Dec 31: Goodbye Brotherhood 2.0

[pinkchick180]

This was the first vlogbrothers video I ever saw. *sniff*

[ThatOneChick2021]

I knew it wasn't actually going to end, but, in the same way I knew Harry wasn't going to ACTUALLY die, I got very upset and then very excited. Also there was the John singing that kept me reasonably happy throughout the whole thing.

[ginarocks75]

I finally finished all the Brother 2.0 videos! But I still have 4 more years of videos to go! But I'm not complaining, because this is AWESOME! <---- That statement was a little redundant because of course this is awesome!

[CodenameJD]

This shouldn't be relevant any more, but it still is. I love this song. I wish I'd been around to see it at the time and learn Vlogbrothers was continuing through this. The little moment at 2:12 would have just made me go "...what...?", and then 3:00 to 3:16, especially with John smiling and nodding...fantastic.

[Pixiesoapbox]

I just fell in love all over again.

[plutoisaplanettoo]

Even when he can't sing, John can sing.

He defies the laws of everything.

JDFTBA (John doesn't forget to be awesome.)

[faye4815]

I'm so glad this wasn't the end of the Vlogbrothers.

[TheShyUnicorn]

I just watched all of Brotherhood 2.0 while being off work sick for 2 days. Thank you for two of the best sick days ever. I've started the process of becoming a Nerdfighter and loaned money at kiva.org to help decrease world suck levels. You guys are 'jokes'. DFTBA

[ThatOtherCaitlin]

In which John sings!!!

[naomierosen]

john sings!!

[Kelmacd9]

Just had a slice of pizza at 2:30 in the morning to celebrate watching the entire brotherhood 2.0 in two days. DFTBA

[TheChippy600]

even though, I know how big Vlogbrothers is and how wonderful Nerdfighteria is, I still get nostalgic over these videos. This really was an end of an era and the changes they've made over the years have been really good, but sometimes I miss these two dorky brothers who had their challenges and blenderized happy meals.

[mthsbandrocks]

WHY IS JOHN SINGING?! :O

[DoublRainbow]

They're soo nerdy! :P

DFTBA

[IBCedrola]

1 year down 4 to go

[26Staples]

liar liar liar YOU SANG AGAIIIN

[funtaskerific]

honestly this might be my favorite Green song

[sachiye217]

One thing I like about the fact that I only joined in on all of this last year is the fact that now I periodically get to spend an hour watching old videos I've never seen. Maybe someday I will finally get them all watched...That's a big maybe though with over 900 videos uploaded.

[mooglew]

@sachiye217 You'll get there. It only took me a week.

[LifeMustard]

Thank you, John and Hank. You're made of awesome.

[housebrawl]

Lol at 3:24, John's face looks painful when singing about more secret projects... :p

[JayAreMe]

You guys left my pants, and went to your pants, which actually helped me recently. There are two people working with me on my vlog, and I'm writing a book which starts a lot like my favorite John Green book, though I didn't plan that. XD

[rawrrar3]

i love the ending. i almsot cried. im so happy you guys love us enough to stay longer then planned! see how much awesome has happend

[TheMCRedStoner]

I remember watching this the first time

[ChelCjustis]

never sing again john? how wrong you were

[Paulinemoke]

"We never have to do that crap again" oh how little do you know!

[thisisnotHolly]

All Brotherhood 2.0 videos in 2 days. Well technically 3, its early morning now. I love seeing old John and Hank

[PaintTheTears]

All the Brotherhood 2.0 videos in 3 days! :D this was amazing.

[masterjoeykancho]

Chords?

[masterjoeykancho]

Chords?

[PlaaTheAlmighty]

Hang on, if they couldn't text each other, how did they get the words of the song to each other?

[ToaVox]

@PlaaTheAlmighty Good question...

I think maybe they could've posted it on my pants. The rules said they couldn't communicate *directly* to each other.

[Brielle2210]

@ToaVox I'm thinking they talked to each other on the phone that was always allowed.

[nothingiseverava]

Watching this new years day in 2012 it makes me happy :)

[ariearenonagela]

@nothingiseverava Me too :)

[jamiegirl9125]

I'm watching this on Dec. 31 2011, and I didn't know what to say 'till I remembered a way earlier comment about not as many new comments the farther the year got. Don't worry, people are still watchin'.

[fluffin1103]

Happy dancing.

Was that strawberry hill?

