Brotherhood 2.0: March 15: Decreasing Suck

[SluggerTeethForever]

Everything strips purple nerds of their color, not just strawberry hill. If you eat nerds, but don't chew them (because that is disgusting) they will lose their color and eventually become this crystal that tastes amazing. Their coating is disgusting. That's how I eat nerds. I suck the disgusting cover off, then eat the crystal goodness.

Whoa that's an awesome metaphor about nerds. They may look nerdy on the outside, but on the inside, they are still nerds but they are crystal goodness.

[WTBman2011]

Little did they know how much they would change the world later on.

[mrshairspray321]

I want some peeps.

I don't even like peeps.

[vidkid42]

Haha my whole family lives in Kalamazoo, they sent me a bunch of tee shirts that say "Yes, there really is a Kalamazoo."

[shoelace07]

I love going back and watching Nerdfighteria start all over again :D

[TubbsAdventures]

Lets make that the official nerdfighter alcoholic drink.

[Pinee4]

smart nerd lmao i died

[SomeoneBeginingWithI]

lett's blenderise peeps, nerds, and strawberry hill

[goodideaatthreeam]

sooo. is that like the offical drink of Nerdfighteria?

[beckyjade15]

this was my 13th birthday D:D

[masonman1222]

watching them all!

[JacquilineMist]

he sounded very much like steve from blue clues when asking what america wants to see him do with his three food products.

[MoonintheClouds]

Heck yes Kalamazoo!

[epicbladers1]

YOU WERE HERE AND I MISSED IT?! GAHHHH

[zoemew]

Am I the only one who thought about charlieissocoollike painted purple when he said that Strawberry Hill makes purple nerds white?

[skigirl108]

Believe me, you have NOT increased World Suck

[banz224]

You could never increase Suck Levels!!! u always make my weeks suck less and be more awesome!!! :D

[TheGirlKiba]

the stuff i have learned from you helped me in school

[bbmonkey14]

These people are teaching me life lessons.

[TheMinuteVlog]

Dangit, I'm like four years late to the local Nerdfighter gathering!

[skigirl108]

@TheMinuteVlog haha im even later!

[jaredloveless]

This video was censored by the IT department at my school. It had to do with one of the words in the title. I think you can all guess which one. ;)

[AlyssaMarie508]

I just realized that I hate grape flavoured anything, because it tastes like medicine, but I like the taste of grape nerds... weird. Grape nerds aren't my favourite though, the blue ones are. Now I want nerds.

[Dolphinbebe3632]

Actually, any form of liquid (coke, sweet tea, etc.) removes the color from nerds. Don't ask me how I now that...

[EightPercentChance]

The film nerd in me is loving the lighting in this video.

[friendofidiocy]

You can't get Nerds in the UK any more :( well, not as far as I know

[shsbecky]

2:28 Is that a peep stuck into the bottle of the Strawberry Hill?

[dreamr3j]

smart nerd lol!! =DD

[singlexfilexisxlove]

look it's a little duckie on a pink pond!

...Just think what it can do to your gastrointestinal system

[gableto]

oh my god in sweet heaven, you came to KALAMAZOO!!! even though i'm four years late, i'm still gonna do my happy dance...doing my happy dance...still doing the dance...out breath...double fist pump

[happyx55555]

"smart nerd" is a non-oxymoron .... it's a noxymoron!

[thefabuloustonk]

WHY MUST I LEARN OF YOUR TRIPS INTO MICHIGAN FOUR YEARS AFTER??

sad day. :(

[SamCoxTV1]

Smart Nerd!

[MolinMUSE]

John is ridiculously adorable in this video.

[KidCoda]

So this is exactly 4 years ago to the day... sigh... four more years left! :D

[katnisspeeta12]

Is eating Nerds cannibalism?

[781228XX]

There should be a word for when something sounds like tautology but isn't, like how oxymorons aren't contradictions. Example: Smart nerd.

