About

Karl Jacobs is an American creator whose work includes MrBeast videos, Minecraft roleplay and comics. He studied video editing before leaving college for a job editing videos for MrBeast's brother, MrBro. Jacobs later joined MrBeast's on-screen cast while continuing to make his own videos.[1][2] He also uses karlnetwork for relaxed streams with chat.[3][4][5]

Tales from the SMP

He met Dream while filling in for another participant in a MrBeast Gaming video, which led to an invitation to Dream's Minecraft server. In December 2020, he began Tales from the SMP, an anthology following a fictional time traveller through different settings on that server.[1][2]

The series inspired Dark Horse Comics' Time Traveler Tales, whose first issue was released on December 6, 2023. Written by Dave Scheidt and illustrated by Kelly and Nichole Matthews, it follows Oliver as he is thrown through time; his first adventure takes place in the Wild West.[6] A collection of all five issues followed on August 13, 2024.[7]

Banter

Jacobs also co-hosted Banter with Sapnap and GeorgeNotFound. The podcast featured conversations with other creators, including Glaive in May 2023 and AustinShow in June.[8]
