  • Actually I just came to see a Crash Test

  • "And they just aren't worth my time."

    I just kept thinking that should be "worth my while" as it would then rhyme with "3 to 4 gallons to the mile" and would make me feel better. Jokes song though.

    DFTBA

  • Lol. American cars suck. And I'm American.

  • i just want a focus :(

  • i thought he made a mistake saying "2 or 3 gallons to the miles" at first

  • Pretentious prick. 

  • @wjaiv Dude, ever heard of sarcasm?

  • @Paulinemoke I don't think you know what pretentious means.

  • @wjaiv You must be new here.

  • @mahdi5264 Thou mewling doghearted hugger-mugger!

  • @mahdi5264 You block, you stone, you worse than senseless thing!

  • @mahdi5264 you warner-chilcotting deceptercon!

  • "smart cars" really do belong in some realm resembling hell.

    They're so incredibly terrible to drive, you'll probably want to kill yourself before the handling does it for you. <.<

  • 968 people have cars that are itty bitty

  • I love how you're all singing deep and gritty.

    Like, truck-drivery I guess.

    It drives the point home.

    pun intended.

  • Cameo made a cameo! Hank, I love your kitty.

  • mini trucks suck

  • How do people not get that this is the exact opposite of how he actually feels. He ran an environmental blog, I mean, come on guys.

  • Don't worry Hank, I saluted the Hummers for ya!

  • 696 people have a broken irony detector

  • @JAMBO4358 Mines broken too, it detects everything but irony. :)

  • get a life

  • @leviboy101 You missed the joke.

  • Why don't people realize that he is an environmental blogger and this song is sarcasm? -.-

  • If you said "while" instead of "time" it would have rhymed while still making sense. DFTBA.

  • huh, i never knew hank was a petrolhead.

  • If I wanted to drive a small car, I'd live in France. I like it v

  • Oh my gosh... this must be evil Hank. He did tell us he was on the rise! I mean, the dead giveaway was obviously when he didn't flip off the hummers!

  • Hmm...it might just be me...but I get the feeling Hank's being sarcastic, no? hahahaha

  • I don't understand the obsession with big cars.

    All i want is a stripped out fly-weight

    3 seconds to 60

    not a 6 foot tailgate

    Why get something big and cumbersome

    you don't need to carry

    10 ton of lumber son

  • Lol one of the tags is irony cuz he runs an environmental activist website

  • How much did the gas companies pay you to write this song?

  • You wish you could live in France... have socialized medicine and efficient diesel cars. Thank I god I don't live in USA.

  • @joaocaixinhas Diesel pollutes heavy.

  • @GONEmypurpleflapjack No, it doesn't, with modern catalizers, which are mandatory... They even have lower CO2 emissions than gasoiline.

  • Smart cars are the smallest car EVER! Couldnt they invent a car thats just as smart but, i dunno, about six times bigger?!

  • Question: Did you mean "they just aren't worth my while"? Because that rhymes better, or so I think. :)

  • V8 Hemi!!!!!!!hahaha niceee

  • its funny the type of people who like big dumbass cars are the first people to cry and complain every time gas goes above $3.75. i have a scion xB. think i give a fuck about gas prices!? shiiiieeet.

  • Ironic that there was a Jeep ad next to video

  • @ircuteskitty heh. i have a dodge ram 1500 ad. nice.

  • lol! i was the 333,333 person to come to the video! :D

  • press 4 over and over and look at the chick in the background lmfao and repetedly press 0 too lol

  • press play and press 8 wait half a second and press 8 again repeat untill satisfied that dancing is cool

  • you got that right

  • Well seriously though Move to France if you want to drive a clown car. We have no use for them here (most of us) GREEN is the new RED! Wake up America!

  • You should have said something in this song about the nerdfighting kitty :)

  • Hank, I love you.

  • "Two or three gallons to the mile"...LOL

    Are you driving a tank with flat tires? (Yes I know tanks are on tracks...)

  • What do american have with thinking Europeans don't shave? O.O

  • I still laugh at this... I mean, I get that small cars are great, and super big trucks are ridiculous, but I just can't FIT in a smart car... I'm too big.... :( Otherwise I would totally buy the smaller cars.... So average sized cars that can be green are what I would like.

  • come to europe and you will see why smart cars are needed

  • @JaffaJamz he is being sarcastic in this video :) he actually much prefers small, fuel efficient cars

  • @JaffaJamz sarcasm. But yes, i agree. Some places in Europe really need them... But why get a smart car when you can get a Small Alfa Romero or Peugeot?.

  • 666 dislikes....

  • "It turns out people get upset when you tell them you wouldn't cry if they died."

