The address on the Mail-in Rebate is an actual address in New York. Specifically, it's the apartment where Jerry lived in the show Seinfeld.
@JREG
Great video JJ did you enjoy playing it? Playing the video game? You know, the game that this video is about? Did you like playing it?
@chessedgamon
Holy hell if it's reached JJ Balatro really has taken off
@WaldoHandFord
I love how Jreg has become the youth correspondent for this channel like how Pete Davidson was on SNL years ago.
@Rauncy
Balatro contains the most pertinent americanacore aspect, addiction
@martins.4423
Some cool details JJ missed: The hanging chad joker causes the first card played to be scored again (i.e. recounted) twice. The trading card joker removes a card and gives you cash, similarly to how one might sell cards from a booster pack at a card shop. The mail-in rebate gives you money for discarding (i.e. returning) certain cards. The baseball card rewards you for holding many uncommon and thus valuable jokers. The driver's license requires at least 16 enhanced cards for its effect, referencing a common minimum age for obtain a real one.

Part of the fun is knowing the Joker references and how they tie into the mechanics of the game. Like how Gros Michel is a species of banana that was susceptible to a fungus that made the species unsustainable and growers switched to the Cavendish. Which is why there's a 1 in 6 chance Gros Michel goes extinct and why it's the only way you can find a Cavendish later, which has a better effect and a lower chance of going extinct.

I love how it’s incredibly obvious that JJ has never played balatro

4:03 "No, you would say that." I sprayed tea on my screen.
@Gazpacho8
I wish I could watch JJ/s new video but I don't want to pay the 25% tariff.
@TheLazyEconomist
Oh. So that's why you were asking JREG about Balagago.
@manusbyrne8972
This video feels like clicking every hperlink in a Wikipedia article
@justsomebusiness
Fun fact, the name "Balatro" is Latin for a professional jester (or clown/buffoon) back in Roman times, so is actually fitting with the "joker" theme of the game and not a random word that sounds cool like I thought initially.
@highflyer54321
14:33 The name of Card Sharp may also be a reference to card sharks, who pretend to be bad at the game in order to lure other players into playing for money or betting higher than they otherwise would, thinking they are playing against a novice. The shark would then reveal their true skill and win the higher bet. This is referenced in the Card Sharp’s ability of only giving its 3x bonus on the second time a certain hand has been played that round, as typically the shark wouldn’t reveal their true abilities until the second game.
@gerarddip
13:39 I mean, you really didn’t have to say “British man” when you were just going to show the most british man I’ve ever seen in my life.
@StarkMaximum
"Would you say it's a love letter to American card culture?" "No. You would say that. So I explicitly would not say that." Damn, he IS a zoomer.
@hlibushok
They were beating your ass on Twitter for asking Jreg about "Bagalago" without actually playing it.
@ConfusedSean
A fun little fact that I'm not sure if you know... Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic, is the Great-Great Grandson of James Garfield.
