October 8th: Zombies v. Unicorns

[trevadetrev]

Ponies. That is all.

[wisosder]

Unicorns provide us with material for wand cores =)

[youngliterati]

um, john's kind of looking like the guy from eraserhead.

[bwaynerd2027]

And thus zombicorns was born...

[Mrcouchpotatoehead]

All the worst parts of a horse? Does that mean that the only good part is where the horn goes?

[silverdragon1314]

Okay, I will break into this topic now.

I abhor Zombies. (and Mummies. And Living Skeletons.)

I also really really REALLY dislike the white girly sparkly standard unicorn.

I like Dark Unicorns.

Fire Unicorns. (Okay, really any elemental Unicorn unless the element is "girlyness" or "sparkles" whichjust brings us back to the problem)

Now, I will, however, agree with your last statement there. Zombie Unicorns=AWESOME!!! (dispite, ya know, my hatered for Zombies)

[RonnieRons101]

Zombie unicorns?

Me gusta.

[FurryFerocity]

What about the killer unicorns in Rampant and Ascendant? C'mon, those are pretty awesome

[DesiringFuture]

Zombicorns.

Even though it's not about Unicorns.

[lilly94white]

SHAUN OF THE DEAD will never not be awesome

[ainsley1259]

I am so over zombies. Unicorns are awesome (I'm not even a brony)

[phoenix39]

Zombified Unicorns: Blasphemy!

Okay John, I am so 3 years late, but here's my argument on why unicorns > zombies every time. They aren't just the gay sparkly creatures that pop media portrays them (Same thing with vampires, apparently). That's a very new myth. According to ancient mythology, unicorns were fierce creatures that were not to be messed with! They were said to be BAMF's They were also said to posses healing powers.

Zombies are just less cool, more stupid version of the vampire.

[klaytonrocks]

lol, what do you think about the newly revamped My Little Pony series?

[hmol257]

*shakes head* Just wait till you have a daughter and she's obsessed with unicorns. You're tempting fate.

[northerndarklight7]

The thing about the Puff is, as time goes by, it will go away, and you will miss it when it's gone.

[dftbawolf]

unicorns helped renter a women to her home in anther time and world.

[354lulo]

Way before I became a nerdfighter, my friend and I had a discussion that ended with the question, "if there was a zombie-unicorn would it eat brains and THEN poop rainbows?" ahhh good times

[smurftojohn]

Can't believe last friday I made a similar statement about zombified undead unicorns being ok but not regular unicorns...lol wtf

[oh9ah6]

and thus, Zombicorns was created

[hinatahyuuga120]

it is not the fight of vombies vs. unicorns it must be the fight of a zombie unicorn vs a unicorn zombie

[LMNOP1214]

"They're not technically people." Ohhhhhhhh, God.

[sethwerewolf]

ZOMBIE UNICORNS!!! JUST LEAVE IT THERE!!!

[thehumanfruitsalad]

zombie unicorns

[PrettyLoather]

hahahah, yes! I love your questioning of support for the Republican party!

[josephd183]

Not a brony, John? Sad.

[missfunk21]

How is the horn, the worst part of a rhinoceros? I'd say it's the best part of the rhinoceros, one of it's identifying features.

[dUm8dUm]

Hey! Don't slam unicrons, John. That's just sick. How dare you insult such an enchanting species. Get a vampire and a unicorn: unicron skewers the vampire. Easy kill. It's a done deal, man. Unicorns are eternal. Deal with it.

[chemy999]

I look forward to the day when I can give you a bro-hoof, but for now, prepare the orbital friendship cannon!

[MichealMahem]

screw unicorns 

[jenlaawesome]

unicorns all the way across the sky. do u know how that double rainbow came to be? a unicorn made it

[MoonintheClouds]

I would like to know if John knows that My Little Pony has been revamped

[WayhoRachel]

Hey! I'm a brony!! Don't you talk about MLP that way!!

[MrBobman28]

I play MTG and my second most played deck is zombies....I think that anwsers the question.

[Bluefreak777]

My Little Ponies: Friendship Is Magic, nothing wrong with liking MLP.

[ALLCAPSfan98726]

Speaking of presidential hovv about J.K Rolvving as presanit.I mean hovv avvesome vvorld that be.

[SidneyH27]

The vlogbrothers DEFINITELY should have taken part in the book Zombies Vs. Unicorns. They probably could have, too, considering John knows Scott Westerfeld pretty well. And his wife, Justine Larbalestier (along with Holly Black) organized and edited the book!

