153: STOP UPLOADING! ...and start watching.

[PurplePigsGoMoo]

I am watching every single fiveawesomeguys video, yes. More than halfway through my trek!(: Hahah I wonder if anyone of you guys still looks at these comments...

[grefog]

lol i'm watching this in my F.A.Guys  Marathon. next to the girls.

[mynameisterrelll]

i've just discovered this channel, and been watching all the fiveawesomeguys videos over the last few days. it's taken a while to get this far because i can't watch them all in one massive chunk, but its been really interesting :') also, you posted this video before i even watched vlogs and stuff on youtube, which is kinda weird :')

but anyways, rambling over, awesome channel and it's a shame i wasn't a part of it when you were uploading videos, but what the hell, i'm going to subscribe ;)

[otakubabe555]

Hahaha, you mean like how I went back and am now watching all of the FiveAwesomeGuys videos in chronological order when I never even saw anything until after you guys stopped making them. Yeah, this is 2 years old now. :P

[c0nzo12]

i hate it when famous youtubers delete their old videos.

i'm looking at you nerimon.

[Mackinoo]

Was quite amused by this video, as I only discovered the fiveawesomeguys channel earlier this week. I was already aware of Alex (and vaguely Charlie) because of Chameleon Circuit, but as only an occasional youtube user I wasn't aware of their "fame" as such. So, since I realised what I've been missing, I've started watching this channel from the beginning. Two years too late to the party, so I've never commented before, but felt I had to on this one.

[whoshify]

do you still read these comments? if so, i'd like to say i just discovered the 5awesomeguys and am watching all of them in order, i am now on #154 and i love this channell. Please gather the guys and upload on here again just for old times sake. And i agree with you. I am the type of viewer that when i subscribe i watch every video they ever made just because it gives me more insight about how the person came to be and its entertaining. Thanks!

[jaelaness]

How dumb do u sound? I mean really? U turnd around n uploaded a video sayin not to upload videos. Like maybe u shud try taking ur own advice..

[ChateauOfADoubt]

I love doing that...I  especially like hearing about how whichever YouTuber got their "big break" .... annnnd ......like Julia Nunes making a 200 subscribers video:)

[ForeverDawn101]

Actually, I watched the entire vlogbrothers' amount of uploads before I subbed to them... and I did that this year, so there was tons of them....

Because I don't have a life like that.

;D

[ChateauOfADoubt]

I did that too, I think. I actually can't remember when I subscribed to them.

[Heim05]

good to know that I'm not just writing these lol I hope they make you smile XD

[liquidtopazfire]

often times when I subscribe to someone, I go back to watch all of the videos(when I have time, like now!)

I think its great that you still have the notifications up. It makes me feel like there is a point to writing these.

[fanfan101]

Haha i always do this

[nellytheninkynonk]

I am so happy that you still read old comments, it makes it feel worthwhile.

I just wanted to say that I have never seen a video of yours that I haven't enjoyed and I wanted to thank you for making videos and filling up my free time.

[GodsOfRune]

shut up fathead.

P.S. are you the owner of fathead? it looks like it

[crowbournemw]

I've watched every single video for all of my subscribers. I usually watch through all the videos before I do subscribe.

[QTpieLindsey]

i LOVE that idea! that sounds like a GREAT idea!! lol i've been tryin to watch the videos from oldest to newest...but, that's a great idea! :D

[xBabyHalfDead]

i do that! =]

which is why im watchin this - going through all the old fiveawesomeguys stuff

[talkinatchu]

Same!!

[blondeshortie772]

i can't believe im so late

ughh

i started from the beginning of the series though

so i hope that you check this comment since you just said you check the old comments

you guys rock

if yall stopped making videos (which i dont know since i havent caught up yet)

thats a complete bummer

well bye [: [: [:

[toddscamera]

I've been watching the fiveawesomeguys for like a month and I started since the beggining!

there are like 225 videos so far but I haven't watched the lastest ones, so I will get it I guess xD

[millystack]

I've been watching these videos from the beginning for like the last two weeks.

