TUMESCENCE

[GustakhNigah1]

i've fallen for the pen15 joke...twice...in highschool XD

[SasukeisAwesome]

I really want to know what Katherine thought when she was the PEN15 on Hank's arm...

[Alizastack]

er, actually i was in the 'pen' club, but was the 15th member.

[midnightmagic215]

wow my friend chloe did that to me. now i know where she got the idea from,

[libbyhull]

yeah when someone tried to trick me like that I would always tell them no. Or work it through in my head until I found a trick and then said no. I was hard to trick into anything cause I knew when someone walked up to me and asked hey do you want...? they where trying to be mean or embarrass me.

[cewmen]

What happened to the other guys shoulder at the end of the video??!???!??!!!

[Madidog123]

@cewmen . . . can't tell if internet noob, or just a technologically impaired duck.

[INTPTT]

@cewmen Well, the two guys in the video are the same person. So he probably used photoshop or something to get himself next to himself. The vanishing shoulder is an error with that.

[dlbattle100]

Isopropol alchohol takes off sharpie.

[seabassninja]

how about you grow a pair...

[DaffyDaffyDaffy33322]

@seabassninja I could say the same thing.

[SuperJmo666]

YOU LITTLE DICKHEAD

[ferntailwp]

Only the rich speak french in Haiti, the public speaks creole which is basically if you took french and stripped it of all grammar rules so it's not all too hard to learn.

[moviemoviemadness]

i did that to my friend. He found it hilarious and tried to write it on ppls hands who wouldnt like the joke and get us in trouble so now i have to make sure he doesnt do that.... true story

[DejoMasters]

when i was in 7th grade, all of the populars had "pen16" written on their hand. so one of my friends went up to them and said "whats that"? and they said "we're all in the Pen 16 Club" and he said "can i join" and they said "there's no room, but you can be in the pen 15 club!". true story. he then had pen15 on his hand they next 2 weeks.

[Allioop88]

Who's this other guy with the mustache?

[DejoMasters]

@Allioop88 that's evil hank.

[14bwaybabe]

when i was in middle school there was this annoying "cool" girl who came up to me and was like "hey you wanna be in our pen15 club?" and i said no. then she proceeded to write pen15 on my math homework in fat orange marker and then said to the teacher "look what she wrote on her paper!" but being that i sat right in front of him, my teacher saw her bothering me. anyway, i was more put into the pen15 club. . . but im glad i wasnt the only one.

[musicmama888]

what, he's in bed intruder? they teach me so much

[SkullChickia]

we did that to some kids at camp, and they knew exactly what was going on

[iwanttodanceallnight]

When he says that it was nearly 20 years ago it's hard for me to believe he is old enough for that to be true :P

[Xanrry]

My classmates did this to me with the island of pens. Of course that's not what they called it.

[TheatricalChick]

It's better to say "join the pen club, I'm pen 13, joe over there is pen 14, and you can be 15"

[horsieb19]

I love that I can go back and watch a vlogbrothers video from 2010 and still really enjoy it! John and Hank are still entertaining! Now 876 more to watch...

[MrChaos424242]

I don't know why but this video made me lose The Game.

[RaawrItsAmyy]

@MrChaos424242 DAMNIIIT! you just made me lose The Game. -_-

[MrChaos424242]

@RaawrItsAmyy your welcome :D

[bluescidoo]

yeah someone did that to me too :(

oh well...

PEN15 FOR THE WIN! >:D

[SpunkStalker101]

I thought this was "join the penis club"

life is full of disappointments.

[qwerty12268]

girls are hitting puberty earlier because our diets are generally getting better :)

[ThePeanutbutterbunny]

@qwerty12268 *worse

[MrSoulTracker9]

@qwerty12268 i would assume its because men like women with big boobs are more attractive girls breasts are getting bigger to help them find "mates"

[MrSoulTracker9]

@MrSoulTracker9 *think

[G4m3rB0y114]

3:49 solvol mate, solvol.

[omnomnomyay]

I feel like the Moustached Guy is really Hank's subconscious.

[mlgp7223]

my boobs started developing when i was 8

sorry hank, but i freaking love you

[ApertureGeneticist]

I don't even remember when it was.

It was in a Culvers, and we had just finished competing at a Science Olympiad competition.

"Hey, want to the Pen Club? You'd be the 15th person."

and of course, I always trust science nerds...so, I became the 15th member of the pen club.

[hrmmmmmmmmmm]

@ApertureGeneticist science olympiad is the bomb.com

[IWontStopHoldingOn95]

Haha this happened to me, but it wasn't that shocking because everyone knew about it and had "PEN15" written on their hand. Also I was like 13 so it wasn't really embarrassing.

[LindseysBackyardLive]

I've been doing this to my friends :3

[TheRedSkylark]

I chose to join the Pen15 club knowing what it stood for. :D

[thewolffromhell66666]

yay evil hank

[MrNuttychris]

PEN island :)

[Mystro1989]

im a member of pen15 too!!

[Liamlazaruslives]

[NovaBUSFan]

164 people aren't in the PEN15 club...

[JulesUnderwater]

I asked my friend to be part of the Pen15 club and now everyone thinks I'm a freaking genius. Although I was deeply saddened that none of my friends are Nerdfighters.

[speakninja]

and now freddie wong is sixth....

[jadabug4life]

I love hank's Mind

[Horsegal64]

I got a ticket to pen island when I was in the 7th grade all you had to do was have 'penisland' written on your hand... so I walked around all day with 'penis land' on my hand

[lepracaun93]

"What was that?!"

"I HAVE NO IDEA!"

Brilliant. :D

[MrExplodeable]

3:39 No Mustache Hank WHERE IS YOUR ARM!

[ziggypwner]

When Tobuscus and Freddiew were 80 back on the subscription chart...

[ekilcoin460]

I have never heard of the PEN15 club!

[d2techknow]

penis club

[bmaseray]

I may have never joined the pen15 club, but I contributed to its existence by initiating many, many members into it. Its good to know so many people are happy and proud of being part of a community I helped create.

:)

[sdcollegegirl]

my roommates name to get on the internet is pen15

[TheOrchidNinja]

Thank you for knowing how to say meme. :D

[Nerdfighterian]

@TheOrchidNinja Do people you know pronounce it as "MeMe"?

[TheProjectWeird]

My dad walked in while I was watching this, and the screen cap was on evil hank.

FML!

[FireDropTechnologies]

I Realy need to use that Joke!

And with a 8-1/2 inch Pen15?

Lol maybe it's a speshal magic?

[FireDropTechnologies]

[wang78739]

[KittyMariChan]

Wow...I understood that 'internet thing'. It's about how 'even Snooki has some problems with Obama' about the topic of suntanning, since he increased the tax on it. The last sentence says how many people look down on her.

[pbjellybeanful]

YES! WE'RE IN THE PEN 15 CLUB! :D

[tipomartins]

I'm part of the B1G Pen15 Club

[Tcr810XP]

[WithASideOfFries]

[dftbachick1929]

164 giant squids of anger............. :(

[dalekmum]

[LBNANY]

i remember that joke from middle school. I am 25 now....

[RiskyBrothers]

you know that if you zoom out slightly on the yt screen a runescape screen fits perfectly nezt to it?

[CyborgForgael]

I did that "Pen 15" thing to someone when I was in middle school. That may have been you.

[creationexpoloitatio]

Thumbs up if you saw penis on the pen 15 photo

[wH1t3130y]

At least John gets his daily source of vegetables

[skullandswords]

I'm going to join the pen15 club as soon as possible.

[willwei98]

Watch this vid with your volume turned off. :P

[Thisismyusername1010]

"I don't know where there is, but I believe it's somewhere and I hope there's pizza."

Me too, John. Me too.

[LifeIsMiraculous]

I've been in the PEN15 club:') my friends said there were 14 members already and I was the 15th so I was PEN15...

[WordyGinger28]

I got the boy I have a crush on to join the PEN15 club.

He was thoroughly amused.

I think he's a keeper.

[ddc32997]

I will initiate all of my friends tomorrow >:D

[JDMachinima]

FUCK YEAH, Pen15 club!

[MsWasteland101]

I may have been a member of the pen15 club. Or maybe I just witnessed someone's "Initiation" and somehow made it my own memory. Either way, The Pen15 club RULES!

[CoDhAcKeRs101]

Penis15

[steveunlocked]

Man Chops Off Bad Tiny Foot...See the Video Here!

[JulesCoxie]

Hank... i feel like your face is slightly less in-focus than your book case. (but maybe it's just more still)

[JulesCoxie]

and if it makes you feel better, i didn't know what "the game" was until you guys explained it.

[MEGHAPSEY]

@JulesCoxie

I just lost the game. :/

[commenter2498]

Once, in seventh grade, in geography class... it said "PEN15 CLUB" on ym desk... in sharpie... this was LONG before i watched this video so being the goody-two-shoes i am, lacking whiteout i covered it with a peice of paper and was ashamed of it the whole year even though no one could actually see it.

i kind of regret that now.

[LABBChaCha]

The top 3 subscribed should be you guys, Toby (Tobuscus), and Vihart~

[wyattp1397]

Although I"m not in the Pen15 club, I want to join it. I'M GOING INTO SCHOOL WITH IT WRITTEN ON MY LEG! :D

[dftbaLauren]

Hehe this reminds me of an xkcd comic, number 842.

[CrosslerChoirNerd]

I initiated my friend into the pen 15 club today. . .

I'm in college, btw :l

[badlittlebliim]

"Thrifty genotype" + "Spend Thrift phenotype" = explanation of earlier female development. 

[MistyRhedz]

Omfg...if i was the one recruiting you for pen15..i'd put those letters on your forehead and prolly add 1 big punch with it....hehehe

[yourworstnightmar231]

i guy in my french class fell for that, my friend and should of warned him but we don't like him

[HathamRahman]

I got...recruited... into the pen15 club in year 8. It was a little embarressing, but thorugh it I met someone who had also been tricked by it in the corridor between classes and we became good friends. A good trade off I think :)

[scharaboosh]

there appears to be a black hole in the middle if your room

[MKmusic20]

There's something like this that was at my lunch table this year:

Who wants to go to Pen Island? 

[randobanana]

When I was seven, My brother slipped me a piece of paper at Family Dinner Time. I have tons of siblings, all of whom were laughing SO hard to hear their baby sister yelling " I am Wee Todd Edd? I am Wee Todd Edd!!"

[VolunteerNerdfighter]

@randobanana My brother did that to me, too!

Except the words were "I am we tall did." It was written as a list, and he told me to read it as fast as I could. Brothers are great... I don't think I ever joined the PEN15 club though. Guess that's nice.

[yayme524]

Lol, we did this joke at my school... the people doing the joke convinced someone to have PEN15 written on his forehead xDDDDDDDDDD

[TheSuperBSman]

when i saw this i thought it was penis club

[trulypaintball99]

i fucking hate ads on utube .

[XxLokiRabbitxX]

I am a girl, I have asked just about the entire male population of my school to join the PEN15 club. About 75% of them agreed. They all ended up with a large 'PEN15' On their forehead. I had to run like hell, because the boys at my school are NOT above beating the shiz out of girls.

[kayextie]

@XxLokiRabbitxX That's kinda really bad..

[marquoth]

The little CGI clip is from an actual news broadcast in, iirc, Taiwan. Forgive me if I'm mistaken about the country of origin. It's legit though. They feature clips from it every now and then on Have I Got News For You. HIGNFY, in case you haven't heard of it, is a brilliant show (with a stupid name) on the BBC. It's current-affairsy, poolitical satire type stuff. Very funny.

