Brotherhood 2.0: Eating Toilet Paper

[joekufel]

1:34 hahahahahaha



[rowena137]

My friend is a very big fan of your books, thinks you're an amazing author, but has never heard of vlogbrothers before. If only she saw this, and the so many other humiliating videos from you. I would love to see her reaction ;)

[bubblinkaa]

@rowena137 they're not humiliating... they're awesome! DFTBA, never!

[rowena137]

@bubblinkaa Don't worry, I know they're awesome, every one of their videos is :) It's the fact that to others they would seem humiliating, but they never care, is just one of the things that makes them awesome ;) I'm sure my friend would still laugh though :L DFTBA x

[RyanMurphyTube]

I can do this DFTBA.

[poonahh]

NO FLUFF:o

[RyanMurphyTube]

@poonahh No fluff indeed :( It will get there though! It's weird that you can talk about the past and the future in this way... DFTBA!

[poonahh]

@RyanMurphyTube That's true. It makes me feel intellectual knowing what they at that point don't, although they currently do...

[MusicSavesMySoul022]

now we know how your gallbladder got fucked up.

[Stratos3037]

"I didn't vote...in 2000" That hurt me a little "even though I could have voted in Florida" That tore at my soul...

[rubinak29]

3rd c: DFTBA

[Scorpsed]

How many views did this video have when it came out? He's talking about "a viewer" but how could the 3rd video of brothers talking to each other already have viewersother than themselves?

[moonlady3000]

@Scorpsed They had a few IRL friends that watched them from the start. And also within the first month they already had a small internet following. It wasn't until a few months in that they had a substantial internet following that they dubbed 'nerdfighters' after John saw a game in an airport arcade called 'aerofighters' that he thought was called nerdfighters because of the weird font on the front.

Then the viewerbase skyrocketed in July after Accio Deathly Hallows of course.

[Scorpsed]

@moonlady3000 Hey, thank you very much for that answer! :) I'm here since the beginning of 2010 and missed a lot of stuff, sadly. For how long have you benn a Nerdfighter? It's not common to build a fanbase sp quickly is it? And I certainly didn't know Accio Deathly Hallows had such an impact.

(Sorry for the question overflow. ^^ Greetings from germany.)

[moonlady3000]

@Scorpsed I've been a Nerdfighter since sometime in August of 2007. No, it's not common to build a fanbase so quickly, people just seemed to really and Hank. The more than one person vlogging on the same channel thing was brand new then. I think they were the first to do it. Accio Deathly Hallows was their first video to get on the front page, so a lot of people saw it and subscribed because of it.

[XxXundertheroseXxX]

I just started watching all the vlogbrothers videos and John, I am really disappointed in you for not voting in 2000.

[WhatsUpUrSphincter]

John hasn't really changed at all. First John Green happydance! Totally fangirling over here.

Video #4: Check. DFTBA. I love you all.

[fluffysucks08]

It's official, the Bush Administration was all John Green's fault.

Goddamnit John.

[serenamina]

Awesome Video!

How many pieces did you make it through the first time you tried this challenge?

<3

[OMGChicks1]

just think about it, TFiOS, didn't even exist then, no one knew it would exist then either, wow.

[moonlady3000]

@OMGChicks1 Well, according to John he knew. Only it wasn't about what it ended up being about. xD

[maryamzeinomar]

Is this John's first video? I can't seem to find his video that was supposed to be after Hank's first video. I'm so confused!

[WhovianRentPhan13]

"p.s. 500 Miles is definitely a punishment"

Flash forward to the 2012 Tour De Nerdfighting show closer...

... John and Hank singing 500 miles by the Scottish duo The Proclaimers...

[WTBman2011]

I need to try this.

[alremul]

Lack of gesticulation. Odd.

[stuttersomthing]

ah this is just so weird. no nerdfighters. slow jump cuts. slower talking. SO BUZZY

[SluggerTeethForever]

Love inconvient truth!! The more I watch your videos the more I love you guys!!! These videos are amazing and I you guys are awesome. You can never forget to be awesome. 

