October 9th: The Feud Continues

[Shamhatter]

I am so proud to have bought that t-shirt :3

[hmol257]

Hate to say it Hank... but sadly John has a pretty good sense for candidates, it seems. Now it comes to the question of whether being a schmuck is enough of a reason to not vote for a politician if you still like the proposed policies. Bill Clinton anyone? Or does it matter what kind or level of schmuck? Interesting questions...

[MrSpazzyunicorn]

I LOVE NARWHALS!!THEY ARE THE UNICORN OF THE SEA!

[iflipped4u]

teehee Philip DeFranco hell yeah

[PrettyLoather]

Hahaha, John Edwards turned out to be a total schmuck!

[darklingtrush]

The presidential elections ARE a game of poker. Because the cards they're holding are never the ones they play out, be it because they themselves are schmucks or the other players are. Gut feeling is important. How else will you choose between douche 1 and douche 2?

[chriscobonham]

Yeah...about John Edwards....

[MrBobman28]

I play MTG and my second most played deck is zombies. There aren't even unicorns in my favorite card game. so zombies=full of awesome. unicorns= fail

[maddoraptor]

BEST GOOD MORNING JOHN

[TookItHomeToJenny]

I like zoombies beter because they tend to be in better stories, also they more effectivly highligh the human characters and are always a great socal metaphor. However, if it was a choice as to which I would like to locked in a room with or to take form in this reality unicorns are much nicer to hang out with, and are an effective form of transport...

[TookItHomeToJenny]

Phil!!!!

[spider19990506]

BRONYS

[lula839]

My Birth day!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[unforgettable789]

Unicorns weren't made from narwhals. They missed the Arc and became narwhals. 0D

[Lauraa4023]

FEUDING! lol

[danakaDENt]

TEAM NARWHAL

[1313badabing]

Unicorns definitely because of Harry Potter. Their blood has magical powers.

[pienkunicorn]

I think you are a little naive Hank. You do need to go with your gut. Because they ALL LIE. So picking the best poker player would not be a bad idea generally.

Unicorns are awesome.

[jimaarocks]

Hank. thank you for being on the unicorn side. I don't understand why people think of unicorns as fluttery girly things. I think of them as bloody, violent, awesome things. that do not want to kill me. :) but, since nobody has ever seen living proof of unicorns, who knows that they aren't, like, dogs? or rhinos? or narwhals? Same rule applies to zombies.

[ObiMomKenobi13]

OMGosh, Edwards did turn out to be a schmuck. John was right!

[lilylpotter3]

you could say that hank is on team edward >_<

[emilylikesyourface]

2:05

:D

[everlongview7]

Zombie procreation = zombie sex.

We all thought it. admit it.

[Emi183]

@everlongview7 I actually thought that it meant to kill people... until you pointed that out... Now I feel dirty :/

[HPwrocks]

hahaha now im watching this after.. in 2010.. now i have 20-20 vision and OBAMA FTW!!!

[niminonono]

I HATE THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! I'm over 18, SO TELL ME!!!

[RainingSockMonkeyz]

@niminonono to the best of my knowledge he is talking about philip defranco aka sxephil

[niminonono]

@RainingSockMonkeyz lol thanks... :P

[lajollacat]

Lol, when you first said zombies want to procreate, Idk if I was the only one who thought of this, but zombie sex came to mind. I'm sorry for ruining all of the users of Youtube's virginous minds. Bye now! :)

[ChristalClear]

what about a flesh eating unicorn from a forest which I forget because I haven't read the series for a LONG TIME!

[VideoCult1]

well in defense of john... john edwards was a shmuck....

[CaitysRAWR]

im in the middle. barrack and unicorns

i agree i would go for something that wont kill me and eat my flesh

and i relise that obama has already been elcted and i joined the feud when its way over but meh :D

xxx

[love2plysoftbll]

umm..... guys.... you realize that zombies are dead humans, right? i mean, yeah, humans are in the animal "kingdom", but...... zombies are dead humans....

GO UNICORNS!

[ArenGtv]

Narwhals; underwater unicorns.

[suicdekng]

I know I'm not the first to say it... but I'm going to get behind John's gut feelings from now on. Still love you, though.

-DFTBA-

p.s. - John is Booth to your Bones... without the awkward sexual thing.

