  • hahahahaha 'poporn' X3

  • I'm sorry, Hank. What were you saying? There's a unicorn in the background, did that ever irritate John, I wonder...

  • "It's a simplification of the truth."

    ...but... the truth resists simplicity.

  • Awesome nerdy tattoo artist! The guy who did 1:29 lip-piercing-guy's tattoo misspelled Chi Town as ChiTonw because he was thinking:

    Butterflies have exoskeletons of chiton. w.

  • Scott Pilgrim?

  • Is that a pigmy puff i see?

  • this haircut makes you look like Chuckie's dad from 'The Rugrats'.

  • r those scott pilgrim books on ur shelf? omg one of the best comics ever!!!

  • YOU MISSED OUT PROPREOCEPTION??????

  • @katruffles No he didn't

    1:48

  • @limpy601 Oh. Few!!! I thought he missed it out. I was super worried!

  • can i please tell all you non-chinese people that want to put chinese characters on your body to JUST NOT??? chinese people laugh at you, because pretty much 99% of the time, it looks bad- either it says something ridiculous/non-sensical/google­-translate style, OR, the calligraphy is SO BAD that it is laughable and to chinese people looks like it was written by a 2 year old. and NO, unless you've studied the language extensively you CANNOT tell the difference. TRUST ME.

  • haha 2:52-2:58 is seriously some of the funniest Hank that I've seen in a lloooooong time!!

  • At the beginning when he said "Oh, it's a poster" in his funny voice, I was only half paying attention and I thought he said, "Oh, it's a toaster" and I was wondering why he had a toaster in his video...

  • How does someone become a Nerdfighter?

  • @baronlableu you are a nerdfighter if you want to be a nerdfighter

  • i just only just saw the think geek monkey sticker on your bookshelf

    

  • GLaDOS POTATO!!! LOVE

  • Ahhhhhh! A THINKGEEK MONKEY STICKER ON HIS SHELF! Score!

  • I'm just staring at the GLaDOS potato & the scott pilgrim comics behind you...

  • lol experience our selves sounds like a masturbation joke.

  • OK I just replayed the first 2 seconds about 10 times..... O_o

  • Technically, a shark couldn't live in a lake so...the whole movie was a fail from the beginning.

  • @Musiclover1494 Okay, being nerdy but TECHNICALLY the bull shark can because it can do something extremely complicated about the salt levels in its body and I am not scientifically proficient enough to explain it well.

  • @MusicChick015 Isn`t the Vlogbrothers about being nerdy? :)

  • @Musiclover1494 A shark can........

  • @Musiclover1494 There actually is a species of freshwater shark...I think only the one species that lives in a very specific place, but they do exist.

  • Hank. Hank. That poster makes you look like Dave Strider.

  • i liked his hair better long

  • My dad got a tattoo that was my name, my mother's name, and my sister's name (Emily) as a crossword puzzle. Only instead of Emily it said Eeily. Many faces were palmed that day.

  • Comment removed

  • how does John feel about you having a pet unicorn???? ~.^

  • thank you hank for helping john write the most beutiful book ive ever read im a 12 year old boy and it made me cry at the end i hope thts normal but i would just like to thank you for it

  • does the unicorn in the background have a name?

  • I said the same thing about that stupid shark movie and my entire family tried to explain to me how I was wrong -.-

  • @stillasp I don't think so. Touch requires physical contact whereas with hunger, you get a "sensation" or something, I'm not sure. But I'm pretty sure hunger and equilibrium aren't a part of the sense of touch.

  • @TheTARDISCatcher But he did talk about bad movies (the shark one) and posters (at the beginning).

  • @KashMoneh0319 It's grammar... not grammer :)

  • vondel swaine (spelling?) did the nermiarmie flag as well!!!

  • i watched the beginning of this video 30 times

  • Pages of a book last longer than ink of someones skin.

  • Where can I get a potato GLaDOS???

  • @tipomartins A friend of a friend of my is the nerdfighter who sent it to him.

