[oh9ah6]

Oh my god. Perfection.

[IamWHOiAM00001]

OMDWG MY FRIENDS NICNAME IS RAINBOW (and im sunshiine) BUT WHAT!?! I DIDNT KNOW MY FRIEND WAS A PONY!!! SWEET!

[squaltch]

How do you feel that a new BBC show has completely ripped your story off?

[CharmedSlayerr]

This is a psychoanalyst's dream

[bobbiskeeper]

I love your new book. It was awesome. So I bought 3 more of your books...

[l4rmo]

hahahahahaha :DDD

this is awesome.

i just finished reading the last little blue envelope.

it rocks. i swear, it rocks! it's original n I'm never ever going to forget it.

<3

[emilieofnewgloom]

This is the best thing I've ever seen.

[kira902k]

LOL MAUREEN. WHAT.

[suppastar101]

sleep is for babies

[ellajobberknoll]

This is fantastic. :)

[bedabuds]

*five minutes later* I just recorded this onto my phone and it is now my ring tone ~bridgette of the bedabuds

[bedabuds]

I fought dial up for this vidoe and watched it so many times I can quote it! I love you MJ!!!

And I read the preview you had up of Name of the Star ( teh first however many chapters) and I LOVE it, can't wait to read the whole thing!

[psiangel7]

I've watched this 5 times now and it still makes me laugh

[alliekm57]

That was just great. I loved that very much. I like you as a bunny :x3

[oceanangel101]

No offense, I like your books- but these videos are made by someone else, the idea and everything else. I know because my math teacher showed us one in class yesterday.

[donnasaurusrawr]

@oceanangel101 No, it's not. It's made with the Xtranormal Movie Maker, as linked in the description under the number of video views. Anyone can create a video using these characters if they input their own text, hence why there's approximately a million of them on YouTube.

[HM909]

I think all people Are secretly as odd as maureen, and shes just the only one who's honest about it. The jars love u, Maureen. Make more vlogs or we will cry until our tears drown us! *threat face*

[TheWMSLibrarian]

Loved the cartoon - funny...can't wait to read your new book! ...and hear more about the pony.

[stargleekwhofighter]

... I'm actually really scared now. I mean, that was amazing, I'm just scared for your well being Maureen.

[friendsandbombs]

I just finished The Name of the Star in one sitting. It was so incredibly amazing and awesome and wonderful and effortlessly thought provoking. You made the transition from a light-hearted YA about crazy uncles to a chilling and engaging murder mystery seem so effortless, you are so awesome, Maureen. Love, a fifteen year old Nerdfighter and Maureen fan from Sydney.

[AvengerXP]

Awesomeness.

[enialis02]

Maureen you are BRILLIANT. Slightly related note: this was a nice video.

[fatesrelease]

I bought my book today! I can't wait to read it! Yay! Congrats on another book Maureen! :)

[MeOnStuff]

If Maureen published her internal monologue, it would be a best seller. And get her sectioned.

[Raizaiel]

I have no words for how much I love you for doing this. In other news, time to save up and buy you that pony.

[luvdobby]

This video has made my day BRILLIANT. I CANNOT WAIT until the delivery man comes with my Name of the Star package. I really do hope that you get that pony, Maureen!! :)

[SeahorseyPrincess]

Yay my book came today, half way through already. Bit scared! :p

[smilenose]

lol you are the BEST

[MarlonOwnsYourCake]

Is it weird that I just assumed the other person was Libba Bray?

Aren't I supposed to be pretending to troll you? It's been so long since you've made a video, I don't know who I am anymore.

[faye4815]

My preorder ha been dispatched, WOOT WOOT

And this video made me laugh more than it probably should have.

[ntcssj]

Hahahaha. Maureen! Amazing!

[ajaandkimmy]

Maureen Johnson, you might be the single most hilarious person I've never met.

[MrsJasperHale08]

"sleep is for people who don't like Harry Potter"- my internet friends XD

cannot WAIT to get my copy!

[hi2426]

@MrsJasperHale08 Except you're the one who said it.

Way to fail, Josie. xD

And Nikki for going to sleep right after it was posted.

[awesomemadeline]

love love love. can't wait for my book to come! hoping it'll be in a couple of hours now!

