[EpicSuccuss]

at the end you look like my english teacher :)

[ilikefoodism]

LOL his hair! :P

[pbjellybeanful]

"I figure she'd want to call me back on account of she was pwned." Haha, love you John.

[Hyperactivexp]

Ah The days where the doobly do was a sidebar

[siriuslymessedup]

talk about the weirdest phone call ever! good thing i don't do math :P

[LoyalFreak4ever]

YES!!! John and I "Ahhhed" at the same time! Kitty win!!!!!

[sandstorm49]

Ok so i can draw a line from here to here! now you try.

[Nerdfightarial]

John has a lot of stains on his shirt...

[dannerzme]

@Nerdfightarial I was just about to comment on that, lol!

[JaylaCucu]

@MsGetacar

Vlogbrothers 612,679

Oprah 104,380

as of 15 December 2011

We are not forgetting to be awesome.

[smurphgirl131]

John, maybe you should start singing again. Just saying.

[TheChaoticFart]

Who would subscribe to Oprah?

[BigGoronSword2010]

Okay, new to the vlogbrothers. What was the dance he did? And what is a punishment?

[locolobos0035]

@BigGoronSword2010

When the boys don't follow the rules (making a video when they should, making a video too long, etc.) They had to be "punished" and the punishments were chosen by nerdfighers. And that dance is John's happy dance, which he does when he is happy!

[YayaGlamGirl1128]

Remember that time that I thought there was 100 seconds in a minute? Lol

[PichuandEevee]

As I am watching this video, at about 2:00 when John began to cheer, a pop up ad showed up and said "Congratulations, you've won"

[Taedran]

1:35 These are not the droids you're looking for.

[BreChristie]

oh side bars.

[the3sweetest3dreamer]

Did Oprah ever call back?

[AliceBoeBalice]

Okay, thanks. Maybe I'll just find a different word to use in it's stead :)

[heyitssully]

i love his happy dance

[darknight10000]

The sad part is who ever is answering the phones at Harpo is only going to think this "John Green" character is just some nut who's trying to annoy Oprah and she'll never know how amazingly awesome the Vlogbros. are. Which sucks because the Vlogbros. and Nerdfighteria are things Oprah could get behind easily.

[imgracegracegrace1]

I met Daniel Biss today! he came to my school and observed my math class. I asked him about John Green and we talked about an abundance of Katherines. It was very exciting.

[Iyellatrocks]

What does pwnd mean? ;)

[sarahnicole32]

@Iyellatrocks It's the internet version of "owned", as in "to beat someone". "Pwned" came about due to the letters O and P being so close on the keyboard that "owned" was often misspelled as "pwned"... and it just kinda stuck :)

[AliceBoeBalice]

@sarahnicole32 Is it pronounced the way that John says it? Because I say it like that, and my friends think that, because it was a typo, it is still pronounced 'owned', so now I don't know which way to say it.

[sarahnicole32]

@AliceBoeBalice I'm not entirely sure how it's meant to be pronounced - people help me out here! - but I personally would never pronounce it with the 'P' unless I was being ironic/sarcastic/making a joke. From what I've heard, the 'P' remains silent :)

[Plyrx08]

@sarahnicole32 I've also heard that this originated in Diablo, a game by Blizzard. Not sure about that, though.

[gladrial89]

And I just subscribed. :) Make that 571,314 gloweybear707!

[mootEp8pui8Vw2]

41k haha, a friend of myn has 50k.

[gloweybear707]

Now Vlogbrothers has 571,313 subscribers and Oprah has 95,904. EPIC WIN!

[kav996]

[potterlife1]

Omg you pwned Oprah. Now go kill obama. No literalyI think you can get away with it but if not i think you can vlog from jail.

[funnypets456]

by the way, you look fat in this video.

[funnypets456]

i love how he gets out of breath when he gets excited lol

[reader960000]

your pwnage dance xD

[AVPMismylife]

I passed Daniel Biss' office the other day. I was freaking out

[SamForrestTube]

@AVPMismylife I think you mean "I passed Vlogbrothers' resident mathematician Daniel Biss'office the other day. I was freaking out".

[WriterXxDreamerXx]

This is the saddest day of my life. The day I found out I was not subscribed to the VlogBrothers...

[MrRydude17]

WOOH!

TAKE THAT OPRAH!

[SuperCaptainG]

mt name is willy. this always makes john green videos interesting.

[beatle4life64]

most epic / awesome happy dance ever....:D

[JulesCoxie]

i don't like oprah very much. i find her a sensationalist... but that's just me.

[gotja]

they used to be so much higher now wtf?

[mark4851]

ive done the 100 seconds in a minute thing before aswell

[babyinblack]

[LIGHTRONIX]

[thatoneseason]

i love how with youtubes current format no matter which way he points he wont point to the sidebar due to the fact its under him.

[RonnieRons101]

You pwned on my birthday! Hurray!