[TheWarnerSister]

@781228XX Redundancy?

[781228XX]

@TheWarnerSister It's not redundant. In this case the Nerd is smart, but the rest aren't, therefor it isn't redundant to point it out. There should be a word to explain that (only not because it would never be used)

[randomeese]

can someone please link me to zefrank or at least tell me why i can't find his channel anywhere??

[ClocksInMyPlace]

Wow, it's as if the hotel have watched your videos, hence they gave Strawberry Hill, Peeps and Nerds! Otherwise, it's some coincidence, don't you think?!

[Messengerdeity1]

I was just finishing a pack of grape nerds when I clicked on this video.

It made my day.

[Messengerdeity1]

I was just finishing a pack of grape nerds when I clicked on this video.

It made my day.

[Chloeisanerdlike]

"Smart nerd" is redundant.

[Mangaxaddict]

@Chloeisanerdlike redundant adjective is redundant

[greengirllover]

what kind of terrible thing could one normal nerdfighter do to increase suck levels world wide!

[lanaevictoria99]

He was in Kalamazoo?! I live there... I want to know what school that was.

[isntitlovely]

All nerds are stripped of their color by liquid.  Trust me - I'm a nerd expert.

[Saralina418]

It's alawys hot here in Colorado in March... either that, or it's snowing..

[kingsbury96]

MARCH 15TH IS MY BIRTHDAY. YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HOW EXCITED IT MAKES ME THAT YOU SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON THE 15TH. ANNNNNND YOU WERE IN MICHIGAN! I LIVE IN MICHIGAN!

[mckennahwiggins]

" SMART NERD!!!!!" haha, made my night =)

[TheSunshineNetwork]

question: i draw furries cause i cant draw people. i want to draw a furry version of john holding a glass of wine with a floating peep. what kind of animal, john, do you think youd be? if youre like the last moron i asked that to and say "liger," my head will splode like SPLOOSH.

[13monmon13]

"Smart nerds."

[MarioCort]

54 vid cmnt

[cloudkicker6000]

What the heck, John was in Kalamazoo at one point?! How did I miss this. I would have loved to have seen him.

[cheshirexpirate]

The Nerds in Strawberry Hill reminded me of this time that my friends and I were at Hometown Buffet and someone poured sprinkles in Sprite. Their colours sort of swirled up together and then all of the liquid in the glass turned black. It was fantastic!

[atherrien95]

KALAMAZOO! W00T!...well, I live in Lansing, but...

[samerijr55]

Kalamazoo!!! The Best City ever! you need to come back sometime

[atherrien95]

I live in lansing, so i could have seen him.

[slinkiesandpie22]

"A smart nerd"

:)

[MrsJasperHale08]

okay you need to come back to Kalamazoo....this is officially the BIGGEST FML OF MY LIFE......UGH

[otterlover32197]

"It's a little ducky on a pink pond." Like A Sugary Culvert Creek swan atop Alaska's Stash.

[rasselas16]

I think I'm in love with John Green.

[whatawittyusername]

it's like how in paper towns you said sure nothing ever happens the way you imagined, but if you don't imagine it nothing will ever happen :)

[Jelleybeans7]

I'll finish that!! March 15 is my Birthday!! seriously! Holy macrol!

[senorsqueakydesk]

I used to live just an hour from Kalamazoo, MI. I can't say I like it much, but they did hook you up with some great gifts, so maybe I've been wrong about the whole city.

[PEYTOONIE]

The screen shot for this video is win.

[valerie2776]

Who likes the little peep duckies in the pond? I do, I do, I do, a-chicka quack quack!

[youngwithoutyouth]

"The nerd has attached itself to the peep...

Smart nerd."

So f-ing funny xD

[RainaaKairi]

Well Hitler thought he was decreasing suck levels too.

