Voluptuous Pericard: The Miracle of Swindon Town #26

[303archangel]

you know v. pericard is a real person right? his name is Vincent and he played for Swindon in 2010-2011. He was born in Cameroon and played for France. Why can't these players be as interesting in real life as they are in john greens head

[MegaBookWormGirl]

Oh, John. More and more reasons why I find you like, the best author ever

[keepcalmful]

Voluptuous Pericard kind of sounds like that one author, I can't recall his name..

[TheErinMunroe]

Is there a place where all of the chants are written down?

[jaymeeboh]

Voluptuous loves Alice more than John Green loves John Green? Whaaat?

[MsPiplette]

how much time do you spend thinking up back stories for the Swoodilypoopers??

[Ignelux]

...I feel like John and Pericard are the same person XD

[kaleidoscopicepic14]

Can I have Voluptuous Péricard? Just... to keep?

[rethinkOURreality]

You during the free kick was a precious moment.

[sethwerewolf]

i am tryingto watch all the videos, (vlogbrothers, and hankgames) so i watch three vlogbrothers, then a hankgames. I have a long time to go.

[dipsaucerose]

i love how john made a story about a video game character seem all real. i guess thats the talent of a writer

[Nightlark36]

Late as I am to this video, I have to say Voluptuous Pericard sounds a whole lot like my dad. My parents've been married over 30 years and they're still adorably in love, hugging and kissing all the time. Dad'll buy mom flowers spur of the moment, they hold hands in the car, and whenever one of them goes away for a while, they write letters for every night they're separated and slip them into suitcases/dressers. Their marriage definitely spoiled me in my expectations for my future husband. <3

[FlargTheKitty]

@Nightlark36 you have no idea how lucky you are....I'm so happy for you, yet so jealous :D

[Nightlark36]

@FlargTheKitty As I've gotten older, I've definitely realized how lucky I am, and take it less for granted. My parents have gone through difficulties just like other couples, but seeing them work it out as a team and strive to keep their marriage strong is a great example and inspiration. It's taught me to take marriage seriously, to make sure the person I marry is someone I can stand beside for life. :D I wish more people could have examples like them in their lives.

[Lightavion]

Voluptuous Pericard is a family man.

[ChickenVendetta]

The Swindon Town Swoodilypoopers - This club has everything,

[sdux18]

how did you forget one size fitz hall?

[cornishphilosopher]

Bucks... Bucks

Surely he's payed in pounds

I love these but somtimes your american nus driives me mad

[MrLiverpooldude96]

FITZ HALL WITH THE HEADER WHO IS A CENTRE BACK

[MrsLoveChuckle]

I've been on the bus that the real life Swoodilypoopers go to their matches on! I was in primary school and we were going on a trip, I forget where, but our coach broke down so the company called in a replacement and the only one left in their fleet was the Swindon Town coach! Best school trip ever!

[MrsLoveChuckle]

@vanbridge1995 No, they're not - and IRL bald John Green does not have a moustache. The sad, sad truth.

[seluuni]

Fauntleroy Hall. Pronounced Fawn-tell-roy.

[KicksGiggles]

I know that John makes all of this up...but alittle part of me likes to think that he actually did some research on the players and wrote alittle something about them before telling "their story" lol

[ChanceX666]

@KicksGiggles he did a little V. Pericard is French and is from Africa(Cameroon)

[MultiJulieL]

I just want to sing "bald John Greeen, Bald John Greeen" all day... I don't know what it is with me.

[zombiemeowk]

...More in love than Bald John Green?  D:

[papercutoutgirl]

John is such a good story teller.

[OstracizedEmu]

@papercutoutgirl And that, my friend, might just be why he's an author. :P

[theJJcomedycrew]

hes hurt,he cries,but he is filed with pride, Bald john green bald john green

[TheAzxcvbnml]

F. Hall F. hall when he scores he says F--- all.

[KBRNerdfighter]

I would have picked somewhere in the Caribbean or South Africa. But *shrugs* The Ivory Coast is good too. The rest of the story was good. :)

[blahblah0328]

flamboyant hall 

[krazykelsey0403]

Frank. Short for Frankenstein. :)

[crazypurplebutterfly]

ISCOREDAFREEKICKISCOREDAFREEKI­CKIDIDITIDIDITIDIDITYES!

[Biogirl52]

The stories about the players are impressive..... BUT I'd rather hear about something in real life :) Thanks!

