Belated Book-tacular Questions

[NeutralWeezy]

1:15 TFiOS!!!!

[Solachinx]

That sequel to the book never written: Would it be The Fault in Our Stars to An Imperial Affliction? (kind of a sequelish thing, maybe, sorta, nes, not really)

[LizzytheRhetoric]

Whoa, John. If you wrote every book in print, then you'd also have written Twilight. You have to examine the consequences of these situations.

[silverdragon1314]

@LizzytheRhetoric The Twilight franchise(<-which I probably spelled wrong, I admit) had made a good amount of money. So, if John had wrote Twilight,he would be getting that money.

[antiquecans69]

"I was mugged!"

"What'd he look like?"

"He was tall with bronze hair!"

-Alex Day.

[GypsyBaby396]

e.e. cummings is my favorite!!!

[ladysbaby]

My friend must be a Bird

Because it flies!

Mortal, my friend must be,

Because it dies!

Barbs has it, like a Bee!

Ah, curious friend!

Thou puzzlest me!

Go Emily Dickinson!

[OneNOnlyBabydoll]

I love edna st. vincent millay!

[PirateFrodoCullen]

I"M READING THE ASLAN BOOK FOR MIDDLE EAST HISTORY!!! That just made my day.... and made me excited to read that book..... :D

[CharmedSlayerr]

IThey have so had a simultaneous punishment. When they im'd eachother that one time

[Elphie021]

Hey, this was uploaded on my birthday :D

[carbonatedcheese]

also- writing a sequel to a non-existent book sounds like a fun, zany and fantastic idea!!

"Where is the Langston Hughes book?? WHAT is the point of having a cataloged home-library when I can't find Langston Hughes?!?!"

-excellent ;=D

[carbonatedcheese]

never had a simultaneous punishment before?! don't you remember when Hank IM'd you and you IM'd him back saying he was so punished?? that resulted in the dual punishments of recreating the embarrassing photos from your youth and green hair! ohhh John, how quickly we forget... well, not us. not the ones that have been obsessively marathon-ing all of the old vlogbrothers videos for weeks ;=D

i'm mostly just happy i've caught up so far. and more addicted to this channel than ever!

[muffincheesepie]

it's 4:01 long!

[ThatWeirdo04]

@muffincheesepie Youtube adds a second.

[XLittleMissAmazingX]

I vote Count Olaf.

[dumbledorerox98]

THE SEQUEL. I HOPE SO.

[UhOhitsAmberlynn]

I'd like to take this moment to mention, you've had dual punishments before...

John dyed all his hair green, Hank did the mohawk. I can't remember what else they had to do. But they did it because one them messaged the other, and the other messaged back. Textually.

But I do enjoy dual punishments. :)

[vazette]

Don't feel bad, John, I hear blood is really fattening, it goes right to your thighs.

[hmanhmanhmanhman]

My favourite lines from Hamlet are "For murder though it have no tongue will speak with most miraculous organ" and "though this be madness there is yet method in't"

[sirdoctoroftardis12]

I just spent four hours watching Vlogbrothers. After every video I said "This next one is last." This one is definitely last, but I have a question that will probably never be answered, as this video is several years old:

Am I addicted to Vlogbrothers as a video blog, the Green Brothers as people, Nerdfighteria, or The Essence of Pure Awesome? The answer may shock you.

[MegaRandompeoplez]

duel punishment? HELL YEAH GET OUT YOU YU-GI-OH CARDS!!!!

[Bosoxgalaxy]

Can we get "I vote count Chocula on a t-shirt/

[FunnyGirlz221]

i think it was I vote I count

[TheEzzran]

I think it meant Sesame Street's Count.

[Bl1ndArch3r]

Hurray for Catcher in the Rye!!

[mariahrose210]

There is no point to having a cataloged library if you can't find your Langston Hughes book

[LizzytheRhetoric]

It's "I vote I count". They stack them to try and be clever. Obvious fail.