[grandchildofchaos]

I always fell for the "how do you spell icup" thing. 

[ravendunpeal]

Could have been worse. It could have been PU55Y or ID10T.

[24nerdfighter]

IM IN A CLUB WITH HANK GREEN!

<3

[andyanderson100]

@24nerdfighter me too

[JesselaPotter]

LOL , at first , I thought it was just me that read penis instead of pen15

[ReKrisB]

EVIL HANK :3

And one of the things about the girls developing earlier - I was once informed that those who drank certain amounts of milk developed earlier simply because humans aren't technically "built" to drink milk after we're done breast feeding - not to say that that's true, but I thought it was an interesting observation.

I remember the pen15 club, but I only fell for it once, and it was written on my notebook in pencil..not on my hand in sharpie...XD

[StopSocialismUSA]

join the h55nd club

[MeLaneyDay]

@gawmovies Your reply to the trolls comment is made of so much WIN. D.F.T.B.A to you my friend, D.F.T.B.A.

[kimrichaaards]

when i read the title i thought that i was the first one to realize that pen 15 looked penis.... damn

[BroadwayAllstar]

In 3rd grade there someone wrote "the special Pen is" because when we would read books there was always a person who was allowed to draw a picture while we read. once the person was next to me and she had really small writing, so i commented on her writing or something and she though i was talking about the Pen is thing. I had to go the the principals office and my teacher yelled at me, but it wasn't till i got home till i actually found out why i was in trouble.

[srk1214]

I am entering freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania. I am a member of Penn'15!

[ThePSPfreak99]

@srk1214 LAWL where are you from?

[bjg223]

i was in the pen club... and i was the 15th member.

[rachelsaunicorn]

I've joined the pen 15 club... twice. The shame...

[thestickmann1]

I'm in the pen15 club too!

[96sja]

ur gay !!!!!!!

[TheNeiraaa]

@96sja He has been married to Katherine (his female wife) for five years. Even if he was gay, that doesn't make him a bad person or less funny. So, dear troll, go back to your cave.

[xirec1st]

Okay dude...you are either on crack, or just EXTREMELY enthusiastic. Either way, I have this to say. Breasts.

[dolphin64575]

my brother got tricked into going to 'pen island' dot com on a school computer X(

[NathanHasAVlog]

My brother is graduating from UPenn in 2015. They are the PEN15 class...awesome.

[samh2540]

They speak Karole in Haiti.

It is a French dialect.

[ChoiChoiBunny]

@samh2540 HAHAAAAAAAA! FINALLY MY FRENCH LEARNING HAS COME IN HANDY!!! You don't know how happy you made me.

[butterflyinwinter]

Funny. I never heard of the pen15 club. Or Pen Island. That's weird. Or am I weird? Maybe everybody thinks I'm to weird to be invited.

[annabellatheartist]

though i was never in the pen15 club, i was frequently asked to spell icup and then say pretty colors... it was a third grade thing.

[hpnai]

@annabellatheartist i got to spell pig backward and then the pretty colours :D then later i did it to my sister

[xaraowlx1]

Oh my gosh I am so starting the pen15 club on monday! :)))))) I can't wait!

[emvln92]

fact check: a VAST majority of haitians DO NOT speak french. they speaknd creole, which is KINDA like french, but definitely different. the official language of haiti IS french, and all government documents are in french, but most haitians cannot read/understand french, which just causes more problems, as they cannot understand government documents.

[steponme208]

Haaa, my roommate is an exchange student from China and I was watching this as she was doing homework and when she heard that one segment come up she stopped and was like "Is that Chinese?!" and she proceeded to translate it for me :P (But I don't remember what she said. Something about the president breaking policy or something. )

[theEmilyHaney]

... in 6th grade I joined the PEN15 club involuntarily.