[ViolaLullaby]

"All I care about is WHATS ON THE CARDS."

I think I'm sensing some feud in that sentence.

[HappyPerson19]

so, are you going to admit John Edwards is a schmuck yet, Hank?

[PatricksJessica]

You might rethink this choice after you read Rampant by Diana Peterfreund! Unless you already have by now, seeing as I'm a few years behind on watching the videos. :( But I'm catching up!

[masterohumans]

i agree, unicorns should win but only because they're like narwhals.

[FredSucks9809]

October 9th is my birthday!

[eragonlover1]

"And apparently most of them are 8s. That's weird." - lol. :)

The card metaphor was nice. Very nice video.

[slinkiesandpie22]

Unicorn<Narwhals. Bam.

[BANGtheDoleDrums]

I really really like the card metaphor. Good job!

[porcupine179]

... that was areally, really good metaphor.

[localibran]

Wow, you forgot to mention that you made (or posted) this vid on my 21st B-Day!!! DUUHH!!! x)

But you've got some good points. You really should be in politics. Or a lawyer. I'd be scared to debate against you, lol!

[BobThePeanutFairyMan]

well, jehad drowns... so.... maybe john edwards would be pretty good...

[fangirl0488]

Okay at the beginning what is he talking about?

[LoveShiaGDSN]

October 9th is the anniversary of John Lennon's birth :)

wow, I've never actually heard Hank's reasoning for being Team Unicorn. I'm definitely swaying here...

[localibran]

my birth too!

[nicciweasley]

Narwhals!!

[slmpd08]

I love your shirt!

[mylovelydame21]

Unicorns represent purity, love and hope. Zombies represent death, decay and disease. Can we say "ew"? I think we can.

[bookwormdaisy]

I've always known that you're awesome, but seriously. The unicorn thing gave me even more respect for you. :D

[peoplecallmeagoth]

narwhals!! omgosh!

they are fuggen awesome.

:D

[sweetreat2]

Do you guys live together or really far away

[MonisticWonder]

The reason they started this project was the fact that they LIVE ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE COUNTRY.

[gabbysaurus]

gahhh!!! i love narwhals!!! <3 <3 <3

[ThatNerdfighter]

8 for 08 as in 2008. makes perfect sense. so i guess you're playing your cards right.

badoodoodoodoo!

[Brighteh]

I also loved your card analogy. I'm a writer, so that metaphor caused an "OMG COOL OMG THAT'S COOL" firework to go off in my brain.

[Fralmunk]

Nice card analogy... I liked it :D

Oh by the way narwhals = win

[skyelightning]

UNICORNS FTW!

[senorsqueakydesk]

All presidential candidates are basically holding their cards face hidden. It isn't until they are actually elected that we find out what they are going to do.

[nikkibatoy]

posted on my bday :)

[FancyNewAmie]

After you said "and apparently a lot of them are eights, that's weird" a little notice popped up on my computer informing me that I had eight minutes of battery left, freaky!

[ShawnayNay]

that metaphor with the cards = made of AWESOME !!

[oxxxdevinxxxo]

also narwahls definitley pwn.

[oxxxdevinxxxo]

I would have to go with the unicorns. I dont think its really their fault that their blood sustained lord voldemort. look at how much time it took harry potter to defeat him.how are the unicorns supposed to stand up to the wrath of voldemort? I'm new to brotherhood 2.0I just finished harry potter 7 for the 2nd time and was trying to find out wat happened to the dursleys but instead i found hank's accio deathly hallows. i am almost finished watching them all in order & i think they are hilarious.

[dawnatthedisco]

narwahls ftw! :D

[Uhsheel1515]

NARWHALS PWN

[PoserInAParka]

so there's an advertisement on my page about clean coal and i think that's pretty funny regarding this video and hank's opinion.

[DJWidget]

But zombies aren't really animals. Their primary drive is to eat. They exist to eat humans. And the fact that one turns into a zombie afterwards....that's more a spooky biproduct than the first zombie's real intention. They just want to eat us. Unnatural.

[daadstaz]

well technically you could say that about vampires...and werewolves.

[DJWidget]

Vampires, yes. They are unnatural critters that use humans as cattle. But they don't really want to turn everybody because they'd lose a food supply. They live to drink blood and that's about it. With werewolves, it depends on what style you think of: the slobbering rabid kind or the "still able to think logically while in wolf mode" style. I think werewolves are like animals with a little extra - they can turn people, but it's a hunting thing. *shrugs* I think I just proved my nerd status.