[vngaris]

Maureen Johnson would win in that fight bc she would go all 13 little blue envelopes on them and then they'd have this sudden, powerful urge to go to europe and then, while they're distracted, she would win the fight

[teamorangeapple]

4:01 lol

[FantasticBlueGirl]

"How do you know I'm not a vampire? I"m very pale, I've got bronze hair." Oh John, I love you.

[Ravenclaw797]

"i find judy blume very interesting" hahaha.

[Friends4LIfe121995]

wait who is his favorite german writer???????????

[vngaris]

@Friends4LIfe121995 Goethe

[Quirellmort99]

The sticker says I vote, I count. The I is really big and goes before both vote and count

[lsugymgirl1]

what on earth is the obvious book of conjoined twins??

[cmccrzy]

He was tall and he had BRONZE HAIR! XD

[ettuaslumiere]

What would be the "obvious pick" for best conjoined twins fiction?

[haleymathiot]

you went one second over 4 minutes!!!

[nedarb0]

I think it meant "I vote I count". Without punctuation, it still doesn't make total sense, but it makes slightly more sense.

[Sailormoongrl412]

I just finished Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns :) They were awesome!

[WhatIfItWasPurple]

I just finished Paper Towns about five minutes ago.

[stargazer1574]

I think the point of the giant "I" was so the sticker would say "I vote I count". They were being artsy... I think.

[frustratingwriter]

Strictly speaking, "I vote count" is a sentence. It may be a grammatically questionable sentence, but clearly it means that you count votes.

[gelingelingx]

Urgh, I don't like Goethe. We disagree on Germans quite a lot, John. Very interesting. Nonetheless Goethes last words pwned. He said: "Mehr Licht." ("More light.")

[potatonoid610]

4:01 lolz

[Lexicografia]

@potatonoid610 youtube adds an extra second. it's not more than four minutes unless youtube shows at least 4:02

[MrXenthenk]

I Vote. I Count. Yup.

[FlailingHenchmen]

My Naughty Little Sister in your pants.

[lolgirl607]

waaaaait, you have been punished simultaneously. Remember the green hair thing? And the recreation of embarrassing pictures?

[CoryTheMagnificent]

now im just going to say this. you have photos and your video was 4:01

[ChristalClear]

Edward doesn't have a sufficient puff.

You are more deserving of living forever, John.

You too, Hank.

[KafeKawaiiChan]

Oh, silly, silly, John. You would never need to tell someone that they're wrong for hating Catcher in the Rye, because no one hates it. Anyone who has read it cannot help but to enjoy its amazing goodness. I thought I was going to hate it, but I ended up reading it four times in one week.

[momentsinmusic]

@KafeKawaiiChan you haven't meet some the people I know...O.O I, on the other hand. love Catcher in the Rye

[sterinways]

Sometimes, John Green really blows my mind.

[JESUSr00lz]

John, you're really tall. Just thought you'd like to know. Ps. When I wrote know, my iPad autocorrected me and wrote "Knowles " like Beyonce.

[cricketsballroom]

i vote count chocula

[g2theIrishPianist]

Of course Hamlet's last words would be your favorite line from Hamlet. It'd be odd if that wasn't your favorite line.

[FuyuAkiWorld]

The catcher in the rye is the best book in existance.

[somedaythewave]

A vote for count Chocula is a vote for deliciousness.

[rainbowbubblesXD]

I recently finished an english project on Paper Towns. It is a scrapbook.

[SticJay74]

I Vote Count Dooku

[250lespaul]

@SticJay74 so John McCain? and would Count Chocula be Barack lol

[ZutaMtian]

2:01 !!!

that is such a cool cover of Paper Towns *___* I love both hardcovers but I can't afford to buy 2 editions of a book + hardcovers are expensive.!!

does anyone know where to buy Paper Towns with that cover online?? ^^

(dftba people)

[ferngirltlc]

Actually I didn't like catcher in the rye when I read it. I'm not arguing with how well it was written. But the plot depressed me. Like a lot of famous books did...