[harrypotterrocks1762]

Hm... never sing again?? Not likely! :D

DFTBA nerdfighters,

Nerdfighter Colleen H.

[TheGummyBearOverLord]

John you don't sound that bad

[dubstepnium]

I watched the entirety of Brotherhood 2.0 in less than a week.

[dftbawolf]

Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying.

[Imnotthatfat145]

I started this on P4A 2011, and I finished it on Dec. 30 2011.... I WAS SOO CLOSE

[SulisFidelis]

Argh! To think! What if they hadn't carried on? I wouldn't be a nerdfighter :(

[MonniqueSaoPaio]

I did it! I started and finished watching brotherhood 2.0 in 2 weeks!!!!! YEY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sad it`s 2011 and I couldn`t actually be a part of this, but I am now! DFTBA everyone!

[chexmixultimate]

I almost cried. The end is so sad...and then it turns out it wasn't the end at all.

Nerdfighters, we change lives. I've never met a Nerdfighter I didn't like. When I see one, I become incredibly excited and KNOW that they're going to be awesome. I am so proud to be a part of this community. DFTBA for life

[EpiclyCourtney]

i got choked up.

[SomeoneBeginingWithI]

this song almost made me cry :') those guys are the best

[BellatrixPlaysPiano]

So, I just have to say this...

John really doesn't have that bad a singing voice.

As a matter of fact, it's barely distinguishable from Hank's.

So there's really no need for him to always be promising not to sing. Because Hank's voice is definitely no better than John's.

Just sayin'.

[thebishman99]

What a nerdfitastic 5 years it has been DFTBA

[olivalos]

What is Hank drinking?

[thebishman99]

@olivalos i believe it is left over strawberry hill and peeps blended together form his concert punishment

[cornershot94]

@olivalos I think it was peeps in strawberry hill? maybe. don't quote me.

[starlove0043]

shivers. just..... shivers. <3 DFTBA

[birthdaygirl1126]

we get to hear the yetti!!

[RiskyBrothers]

my familial is looking at me funny for just sitting in front of my laptop crying

[LMNOP1214]

I have now watched all of the Brotherhood 2.0 videos! It's been really amazing. Like, just really great.

[sethwerewolf]

OMG!!! John! Is singing! Well! Like... Really good! That's not something you see everyday...

[JAMBO4358]

I miss the more regular videos :/

[dftbacacia]

I just realized... they fixed misspelling in the intro screen. For this one last video.

This makes me smile and I don't know why.

[DragonsAreBetter]

I just completed watching all the 2007 Brotherhood 2.0 videos and this genuinely made me so happy. If only I knew about vlogbrothers back then. DFTBA!

[DominiqueGould]

"John and Hank Green are here to stay."

*suddenly finds self doing the nerdfighter sign*

[emavj97]

just finished watching brotherhood 2.0, and I am sad that I wasnt able to participate when it was actually going on. but now I look forward to watching the rest of the vlogbrother videos, meeting henry, and seeing more awesomeness from fellow nerdfighters.

[CodenameJD]

Why has this never been released on CD!?

[Twefrence]

In some way, I'm glad that I didn't know about brotherhood 2.0 back in 2007. Why? Because I would have been REALLY sad to anticipate them leave.

But I'm glad they stayed, and we will too =)

[aKISSinTHEmoonlighT]

Though it's 2011 and I've kept up with them all of this time, I'm crying. Really freaking hard. Nerd fighters ftw. DFTBA. And thanks for changing my life.

[LikeWatevrDude]

I cried, that was amazing.

Yes, I realise they didn't disappear cos I keep up with the current vlogs, but it still made me sad the see the official end of the original project.

Keep up the good work Brothers Green and DFTBA.

[wolfinal]

4:20 ...is that...Strawberry Hill? ...?

[JAMBO4358]

I never really realised that they do have a fair amount of likeness until watching this vid

[FilTheEvilGoblin]

I don't think anyone would've done their happy dance if you left. It's a good thing that you didn't!

[jake9000000000000000]

<3 love you guys

[HoliHallow]

I've been a nerdfighter for just over 4 months, and a dedicated one since then. So I never knew they existed in 2007, and so over the past 4 days, I've watched all the original Brotherhood 2.0 videos back to back, till I've got to this one.

This song made me a little teary, just cause I am SO UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY they didn't quit. God that would've been terrible. So yeah.

THANK YOU HANK AND JOHN.

