  • i love that i now know why he was in amsterdam :D

  • very interesting video thanks

  • Too bad Greg Mortenson took the money for himself.

  • Dang-it! I missed the free download...

  • If he is anything other than a total gentleman, i'm going to gouge his eyes out. <3

  • brilliant video

  • Makes me laugh every single time.

  • Must see drunken John utterly embarrassing himself. I wonder if anyone in the room knew what was going on and dug out their camera …

    And if I may ask, who DID you spend twelve minutes rambling to?

  • wow. and all I am doing is writing a sucky novel about hobos in a notebook. You and the rest of the nerdfighters are helping bangledesh get back on its feet. Just like my novel, I suck. However, thanks to nerdfighters, the world does not. DFTBA guys

  • wow. and all I am doing is writing a sucky novel about hobos in a notebook. You and the rest of the nerdfighters are helping bangledesh get back on its feet. Just like my novel, I suck.

  • Greg. A man who has taken atvantage of suffering people so he could make money. Ass. And his book sucked. I read it in school. I failed the class I had to read the book in, that quarter. It was the only quarter of the only class I had ever failed. And now, Greg, I find that the author of this boring book didn't even do half of the great things he claims that he has. Ass.

  • He's perfect.

  • LOL

  • John...I'm so sorry

  • I just got a little bit dizzy with embarrasment for you. Wow.

  • BAHAHAHAH!!!! I read Three Cups of Tea in my college anthropology class.

  • Aw, man, that's awful X3

    Poor John got all flushed calling it back XD

    Don't worry. Drinks are to blame!~ ><

  • yes! I am finally all caught up on vlogbrothers videos. this makes me happy :) You guys are really awesome & I love your videos.

  • Your encounter with Greg Mortensen was mortifiying...see what I did thar? ;D

  • @Dramaismyife lol! very cleverxD

  • Your house is beautiful :)

  • "THREAD IN YOUR PANTS" LOL even though i know he meant the thread on the website yourpants. org, i still found that absolutely hilarious. a thread in your pants. AHAHAHA

  • HEY! That comment that whte guys look alike offends me! Well, not me personally, because I'm not white, or a guy (I think) but by proxy, because my sons are. Although they probably do look alike. I don't know for sure, because I'm about two weeks away from delivering my second son, but I'll assme they do. Ok, they're not really white, more like beige (White + brown = beige). #rambling

  • why do you call me Hank? :(

    My name's Diana :((

  • I think #thingsthatdontmakesensetonewv­iewers should be a hashtag.

  • may 5th... thats childrens day in japan

  • Why are Socks white?

  • John, there's a your/you're mistake in the subtitles at 2:44.

    PLEASE fix it!

  • wow this would b great if i actually knew who greg mortenson was....

  • @KampioenuhNL ...

    oh my gosh.

    HE DID. -flail-

  • I AM DUTCH!!! =D

  • Please use this joke in your next nerd jokes video: What do you get when you take a room full of lumberjacks & mathematicians to see "Riverdance"? Logger-Rhthym-dancing!!! :D

  • cool everyone messes up sometimes huh

  • Oh. My. God. My jaw dropped. That was so hilarious and I bet that was so embarrassing.

  • Oh John, your embarrassment is my amusement.

  • Noooo! Link is down! Did i miss it??

  • I would read this the day after Hanko de Mayo *head desk*

  • ahahahaha win xD

  • Did you say good morning? How many pots of coffee did you have? Did you take an Evelyn wood speed talking class? Its 2:18 am. you just cracked me up..Great story..I love someone who tells 5 stories to get back to the original.point I am known for this..you remind me of me..except you are funnyer>sp?. Kate

  • John you revealed the yeti!!  The last link has a picture of you with the yeti and henry.

  • @KampioenuhNL and that is a still from a video

  • John, I SO MUCH LOVE your willingness to tell us about incidents in which you humiliate yourself.

  • yeeeeeeti revealed

    

  • oh wow, is that the yeti I spot in the picture from lemniscaat?

    THE MYSTERY, REVEALED!

  • This is not outsourcing-but I think that John should reluctantly and abeit with many qualifiers, confess 5 areas or skills in which Hank is superior to himself.

  • I vote that you make a video about the results of this whole escapade (sorry if I mispelled that) has died down. I read his book for english class and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was inspiring, amazing, and showed a great example of what i want to do with my life. I don't know if he's a fake or not, but I really hope that he isn't. I liked him and his book way too much.