[10MrsDavidTennant10]

Hem hem, actually vampires don't just live to drink blood. Some have romantic and heart-melting relationships with clumsy, mundane girls and then force them into marriage, give them a demon baby by accident and then turn their wife into a vampire and live happily ever after.

But otherwise yeah that's about right.

[wiccawonderwoman]

:O!

Sam: "There's no such thing as unicorns? *bitchface*"

Muahaha!

[speede179]

Hooray! Unicorns!

[thewhitepigeon]

Narwhals are amazing.

(I don't know why, 'cept for the BRILLIANT book The Voyage of the Narwhal by Andrea Barett)

And I am an equestrienne.

Thus, unicorns.

[manaiscoo]

lol and apparantly many of them are eights.

[Amiryfey]

I vote Unicorns too

[DittoFreak]

Comment 196:

This was filmed about a year ago, so Barak got in and this John Edwards guy didnt. I'm from australia and the only john edwars ive ever heard of is the psychic...

[BOdblsizzle]

No you need to hate nurwhales....okay...not the animals persay...more like a specific person on my floor that everyone doens't like have nicknamed nurwhale....ummm.nevermind

[LindsKid]

Many of the cards are 8's. Because it is the 2008 elections. The cards knew Hank, and for that reason, your cards may be smarter than Jon :D

[emmyymichelle]

GO UNICORNS, i picked them too!

ps, nice card/presidential politics analogy. i'm pretty sure i'm gonna use that in my government paper...

[nerdfightersftw]

>=[

I still love John Edwards.

[stewartncolbert]

Haha, John Edwards is a proven shmuck now!

[chrissyjeano]

Only four of the cards are '8s', Hank.

[Umeboshi18]

Why does everyone forget about unicorns OUTSIDE of HP? I mean if you want something to help the environment, go get a unicorn! Unicorn myths have a history of healing powers for people and the earth! So, yeah. Unicorns all the way.

Also, very nice description with the cards.

[ThatDudeOnThatPlace]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO john wins the zombie unicorn fight!!!

He should run 4 pres. though

both should

[obliosguitar]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Hank!

I think Hank wins (both feuds). I also think he should run for president 4 years from now.

^_^

[thegirlieinblue]

i agree completely.

:P

[blakergirlali07]

He won`t be old enough to run for president in four years since he won`t be 35 yet (unless something changes)...So I`m thinking we will have to wait another four years for that. But for the record, I would TOTALLY VOTE FOR HIM!!!!

[kiwigirl43]

LOL!

[johnnywhiteshoe]

EDWARDS UNICORNS '08!! i want that shirt!

[ElaynesFavorites]

Hank, you should be president. You have all your priorities straight and know what to do and how to do it.

ZOMBIES!

[kayfiggy]

when you fanned the cards out and noticed that 'apparently many of them are 8s' i lost it! so great. :)

[marionhoney]

Hahahaha! Gosh, I love you guys. That freeze face made me laugh til it hurt!

[malteasermia1]

WOW excellent representation of politics!

HANK FOR PRESIDENT!

[charlottepoet]

i love the metaphor with cards and politics

[VPTerry]

This is all assuming that the unicorn you stumble upon in the enchated woods hasn't recently had children...I would tend to think that if they had children near by they would be more likely to protect their young and impale you with that ever so convienent spike on their head. That's why I choose zombies, because let's face it...it would be easier to run from a zombie than a unicorn.

[PsychoCellist]

This is EXACTLY why unicorns are better. Because zombies are out to get us all! Oh no! And they're kind of creepy (not to be judgemental).

You're right...feuding is ugly. BUT ENTERTAINING!

[Fanpire268]

If you like Unicorns (Hank) then you hate Tonks.

Figure it out. It just takes some thinking.

[iluvpunk]

zombies can reproduce without killing!

watch Dead Alive!

Peter Jackson movie? eh?

[artistsComplex]

yay. i feel special that i get the beginning part.

and the four-part singing was cool.

[supersexysix]

narwhals ftw! they are so totally my junk

[SereneLullaby]

Original Unicorns were not horses but donkeys.

