  • Chris Crocker just makes me sad about life...

  • I think I stop blinking when I watch you not blink.

  • "the shattered helmet in your pants" #laughingfordays

  • I don't know why it took me so long to view this video, but thank god I did. John, you're my hero. Like, for real. As a young trans person learning to deal with society's views of gender binary, I am forever grateful to know that you and-- judging from the comments on this video-- many nerdfighters are on my side.

  • The Hardy Boys are so jokes I loved those books.

  • Thank you. My god. John. Thank you.

  • let it snow in your pants

  • Looking for Alaska in your pants. An Abundance of Katherines in your pants.

  • @GoodNightMoon19511 paper towns in your pants

  • Frostbite.. in your pants

  • Ahh, and thus begins the 'in your pants' jokes :)

  • I want a four-headed dragon in my pants.

  • the last thing i remeber....... in your pants

  • In your pants Tintin joke: The Secret of the Unicorn, in your pants!

  • I count 4.5 blinks. I definitely lost the staring contest.

    I forgot how monotone these first videos are. Yay for marked improvement!

  • The Hidden Staircase... In your pants.

    ^

    Nancy Drew

  • Not on topic of the video, but I just found out that getting all 3 of your novels at my local bookstore for(approximately, with tax) 25 bucks :3 I'm going to get Paper Towns tomorrow(hopefully) but if they dont have it stock, either of the other 2 is good as well. :D

  • Aren't both sides of that laughter the wrong side?

  • I love how he is laughing the whole time he is saying in your pants

  • hahaha Pile of treasure. Samurai Swords.... pants.... hahahahahahahahaha

  • YOU BLINKED!

  • The Swamp Monster....IN YOUR PANTS!

  • Chris Crocker recent? I hath stumbled upon ye old video.

  • He does porn now -__-

  • I feel as though the genderization of these books was so strong when we were kids. I'm a female, but I read hardy boys through my whole childhood. Kids used to make fun of me. Its stupid.

  • THE SWAMP MONSTER IN YOUR PANTS!!!!!

  • You forgot "What Happened at Midnight in your pants"

  • nancy drew: the sign of the twisted candle in your pants

  • Don't forget the nancy drew book: the secret of the wooden lady... in your pants.

  • so much love

  • I am bigendered. Born female, very happy to be female, I like my boobs, thank you. But I have a male perspective some of the time, and a female perspective other times. I just wish I had the figure to be able to cross-dress. When I was in high school, I realized my orientation is bisexual. Thinking back, I always looked at women, and looked at men, in the same way, with sexual fascination. After a while, I realized that as I became more comfortable with myself being bisexual, I found myself---

  • @freezie656 acting as a society-defined guy. Choosing to walk around with no shirt on {Bra, yes, but that's because I have a particularly comfortable one}, sitting in chairs backwards, tending to use typical guy-flirting-with-girl lines, even to the point of where I started realizing... damnit, half my brain is male! And I was raised in a family of two girls, by wonderful made-of-awesome parents, who would rather me like myself being me than trying to be what they "wanted most" in a daughter.---

  • @freezie656 even though I still haven't technically told them I'm bigendered. Gods that feels good to explain to someone. My issue with "society standards" actually has nothing to do with where I lived or even my high school. It's when I go visit my friend {andpossiblefuturegirlfriendgo­dsdoihopeigettheballstoaskhero­ut} in her small town that it becomes a problem. Her mum actually warned us to not be as cuddly as we normally are. Just 'cause we're two females in body does not mean

  • @freezie656 we're not a straight couple! And damn youtube's character limit. >>;

  • @freezie656 did you as her out?? Did you?!

  • @freezie656 did you ask her out?? Did you?!

  • @siriusthecat Yes. And it failed. :/ we were still friends for a while, but she recently stopped talking to me.

  • @freezie656 :( That's not cool... Oh well. I guess not everything works out.

  • I loved Nancy Drew books when I was little!

  • I love how you read through all of those titles and made them into a cohesive question haha. I just went through all of my Nancy Drew mysteries and the "in your pants" rule really does apply to all of them. My favorite? "The Secret of the Forgotten City"...in your pants.

  • I'm still working my way through old videos, and I reached this one today. Your video is especially appropriate today, the day after some people have their panties (or other gender-appropriate underwear) in a bunch about a J. Crew advertisement depicting a five-year-old boy with neon pink toenail polish. It's amazing that people can get so crazy when gender identity is involved.

  • I don't laugh at him because he's different. I laugh at him because he's got kind of an ego and seems like a little bit of a dick and craves attention.

  • John, what you are saying here is SO important. We don't realize it, but we're ALL hurt by restrictive gender based personality and behavior expectations. I hope someday we will live in a world where we can all be authentic and be valued for that.