:)

[xanamandra]

So I think this is really funny. I just recently got into YouTube, hardcore... and l have been watching all the fiveawesomeguys. I am really sad that I didn't know about you guys whe it was actually going on :[.

[ladadidah]

I'm OCD so I HAVE to watch all the videos in order if I'm subscribed to people like vlogbrothers. I watched them from the start to te recent ones.

So I watch all the videos. Woo! ^^

[xrebecca08]

SAME!

[sunnyxretro]

i just discovered vlogbrothers in december and i watched all of their videos in about a month. and the same for the 5AG! I'm about half way there!

[JoshRecord]

fuc kwatching videos all day :'(

geee heee eeeek xD LETS GO SKATEBOARDING

[vincesway]

your so right

[MissBrandy23]

I started watching videos on youtube just a few weeks ago and am going through and happen to be watching all the 5A guys and girls videos and plan on watching the entire history of all the people who participated because it's been beyond interesting. I think it's great to watch it all because you get to see how people change over the course of their youtube life. *nods*

[jesuislagare]

Such as me watching this RIGHT NOW

I love you Alan :)

[Chibi12345678]

...You say this as I am going through ALL the videos after subscribing. And i've been commenting as I go along :) I'm glad you mentioned to comment because I've been feeling kinda silly commenting on an old video.

[xXCatCrissAngelFanXx]

i started u guys from the beginning!! yays

[stunnedbymusic]

When you started talking about the topic of this video, watching old videos of the people that you're subscribed to, I laughed. That's exactly what I've been doing with your videos. I started with the first one and I'm working my way to your most recent upload.

And it's good stuff. :]

[vulcanbirdbrain]

same! :}

[Biskict]

I'm watching 5AG all videos ^^

[RebeccaInTheTARDIS]

You're really awesome! I'm trying to watch all the 5AG videos, but there are quite a lot!

[the5regularguys]

I always like going back and catching up on old videos. In fact, I've gotten so behind on my subscriptions that it's kind of all I'm doing at the moment.

Definitely a good idea.

[asher1847]

naw s...

[MCRbella]

I always watch the whole catalogue before subscribing, or i subscribe and then watch old videos. i don't like following someone i don't know the past to here on youtube if he/she/they have one. since it's a part of them, i think it's important.

[tydirium321]

Johnny's old videos are great!!!

[homskllet]

allen i dont know if you remember me from blogtv but i was the one who told you about naperiville stop and im trying to go there and i wish you could try and go there!

DTTBA,

homskllet

awesome video

[faaestaaburrida]

You are awesome. I'm subscribed to many channels and I always try to watch the videos from the very beginning but it ends up being too much. One day I'll be watching old videos for a good while.

[lucyjoosbox]

aww i think thats really sweet of u its funny cos (i hope i dont sound to fan girl lyk) but ive seen them all and i reacently just signed up and im watching all the five awesome guys then im gonna watch a load of alexes =]

[apacthegreat]

i have tried to watch all of the videos from all of my subscriptions

[TheVReport]

I went back and watched all of the 5AG videos from the beginning

[dorkandproud]

how the hell did you find the time to watch them all.

[bonZa1994]

I love all your video's, Ive watched most of then on your personal channel and everyone elses (cept Todd, sorrry =/ ) But yea.

Ive missed every live awesome guys show cause its liek 5am on a sunday here. Andd thats like impossible hahaha

Some time in the future, can u do it later/earlier for all the Aussies watching you guys =D

Love you all

[pennygoo]

i've seen most to all of my subscriptions videos unless i just subscribed to them for.. no reason...

[darrenvox]

sweet vid, watch some of mine!!!

[awesomearra]

Are you still reading Harry Potter?

[fallofautumndistro]

No.

[SilberrrMonster]

lol. i only subscribe to people that i watched all the videos for.. lmao.. yeah.. i'm a dork. :)

[samanthak2205]

do you actually read every comment you get?

[fallofautumndistro]

Yes.

[JBluver994]

..actually I've seen all the videos of whoever I subscribe...Lol Well...mostly...

