  • Strangely I had a feeling something like this would happen...

  • I'm surprised that it didn't scare me, I think it had something to do with the dot

  • I didn't even flinch when it happened, I was sort of in a mesmerized state thanks to the dot.

  • nice I totally got trolled, but I actually did not even get scared...

  • I knew it. You troll. 

  • Sometimes those really freak me out. That one, I was like, "Oh." I was REALLY concentrating on that dot lol. You did a good simulation there, especially getting the sound to play at random times and I was like, "I can feel psychology working!!!"

  • Not the worst one of those I've ever seen, honestly. I mean... it's just a cat. It's not like it's a zombie or anything.

  • I didn't even blink. I believe this has something to do with the fact that it's four-thirty in the morning (for me, not ridiculously late, but late enough that I'm beyond caring about anything enough to be scared by it).

  • ya i just burst out laughing... you really scare me!

  • I think I'm getting jaded... that made me laugh out loud. As if my roommates didn't already think I'm crazy.

  • I screamed at my laptop "AHH, YOU SON OF A BITCH." sorry hank

  • MADE MY LIFE

  • I so saw it coming XD

  • i had headphones on. So that was not at all pleasant.

  • I was skeptical from the start of this "science" project lol.

  • Ohhhh. My. Lord.

  • It didn't fase me at all

  • I jumped a little, but I didn't freak out and pee myself

  • ahahah..i didnt got scared..WOOHOO

  • i didn't get scared at all...whoo!

  • I never realized that hank moves his hands with every single word he says XD

  • did that song ever happen?

  • it startled me a bit,but I sure didnt jump :P Pwnd

  • Sorry, Hank. I played along at first, but then I started getting suspicious and smelling a screamer, so I paused it and moved the bar to the point where you were back laughing at us. Haha, good one though! :)

  • I actually measured out a foot from my monitor before I realized I was about to be pwned.

  • dude, I have an older brother who screams at me while I'm walking up the stairs in the dark.

    You CANNOT shock scare me.

    xD

  • AHHHHHH!!

  • Not scared! Noob! :D

  • funny but that didn't scare me. that also with very mean but i am glad the vlog brothers did it. angry faces

  • Great. Now I have a video of myself getting scared by a picture of a cat.

  • Without your glasses, you look a lot like NPH

  • that was funny because I wasnt taping myself. I never jump at those, but I always get really warm. like my spine heats up. good thing in winter. not so much summer. so thanks xD

  • Despite it being 23 months later, and having watched the video before, I still followed that little red dot.

    And I still jumped. Thanks Hank :/

  • Never. Again. This is why I stopped watching BlackBoxTV in the dark... :P

  • I'm on my iTouch and I'm supposed to be sleeping, my dad is in the next room so I'd be grounded for life if it wasn't for the fact that he's a heavy sleeper....

    My heart is still racing. Gawd dammit Hank, its not even Halloween anymore...

  • Okay, so, Dr. Horrible just did the Nerdfighter Hand Signal.

    Awesome.

    Really Awesome.

    LEGEN

    WAIT FOR IT

    DARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You are pretty much the only people I would ever forgive for doing that. Mostly because screamers make my body tingle and shut down in the fetal position, and then it takes me about 5 minutes to bring it back together. You'd be on my shit list if you didn't teach me about nuclear energy.

  • I am never watching another vid

  • I actually really like the idea of the experiment. While I'm being lazy and not reading all the comments from the past two years, did anybody actually take the videos and look at the eye movements? If not, I might know a lab that would!

  • Bastard! BASTARD!!!!

  • Then whose Captain Hammer??? O.o

  • @BatmansFavoriteGirl his brother, obviously ;D

  • @secretagentmann9 :)!!!!!!!!

  • @secretagentmann9 But penny.... hey wait!! Katherine is Penny!! Ekk... or maybe the yeti.. since... oh im confused...

  • HANK! You scared me. >:(

    But I love you anyway.

