No, this is not a video of the YDKJ TV show that aired on ABC in 2001. It’s the YDKJ PC game with trivia all about TV shows! Fans of host Josh "Schmitty" Schmitstinstein will love this walk down boob-tube memory lane. If you thought all those hours of watching TV were good for nothing, then YOU DON’T KNOW JACK… Television!

Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 28 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Beware that this game (as well as YDKJ Movies) is VERY much dated. I might have to have my mother play this with me next time since she's a total 70's/80's TV buff.
The television trivia is now extremely dated, of course, but the YDKJ fun is still there, and many questions pertain to classic television shows that even a modern audience at least has a chance of being familiar with via reruns and everything even if they are not major classic TV fans. The really tricky thing is when they bring in what even in the 90s would be considered obscure questions about little-known shows. But, regardless, even if you're just left randomly guessing answers to absurd questions, if you're a YDKJ fan, you'll still have a lot of fun. This is another one that I can't wait to try in multiplayer. I haven't had the chance yet, but it seems like it'd be a good opportunity for family fun, though I have a feeling my mom would win every time.

I suck balls at this game but I like it anyway because Schmitty is my favorite host and he's pretty funny in this game tbh (even if honestly in this game Schmitty is at his meanest. Like he can and will bully you if possible. Also his anger issues are PEAKED in this one so if you wanna watch Schmitty lose his mind then go ahead) I don't play this one too much because I suck at it so bad but Schmitty debuted (AS A HOST not a character. He was actually a background character in YDKJ Volume 2!) in this game and I love him very much and I will play it purely because I like him sometimes Uh anyway if you like really old TV trivia then you'll probably like this one. However if you are me who is over a decade younger than this game you will probably suck balls at it but if you're more into YDKJ for the hosts and writing you might like it (especially if you're me who likes Schmitty a lot)
[h1][b] Reseña de YOU DON'T KNOW JACK TELEVISION[/b][/h1] [h2]Resumen del Juego[/h2] YOU DON'T KNOW JACK TELEVISION es ese tipo de juego Casual e Indie que se disfraza de “estrategia” porque… bueno, elegir respuestas bajo presión y leer trampas con mala leche cuenta como pensar, ¿no? Es un juego de preguntas con comedia ácida, diseñado para que te rías, te equivoques, y luego culpes al juego por “ser injusto” (cuando en realidad tú fallaste por confiar en tu cerebro). La primera impresión es clara: esto no viene a contarte una epopeya ni a presumir logros (literalmente no tiene). Viene a humillarte con estilo, a ritmo de programa de TV, y a recordarte que el conocimiento general es un mito urbano. En solitario funciona como entrenamiento para tolerar la vergüenza; en multijugador, como arma social para destruir amistades en 15 minutos. [h2][El “SÍ SABES” vs El “NO TAN JACK”][/h2] Lo Bueno: Humor de programa televisivo con mala intención: te pega y te pide que te rías Estrategia “light”: no es ajedrez, pero sí hay que leer entre líneas y anticipar trampas Ideal para sesiones casuales: entra rápido, sale rápido, te deja picado Multijugador y vibra de juego de fiesta: perfecto para el caos social controlado Lo No Tan Bueno: Cero logros: Steam no te va a validar ni aunque supliques Comunidad actual: 1 jugador… o sea, tú y el eco de tu dignidad Recomendaciones totales: N/A, porque aparentemente la humanidad aún no se decide (o no lo encontró) Si no conectas con su humor, se vuelve “examen sorpresa” con risas enlatadas (y tú de payaso) [h2]Tabla de Evaluación[/h2] [table] [tr][th]Aspecto[/th][th]Puntuación (0-10)[/th][th]Comentario[/th][/tr] [tr][td]Jugabilidad[/td][td]7[/td][td]Directa, ágil y con ritmo de concurso: funciona sin rogar.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Dificultad / IA[/td][td]6[/td][td]La “IA” es el guion burlándose de ti; suficiente para picarte.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Contenido[/td][td]6[/td][td]Cumple para partidas casuales, pero no esperes una enciclopedia infinita.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Gráficos / Video[/td][td]6[/td][td]Presentación tipo TV: cumple, no deslumbra.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Historia[/td][td]5[/td][td]No es narrativa: es un pretexto para dispararte preguntas.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Ambientación[/td][td]7[/td][td]Se siente como show televisivo con sarcasmo institucionalizado.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Efectos (VFX)[/td][td]5[/td][td]Funcionales; están para acompañar, no para presumir.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Música[/td][td]6[/td][td]Acompaña el tono; no la vas a poner en tu playlist, pero suma.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Voces[/td][td]7[/td][td]Parte del chiste y del ritmo: sin esto, pierde alma.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Diversidad[/td][td]5[/td][td]Variedad centrada en preguntas/humor; no destaca por amplitud.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Rendimiento[/td][td]7[/td][td]Ligero y estable: no debería darte guerra.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Rejugabilidad[/td][td]6[/td][td]Mejor con gente; solo se vuelve “una ronda más” hasta que te hartas.