Like

Charlie

Johnny

Alex

Vlogbrothers

WHATTHEBUCKSHOW

Etc.

Lol

[sk8punk777]

mondizzle fo shizzle my wizzle!

[SayHiToTheCamera]

You know, I actually watched every video of those I have subscribed to! It might be silly, but I don't allow myself to subscribe untill I've seen every single vid of that person in question... ;p hehe that is kinda weird isn't it?

[Anjaele]

SAME! But it takes a long time, and lately I've been subscribing if the oldest two pages are really enjoyable, but still watch the rest as I have time. But I completely agree with you, and it also allows you to watch them progress, and you can see more into who they are/were, and what changed. Its really facinating from several angles. *blushes* I almost went nerd on everyone and started spewing off about my facinations with things . . . sorry! But yeah, I do that as well :D

[SayHiToTheCamera]

haha I know! It takes sooo long! Sometimes it takes me weeks before I finally subscribe haha ;p

ahh well, that's my policy and I'm happy to stick to it ;p

[RedVolly]

Hey, great idea! :D

[luchilenium]

I always watch the back catalog of someone's vids if I like them. It's like if you're watching a TV showand you only see the new episodes, or you hear a song that you really like and then you find all these other fantastic older songs by the same band.

I've watched all of Charlie's, Alex's and Johnny's vids, and I am currently watching Alan's and Todd's. You awesome guys also got me onto vlogbrothers and five awesome girls, and I have now seen all of their videos too. This is all since July! 321

[TheJediNinja]

lol, I watch some of the old videos before I subscribe. Just to see how much they've changed. :)

[sevenamigops]

I've watched all of johnny's and charlie's vids

[TheItGirl16]

sounds like an awesome idea!!

I hardly ever watch old videos anymore.

[RadicalComedy]

Great idea Allan. I love to browse the older videos myself...Its always funny to me how so many people have updated their video equiptment too. Maybe there are more perfectionist than not. I certainly would love to be one of those...Oh, my pet-peeve...certainly or certaintly...Why? Those drive me nuts. Off on a tangent again,lol. ~Raven

[Kimbahley]

Great idea. I've only watched the entirety of vlogbrothers videos. I've been subscribing like crazy lately and haven't taken a lot of time to watch many of the older ones.

[popcornceilings]

I laughed at your "mondizzle"

[j3ss1ca333]

usually when i subsrcibe to a channel, i have to watch every single video that they have. maybe its just me..

[meandog34]

thats a really great idea!

[NJKjonas14]

ive watched all yours, charlies, and alexs oldies. i try and watch all the old videos of the people i subscribe too. cause im an awesome subscriber like that.

:) ilove5AG.

[jacklestein]

You must get a lot of emails. Thursday will probably be a looong day, especially if you're subscribed to nalts. I checked your page and you have 400 subscriptions! I have 87, and that's a lot for me, it was a lot back when I had 30! Smosh and the bdonski are the only youtubers who have over 10 videos whose videos I've watched all of. There are also secondary accounts that have just been opened, like lonsomerhodes1 and nericoustic, etc., but I'm not counting those.

[ItTakesII]

I know that when I went and watched all of the vlogbrothers video in July 2007 it was great. I like this campaign!

-Julian

[MajorlyAlexa]

i always watch all of my favorite youtubers videos, to see what they were like b4, and to get all of the inside jokes. i find it annoying when people don't, because then they only subscribed to the famous person, not the person who just loved to make videos for fun, and were entertaining even when not many people were watching

[tsorett]

...but my old videos are scary. O_o

Haha. Great idea, Allan. :)

[twoannoyinggirls]

I have a tendancy to watch all the old videos once I subsribe to someone, and I'd definately recommend doing it for anyone who doesn't :D

This is a good idea, it's always fun to see what people used to be like!

[newtri]

ive watched urs and charlies :D

[hannneth]

wow! thats such a great idea for the campaign youve got going on! i never knew that you read all the comments! off to watch some old videos... x

[fallofautumndistro]

Yup, I read every single one, on my channel.

