rubber berna



[ChaosDragonYV]

um john thats at wembley

[suicdekng]

I know it's too late... but Aft-R Berna

[TPRJones]

So you start the video by pretending that you would be keeping the team together, but then you're all "just kidding, get the hell out Fat Lucas you've been replaced!" Man, that was not awesome of you at all. Better to have started the video out with the truth instead of getting our hopes up before dashing them.

As to what to talk about, if you're going to throw away our friends like that then I'd say don't talk about the team and make us love them. It's just mean.

[naturada137]

@TPRJones

Well he kind of sucks. And they're little pixels. But also it's for teh lolz.

[jaymeeboh]

Let's name R. Berna "Red Green Berna".

[LKBM]

Since I mostly just listen as I do homework, I tried lowering to 240p.

Holy moly, it's crappy.

[KillAllHumans52]

Bunsen Berna

[AlCat42]

I like the stories about the fictional players, because that's what really got me watching the swoodilypoopers.

[enigmaticbleu]

Regulus Berna

[angelfire162058]

swoodilypooper life is real life John.

[CRAZEE0987]

Red-hot Berna

[AmethystEyes]

RUG BURNA!

[ghjkilm]

HE OUT LUCASED LUCAS!!!!!

[caesar10022]

Parry Parry with an A... for America

[carlopolous]

own life

[AntiCliche]

ROMANTIC Berna.

[AntiCliche]

I want to know what you most fear, and your various triumphs over fear in it's myriad of limping forms.

[lollipop123456781000]

keep updating us on the real swindon

[jennieeckilson]

Will you talk about your wedding and/or Hank's wedding???

[CRRash90]

Talk about ideas for future novels: Desert island novel, The Sequel, etc.

[commentingmythoughts]

at first, when i would watch john play fifa, i would think "geez...how's he so good at making up these soccer players' backstories?" and then i was like "oh wait...he's an author. that's what he does for a living."

[nellycecilialee]

Either Bunsen Berna or Rug Berna!

[Luinathiel]

"I'm not a particularly commited FIFA player" says the man who's taking lesson in the game and for a while couldn't care about his upcoming book release but only dreamt about the cup final =P

[innocuousname]

If anyone else has similar subscriptions to me, French the Llama we got a lot of videos in the last 2 hours!

/revels

[jrbship]

Definitely a nice mix of both

[hejsanhoppsan0]

Both!

[fullmetalshinigami]

the stories about your own life are the best. the stories about the players are nice too, but it's the John Green stories that keeps people coming.

[randalthor12345]

John, I don't care what you talk about, just keep talking. It's ALWAYS entertaining.

[ArgyllSnuzzle]

"Hello" Classic Stan!

[TheNicoleMarion]

I like when you talk about your own life.

[MadeOfAwesomenessGuy]

BOTH



[MadeOfAwesomenessGuy]

RBUNSEN BURNA (SILENT R) SORRY MY CAPSLOCK IS BROKEN......)

[innocuousname]

@MadeOfAwesomenessGuy THAT'S OK IT'S JUST CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

[birthdaygirl1126]

i want to hear about Henry!!

[xleezybee]

BJG IS BACK!

[chocolaterockz]

Can you talk about Books? Like your favourites now, what you are reading at the moment and what you used to love.

[BrockyD]

Mix of both!

[Shadowmask8]

I like listening to stories about the team.

[NF321]

I like listening to stories about your life.

[superfrontman]

Every time I see a game with a goalie, regardless of the game, I call the goalie of the side I'm rooting for Fat Lucas. Maybe calling them that will cause some of the girth-based-skill to rub of on them and guarantee victory.

[CornwalltheOmni]

both!

[TheseApples]

I would love to watch a game with John sometime. It's so hard to find folks who share my enthusiasm for the game in my town!

[divicool72]

I like a kind of, 3:1 split, so 3/4 the stories are about your life, 1/4 are about the team :)

[Manzanita917]

"That was just Bald John Green getting down on the ground and touching someone" o_O

[GeneralFett29]

My brother would like to see the very beginning of the mode where it shows all the financial aspects of the mode/team and the manager rep. Thank you! Best wishes!!!

[JL4Pope]

GUHH! And his husband finishes it off!!!

*giggle*

[justalittledangerous]

HE'S A PLATYPUS!!!