[alucardyourface]

Does he make this up all on the spot?

[KBRNerdfighter]

@alucardyourface I wonder the same thing. 

[66CrtS]

Ef Hall.

[alollapalooza]

I honestly want to know where in the world he comes up with these stories about the players. I mean, does he improvise as he plays the game or does he come up with it beforehand? It astounds me.

[JagannathMxO]

Firstname Hall

[JagannathMxO]

@JagannathMxO It was a clerical error on his insurance forms when he joined the team.

[wannabeinhogwarts]

FIRE HALL.

[reallysmartguy]

definitely front

[reallysmartguy]

front hall

[thundabolt16sta]

You know, I actually had a werid feeling that you were going to score that free kick. And you did.

DFTBA is all I can say.

[robyndainty]

Francisco Hall!

[ryudatuba]

The one thing you didn't mention is why his parents named him Voluptuous. Family name? Named after his mother, perhaps?

[55raiden]

John! How could you ever forget Fjord Hall?! He was born in Reykjavik, Iceland before he moved to Canada at the young age of 5. He is named after his ancient ancestor who was with Leif Erikson when he discovered Newfoundland. Also, It is rumored that in the locker room before every game he yells the Viking battle cry at the top of his lungs to get pumped up. Maybe you should ask him about his life and make a video about it soon. ;D

[veyronman]

@55raiden why would he be called Fijord (famously Norwegian), but actually be from Iceland?

[55raiden]

@veyronman Fjord is a Scandinavian word which consists of both Iceland and Norway. It's like saying if my name was Daniel and I live in Mexico but the actual name,of course, comes from Spain. Same language, different countries.

[TheJoyfulDayz]

00:13 Am I the only one who thought of wheezy waiter?

[SoHartful]

Frank.. hanks long lost twin brother.

[CornwalltheOmni]

F stands for Front. Front Hall.

[mapswithlinesonthem]

Forgotten Hall. It's not just a character trait, John, its his name.

[BothSweetAndSmart]

i live near Watford....it's raining right now!!! 4D HAHA xx

[immaru]

The best part is that F.Hall's IRL name is Fitz. He has the best nickname in the football leagure, "Onesize". Onesize Fitz Hall. It's genius. Google it if you don't believe me.

[chanym1992]

This is a very productive game. a corner kick goal and a free kick goal. Awesome job swoodily poopers.

[verybrendanable]

Freedom Hall.

[lawwrennn]

fault in our halls.

[DarthSivius]

French "The Llama' Hall

[lauradee2010]

FREDRICK!!

[alisonclare24]

More in love then Bald John Green and Other John Green?!

[EdMickleburgh]

F should stand for Filbert or Frankincense

[XxiloveGWxX]

O.M.G. I'm Voluptuous' wife!!

Yes,we are very happy together

[Javjean]

Let's make a verb for what John does. I think I will call it SWOODLING!

[TheGrimTruth]

Personally, I liked last games suggestion of "Fitz" with the nickname "One Size". It made me laugh. Thought it deserved being brought back up though I don't remember who said it originally.

[HighKingTurgon]

I just realised that relative to the clock, everybody in FIFA runs incredibly slow.

[roopoop9]

it needs to be fredrick after my drunk kitchen

[likesummersnow]

Is he more in love with his wife than the green's are with each other?

[Bramtic]

I actually put my arms up and jumped out of chair when Other John Green scored the free kick goal. I love this channel.

[SlipperehPuppeh]

$6500 a week? Hell, I'd take that pay!

[davisaroflmao]

are you telling a story about the actual player, or is this like a fan fic or something? either way, its entertaining XD

[kingdomkey112]

F is for Frances.

[davisaroflmao]

ya know its funny, i have never cared about any sport or game as much as i care about these games

[mikemurphy383]

It sounds like John's in trouble with the Yeti and is making up for it vicariously through Pericard.

[buladim131313]

Vincent de Paul Péricard (born 3 October 1982 in Efok, Cameroon) is a French professional football player, who played in France with Saint Etienne and in Italy with Juventus before moving to England. In England he has played for several clubs. He has also played for the France U21 team. He is currently keeping fit by training with Bournemouth, managed by his former team mate Lee Bradbury. On 6 October 2011, he signed for Havant & Waterlooville on a free transfer.

[TheJeffSavage]

Is the Yeti pregnant? That entire story is basically your own life (younger brother, married, Liverpool fan, education for kids). You already have Henry, but still. Is there a John Green II on the way?