    That sentence needs to be in one of John's future books.

  • man, this is an awesome song.... Why wasn't it in the 2nd album??

  • I nearly cried I as laughing so hard at the devil horned salute bit.

  • your song sucks ♥

  • @mauidude3 You should listen to his song about quarks it is quite good.

  • Some times a small car is good. if ther is a traffic jam look for the closest side walk it fits.

  • you know What tiny cars do Suck. cars with massive V8's that Make a Load of noise and Have a massive Power output and generally feats of amazing engineering  they are Just AWESOME. this Is quite Sad because I always considered myself a nerdfighter but i'm afraid i don't agree with you on this.

    what's the point of having cars if they can't go fast, make noise and be huge.

  • @Tomalarion The point is not killing the planet.

  • i have an itty bitty car :) i drive a yellow volkswagon bug. and enjoy seeing others hit each other when i drive by lol.

  • @emvln92 There's a Volkswagon store by my local mall. My boyfriend told me that he loved going to the mall solely so he could punch everyone who was with him. I feel the same. Props to you.

  • Comment removed

  • hehe.... I love Mini Coopers... Specifically the older square-er ones :3 with a union flag on the top :D

  • Im sorry to say that i cant fit in a small car

  • detroit woot!

  • you did this song before in Brotherhood 2.0

  • Remember when Hummer still existed? DAMN!

  • Are you stupid 2-3 mpg.....well not if you want to live on streets u bitch you obviously don't care for the world that keeps you alive your such a jerk.....ass

  • @ZoneOFrandom GIANT SQUIDS OF ANGER! he was being sarcastic he runs an eco website.

  • @ZoneOFrandom Hank has a website called Eco-Geek check it out. He was invited to the car show to check out the new electric cars for his website.

    DFTBA

    -Nerdfighters

  • ...they need fins!

  • LOL There all probrably kitty :)

  • Thank God for the volume control...

  • Sarcasm... DFTBA

  • Dush!!!!

  • Oh wow. I just finished reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson and heard Hank sing "the Mini Cooper" and I just about fell off my chair. TINY COOPER. TINY COOPER'S NAME WAS A PUN, WASN'T IT. HOLY SNOOD I FEEL STUPID.

  • @TheWarnerSister I believe it was two puns. Mini cooper, and also he's huge.

  • @TheWarnerSister I want to thumbs up your statement but only because I FEEL JUST AS STUPID. and i call myself a nerd. geez.

  • @dolphin64576 I barely escaped with my life.

  • I want a car that gets 2 or 3 gallons to the mile hahahah

  • 'People get upset when you tell them that you wouldn't cry if they died.' I hope you didn't learn that through experience, either. >.<

  • It took me SO long to figure out that he was saying "V8 Hemmy, weighing eight thousand pounds if it weighs any".

    I though he was saying "V8 Hemmingway, eight thousand pounds..." Oops. In retrospect, that really doesn't make any sense, but still.

  • That was awsome dude.

  •  That was awsome dude.

  • There is literally a four inch spider on my floor right now. Just thought Nerdfighteria should know that.

  • @AttackoftheLuls are you ok?

  • I don't care if you're being ironic, sarcastic or sardonic you still suck.

  • @PsychoBillyNiki

    thou vacant rug-headed minimus, did you forget to be awesome today? that's the one thing you should never do!

  • @HalbleeresGlas Why is it that many comments on this particular video feature the word thou? Is it an attempt at sounding intellectual? Me-thinks the answer be yes.

  • @PsychoBillyNiki

    no, we're simply using the words of the genious that is william shakespeare to insult people properly. it's much more powerful than "you suck" "no u suck" conversations. =)

  • @HalbleeresGlas They are not merely Shakespeare's words they are called Elizabethan English. Thou dost blow.

  • @PsychoBillyNiki

    well, of course they belong in the elizabethan era, that is the time he lived in.

    but i certainly learned those words from shakespeare's plays. i, sadly, haven't mastered time-travelling yet..

    and i hear, shakespeare was quite good at making up words.

  • @PsychoBillyNiki GIANT SQUID OF ANGER! have a nice day. :) dftba

  • 1:17 Thats not a mini...

  • The smart car lives in the 7th circle of hell?(O_o)

    a river of boiling blood and fire, to a level commensurate with their sins? WOW

    It sux but goddamn!

  • I wish you weren't being sarcastic.

    Tiny cars are for betas.

  • itty-bitty, pretty, witty, city, pity $#!^^y, serendipity, gritty,flitty, Is there any suffix easier to rhyme with?

  • crap

    

  • Hank Green, you are the next Randy Newman.