  • Yay for Kurt Cobain! Boo for Britney.

  • Paradise of the Blind... in your pants.

  • Oh man this is so great!

  • Thank you for talking about this!!!

  • YOU. ARE. AMAZING. thank you for talking bout this ^^ just sayin. in your pants.

  • As a transgender person, I just want to say thank you for this, John.

  • My dislike of Chris Crocker has nowt to do with his sexuality, I honestly think he's a self-righteous arsehole. It's not even as though his ranting is intelligent. He just comes across as a complete bitch.

  • Kurt Cobain ftw! :D

    Brotherhood two point oh 2.0 John Hank Green Chris Crocker

  • I know this is a comment on a very old video, and that'd always weird, but I'd just like to say one thing:

    "What Happened at Midnight"... in your pants.

  • Yes!!! I love yu for the Kurt Cobain comment. He releases more talent than Britney Spears when he exhales!

  • aw so sweet to see john talking about babies when he would later have one...and find out exactly how much they like pooping.

  • My friend and I were watching this, and she started laughing and leaning back in the chair. She knocked over a cup, and while picking it up cut her finger, and now we can't find band aids anywhere.

    Great video, BTW.

  • Apply the same ending to hymns and church is worth looking forward to. :)

  • Oh, the thought of a tower of treasure in your pants . . .

  • Just came back through to rewatch this one...John, how could you have missed the Hardy Boys title, "The Mystery of the Chinese Junk...in your pants"? That's comedy gold, man!

    NERDFIGHTERS!

  • The very hungry inch worm....in yournpants

  • "Every time Kurt Cobain coughed he spit out more talent than Brittany Spears has ever possessed"....hahahahha....i love Kurt, and i love you John Green :P

  • FINALLY! I've got a famous adult on my side about gender roles and sexuality!!!! I LOVE YOU JOHN! (Also, i bought Will Grayson, Will Grayson today :D)

  • Thank you. I may be three years late, but THANK YOU. I am currently in a relationship with a transgendered woman and she is among the most wonderful people have ever known. I may not fully understand all the little nuances of transsexuality, but you really don't have to in order to realize that it is a completely legitimate way of life.

  • And THIS is exactly how I feel about the Chris Crocker situation.

  • yay my birthday!!!!

  • Those In Your Pants Jokes were really funny!

  • While I don't really like Chris Crocker (Her stance on certain subjects and her way of dealing with them gets on my nerves), I like that she (Yes, I will call her a she) is open about herself.

  • What? First of all, how would getting laid make him any funnier at all? John Green is hilarous to begin with and getting "laid" has nothing to do with someones capacity for humor. And by the way, do you type like that on purpose? Or are you just an 11 year old moron who can't learn how to hit the keys on the keyboard correctly?

  • ...Wow. I was definitely making fun of Nath21792, but nice try everyone. Seriously, applause all around.

  • This gender observation has me, as an anthropology nerd, thinking;

    "Mary Douglas! :D Matter out of place and anomalies! :D:D:D This is totally relevant to my interests!"

    Also, to add: a lot of societies actually have a 'third gender', for males and females who don't fit with the behavior patterns associated with their biological gender. For instance, the Fulbe of northern Cameroon define men who aren't married and who cook as 'samarooka' - neither fully male or female.

  • Holes. In your pants

  • i think its tragedies that people seem to like laughing at other people just cause they are differant.

  • My favourite childhood book, ruined:

    "The owl who was afraid of the dark in your pants".

  • Boxcar Children!

    The Mystery Of The Traveling Tomatoes In Your Pants

    Benny Uncovers a Mystery In Your Pants

    The Chocolate Sundae In Your Pants

    Mystery in the Cave In Your Pants

    The Vanishing Passenger In Your Pants

    The Box That Watch Found In Your Pants

    The Pilgrim Village In Your Pants

  • @amyleona2 YES! Old comment, but I so need to reread those books. Great titles.

  • I want to copy and paste your words into the world.

  • 'The masked monkey in your pants' Wow! That's so freaking awesome! And lauging at people because they are different is definetly not jokes

  • I don't think it's jokes either.

  • I have now memorized that line about Cobain.

  • I LOVE KURT!

    :D

  • To be perfectly honest, when I find things on the internet to be particularly amusing, I laugh inside, but I rarely loose my unintentional poker face. This video made me laugh, out loud, loud enough to be heared from other portions of the house. This was highly unusual, and I thank you personally for it.

  • Oh man.... I already thought you were awesome.... but then.... then you just go ahead and mention Kurt Cobain's "mad skillz"

    Now.... you are my new hero..... *bows head in silence*

  • 3.54 - 3.58

    Thank you, John. So much.