[cutelucylulu]

MY BIRTHDAY ;D

[sugarpuff194]

john thats mean to rudy g. voters. Im not saying its untrue, but still its mean.

. .

U

[19ladybug95]

i would rather watch a movie about zombies, but i would much rather meet a unicorn. and i think a zombie would win against a vampire or a werewolf, since the vampire would try to drink the zombies blood or something, and get infected. and the werewolf would try to eat the zombies or something, and get infected. or the zombie would bite them both before they got the chance to get themselves infected. zombies rule. poor, dead, soulless beasts.

[webmaster8040]

zombies riding unicorns

[zombiemeowk]

...I have an unhealthy love of zombie films... I therefore stand true to zombies ...No matter how much Hank and Mikey Way love them, I cannot go for unicorns ._.

[eretrece]

Plural of rhinoceros? Wikipedia says it's rhinoceros or rhinoceroses...

[lemonarizonatea]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE + VLOGBROTHERS VIDEO = DAY MADE

:D

[fluroza]

I love John's face every time he said 'Really!?'

[crazycookie76]

WHAT ABOUT PLANTS VS. ZOMBIES? HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF THAT? I LOVE PLANTS VS. ZOMBIES!

[xaveir14]

AHHHH! JOHN LIKE'S WHITE ZOMBIE!!!!!

*does Nerdfighter Salute, but with one hand doing the devil horns*

[artyfarty1996]

Yes, but werewolves will always rule over everything else. And I don't mean the rubbish Twilight wolves, I mean the full on Remus Lupin, scary, fierce, sexy Werewolves.

[marriyumh]

@artyfarty1996 Yeah but Lupin is such an exception! Not all werewolves are made of that that much awesome! :/

[artyfarty1996]

@marriyumh True, I suppose. But he's one huge exception. Sexy, sexy man; scars, emotional burdens and furry little problems and all.

[klaytonrocks]

@artyfarty1996 "scary, fierce, sexy" I honestly don't see a difference when you put it in those terms. :P Werewolves shouldn't be sexy.

[artyfarty1996]

@klaytonrocks oh but they are.

[Vw3216]

This is arguably my favorite vlogbrothers video.

[fortheluvofme]

Yes! talking about zombies and unicorn on my bday

[dumbledorerox98]

Anyone else think John should have written a part in that Zombies Vs. Unicorns book?

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

@remusrayna substain

--DFTBA

[GildedWildebeest]

Just searched Giuliani on Wikipedia... I agree with all his social policies except that he is against gay marriage... John, Y U NO LIKE RUDY GIULIANI??

[ALLCAPSfan98726]

I am glad to be an unicorn werrior!

[FlargTheKitty]

@ALLCAPSfan98726 warrior.....not werrior.

[horsejumpergurl107]

anybody read rampant by diane peterfreund? that makes me a little less gung-ho for unicorns, bu they're still so much better than zombies.

[vivienkoh]

oh man :--( I reallly like unicorns.

[LOLSipopsyum]

1st comment in like 17h yay

[tiendadelagricultor]

2:31 - 2:36 an then John Read the Twilight series.

[occlumencymaster]

AND SO ZOMBICORNS BEGINS!!!!!

[LiveForDance1011]

so, there's a book out called Zombies vs. Unicorns by Justine Larbalestier & Holly Black... thought I'd let you know. :) I haven't read it, but I think I'm going to.

[Summ4rScott]

ZOMBICORNS

[geometrololi]

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic invalidates your argument John.

[JossyBishop]

Lol Rudy Giuliani

[92rachh]

I would've gone for the vampires in the fight as well, but if we're talking about the twilight douches, i'll have to go for the slow, absent, weak-boned, non-sparkling zombies any day. and i pray to goodness they win. :)

[mirosango14]

unicorns are bringers of justice and defenders of purity. I can easily imagine a unicorn impaling a zombie with his/her wickedly sharp horn, or destroying a zombie using his/her magic. a zombie is easy to enslave and even easier to kill.

[thegreekboyssister]

How can zombies have hard truths if they are not real?

[SuperMrGameGuy]

well, we told you not to vote for Barack, but YOUUUUUU didn't listen...

[xchinasorrowsx]

Dude, a horse would kill you.

[dog9girl]

:35

HE BLINKED!

[Lauraa4023]

Lol

[alarasnowfeather]

Well, you have a point in that unicorns helped Voldemort come back to life. And he's just a glorified zombie.