[SometimesIDoStuff]

So...Is Stan to John like Steven is to Toby?

[stinkypileofpoo]

I like a mix of fictonal swoodlypoopers and your life but feel free to throw in actual swindon stuff, its fun.

[JameJame661]

I think you should sing more

[amazingfertilla123]

i think back burna would be better, because he WAS the backup

[ClocksInMyPlace]

Gah, I'm trying to find that newspaper cover, but I can't! Please, has someone found it?

[JustChrisMusic]

Just a note to everyone, Swindon Town (the actual team) won today 2-1 in the F.A. Cup. Could John be predicting the future with this series? :D

[wolfmoonharvest]

Bunsen Berna FTW.

[ssbfan2]

maureen is probably became proud of you at 8:47

[tuxxedomask]

I'm really not interested in the swoodly poopers too much, I would just like to hear about your life, your work, your friends, your awesomeness. Of course, I will live with swoodly poopers videos occasionally, but I prefer other types.

[motioncabowlweekend]

I like hearing about your life. Anything really, maybe more about after college?

[AJ6040]

I am wondering about your writing process. I mean do you start with themes or characters? Do you start writing at the beginning of the book and write through to the end or write in pieces?

[PollyBreedDumb]

Stan sounds a lot like Steven... right down to his job.

[mewatchingvideos1]

THEY JUST BEAT WIGAN IN REAL LIFE TOOOOOOOO!

[Zolkabro]

Bunsen Berna! Please!

[StarryRamp]

I like the stories about your life, or real life opinions, personally.

[Tom32ka]

Can his nickname be 'Really shouldn't' You shouldn't burn anyone.

[hazworther]

JOHN COME TO SWINDON PLZ! YOU CAN STAY WITH US AND WATCH THEM PLAY!!!!

Seriously

[xtxond]

i'd like to hear some ot your college exeperience

[XxiloveGWxX]

Ricardo "Bunsen" Berna.

OMG I am crying hahahahahha

[trinibabeegurl]

It's such a tragedy that I had to watch this on my iPhone and could not see Bald John Green's beautiful mustache.

[chelseavictoriawest]

As a Chelsea myself, I can say that the Swindon Town Swoodilypoopers are NOT the bane of my existence! In fact, it's quite nice!

[Linaxtic]

why is the thumbnail all I can see? I wanna see the playing.

[510amy5]

your life all the way!

[jessadollvlog]

@captainmahoney127 YES. Agreed! RAGING BERNA is perfect!

[jessadollvlog]

Wait, how could it be Bunsen Berna? Isn't it R. Berna? I'm so confused..

[captainmahoney127]

raging berna



[StainlessSteelPolish]

Ricardo Berna's nickname should be Grizzly. Ricardo "Grizzly" Berna.

[awkwardfour]

My mom called to me from the other room and said "Are you watching the Swoodilypoopers? I hear John's voice!"

She makes me so proud :*)

[n4m4w45]

I love hearin' about the fictional swoodilypoopers, but you talkin' about your life feels like some sort of extended vlogbro video. So I'm good with a mix.

I would love to hear how the two John Greens met, if you haven't already told us.

[dipsaucerose]

i like when you talk about your life :D but a sprinkling of the player's lives i like too :P

[ollipoppolli]

102% pro fictional Swoodilypoopers! :-)

I love the way you imagine things about those guys, John!

[FrostingChocolate]

talk more about henry and willy!

[MrPopularSentiment]

Personal stories are the best. Hands down!

[Batmanlikespi]

Stan? So close to Steven....

[Thoroughbred17]

@Batmanlikespi Tobuscus!

[dinoboykyle]

RICKY BEAR!

[CharKorbit]

'That's not a FAWL.'

[cking636]

I just love this series. No way around it. I love John talking, and I love watching soccer, and I love the fictional world of the Swoodilipoopers.

[robodude43]

I usually skip the videos where you talk about the fictional characters. Also somethings beeped out for the sake of John remaining as illusive as batman?

[lillyofthefield101]

I'd rather hear about your life, but I like both.

[ThirteenPeeps]

If I had to choose I would rather hear about you, John, but mostly I just like the sound of your voice.

[Mrmurderificationify]

have henry narrate with you, it'd be a thousand times better

[CountessEntwistle]

Bunsen Berna!