  • Woah. You had a Tobuscus voice there for a second. I approve. xD

  • My dad recently almost created a paradox. He was testing if our new phone was working and called home on his cellphone. He was right next to the answering phone. He then said hello, and the audio was recorded by the answering machine. That sound was picked up by my dad's phone, then sent to the home phone again then picked up by his phone, and it kept going. When he said a new word, the two words merged together and continued the pattern. My brain hurts a little now. Thank the lord he hung up.

  • @KittyMariChan Sorry dude, but it's interference, not a paradox. It's a similar situation to brining a microphone close to a speaker. You hear a loud noise as the sound builds up and starts layering on top of itself.

  • @KittyMariChan That's not a paradox that's called feedback.

    

  • @darkclown443 Sorry, I should have known.

  • DFTBA...........Isn't that enough to win me a poster with my favourite phrase on it???

  • @ZombieCupcakes1 yes yes it is

  • Why did your title claim to talk about posters and bad movies at the same time, but you did not?

  • You didn't at

  • In the end, the beginning is simply the prelude to an even greater adventure.

  • Giraffes have no vocal cords!

  • 0:22 , my dog looked at my computer all tilty-headed-confused-doggy like.

  • Wait... How come, if John thinks the Oxford comma is necessary, you don't use it? Bad Hank!

  • it's even funnier with the audio transcriptions on. LOL try it

  • I always feel intimidated to write a comment on one your videos because I think someone will try to correct my grammer. *reads comment to check for grammer*

  • Hank I read your blog post, the thing that confused me most about it is the fact that you. Hank Green. You... HAVE NEVER SEEN Qi ?!?! WHAAAAT!?!?

  • Am I the only one who watch 0:00 to 0:28 repeatedly? XD

  • Wait. Why is there a shark in a LAKE?

  • @TheAnimationAntics

    A bull shark can live in fresh water.

  • Comment removed

  • ...What happened to "My hair looks really good. I look like that guy from Dollhouse."?

  • Isn't sensing yourself(like hunger and equilibrium)apart of the sense of touch?

  • IS THAT A GLaDOS POTATO ON THE BOOKSHELF?!

  • @ZombieCupcakes1 Exactly what I was about to comment :P

  • @ZombieCupcakes1 The cake is a lie.

  • i don't think the popcorn one was a typo...just saying

  • I want posters.

  • pony

    

  • when you said the thing about posters being shipped in tubes I laughed so hard, I fell off my chair XD

  • there's a unicorn at the back.

  • If it makes you feel better, I think your haircut looks stupid.

  • POPORN!

  • oh Hank, you needn't worry! we'll like the same whether you have the hair of Edward Cullen or are as bald as an egg =) incidently, i was impressed by that bit of movie magic ;)

  • Guys there's a brand new nerd fighter twitter, they seem really awesome there from the UK and called Nerd_Fighter they want people to send them videos dancing to chameleon circuit for a video they want to put together go help them guys :) x

  • @AlwaysPotterFan Actually. That is totally doable. Our university's swing dance society is filled with Doctor Who nerds. I'm sure we could figure out something to one of Chameleon Circuit's song.

  • @Direness that would be incredible :) If you have a twitter account DM them but if not i can talk them! They are so happy seriously and they said thank you :)

  • Thermoception.

  • Uhh... but Hank; the sense of hunger, equilibrium, and kinesthesia (the sense of where your body parts are) are located in the head...

    Equilibrium and kinesthesia are a part of the vestibular system, which is entirely in your head (your ear)

    Hunger is the closest to something that isn't in the head, but the actual sensation plus the hunger pangs come from the release of hormones from the hypothalamus (which is in the brain)

    :-/

  • The reason people in bad scary movies make all the wrong choices is because it is what we want to see in scary movies. In real life if we go near a dark alley we know not to turn down that alley, but somewhere in our mind we wonder what would happen if we did. Its scary and dangerous so we don't but when we watch scary movies and they make those bad decisions, that little part of our brain smiles as it sees the scary or gruesome after math.

  • does anyone know/have a rough estimation of how large the nerdfighter community is?

  • @welaughindoors91 Well, the channel has 570k subscribers. That should be quite a good estimate.