[kakashiwithoutmask]

I've seen every video of everyone I've subscribed to. Time to subscribe to more!

[proceejo]

i would really luv to but i have tooooooo much homework

but i will def do it on Thursday or over the weekend

[Jenniferiffic]

I had no idea what vlogging was until around February, so when I found people like fiveawesomegirls and Charlie, I watched every single video. I was homeschooled and had free time like most people have pores on their skin. Good times. *cancels Saturday plans*

[kiyoshi85]

... I wish ppl would watch kittyissojokes...

I try to watch ppls vids.

[LucyLUNATIC]

Ive seen most of charlies

and most of yours

ly Alan

- Luciie xx

[CoolHandJohnny]

i totally relate to AayushiXx's enthusiasm. that's one of the reasons i love all you guys and almost always comment on your vids. cuz i know you actually read them! :)

and that's a really good idea. i'm gonna go watch some old vids now! :) <3

[MegaMuffin4568]

i do that all the time.

i see someone i like and watch some recent vids to make sure i like them, then i go back and watch ALL of them so i know their whole story/so i know their style a little more :)

[jimbobjun]

Im Going to watch all of the old fact of the days

[AayushiXx]

its nice to know you read all the comments :] x

[fallofautumndistro]

I love the comments!

[AayushiXx]

yay!! you replied :D

im going to watch your old videos now :]

[fiveisno1]

i go back and watch all the videos from all the channels i sub to...i did even yours...you saw me commenting...i was amazed that you commented back alan...that makes you awesome...more people should run there channels like you

[pandypie1]

Ive seen ALL of Charlie's videos when i first discovered him. Yeah, who doesnt think Charlie is cool like, and his theme song is ADDICTING!

Charlieisso charlieisso charlieisso cool LIIIIKE!!!!

[ElevatorShow]

The best part about your favorite channels is that there's so many videos that you haven't seen...WAY BACK in the day.

-Woody

[fallofautumndistro]

I think I've seen all of the elevator episodes. And I KNOW I've seen all of Zilch's stuff. I was the very FIRST subscriber to ZilchZone. =)

[megnut12]

When I first discovered Charlie, I went back and watched ALL of his videos haha. :)

*fangirl >_>

xD

[22ndCenturyJosh]

Yes! You rock.

[misslebillie]

great idea.:)

i think you guys are amazing..:D

love watchin you :) xx

[razie23]

Cool... ^^

[MayaWolf24]

Wonderful idea, Alan. I've usually watch all of the old videos incase there is a reference to something in a future video. I thought it was funny that you were talking about "Charlie before Nerimon". They've sorta become the dynamic duo of YouTube, haven't they?

[JerryJealousy]

see, im really really....lame. and i've seen EVERY video you, charlie, alex and johnny have made on your personal channels. and for todd, theres about 4 or 5 i havent seen. and i've been watching five awesome guys since guys first started...or maybe a week after but you get me. i think theres only about 3 people that im subscribed to that i havent seen all of there videos. i get so stuck into them that i sit for hours just watching. so...great campagne. i love just watching videos.get into it!=D

[pineapplesnickering]

very good idea!!! but i already watched all yxour videos^^ amdcharlies and alexes and johnnys

[RoxToxvideos]

great idea Alan :)

[BarryAldridge]

I really like this idea Alan, I may do that.

[GreenCristina]

"How To Get Featured on YouTube" was the first of Charlie's videos I saw (when it, ironically, got featured =P). That's what got me subscribed to him! And who would've thought that through that subscription I'd come to subscribe to Alex, then be introduced to fiveawesomeguys and discover you, Johnny and Todd! Point is: "How To Get Featured On YouTube" by Charlie = reason why I'm here today. =)

[smileokay]

i dont subscribe until I have watched all the videos

good idea :)

[iamally]

I love going back and watching old videos!

i go back and watch old 5AG videos a lot :D

nice idea alan !