[/td][/tr] [tr][td][b]Total Puntuaciones (Bueno)[/b][/td][td][b]6.1[/b][/td][td]Un party quiz sólido con veneno cómico, pero sin extras modernos.[/td][/tr] [/table] [h2]Conclusión (Bueno)[/h2] YOU DON'T KNOW JACK TELEVISION es “bueno” en el sentido más honesto: hace lo que promete (preguntas + comedia + vibra televisiva) y lo hace con suficiente personalidad para que te rías mientras pierdes. Es un juego Casual e Indie que entiende su rol: ser un generador de momentos, no una experiencia “profunda” para escribir ensayos en Reddit. Pero también hay que decirlo sin anestesia: con 1 jugador activo y recomendaciones en N/A, esto se siente como entrar a un set de televisión abandonado donde el presentador sigue gritando chistes porque el contrato lo obliga. Si lo vas a jugar, que sea por el humor y por la dinámica social; si lo compras esperando “progresión” y validación de Steam, aquí solo encontrarás silencio y cero logros que te abracen. [h3]Recomendación de Compra (En descuento fuerte o para jugar en grupo)[/h3] Puntuación Total: 6.1/10 Número de jugadores activos al momento de hacer esta review: 1 Descuento máximo registrado: -72% Veredicto: [i]Recomendado con condiciones: brilla en multijugador, se enfría en solitario.[/i] Si tienes con quién jugar (o con quién pelear), adelante: es un buen juego de preguntas con humor filoso. Si lo quieres para jugar solo y sentirte acompañado por la comunidad… bueno, actualmente tu rival más constante será el botón de “Salir al escritorio”.
Do you love black and white television? Do you like 4 or 5 minutes of power point transitions between questions? Do you find Ryan Seacrest charming? Then this game is for you! It is not for me. It is awful. Please someone delete this game from existence.
毫无乐趣的系列智力答题游戏 非常丑的配色,约等于没有的UI 有几代还有文字bug,单引号显示乱码
A classic trivia game? Yes please. A classic trivia game full of classic TV trivia? Also yes please. A classic trivia game full of classic TV trivia peppered with clever jokes and wordplay (and the occasional fart gag)? Very yes please.
Josh "Schmitty" Schmitstinstein's first outing as host, and it's a good one. It you want to test your knowledge on classic TV trivia, you can't go wrong with YDKJ TV.
Date: 2/25/16 Review Number: 27 Game: You Don't Know JACK (group review, classics) From (Creator Publisher): Jackbox Games Played On: Steambox (controller/keyboard) Steam Price as of Review: $2.99 per game, $20.00 for all the classics Total Time played: So much time Review: Having at least eight different versions of You Don't Know Jack in my steam list, I had a feeling that these were going to come up sooner or later, and so rather than bore you with the possibility of multiple reviews of what is essentially the same game done over and over, I'll just compress this down to one review, though it's the Television version that gets the lucky posting. Now I have been a huge fan of trivia games for some time. Nearly every time I have deigned to grace others with my magical presence in a social situation has nearly always been in a bar that has trivia, and indeed my wife has an even greater breadth of trivia knowledge than I do. However, for the most part, I have found many trivia games, games that by their nature should be a social event, to be somewhat lacking on the PC and mobile devices. However, there is one specific series that has kept my attention for a large chunk of my portion as a breathing meatsack on this planet, and that is the You don't Know Jack series by the now named Jackbox Games. Now for the most part, trivia games have a very simple formula, you get asked questions, you answer them, and the fastest/most correct/best at distracting other players ends up winning. But what sets games apart in this genre is the social experience. are the questions amusing enough to keep a group entertained? Is the gameplay smooth enough to be somewhat transparent and intuitive? Are the questions easy enough to be generally answerable without insulting most player’s intelligence? If you can positively answer at least two of these questions you usually have a sellable game, however YDKJ has generally gotten all of them right. The questions are actual solid trivia type questions on par with even the more taxing game shows, yet they are framed in a almost slapstick environment that keeps players totally entertained. The multiplayer is seamless (particularly in the newer games from the party packs) and has been the source of many a shouting and cheering match at family gatherings. Even the voice acting is golden (though I prefer the newer announcer Cookie over Schmitty anyday), adding humor without drowning out the actual game itself. All in all, YDKJ is the type of game that you buy and play and play and play until the questions start repeating themselves, and if you are able to get to that point while having four players running the game every time, you probably know enough people to run for public office, so be sure to be graceful in victory. Or pay your opponents, whatever works in your political arena. Game’s Fate: Removed the old ones from the steambox, but I keep the new ones. Party games don't get any better than this. Buy/No Buy: Specifically on the classics? They’re awesome, but unless you are a trivia nut, save your money for the newer ones in the party packs. Now the new ones. Those are a buy
For pocket change you can have the host yell the same four lines at you about using the buzzer, which is amusing for about ten minutes. But unless you're pushing sixty or have an autistic level obsession with old head TV series, this isn't for you.