  • just ordered a keep calm and dftba poster cant wait to put it up in my living room!

  • Hey guys! Help me cure my incurable boredom by checking out some of my sketches and rants found on my channel :D x Like/Comment/Subscribe whatever :P x

  • Comment removed

  • John, hank, could one of you elaborate on love? what does it mean, how does it feel, how are you sure its real?

    

  • @ohno Ill answer that right now. Love is unique to every person, so it's impossible to describe and there's no such thing as fake love. if you love someone, you love them. That's not a never will be fake

  • @ohno and**

  • im sure i could fit heaps into a tube..

  • Good thing about having a tattoo of the American continent is that you don't have to worry about any typos.

  • I just watched a Charlieissocoollike video where he started talking about all these other senses.

    Funny thing is, I commented and said that he was reminding me of you. Then I saw this...

  • Tattoo typos got me thinking...... what if i purposely got a tattoo on my arm saying, "This is pernament" how awesome would that be? XD

  • @468chuckles hahaha I like that!....and I might have to steal that from you =x

  • @MrTuttleProductions go ahead :P

  • keep pressing 0

  • Small typo my friend has on a tattoo; Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

    It's not bad, but it makes me want to claw that fricken s out of it. IT'S NOT RIGHT!!!

  • fuzzy

  • i got the KEEP CALM AND DFTBA one :D --- Sent From vlogbrothers's AppRats (Facebook App)!

  • Ok... 0:02... what just happened.

  • Aww can we still enter this contest??? :(

  • It gets worse when you stray from the artist native tongue.

    So many bad Hebrew tattoos.

  • Your stubble has an... Interesting growth pattern.

  • That thing about a sentence starting like this and ending like that (change of thought in the middle of sentence) is called an ANAPHORA

  • It's bad that my first thought was 'he looks hotter with his short hair' isn't it?

  • my teacher has the keep calm and dftba poster and is gonna put it in her classroom :)

  • 0:22-0:26 might make a good ringtone.

  • nerdfactor? WHY DON'T I KNOW ABOUT THIS!

  • Ha I thought your poster was the Santander logo in the thumbnaill

  • Oh, I have that keep calm poster.

    It's awesome guys <3

  • Hell yeah I have that t-shirt.

  • Hey, Charlie explained this before.

  • Out of interest, when we buy things off dftba.com and the like, where does the money go? To you guys? Or back into the website? Or somewhere else?

  • @puppysizedelephanter Some of it goes to whomever is selling that particular item, and some goes towards running the website and the office that deals with the stock.

  • I hate simplification of truths.

  • You and John are truly the most awesome people that I had ever witnessed. You two give me so much inspiration in life :)

  • Shark Night was fantastic

    Go see it.

  • hahah I said the same thing about the movie xD

  • YAHOO! ThinkGeek sticker in the corner of the top shelf!

  • I have so much fun just replaying the first 3 seconds... 0_o

  • Dude, Hank. You look HOT with that haircut. I mean, you've always been a good looking man but DAYUM! Good for you, Katherine!

  • What's with the picture that appears on the bookcase halfway through the video?

  • Sense of equilibrium is in your head! Inner ear. Also, love the posters!

  • keep calm and DFTBA is one of the most awesome ever

  • HOLY SHIT!, a portal potato! I NEED 1!

  • it's not complicated it's totally tubular!

  • Hank, my account in Your Pants has been suspended! I don't understand why. D:

  • On the subject of grammatical errors, where's the Oxford Comma in this video's title?!

  • Is hank's head hair going to be the new JB hair? Mass discussions including thousands of people trying to decide: hair before or after?

  • That is exactly what i said about shark night but apparently they are on an island in the lake, that's what someone told me

  • no oxford comma in the title, come on, hank

  • THANK YOU FOR THE OBVIOUS MOVIE THINGER WHATEVER. Shark night does not seem like a good movie because 1. it is a bunch of college students thinking they're 10ft tall and bulletproof (my mom says that) and 2. THERE IS A FUCKING SHARK IN THE WATER WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? let's go swimming.

