Jake Paul: Everything You Didn’t Know About His Sh*tty Past
In our 46th episode of This F*cking Guy, Erin Ryan and Nina Parker break down the ball-tasering, clout-chasing manchild, Jake Paul. From his Vine and YouTube “prank” beginnings, to running a content sweatshop called Team 10, to scamming children via crypto pump-and-dumps and sham online “universities,” to gentrifying Puerto Rico and cozying up to Trump, to finally getting his jaw broken in two places by Anthony Joshua…this may just be our most exhaustingly f*ckboy yet!

So many boys back then thought the Logan Paul haircut was a solid choice.

It's sickening how much stupidity pays in the social media age. I can't believe how many people willingly give idiots on the internet money to be the worst forms of humanity.

If you have to educate people on who Jake Paul is in 2026 then you’ve already lost. This video is like 4-5 years too late. VERY Democrat-coded but it tracks. Why next you’ll be telling us that DJT Jr. is a bad guy too! Shocking! The wheels must grind REAL slow at Crooked.

That apology video is so rehearsed and so clearly written by an attourney to "touch on all relevant points".

If you thought Logan Paul's trip to Japan made Americans look bad, you should see Johnny Somali.
Who, BTW, would make a great TFG video.

That whole Crypto section just sounded like the Peanuts teacher talking to me. I can't seem to wrap my head around how that stuff works and makes people (the scammers) gobs of money. And I think that's probably why more people aren't all up in arms about things like Trump's Crypto grifts- it feels impossible to understand how they're making real money with these things.
