  • Circular breathing.

  • I can't believe you guys didn't win with all this scientific advice

  • charlie. vlogbrother. wheezy waiter. tobuscus. vsauce. vsauce2 + much much more

    youtube is taking over me.

  • @StillBreathingMDP Probably. Maybe they have a conference.

  • Unless my high school science teacher was way wrong, you're not hyper-oxygenating your blood when you do that. The urge to breathe is signaled when you accumulate too much CO2 in your blood, not when you have too little oxygen. The reason you take a bunch of deep breaths and blow them out in preparation for breath-holding or extended vocalization is because that gets rid of a lot of CO2 in a small amount of time, delaying the "breathe or you will die" feeling.

  • Does every awesome person on the internet know each other?

  • What if I circular breathe? Technically, my super note never stops, but I still get to breathe. Contest? PWND.

  • I had to re-watch this multiple times because I am continually distracted by the question: Is that Darth Vader behind him?...

  • I gave my super note to Wheezy Waiter, I didnt watch the vlogbrothers back then... And we won WOOHOO BEARDLOVERS FTW. Also, I came back to watch the vlogbrother videos cuz im glad I started watching them =P and stuff!

  • Hehe............. keppler 22-b reference(:

  • wow i seem to get lots of top rated comments of vlogbrothers videos...which is hilarious to me, since in real life no one cares what i have to say!

  • Actually, my Dad can SIMULTANEOUSLY breathe in and out. He's an oboe player. So I guess that helps

  • @OwlCityFan26 me too. me too. :D

  • Inhaling is what keeps you from being a dead person.

  • I've realized that Hank is a very sexy person. Ah, is this what being a nerdfighter means? To have seemingly pointless revelations? I guess not...

  • So like...hyperventilate first? :/

  • @chexmixultimate No, hyperventilation actually deoxygenates your blood. You want to breathe very deeply, not very quickly; the more dissolved oxygen you have in your blood when you start, the longer you'll be able to breathe.

    The More You Know ~*

  • millipedes are like...??? what does his shirt say aaah

  • Gotta say, Jeff Mangum must have a HUGE lung capacity. Seriously, go listen to In The Aeroplane Over The Sea and try to sing along to some of his parts. It's pretty difficult, not to mention, he's almost always singing very loud.

  • @pbjellybeanful I think we should make a giant quote book of all the wonderful things they say!

  • I can hold my breath for 2 minuets. I want to do this now! D:

  • @LoyalFreak4ever Wow. I can only hold mine for 13-18 seconds.

  • Hank. You are so weird.

  • @trogdor1041 What else is knew? Weird is awesome.

    P.S. Do you come in the niiiiiiight?

  • "You're body is telling you to breath, but just don't....You'll be fine..." LOL

  • @noahandthewhale1001 should be on a shirt.

  • @pbjellybeanful hahahah YES! I would so buy that

  • @noahandthewhale1001 Same! They're just experts at saying things that should eventually be on a shirt. I think nerdfighteria should just design a whole shirt with lots of quotes on it!

  • Crap. I wish I could do this noooow! I have the lungs of a GOD! :D

  • Well, thank God there weren't any circular-breathing, wind instrument-playing nerdfighters participating in this. Or were there?

  • CURSE YOU ASTHMA!!!!

  • Did anyone else notice the TMBG reference in the description?

  • "And I even like his mole"

    Hahaha that's adorable.

  • I would like to tell you that I just started to watch your videos last week and your parents must be proud; but you should correct your definition of what inhaling is. I am only suggesting this because you last week were asking that people try more while thinking before speaking and you seemed to forgotten your own speech(as beings like us do at times) But you are projecting your thoughts to thousands at a time and in my book means that you should be held at a higher level then most. Thanks<3

  • I WANT YOUR T-SHIRT

  • My birthday is a day before charlie's.

  • my two favorite things-vlogbrothers and charlie-combined. <3

    yes, i am a nerd.

    but that is not frowned upon in nerdfighteria :D

  • @OwlCityFan26 and you're an owl city fan!!!

  • As my old music teacher would have said... Breath from the diaphragm... :-D

  • @BlueAntimatter **Breathe.** :-) "Breath" ("breth") is a noun, while "breathe" ("breethe") is a verb.