[advancekid]

Generally, I don't subscribe until I watched all of the user's videos, which isn't particularly useful for channels like the vlogbrothers or fiveawesome channels (especially if you're late getting into them :S)

[Anglicain]

its good to only subscribe if you like the majority of a given persons videos, new and old...

seeing comments like "i subscribed for comedy not music" is a very annoying as alex had a huge portfolio of diverse videos( some might be removed due to partnership)

ps: bring back diversity alex! bring sexy back

[paisleypower30]

Haha it is nice to go back on some people, I need to do that with you Alan!

P.S. watch "Charlie is not a unicorn" :), and Alex's first five :) (that are still up anyway)

[maila89]

i usually go back and watch old videos of the ppl i subscribe too...i did that with the vlogbrothers, and charlie, and sxephil

[1001goals]

I love going back and watching old videos. I often watch old Nerimon videos, some of them I've seen 5 or 6 times because they amuse me so much.

[omgmhazzrocks]

mondizzle <3

I generally always go back and watch peoples old videos when I subscribe, but I think I may take part in this anyways ^_^

xxx

[fallofautumndistro]

mhazz! <3

[SiXELApurple]

I always go and see the old videos ; p

but great idea to get others to do it.

[unclesaboin]

I subscribed to Charlie right after he had deleted all his videos and put them back up. I saw his "How to Get Featured" video in the featured videos and that's how I found his channel. I watched all of his videos since, back then, I only had a few subscriptions. Now, I don't always go through all of someone's old videos since I have too many subscriptions to do that for every one of them.

[PerthPete1]

I regularly check and then progressively view, leaving comments along the way, the back catalogue of channels that I subscribe too.

[xMizZgUudY2shooZx]

i love watching old videos :D

[johnzsinferno]

how to get featured was the first one i saw and subed right after

[achampag]

great idea. who is this charlie?

[thoroughlymodernally]

If I subscribe to someone, I tend to go back and watch all their old videos.

After I started listening to VLR, I subscribed to RiverBasil and Jimmy0010 and went through ALL their videos.

I watched all of yours too. They we're great.

<333

[Minioats4Life]

having a video every other week just means girls are stronger, and more committed to projects.

[itsMARIKO]

Actually, I'm a major creeper when it comes to the people I'm subscribed to. I'm very choosy and whenever I find someone new that I like I usually watch ALL thier videos. This past June I watched all of the vlogbrothers and got caught up from january with the fiveawesome girls, you guys, etc.

[Ash9214]

thats exactly what I do x]

[courtneylynne92]

Ah! I always miss the live show :[ I have a band competition saturday.

[boymeetsworld5]

i'm going to watch all of the 5awesome guys pplz videos starting...NOW

[boymeetsworld5]

nice vid

[kylielovescole]

I did that, like, all day Sunday.lol. I'd already seen all of Charlie's videos & all of the five awesome guys videos, but I watched the rest of the five awesome girls videos I hadn't seen and it was AWESOME! Thanks for making a day for it, Alan!

[megagirl17]

I watched all the old vids from my subscriptions this last summer... it took forever but it's really fun to go through. Good Idea!

[Rapunzel2U]

I never subscribe to someone unless I'm seen every single video.

[hanbanbushbaby]

I like to watch older videos too! Its nice to get a fuller picture of a person i think. :)

[snotpokkit]

I used to go through everybody's old videos once I subbed. That was hard with Nalts but I did it!  At some point I had too many subs to keep up with the new stuff and watch all the old ones, but it's still fun to do when I have time.

[Kahleeea]

Snazzy idea Alan :D

Yusss Live Awesome Guys!

I'm so there!!

[optimisticrabbit]

I always watch every video before subscribing, I end up having all day marathons that end in a subscription

[JoyfulKittie]

I only subscribe to people if I really like them, and then I watch all their old videos.

[MistyMikoK]

when i subscribe i go back and watch every single video by the person

[stjohnyouth]

I do that too!

Then you can get in on all those inside jokes and stuff!

[charlienburson]

I almost never subscribe to someone until I've watched all their videos.