[niminonono]

lol nice. i wish i had my book NOW :( gonna check my  mail again :P

[photofaery]

I got mine in the mail today! It was suuuuper exciting cause I'd kinda forgotten that I'd pre-ordered it! What a great surprise for me! :) Thanks Maureen!

[hedgehog4808]

YOU BOUGHT A PONY?!?!?!?! AND YOU DIDN'T TELL US???

[MollyOmigosh]

Buy it or my pony will be upset!

[oceansurferg]

So, so beautiful. It brings tears of laughter to my eyes =)

[7chobbers7]

So... will the book tour include Oklahoma? Please? We'll ride the ponies with you and then listen to you read The Name of the Star on bails of hay... with chocolate. Are you convinced that returning to Oklahoma is a good choice yet?

[Angieanything]

LOL Oh Maureen, you're brilliant.

Much love!!

[FantasticBrina]

Sleep is for babies. And ponies.

[XxSingYourHeartOutxX]

"What you really should be asking is why I am dressed like a bunny." "Okay. Why are you dressed like a bunny?" "I'm not telling you."

[ToriSquirt1313]

That was actually wonderful.

[CharmedSlayerr]

I love the toilet flush at the end...lol

[sepiasunrise]

Actually I now go beyond viral in my predictions. I call meme! MJ meme.

[sepiasunrise]

Is it wrong that I just added this to my "feel good" (as in for cheering me up) playlist? I don't want to cheer myself up on the back of your agony, but you are so good at being funny, regardless of the circumstances!

[deltaevenstar]

The other one is clearly not a part of you, since it was capable of rational thoughts at such an exciting time.

[sepiasunrise]

Also this is the epitome of sleep deprivation. Although I can't imagine anyone else doing sleep deprivation quite like you MJ!

[sepiasunrise]

PS Random cupcake sender, if you are reading this, now might be a good time for some more cupcakes? Although she may just throw them up. What about a disco ball? Or do we need to go beyond the normal? Could you send her a ball pit? ;-p

[sepiasunrise]

I can see this going viral ;-p

You gotta love the canned laughter at the end, as if the money comment was the funniest of the video. How could any video be MORE Maureen Johnson? (Well apart from the fact that the "Real John Green" video will forever be etched in my mind.)

Love, love, love.

Maureen Johnson encapsulated in a video.

My random statements aren't coherent, but that seems like the perfect way to respond to this video!

But I hope you are ok MJ. Have some jar hugs.

[Tennis5tar]

This is beautiful and nothing hurts.

[kgerlz]

"sleep is for babies...and ponies"......amazing. ahahahahahahahaha

[bluejaybee17]

you are the best!

[thisiamdenied]

"I don't even know who I am."

[rarefiednight]

ALL HAIL THE JAR QUEEN!

[OnTheBigAdventure]

... I wasn't confused by this at all. I'm not sure what precisely that says about your book's audience. (My copy is shipping to me as we speak. I'm so excited!)

[jazzyj890]

Love it, Maureen.

"I bought myself a pony this morning to celebrate."

"I really hope you are kidding, but I fear you are not."

"His name is rainbow."

[lococococooch]

This video. . .makes complete sense to me.

Congratulations on the book, Mama MJ. To celebrate, I will be quoting this video all around school today. The looks I'm going to get are all for you. Enjoy.

Lois

[AliciaMo12]

This is why I love Maureen. Haha can't wait for my book to come in the mail!!

[AnAmazingUsername]

Maureen Johnson, I love you.

[EccentricInTexas]

"My tin foil hat can not keep my thinkings in" Oh Maureen I love you!!!

[ishvampire]

i love this video, and all the quotes from it

[Invincible117]

juice boxes can't save me now. ohmygosh this is funny. Congrats on the book release, Maureen :)

[DiagonAlii]

Sleep is for babies. And ponies.

[RynnMacPhail]

Maureen I love you. That is all.

[FlailingHenchmen]

I think hearing this freaked out my roommate. :p

[EKindy]

SO GREAT

[time2live09]

awesome Maureen. Just awesome!

[samanthapwns]

This is amazing. Can I just say I love you, Maureen?

[CharmedSlayerr]

"Juice boxes will not save me now"

[eustacia03]

This was like reading a hundred maureen tweets in a row. I love it.