  • *tilts head to the side*

    Hank to you have D.N. Angel and.... InuYasha on your book shelf????

  • 631 People didn't catch the sarcasm. :(

  • lol i was there

  • Ì want a car I can use to win ... A war in south east asia and need stairs to get up in

    favourite line!

  • Although I don't need a bloody SUV... I do have a family, so tiny cars don't work for me now. That doesn't make me a bad person.

  • This is completely irrelevant, but may I ask what is the series of manga that I see on your shelf? :D

  • cool song

  • @andrearez20 good lord, I see a lot of the gaint squid of anger, but very little of the nerdfighter. Yes, there are a lot of americans who are idiotic and don't five a damn about the environment, but I happen to be an american. and I care about the environment. I care about a lot of issues, and instead of dissing us and turning into a cephalopod of anger, why don't you go out and spread the awareness. educate them like hank does instead of swearing at them and writing a bunch of false info.

  • @andrearez20 That's pretty harsh. A majority of Americans did not design those cars, and plenty of us do not drive them. Right now, you are asking for violence and destruction, but does that mean everyone in your country is violent? No. That is a racist and outrageous accusation. Plenty of Americans are idiots, yes, but you can never speak in absolutes. 

  • @andrearez20 Hank was being sarcastic check out his website Ecogeek.

  • This guy has the right idea watch?v=_RDgi_Qi_p0

  • What about a tiny 1 seater sports car/convertible? Imagine it - 10 horsepower (probably a 160-200 cc honda 4 stroke engine), chain drive style manual bicycle-like transmission with plenty of high and low gears. 100-140 pounds, 5-6 feet long, 2-3 feet wide, probably a top speed of around 80-90 but acceleration in town beating most normal cars! Also around 200mpg at a steady 40 mph! - Like a go-kart that looks like a mini Mazda MX-5 / BMW Z4 / insert car of choice.

  • If you want a big powerful car that does great gas mileage, you'd be surprised what you get from the V6 3 litre Diesel jaguar Jeremy clarkson drove on top gear!

  • You're cool LOLOLOL

  • Try a Ferd F-Teenthousand. That truck's so big It's a whale home. And that whale just ate a horse. And that horse is as big as your house.

  • It would rime a bit better if you would say not "they're just not worth my time" but "they're just not worth my while"... overall nice

  • this song sounds like was made by a gas seller ......either way i still love small cars

  • are you sure this aren't making up for a small something

  • I miss song Wednesday

    

  • kutas

  • If he only had 3 kids then maybe he would respect the SUV.

  • EVEYONE. HE'S an ENVIORMENTALIST. HE'S BEING SARACASTIC

  • @milkyway531

    I likey your typey mistakey (:

  • Point taken. Point agreed with.

  • @RautjarviProductions you really dont get it do you? :L

  • @carsalbuja Thou churlish hell-hated pigeon-egg! Did you not watch the video in its entirety? He was being completely sarcastic! He runs an environmental website and gives Hummers the middle finger every chance he gets. Obviously, the redneck here, is you. I'm sorry, but you forgot to be awesome.

  • @untitledmusicproject dont mind the squids of anger

  • @carsalbuja he runs a site called Ecogeek....SARCASM!

  • stfu god

  • Buying a car that could win a war in Southeast Asia is one of the classic blunders.

  • the bigger the car the smaller the....

  • I love that smaller cars get better gas mileage. Yes, I enjoy clean air, too. It's just that I'm six foot, so I can't exactly fit very well. It's painful for me to imagine myself as I try to squeeze into a Smart Car and try to fit my things in there as well. Oh well, I can always stick with a Camry.

  • @VictoryAsIAm I don't know about the Smart Car, because I've never been in one, but I have a few friends who are in the 5'11" to 6'2" height range and they fit comfortably into my Toyota Echo (which I don't think Toyota makes anymore /sadface).

  • tiny cars suck

  • @Hummers222 piss of man!

  • @Hummers222 piss of man! I usualy dont hate on people I dont know, but ´mon ;O

    Even if we dont have anything to do with this global warming what do you really lose from driving a bit more afficient? ;P Just saying dude :D

  • Dude, say truth. You like big cars because they make your penis huge.

  • @Garik114 and you like small cars cause the car and your penis matches? :)

  • @crypded: hahhahahaha

  • You. were. at. the auto show. omg. WHY didn't I go last year? WHYY!?

  • They should change the materials cars are made out of (even more) so that they are lighter... not smaller. (Same effect on mileage and energy required, without being tiny.)