[bufar]

You're not a vampire because you show up on film. Duh.

[mithwenarataur]

Really? The German title for "Looking for Alaska" is "Eine wie Alaska"?! I don't like how our book (and movie) titles never just are a translation of the original title. What would have been so bad about "Auf der Suche nach Alaska"? At least the wordplay would have stayed intact. Sigh... End of rant.

[delroth156]

4 minutes and one second!!!!!!!1

[KrustyFrank27]

I vote Frankenberry!

[bhelliom3]

Lol at 2:33 you said "Well first off" and didn't have a "second off". You are my favorite brother, as much as I would hate for Hank to read this.

[Vita1892]

Langston Hughes FTW :D

[TheSunshineNetwork]

heh, i vote count chocoula. i actually voted for bugs bunny in that election cause, honestly, both candidates scared me

[koalaloverr]

But you have had simultaneous punishments before!

remember the recreation of the pictures, john??

[freddi28]

Goethe wouldn't have used the word 'pwned' because he was to busy getting pwned by Schiller. QED

[appeasedsouls]

I think you made up question 7 'cause you really wanted to answer it.

You conjoined twin loving diva.

(^.-)~❤

[xoiheartmangosxo]

Yes, you have had a simultaneous punishment: when you both instant messaged each other.

[armadillolimbo]

To His Coy Mistress is my favorite poem EVAR. Good pick.

[LiviaXilvia]

I'm not sure how many people have already said it, but I think that means "I vote, I count." just a thought. I feel bad about commenting on an old video

[RisenTwice]

The rest is silence. That was brilliant.

[Mikeryan5]

yer but recently your videos have been going for 4:01 minutes

[pseudocaveman]

That's because of the way YouTube compresses videos. Other people can explain it better than I can, but rest assured: The video is actually 4 minutes in length, and YouTube added a second to it.

[flyingicecream]

The super huge 'I' means you must use it twice. 'I vote, I count.'

[slinkiesandpie22]

:D I absolutely adore J.D. Salinger for writing Catcher in the Rye. Caulfied rocks ;)

[Lord784]

=O to his coy mistress!!!

[kattykitkat5909]

i just had to write a 5 page research paper on the life and writings of emily dickinson for my english 2 class. i pwned: got an A!

[HighKingTurgon]

"To His Coy Mistress"--never would have thought of that, but you just pwned my entire imaginative genius. But yeah, that is brilliant, including the addition of "not yet in her pants." I cried a little bit from the laughing.

[animeotaku]

I used this in my research paper on Edna St. Vincent Millay! My life is complete.

[justanotherhypocrite]

i love dorothy parker!!!!

[NillumNaes]

what was the obvious choice for fiction?

[MercuryIcePrincess]

One of his books

[Mariswimmer7]

I think it's supposed to be, "I vote, I count"...as in something like "I think...therefore I am"

[porcupine179]

You have given me the ability to sleep tonight. I thank you.

[Vita1892]

@Mariswimmer7 Yeah, that makes a lot of sense too. I thought it was a 1 and not an "I" as in "One vote has been counted."

[PiratedChocolate]

This video is more then 4 minutes long...just sayin.

[housevixen]

Intelligent witticism of this episode aside,

hehehehe I felt a burst of joy at the mention of count chocula.

[hypnotisedbabe]

Dude. I actually GOT the 'To His Coy Mistress' joke, though after analysing the poem for an hour and a half, you would have assumed so. Marvell REALLY wanted her to get in his pants.

[TheNewDayDawns]

the amazing john green quoted my favourite ee cummings poem. he is so jokes.

[LoveShiaGDSN]

"I wish I had written all of them"

which would be possible if you were a vampire. just saying. by the way, if you were a vampire you would pwn all other vampires in all of fiction...or is it fiction? dun dun dun. (to answer my own question: yes, yes it is). except for the one that looks like a kitten wrestling a rainbow ofcourse ;)

[myhandisapokemon]

whats the obvious choice for fiction about conjoined twins?

i guess im off my conjoined twins game...