  • I love that Charlie's birthday is two days before mine :)

  • 186,000th view

  • I'm stoked about this year's supernote because I didn't participate in the last one! Yet, I'm nervous because I'm a smoker. :-/

  • hmmm...well i shall go into extensive research cos i am sure that that can't be right /: it just doesn't seem feasible, cos the more oxygen you have in your environment the bigger the animals there are, and there was so much oxygen millions of years ago that there were dragonflies bigger than us!!!! so i don't see how an animal from this era could be bigger than one from back then /:

  • instead of my gums tingling, i've been going through a hysterical laughing fit for the last 5 minutes..... i officially get high off of air, and i was also watching hank's "katniss everdeen makeup tutorial" so that might have helped

  • My friends b-day is 16 days after Charlies b-day

  • ..........did he just say that the blue whale is the largest animal ever to have lived on our planet?......I am disappointed in you Hank Green *shakes head*

  • @RealisticShelf it is, at the very least in terms of mass. one of the largest none dinosaurs was only half of the weight of a blue whale.

  • @EightTobiins known* hey dyslexia.

  • @EightTobiins well that is just not true /: dinosaurs were humongous and some of them could well have been bigger and heavier than the blue whale, but then if you look at the sea animals from back then O_O dude there are animals like three times the size of the blue whale! and anyway the largest animal on our planet isn't the blue whale, it's the whale shark /: but yeah blue is heavier than that guy

  • @RealisticShelf whale sharks are about 40 feet in length and weighs in about 40,000~47,000 pounds, the blue whale can be up to 108 feet in length (33 meters) and can weigh in about 396,000 pounds (180 metric tons).

    and according to the wiki "it is the largest known animal to have ever existed."

  • @EightTobiins wiki? wikipedia? well in that case i wouldn't believe it, try and find an scientific archive on species or something instead of a site that can be accessed and edited by anyone

    but thanks for the deets on the whales and stuff =]

  • @RealisticShelf I can't send links on comments, but if you go to extreme science's website or watch discovery channel or have taken 3rd grade science you would find this. I was in a marine biology camp for 5 years. I promise you that the blue whale is the biggest animal to have ever lived. Promise.

  • I can do the supernote for almost 3 mins. YAY FOR PLAYING THE TUBA IN MARCHING BAND!!!! :D

  • It's actually not physically possible for a human to fill his or her lungs all the way. NERD OUT!

  • did they really find that plannet, or what that a HURTING joke

  • Look down.

  • I'm sorry.Please tell me what your shirt says.It's killing me.:-)

  • Hank, you make me wanna learn to be a musically inclined person. X3

  • My brother's 5 days older than Chalie and is named Charles. haha

  • HEHEHE i was born 7 years after charlie... exactly... :D

  • Spoiler: Wheezy Waiter wins the supernote

  • ....and i even like his mole!....

    Lol ^_^

  • nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooote!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • the shirt: Millipedes are like 10 times-

    WHAT?!

  • @dolphin64575 Millipedes are like 10 times..... better than centipedes :)

  • Just wondering: If you guys HAD won Supernote, to which brother would the Iron Lungs trophy have gone?

  • Things like this make me wish I could do circular breathing...

  • right, so i think i breathed to deeply cuz i kinda feel like i'm about to pass out...

  • Hyperventilating before breath holding is a bad idea. That kills breath hold divers you know, because they pass out and subsequently drown. So unless you would like nerdfighteria to pass out I would not suggest doing that.

  • @SubtlyDifferent He was talking about deep breathing though.

  • i have a question seriously why is charlie so famous??? i dont get it his first video was making a cup of tea

  • @Ognomik Fangirls.

  • @Ognomik That wasn't even nearly his first video.

  • I went with Team Beard this year It was hard to choose between all my favorite youtubers. I wasn't even a nerdfighter back then.

  • Fruit Ninja!

  • I love your shirt.

  • I can hold my breath, cut it down, and sing it out for a really long time... singing and playing trumpet for four years FTW!

  • It's hard to believe that at the time he was making this video I was subscribed to Weezy, Charlie, and Alex, but those were my only nerdfighter influences. Oh how times have changed.

  • I, unfortunately, did not go Team Nerd for the Supernote contest this year. I went Team Beard.

    But I think the Nerdfighters can forgive that, right?

  • @regularguy5mb I think so I went for Livelavalive. John and Hank are cool like that ;)

  • me supernote is one second less than hank's... grr.

  • While he was doing his super note he was playing fruit ninja, I have that game on my iPad!