[rikko338]

I promise i'll never sing again. PAHAHAHAHA no

[MrMountweazel]

When I heard this song, I started bawling. It was like a year of my life was being taken away.

And then I heard, :"The rules it seems may need some amending" and I raised an eyebrow, and then, "John and Hank Green are here to stay" and I just started screaming and running around my house like an idiot.

You guys are the two most amazing people to ever have been born, I am sure of it.

And even if I've never met either one of you in person, and you have no idea who I am...

I love you both.

[kittendancer]

John doesn't have such a bad voice. @TicTacTJ93 i cried too back then.

[TicTacTJ93]

OMG I cried so hard!! It's now 2011 and I know that our amazing community continues and may continue for many many years to come, but it seems so sad that they thought it was ending!

I love John and Hank and Nerdfightaria. I've never felt so accepted and loved. You guys changed my life, and I'm so Grateful.

DFTBA.

[TicTacTJ93]

[PokeZelda6664]

Daw, this made me cry.

*sniff*

[eeli1]

I actually think john has a fine voice.

[Mike0Powell]

@eeli1 I agree. I think he could do with some more training, but definitely not bad.

[SeahorseyPrincess]

Ah, the end of Brotherhood 2.0. I made it! Good thing is there are still hundreds more videos for me to catch up with :D DFTBA <3

[carbonatedcheese]

you know, i've been subscribed for 2 years and this is pretty much the only channel i watch with any consistency, so i KNOW they don't leave. and yet.. i was still getting sad at the videos leading up to this, and i got tremendously excited and did my happy dance when they sang they were here to stay.

[JustCallMe253]

I can only imagine what it must have been like to be an original Nerdfighter and to hear this fantastic surprise... :,)

[kuddleyfin10]

John's smile around 3:06 is like my favorite thing ever! lol

[Bramtic]

I just finished my own year-long vlog, and this song was playing in my head as I recorded my final video today. Thank you so much, John and Hank, for your inspiration and for always being awesome. DFTBA!

[SasukeisAwesome]

I just finished watching all of Brotherhood 2.0...and I have to say, it was nothing short of AWESOME. I think this should be a pilgrimage for all Nerdfighters. Discovering their roots... and so on! And truly, that song just made my day. Especially, as noted above, the part where they sing "John and Hank Green are here to stay." NERDFIGHTERS FOREVER!

[LindseysBackyardLive]

I'm so glad you kept going With this. Because I would never be a nerdfighter if you didn't. DFTBA. -3

[MrFredthelemur]

I can't lie... I cried

[ryan041493]

I've just spent about 4 days watching a year of many beautiful lives and i couldn't feel any more honored.

[mewmewgirl08]

*happy tears* DONE! I just finished watching Brotherhood 2.0! :D Now on to 2008's videos! ;P

[BoReD748]

@mewmewgirl08 I've done it twice, it never stops being awesome.

[mark4851]

I did love that song but im glad john's not allowed to sing anymore

[trinibabeegurl]

I cry every time I watch this video. I really think it's about to end even though I know it's not.

[cutiegirl7o7o]

I'm a newer nerdfighter, decided to watch all of their vlogs from the beginning. I must admit, even though I know it kept going, I cried.

[rainabraina]

I am a new nerdfighter and I started watching from the beginning. even though I know that they continued the vlog, I did almost burst into tears...

[kuddleyfin10]

When I watch this video I always feel like I'm going to cry until you say "John and Hank Green are here to stay" and then I, of course, become extremely happy. Thanks so much you guys for continuing to share you're awesomeness with us beyond the brotherhood 2.0 project and for making me feel awesome and like I belong somewhere. You guys are most definitely made of awesome.

[YoruuXD]

It's 2011, I know every single word and I still get tingles when I hear that "John and Hank Green are here to stay"

John, Hank, Nerdfighters... Never forget to be awesome <3

[CodenameJD]

@YoruuXD For me it starts the first time Hank sang "I don't ever think we'll think we'll leave from my pants", and then slowly repeating "you can do your happy dance"...suggesting more is afoot there.

[zoladzish]

YES

I found the video where John promises never to sing again!

[hizachyo]

@zoladzish You left your first comment before finishing hte video, didn't you? :P

>x< (faily nerdfighter sign)

[hizachyo]

@hizachyo oh, here's a better one: >><<

[zoladzish]

@hizachyo Obzeeusly

[zoladzish]

I'm trying to find the video where John promises not to sing anymore.