[mylovelydame21]

*does the Nerdfighter Hands when you say that your book was allowed in the cirriculum* YES! OH, I love when the good guys win!

[ChateauOfADoubt]

I love telling people that their opinions are wrong.

[broadway331]

The Dorothy Parker poem reminded me of the play Blithe Spirit. My school performed it last year, and there was a lot of drinking.

[EmoDaKid]

wow..ive just spent an hour looking through my books adding "in your pants" to the end and giggling at how humorus i found em'

[idrils]

I just remembered that, as a kid, I had invented a whole story with conjointed twins. Very fortunately it never saw the light of day... maybe to your regret

[ljlightfire1]

yes they did it was the picture punishment where they reinacted thier most embarasing pictures

[xDangerousCupcakex]

No god but God in your pants. ^_^

Baha, Little Pea.

[peoplecallmeagoth]

looking for alaska pwns the school system!

:D

[ExplosiveBoring]

This video is one second over 4:00.

[pyromaniacchica]

I started laughing so hard after the Dorthy Parker quote that I had to stop the video and rewind because I missed about 20 seconds after that.

[logician15]

I vote count...chocula is a total win. I laugh every time I watch that part :)

[Dazzlezzz]

4:01?

[CoconuttyScent]

But John, If you had written all the books...You woulden't have anything to read.

Is it really worth it ?

[andrew1218]

Yes you have had simultaneous punishments: Recreation of embarrassing photographs and green hair.

[HideAndGoGeek]

"i vote, i count"

[cassidylaynee]

I'm pretty sure it's "I vote, I count." Notice the freakin' gigantic I?

[inu671]

harr, ee cummings. We just read the poem a couple days ago (followed with a boring discussion, but the guy's awesome).

[98Clank98]

This video is 4:01 so you must be punished.

Cover paper towns in mustard then lick it off.

[cookie4monster4]

Maybe it was supposed to be "I vote, I count" or "My vote counts" xD hahaha I don't know

[vjm1234]

just finished the book and I LOVED LOVED LOVED it! So glad I got it for my birthday! SMileyD

[SiennaElderly]

"I vote Count"... yeah, not a sentence unless Dracula is on the ballot.

[Fralmunk]

I've never read a book about conjoined twins.. maybe I should read some XD

[jennbible]

i want, a john green/paper towns/looking for alaska t-shit,poster,and bumper sticker, you should make some

[lysmeanslily]

ah andrew marvel to his coy mistress is amazing

[cattieloves]

Were you reaching for the "Hold fast to dreams" poem? That's my favorite Langston Hughes poem... :)

[jjdrama]

Come on, that's everyone's favorite Hughes poem, although you are undoubtedly awesome for even mentioning it.

[slavicpolymath]

Hmm.

For my favorite line from Hamlet, I'd have to go with "Methinks it is like a weasel."

[cynthiafvilla]

umm i think its supposed to be I vote, I count

lmao

[jlbohrer]

4:01 long! omg irony

[cosmo720]

i think the actual rule is that it can be a max of 4:01, which i think that's what he answered on an earlier question tuesday.

[xpsychosomaticx]

i wanna read Paper Towns, SELL IT IN IRELAND DAMMIT!!! (or if you already do the bookshops dont like me )

and catcher in the rye is awesome =D

[starryeyedocean]

I agree with this guy, SELL IT IN IRELAND!

[senorsqueakydesk]

I wish I'd written every book ever as well. I don't even care about the riches so much as the ridiculous amount of fame that would come from having written everything that anyone on earth could possibly read.

[andyvirus102]

shhhhhhhhhh 1 second

[BarrowsBOY]

god i love the irony of this video.

(its over 4 mins)

[sevsquad]

i think it dosn't include the intro...

[kiterunners2]

I have a question for you next question Tuesday. :)

How is the Paper Towns script coming?

[100PercentGeeks]

"Little Pea. In Your Pants!"

