bring back Fakin It in the next installment. The upgrades they've done are so great, just the questions suck. But I am afraid this is gonna be our final Fakin It 😓
Also, kinda glad they didn't do a saucey Monster Dating Monster. I feel like if you don't have a chill group of friends or a chill partner, things could get bad
My Jackbox group played Let Me Finish one time. It was so bad we didn't even bother letting it finish.
I’m going to be honest I have a sneaking suspicion that faking it 2 was supposed to be in party pack 11. Then after they cancelled 11 for this year they said, “aw what the hell, let’s just throw it in the naughty pack we already worked on it”
19:04 it is possible to create a custom prompt pack and share it with a code. There is a steam discussion were people shared their packs
This game's target audience was kids that don't have parental controls and think anything to do with the word "Sex" is funny
Welcome back hope you're doing good Silokhawk great review 😊
The Return!!! Video idea: The best Jackbox game in every category(e.g. trivia, writing)
feel like i was hit by a stray bullet when the guy did his little diatribe on incest jokes being the devil or something
ok we get it you're an only child ya don't need to rub it in
@@silokhawk it's so scary to reply to this comment saying i'm not, my friends have just desensitized me. sorry to have bothered you mr. silohawk jackbox
The name "Jackbox" already sounded like a porn, so I guess they are finally accepting their destiny.
