{{quote|''"Jake and Amir are two best friends that work together, live together, and play together. We're not really best friends, so don't type that. Yes we are. No we aren't, and we also don't live together. Whatever. Not whatever. Dinner tonight? Nope."''|Description from the official website.}}
Jake and Amir is a highly popular internet series of short videos by College Humor. Like [[Hardly Working]], they are filmed in and around the College Humor office and revolve around Jake Hurwitz, a ''usually'' normal guy, and his co-worker, Amir Blumenfeld, an unstable, unbalanced and generally ''weird'' [[Man Child]] who is obsessed with Jake and determined to prove that they're "best friends".
The complete episode archive can be found at http://www.jakeandamir.com/archive or the College Humor website.
Line 20:
** There's also Jake's long-standing crush on Sarah.
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents]]: Amir thinks his mother is this because she wants to bring cookies up for him and his coworkers.

* [[Amusing Injuries]]: Happens often, the most recurring is when either of them accidentally hit their head on their desks.
* [[An Odd Place to Sleep]]: Amir has been seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDKnEkKGny0&feature=relmfu sleeping] at his [http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/4810016385/fedora desk], on the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnkGJZqmdw0 floor], and curled up on a [http://vimeo.com/855920 stone table].
Line 29:
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Amir speaks [http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/194305309/hebrew Hebrew] in a [http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6573302/jake-and-amir-translator few] episodes.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47JZow5QyZM Trouble] has Cantonese
** [http://vimeo.com/844664 Ach Mein Got] has German
* [[Book Ends]]: The [http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6232700/jake-and-amir-girlfriend first] and [http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6264649/jake-and-amir-girlfriend-part-8-funeral last] episode of the "Girlfriend" arc.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: From [http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/66451803/happy-holidays "Happy Holidays"]. Amir: Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah from Jake and Amir! Jake: Who're you talking to? Amir: Nobody...
Line 44:
* [[Cringe Comedy]]: Especially in the earlier episodes.
* [[Daydream Surprise]]: [http://vimeo.com/431325 My Boy]. Also an example of [[Face Doodling]].

* [[Did You Just Have Sex?]]:
{{quote|'''Jake (to Leronuh)''': Did you just take a shower?
[Amir appears]
Line 59:
* [[Eye Scream]]: Happens in [http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/32571888/lasik Lasik].

* [[Fear of Thunder]]: See [http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/155769085/storm Storm]
* [[Flanderization]]: Amir's weirdness, ability to do physically impossible things, and extent of his [[Karma Houdini]] abilities have generally increased over the series. Possibly inverted with Jake, whose simple [[Straight Man]] routine was expanded on; he wants to seem cool and hip, but it often leads him to acting like a [[Jerkass]] or just being intensely unfunny.
* [[Forgotten Birthday]]: Subverted and then played straight in [http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/24576747/amirs-birthday Amir's Birthday] and [http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6698708/jake-and-amir-jacuzzi Jacuzzi].

* [[Implausible Deniability]]: In [http://www.collegehumor.com/video/3811415/jake-and-amir-fourth-of-july Fourth of July] Amir denies being in the office that weekend, but everything is [[Caught on Tape]].
Line 84:
* [[Instant Sedation]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBhj20nbvps Sleeping Pills].
* [[Jerkass]]: Jake is arguably becoming one of these. His behavior towards Amir is typically justifiably harsh, but there are plenty of times where he acts like a completely self-centered jackass who'll exploit Amir or grandstand around others, as well as sometimes disagreeing with or mocking Amir for the sake of it (or in spite of actually being the wrong one).
* [[Juggling Loaded Guns]]: Seen in [http://www.collegehumor.com/video/5885884/jake-and-amir-moving-part-2 Moving Part 2] and [http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/2598010808/ransom Ransom]
* [[Left the Background Music On]]: Murph lampshades this in [http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/7120509723/grandma Grandma].
* [[Love Triangle]] - In the Jake and Amir: Girlfriend series, there was a Type 4 as Jake fell in love with Lerona, who was dating Amir. {{spoiler|Eventually the roles of Jake and Amir switch after Jake confesses to Lerona and she chooses him over Amir.}}{{spoiler|...and then gets promptly run over by a bus.}}
Line 104:
* [[Potty Failure]]: [http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/684192429/world-cup World Cup]

* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: In Ace and Jocelyn episode 4 Jake Hurwitz was actually throwing up due to being hung over from the night before.
** See the [http://jakehurwitz.tumblr.com/post/34447887/lho-jakeandamir-ace-and-jocelyn-episode-4 clip], and its [http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=14307969964 outtakes here].