[ImogensImagination18]

John Green eating toilet paper...and this man has become on of the biggest weblebrities of all time. starting from the beginning because my TFiOS wont get to me until the 18th :D DFTBA

[Jessicle9]

I'm starting from the beginning! Wish me luck!

[LamanKnight]

I knew right from when he suggested it that John was thinking about eating toilet paper and discussing the political situation in Nepal, himself. If I'd been paying attention to Nepal while I was in high school, I would have done the exact same thing.

[phoenixfeathered]

Still no blinking!

[NOTjak]

Such terrible jump cuts! Sooooo sloooooow! <3 them!

[storyofsarah]

ah. i wish I'd known about them in the first year

[SNICKERFACED]

eating toliet paper? pah, past John Green, it only gets worse from here!!

[cardichick]

Mom: What are you doing?

Me: Watching a video with a guy eating toilet paper

Mom: oh, i see

Me: Guess who the guy is

Mom: Who?

Me: John Green

Mom: But... I thought he was an author... why is he eating toilet paper?

[ChaoticCookie37]

@cardichick What else do authors do? :p

[CHARmanderLIE]

Peter's baby will soon be four years old :,)

[alwayzjello]

@CHARmanderLIE You mean 5 years old.

[missemify]

Oh how the happy dance has evolved.

[PiEmAnPoTaToEs4LiFe]

MORE JOKE VIDEOS please!!! :)

[bellacullen98a]

Umm... either somebody has written out these subtitles or the robot that does has gotten VERY advanced VERY quickly... Eg "Our happy dances are vastly different *dances* YES!". It even understood him while he was eating toilet paper...

[WithYouImHome]

I'm confused... is this John's first video? Where is January 2nd??

[freezie656]

@WithYouImHome He didn't upload it properly onto the vlogbrother's channel. I dunno where it is though

[WithYouImHome]

@freezie656 That's okay, I just searched for it and found it :P But thanks!

[dieskie2479]

@WithYouImHome watch this watch?v=Tqi9QrNLxcE :)

[Vgirl0829]

It's good to know they were always awesome!

[gracepifer04]

The very first John Green Happy Dance.... <3

[smurphgirl131]

I love how John gives up on eating toilet paper... If he had any idea he would soon be waxing his chin and eating blenderized happy meals, he would be more than happy to eat the toilet paper.

[SpazzMaker]

That was an abrupt ending... But gosh, though, John is still the exact same. The difference between John and Hank, Hank got less creepy, and John got more puffy. :)

[wintermoons1215]

OMG JOHN BLINKED IN THE BEGINNING OF VLOGBROTHERS!!!!! MY MIND IS BLOWN!

[animation508]

I miss when John and Hank did politics. It's not very often that they do it now.

[masonman1222]

watching them all!

[lorcanxlysander]

John's foreshadowing on Lexical Gaps

[iflipped4u]

ewwwwww

[Khuratokh]

john speaking so slowly is slightly unnerving

[CherryLaxative]

Peter picked a project of pickled peppers?

[missawesomesocks]

I watched this video and all I could think was, "Oh my God! I love John Green."

[TheNobleHouseOfBlack]

the evolution of the happy dance.

[TheDandyLion88]

John looks almost the same now as he does here...but Hank looks TOTALLY different...

[x2sh0rt4ux]

corn dogs and happy dances and challenges have been around FOR EVER.

[andergra000]

And if you're not going to eat 5 sheets of toilet paper while discussing the political situation in Nepal, well, I'm going to. CLASSIC

[vikkiintheTARDIS]

First evidence of the giant squid of anger, right?

[Benjofresh]

So much has changed, yet so much has remained the same :D

[britiansrhott]

I love that this is the first time when John mentions him not voting in 2000 and be the reason behind George Bush and all...

[LifeMustard]

John has lost weight in the past few years... I just noticed.

[MrMinVik]

wat a weird happy dance

[AhtramFul]

HE BLINKED

[amsinger112]

Lol I was watching Strange Addictions and someone was addicted to eating toilet paper

[TheBlackVeiledBride]

Is it just me, or does John look EXACTLY the same in this video as he does now? And Hank looks totally different?

