''Jake and Amir'' is an American comedy web series created by and starring former CollegeHumor writers Jake Hurwitz and Amir Blumenfeld, originally set in New York and later Los Angeles. The two played humorous versions of themselves: Jake is usually depicted as a sensible "regular guy", and Amir as his annoying, obsessive and odd co-worker. The pair are seen acting as a comic double act. The series began on May 23, 2007, and new videos were posted every Tuesday to CollegeHumor's website and the series' Tumblr blog. The series won a Webby Award in 2010. On December 18, 2013, it was announced that the web series would be adapted into a TV series, to air on TBS and be executive-produced by Ed Helms, Hurwitz, Blumenfeld, and several others. On January 27, 2015, CollegeHumor announced that the series would air its last 8 episodes beginning on February 17, 2015. A social media campaign titled (#GreenLightJakeandAmir ) was launched the next day, with the aim of convincing TBS to allow for the series pilot to be filmed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Greenlight Jake and Amir )〕 The final episode was posted on April 7, 2015. ==History== ''Jake and Amir'' is one of CollegeHumor's longest-running series. The series began with Hurwitz and Blumenfeld making short comedic videos on their own; though both of them were CollegeHumor employees, the videos were just a hobby, posted on Vimeo. As they grew more popular, CollegeHumor began incorporating them into its website as an original feature, collaborating with the pair to create further episodes. Jake explains that ''Jake and Amir'' was never intended to be a series, "We actually had no idea we were creating a series at the time we were doing it. I just thought Amir was so funny, and I had this crappy camera. We just made these videos and our friends started passing them around. It kind of grew from there." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jake and Amir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