[whovian17]

Thanks John and Hank, I love your videos, books, and music. It's changed my life for the better!!

[18KCSmith]

and then henry shows up, and guess what. John sings again.

[MotionCitySoundtrac2]

Finished brotherhood 2.0 :) I feel so overwhelmed, seeing nerdfighteria grow in such process that I can never explain because of too much awesomeness. Nerdfighteria changed me for the better, I will never know what will happen to me without nerdfighteria. John and Hank, thank you for starting all of this awesomeness

[Teeftlis]

Finished Brotherhood 2.0 onwards!

[rikko338]

THis silly little project, a collab between two brothers, turned a screwed up and confused young man into a bold and incredibly nerdy individual. I owe you so very, very very much. DFTBA

[thecuriouschinchilla]

john and hank, you changed my life. you made me realize it's okay to be my nerdy self. no longer do i have to hide my giggles at intelligent literature jokes that teachers make, or stop singing goofy songs once my friends and i get in a public place. when people ask me what i'm reading or listening to, or where my quote's from, i can tell them it's harry potter or lord of the rings, tell them it's some obscure band, tell them i'm quoting john and hank green. thank you brotherhood 2.0. DFTBA.

[TookItHomeToJenny]

Awsome

[discogreat]

It's official, I have seen every brotherhood 2.0 video twice.

[4lifeNerdfighter]

Technically, shouldn't they be punished for over 4 minutes?

[lysolcoke2HD]

It's 3:42 AM PST on July 15, 2011, and this was the most AWESOME week of my life. I've been watching your videos for about a year and I decided to have my own little project; watch what started it all. This may be one of the most amazing things ever done, and you guys, of all people, were the perfect ones to do it. After all of this, I'm proud to be a nerd, because we're the most awesome people of all. DFT... what am I thinking, you guys CAN'T forget to be awesome. Thanks for being so awesome.

[Pink7Butterfly]

12:51 am central time....july 14,2011............thanks for making me feel happy ...after watching a marathon i feel part of the nerdfighters...sadly in you pants does not exist anymore....hope it did!!!!

[TheEzzran]

I don't know if you still come back and read the comments on these old videos, but I needed to say this. It's 1:20AM Central Time on July 13, 2011, as I write this. I want to congratulate you on making it this far and being an inspiration to all of Nerdighteria. Thanks for keeping it up, guys. Who woulda thought you'd still be doing this four years later? John, Hank, Don't Forget to Be Awesome. ~Ian (curse youtube font making capital i's look like lowercase L's)

[13cmwright99]

This might be my favorite Brotherhood 2.0, nay, Vlogbrothers video. Not only because of the awesome song, but because without their decision to keep doing the vlogs, I never would have found out about the awesomeness of Nerdfighting, and I never would have read John's books or bought This Machine Pwns Noobs on iTunes. In fact, I wouldn't even have YouTube account, because I made it at first just to subscribe to the Brothers Green.

DFTBA.

[inolover10]

major goose bumps :)



[TheVideoRadioStar]

"John and Hank are here to stay!" :D

[jimijimi1029]

ok... so i know alot of people like to point out why people dont like videos and it's a bit cliche...but this one just doesn't make sense. im stumped, you 53 non-nerdfighters.

[SHALYN8]

@jimijimi1029 The only explination I have is that they dislike Brotherhood 2.0 ending.

[jimijimi1029]

@SHALYN8 point, game, set, match.

[SHALYN8]

@jimijimi1029 ???

[jimijimi1029]

@SHALYN8 my geeky way of saying good point... lol

[ALLCAPSfan98726]

How come this video doesn't have one million views yet!

[sleh321]

I think I started watching Vlogbrothers in 2009 and after a while decided to watch all of the Brotherhood videos from the beginning. I am so glad I did! This made me not only love you guys so much more, but it made me appreciate everything that nerdfighting means. I'm so glad you took a year out of your life(and many days after) to do this because it has made me a proud nerdfighter. Hank and John, I so hope to meet you someday! May 2012 at a book signing is extremely likely! DFTBA!

[Bl1ndArch3r]

Was this the first video where there was an 'i' in 'communication'?

[GuitarTopHat]

Brotherhood 2.0: Finished. But don't worry, I'll miss you when you're gone... from your pants

[Stroolet123]

Um.... Do these guys ever meet up?

[trinibabeegurl]

I cried watching this even though I know it didn't end. lol

[Ayelen013]

DFTBA... oh, i forgot. you can't stop being awesome. It's something natural in you :)

[AllieYourAlly]

"And I promise, no matter what happens next year, I'll never sing again."

