Participatory Geometry

[mayrin1112]

What i really hate is how the newberies are judged by adults so most of the time those books are books that ADULTS like not CHILDREN

[alremul]

You know what DOES smell like a best seller? The Fault In Our Stars.

[Kmealey1]

i have a great title for your book.

The Fault in Our Stars

good, right?

[meshikian]

:) liverpool shirt

[okooma]

It's funny watching this as a fan of the Uconn Huskies, and after cussing out Butler last year...

[thesecmonster]

how about the fault in our stars. You know from the Shakespeare quote "The fault drar brutus, is in our starts."

[starsplash922]

Stereotypes. John Green doesn't have them.

[Metalgooze]

YAY, Liverpool shirt!!! My day is complete!

[Lizologie]

Cells come from Cells. Call it that. Oh wait... haha

[UpZeDamage]

I'm really happy he didn't name it The Hectic Blow

[cocaotheobromida]

0:48 Bow ties are cool

[siriusthecat]

Rural Jorour!!! 30 ROOOOOOOCK!!!

[ThaEther]

I suggest The Fault in Our Stars

[ALouvrie]

I totally think you should call the book The Fault in our Stars

[ALouvrie]

I watch sports in my Liverpool shirt too.

[thatsmahlon]

It's a sad day when smart people don't know how to pronounce Latin correctly... :(

[face0the0armadillo]

@thatsmahlon - ...Latin has been dead for hundreds of years. Isn't it pretty difficult to say for sure than any pronunciation is correct?

[thatsmahlon]

@face0the0armadillo It's actually quite easy to say! The records we have are pretty extensive.

[TheOneAndOnlyAilat]

@thatsmahlon I'm pretty sure he was pronouncing it with church Latin, not traditional.

[j9k9bay]

I went into Barnes and Noble the other day, and instead of walking out with Looking for Alaska, I walked out with Looking for Alaska and a signed copy of The Fault in our Stars. Good day.

[CapitainThunder]

wearing a liverpool shirt. like a boas!!!

[carlasue88]

Voldemort's soul had 8 parts: 6 on-purpose horcruxes (horcri?), 1 on-accident horcrux in Harry, and 1 part still in his body. You're welcome.

[ssbfan2]

the book should be called the fault in our stars

[opticalecho119]

The connections are endless, I wrestle for my high school, swim for my high school, and will play football in the coming season.

[stephanie546]

OOOOh i know what you should name it... The fault in our stars ;)

[snickerscandy876]

Holy. Shit. I just went and got my copy of Will Grayson, Will Grayson and was going ot read it after I had you read the first two chapters of TFiOS to me. Ever since I read Looking for Alaska I practically screamed at the library superintendent to order TIFiOS (they got it and it was a signed copy) and am now on a John Green binge. Just thought I'd let you know.

[coolgirl1811]

I loved the idea of a community built around sports. I know how much fun they are because I was a UConn Huskies fan around this time last year. For all the nerdfighters who don't know the significance, we handed the Bulldogs their asses.

[vcav22]

lebron must wonder why his life is slowly becoming a series of existentially fraught free throws...

[TheGarrettsee]

did you make this video while writing gus's back story when he had a leg? SPOILED!

[katiekat811]

the cubs winning the world series? hahahahah good joke, john.

[redsoxAGon]

possible book title: The Fault in Our Stars

[AudioRecovered]

I LOVE NERDFIGHTERS!

Seriously, I'm in Britain and I've loved the NErdfighter group so much I've become one and have gone onto YouTube. So if you got a spare minute or two come on over and take a watch?

DFTBA John and Hank

[bassetts1899]

how does a video called "participatory geometry" have over 200,000 views..?

[MrDavePhil]

@bassetts1899 Nerdfighters!

[thesunsgonewibbly]

@bassetts1899 Nerdfighteria is fantastic that way.

[nlondon70711]

you should call your book "The fault in our stars"

[littleroachyboy]

How about the fault in our stars

[MsGreenrubberducky]

Dear john from last march. You're wrong about it coming out next march, it's coming out (it has come out) in january. Also, you should call it the fault in our stars, turn the hectic glow into an imaginary meme band, mention the idea of basketball being participatory geometry, and sign the entire first printing. believe me, it'll be awesome.