  • Oh, GOD, JOHN! You made me LOL everywhere. In a public library. LMAO!

  • One of my earliest experiences with gender identity involved working at McDonald's and selling Happy Meals, where we were instructed to ask if the consumer wanted a toy for a girl or a boy ( we usually asked the child directly). Despite what the kids chose, the fathers ALWAYS wanted their boys to have "boy" toys and the girls to have "girl" toys and would veto the child's decision if it didnt match. Mothers wanted whatever toy kept the child happy and quiet. I always found that interesting.

  • @pepismama john made a video about that incase you didnt know(:

  • @pepismama When I was a little kid, and I would get a Happy Meal from McDonalds, I'd get the "boy" toy, because I was never one for Barbie. Then again, I wasn't all for Hot Wheels either. It was always such a delicate balance, I never knew what to choose. Anyway, DFTBA.

  • my fave thing to do when i can't sleep is to watch old vlogbrothers videos... so that's why comments from me keep popping up on old vids.

    one little note - gender is born, but it doesn't always match sex. as a 20 something physically female with a gender identity that is best described with a question mark or a "wtf??" i wanna thank you for this vid. heres a *hug* for being awesomely openminded.

  • LOL trouble in the pipeline in your pants

  • YES JOHN! Thank you for your views on gender dichotomy and its ridiculousness. Much appreciated.

  • the invisible intruder in your pants...

  • A) Those are NOT argyle socks! ^__^

    B) Here's the thing about Chris Crocker: he IS hilarious (in an incredibly obnoxious way), and he IS offensive. No, not because he's gay. Anyone who's laughing at him because of that is an absolute asshole. But the thing is, he has several videos, and some are ridiculously overdramatic, (the Britney vlog), and some are just rude. He says that he cares more about his beauty than any mom cares for her child, and that shaving his face is more difficult than PMS.

  • "Everytime Kurt Cobain coughed he spit out more talent than Britteney Spears ever possesed."

    I agree.

  • Hell yes.

  • So true....

  • Every time he farted he provided more entertainment than a three and a half hour Britney Spears show. But I won't get carried away.

  • Right On!!! I had an inkling of this Chris Crocker defense in my brain, and a ghost form of this idea bugged me every time people laughed at his expense...but I couldn't put my finger on why I was bothered. I don't have much sympathy for Brittany, so, I didn't know exactly what it was that made me sympathetic to Chris. You have cleared up a little cloud in my brain.

    And, yeah, best "in my pants" jokes ever.

  • edit: I had sympathy for Chris...not the other way around...not that I know of anyway.

  • Wow, those were some of the best in your pants ever :D God, those never get old haha.

  • may i point out that in ancient greece sex between men was considered the purest fom of intercouse?

  • Comment removed

  • Good points all-around.  I never read Hardy Boys, but it does suck that such labels are put on things such a "boy books" and "girl books."

  • Hear hear!

  • Have you ever done "in your pants" to the book "Moby Dick"?

    Because, really, that's the best one ever.

  • Babies are attracted to toys that have highly contrasting colors. E.G. Black and White Toys.

  • I was going through my reading list next year using 'In your pants', and I found myself giggling like the schoolgirl I am when I got to Sense and Sensibility (in your pants), Good omens (In your pants) and Peeps in your pants).

  • "Underworld" in your pants.

  • Nerdfighters fight for Nerds and all who are "out of the mainstreem" (May I quote RENT in saying "to anyone out of the main streem, is anyone in the main streem.)

  • Ekkkk!!! Nerdiness and RENT!! Yayness!!

  • Blonde zombies in your pants

    An Abundance of Katherines in your pants.

    Looking for alaska in your pants

    paper towns in your pants

    boy meets boy....

    IN YOUR PANTS.

  • I like it when awesome people like John set good examples for other people. "be nice" and "people are differently gendered and that's fine" are excellent lessons. Thank you, John-Who-Probably-Won't-See-Th­is.

  • I approve of you and you're good personed ways.

  • I got a really good one. "The Secert" in your pants

  • How about "An abundance of Katherines" in your pants, or "Looking for Alaska" in you pants?

  • perhaps the many people who laugh at both chris crocker and at our nerdliness are undeniably jealous of our differences.

  • I echo espifreak's sentiment. It's absolutely unfair to demean Chris Crocker because she's transgender. Thanks, John, for addressing this issue in a constructive way by vlogging about it. 5 stars, as always.

  • the silver cobwebs in your pants

    XD

    that made me laugh sooooo hard!

  • wow i havent laughed that much in a while.

    some of the best "in you pants" jokes ever.

  • the stone idol...in your pants...