[LilyTheAnnoyance]

PS:

Remember when John's book became a #1 bestseller recently? He did a happy dance.

It was EXACTLY like the one Hank displayed on January 3rd, 2007. (Except with spinning. xD)

[LilyTheAnnoyance]

I'm starting from the beginning of Brotherhood 2.0.

There are videos missing in various places, but they reference them anyway.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

WHY VIDEOS NOT EXISTENT?!

[andrineslife]

Movie Magic!

[va5el1ne]

Baby warming present <3

[kickassyo16]

and so the giant squid of anger was born.

[13cmwright99]

its funny that after 4 years this video has less comments then the one from a few minutes ago.

[RanaFormaggio]

First Giant Squid of Anger!!

[isinBohemianRhapsody]

I think this was my first video that I ever saw of you guys. Weird.

[TheMinuteVlog]

John! That baby is four! Where is hir present?

[nerdfighteress]

For the win.

[YusufAlaseeri]

Is this Happy Dance Version 1? No spin.

[TheEnglishGirle]

annunciation John, its annunciation.

[TheArtsyTuber]

Should we of gotten John and the Yeti a Baby Warming present for the unicorn slayer, henry?

[621jacob]

HANK IS SO SLOW AT TALKING!!!

[CustardStig]

@621jacob But this is John. Not Hank.

[ADDawning]

So I just discovered the Vlog brothers and as I delve into one nerd world of Doctor Who, I decided I would love to find out more about NerdFighters so I am watching their videos ... in order.

[Lauraa4023]

@ADDawning Same! Lol

[Windspirit21]

i too have a vastly differnet ahppy dance from them. its a kindof clap then fistpump thing with the sound of a chasregister at the end--minimalistic, i know, but that way it can be done in the presence of non-nerdifighters without making me look like a madman.

[CanNotBeScene]

0:22 oh how many times that was repeated since then..

[Anthonyk312]

three down, eight hundred and thirteen to go.

[tessisnottess]

Awesome! The first mention of movie magic!

[jaspertopaz78]

Because of you, I'm doing my thesis paper on the 2006 democracy revolution in Nepal.

[msDFTBAnerdfighter]

man, ive forgotten how big of a nerd i am.. and how much i really love the vlogbrothers. idk why but i always wanna type nerdbrothers! lol failness

[awesomeishabelful]

Toilet paper can't be that bad. I used to eat it all the time.. when I was 4 years old.

[hereverydayadventure]

"Brotherhood 2.0 viewer"

OMGosh...there are no nerdfighters yet, no nerdfighteria! mind blown!

[TheHatOfDestiny]

"A baby warming present?"

Welcome to your new baby!!

Ah, just another nerdfighter begining my journey through the vlog brothers.

[SpiritOfTheWolf1995]

i find it interesting that john is pretty much the same now as he was in 2007 (except he now has the 'daddy aura', but hank is alot louder, quicker and just all around more quirky. its weird to see how this all began

[MrStandfill]

I love how the video just drops off at the end. No "Goodbye.". No "See you next time.". Just "'I'm done talking now, so the video's over.' *black screen*". Haha.

[lemondrop5578]

John, it's easier if you don't roll it up in a ball...

Dun ask how I know.

[nathpollen]

When was the Brotherhood 2.0 website first made?

[ubermonkey120]

@nathpollen Your mom

[lemonice2700]

@nathpollen 2007

[stephenpaultaylor]

Great to see all of your old videos.  I'm kinda just discovering you guys now. Amazing stuff... great project... and you're still going! Nice.

[benzenelover]

It's called a birthday present.

[Lexicografia]

I've only watched a few of these and I'm already starting to obsess over how "Communication" is misspelled in the intro... help me

[kelseyhm]

@Lexicografia Yeah I scroll down to the comments during the intro..or it would probably drive me insane.. :L

[ChristiaanMurk]

@Lexicografia

That's because there's no "I" in Brotherhood!

[Lexicografia]

@ChristiaanMurk Haha, I've heard that one. Although for that to work they really should've taken out the 'i' in -tion, too.

[cho474chang]

To me it seems that Hank has changed a lot in videos, but John is really similar...