... in the same week I also was invited to pen island.

after that week I become suspicious of humanity.

[bannanamouse]

my sister joint me to the PEN15 club

[Sofia102]

I love evil Hank

[Evanskis93]

I WAS IN THE PEN15 CLUB!! Only, it was in senior year of high school... University of Pennsylvania Class of 15!!

[MrIlikegadgets]

When some kid poped a bag the vice principal found me on my stomach in the line

[MrIlikegadgets]

The pen thing is nothing. First day of middle school I was paranoid about kids with gun, and it was lunch(I was pretty shaky) and.

[Oldfashionholedig]

well haven't we been developing earliers of 100's of year--in the 18hundreds girls got their periods an 16

[TheBJellyroll]

i wana be a meme D:

[rachelsaunicorn]

I was sent to pen island.com *Shakes head in shame*

[Happypast]

this video is like a parody of your videos hank xD

[pure1312ownage]

THAT was a mandarin news segment about Snooki and Obama.

[SSClov]

This girl in my school did the same thing but she stamped on my forehead.

[retrorocketrhiannon]

xkcd.com/842/

this is so awesome. I saw it, and I knew I had to find this video to share it with you.

[caboose9879]

I just got into the class of 2015 at University of Pennsylvania and admitted students have made a shirt that says "PENN15" on it... I thought it was neat!

[FredIsMyName22]

@caboose9879 Congrats on your into of getting at U of P!

[thePirateQueenKt]

The youtube captions for the weird foreign video was " Bill Clinton today gingerbread Yemeni get I’m not I’m not exactly what time she he went on to his idea"

[CallofDutyKid222]

Thumbs up if you wouldve stood up for hank and been his friend in middle

School :)

[undeadgoat]

French is not the same as Haitian Creole, I hope you know that by now.

[delitebrite]

you make me wish i had ever been invited to join the pen 15 club ):

[xxxOneInDarkIsMExxx]

@delitebrite Would you like to join the Pen 15 club? i formally invite you. And once you join the Pen 15 club, you are more then welcome to come to Pen Island!

[jimyounkin]

Good Ask a Ninja impression. :D

[MercuryBoi]

I'm now wondering about the fact that he would have had that written on his hand and arm later, in sharpie, and that may not have come out right away.

[friendsofcampbell]

everytime i see something like this, i wish youtube didn't exist

[SirTeeGeeEss]

@friendsofcampbell I read your comment, then wished you didn't exist.

[mybestfrendsafrog]

Evil Hank has me laughing so stupidly throughout this whole video, ohhh I love these videos

[marimbaninja42]

At least you were with the enlightened cast of xkcd

[doomlevel27]

Exact same Pen15 experience in middle school.

[SuperCornstock]

press 4 repeatedly it looks like hes a ape

5 looks wrong

8 lookes like hes pinching his nipples

[TheNintendOtaku]

x,D That meme at the end was amazing, I'm gonna hafta look into Eff Yeah Nerdfighters

[TheBrightblue77]

Do you have an arm on your bookshelf?

[UgotTbaged11]

i wrote pen15 on my penis. 12 times

[ccatherinecsc]

see...I had a similar experience...yet so, so different.

When I was a 7 year old girl my 22 year old male summer camp counselor asked me if I wanted to join the Pen 15 club. The same thing went down...only I didn't understand it.

needless to say my mom was a little angry when she saw my arm after camp that day.

creeper counselor? yes.

[regularguy5mb]

Yeah, someone tried to get me to join the Pen 15 club in middle school, but I never fell for the Snipe hunt, so I wasn't falling for that.

Although I did later fall for "Scout Day" where Boy Scouts wore their uniforms to school and got out for a special assembly... yeah...

[TheCasualLemon]

@regularguy5mb Being a scout is nothing to keep hidden man. I've been in the UK scouting movement for nearly 14 years now and I'm more than happy to tell anyone so