[stargleekwhofighter]

THE HECTIC GLOW. This was the first video I watched after actually becoming a Nerdfighter. And know I'm back here because of The Hectic Glow and I'm just smiling because of just how much of John I saw in The Fault in Our Stars

[ThePhantomAlchemist]

You know what doesn't smell like a bestseller? LATIN!

[JadeRhianna]

suggestion: the fault in out stars?

yup, totally 'smells like' a best seller.

[commenter2498]

january. your book is to come out in january. god, john you`re bad at months too!

[maoxiaoling]

@commenter2498 lol well technically the book wasn't supposed to come out until march, but a lot of awesome nerdfighters wanted it to come out sooner which is why we all have our wonderful copies now! :D

[commenter2498]

ahem. this discussion on basketball reminds me A LOT about what Augustus said about it. hmmm..

[theking3002]

the fault in our stars

[SuperCoolFunnyVideos]

"We choose what we care about." Gold.

"I like my choices. I hope she likes hers."

[starkidfan123]

SAM SAM SAM I KNOW SAM!!! :D

[bennoe34]

the rural juror

[stclax11]

wow this has a lot of TFiOS references haha

[latestnostalgia]

Someone should really make a playlist with all the TFiOS references.

[OnRandomChaos]

you should call it The Fault in our Stars and it should become a number one best seller...oh wait you say that happened. well then congratulations!!!!!

[josephd183]

God. Hectic Glow, participatory geometry. He dropped hints EVERYWHERE.

[tacoismykitty]

4 tfios references ive seen in johns 3 of johns old videos

[bronzex3eagle]

Bowties are cool

[smcgaff222]

wow...... there really are a lot of TFIOS references. I thought John was being random as usually.

[DarkWolfMitaki]

Spoiler Alert. This book didn't come out in march.

[ButterFingers7924]

I really thought the hectic glow rang a bell when I read it... not a real band... :?

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

@ButterFingers7924 they're as real as The Maybe Dead Cats.

[Aresman70]

You just put a spherical object through a toroidal object. That's basketball.

[ButterFingers7924]

@Aresman70 Oh my goodness those words were in the book! :D

[mrshairspray321]

Spoiler Alert: The title of the book is "The fault in our stars"

;)

[tss6295]

rewatching this video after reading TFiOS makes me understand so many of the references! also, my sister goes to Butler and i showed her this video and she was really happy that you're a fan of the Butler Bulldogs. :)

[stephiiee]

hey john, call it "the fault in our stars". such a good title don't you reckon 

[RavenclawDeatheater1]

I can't believe the hectic glow isn't a real band!

[Lozaricka]

oh my so many TFIOS references that make sense now!

[EthanTack]

The TFIOS references that I did not understand when this video came out, are numerous.

[aed36]

'This is not a pipe"

BUT IT IS A PIPE!

[meggoftw]

@aed36 it isn't a pipe... it is a DRAWING of a pipe :)

[Linneamify]

Listening to this after reading the book fills me with different references... Participatory geometry... :D

[uiruu]

That was a very Augustinian dissection of basketball, John.

[BreChristie]

I know what part he was writing when he recorded this.

[BreChristie]

There are 8 parts of Voldemort's soul. Just saying.

[reninmin]

March? I think you mean January.

[misskatty98]

"The hectic blow"... in your pants

[BubbleArcadia]

Elmo.....Henry's fave toy I presume?

[HeadInTheClouds1178]

When you said "imagine getting an email from J.K. Rowling", I imagined it. And then I cried a little.

[weareallsublime]

I love you, for owning a liverpool shirt.

[LoganTheUltimate]

Call it the Fault in Our Stars

[AnoukvdS]

Guess what, it's not coming out in March. :p

[aidanaustria11]

i do believe you mean "8 parts..." 7 horcruxes (1 accidental) + 1 part in body = 8 parts of soul

[NickRele]

I am actually a two-year nerdfighter and play basketball

[tipomartins]

What if you called it 'The Fault in Our Stars'

It's great isn't it?

[Plyrx08]

You know what doesn't sound like a bestseller? Latin.

[LMNOP1214]

The Swoodilypoopers <3 :D This is like, the meaning behind them, but before they existed...

[NerdfighterneverFTBA]

JANUARY

[tati13221]

January not martch

[lemonhead1256]

THE RURAL JUROR, JOHN! I've just watched all the 30 Rocks over twice! YOU GO

[efudacz26]

The cubs winning? Haha...