[OriginalLibbySquib]

why do you hate unicorns so much? (I do as well but I just wanna know you're reasoning)

[danakaDENt]

I am and always will be TEAM NARWHAL

[TheHatOfDestiny]

ZOMBIES

[tmantuok]

I'm sry but.... unicorns FTW

[wntw319]

im actually on the unicorn side

[cherryblossom141]

maybe im ignorant, but i dont particularly understand the attack on rudy giuliani. being mayor of a diverse and unruly city like new york city, in my opinion, is the best job experiance one could have for being president. his handling of 9/11 was flawless. obviously its a moot point at this point, but im still confused.

[TacoSmakker]

If there was a Zombie put up against a Werewolf or a Vampire, I would go with the Zombie. He may be... i don't know how to put it.... "undeadified" but the Werewolf or Vampire would be infected...... OMG ZOMBIE WEREWOLVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TacoSmakker]

@TacoSmakker "Un-undeadified"

[humpbackbear]

The Unicorn vs. Zombies debate is actually about which makes a better LITERARY character, not about which is cooler

[urfaceisausername]

Unicorns are FIERCE.

[mythmanjay]

The Zombicorn is better as a supporting-character ... like Pegasus in "Clash of the Titans" ... Hey! What about a FLYING zombie-unicorn?

[pienkunicorn]

Unicorns are awesome. They can be strong and fierce too. See C.S Lewis's take on a unicorn in the great divorce. He also uses unicorns as fierce fighting beasts in Narnia Chronicles. Unicorn saves the star and the guy from Stardust and as someone noted Unicorn blood kept lord Voldemort alive.

What is wrong with a magestic, horselike beast that basically personifies purity?

And I happen to like glitter and sparklu-ness. Makes me happy

Zombies are just gross and stupid.

[KarinWolfe]

Well... I've got to say that Bruce Coville's Unicorn Chronicles make unicorns a bit less rainbows and glitter and a bit more accomplished and awesome. Go read it. Now. (Plus, the Song of the Wanderer is like me in a nutshell)

[Hollyslide]

Oi! Zombies ar- were people too!

[Shika511]

It may have been quite a few years since I've read it, John, but I'm pretty sure a unicorn played a pivotal role in the final Chronicles of Narnia book. Just sayin. Go unicorns!

[BlackRoseGirl417]

I just finished the book Zombies vs. Unicorns!

[Bamberellala]

I love the Care Bears (and their cousins). Don't even start. Swiftheart Rabbit and I are like BFFs.

[kelseyhm]

Holly Black even wrote a book called Zombies vs. Unicorns :)

[TheSzczczczPANIC]

I love your political questions for the republicans in favor of Mr. New York... AMAZING! Those where my exact questions for my friend who thought they would piss me off if they insisted they were voting for him... grrr...

(go republicans!)

[caliactress95]

Ninjas vs. Pirates.

[carosene]

Watching all these old videos for context for Zombicorns. XD

[rikko338]

You need to read the last battle. Jewel is a vital character. But I sort of see where you're coming from.

[iamemilyrosex]

I actually don't even nkow which side I'm on anymore. I used to be definitely pro-zombie, but after reading Zombies vs. Unicorns, i'm not so sure.. Some of those unicorns were kinda... cool. Like the one that went around killing people who thought he was helping them and helping virgins. XD

Alaya Dawn Johnson's story is my favourite one in the book though. = ]

[LaDecemberEclipse]

Unicorn blood kept Lord Voldemort alive, hence they're better than Zombies.

[shootBeforeIdo]

i would think it was the best parts of a narwhal and the worst parts of... well the rest is just the worst. nuff said

[chinareds54]

Wouldn't zombified unicorns basically be thestrals?

[busybeingbla]

@chinareds54 wow. yes! 

[supergirlihateu]

@chinareds54 Those would be zombified Pegasuses/Pegasi.

[strickerman101]

@chinareds54 unicorns don't fly though

[Nani101]

Robot Unicorn Attack Heavy Metal Edition. Case closed.

[TheGivebeaverachance]

it's not a unicorn..it's a horse with a sword on its head that guards my hopes and dreams!!!!!!

[chemexplosions]

This makes me laugh because early on in the 2008 election cycle I really liked Rudy Giuliani (but later supported Obama). Also I think that John made be dislike unicorns...not that I was ever really a fan...

[potterfanatic8]

I have been to comment this sentence since i started watching B2.0 from the begining ---

"This was on my birthday!!!! Yeaaah"

PS: i side with Unicorns too. the HP types with silver blood :P

[ADayInTheOcean]

Zombified unicorns<3 I'm reading Zombies vs. Unicorns right now ;D Well not right now...But well yeah..

[hello2656]

I actually side with the unicorns on that one!