[Lizologie]

I want to hear about writing, plotting novels and publishing. Also about your life. And "Blaise Burna" all the way. DFTBA ;)

[AsparagusAsh]

Ricardo Berna - disowns his heritage and renames himself Ricky Fire to appear more English.

[Chisagi]

I got FIFA 12 on PS3 for Christmas and am now playing Swindon Town myself. All because of you, John! I also pre-ordered the t-shirt.

[TheRowaboat]

I think pretty much everyone has agreed that Bunsen Berna is the one to go for...

NERDS FTW :D

[TheJoshua0706]

"Ricochet Rambo" Berna

[Thoroughbred17]

For the past few weeks, I've been monitoring Twitter and Tumblr carefully, waiting for an update on the Swoodilypoopers, then I log into Youtube and THERE THEY ARE. John, you cannot even fathom how much I've been thinking about their new season.

BUNSEN BERNA!

[OUdarling]

A healthy mix of things from your life and things from the Swoodilypoopers' lives. Maybe pick a player to profile (One Size Fitz Hall) and talk about his life story (grew up in Manchester, supported City when all his friends were Reds, enjoyed rugby but was "discovered" by Swindon, etc.)

[Adams1104]

'Bunsen' screams obviousness. Ricardo "The Face" Berna, is your man.

[notasfunnyaswethink]

Ricardo Berna? More like Rock Hard-o! He's such a playa. Look at his lustrous hair.

[nanotheweirdo]

John his name is One Size Fitz Hall

[alexlik3]

I want to know the story of Ricardo Berna. Where has he come from? What are his dreams? His fears? How is he feeling stepping into such huge shoes? These are important things.  Then again, perhaps the Berna narrative will develop naturally on its own. Only time will tell.

[gleekyleek]

I'll be watching this until you stop playing, even if it's season 23 and they lose every game. I will still watch and support the Swoodilypoopers! Also, as a person familiar with depression, I'd be interested to hear you talk about it, if you'd like. Thank you and best wishes!

[afropack]

mix but mostly your life. like 60%

[stclax11]

senior pranks

[lula839]

You should tell us everything you know about conjoined twins.

[PossumCuber]

You wouldn't have had to go to penalties if you had Fat Lucas in goal.

[PossumCuber]

Talk about Chuck Norris

[NerdBomb6]

You need to practice the lob-cross. It's useful when you've got a defender between you and the goal on those fast breaks.

[emmatheadventurous]

@Madeofawesome4ever Haha I watch the vlogbrothers videos all the time! I did not know that's why it started though ;) Thanks.

[NotStuckJustResting]

Bunsen Berna FTW!

[mindlessdoodles]

HE'S A PLATYPUS!!

[NeilSonOfNorbert]

I like a mix. :)

[beengoneback]

i think this season, with expectations as low as they are, our excitement over each score will be roof raising.

[mohuju]

hows about Ricardo "care" Berna?

[dariablue232]

I enjoy both real-life and fictional stories, they are all entertaining :-) Oh and how about "Ricky Ricardo Berna" as a nickname for the new handsome keeper?

[Quijiboh]

Much prefer the real life stories myself.

How about keeping it in the gluttony family - Ricardo Heart Berna

[aqwertyz]

lol, the beeps made me think there was something wrong with my computer at first

[ReAwaken1011]

I love the real life stories. but a fictional story is great here and there as well. I will never get tired of watching you play FIFA :)

[ProjectFutureSelf]

Fictional?! FICTIONAL?! How long have the Swoodily Poopers been fictional?

In that case I'd like a mix of both, please. I think I slightly prefer your alarmingly helpful real-life anecdotes, but I'd hate to fall behind on the news regarding our beloved team.

P.S. Glad to have ya back.

[Frenchthellama12345]

redux!



[AliJDB]

I prefer the real life stories, but I don't mind the fictional stories! Henry stories are always win :D Also, our new keeper is very handsome.

[dancerbethany1]

Dude, I have a crush on our new keeper..

[dancerbethany1]

YOU ARE SO FUN TO WATCH. 

[dancerbethany1]

Stories about Hank! and John! SO EXCITING.

[montiByowd]

I really loved the stories about Henry. I want to hear more of them!