[kevinearlturner]

It continues.

[firehead0434]

Oh My god.....

You are wearing pants!!!!

Woo!

WHy not anymore? XD

[phillyeagles0328]

john looks kinda high in this video hahahaha. they're SOOOOOO mellow!!!!

[wytherwings]

this makes me nostalgic =]

aww I remember first watching this and discovering nerdfighteria...

[guinivereXbloodgood]

You know you're a nerdfighter when four-year-old youtube videos make you nostalgic. Oh to be sixteen again, first discovering vlogbrothers.

[willwonky]

@guinivereXbloodgood

You know you're a nerdfighter when you do this at 2am ;)

[19ladybug95]

@guinivereXbloodgood are you the me 4 years from now? cuz i just discovered vlogbrothers a few days ago, and i am 16. 

[guinivereXbloodgood]

@19ladybug95 CRAP. The Doctor warned me about this. Now the Time Pterodactyls have to come kill us.

[19ladybug95]

@guinivereXbloodgood well that's depressing... can i at least know some of my future before i'm annihilated?

[LelouchLAMPER0UGE]

The first siting of John Green!

[TheCommentCookie]

Your really haven't changed!

[0ShyLikeThat0]

i love that you guys have a death cab song in your old videos. moarrrrr?

[notamuggle11]

I was just on Mount Pisgah a few weeks ago!!! But now there is a huge ginormous cell tower there, marring the view a little bit. It's still quite pretty, though.

And thanks a lot for not voting in 2000. You fiend.

[webosity345]

MOVIE MAGIC!!

[bandnerd29316]

Pisgah!!!! That's my neck of the woods!

[NemiDragon]

I was gagging when you were eating the toilet paper....... Yucky but very funny :-)

[TheRabbit245]

When John announced that the Yeti was pregnant, I'm pretty sure he recycled the baby comment by saying something along the lines of the fact he's gonna have a baby, then like no, Sarah's having the baby. John Green = Joke Recycler.

[Leolmlr]

a baby warming present? thats a microwave isnt it?

[Hyperactivexp]

He did this on my birthday!!!! lol xD

[MyLIfeStudios]

i miss this intro , i miss 08s intro i miss the 09 intro I WANT A 2010 INTRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TweetySkywalker]

A birthday gift :D

[TeamJacobify]

OMG JOHN U BLINKED IN THIS VIDEO!

[photofaery]

generally the people in this country actually "Collect and Sort" as opposed to "Recycling". Just saying. :)

[MarioCort]

3rd vid cmnt

[outofthedark]

Past John, you talk sooo slowly!

[ianmauche]

first happy dance!

[GTFelver]

Why do you know that you have the ability to "down" one ply toilet paper?

[bombmistro]

i was there right about the time you posted this video it was crazy there

[picklepants0998]

I love love love these videos! =D keep up the god work guys!

[Brookecha]

You guys are Badass :)

[WhyDoesSheLoveHim]

Lmfao, oh my god.

[CleverestWitch2188]

MOVIE MAGIC.

Gah I miss the old videos.

-Sara

[AUJOY]

Think about it... baby Jack is almost three.... God, that's a bit scary! There's a little Nerdfightoddler in the world!

[Mariswimmer7]

Nerdfightoddler. That's the best word I've heard in a while.

[MercuryIcePrincess]

Jack? where do you get your info?

[AUJOY]

Video and Video info *points to the sidebar*

[averagenerd]

Slow talking, no puff, blinking, John Green...my how John has changed.

[catsrockmyhightops]

Toilet paper does not taste that bad. It's the same as tissues.

[whateverisright48]

See, that implies 2 things:

1. You have eaten tissues.

2. You enjoy the taste.

Lol.

[catsrockmyhightops]

Both are true. I'm quite an adventurous eater.

[demongirl913]

oops i accidentally voted that down... it was meant to be up... I'm sorry:( Yes you are quite an adventurous eater... :D

[strickerman101]

@whateverisright48 i have, it is actually very sour and not good

[FunnyByDefinition]

My happy dance is definitely closer to this one.

[DragonFire381]

Hey! This is back when you blinked during your videos!