[tubadame]

This is kinda of funny to watch, slightly funny, and to think Hank was rooting for John Edwards, who cheated on his dying wife. I guess, maybe funny is the wrong word, it's just really sad.

[WeasleyWrock]

If you are what you eat, then Voldemort is a unicorn.

[tristansmells]

Agh for back formations in the plurals of words! Rhinoceros' plural is rhinoceros or rhinoceroses, as it's a Greek ending, not a Latin ending, and Greek nouns don't pluralise with an -i ending! It's the same as with octopus; octopi, although used, is a back formation and a classicist's worst nightmare! Octopus is a GREEK word!

[maniac5231]

...ers. Unicorns number maybe in the thousands, and that's pushing it. Zombies have billions upon billions of people and animals to infect. In a one on one fight, the unicorn would probably win. But as we all know, the zombie horde always wins.....eventually.

[maniac5231]

From a tactical standpoint, I say unicorns. First off, they have speed. Zombies, though they can be fast, cannot outrun a horse. By extension, they can't outrun a unicorn. As for the weapons and defenses of both, zombies can take a lot of punishment, but enough muscle behind a kick with the rear legs of a unicorn could potentially decapitate. Not to mention the fact that the unicorns have a freakin' horn attached to their heads. Stab beats bite, that's just how it is. HOWEVER; zombies have numb

[frankm89]

John, I think you really need to read The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle.

[stargazer5infinity]

There's a book called Zombies vs. Unicorns... 

[singersk8rgirl426]

there were only 28 people in my town (a little under 10,000 people) that voted for Rudy Giuliani, 1 of them was my brother

[Ryangoddard9]

aheam zombies are people 2

[nathan13x]

Pshh zombies obviously! I mean ... What do unicorns even do except stand around looking pretty? Zombies have got the whole terror thing with the brains going for them. Plus, awesome addictive game Zombies vs Plants is awesome!!

[TheLoudOne10]

@vlogbrothers i like zombies even though they eat people! anyways i wanted to tell you that last year my friends and i, who are in orchestra, preformed a song called The Curse of the Rozin Eating Zombies from Outer Space!!!! ...yes it is a real song!

[FrenchieLeToast]

If the craptastic, yet amazing, fantasy movie "Legend" staring Tom Cruise-which I'm almost positive he probably regrets having been in now-has taught me anything, it's that unicorns are important to our society. Also, you shouldn't let stupid princesses look at them because they'll want to touch them and in that lyes madness!

[Roybotica]

Robot Unicorn Attack, anyone? I think this wins. Plus, zombies will eat you at night.

[Elooow]

Unicorns helped Veronica Mars survive. I'm with unicorns. Sorry, John.

[awesomeflyingcamels]

zombies ftw.

[Hammerfy]

Zombies are people too!

[ferngirltlc]

Zombies? Really? Zombies freak me out. Unicorns are fascinating - the history and mythology behind them. And they're not actually horses, if you see a REAL unicorn, instead of those horses with horns glued to their heads.

(I used to love The Last Unicorn movie when I as a kid whereas I saw part of a zombie movie where people were getting hunks of themselves bitten off. I much prefer the old cartoon)

[ChristalClear]

I think they might be more like centaurs, and I have to say I'm with John...

Unicorns (unwillingly) helped Voldemort almost kill Harry!

[VideoCult1]

team unicorn!!!!!

[TwoBeasties]

Three words: Robot Unicorn Attack

[JessieLightyear]

Unicorns is a horse with a sword in it's head that guards my hopes and dreams!!!!

[haonisnotmyname]

ZOMBIFIED UNICORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CrownPrincessSasha]

"which we hav discussed for months in my pants."

[hannaaarrh]

that puff is magnificent.

[cobraat4]

10/8 is my bday =)

[delusionaldiminutive]

This is so awesome! A serious argument about unicorns vs. zombies. YES!!!! Hank liked My Little Ponies? ME TOO!!! Unicorns FTW!

[xbookfreekx]

Zombified-Unicorns FTW!!

[silverlining3365]

aren't all unicorns zombies? i mean seeing as they are all dead....... so wouldnt this mean the feud would be more zombiecorns vs. zombies? i think that would be a more appropriate title. i also just enjoy the name zombiecorns...... or you could go with unizombies?

[artvandelay13]

UNICORNS. The way I see it, there are two reasons to like something: lovability and badassness. Unicorns are obviously more lovable than zombies. Now you might think zombies are more badass, but think about it. Unicorns are basically horses with giant spear-like horns. Horses aren't badass, you say? Yeah, you try wrestling an adult horse and then tell me it's not badass. Stick a lance on that mofo's head, and you've got an adorable, badass, ridable, awesome killing machine. Unicorns pwn zombies.