  • ... I hate you (I'm kidding... But really... That wasn't very nice...)

  • that was the worst screamer ever =P (I haven't seen one in a while though)

  • Did he ever right that song?

  • Gosh I hate you Hank.

    I thought this was for real!

    Though I shouldn't have let my guard down since I knew there was smt screaming at the end (since commenters had posted abt it)

    I wonder what you'll do this year =P

  • I hate screamers. I trusted the vlogbrothers not to make one and they let me down...

    Jk this was awesome.

    DFTBA

  • that did not scare me at all...lqtm...

  • WTF at the end....?????DX

  • 3:03

  • Respond to this video... false. there was fright.

  • @redjasper13 it took me until 1:59 to figure it out...*sigh* i feel so behind. at least i wont be scared, right?

  • Aw man, now this chest pain that I went to A&E for has got worse again. I don't wanna have those heart monitors back on, thanks hank! :P

  • I woke up at 6 and watched this! I sure as hell am awake now!

  • ... What if I wasn't scared? >.>

  • Too bad I couldn't record myself watching this. I didn't jump or anything. I feel like such a badass.

  • if you don't look too close, he looks like neil patrick harris.

  • mean:( lol

    

  • I should have known it was a screamer...but I just didn't expect it from you, Dr. Hanky Horrible.

  • I WAS ON SHROOMS AND I FELT MYSELF GETTING EATEN!!!!!!!

  • I knew that was gonna happen. Tsk tsk hank, so cliche. But you're a very good liar. 

  • Anyone else think Hank turns unbelieveably hot when he takes his glasses off? It might also be that his hair is all messy and cute :)

    He is still good looking with the glasses though, don't get me wrong :P

  • You're mean!

  • holy crap, Hank! Times like these I wish I had a camera, the look on my face must've been priceless.

  • Is it weird that I feel the need to point out that Dr Horrible's gloves were white...

    But it's Hank, so it's awesome anyway!!!

  • Totaly fell for that!

  • All I did was give the camera a confused look XD

  • Why I oughta....!! Lol you guys are the best!

  • I was waiting for it, and waiting for it, and waiting for it, and waiting f-GAH!

  • I can't say I didn't see that coming, but good one.

  • JERK!

  • more startling than scary, but that was pretty bril. should have seen it coming, with the whole 'get really close part' and just coming so soon after videos on hoaxes, and the general 'trick' aspect of All Hallows Eve in the US.

  • I jumped. ;)

  • I thought it was gonna be the grudge girl, but cats dont scare me! >:D

  • I really wish I had set up my camera. You could see me NOT be scared by a cat. Nice try though.

  • Well... that was mean... though I jumped a lot less than I would normally to something like that... odd... must have been the cat.

  • ADORABLE.

  • That scared the crud out of me. o.o

  • THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO MEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN­NNNNNNNNNN

  • Yep. I definitely squeed when I saw Hank as Dr. Horrible.

  • @FruitLoopErika Dude, I didn't think I could be any more of a Hank fangirl.

    And then I saw this.

  • @FruitLoopErika metwo..!! o.o

  • Wow, I don't think I jumped at all. That surprises me.

  • Lol i only got surprised a teeny bit

  • The first time I saw this, I didn't know about dr. Horrible D:

  • i gave hank the bird the second i recovered from the initial shock. and now i feel really bad.

  • WAIT!!! THIS VIDEO WASNT FOR SCIENCE! THERE IS NO DR. WHATS-HER-FACE! WHAT!

  • Haha, I didn't watch the rest because I knew what was coming even before I read the comments.

  • I wasn't expecting this (because I believed you, pshhhh), but I wasn't scared either. Which is interesting, because I'm a very jumpy person.

  • I got scared crapless by one of these a couple years ago. As soon as I saw the dot I freaked out and fast-forwarded ... Good thing, too.