  • @Vlogbrothers well, there are some people who can circular breathe, meaning they can do the supernote FOREVER. My friend, Micheal, can Circular Breathe, and luckily he's my neighbor. You breathe through your nose at the same time playing an instrument or saying something. Most people don't know they're doing it. RESEARCH IT.

  • Actually when people are being suffocated they die from carbon dioxide build up rather than depletion of oxygen 

  • "if you haven't already subscribed to him...I don't believe you" HAHA! seriously made me lol

  • Go, go, go, go, go, go

    Go, Charlie

    "It's your birthday

    We gon' party like it's your birthday

    We gon' sip Bacardi like it's your birthday

    And you know we don't give a fuck

    cause it's not your birthday!" -Happy Birthday, From: 50 Cent

  • i almost passed out

  • :O he's playing fruit ninja!

  • GO TEAM NERD!!!!

  • And INHALING just so happens to be the thing that keeps you from beinga dead person.

  • "...charlieissocoollie if you haven't already subscribed to him..........i don't believe you" lol

  • While he was telling me how to do a good supernote I was attempting to hold my breath... that doesn't work when he's talking about breathing....

  • wth mine wasnt counted!

  • "In which Hank announces that Charlie is older than he's ever been and now he's even older"

    They Might Be Giants reference FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    TMBG = my favorite band!

  • i made my supernate like 3 weeks ago and it still hasn't been counted. I understand that it takes time for the officials to count them but the newer ones are getting counted and mine isn't.

  • Thanx for the tips but beard team ftw!

  • HOW DO YOU VIDEO RESPONSE!?!?!? AHHHHHHHH. i have a video uploaded to my channel. but I don't know how to make it a response.

  • @tricialamb click within the comment box to add a comment, and then click on the link that says “attach a video”.

  • hahah TMBG quote in the pants bar!

  • I genuinely dislike how all the nerdfighters made supernotes for team Beard. I mean, I get that it's almost the same people for both of them, but I was always under the impression that nerdfighters supported.. well, nerdfighters.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's wrong that they'd support someone else -- I was just expecting it to be half/half, but it's more like 90% Beard.

  • STOP SUPPORTING TEAM BEARD! PLEASE!

  • Hahaha in my video response my voice is doing some funky things... I think I'm getting sick or something.

  • TMBG QUOTE IN THE DOOBLY DOO. YES.

  • i already supernoted for team beard, sorry.. no im not

  • It would be really awesome if everyone could pull together and win this! We're in 8th, but I know Nerdfighteria, and we can totally still do it. Nerdfighters have been responsible for some amazing things. My supernote COMPLETELY sucks, but I uploaded anyway.

  • Oops 4got to subscribe to Mr Mac Donnell but I check him out once in a while anyhow. Meanwhile, if Supernote was started by ye, vlogbrothers, it become cooler.

  • WHAT DOES HIS SHIRT SAY!?!?!

  • @bestbud11d7

    "Millipedes Are Like 10 Times Better Than Centipedes" =]

  • GO TEAM NERD!

  • Thanks for the help...GO TEAM BEARD!

  • @xSaranghaeyo And they fight for nerds (not against nerds), like a freedom fighter ;D

  • thumbs up if you felt your gums tingle

  • from 0:22 to 1:05, not bad. Well done Hank Green. Also, I tried the Super note training number 3 point, and I did not feel my gums tingle, I felt a frigging brain blackout, I got such a headache from that >.>

  • GO TEAM NERD!

    It's so hard to be me, I must choose between the Nerds and the Beards! What do!?

  • @Thanquee well... If you think about it, team beard got their turn right? So let's give the nerds a chance to win! ;D it'll help fight against worldsuck you know

  • TEAM NERD!!!

  • I play the flute...so i have big lungs! :D

  • I finally figured out how to post a video response on "new"Tube.

  • CHARLIE IS SO CHARLIE IS SO CHARLIE IS SO COOL LIKE :D

    i found him before i found the vlog brothers and a few days later i found out about them...without knowing charlie was aware of them....i feel awesome :) lol

  • @CreationsEpic loll u realise he doesnt have that intro anymore

  • can someone explain what a nerdfighter is? (yes i'm a n00b)

  • HA BIIIIISSSSSSSKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAYY­YYYYYYYYYY-

  • i was subscribed to charliissocoollike but now his videos are crap

  • Comment removed

  • i figured you would try with "and a giant tub of vaseliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine­" seems like you have gone longer going against John :)

  • also tense your abdominal muscles to hold a longer note ;D

  • GO TEAM NERD!