John, thank you on behalf of the Nerdfighters for being such a liar.

[kickassyo16]

i feel like I'm going to cry every time i watch them sing, and then h]they say they are here to say and i can't help but happy dance!

[AdamtheAsh]

Had to rewatch again *Sighs* I want more duets.

It's wrong that this song is still a tear jerker after 3 and a half years.

[Martheworld]

4 weeks (weak internet, summer class and making my own videos took up watching time), pretty much the duration of my class, the time it took me to watch all of Doctor Who. I now look forward to watching the rest of the videos!

DFTBA, FORVER!

[Nerdfighterian]

Did anyone else start crying the first time they heard this... and then saw "uploaded Dec 31, 2007"?

[Nerdfighterian]

@Nerdfighterian Yes, I did.

[thundervlogTV]

how does john have no emotion in this video?

[MagicMuggle1098]

my mind was blown when i realized that this video's intro has the 'i' in communication. did that totally jump out at anyone else?

[SunParakeet]

Goodbye Brotherhood 2.0 in your pants!

[Invincible117]

I swear every time I watch this video I cry even though I know they keep making videos.

[Ravenclaw797]

woooooo i finished brotherhood 2.0! 

[Bobklafg1]

@MRWONKAA1 If only I wasn't on my iPod, you'd have a nice dislike and flag :)

[lula839]

It would be sad for those who didn't know that this was going to continue. I would have cried if I had been there.

[shortuf0]

DFTBA. :D

[MRWONKAA1]

is this song about them going gay

[deadkennedysrmyhero]

the video quality is SO BAD!!! lol keep going john and hank

[birdyblair]

john u rock at singing =D DFTBA

[LifeMustard]

Even though I know the project continues, my eyes water when I hear this song. Thank you, Hank and John. You have changed my life forever.

DFTBA.

[19sasukelover]

DFTBA.

[parkerdangerous]

this was awesome

[thundervlogTV]

when u said "John and hank green are here to stay", I did my happy dance and now, since you said in the interview that you'll keep doing vids until ppl stop watching them, i'll watch them forever

[Jgosse]

Just finished watching brother hood 2.0 It took me 10 days to watch all the videos . I believe i will take a brake before moving forward.

[freezie656]

John. You are not that terribly tonedeaf. Personally, I think you're fakin' it

[RyuzakiLawlietL1]

Cry every time.

[GeorgeHarrisonsWife]

What do you think would've happend if the nerdfighter community never happend to Hank and John?

[butwhyistherumgone]

I think its so fantastic that most of the 'inside jokes' came in the first year! so great :)

[icecreamsoda117]

i thought hank was holding back his tears

.....but it was just him hitting his thumb on the b-string. (aren't you glad it wasn't the string for G?)

[Kumafy]

Just got to this point in my Brotherhood 2.0 marathon. What a finale to the year! I'm so glad they didn't finish it. See you on... now!

[maddoraptor]

@Kumafy Extremely agreed. I'm watching them all too! When I need to work on my novel I throw their videos on and just write for hours.

[Lauraa4023]

@Kumafy Omg same! I have been watching them all from the very beginning. And I tell you, I'm not getting bored of in your pants jokes ;D

[Kumafy]

@Lauraa4023 Haha, me and a friend were at a book sale recently... we couldn't help ourselves but "in your pants" every title we saw... and it was Awesome.

[NineYearOldToddlers]

Even though I know they come back, this video still make me SO sad. I'm on the verge of tears.

[Jgosse]

@NineYearOldToddlers I have to say I felt the same. if i did not know they came back I may have.

[stinkoman286]

the map of the relm of narnea

[ilovefriends97]

John looks a little scared when he's singing :P

[BalletBeauty97]

Is it weird that this almost made me cry?? Like, I know that Vlogbrothers kept it going... but just the idea that they would possibly stop, made me quite sad. But then at the end I did my happy dance! :)

[volkswagenminibus]

53 people actually thought that this was the end. :{)

[sheggy96]

i'd be lying if i said that the first part of this song made me cry but hearing the second part made me do my happy dance all arong the house :'D x

[sheggy96]

i'd be lying if i said that the beginning made me cry when i first heard this song. by the end i was happy damcing all round my house :'D x

[haleythedinosaur]

HOLY CRAP LONELY GIRL. TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT HERRRRRRR