  • i was watching and then i was like.....this has nothing to do with my ears, my eyes are just following the red dot. then i felt like someone was behind me and got freaked out and right then THEFRAKINGCATAPPERED. and i was like HOLYSHITWHATTHEFU, so double scare....that wasnt nice hank. lol xDD

  • Called it x]

  • Wasn't expecting that, but it didn't surprise me either...

  • Hank, you just increased world suck by 1.293754834564963469464374639% with that trick

  • As someone who studies science I could tell from this guy's description of the research alone that this was not going to be in the least bit scientific. I also figured that this "Dr. Suzanne Martin" should be ashamed of herself for trying to collect data like this. Then I saw it was just a prank, and not even a very clever one. Well, the disappointment passes, and the rest of us can go back to actually doing science.

  • at the end of this video i thought to myself "wait what about the science experiment?" and then i face palmed myself. it's been a slow day for me.

  • WOW. I AM GULLIBLE.

  • i skipped ahead, but then i saw the cat and i was wondering what that was supposed to be, and i looked at the comments but i STILL decided to play it -_- and it's midnight, too!

  • fuck you hank

    i did not expect that

  • I am sleep deprived, so am a bit slow and didn't see it coming, and officially hate you :)

    <3

  • SHIT I knew that was going to happen.

  • at least the cat may have genevitous. how ever you spell that. and at least dr horrible is like pie, or at least how his sing along blog says, his first layer is nice, second is evil and third like the first is nice. at least just kills people/ terrifies them. im jumping enough from those other damned eye illusions thing, s in the beginning i was like there better not be a screamer at the end of the video. seriously man not cool. you sir forgot to be awesome.also FRENCH THE LLAMAS SPAMMING TIME!

  • hahahahahahaha hank had i been recording that you would have seen me throw my laptop to the other side of my couch frantically getting the earbuds out of my ears, sadly that is hard with the full length of the ear buds out. and hank i frakkin hate cats they always attack me bite and claw as my mom tells me they wont. and they just have evil eyes!! LOOK INTO THREI EYES AND TELL ME THEY ARE NOT STARING AT YOUR SOUL!!!!!!!! TELL ME!!!!!

  • The first noise the cat made I was like "meh" then suddenly a realised what had happened and the jump was more of a 'dang I spaced out again, wake up!'

    Yay for delayed reactions!

  • My brother dressed up as Dr. Horrible for Halloween this year. He just got cooler.

  • Ahhhh. Oh my gosh. xD Dang it, Hank! It's like 2:30 AM and I'm in my room and it's dark and stuff and THAT scared the HECK out of me! xD I totally fell for it. I was all, "Awesome! Nerdfighters for science! :D" And then I was all, "AKHSDGJAG WHAT IN THE-" and then I realized what had just happened.

  • HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHA­!!!!!

    Oh my god, that was amazing!

    I think I flicked you off longer than anyone else after that!

  • Hank totally hoaxed us.

  • whatever happened to the song you said you were going to write about these?

  • Spoiler Alert: ITS A SCREAMER AND A JOKE.

  • as soon as i started the video and he said "good morning john" i had to pause it and laugh for like 2 minutes because you look hilarious XD

  • YOU PEOPLE ALL HAVE TO LEARNNNN

    THIS WORLD IS GOING TO BURN

    BURN

    Yeah that's two r's...h o r r...

    That's what this reminded me of. :)

  • You actually look somewhat like Dr. Horrible without your glasses on.

  • is this a screamer? Im not going to watch the rest. Silly hank.

  • Didn't really scare me much. It just made me laugh lot. Heheh.

    It's not very nice to take advantage of the helpfulness of Nerdfighters though TT^TT

  • DR. HORRRRRIIIIBBBLLLLEEEEEEE :DDDDDD (<-- is a total Dr. Horrible nerdfighter...) and whats funny this is a year later and guess what I'm going as for halloween? Dr. Horrible hahaha My friends and I are all going as evil people... one's going as bad horse :D

  • I FUCKING knew it!!

    Hank, I wasn't a nerdfighter in October 2009. But I will not watch your next video.
