Walkin On Stage: VidCon 2010

[spidermanandsnape]

I love how this video not only shows just how awesomely human you both are with your nervousness and swearing, etc, but it is also linked to my little pony

[Rulerofwax24]

Vidcon, the only convention where the speaker is more likely to have a video camera than someone in the audience.

[hitherefriendly]

VLOGBROTHERS, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY. JUST PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS. IT WOULD MAKE MY DAY. THANKS :D

[alwayzjello]

This isn't the vlogbrother's channel. Must you censor your personal channel as well?

[ChestertheBigRedDog]

"Lets go fucking do this thing"

-Badass Nerdfighting

[jjjjasmine]

awwww. how heartwarming.

[FullTonProductions]

why was no one sitting in the middle section?

[06stephend]

Is that... Mark Zuckerburg?

[indielovesunicorns]

I want to have been there. :-/

[jeremyshaw]

@RogueBlueJay Yes, of course I do. I ride them all the time, unfortunately. Most of them are pretty awful just like the subways

[OneHourPhotoo]

The ultimate Zuck look alike was backstage.

[TimeLadyDT]

"You looking at me isn't helping."

[Morphesque]

@LoganTheUltimate Don't be sorry! (: I was just letting you know. I use the word dude regardless of gender, anyways.

[invictusheart92]

I could have been one of those empty chairs.

[mushitsme]

@invictusheart92 i know how you feel, i always wanted to be a chair too... *le sigh*

[froggyhare46]

Yeah, whats up with the empty seats in the first row? Also, this makes me SO stoked for this upcoming vidcon.

[dob1997]

....aand WHY exactly where there empty seats? >:{

[tuxxedomask]

That must be such an amazing feeling. 

[ZachJamesFriend]

Noiiice everybody loves to see behind the scenes! What an amazing moment in vlogbrothers history!

[jeremyshaw]

Awesome/amazing behind-the-scenes footage, Hank! Thank you for sharing. You weren't kidding about freaking out. I only wish had been able to go.

Too bad about the tickets always selling out too fast and now VidCon 2012 is going to be in Anaheim instead of L.A. There's no way I'll be able to go to that due to transportation issues. A little discouraging/disappointing.

[RogueBlueJay]

@jeremyshaw Yeah. Culver City is a long way. Nobody should have to travel that far.

[jeremyshaw]

@RogueBlueJay And if you're not being rude or sarcastic then please accept my apologies for an honest and genuine misunderstanding.

[hprocks11]

<3

[BrandNewGen]

I was in the audience for that moment. :)

[theoriginalmat]

For some reason, this makes me incredibly happy. That moment before walking on to any kind of stage is just...fantastic.

[ourintertwiningstars]

This is really random, but this video is actually really helpful for my novel. I can't really explain why without ranting, but yeah, thanks for uploading this forty second clip. :)

[timothy22597]

539 likes, 0 dislikes. Aw yeah.

[rethinkOURreality]

"Let's go fucking do this thing." Haha, oh John.

Plus, WHY ARE THERE EMPTY SEATS IN THE AUDIENCE??? I don't understand...

[xxxLola]

ready? ready? you ready?

[TheJuansterMonster]

0:26 hank's nervous laugh >.< hehe

[bookworm1395]

was this the stressful moment where you two fought about looking at each other??

[Fundippsoyeah]

I remember where I was sitting, who I was sitting with, what we were talking about before you guys got on stage. Everything. The first vidcon I think the first vidcon will always have a special place in my heart that no proceeding vidcon I go to will fill.

[EmmaLouiseMarwood]

Oh so cool, did you guys feel like rock stars? Was it tottaly awesome? I would love to go but it would be way too expencive to fly from England I can't even afford to fly to Wales right now and that's on my doorstep...so to speak.

[bobthepurpleostrich]

304 views, 519 likes. wtf?

[pbjellybeanful]

That's amazing! I want to go to vidcon so badly!

[daniellesguess]

Hank almost never swears.

almost never

ALMOST

An entire video of swearing is proof that he does swear though.

[friend1010]

day 235 running low on doritos, no sign of @LoganTheUltimares comment.

[LoganTheUltimate]

@friend1010 ?? that user name is a lot like mine

[BarryAldridge]

Brilliant.

[RogueBlueJay]

Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh Wow.

This is so so cool.

Priceless footage.

[Celestion321]

Yay for John swearing! Boo for it being bleeped!

[awesomenerdfighter]

"no this is actually from woot" "ohohohohohohooh"

jesus hank you can almost hear the nausea in your voice.

[KiddsockTV]

So sad i missed it. i hope for 2012

[YouveBeenLaurified]

Ohhhh my goodness. I can't wait until next year!

[Ashley963123]

Lol, typical big brother moment

[SaeraLikesTea]

I hope I can make it to VidCon one day... I always seems just too exciting to be real :)

[SandraChannel]

That's awesome!

[TimelordPete]

u rockstars :D

[Morphesque]

Am I the only one who doesn't know or really mind what Mark Zuckerberg looks like?

[houseofel27]

@Morphesque I just assume he looks like Jesse Eisenberg.

[Morphesque]

@houseofel27 Hahahaha, I do that too!

[TheEditingShop]

I've only ever heard John swear in his books. Strange to hear it out loud.

[haleymathiot]

DUDE that's epic.

[justmerozzie]

oh my Rowling.

[severelyconfused111]

So refreshing to hear you swear, John.

[SamCoxTV1]

You guys are rockstars!

[nicciweasley]

Awesome.

[RainGlobule]

I first though: Holy sh*t Mark Zuckerberg was at Vidcon?!

[crazyzippyfumblefish]

2010?



[SpellboundSama]

I. Am. SO FREAKING STOKED FOR NEXT YEAR!!!! NOT MISSING IT FOR THE WORLD!! I overcame ALL the obstacles and already have my ticket and room paid for! EEEEEEEEEEEEE! :D

[merksmirs]

I love you guys so much. ESPECIALLY because you get nervous to the point of almost passing out before shows like this... it's just so humble and... sweet. Man, I love you guys. Seriously. can't wait for vidcon 2012 where I'll see you alive and in 3D for the first time in my life

[MissTasya606]

What I would've done to be there..

[Modog767]

:O That's crazy, I was ready for tons of people. John had more when he came to Pittsburgh. That's why you should come here on the tour. We love you guys <3

[vlogbrothers]

@Modog767 Well you can't tell, but there are more than a thousand people in that room. The first couple rows are empty because they were saved for YouTube employees who were backstage. -John

[skeeve55]

like rockstars

[HardhatJelloXenon]

I so wish I could go to VidCon 2011!

[jbdazen]

@HardhatJelloXenon That's been held already :P

[HardhatJelloXenon]

@jbdazen whoops, did I say 2011? I meant 2012 :)

[bridgetisadreamer]

<3 that was so awesome to see backstage things :D

[ellencradd10]

i'm so scared of people and heights that i'm probably more nervous watching this than you were to do it.

[missxrojas]

I like the bit where you compliment the guy's t-shirt.

[Linawk]

You are spoiling us with videos! You are awesome, I adore you guys so much.

[princeword]

swearing is not bad, it's a way to emotionally emphasize something awesome

[kobblinator]

@princeword Fuck yeah.

[Nanosauromo]

The guy in the thumbnail looks like Mark Zuckerberg.

[HannahIsUnoriginal]

@Nanosauromo I was just about to comment that XD

[Testoasteron]

@Nanosauromo In the thumbnail I thought that was a girl o.O

[rainbowumbrellaness]

@Gryffindor004 I'm hoping on 2013 too xD

[TheWittyChappy]

I would love to go to VidCon but, i'm stuck in England. Times like these I hate being British.

[FamilySimFemale]

@TheWittyChappy Me too! :(

[dannerzme]

:D

[Gryffindor004]

Damn being to young to go to VidCon 2010, 2011 and 2012. 2013 however... Yes I planning that far in advance.