    AHAHAHA

  • I'm not laughing at him for being the way he is (transgender, gay, whatever...although him talking about hair-pulling at one point was rather lame). I respect differences, and I'm not offended or put off by that side of him.

    I'm laughing for the fact that he's freaking out over the treatment of Britney Spears. Britney Spears? C'mon! There are more important things in life to lose tears or sleep or time over...like happy dances and ukeleles and novels...instead of an overrated pop star.

  • hahah the in your pants jokes were amazingly funny. ahahhaahahahhah

    and i agree about chris crocker. and even beyon the whole britney thing, he also often has really good points. he may be different but does that make him bad?

    john,m your awesome.

  • I gots to applaud the vlogbrothers on this one. While I found the Crocker video, um, disorienting, the homophobic slurs on his comments exploded out of control. And as much as I never cared for Britney or her music, I found myself defending this peculiarly emotional young gentleman on myspace and youtube because the floods of hate made my skin crawl. Truly disgusting.

  • Invisible Monsters in your pants.

    I still feel bad for Kurt Cobain, but he was just a depressed guy. And that's probably why he got into drugs, but Britney is just a talentless crack whore.

  • Hear Hear

  • I thought that I respected you as much as possible before this video. I was wrong. I respect you so much more now. Well done!

    NERDFIGHTERS!!!

  • i sont think crocker is messed up because hes gay, because even if he was straight he would be a very wierd guy, ina bad way, person. he doesnt seem to have any sense of appropriate or not approptiate or respect.

  • Comment 181:

    striped bed socks are so jokes

  • hint its me!

  • A Great and Terrible Beauty...in your pants

    19 Minutes...in you pants

    Before I Die...in your pants

    I think nthat Jon makes a good point about gender stereotyping begining from such an early age. I'm student teaching right now, and I'm glad that the school I'm at encourages the students to do all sorts of activities no matter what their gender is.

  • I'm so glad that John took a stand on the LGBT rights issue. And I couldn't agree with him more.

  • the prisoner of askaban... in your pants.

    a tale of two cities... in your pants.

    i agree with you 100% on the LGBT argument.

    i myself am a lesbian and it's hard enough without the laughter. it's even harder for gay guys and transgendered people because of society's judgement.

    P.S. PAPER TOWNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • an abundance of katherines... in your pants

    looking for alaska... in your pants

    paper towns... this one doesnt work so well. o well! John i luvvvv ya and ya books

  • A space Odyssey in your pants

  • a masked monkey in you pants..uhh imagine that!

  • "The Tower of Treasure .. in your pants"

    Hahahahahahah!

  • i found another 'in your pants' title.

    Aaron's Rod (in your pants) by D-H-Lawrence

  • i love your striped socks :]

  • I like the "ts" noise you make when you say 'pants'.

  • "Cousins Hardy"

    ...the Hardy Boys were Nancy's cousins?

    Why did I read one where she was totally making out with one of them....huh.

    Although she's changed over the years.

    And I don't think the Sept 11th question was answered.

  • You can do this with Agatha Christie books too. The Unexpected Guest in your pants. And Then There Were None in your pants. The Five Little Pigs in your pants. It's all gold.

  • haha! in your pants jokes! XD

  • the in your pants jokes, you can tell that you are finding it hard to keep a straight face!!!!!

  • wow you remind me of doctor cox from scrubs

  • the kurt coibain line was totally jokes and sooooooooooooooo true dftba hank and john+ brotherhood 3.0 PL0x

  • Right when I thought In Your Pants jokes would get old soon...THOSE WERE TOTALLY JOKE AND MADE OF AWESOME.

  • I love Kurt Cobain. He's a grunge genius!

  • AMEN!!!

  • i love the Kurt Cobain line freaking hilarious lol and so true.

  • very well said- thank you for saying it!

  • well said

  • My problem with Chris Crocker isn't his gender identity... it's his extreme misdirected obsession with britney spears combined with his inflated ego. Idiocy applies to every gender.

  • Not to bring up old stuff, but...

    I'm not bothered by CC's gender identity... it's not even close to what I found humorous about that particular video. What was funny was primarily his hysterical unashamed sob/wail into a camera that was a Touch too long (snot included), amplified by the subject of that hysteria being Britney Spear's embarrassing antics.

    It's Chris Crocker's OTHER videos that I found off-putting because he comes across as arrogant, hateful/vindictive, and insincere.

  • favorited. for many reasons.

    i love how he tries not to laugh when he makes in your pants jokes.

  • i approve this educational presentation

  • I just got four free books in the mail, and all four are hilarious when "in your pants" is added.

    Blugrass Hero In Your Pants

    Lone Star Secret In Your Pants

    Her Perfect Man In Your Pants