That made me LOL Badly :D

[chewbobington]

Yay, you are correct, Catcher in the Rye IS excellent! And I will not offer up a punishment as my reading skills tell me that this video was posted almost a year ago and you have most assuredly been punished by now. Which I can't wait to watch.

[KidBlondie]

As my official nerd fighter punishment, I order you to slide down a banister of razor blades and land in a pool of alcohol.

[rockinrollsoul]

not alcohol.

lemon juice.

[alexisriddle]

Goethe is amazing! Yay, Faust!

[fewoberlin]

alles klar

[Stavi889]

technically this video is over four minutes

[IdRatherBeOnPluto]

GASP! NO MONTAGE! AHHHHHHHHHH!

[ashfangirl]

I wonder what paper towns cover he likes best

[ashfangirl]

technically this video is over 4 minutes long

[PEYTOONIE]

This is my favourite Question-Tuesday type thing. :)

I love this.

I love VlogBrothers.

I love being a Nerdfighter.

You guys should come to Toronto.

Stop neglecting us. :(

[DittoFreak]

Comment 281:

This video went for 4 minutes and 1 second!!!

Therefore you are as guilty as Hank!!!

[adihiedler]

youtube frequently adds one second at the end of videos for some reason. this has happened to John on several occasions. usually he mentions it in the side bar.

[LoserJinxedAndJaded]

I vote Count Chocula too!

[wordweaverrr]

I've been trying to find this particular video for over a month now.

FINALLY.

[summerlovin28x]

Gahh he totally compared himself to edward cullen! =) lol

[dorkestranerd]

omg! discreet twilight reference!!!

[pointlessjudjment]

WOO!!!!! I just finished your AMAZING book Paper Towns

[speede179]

I blame you for making me appreciate literature more. :)

[krystallemeth77]

Eine wie Alaska?

AWESOME.

[koratheexplora]

John, don't be silly it means I vote I count.

[youowemeanIOU]

Niiiiice! I wouldn't have picked that up, ahha.

[Blue421]

Haha, I was going to post that too.

They have stickers like those here too.

[iamsmoochums]

:) Vlogbrothers!

[StickmanQueen]

umm...what about the im mess up? "dude, ur so punished..."

[deathbyhershey]

I think the sticker says "I vote, I count", that's why the "I" is big

[slipknot666lambofgod]

thats what i got.

[TobiSkye]

What is The Catcher In the Rye about? I keep being told I need to read it, but I have no clue what it's about.

[speede179]

The best way to find out is to read it. teehee.

[TheDogStar12]

"We've never had a simultaneous punishment before."

Haven't you though? XD

[Ichbinblod]

LIES! There SO was a simultaneous punishable event! remember the ichat incident?! lol

[AlbinoChocolateMufin]

Yes you have john, stck peeps to your face

[nerdra]

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD, JOHN JOHN JOHN!!!!

Little Pea is in fact the ONLY children's book that I have ever purchased for myself, (not the only one I own) and is kept on my bookshelf carefully wrapped in the plastic bag I received from the cashier who sold it to me so as to save it for my future Nerdfighter Babies from the pervasive dust bunnies of Kasilof, Alaska!!!

It is only the most special and adorable book I've ever seen. And now it's even better. Nerdfighters FTW.

[geishapaint]

i like how you just totally picked my favorite lines from my favorite cummings poem. insane.

[REMsleeper428]

I love that you referred to Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress"

Which is also an allusion TWICE in Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. (I just said that because you've referred to Eliot maybe twice throughout the entire Brotherhood 2.0 videos)

[bylandl]

meant to say both I vote and I count?

[mlove1307]

Haha OMG the vampire thing is hilarious.. i love this video..

[Zyztematic]

04:01

we alla know what that means.. ;)

[onceweweremonsters]

The quote is actually "Handsome this day, no matter who has died."

Not beautiful...

[ErinLynnS]

Goethe is very awesome... especially when you read his works in German.