[ilovemyhappydays]

I hit the subscribe button upon seeing this video. I've watched many of their videos previously, but this sold me! :D

[suppastar101]

those glasses are sooooo nerdy.

and awesome.

[mzPenguinPantz]

OPRAH CONSIDER YOURSELF PWNED TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE!!!!!!! XD

[blahblahblahblha303]

I need to make friends with a mathematician, just for moments like this.

[LLOYD19851012]

Mobile

[ThatDudeOnThatPlace]

This raises the question... When are John and Hank going to get their O.W.N. TV Network?

[dolphin64575]

Don't worry, I also thought there were 100 seconds per minute XD

[imACrAzYinsanePERSON]

he looks like a mad scientist!

[Ravenclaw797]

anyone else look at oprah's youtube now to see how much she has been pwned since?

[graybutcolorful]

oh, poor Daniel Biss, having John call him all the time...

[dolphin64575]

@graybutcolorful I disagree, Daniel must find his calls rather funny. 

[ollininvincible]

I watched this last year and I thought it was pretty amazing. lol

[dolphin64575]

my favourite part: EVEN WILLIE'S EXCITED!

[Windspirit21]

yes...riddle sunday, the day he answers real riddles from real nerdfighters.

as opposed to elddir Shyurdyukday, the day john answers fake riddles from fake nerdifighters

[crogger321]

@vlogbrothers we should try and make Nerdfighters a trend on twitter... that would be awesome!

[PatrickScaggs]

If I wasn't so used to watching vlogbrothers videos, the way John looks in the one would make me think he's crazy. Oh wait...

[36gregross]

The only other time I heard his haw thing was just before henry was born

[singlexfilexisxlove]

He's looks like a mad scientist in this one.

[372monkey]

and the puff level goes up

[DKzina]

Okay. With the glasses down at 3:10 I can see the resemblance between Hank and John.

[giftedangel6]

503,997 subscribers for vlogbrothers. And Oprah? Less than one-fifth: 91,296!

EPIC PWN.

[spocklivesforever]

I like his dance!

[iTurnedBlue]

puff levels havent been this high in far too long

[xbballx0xstarx]

Vlogbrothers just reached 500,000!

[MelinGrata]

@Vlogbrothers

John - The sound of your Pwnage Excitement and the sound of your anxiety is exactly the same. (:

[whitehousesvc729]

I remember a little over a year ago, Chuggaaconroy also pwnd Oprah.

You guys are fracking awesome.

[volkswagenminibus]

narphoopt: the noise a nerdfighter makes when they realize the vlogbrothers pwned Oprah

[Bobdylan1qaz]

add the 2 numbers of subscribers together, then add the amount of money all the subscribers combined have together, multiply that number by 1000, thats how much more money oprah has then everyone else.

[volkswagenminibus]

@Bobdylan1qaz Money can't buy subscribers.

[emyblueish]

puff levels are high today...

[FangFiftyFive]

1:54

heh, arts students...

[zzzzbel]

I love you john I do but that thing with the voice mail kinda seems like something some anti-nerd-totally-not-jokes person would say/do to a nerd. I fear the blow back from saying this but It seems to me that for a moment there as you were over taken by pwnage you forgot to be awesome.

[CoHOCD]

@zzzzbel I would agree if it were some poor nobody youtuber, but we're talking about Oprah Winfrey. I mean I doubt the voice mail even got all the way to her, but even if it did, I doubt it bothered her. Plus, it's kind of hard to pwn Oprah. When you do something that epic, a little bit of doucheyness is excused.

[anythingbreanna]

I wonder if Oprah ever called back.

[dolphin64575]

Even Willie's excited!

[ninjanerds98]

Happy dance! 2:00



[ComedyKing20934]

SUCK IT OPRAH!!

[MIML95]

Pfft... Oprah doesn't and will never have shit on the VlogBros :D

[Mythdude314]

What are the wet spots on your shirt?

[strongyang]

what happened?

[TursipielAlthins]

I vote to bring back Riddle Sundays! I love riddles :D

[alikidry]

I just pulled up this video from my recommended list because I hadn't seen it yet. John, you've aged extremely well. The Yeti picked a good one.

[bballmatt53]

Jeans and Polos

[nerdlurve]

his hair gets puffier and puffier :D

[wnlb53]

i almost broke my computer from trying to happydance with headphones plugged in

[karatesmofi]

Did Oprah ever call back?

[UnderTheDark14]

I think Daniel may be my favorite.

[EbonyShadow07]

Just found Paper Towns at our local library. I laughed when I saw your picture on the back, John: Never have I seen such an authorly smile on your face.

[aloula97]

YOU PWNED OPRAH!

that guy on the phone must be like "what the heck is John talking about now?"

