The top 10 worst flags in the world

In 2016 Jack and his friend Erik Hoffstad, the "Top 10 Boys", sat down to rank the ten worst flags on the planet. It takes about four minutes, and it is entirely tongue-in-cheek.

Fixing your flags

A few months later Jack went one step further: he asked his viewers to redesign American state flags, and reviewed the results in "Fixing Your Flags". Some of the fixes are clever, some are pure nonsense, most are very funny.