  • @TheOJDrinker still going to get shitty milage becauce your driving a box down the highway. tiny cars have a lower drag coefficient giving them better gas milage. somewhere around 80% of the cars power is used to overcome wind resistance once it hits 100kph so just making them lighter wont be the same

  • lets see the people that rated down and wrote ridiculas comments, get in their prius,smart car, and all the other clown cars ans see if they can keep up with the expectations of NORMAL comact cars, mid-size cars, full size cars, light trucks, half ton pick ups, 3/4 ton pick ups, and full size pick ups.

  • Haven't you ever seen a nerdfighter in a '68 Dodge Charger 440 Six-Pack with a positraction rear and four speeds on the floor? Of course you haven't! And that's precisely why I want a '68 Dodge Charger 440 Six-Pack with a positraction rear and four speeds on the floor! Because when someone sees a car that remains still whilst altering the Earth's rotation beneath it, being driven by a nerdy white boy with glasses and a giraffe-love shirt... come on! That's GOT to reduce worldsuck!

  • You SUCK !!

  • Like it or not, your big car mentality of last year is well so... last year. Small cars and cars that don't suck gas are rapidly becoming the norm. Although I do not disagree that some people NEED large vehicles for bigger families or for the work that they do... it isendlessly annoying when someone things that a smart or a Mini or other compact are "stupid" because they are small cars. Just as an example of them NOT being stupid. I saved $5000. in 2 years in fuel cost alone over my Dodge Ram

  • @smartcarfor2 @BlueRain47568 It's a sarcastic song, folks. Take a Xanax and chill.

  • @ryuuseicha a good comic lets the steam off. Of course its sarcasm. It's also a cry out against change. No one wants to have to break in a new pair of shoes or use a different tooth paste because the manufacturer decided to change things up, but that's life. I'd LOVE to have my 6500 pound 400 HP Dodge Quad Cab again. I just cant afford to go into the bank robbing business to keep gas in it or tires on it. I got the point of the song, I'm only commenting because there is a flip side.

  • Wow guys... Small Cars are good. Big cars are just plain stupid.

    Small cars are leading to the future, If you want to destroy the earth, then buy a huge car. (No I'm not a Stupid Enviromental Faggot, But think about my point). Small Cars can save space, Plus they are sleek, and have actually lots of room in some (Hummer....nooooo). Just cause everyone wants all the Big brand car companies to build huge cars, doesn't mean they will. SMALL CARS FTW!

  • OMG I HATE SMALL CARS!!!!!!! they are just stupid and only ignorant people drive them.....

  • Yeah cause tiny cars are fuel efficient; that's fucking stupid man, I mean I don't wanna save money. They also cost less shit if I wanna car I want something expensive something that cost more then a fucking house you know? Something going over 300 mph I know I'm never going that fast I just wanna show off.(if your to ignorant to understand it's sarcasm)

  • @AlecMier you're obviously right...but i know that it's redundant to say: i mean you no offense

    you don't have to be sarcastic, i mean in what way does that make your rhetoric skill more efficient than just being nice and saying it the way it's intended?

    to me it seems more nerdfighter-ly...unless it's in song :P

  • @eladps Haha sarcastic is something I do when I'm bored out of my mind had nothing better to do... I mean that's what youtube was made for... for people unbelievable bored.

  • @AlecMier i've never seen that actually...i mean there's a lot of bordom going around but mostly i've seen it's way more about having an out to fall back on than bordom

  • @weaponexpert1 NEWS FLASH.... SMALL CARS HATE YOU EVEN MORE.

  • @weaponexpert1 Then you can die of asphyxiation when your hummer or other comparable vehicle destroys the Earth's atmosphere.

  • Thankyou for adding in the "Yes...I WAS being sarcastic." annotation...for a second there I was concerned. I like the look of some large and powerful machines...but the practicality and cost always wins out.

    Brain pwns eyeball!

  • thats actually really good, and pretty funny lol. btw, i own a smart car! woot!

  • You should have rhymed it as "worth my while" rather than "worth my time". I have a feeling that at some point you wrote it that way, still, this is awesome.

  • @MasterBoy392 I agree. I generally find Hank to have a "merry and lively mood".

  • retard ? :o

  • new viper is asome but your dumb ass gets in the way

  • complete gay !!

  • I love the fact that all those people in the comments dont get that Hank is being SARCASTIC and he actually runs eco-geek and hates hummers and stuff.

    On the other hand,even though it is idiotic to not even watch a video to the end before judging, the fact that all these people actually defend small cars that use less fuel, is kinda cool. In any way, Hank got his way,he's had people react and discuss. :)

  • you better change ur line of work as singer lol.........

  • Hank, head of EcoGeek.

    Lol!

  • FREEBIRD!!!

  • WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HANK GREEN!?