[StigGT2]

Oh My God a Liverpool shirt.

[moonlady3000]

OMG, I LOVE that you had to put that annotation up about Voldemort's soul because of all the people commenting on it.

Nerdfighters FTW.

[naomierosen]

THE RURAL JUROR!!!!! 30 rock reference. gotta love tina fey.

[thesegirlshaveboobs]

The Hectic Glow is a band John...duh. It's okay you didn't know. They're pretty obscure.

[oh9ah6]

I'm hear because "The Hectic Glow" is mentioned in chapter two of TFIOS, which John just read...

[syskonenS]

@oh9ah6 here*

[oh9ah6]

@syskonenS apologies.

[Scorpsed]

Can someone please explain this whole Hectic Glow thing to me? They're too underground to find much about them.

[oh9ah6]

@Scorpsed YES. PLEASE.

[musechick101]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! The cubs winning hte world series would be wonderful :)

[BellaSolveig]

Hey, how about "The Fault in Our Stars"?

[DarthRioBarbossa]

John: This is the future. I think you should call it The Fault In Our Stars, and it'll be out in January. Also, Past John Green, you should start signing pages. Right now. You'll thank yourself later.

[synchrogirl978]

OHMYGOD 30 ROCK REFERENCE I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE NOW

[KenjiDDT]

If you think about it. In the annotation where John says something along the lines of, "This is what I do when you like and share the video" in the excerpt in which he spazzes out. That means he theoretically had to do that over 8000 times... I feel sorry for him.

[FungusyHam]

It's funny, I used to have a job where I put tennis balls into their cylindrical packaging for ten dollars an hour. Maybe I should have asked for a raise?

[commenter2498]

0:50 DID I JUT SEE NERDFIGHTER-BRAND CONVERSE?



[joysarenottravesties]

Woah. The Hectic Glow is the name of my favorite band. They're pretty underground. Crazy coincidence.

[lerlerlerlaura]

@Kagomimi woopsie! I was never good at biology...seems like 17 other people are just as silly as me

[EriksWanderingChild]

This was the first vlogbrothers video I ever saw. I've never looked back since. <3

[FantasticBlueGirl]

Dear past John,

Your new book is going to be called The Fault in Our Stars and it is going to be fantastic.

Sincerely,

FantasticBlueGirl

[sirdoctoroftardis12]

Bow Ties are Cool?

[standingonair777]

BRANDISH

[TriscuitFan]

John, I've noticed that you often say "we choose what we care about" and I'm not sure I understand what you mean by that. Perhaps an explanation of that would be a good topic for a vlog?

[LindseysBackyardLive]

Rural juror... What up, 30 Rock reference?

[TheEvetscipELP]

"my new book is coming out in march" I think you mean... JANUARY 10TH!!

[Mis4Mika]

Hey, John predicted Pottermore!

[3viLCL0wNxxx]

@Mis4Mika heh 69 likes heh

[Mis4Mika]

@3viLCL0wNxxx 74, now. ;D

[AnoukvdS]

Now we know that the book is actually not coming out in March.

[chilliypepper]

I voted!

[ImTheOutrage]

your liverpool fan?!

[carbonatedcheese]

i like that quote. what about the Pearly Tear of the Oyster part, then? that sounds poetic and is also about beauty coming from pain and/or destruction...

i guess you would have thought of that already though...

[FrogShapedEraser32]

@acae1 Well, yeah. But I know what a Horcrux is. I never said that Voldemort was a Horcrux...I just said that Voldemort still contained part of his soul.

[mark4851]

whatever you say, im never going to like sports

[rachelisdobbysfriend]

Harry Potter FTW

[MadeofAwesome4ever]

@pokemonmantheo Quidditch is actually more like soccer. Culturally, it's similar to soccer in that it has a World Cup, which we can assume takes place every 4 years. When is comes to how the game is played, players try to score, but have to get the Quaffle (or soccer) through a goal that a keeper is guarding.

[smartmoron62]

You know what doesn't smell like a best-seller?

LATIN. :D

[ReKrisB]

I was okay with being a non-teenager for a while

Before I realized I could no longer influence voting for John's books...blargh xD

[FrogShapedEraser32]

@acae1 YOU GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT! John said that the video came in seven parts, like Voldemort's soul. NOT how many Horcruxes he made. Voldemort contained part of his soul in his body, and then he made seven Horcruxes, although he didn't mean to make Harry one. ERGO, his soul is in 8 parts, and John was wrong.