[echoofadistant]

john don't worry bout the weather in colo. it snows in june and is eighty in january.we are screwed up

[Pumpkie234]

John, your own saliva can strip nerds of their colour. And I believe that THIS is where we first found that Hank and John DO NOT favour Republicans.

[maggtastic143]

The lone nerd x)

Yehahh...that's the only smiley I can use to describe my joy when watching your videos.

[imperfecttt]

51. very Smart nerd, Must have learned that From this video. he Went in the future with a TARDIS.

[bassownz]

strawberry hill looks tasty to me. i would love to find out if that's actually true (which I assume is not)

[HekoChill]

Like the Nazis probably actually believed that the world would be better with them in charge. From what I have found in my deep research is that Hitler had his soldiers drink heavily. In order to confuse their suck level senses.

I think it's a distinct possibility that the alcohol Hitler gave to his soldiers was in fact Strawberry Hill, and it not only corroded their gastral intestinal system, it also corroded their brains!!!

[jamba66]

"Look it's a little ducky on a pink pond!" I love John's excited voice, it's adorable. XD

[Amiryfey]

Did you actually drink the Strawberryhill afterwards?

[Clumsythumbs]

A Strawberry Hill Cocktail? It needs a name. That Nerd was trying to prove Darwin's theory. I hope you saved the specimen and mated it with other worthy Nerds. In order to better evolve Nerd-kind. That would definately decrease suck levels.

[DittoFreak]

Comment 51:

Whose birthday is it?

[kira902k]

i want you to come to MY school..

[DarkPizza]

...peeps aren't ducks. They're baby chickens. ;_;

[BarryAldridge]

Duck on a pink pond hooray it floated. Nerds oh no unless it is attached to a peep yeah. Strawberry Hill looks kinda sweet.

[twihardfans]

That was...pretty inspirational, that speech right there. John for President...

[Jessica47503271]

SMART NERD LMAO OMG

[ribbonsandsoldiers]

who likes the little little duckies on the [pink] pond?

i do, i do, i do.

a chicka quack quack.

[bglove18]

AHHH! I live in Kalamazoo Michigan!! :)

[ihateyou5137]

a little ducky on a pink pond!! i love how you said that. haha

[stjohnyouth]

My friend threw a peep in a toilette...and it floated.

[wazootyman1]

does john have a class that he teaches because his videos always start out as if hes in a classroom or seminar.

[wallflowerinabox]

Cling to the peeps!

[DLCBJE]

Strawberry Hill looks incredibly tasty....

Like some sort of watermelon flavored Sprite...

I want some now...

[chrissyjeano]

Strawberry Hill is the juice of the devil.

[culbrethcow]

I wonder... I'm underage so I've never tried it, so I am amazingly intrigued.

[meeposquee]

lol those experiments were so funny...

[mcflyloveme]

yay for the smart nerd

[abraxaswizard]

pleonasm

[deaddiscoxo]

sure is.

[Kylie1403]

is a peep like a marshmallow thing? we dont have them here

[bdmjintx]

Yes, they are very disgusting marshmallows.

[allieistreble]

Not only are they disgusting marshmallows, they are covered in pastel-tinted sugar.

[HolyTacoMaidens]

And the dye on the pastel-tinted sugary coating makes the peeps taste like dye.

and pure sugar.

[DLCBJE]

And awesome.

[mysterialite]

Dear John;

KALAMAZOO FTW!!!!

I went to college in Kalamazoo. (And I'm currently programming lights for a show in Kalamazoo...)

And yes, I am going through and watching all 299 of the vlogbrothers videos in order -- my sister and I are starting a similar(ish) project in the fall when I move out of state.

And yes, I plan to comment on every single one I want to, despite my comments being 100% irrelevant to your life.

Love,

mysterialite

[SimplyKell]

"smart NERD"

[duckling97]

[Susami91]

[Selene147]

You're in Kalamazoo! YAY! Go Michgander nerd fighters! *does happy dance* Even though you're not actually a Michigander... but you were in KALAMAZOO, so... YAY!