[DassMorris]

Fun fact: In Yiddish, the word "shmuck" means "d*ck."

[CupofBrianna]

You forgot Unico! He did good stuff :D

[mebedanni]

Im on unicorn Side.

CHAAAAAAAAAAAAARLIE.CHAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAARIE.CHAAAAAAAAAAARLI­E

What?

Were On a bridge Chaaaarlie :D

Charlie The Unicorn FTW

[HockeyHottie23]

oh btw dead snow funny zombie flick

[HockeyHottie23]

check out the movie Legend!!!

awesome unicorn flick

[sazraz]

john im sad...did you read harry potter? unicorns dont always have an easy life...sure they gallop freely round the forbidden forest but people kill them...

sorry to say im on the unicorn side purely because the thought of being a mindeless zombie scares the heck out of me x

[wesleyharney]

There is the puff.

[KidOmniMan]

The hard truths of zombies will always defeat the fanciful lies of unicorns.

[annaslater11]

This gets 8 stars for the questions about Giuliani.

[DeadOverHeels]

Zombies! :D

[keyofawesomefan]

Zombies! lolz

[SammahSaysHi]

I am a zombie.. But I'm still Team Unicorn.

[mzebege]

ZOMBIES :D

[pete275]

Team Unicorn!

[mushugai]

Zombified Unicorns!

[ihangwithslytherins]

ZOMBIES!!!

[slinkiesandpie22]

PUFF :D

[BANGtheDoleDrums]

Horned beasts of suck lol

[megahappypinkskitty]

enbrace your inner unicorn

[megahappypinkskitty]

UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS UNICORNS

think about it angry beast that weigh as much as a horse (because the are kind of horses in a way) charging at you with very very very very very sharp horns vs.slow stupid dead people that you car rip apart do the math and if you consider charlie the unicorn then the angry beast with horns can cause a rip in the fabric of time&space

[trapjohnson]

Unicorns to provide cursed immortality. And questions to Guillani may have been apt, but missed the broader points. That would have been like me picking on the Al Gore or Howard Dean crowd.

[BobThePeanutFairyMan]

hey man ya know at least zompies have a JOKES dance video!

[BobThePeanutFairyMan]

dude rudy giuliani(?) lol is a pious liar that will undo hugs.

[bittersweetjinx]

I found a quote whilst reading poetry that John might like:

"Faith in their hands shall snap in two, And the unicorn evils run them through;"

(From "And Death Shall Have No Dominion" by Dylan Thomas)

No joke. UNICORN EVILS

[iPandaBear]

Zombified unicorns just made me literally do this face :O

That would most definitely be made of awesome.

[JRRT2007]

White Unicorn

Nostalgia

[wolverinepark]

can there be a team narwhal?

[LoveShiaGDSN]

"horned beasts of suck"

XD

I'm Team Zombie because I love Zombie movies. (Shaun of The Dead being one of my favorite). However, I'm not necessarily staunchly against Unicorns.

HEY! I loved Care Bears! You almost just made me switch sides, just because you associated Unicorns with Care Bears. not going to lie. I still know that song...lol.

~Forest of Feelings, Carealot, and Earth are the homes we claim~

[ElleAri94]

what about unicorns that are like vicious? Like the ones in those hardcore fantasy novels, where they aren't kind at all and actually kill people with by stabbing them repeatedly with their horns? Would they be considered better than zombies?

[3ino122]

October eighth is my birthday! inlike 4 days! i'll be 16 woot!

[Darkclover17]

Zombified Unicorns? Really? Are you sure? LOL. Zombies are horrible (honestly it's the god awful groaning they make that freaks me out) but that being said, unicorns definitely are creepy. Think about it, some blindingly white horse with a horn growing out of his head that magically knowns where you are and when they need to show up....OMG It's Edward Cullen as a horse!

[mylovelydame21]

LOL Zombies are gross... Unicorns are pretty. UNICORNS FTW!

[bookwormdaisy]

I loved the questions for Giuliani supporters. Nice. :D

[cayrano]

Aren't unicorns like ... girly?

[RSvidHaven]

rly!?

[GIANTclaaam]

Zombified unicorns!

[HotPiratesWench]

actually i think its more ALL the parts of horses plus perhaps the worst parts of rhinouseri (sp?)

:)

[BriBri897]

unicorns suck... ZOMBIES PWN!

[890Logo]

Guliani questions were awesome.