[dingalingdongly]

I like them apples. I like them very much.

[78nathan7]

Fart Hall

[gigiownsthemafia]

I often forget that he's talking about fictional people.

[emeraldmaria]

Did he do an Other John Green bio?

[42DangerVision]

Ferdinand Hall!

[poentasticgurl]

i got a bit excited when you said that you had a friend named craig cuz I assumed that you were talking about wheezy waiter...

[Riasaur1]

Ferrb (Hall. Ferrb was born in New York City and both his parents were actors. He grew up pretty much in the backstage of Broadway, befriending his parents fellow cast-mates and trying on costumes in his spare time. One afternoon his mother, Eva, brought him to a rehearsal for her current play. There he met a guy who was really into football and taught him all about it. From that moment on his dream was to move to England and become a football star. (And meet David Tennant)

[zidia7]

C. Austin needs a chant too!

Vlogbrothers' most viewed videos are John's. 05:39 - 05:52

I like Voluptuous. I like him a lot. :3

John could write a book about all the Swoodilypoopers. x)

[mickeyluvr13]

Fredrick.

[HelenaAndWhatever]

i think stone cold steve with a c austin needs a song/chant,so i can sing it every time he scores a goal..

[Quargos]

Funky Hall!

[martin47g]

Any one notice the shape of the ball after he scored the free kick at 11:03?

[spazylittleoddball]

@martin47g what do you mean?

[spizaak]

His name is definitely "One Size" Fitz Hall

[equalcharliebrown]

FANTASTIC haul! or hall sorry, but hey, Fantactic is an awesome (and not even made up up) name.

[themuffindragon]

"we'd all like to have what he has, with alice" punctuation saves marriages

[squaltch]

Who the F. is Hall?

[simontrold]

His name is actually Vincent de Paul Pericard, and is from Cameroon. I still loved your story though! ;-)

[rfreyna1212]

Frankenstein

[PurpleWillowsTrees]

Felipè Hall?

[Muskicks]

F. Hall...hmm...Finnik Hall? After Finnik from The Hunger Games?

[fightinirish273]

Frankenstein?

[videopossum]

Henry must get some really fantastic bedtime stories.

[Vad1m1r]

Frankie Hall!

[JazzMan5000]

Francois Hall :) 

[Xsuvival]

I'll never look at V.P the same way, what a great guy.

[NaokiKatakura]

@StFido maybe, but hank barely finished the beta and I was hoping he recorded the rest of it because Hank's commentary was one of the few I actually enjoyed watching.

[yitih]

Kinda miss you talking about something serious. How about your thoughts on the upcoming election and its prospects?

[alexisannish]

Filibuster Hall! Also, you should tell us the story of how Bald John Green and Other John Green came out to their parents.

[namesseeker]

I find it amazing how real john makes these matches and players seem! Truly a great Storytellar!

[themuffindragon]

Fellatio Hall

[dc8r17]

I noticed one of the Watford Strikers is called Buckley. Adds to the fun of the video.

[jml21000]

I love Pericard's backstory!

[lolololliepop1]

WATFORD :DDDDD

PS it doesn't always rain in England :D

[chackothehalfbreed]

when you tackle with the last player back its an automatic red card...

[Honeybear1028]

*tightness* XD

[nukeakitten]

v. pericard is so based on John Green in real life.

[GhostOfBobRoss]

I think your next book after TFIOS shoud be about the Swoodilypoopers.

[SriKitchi]

So is Alice Voluptuous Alice? ;)

[eriieekk]

@SriKitchi she would be Alice Pericard

[SriKitchi]

@eriieekk Yeah... but Voluptuous Alice would be so much more fun! (That sounds a lot more wrong than I intended it to be... but then again, she does have Voluptuous in her name, so you can't really blame me. :P)

[EpicPoulsen]

First Hall, he has an older brother, and parents with a good sense of humor :)

[ClocksInMyPlace]

John, could you talk about your favourite things? Suggestions: food, drinks, TV, music, films, (more about) books, websites, (more about) places, hobbies.

[MarciaCM2]

The F stands for Father, that's what the other members of the team call him "Father Hall" 'cause he wanted to be a priest, maybe you can tell us the rest of the story. :)

[habahameh10]

@AwsmAdm I know right!

[rikko338]

0-1 to Swansea. Of course. If only it happened like that in real life...