[blueiis10]

i like your words. they make me happy. :)

[lolweirdness]

YES! DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS!@!

[MeBeCatherine10]

You're ruining it, Elmo. You're ruining it.

[ReKrisB]

@MeBeCatherine10 That was the best lol X3

[Helpmebeoriginal]

Did John just reference 30 Rock... YES HE DID!

[FrogShapedEraser32]

Voldemort's soul is in 8 parts...

1. Him

2. The Ring

3. The Diary

4. The Locket

5. The Cup

6. The Diadem

7. Harry

8. Nagini

Get your facts right! :P

[acae1]

@FrogShapedEraser32 No, no, no you get YOUR facts right you inbred child. Voldemort himself WASN'T a horcrux. The definition of a said horcrux is and I quote "when soneone takes a piece of his or her soul and puts it in an object." Voldemort couldn't have put a piece of his soul in himself therefore isn't a horcrux. So get off youtube and go educate yourself.

[thiswillneverbeme]

you already wrote the hectic blow, but you named it looking for alaska...

[strangerswithsocks]

ahahahaha. 30 rock reference.

[JustinCarroll928]

I love these videos because both Hank and John get so "Hyped-up" during their videos, and most people would ramble for half a minute and then be like: "Woah... I got off topic and maybe a little excited..." but NO! It's like a three minute "High" (Except it's actually the opposite of a high? O.o) and it isn't over till 3:15... It's awesome...

[monkey93xf]

The Hectic Blow? ...in your pants

[monkey93xf]

@monkey93xf oh... glow

[thestickmann1]

I got an idea for the book title: The Fault In Our Stars! I bet John will use this!

[daphnechan12]

the hectic blow..in your pants. :>

[princessemiko]

YOU WROTE A BOOK WITH DAVID LEVITHAN??????? how did I not know this.... this makes me very happy :)

[VideoNewZ9]

I am gonna need some more clarification of this Basket Ball thing

[MrMinVik]

my title for the book 'The Fault in Our Stars'

What do you think?

[BoxioBrowz]

cubs winning world series lol.

[RHCProckmyfaceoff]

HA rural juror.

Hectic Glow for the win

[ShenanigansSays]

Your blue guy didn't fall down!

... I hope you realize that since you pointed that out, I'm going to pay attention to it in every video from here on out. Thank you John.

[PokeZelda6664]

John: Hi Lebron James what do you do for a living?

James: I get my ass kicked by the Dallas Mavericks!

Sorry, I live very close to Dallas so I had to.

Title: Chaos Prints. 

[taureleafsilver]

I'm just saying, "Participatory Geometry" is the best phrase ever, It needs to be a game, a band AND a book title.

[notaquantumphysicist]

@taureleafsilver I'm not sure about a game, band and book title - but if I ever get the chance: I WILL write a song called "Participatory Geometry".

[taureleafsilver]

@notaquantumphysicist Yeeeessssss

[Warmsprite1w]

The Hectic blow in your pants.... LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[joe5494]

YES NOW LIVERPOOL

[MrNK5K]

[Breetwee]

0:48 bow ties are cool.

[EmmyBea]

When will you find out if WG, WG won the CBC award?

[safiregurl32]

UCONN won :) my home state :)

[goodmight34]

I was in my school library today and walked past an underclassman reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson; so I told her how I just finished the book and I loved it. Then she said that she was reading it for school! One of our English teachers assigned it! It made me happy to see that the John Green book assignments were still going, as we read Paper Towns last year for that class. It's pretty much as awesome as it gets :)

[TheEllieburger]

It's okay, Suzanne Collins is in a different category too, so I can pick your book without feeling guilty :)

[TheEllieburger]

John, they're making me choose between Will Grayson Will Grayson and Mockingjay. RASOAHUDEHAS DPOASdmPAIOSD D:

[bddb92]

Liverpool!!!!!!!!111

[kittydreamz86]

I'm way behind... someone help me... what is his new book going to be about?

[shybutsecretlyinsane]

I HAD TO PRESS THUMBS UP FOR THE LIVERPOOL FC SHIRT!

[haleybugg008]