  • this embarrassing moment could only be better if it was presented to us in sock puppet form

  • i looked at that parrot so many times..

  • I had to read Three Cups of Tea for my AP Human Geography class. It was a dreadfully painful experience. 

  • swap YOU with MYPRIZE then click the return key

  • just throwing this out there, i happen to have a friend, Nick, who is one of few not lady young adult librarians...which you make sound even more awesome!

  • I can't download Will Grayson, it just say's: Under contruction. And yes, I am Dutch.

  • "Thank you but I'm not Greg Mortenson."

    I laughed so hard at that. Oh, that's gotta beat most "Embarrassing moments."

    No more drinks for you.

  • Why do I feel compelled to download the dutch version of Will Grayson, Will Grayson? The lure of free stuff.

  • This feels like a BEST WISHES kinda moment John...

  • The parrot head is putting me off....

    

  • Do you think you could break a world record?

  • @JoshSundquist Hi! I just wanted to say i saw your comment and I had to reply lol ya........ I'm not a stalker I promise! Anyways I wanted to say your awesome and you inspire me alot please reply because you mean alot to me and if you replied I would die!!(not really) love you your awesome,

    ashton

  • Have you seen Insidious yet?

  • Could you explain the origins of common phrases? Some of them simply make no sense.

  • I once did that with someone who wasn't my dad..

  • who is the yeti!

  • @tubeyou3317 John's wife.

  • yeah ok but like why is she called that

  • @tubeyou3317 Because no one ever sees her... like the yeti :D

  • @tubeyou3317 No idea. Research it.

  • 2:07 ... he is SO red because of the humiliation xD

  • @ExtractOfInsanity oops crap

  • question: what is the beautification of the pope? I don't understand what it is

  • @Cheeselena I don't know, but it's definitely the beatification, not the beautification. The beautification of the pope would suggest to me that he was gonna get some kind of makeover, which would be hilarious.

  • Blink @ 3:14

    Was it on purpose?

    Are you trying to teach us something?

    You mysterious man, you.

  • hahahaha 

  • Our library was asking for requests for new book to add to it, and Paper Towns was the 3rd most wanted!!!! GO JOHN!!

    Thank you. :3

  • can you guys just both be hank? because i keep calling john hank for some reason and ive been watching for a very long time (i dont really know how long but im at like 2009ish of the old videos and i started watching the newer ones at least 6 months ago and i still cant call john john... i dont know)

  • My birthday is May 5 too :D

  • Yes, I was not Greg Mortenson. But your conversation was funny to listen to, no matter how awkward.

  • FOR THE RECORD about my question to John concerning the math equation, I believe the answer is 9. Just to put that out there.

  • I may not be Dutch, but I downloaded the e-book anyway. Directly after downloading, I ran to the bookshelf, took down my copy of Will Grayson, Will Grayson (the English version) and started teaching myself Dutch through corresponding inter-language versions of the same book.

    Yes, I'm sure knowing how to recite "Summer of Gay" in Dutch will help me so much in life. = ]

  • He's still embarrassed about that story :)

    Quite the red face there at 2:12

  • Oh no! The poor decapitated African Grey Parrot!... I have an African Grey Parrot...

  • i would SO marry you :D:D:D

    EXPLANATION:

    I just got my report card (I'm in high school) and I got A's in all my academics and a pathetic 78% in PE. I'm very annoyed. It's not like I don't try. I try harder in PE than any of my other classes.

  • my question: Why does YourPants not allow mw to do anything!? I've signed up correctly and everything, yet anytime I try and interact with the commmunity. it suggests that I am trying to edit someone else's post or access unauthorized information and refuses me. Help? Dis I just screw something up, or am I really unauthorized to public info?

  • My birthday is on May 5th too!!! But its ok, we can share Hank.

    1. I have been watcing a ton of old videos and how did Hank get the camera on the ceiling in the numa numa hank dance video?

    2 what is the best way to tell a friend that you dont like them back when they tell you they kinda have a crush on you?

  • Question:

    What should a nerdfighter do who is in love with two nerd fighters at the same time?

    Is it possible to like two people at once?

    I've been losing feelings towards my boyfriend of over a year (following a linear model) while I have exponentially been gaining feelings for one of my closest friends - who i recently found out likes me back.

    Really not sure what to do and would appreciate your guidance and insight - i always do!!!