[SkylerYAOI]

dude, very srry...but tht IS politics. no matter how politically aware u are, these ppl are ALL probably full of shit. So It IS all a guessing game

[kakashiwithoutmask]

God, i wish under-18s could vote...i love politics but im just too young...

[kirbymoe]

WICKED SHIRT

[RahOhReplica]

narwhals pwn!!

[YunieTheOracle]

I love these videos SO much! It just irks me when they talk politics....

[SquireCD]

If it annoys you that they talk politics, then I am guessing that you're too young to vote.

I love it when they talk politics.

[YunieTheOracle]

Although I am too young to vote, that has nothing to do with it. I consider myself independent and politically informed. I just don't think politics should be part of the videos.

Now, let us watch as my comment rating plummets.

[Helgacabbage]

I think most Nerdfighters are independent and fairly well politically informed, but part of being smart is having a healthy (and in these guys' cases, witty) debate about the things that matter most in the world. Politics covers everything we care about. And debating it challenges the old brain cells. It totally belongs in these vlogs.

[maryflt]

john edwards is a lying decepticon.

he's bad for EVERYONE'S health, and healthcare

[greyXeyedXgirl]

I do wish that there was better public transportation in the states though. Especially after living in Stockholm! Because public transportation is awesome and makes you healthy! I can walk 3 or dare I say 5 blocks without even thinking, "Damn, I'm tired." But that has nothing to due with public transportation, just deals with businesses being in close proximity to each other and people's homes. I hate cities though. Small towns though are nice...not as loud and smelly.

[shmaller]

I feel bad: I know what you're talking about.

[lillyevans22]

i loved the intro!!!

[Selene147]

I love that you actually stand up for and defend what's important to you, acknowledging that not everyone will agree but that it's what you believe in. I love that, I respect that, you, Hank, are made of awesome.

[lookmira]

Wait a minute... Envi is in the top three, but it's not the top priority. The top priority has got to be people. Real, breathing living-right-now people. Real dying-right-now people. That's first. Then envi.

People put a face on tragedy (ask 50% of girls in west africa)

Envi doesn't have a face. It's easier. But not better. Start small, I think. Move up from the people to the environment.

[EKS511]

I agree that what's on the cards is more important. The problem is the cards most politicians show you aren't the ones they intend to play.

[faithandsuch]

do i spot a "ceci n'est pas une pipe" tee from threadless? rock on.

[CoffeeShopPunk]

Zombie Unicorns?

Do they kill people or other unicorns?

[timothyj332]

I totally agree! Go by the cards:)

[Phobic42]

i like the poker metaphor.

[regularguy5mb]

I wonder if there are any zombie nerdfighters? I bet there are a few.

[xxbeatlesxxgirl]

yeah. somewhere

[OrsoIclaim]

I'm a zombie at 3 o'clock in the morning....

[riekathegifty]

the undead want miniature soccer teams..

[lundylow]

2:07 for the win.

[Britt10711]

Good poker/politics metaphor.

[leigero]

Well ok so the Narwahl comment was already made *sigh*

im ALMOST caught up

[ceramicwings]

nice card metaphore. Rock on brother nerdfighter, rock on.

[paradisepictureshow]

Dennis Kucinich FTW!

[cocobeachgirl33]

John Edwards did you see the MTV special with him it was really good was able to give alot of info on what his priorities are.

[1mcsource]

solar flares my friend, solar flares.

[meisastarya]

whooooo! narwals!

[Berthaballs16]

i say.....we all just vote for Jesus .....Vote for Jesus 2008

[whitneyofgreatness]

i agree. jesus all the way!

[Idianarose]

I say we vote for the green spaghetti monster instead

[kiyoshi85]

nodnod! *____*;;;

Politics are like.... yugioh card battles!!

[whitneyofgreatness]

Edwards, and Obama = decent political candidates. hillary, now thats were it is. please dont kill me.

[mythmanjay]

But we appreciate your willingness to sprawl over that grenade!

[emily932]

ron paul ftw

[xxbeatlesxxgirl]

eh...maybe. quite possibly. i dont know

[AKshortBOY]

I want him to win, though he wont...