[MistyMikoK]

yeah if theres only one good one then you favorite it

[carmenriots]

Older videos are always my favorite

[VivIsFromCalifornia]

its mondizzle =]

[Magefire75]

Jimmy0010's old videos are so much better than the new ones.. I miss them

TRIFLE IS GOOD

[silverangel91900]

yay. i love to watch all the videos at once of colab channels cuz then u don't forget stuff. lol.

[theabnormal1]

...i always watch all the videos once i subscribe :)

[18whiterabbit]

That's a very good idea. kind of a tribute to how far they've come in the youtube community. I'm in!

[JEWTASTiiC]

yay, i watch old videos all the time :)

[EyeDunnoUHHH]

I always watch old videos.

[togetherbutlonely]

In the beginning when i joined YT,everytime i'd subscribe to someone i'd watch all their videos but now its really hard to make the time when you subscribe to someone new and they have loads of videos! but i'll definately try harder - just for you Alan! xXx

[PonedMuch]

smart dude. *clap clap*

[Enox66]

Awesome idea! this is going to be fun

[shwowzers]

man, thats a awesome idea.

lets to this shizzle

[dinosaurlover7]

thats a really good idea!!

[BreezyFilm]

great campaign idea! I have done the same thing where I have ben subscribed a while to someone and then later saw their older videos and they were great. My name is Breezy, and I approve this message.

[sritchie17]

yup gd vid

[angel19952262]

I totally agree! I sub to people if i see a video that I like,, and I never really watched the rest of their videos. Love it!

[JohnnyDurham19]

*mental note: go through old videos and delete all embarrassing ones before thursday xD

i think this is such a cool idea though alan, i'm looking forward to watching all of your guys older videos :D

[IIDinDonII]

yes johnny D!!! you are a legend!!!

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Johnny, looking forward to watching yours too!

[Trebuchet1221]

zomg alan

[Paddy104]

imagine asking that to someone who started watching vlogbrothers after brotherhood 2.0

oh wait... i did that and still watched all the videos (took like 2 days)

[hearlisasing]

haha, i miss the old charlie videos too :[ like take my mug and all the vlogs :[ like the time you opened your test results on camera! anyone remember that?

[Sanerist]

actually I watched almost all of Charlie's & Alex's videos before i subbed to them

[AriBezzina]

i agree there are alot of video's ive missed

[laurizee]

it's so weird that i have just gone through all of charlie's videos.. now i'm up to 113 or something on 5AG and i'm loving it all :) :) i hope you are all fine and dandy alan :) xxx

[ladydevil44]

I've sub'd to for a while now, but I've only watched the vid titles that catch my eye :P

Yay I love this idea!! <3

[MikeMarino]

I watch all the videos of people I like. This summer I went on little marathons and watched some of my favourite youtubers old and new videos.

I already went and seen Todd's, your's and Alex's videos. I'm still working through Johnny and Charlie's

[peesemould]

**BST

[noooreo]

whenever I subscribe to someone, I go back and watch allllll their old videos. Sadly, Alex hasn't re-uploaded his older vids which he took down :(

[EnglebertKiwi]

I actually watch every movie people have out currently, before I subscribe. Because I don't feel I should subscribe to people when I haven't watch all of them. It took me a while to get by vlogbrothers when I subscribed to them in.. January 08 I think.. :) SO WORTH IT :D

[realism18]

I agree.

I watch old videos when I subscribe to a new person and comment.I've noticed that most videos made when people weren't so big are that they're so genuine. They're more REAL and you can really see why they're perfect for the partnership thingie..maybe that's just me but I really have noticed that some youtubers who have made it BIG don't bother so much with videos any more.

:/

[kevincool65]

I heart Charlie very much, but his newer videos aren't like his old ones. I miss the old Charlie vids...And that's a great idea Alan. Thumbs up.

[Sareuhface]

i love how Nerimon was an event in charlie's youtube career

[fallofautumndistro]

LOL yeah

[QueenOfR0ck]

I've been subscribed to the guys channel and the girls channel since it first was made, so I guess I'll be more 're-watching videos' except for watching videos I never seen before. I seen all Johnny's videos so yeah... :P