  • Head to Nerdfighter Paul's new youtube video series: Professor NotOne

  • stop talking so much so i can enjoy your hair.

  • why do they start it like "good morning john" or "good morning hank" i dont get it

  • @cantcatchit Because they're talking to each other...

  • @cantcatchit originally this vlog was just an easy way to keep in tough with each other. they had a pact not to textually communicate with each other so they used videos. they used youtube because they can easily upload videos to each other. when people started watching they continued to make the videos but they address each video to the other brother because that's what they originally made the channel for:) hope that helps

  • That's my new excuse for when i get caught out by my parents: "It wasn't a lie... It was a simplication of the truth."

  • Nerdfactor contest?!?

  • about the shark and the lake i said just the same thing in about just the same time, only in russian:)

  • @YakovDub Me too, in Croatian. :D Nerdfighters think alike! :P

  • So, I've had two nerdfighter encounters in my lifetime. One was an awesome woman who I met at a con (who succeeded in getting Tom Felton to do the Nerdfighter salute but forgot to get a picture), the other was at a lecture and a guy I knew was wearing a Giraffe love t-shirt.

    Both were awesome.

  • your.hair.

  • Do sharks even live in lakes?

  • @jUSThITiGNORE Apparently it's a salt water lake. That's how they're justifying this latest piece of Hollywood nonsense.

  • @jUSThITiGNORE only one kind of shark (as far as my research over the years has implied) can live in completely fresh water: the bull shark. an extremely aggressive species and known human killer, they have testosterone levels at or above 900 whereas the highest a human male can have is around 400. testosterone makes them highly aggressive. however, I think the shark in the movie is supposed to be a great white--they die in freshwater. :/

  • Hank, John...I have a question for you two. Now I've been a Nerdfighter for a bout a year now so I don't know if you have already posted anything on this, but I want to know. What are your opinions on the Westboro Baptist Church?

  • I totally agree with hank on the whole Shark Night 3D topic, Lamest. Plot. Ever. There animals that could kill you if you go in the water. You know this so what do you do? You go in the water. >:/ Thanks Hank for speakin my mind. :)

  • I like your bookshelf. I buy books.... and dont read them. 

  • What is this nerdfactor thing he speaks of?!?

  • I may or may not have made my favorite English teacher a Nerdfighter. Its amazing! I introduced her to John Green and the vlogbrothers and she now saves Hank's Harry Potter songs on her laptop to play to her class! She is officially full of awesome!

  • @hobbitgirl123 Same! Only I made my librarian a Nerdfighter :)

  • Loving the scruff, Hank!

  • I spot a neckbeard!

  • doesn't that beard get scratchy?

  • Hank,If you buy all of the posters at the same time vvorld they be in the same packaging or in there ovvn packaging?

  • Love the haircut! so hot

  • earlier to day i said hanks when i was trying to say thanks

  • Last year, I was hanging out with a girl, and she mentioned being a "giant squid of anger" when something happened. I just looked at her for a moment, and said: "Do you like John Green?" She said: "DFTBA?" And then we became friends.

  • Today at my highschool I found out my librarian is a nerdfighter! :D amazingness!

    now to infiltrate nerdfighteria into the ENTIRE school

    as a nerdy evil genius, I find this to be my duty.

  • I watched this video about five times just so I could see him get happy about those posters <3

  • As a punishment for hank, he should dress up in a bunny costume and pogo stick down the streets of Missoula.

  • wow john this video is reallt gay so much so that i have decieded to jump off a cliff and land in a pool of crocs, so when you read about me tomorrow in the paper you will no why i did this. love tyler

  • @rubberband3456 That's Hank. Please don't die, I'm sure someone loves you.

  • @rubberband3456 Troll alert!!! Troll alert!! Get a life and stop trying to bag on other people's work and effort.

  • @azpa714 sorrt bro i didnt mean to upset you, so if your mad you should go masturbate. I love you man and i want the best for you.

  • @rubberband3456 Aww you Yoututube trolls are so adorable nowadays. I <3 Trolls.