[KennilworthyWhisp]

Edwards Unicorns '08! hahahaha! i love ya Hank!

love the intro by the way! very spiffy!:)

[guruofALLgurus]

damn... im under 18 and i know exactly what u are talking about with the plugin... and i dont even have a mac....

damn im a loser

[DarknessOurBride]

it really doesn't matter what is on the cards, because all politicians lie. good luck getting anything done about global warming, gay marriage, etc., after they get into office. it's all a big game just to get votes.

[vlogbrothers]

this is discussed in the following video.

[graverobber123]

i know... i realized that when i watched it next :)

[emobarbie23]

Edwards/Unicorns '08

It is hard to explain exactly how unbelievably awesome I find that phrase, Hank.

YOU ARE TRULY MADE OF AWESOME!

Keep it up :)

[amywithlemon]

argh... i knew what you meant in the beginning. and NOOOOOO... that's not you. yay for that. seriously... yay for that.

i feel bad every time he tells me i'm phil'd in. *shudders*

[TheTrueVampireess]

i have to watch it on youtube brotherhood 2.0 website keeps messing up lol

[DZDownUnder]

Ron Paul is the man your looking for!!

Im Australian, so my Opinion is not biased, Seriously if you want a Intelligent honest politician with integrity Ron Paul is you man!

[co3]

dzdownunder knows what he's talking about. ron paul is your man, the only hope for reform in america.

[viktrnaza]

theirs alot of views to global warming.

[kraznadar]

good job man! this was honestly a really thoughtful and clever video!

And no, I am not a spambot. Though I did once create my very own personal spam robot. Like a real-life robot-type spambot. For the most authentic mimicry of human messaging, I privileged him with the whole spectrum of human emotion.

...But now he just hangs out in my room and touches himself...

[DZDownUnder]

lol

[lamarnza]

Woo Hoo! Go Edwards. Sorry, I know I'm 2 young to vote but, yeah my dad is really strong about his voting opinions and quite frankly I agree with him so........yea.....*awkward silence*

[Larryk12308]

errrrrrrrrr Yeah! I know about sxyphil an

(all due respect) he does NOT fill me

Guess I'm more a what the buck kind of guy!

(Insert non pc b-word here )

[therichards2000]

same here!

[PeaceOut2U07]

Also I'm under 18, so that's good.

[PeaceOut2U07]

Feuding does bad things to you. Look at Hank's face... no offense

Hank, but your lip is all crooked and your eyes are mad.

[FutureBondChick]

Read Caramel's comment on John's MySpace. 'tis brill.

[elmogrl27]

wow what an amazing comparison!! i wonder if my english teacher will like it. its really awesome. :]

[ForeignBelle14]

My vote is...Obama/Unicorns 2012...(Can't vote until then)once you said zombies want to kill you then that decided for me.

[Hobgoblins]

Great video! Although, when I read the summary, I expected something like Hillary and Obama playing Magic, or something...

That would be so jokes.

[rupazer0]

You seen the film, 'Stardust,' yet? It proves that unicorns rock. Big time. A unicorn could take a zombie anyday.

[Kupo923]

I love feuds/discussions. And I love you guys, you're too interesting!! *forces herself to do homework*

[RememberHarryPotter]

lol.

btw, is anyone else having trouble getting onto the brotherhood 2.0 website? because ever since the new server was put into action i couldn't access it. : (

[Dumbocratic]

well done video! cool shirt ;)

[andrediasptm]

what the hell? oh ok..

[Lovifrog]

Let people marry who or whatever they want.

Let women do whatever they want with their bodies. Just keep us safe. Global Warming or not it is pretty hot under a berka.

[SirSnipesalot93]

I-Movie...free?

[lotrgrl]

Not ONLY does John Edwards have a good enviroment plan, he has a good HEALTH plan.

Oh Johnny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.

Just had to put that in there.

[yellowpages67]

I pretty much agree with you on the global warming thing.

As you said the other day, It isn't gunna matter about good health care if we can't feed ourselves.

[gidgetblogs]

I agree ..this was a total 5 start thumbs up video!

[gidgetblogs]

5 star***

[saraadx3]

seroiusly you guys are awesome. but i think john should run for pres. no offense hank. john could make you attorney general or something (: maybe environmental general? new office branch, eh eh?

[nazr14]

"there are lots of cards in the presidential deck, and apperently many of them are eights..." LMAO

...yeah...u guys rock!

[goonieschick3]

nice metaphor with cards!