[NickGreyden]

haha Classic nerds going on stage to screaming fans :-D

[J0yisaL0s3r]

I got nerves just watching! XD

[Twefrence]

Oh how I remember the first vidcon. Vidcon is going to be bigger and better each year =)

[janinabnm]

you know those guys backstage who gave Hank the microphone? That kind of work is my passion. tech theatre for the win maybe some day I'll work a show with John and Hank in it...

[beakybug]

@janinabnm

Speaking as fellow tech theater nerd...definitely my dream, too :)

[VeganVirginVaccinatd]

Adorable. :)

[crimsong19]

Fair amount of empty seats XD

- Jason

[MathsVlog]

I call shenanigans. John's puff level wasn't high enough.

=Math

[FlaminSmiles]

why were there so many empty seats in the front rows?

[vekamaca]

Hahaha. John seems less nervous then Hank. I would shit myself If I had to go on stage  and so many audience. You two are very brave.

[vondellyeah]

wow. fantastic.

[busvlogger]

I was in that crowd! You might be able to pick out my voice. I'm the one that sounds like a 36 year-old man/fan-girl... #squee

[StapleToothTiger]

I bet you scoff and laugh at those guys who thought that crowd was huge. They would probably die if they were still like that two years later. VidCon 2012 will be EPIC!

[TARDIS43]

Is Mark Zuckerberg your stage manager? O_o

[thespianwaffles]

That guy backstage looked a lot like Martyn.

[georgerobbins3]

nervous John is my favorite kind of John.

[JacquilineMist]

awww, this makes me love you and john a little more. this was a really sweet moment. seriously, you guys make me wonder how i'm getting 2000 dollars to come see you in 2012.

[cook4life94]

Vidcon 2010 was so amazing! Thanks Hank!

[MusicMeg2012]

I think this is the most adorable fucking thing I've ever seen.

[TheCoryKid]

Aw, the description was really sweet. (:

[Datelesswonders]

Wow at John swearing, and even more wow at how many people were not sitting in the front row!!

[queennomers]

I'm so glad that you rescued it from any kind of hard drive crash and even better shared this amazing moment with us. ^_^ Thanks

[delusionaldragon42]

I knew there was a reason these two are my idols.

[trazac]

Fucking rock stars

[EricB12345678]

Yes! shirt.woot love! A solid 90% of my shirts are woot shirts.

[GluedWallflower]

adsjkfansdmf

John saying fucking is so cute.

[JSMemoir]

I LOVE THE LENS FLARE!!!!! :D

[THEBrandonBrownson]

Kinda wish you wouldn't have censored that. I would have totally taken that sound clip and used it in my latest techno song

[Starlysh]

Rock stars.

[princessyrandom1214]

see mom nerds ARE cool

[SpecialQue85]

F*ding*

[LoganTheUltimate]

I have a microphone " WHAT'S UP!" JB couldn' even get a bigger cheer

[odetomidgetcheese]

Its great to hear John sware

[LoganTheUltimate]

You're such wholesome people. you're swearing is actually funny to me, because it's so foreign, like a bunny swearing

[Ninjaslikelamas]

@LoganTheUltimate eh if it that bunny from monty python,I would not put cursing past it.

[LoganTheUltimate]

@Ninjaslikelamas Oh so true, I've lost a lot of friends to that bunny

[vlogbrothers]

@LoganTheUltimate For the sake of accuracy, it's only me swearing. Hank almost never swears. -John

[LoganTheUltimate]

@vlogbrothers You acknowledged my existence.... Best moment ever

[SephKlas]

@vlogbrothers Yeah, only on special occasions like when someone screws up his glasses and there are little kids around to hear him.

[Whatsursign]

@vlogbrothers maybe not on camera...

[rethinkOURreality]

@vlogbrothers Oh come on, we know Hank swears too...

[1994punk]

@rethinkOURreality

Yeah, in front of groups of little kids at the mall xD

[bubbles7pjc]

@vlogbrothers *almost*

[Morphesque]

@LoganTheUltimate That was John, dude.