[MeLaneyDay]

You just got Edgar Allen PWNED! LOL

[GirlWhoLikes2Comment]

@MeLaneyDay Why is that funny? ^_^

[MeLaneyDay]

@GirlWhoLikes2Comment Its from another one of there vidoes and they just pwned oprah... so yeah

[GirlWhoLikes2Comment]

@MeLaneyDay Oh, I know that~ ^^ I'm just saying it's so (fill in praising word here) that it's funny. I know why it's funny, but I was wondering why it was humorous to me~

[Trystaticus]

Now that I have Daniel Biss's phone #

[ayuan227]

what is that on his shirt? it looks kinda like he drooled on himself=]

[heyrimmy]

I just read the appendix to "An Abundance of Katherines" and while I was reading it I kept thinking "How did John write this without calling Daniel Biss Every 2 Seconds?" and then I read the end part where it said it was written by Daniel Biss.

[123longlive]

@heyrimmy lmao, i had the SAME experience. so did my sister.

[rarefiednight]

JOYPUFF! ;D

[OriginalBitt]

I would just like to say that you need to go on a book tour again, my friend.

[Nyanasama]

happy dance!!!

[nirodast1]

Wow I remember the side bar, lol

[oneorangespider]

Now the vlogbrothers have 418,439 subscribers and Oprah has 84,409.

Now I am not a mathematician, but I believe that constitutes as EPIC pwnage.

[alietea]

@oneorangespider someone should call Daniel Biss about that. Just to double check.

[wanderingbloodlust12]

@oneorangespider dude, that goes beyond EPIC.

[leaguesmanoframsgate]

@oneorangespider I am a physicist, which is almost a mathematician. Yes it is.

[megannancy23]

@oneorangespider What I want to know is..why don't the Vlogbrother have MORE than that? XD

[HelterSlelter13]

John, you are allowed to tell your brother that you love him, it's okay. The Nerdfighters will not think any less of you. We all love our siblings too. Don't hold yourself back :)

[g2theIrishPianist]

... Did Oprah's people ever get back to your people re: this pwning?

[vulcanusii]

The 2:45 puff is just ... OMG. It made me puffy :P

[AllieYourAlly]

3:24 THAT'S WHAT (S)HE SAID.

[IonaIsEpic]

what does pwning mean? and what does n00bs mean?

[Footpadification]

@IonaIsEpic pwning means beating someone at something, n00b means newbie

but has come to be used as an insult for someone who dosent accept that s/he is bad at something

[shoshanish]

@IonaIsEpic youtubes being dumbs so i have to break it up:

dude, you're either a noob or you just suck.

noob means annoying new person, newb means the same without the annoying, maybe even freindly.

[shoshanish]

@IonaIsEpic pwn'd is short for pawned, it mean you beat them, or routed them or got ahead, its an INTERNET thing.

just like having being an buttmunch is a jersey thing XD (i just watched the new jersey south park episode on south park studios.com) (if you want to go remove the spaces)

[IIBlastoiseII]

Vlogbrothers > Oprah

[cibomatto47]

How has Daniel managed to put up with you over the years? LOL you're blessed to have such a good friend!

[jacruce]

You Pwned Oprah.

Your Power Level Is Over 9000!!!!!

[BroadwayFanatic2008]

NERDFIGHTARIA PWNS! <3

[ManTheBush]

He should have asked if the diffrence between 410818 and 410365 = PWNAGE

[laurenelizabeth859]

Whatever happened to B2.0 Resident Mathematician Daniel Biss?

[backwardsbrilliance]

messy shirt

[ajira815]

"...Yes."

[horseeegurl87]

miss the nerd classes fsho

[nicoleeeetozier]

BEST WISHES<3

[nattielove2]

Aw, Henry's room :D

[masterohumans]

I like how you freaked out and didn't even tell him why you called. I imagine he's use to your shit now and just hung up though. Congrats on the pwnage.

[eliz108]

I miss the nerd glasses.

[JackLeft13]

I love that... "or more likely link in the sidebar-I still can't do it!". What about now?

[JakeTannery]

The little theme on these is my favorite theme you've ever done.

[ilovejonas9722]

and now they have 300,000! crazy

[shashashare]

1:51 "1... 2... 3... and Daniel has to change his number" LOL

[warpedmonki]

omega pwnification on oprah! congratulations nerdfighter

[JessieLightyear]

Daniel's got to look at his phone and be like "Oh no, what is he asking about now?"

[strangegirl32498]

"I almost said I love you but then I held myself back." LOL! DFTBA

Consider Oprah pwned!

[jsbrink21]

Do you think John ever got some kind of call from Oprah or her company?

[The64v]

<3 puff levels

[maoxiaoling]

[Helenasdf]

Your puff levels are over 9000!

[ReadMyCommentBitch]

[mrbeastman16]

OPERA JUST GOT PWNED

[kitkatgrl49279]

@mrbeastman16 *Oprah

[mrbeastman16]

@kitkatgrl49279 oh cuz i care

[samyemma78]

major pwnage

[FreedomMinded]

John Green.....I like you. Keep it up!

[Snarkozard]

YAY! You made it. Almost there. This one might be a stretch Figure out the number of seconds he thought were in a minute, then find the video by the cute British kid that somehow (so, not directly) contains that.