[PerpetualDuckling]

As much as I love hearing about your life, I'd really like more about the lives of the Swoodilypoopers.

[redheadog]

the community shield is where the winners of the FA cup and the winners of the premier league have a game. if a team is both the winners of the prem. league amd the cup then they face off against an all star team (i think)

[glassisland]

Glad to have you back John! I think whatever stories you feel like telling should be entertainment enough. SO helpful, I know...

[libbyhull]

I like hearing both.

I deff love how I find myself routing like it's a real game!!

[KungfuCow5]

*remembers lives on ground floor*

[KungfuCow5]

A mix of both. And what do you mean... fictional? O_O *wails and jumps out window*

[KungfuCow5]

Rita "So manly they had to give a girls name" Berna

[Wazzat7]

Advice on the transfer budget. Get someone who is a lower Current ability but is young. this means that in a few years he will be awesome. FIFA is quite unrealistic in terms of player growth from my personal experience so young players are a great option.

[OlleLindestad]

So wait, what possible reason would they have not to want to publically reveal the name or business of the company? Because they don't want rabid nerdfighters flooding their offices?

[TheFuzzedOUT]

@OlleLindestad advertising contracts

[kokytos]

This may sound weird, but I'd really love to hear your thoughts on depression and mental illness. I know you've mentioned going through rough spots in your life before, but as someone who's also suffered, I'd love to hear more of your experience and your general view on depression/MI as a topic. There's so much stigma attached, so I'd love to hear a popular figure discuss this stuff without shame.

(side note: Bunsen Berna all the way.)

[KungfuCow5]

@kokytos YES! Bunsen Berna! DEFINITELY! If it is not that there is something wrong with the world!

[canuslupus2005]

@kokytos I agree. I recently received a diagnosis for schizoaffective disorder, and I have been working on finding out what exactly that means, what to expect (both from myself and from others), and how to deal with it. I would very much like to hear John's thoughts on mental illnesses and the stigma surrounding them.

Also, I vote for Bunsen Burna.

[ysbeoj]

MIX OF BOTH!

[marriyumh]

Both! :D

[TheRowaboat]

i wasn't sure whether or not it was disloyal of me, as a chelsea fan, to be supporting the swoodilypoopers

[RussTheBusker]

Id like to hear about your time in Chigago

[conpanaro]

That's not at Chelseas stadium... It's Wembley :-)

[JBkosh]

someone that can replace fat lucas, clearly must have a story to match.

[horsesrox2]

@Satuneonred Yeah!

[horsesrox2]

Your lifeeeeeeeeeeee

[neon8wolf]

Your life.



[NerdyLiberal]

I like RL stories best. ^_^

[kcooksey11]

Tell Henry stories- he can say "awesome" now, so you know there's gotta be some funny stories about learning more words and trying to use them, probably incorrectly. Kids are good at that.

[iHaveSTDsXD]

Ricardo berymore

[iHaveSTDsXD]

R for Rafael

[BrightBigLight]

BOTH. I would really love to know the story of how Bald John Green and Other John Green meet. :)

[adfdageba]

no need to apologize for singing, you're on hankgames :)

[RewindReplayRepeat]

did anyone else look up that article right after he mentioned it?

[GrantStuff]

I prefer real life stories! Especially the ones where you say your top 5 things!

[TheAlmighyShia]

Yay! So happy to see the boys again! Now i wanna watch all the old games, hmm...

[marshmellowpoof]

I like hearing about your own experiences as well as the lives of Swindontown's finest! I think I want to listen to the story of how John Green and John Green met; it seems like it would be quite interesting.

[liarmom]

This makes me so happy!!!!

[bersabelle]

how do you not know what the community shield is? it's a match against the winners of the premier league and the winners of the fa cup...liverpool won it in 2006...

[moviemoviemadness]

henry stories!! i cant get enough of him!! oh and the story of our new great keeper!!!

[PineappleRiot]

Rug Berna!!!! And since he's attractive that can be taken in MANY WAYS. CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING. :D

[tisbenschannel]

Tell us about your High School Senior Prank.

[OriginalMrBibz]

You said the keeper was handsome, so why not Ravishing?

[helpermonkey226]

Both!

[MadLoveDarling]

I agree with StapleToothTiger's name. Def.