[SPNforever4]

Fernando Hall...I'm a fan of that one XD

[transboyforpride]

I vote Farticus. Or Fillippe. 

[CobrasVenom]

Saw the top comment, turned on the transcribe icon and, uh, well they're not very nice to F. Hall...

[ez99xxx]

Farticus Hall. His mother was drunk when she was naming him.

[Monkeyfro4]

"Releasing a shot at the exact right moment"... John, we love you, but...

[SlightlyOffKilterCo]

John, could you talk about your your first job out of college?

[g00hz]

@SlightlyOffKilterCo Yes, I've been worried too. Good idea

[bathannahh]

I work at Liverpool FC :) It's a pretty cool job!

[ShaddapaYoFace]

You know in real life, V Pericard used to play for Juventus? And played in the EPL for Portsmouth.

And we've told you what F Hall's name is...read the comments!!

[glassisland]

F. Hall's first name can't be said in polite company - but he says it anyway.

[ShaddapaYoFace]

Hahaha if you click 'transcribe audio' on captions on this video it is absolutely hilarious.

Swindon Town swoodlypoopers = these women's absolutely troopers

Other John Green = articulate green

Steve with a C Austin = still told Steven's CEO

Voluptuous Pericard = lovefest burkhart

xD

[Cadwaladr]

F. Hall is called Francis, and he's named after Sir Francis Drake, to whom he is distantly related on his mother's side

[bendluck]

John, F.Hall is Fitz Hall. With the nickname One Size. one size fitz hall. Someone commented it on the previous video. And it's bloody amazing. (and apparently true)

[captaintom25]

I whooped at the free kick.

[mabyeabitmad]

Funky Hall

[mrfreeman1995]

I love how voluptuous Pericard is John!

[WindChimesatNight]

When FIFA invented this, I don't think they thought that anyone would make up stories about the players xD

[HaploidCell]

I hope, after making this video, John got up and said:

"You know what? All these things I said about Pericard, and being attentive and getting flowers?

Just for shits and giggles - and because I love my wife - I am GETTING her flowers right now."

And then he ordered them instead of going himself because he has a ton of signatures to sign but his wife liked them anyway which was a very good thing.

And she opened her Yeti-arms and embraced him in the secret Yeti-hug of married Yetis.

I realy hope!

[freshbreathofcarson]

John, you should play DFTBA: John and Hanks awesome adventure!!

[HaploidCell]

Freddy?

[johnniewalker2222]

Does anyone call you Johnnie?

[thecrimsonbubbles]

Is Fat Lucas single?

[lokiadams]

its francis hall, but clearly everyone just calls him "ef 'all"

[nerdilocation]

first free kick scored and first corner scored!!! whhheeyyyyyy

[Threxd]

This is awesome, Watford is totally my local team, my mum works at the hospital round the corner from their stadium!

They're terrible :D

[ModerateNachos]

Much like F. Scott Fitzgerald, while F. does stand for Francis, he prefers F. Hall.

[timverma]

The John's are as in love as Voluptuous!

[AroShottProductions]

Filibuster Hall

[Wolf6120]

Finkle Hall

[Wolf6120]

Wait, if Voluptous Pericard makes 65 hundred and he doesnt play very often, how much does bald John Green make?

[Dmcghee3]

I'm an engineering major, and i hate it.

[Lhizna]

I'm confused how John plays so much FIFA if he's signing allllll those pages of TFIOS...

[hockeymurph34]

C. Austin, DON'T GET HURT!

[Sllekmada]

if you place 3-6 in the league, you go to a playoff for promotion, so you're actually doing great

[radpotterrelatedname]

Leee-on France? rofl <3

[TheSH1N1GAM1]

So what is Voluptuous Pericard's wife's name?

[TheCurlyBrackets]

@TheSH1N1GAM1 alice.

[clandestine919]

Was Craig ever a..waiter?

[Dummweltschutz]

@clandestine919 yes

[TheSpacMen]

When you said "Its raining in England..." I looked outside my window and saw it was raining... in England...

[clandestine919]

FITZ HALL



[croZish]

Fancy Hall..

[kekeoki123]

Falcon Hall or the French the lama one

[doesntmatterihadsex]

press Y to jump your wall when defending free kicks

[KisforKookie]

I love the backstories of players, but story time is greatly missed. Could you tell a friend story and share your thoughts on friendship?