[LoganTheUltimate]

@Morphesque 1. yeah I realized that, sorry.

2. I'm a girl

[GildedWildebeest]

John is a BAMF, perhaps the best nerdy video to watch when drunk*. *Nerdfighteria does not condone underage/excessive drinking... but it's fun nonetheless.

[splicegrrl]

What a moment. I'm glad I was there to experience it.

[xTurnipTimex]

I was there :D <3 Proud VidConner

[jml21000]

that's neat

[ItTakesII]

Wow that is crazy fantastic. "Let's go fuckin' do this thing" should be on a shirt. -julian

[gleekyleek]

I don't understand how there are empty seats.

[splicegrrl]

@gleekyleek those were reserved seats for VIPS. no one was quite sure who was allowed to sit there. by the second day, that section didn't exist anymore. :)

[gleekyleek]

@splicegrrl Ooh, thanks for clearing that up :) I was like, "It's John and Hank! How can there be empty seats?!" Haha

[gleekyleek]

@Enemynarwhal Oh, okay. Hahaha, good point :)

[Gothmummi]

i Would'v run away I think. lots of people... x

[diehard82]

Interesting backup strategy hank :-)

[sab4251]

are you ready?!

[blessedbyacurse]

"Let's go fucking do this thing"

That's a good John quote.

[mortadelletube]

It's like a WhatImDoingRightNow, but with a time machine :D

[senorsqueakydesk]

Is Mark Zuckerberg your stage manager??

[sha2424]

I smiled

[rockstarJoBros]

"Let's go fu*kin do this thing." - John Green

BAMF= John Green

[TheSomethingWitty]

Hank, thank you for uploading stuff on this channel. I like it a lot :D

[disneyZorrofan1]

Why were there empty seats?! Im dying to see these guys!

[FamilySimFemale]

@disneyZorrofan1 Me too! I wish they'd come to the UK! :(

[Futuredudeman]

@disneyZorrofan1 This took place at around 9 AM if I'm remembering right, and going to sleep early at a Con is incredibly hard to do.

[Morphesque]

I've never been able to figure out why people cheer when someone on stage asks a greeting-esque question. I realize that it's rhetorical, and also that a mass of people enthusiastically screaming what was up in each of their lives would just be disorienting, but when somebody I know asks me what's up, I don't respond with "WOOOOOO!"

Maybe I should start?

[mickeleh]

How cool. I remember it well. Love the Mark Zuckerberg guy. Brilliant touch.

[mattietheawesome]

that one guy looks like mark zuckerberg! kinda...haha

[wiznerdfighter]

Best part about this video is...I was in the FREAKIN audience

[teganbowiefreak]

When you walked on that stage, I felt what it must've felt like to walk on that stage. I hope to have that moment.

[PerinorAS]

John: "Let's go fucking do this thing."

Hank: "I've got a microphone" Lemon might not be the only one that's a little derp in that family. ;P

[Phishy3121]

The nostalgia, it hurts.

[bellaluna423]

@Phishy3121 yeah. (Nostalgia is a good word though, I like that there is word for this)

[tallatstarbucks]

I am so freaking excited for VidCon. I can't wait!

[DarkenedYeastExtract]

I would die happy if I could hear John or Hank swear uncencoredly.

[matthewcars0n]

@DarkenedYeastExtract early B2.0 videos have some unbleeped swearing from them, it's fantastic

[officialravenzoe]

I remember this moment. Going down in history, my friend.

[Shmophie113]

That was an amazing moment at Vidcon.

[Dramaismyife]

Anyone else having audio problems? Or is it just me?

[MegaCalvinHobbes]

@Dramaismyife Just you.

[iambored71717]

I remember exactly where I was sitting for this morning. Vidcon 2010 FTW!

[yrpgullwings]

Can't wait for this year's edition! I'm coming all the way from Belgium :D

[enduringstone]

john is very gung ho.

[helloimcalledryan]

I love how you just walk past Mark Zuckerberg at 0:18 ...