  • .... My family has large lung capacity...

    AND.. I've been playing bagpipes for 6 years... So this should be fun.

  • WHAT ARE MILIPEDES LIKE???????????

  • I think a professional Didgeridoo player would be the best at doing a Supernote, considering they can breathe in their nose and breathe out of their mouth at the same time. Which is pretty awesome.

  • oh my gosh my gums actually started tingling! it felt weird . . .

  • everybody's supernotes are amazing :)! good job people :))

  • He is playing Fruit Ninja......while saying oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooo

  • inhaling is the thing that keeps you from being a dead person. no shit sherlock holmes

  • it's annoying that he can't make direct EYE CONTACT with the camera that is US! He's probably looking at that camera flop screen -_-

  • hi just i just went to the site. longest note is only 117.3 seconds long. too shoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oort. yeah lots of o's. so yeah i will join your team tomorrow. you guys rock. oh yeah. before i forget only 200 charatcters loeft. wait there is less now. ok i will make response video tomorrow and post it on there. i used to be in choir so i know i can help you win. oh yeah. go vlogbrothers. by the way i hope u win.

  • Sounds somewhat like Hank needs to tune his 'uke.

  • Don't hypervenilate at 0:16

  • I WANT YOUR SHIRT!

  • HAAAAA BISKY!!!!!!!

  • I absoluteley love charlie McDonnel

  • oh, and the gum(?) tingling is a sign that your blood is chaning it's pH-Value. which is NOT GOOD

    (your hands can also tingle)

  • This is of course not very uncommen and you should be fine most of the time... Just watch out please :)

  • Part 2 :P

    This is because your breathing-in reflex is triggered by the amount of CO2 in your blodd. Since you lowered this amount, you can hold your breath longer.

    However, you still have the same amount of O2 in your body. Can yo usee the problem here? This reflex exists for a good reason: It tells us where the "safe mark" is. After that, you may get problems, such as falling unconscious because your brain doesnt get enough oxygen

  • Did you know that hyperventilating quickly could lead to your death?

    It does help you suppress the reflex, however it is a bad idea ^^ Also, hyperventlilating DOES NOT HYPEROXYGENATE YOUR BLOOD. It already is saturated under normal circumstances (okay, 98%). The ONLY THING it does is to lower your level of CO2 in the blodd, since you breath it out quicker.

  • Only you could make breathing complicated and nerdy...

  • Hank you must also address the fact that we live in the mountains where we have significantly thinner air than those who live in lower altitudes.

  • I wish I watched this before recording my supernote. I notice that your team average is one of the best. Good job with giving out tips like that.

  • GO TEAM NERD! !

  • Kenny G should participate.

  • Dear fellow Nerds.

    I'm abandoning you in this Super note challenge

    I apologise for your loss in advance

    -Nathaniel

    P.S Go Team Beard!

  • @Kiwinil Go Team Beard!!! :D

  • "Don't breathe, you'll be fine." This the best advice ever given... EVER. GO TEAM NERD! :)

  • You could circular breathe. Then you would be inhaling while exhaing...O3O

  • TEAM STACHE!!!!!!

  • lol, team nerd, I'm gonna have to dust off my video camera now.

  • Can't do supernote because my mic doesn't recognize a noise after it's been on hold for about fifteen seconds (trust me, I've tried changing pitches and everything) :(

  • did anyone else here "this is illegal" and think "Really? I've totally done that before, woops" and then relize that he was talking about supernote and feel like an idiot, because for a second there I was wondering if making that sound released dangerous narcotics in your brain or something

  • I don't feel my gums tingling, I just feel kinda dizzy...

  • @NZnerdfighterpwnsyou maybe! your soooo subconsiously dizzy that the tinglyness of your gums is like super micro-scopicly small.... sorry just needed to get that out

  • Wait, wait, wait! You can't just mention a planet like that at the end and not tell us about it!

  • is using slow-mo illegal?

  • You're so funny.

    And we're GOING TO WIN because you taught us the science behind supernoting. Like a nerd. <3

  • Hey thanks! I'm gonna use these tips to join Team Beard!

  • GO TEAM NERD!

  • Finally! I've been watching every vlogbrother's video since the beginning for like a month now and I'm finally caught up.

    Now what?

  • Ha biskyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy *hand movements* yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyy * let it trail off FOREVER * yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyy
