"So they can get REAL close" oh, I lol'd

[lycanwolf26]

Levithan Williamson

[dasterdlychease]

No story that begins with "So we acquired a few fireworks..." is going to be dull

[personifyingchaos]

Black face paint? I am disappoint, John Green. Shadows in daytime, black, nighttime, dark, dark, dark blue. Black leaves a silhouette. I am very, very disappoint.

[synchrogirl978]

"If you even come to my house their will be legal reprocussions." What if I brought cake?

[Iamthemaster2]

Note to self: Don't let off fireworks near John Green's house!

[sammiemagoo2]

I love this story!!

[NinjaWieldingLimes]

Am I the only one who, when John says "hero of the day", is reminded of the Backin' Up song?

[Graycloak]

Lionheart Williamson

[lilfluteninja620]

Ludwig Williamson

[xtuber25]

Can anyone explain to me one thing... so the fireworks prank was pulled in John's freshman year, but the stripper prank was pulled in his senior year? So there wasn't a fake prank?

[michelleh18]

@xtuber25 Both happened his senior year. the Fireworks were the "Fake Senior Prank" before the stripper incident. I was confused too...

DFTBA

[NateDoesStuff]

Longwood Williamson.

...too porn-like?

[FlargTheKitty]

LEEEEEEROY WILLIAMSON!!

In the future, he will score occasionally.

[MrChrismanning]

Episode 11: the beginning of Bald John Green and Other John Green's openly gay relationship.

[HaleyHeartsPiink]

Fireworks are defiantly illegal in Georgia. It sucks. A lot.

[SuperYumyum8]

loser williamson

[Scorpsed]

I enjoy these videos so much! :D

[yourworstnightmar231]

didn't they do the same thing for the pre-prank in looking for alaska?

[JilleyWillyNilly]

@yourworstnightmar231

sort of... the fire crackers were just to get the Eagle away, they didn't put them under all the teacher's windows, either.

(But yes, I do think he used the general idea in "Looking for Alaska")

[purplejoj]

LAFOOFLE WILLIAMSON!!!!

[TheFlamingBlok11]

LaDiamond Williamson

[megakila14]

I wonder if John knew Daniel Alarcon since they went at the same time.

[zakkmiester]

Latin teachers.

[PJSproductions97]

Someone tell me, what's a hat trick?

[Sliv20]

@PJSproductions97 When you get three goals in a single game. When it happens in hockey the fans throw their hats onto the ice, but I'm not sure if that came first or if the name did.

[niland121]

Luscious Williamson

[theblackplagues]

Luigi

[bansribb]

I thought I was getting really specific deva ju until you said you mentioned it in Paper Towns *phew!*

[spursrock2121]

Did Hank go to Indian Springs?

[sighcantthinkofaname]

@spursrock2121 According to Wikipedia, Hank went to Winter Park. It's in Orlando. I go to their rival school XD

[BellaSolveig]

Or La-a, pronounced ladasha

[BellaSolveig]

Lawrence

[coramonster]

You know I don't even care about the game, I hate sports, but I watch just to hear Johns stories. :)

[rcsugar]

Ludicrous WIlliamson.

Also, why did you go to boarding school?

[gleekyleek]

Lemon Williamson? (Hank would probably like that one.)

[earlandbob]

Leonard.

[sk8rdman]

Lars Williamson

[lotrfrk16]

Lando Williamson.

[Airstrip19]

Leonardo Williamson.

He's lean, he's mean,

He isn't named John Green

Leonardo, Leonardo.

[ashleyadventurous105]

[aliveandtyping]

Comparing this to the version you told when you were younger is very interesting.

Other John Gre-en, other John Gre-en...

[lllRyan]

Lonnie Williamson

[Jaredsellick]

I love how you refer to us like we are your students. DON'T EVER COME TO MY HOUSE

[Jaredsellick]

Lunatono Williamson

Llama Williamson. No question.

[TheMythicalFox]

Ooooooohhh... Teenagers. lol

[musikfanatic81]

[Catobleman]

Llama Williamson. He's a Frenchman.

[longse0]

L is for Lilibet (nickname of Q Elizabeth I)

[PuppyThief]

Lars Williamson!!

[nicciweasley]

Aaahahaha! Forgot the black face paint! ^_^

[nicciweasley]

Latin teacher sounds a bit like Filch...

[lostismyconstent]

Thumb it if you've heard the not-PG version of this! :)

[ZacharyMostDays]

Llama (French the) Williamson

[Takemetopigfarts]

Leefferashmu

[AleccioByas]

He looks a bit like a Liebermann Williamson, but that may just be me. Or a Lars. He's got a bit of a Lars vibe about him.

[Squirrelygirl98]

Ludwig

[bellea92]

LEFROY

[FrozenOcean13]

LLAMA ZAMA DING DONG ... Williamson

[rayzars]

Lolerskates Williamson

[cryptkeeper5]

Sometimes when I hear you tell these stories about your pranks I feel kind of sad that I never really had the audacity required to pull off such feats, but I feel somewhat comforted by the knowledge that I would have been expelled by my school in a heartbeat for even a single firework.

[drizzletohurricane]

His name shall be Luis Williamson. And we shall be the best of friends. 

[cmwqt]

you took Latin? John Green, you just got so much cooler in my book (if that is possible)

[SilverSkyeStarlight]

Talk about you and Hank as kids.

[greggshouse]

Lobsterface Williamson

[tunagirl12]

Did that goalkeeper do the splits?

[SAMZonday]

Lancelot Williamson

[ummmcookiesRAWR]

wasn't that prank a trick to trick the teachers so that they wouldn't expect the stripper prank?

[ayumihamano]

I've heared this prank in another video but this is awesome.

[AliJDB]

Bald John Green and Other John Green are listed on Swindon Town FCs wikipedia page :L It actually made me lol.

And I'd quite like to hear you talk about fatherhood, becoming a father, etc. Whatever doesn't break the not-too-much-talking-about-Hen­ry rule :D

[Zhiperser]

Lionel.

[gwenopeno91]

I love the word Swoodlipoopers. It is 100% awesome!

[redrussia7]

Like someone else said, talk about your reaction when you first got published :3

[xangie8204]

aw man, there goes my plan for this weekend. I was totally planning on coming to your house and setting off fireworks..

[xangie8204]

talk about pizza. 

[Prickley71394]

He doesn't have a puff,

But he is all that!

He doesn't have a mustache,

But he's a Lucas whom is fat!

Fat Lucas! Fat Lucas!

[Prickley71394]

As agile as a foal,

he's a savior in the goal.

D. Lucas! D. Lucas!

[Prickley71394]

I want to hear about who Alaska Young, Lindsey Lee Wells, Margo Roth Spiegelman, and your new character (Hazel, I believe?) is inspired by.

[AttackoftheLuls]

@Prickley71394 Somebody once asked him if he had an Alaska in his life, and he said it was one question too personal to answer. So there's that.

Hazel (?) was likely inspired at least in part by Esther, though that's just a guess.

[Prickley71394]

@AttackoftheLuls thanks for your answers! I didn't know about the Alaska one.

I wonder if Lindsey or Margo are based on anyone (even if they don't have the same names as people IRL).

[ToveyToy]

L. Williamson's first name should be L'D'Brickashaw (pronounced as Le-Duh-Brickashaw)

[andyriversa]

Laurenitas Williamson!!!

AKA. Laury W

hehe

[panicduckky]

Tell us your favorite Henry story!

[panicduckky]

Tell us your favorite Henry story!

[glassisland]

The "L" in "L. Williams" stands for "Lenore" - just FYI. ;)

[Lexie8376]

Lucius Williamson?

Lemony Williamson.

[sir9swarlos]

Four suspects - Jack Vicious, Sid Shifty, Alf Muggins and Jim Pouncer - are being interviewed at the the scene of a murder. Each of the suspects is asked a question. Their answers are as follows:

Jack Vicious: "Sid Shifty committed the murder."

Sid Shifty: "Jim Pouncer committed the murder."

Alf Muggins: "I didn't commit the murder."

Jim Pouncer: "Sid Shifty is lying."

Only one of the four answers is the truth. Who committed the murder?

[ExcaliburJM]

@sir9swarlos Alf Muggins, because Jim tells the truth about Sid lying. If anyone else had done it Alf's statement would be true as well as at least one of the other statements.

[urfaceisausername]

I love it when the top comments contradict each other.

[IImoonifyII]

John! Come on! We both know this wasn't your intended highschool prank, talk about the stripper!

(And no, I'm not kidding nor am I a pervert. If you've seen interviews with John, you'll know what I'm talking about)

[muffincheesepie]

@IImoonifyII xXLOOKING FOR ALASKA SPOILEER ALERTXx if you've read looking for alaska you know them both in great detail.

[longdumbstory]

@IImoonifyII apparently on tumblr he told everyone that he exaggerated that story to impress the girl who you can hear laughing in the background

[IImoonifyII]

@longdumbstory Oh, come on! seriously?! Though honestly I'm impressed... Coming up with that at the spur of the moment can't be easy, as expected from a novelist...

Can't say I'm not disappointed in John though.

[MattW0713]

@IImoonifyII

If I were guessing, I would say it was the same prank that was in Looking For Alaska ;)

[breakwings]

You're playing my local team! Who are now top of the Champsionship!

[jaccalax]

why did you go to boarding school? just wondering

i wanted to go to a boarding school but my parents wouldnt let me and then i went to college far, far away from home and its exactly what i wanted

[samfeelsbored]

Fat Lucas chant: He plays, on grass, he saves Swindons ass Fat Lucaaaas, fat Lucaaas!

[ThatAimee]

Obviously his name is Luigi Williamson, an Italian that moved to Swindon and decided to play soccer instead of make pizza. Mmm... pizza.

[wishofpeace]

legal repercussions for going to John Greens house... that is a huge bummer. what if I am in the area ?

[geekybutcheeky]

Oh and a good fact about Swindon, it's twinned with Disney Land :O

[JAMBO4358]

Can we have a Hank Green in some position?

[geekybutcheeky]

Please talk about your love for the beautiful town of Swindon in your next video! I was born there and the fact that you make videos playing as Swindon Town FC (or the Swoodlypoopers as you so elegantly call them) makes me very very happy :D

[sporksisters]

FYEAH Lyndon Wiliamson!

[DontMindManda]

Longfellow Williamson!

[LivingNexus]

How did the Yeti come to be known as the Yeti?

[kenmoremusiclover]

I wanna hear about the famous senior prank, I've never heard the story

[GrannyDances]

@Silverballoons well, the whole point of a haiku is to count the syllables.. lol

[TeamKiller555]

John, in the next video talk about things that you find wrong with literature today.

[funkmasternick]

Bald John Green is not nearly as good as Other John Green but I feel his mustache makes him more popular..... Other John Green is always the finisher

[pretty7jonesy]

Bald John Green hugging John Green like that... Is it incest or narcissism?

[futurequeen101]

@pretty7jonesy  narcissism, definitely narcissism.

[EvilRaizen]

john, next video talk about college days ! thumbs up if you agree

[Aendrix]

wasn't the whole fireworks thing just the distraction from your stripper prank?

at least that's what I remember from that one video where you tell the story of the senior prank.

[ams3188]

Livingston Williamson or perhaps Lionel Williamson...

[xxbookworm]

I feel like John is making up half of this story.

[hobbitno12]

@xxbookworm If you search for it there is a video from like 5 years ago before he started brotherhood2.0 the only real difference between them was he said that it was worth it back then :P

[SansWheaties]

Lorenzo Williamson.....

[8jamesj8]

L is for Lol Williamson



[ladymold2748]

L is for Lord, I am sure.

[Dieseldaballboy]

Likeomfgijustscored Williamson.

[themaypole]

Hairless headed John Green, he's mean, he rle needs to pee, bald John Green, bald John Green

[indyguy101]

Leviathan Williamson

[meikeandrea]

I was reading a book, and i came across Swindon town. That can't be coincidence, guess which book i was reading ^^

[LovePeaceAndMusic22]

J. Bennett: Other John Green....In Our Hearts :)

[snappyjdog]

someone also released live mice in the middle of a Chapel service as a prank. And of course there was the super glue in the locks. Apparently pranks are very popular at boardin schools.

[snappyjdog]

I was a day student at a boarding school in Tennessee. Our typing class pranked the other section of typing class by stealing their floppy disks and writing naughty stories in their typing exercise file. They retaliated by doing the same to us. When the teachers saw it, they were really pissed... talked about sexual harassment and demerits. Thankfully they ended up not doing anything to us. :/

[SamCoxTV1]

Lenny Williamson!

[SamCoxTV1]

He's fat, he's round,

He can barely get in the ground,

Fat Lucas, Fat Lucas

[TheLukeSchnabel]

Lorenzo Williamson!

[kyleyaschuk]

"Bald John Green: he turns,

he shoots, he scores, and then he

smiles, with his moustache."

That was a haiku at 11:39, John. (I had to edit you for meter, but good work)

[Judixify]

You should make your own outro!

[outfitmadeofawesome]

I have heard this story before! in this video where you're all young and stuff and someone is talking to you about your senior prank or something. (someone else here is all:why are the details different, and clearly the details are different because everyone misremembers things, and as a nerdfighter they should be aware that you have a bad streak of misremembering your past.)

[kyleyaschuk]

wait, you took latin in high school?

[meisaducky]

I believe that Larkspur Williamson will be remembered forever in Swoodlilypooper-history. We should keep an eye on Larkspur and watch for his next move.

Until that time, I do believe Fat Lucas deserves a chant.

He may be fat,

But he's ready to combat

Fat Lucas, Fat Lucas

[genevieve608]

I used to just watch these for the stories but I am starting to get really into the games now. Go Swindon Town Swoodilypoopers!

[vanillacreamcupcake]

No offence John, but haven't you told that story before, in that interview with your friend? Except that then, it kind of was your senior prank, I mean, it was the pre-prank.And the details were different.

What's with that?

Also, you totally used it in "Looking for Alaska" :)

[braydosnachos95]

i wanna hear about the stripper prank

[Slayso]

Lazarus Williamson. 

[BritishPhilo]

Loquacious Williamson

[yanran93]

I've never been this excited/nervous/interested in football, John Green and John Green and John Green.

[CRAZEE0987]

I do believe that he is Lovegood Williamson...AKA the Love God...you can tell from his Afro why he got that nickname

[ishsawah]

John referring to them as Bald John Green and Other John Green always reminds me of Proper Dave and Other Dave from DW Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead. Anyone?

[lrfotheturtle]

Ludwig.

[lzfan88]

Luigi?

[whoisNeRo]

Leeroy J. Williamson?

[kitkatkaittt]

Also, I want more relationship stories!

[NiteRider107]

I think I might be alone on this, but I think that Bald John Green is a little overrated.

So he has a little bit of talent, great, and he gets the job done, but he's NOT THAT GREAT.

I think that Other John Green has much more potential, much more spirit, much more...gusto. Other John Green is the man.

I say fuck Bald John Green's mustache, I want the poof.

The poof is where the intellect is at.

The mustache is their for the lulz. The pizza. It's important, but I want the heart, man. The heart.

[kitkatkaittt]

John Green is totally gay for John Green.

[TheInfallibleGoat]

L. Willamson

Lilian

[Medafets]

Why did it say 'Fault in our stars' at halve time?

[BlueSkyes17]

@Medafets 12:28ish faultinyourstar. odd.

[Brownbirdfeather]

@Kooletz71 it's here on YouTube somewhere it's an interview with him in the early 2000s I think if I remember correctly it's in black and white and before nerdfighteria

[Kooletz71]

So, what did you do with the fireworks? We 'sploded them... Seriously though John the non John Green novel reading among us need to hear the stripper story... it is just too good to be missed.

[iwillown1243]

Livermonkey Williamson.

Talk about how difficult it was to find a publisher and how you reacted when you found out you were going to be published.

[acreativealias]

i hate how you suddenly cut off when you're telling a story! i always wait in suspense to see if you'll actually finish the sentence haha
