In 2008, he was featured throughout the video for "Touch My Body" by Mariah Carey. McBrayer also appears in the first episode in the fifth season of *Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!* as a spokesman in a spoof advertisement for the fictional "Diarrhea-phragm."[6] He worked as a voice actor in the American animated series *Ugly Americans*[7] and appeared in the 2010 film *Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore* with a recurring role on the second season of *Phineas and Ferb*, playing the part of Irving, a fan of Phineas and Ferb. He also regularly appears in the skit "Knock Knock Joke of the Day" on the hit children's television show, *Yo Gabba Gabba!* since season 2[8] and starred in Craig McCracken's TV show *Wander Over Yonder* on the Disney Channel and Disney XD.

In the fall of 2012, Jack lent his voice to the Disney animated film *Wreck-It Ralph*, playing the title character's close friend and video game opponent Fix-It Felix, Jr. More recently, he has starred alongside Los Angeles Clippers player Blake Griffin in Kia commercials, and in 2013 appeared in a commercial for Barnes & Noble.