[Tennath]

Could I have the rubber sack to keep my thinkings in? That throwy-upy feeling is getting to me. CURSE YOU, VIVA VOCE! Y R U MAKIN' ME NERVOUS?!

[Tennath]

Could I have the rubber sack to keep my thinkings in? That throwy-upy feeling is getting to me. CURSE YOU, VIVA VOCE! Y R U MAKIN' ME NERVOUS?!

[ashliebelle]

Sleep is for babies. And Ponies.

[msbeckiejean]

Is it wrong that my week has been so hectic that this totally made rational sense to me? Love you MJ. The book is fabulous!

[madetohealxx]

that bunny person blinks too much to accurately represent MJ.

[mojonacho]

OH GOOD. Now I have a voice in which to read Maureen's tweets...

-J

[CoraRora]

So freaking funny

[pepperminttea42]

It's okay, we're all mad too.

[BHLani]

This video is amazing!

[jamesgordonuk]

Because of the time difference it's out here now. And I just bought it. :)

[CRAIGworks]

MJ needs to make more videos! ^.^

[Enemynarwhal]

I've been considering getting a book by you, and I love Jack the Ripper. The only problem is that I hate love and happiness (which is why I like Jack the Ripper actually) but YA novels almost always include a love interests. Does this book have a love interest? Is the mysterious man/prime suspect actually not the killer and is instead an innocent person she has to help out whom she later falls in love with? If I called the plot I'm going to be all like yes!

[rethinkOURreality]

I'm sorry that nothing can help you now, Maureen, although I did bring these donuts in order to try to cheer you up...

*eats one*

[xxchristinee16]

Ahahahahahahhaa. You are so great.

[Likeflames]

I want you to be "the author with the pony." That would be amazing.

[teahwee]

Man, the audience you had for this performance was terrible. They laughed at the wrong time!

[Harlettem]

hehehe ^_^

[partyinthetardis]

YOU ARE SO WEIRD

<3

And that is why we love you so much.

[MalibuChick105]

Well I don't want to upset your pony...

[nmukerjee27]

I'm honestly not sure how the book is going to top this, but I have faith in you, Maureen.

[ninjoy17]

*watches*

*laughs her face off*

*watches again*

I am speechless. This is AMAZING.

[TessieTee]

Oh Maureen, you never cease to abuse me! 

[Starlysh]

I must not upset the pony!!

[PratNamedEvans]

Juice boxes can't save me now.

[LizzieQueen18]

I love you Maureen.

[DelphinFleety]

Hahaha so great :) Also I've already preordered :]

[myfeetdontlikeshoes]

sleep is for babies. And ponies.

You are officially my favorite person of all time.

[TheGeekyBlonde]

So this is the most amazing thing in the universe.

ahem

*this* universe.

[omnidoug]

Good lord Maureen. You broke the mold. And by that I mean you broke the beneficial, symbiotic molds that our bodies need to stay uncrazy, like penicillum and bunnysuitium, and I... I just... let's all make up new adjectives because the normal ones just rode away on the sanepony.

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

Maureen, you're so random.

[odddialect]

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. That's strange.

[XxSingYourHeartOutxX]

<3 Maureen, you make me laugh. Thank you so much!! :D

[allshalldelight]

Is it wrong that this is exactly how I imagine Maureen? It seems pretty accurate to me.

[raechaosface]

"I will ride him triumphantly into all the books towers"..... The machine can say 'triumphantly' but not 'book stores'? Hahahahaha. That's wonderful.

[piper419966]

This just made my day! Nothing can go wrong now...

[pete275]

That's your agent right?

[PatienceGrosvenor]

w00t!

[blessedbyacurse]

Sleep is for babies and ponies. Genius.

You need to dress up as this bunny for halloween.

[iloveDiplodocus]

jesus CHRIST i love you. can i say that? is it incredibly creepy? too bad.

[SydneyTinker]

I would buy it regardless of the pony situation.

[Havyn416]

PLEASE be a giant bunny for Halloween, like Anya.

[PompTheMoose]

ilovethis

[KlemmonsforKaya]

<3 Love you, Maureen! And your pony!

[xiaonwa]