[auburntigers10]

there is a strawberry hill restaurant.

that scares me.

a lot.

[BlacksGodDaughter]

Lol, smart nerd. :D That was great. One of my faves.

[regularguy5mb]

That could totally be a mixed drink at a bar. But what to call it?

Ah, of course...the Nerdfighter!

[forgetregret12]

D=M/V

John, why won't you just use the formula for density, instead of torturing those poor peeps and Nerds?

Tsk,tsk.

[ThirdTimesCharm]

ha ha thats exactly what I was thinking :D

[Nanosauromo]

Why didn't you drink the strawberry hill - peep - nerds cocktail?

Also... Wikipedia has no article for Strawberry Hill. We must remedy this situation!

[horsewhisperer990]

"Oh. Wait. Crap."

[kiyoshi85]

strawberry hill ?! WHAT 's THAT!!?

[imlyka]

hahaha, i loved it when he said "smart nerd". lol

[malcolm711]

o totally tht was hilarious

[JillixxAnn]

He sould have drank the strawberry hill, nerds, and peep in the cup!

[FutureBondChick]

It's the official Nerd Cocktail!!

[kiyotakamine]

Peeps float in Strawberry hill!!

[Summyr]

I've always wondered what would happen to a Peep in Strawberry Hill!! NOW MY DREAMS HATH BEEN FULFILLED!!!

[FutureBondChick]

Hah! Sweet.

[irishpervert]

[kushya]

[lili4trees]

haha :)

[SaramisKismet]

Oh god.... the image of that glass... I could smell the sugary acidic marshmallowy sweet decay utpoia it must be to drink.

Mmm....

[DragonXSin]

You know what's even more disguisting? Putting a McDonald's meal into a blender (with the drink) and blending it. D:

[damooseamigo3]

i think you guys are freakin GENIOUSES and i really want to get a brotherhood 2.0 shirt, do you have them on your site?

I AM DEFINETLY BECOMING A NERDFIGHTER! im not sure what kind of nerd i am though...how would i determine that? hmm.... well peace out!  -heather lynn

[UsagiOhkami]

should be Happy Deathday considering this was posted at least on the Ides of March and everyone knows what happened on the Ides of March.

There was something else I wanted to say but....I don't remember...

[Aliceinwonderland94]

-doesn't know what happened on the Ides of March-

[UsagiOhkami]

Julius Ceasar was murdered on the Ides of March by his friends and counselors.

"Beware the Ides of March"

"Et tu, Brute!"

[Aliceinwonderland94]

OH.

[UsagiOhkami]

lol

[Aliceinwonderland94]

its just that i feel stupid i knew about that but i didn't know it was called the Ides Of March

0__*

[UsagiOhkami]

no worries, it happens to the best of us. I added you as a friend by the way since we've struck up convo's on many of the Brotherhood 2.0 comments

[Aliceinwonderland94]

fine with me =)

[scruffymonkey125]

Brutus* >.>

[UsagiOhkami]

the quote actually says Brute, which is the same as Brutus, but for some reason Shakespeare wanted it to say Brute...all poetic and stuff, you know?

[AngelxSwift]

The reason is because in Latin, when you address a man, the -us on the end of the name is changed to -e (unless the name ends in -ius, in which case the ending is -i.) So, Brutus becomes Brute. In grammar it's called the vocative case, which we don't have in English.

[SoILoveCheese2011]

A little ducky on a pink pond! Yay!

[charlynnrichter]

you are so funny. lone nerd. ha.

[yoDADthinksihot]

STRAWBERRY HILL- the official drink of brotherhood 2.0 :D

[OnEye]

i think its time that we had a Q&A session with the brothers .. for instance .. how old are you both.. do either of you have any tattoos .. how old were you when lost your viginity ... inquiring minds would like to know!
