John Patrick "Jack" Douglass (born June 30, 1988), also known by his YouTube username jacksfilms, is an American internet personality, musician and comedian on YouTube, known for his parodies of infomercials, skits, and the Your Grammar Sucks series. His series JackAsk involves him taking questions from viewers and answering them humorously. He began a series called Yesterday I Asked You (YIAY), which is based on a bit Douglass did in JackAsk, in which he asks his viewers questions and reads the best and funniest answers the following day.
Douglass has also starred on MyMusic as Intern 2, later known as Flowchart. He voiced the character Jimmy on Smosh's web series, 16-Bit High. Across four channels, as of February 2017, Douglass has uploaded 1,059 videos, attracted over 977 million video views, and has over 3.09 million subscribers.
Douglass was born in Columbia, Maryland on June 30, 1988, and is of Irish ancestry. He has two older sisters. Douglass went to elementary school and middle school in Maryland. During high school, he started to develop a love for music. He then began to play the French horn as well as the piano. In May 2006, during his senior year of high school, he was given the task of making a video about all the books he had read during the year. He and his friends decided to film a series of short sketches that made fun of books such as Beowulf and All the King's Men. After making these sketches, he decided that he wanted to make films to a greater extent. By the next month, he had begun using YouTube and had started to upload videos.
After graduating from Atholton High School, Douglass went to American University, where he majored in film and minored in music theory.
Douglass launched his main YouTube channel, Jacksfilms, on June 26, 2006, and he regularly uploads new videos to the channel. The first video he uploaded was a commercial for a device Douglass invented, called the Handy Pen, which featured his family members. He later uploaded his most popular video,The WTF Blanket (Snuggie Parody), on January 22, 2009. Many of Douglass' early videos were parodies, often about infomercials and Apple products.
