How to be a Nerdfighter: The Basics

[MsILovePi]

Cool Video :)

[pigscanfly522]

complretely optional, but should be completed?

[42hermy]

SUBSCRIBED! :)

[YeahLikeWatever]

This is kinda posreish..In my opinion :/

[passthebutterbeer]

@YeahLikeWatever How?  I made this video 3 years ago in attempt to consolidate information about being a Nerdfighter. There was pretty much nothing at the time. I most certainly am a Nerdfighter, but in ways that are not attributed to this video. This video was for entertainment purposes and an attempt to help new nerdfighters understand some of the jokes that occurred in 2007 Vlogbrother videos.

[YeahLikeWatever]

@passthebutterbeer I dunno, i just think that anything that is 'how to be nerdfighter, scene, dorky ect (something on those lines) is like trying to sculpt yourself into something. Im not caling you personaly a poser btw :)

[tonnieannelewis]

nerdfighters thank you

[HomeWindGenerator]

Great video, No wonder so many Liked it. Subscribe to my channel if you like SOLAR ENERGY. On Earthday 2010 my RoofMill invention won a green design award. :)

[SSdetectiveagency]

is that Dobby's christmas wish I hear playing in the BG?

[sgorto]

OI! YOU FORGOT DOCTOR WHO!!!! >:O

[passthebutterbeer]

@sgorto Sorry! At the time this video was made I was unaware of the greatness of Doctor Who.

[weirdpanda3]

you are made of awesome

[passthebutterbeer]

@weirdpanda3 Thank you!

[HonkyTonkBuffalo]

Awesome video! I think Hank and John would be proud.

Cheers, and DFTBA.

[grnlfe01]

I am a member of the Guide to Nerdfighting and I have to say that is exactly the sort of thing we're looking for.

[SoDashing1990]

This is an adorable video, very well made, and full of warm fuzzies! :^)

[bexxieflower]

Awesome videoooo

[Kwinh]

I remember when nerd meant the guy in school that always knew the answers to math questions, studied all the time, and smelled bad. But now I see it's used by trendy kids and wannabe artists to set themselves apart from everyone else. "omg I play guitar hero that's a video game I'm so nerdy!" "I watched the star trek remake the other day Im so nerdy!" kill yourselves

[hannaaarrh]

harry potter nerdfighters for the win (:

best wishes!

[morroida9966]

awesome actriss, not

[monkeygaze]

Ur right

[Mariswimmer7]

Try learning how to spell "actress" first

[morroida9966]

okay.

actriss atirss acriss acteress actress actress actress actress actresss actress.

hey i think i got it!

[chokingonice]

Well according to Hank & John you don't need half of this shit.

[passthebutterbeer]

Well, obviously, you don't have to do any of this stuff. All you have to do is sit at your computer and say "I'm a nerdfighter". I just made this video for fun, and for people, like me, who first stumbled upon vlogbrothers, and wanted to know more about nerdfighting.

However, I took everything from the original Brotherhood 2.0 videos, the omnictionary, ning and even some from the original BH2.0 website when I first tried finding NF "requirements."

So please, there is no need for profanities.

[JoyfulKittie]

guess what. If you're obsessing about this, you ARE a nerd. Congratulations. It's cool now.

[furiousfuryan]

So you think you´re part of the ¨strong?¨ STFU.

[lunarmoontemple]

Well sonyslave, not everyone can socialize well with the world. And being a nerd doesn't mean being unsocial or shy. I know lots of nerds that are social. Heh, I love it when society links "nerd" with "shy".  If you want me to stop being a shy nerd, maybe you could teach me how to socialize? Ever thought about that? Actually doing something? Hmmm?

[ThatJewFro]

I just lost the game

[dinaklarisse]

Me too.

[savagenoble7]

I don't want to be a nerdfighter-- I like being myself

[herobattlecat]

Reading Gray's Anatomy for the win!

[closedcoil]

lol this is so weird

[speede179]

Aha. I like it.

[ivaanaleeallan]

Please reply -

Can I be a nerfighter if I am -

1. Not actually a nerd. I looked up the definition, and it involves apreciating ones intelegences in the areas where I have none.

2. Am dyslexic, therefore not enjoying books other than the onese recomended for 8 - 12 year olds (which all of John Greens books are not).

3. Don't actually like english, maths, science or pretty much any of those subjects.

4. Don't like video games.

BUT want to reduce world suck and happy up the world?

[passthebutterbeer]

Yes you can! Nerdfighters strongly support decreasing world suck. :)

[HaShomeret]

I'm dyslexic and i am %100 nerd!

just out of curiosity, do you like books-on-tape? if so, have you ever used learning for the blind and dyslexic? they really helped me get through highschool. its company that records text book onto CD and lends them to dyslexic and blind people.

[seba20sa]

you are super awesome, cute and awesome, and cute XD

[frankonabun]

ahhh this helped a ton

but what happens if you can't do the hand signal?

[ivaanaleeallan]

scotch tape and string :D :D

[auroraborialis2]

[cancerl233]

it would have been even better if you managed to stick to the four minute time limit

[passthebutterbeer]

Haha, that is very true!

[ArgueEverything]

[Onthebrokenroad]

[JayTigris]

THANK YOU!

Thx to this video I finally mastered the finger thing I could never do before! YOU are truly AWESOME!

[Nikeink]

How awesome would it be if the NErdfighters commented this to the most discussed page, and then it got featured?

We'd get an awful lot of NITs, which could lead to the pwning of Oprah.

[passthebutterbeer]

I would freak out so much. And feel honored to help vlogbrothers pwn Oprah, lol.

[kiyoshi85]

i dunno if i have high pufflevels. T__T;; my hair is frizzy. Once you watch one then you'll WANT to watch all of them.

I'm lonely and stupid. so where does this leave me?

[passthebutterbeer]

Not sure really.

[NameThatSport]

Ok.. that might have been overreacting a little, but whatever. Awesome Video!!! You've got a new subscriber.

[passthebutterbeer]

I love My Pants! I just figured that a new nerdfighter might get discouraged with the lesser activity of My Pants and should just use the Ning first. :-)
