The Case of the Poopy Nintendo

[epiphanygirlsings]

did we ever confirm that the poop did indeed come from red green and not, say, a vengeful younger brother?

[TellerOfUntruths]

Or 4, you inserted the poop into the Nintendo yourself, hoping to get Hank in trouble. HA! >:D

[jcmik]

Hooray for the Mentalist!

[zach6670]

Categorical denial?

More like "Scategorical" denial.

[mark4851]

Option 4. Evil baby Hitler, angry that you kidnapped him, stole a time machine and used it to go back in time and destroy the most important thing from John's childhood as a vile act of revenge.

[thewolffromhell66666]

Hank really blaming the dog thats so childest

[stargleekwhofighter]

"It always works on The Mentalist!" LOVE that show!!!

[webkinzluver141]

I still have no idea what happened to my childhood cat. I don't think I'll ever find out.

[starryhappiness]

I have never laughed so hard at so many poop jokes in my life.

[falltospring]

Was anyone else wondering if that was the same Nintendo?? Because that's the first thing that went through my mind.

[Shellewell]

Or 4, it was you and you are trying to frame Hank!

[Sunflow730]

WAIT...you have a sister!!!! What if she did it?

[TheBuddsO]

@Sunflow730 he doesn't have a sister :)

[HeadInTheClouds1178]

This is the best kind of science.

[27shermanator]

What if you did it in your sleep? o.O

[Thelizzardcat]

@27shermanator I thought the same thing xD. John! Your the culprit!

[27shermanator]

@Thelizzardcat No! You're!!!

[silverx174]

John, you should have closed the shield thingy. Sorry!

[KomodoSerpent]

@silverx174 What if hank lifted it up?

[Christianteen77]

maybe you were sleep walking

or it was your evil twin brother

or evil twin cousin twice removed -_-

[FindGin]

Or (4) You did it in your sleep and don't remember it.

[CharmedSlayerr]

This reminds me of the Occupy Wallstreet guy who crapped on a cop car. I don't know why

[YouMyWifeNowDave]

heh heh...poop.

[GrayStudios]

As someone with a dog, I can tell you that they do intentionally poop on things. My dog managed to poop DIRECTLY onto a power strip with important things plugged into it, and several other things too specific to be an accident.

[AkemixMiyano]

i want that japanese book...do you know the title so i can find it?

[thegirlofthelibrary]

john we need invite some vets and poop professional people to get this straight. the one who did it must be punished. dont give up.

[nintendoshadowninja]

john you for got option 4! someone in your family sleepwalks on occasion. 

[PirateJeans]

I love that someone on the internet has put up the number of degrees at which dogs poop.

[Yahshuaismylamp]

Bgosh! I POOPED IN THE NINTENDO SHEESH OKAY?!

[arjunbabboo]

4: You personally left the poop in the Nintendo then proceeded to blame Hank. Your subconscious wanted the lie to be true so it "believed" the lie was true( this phenomenon happens more than suspected) and then to this day, you believe in a lie you told everyone including yourself.

[Tahonamaya]

4. You sleepwalked and inserted the poop yourself.

5. Hank sleepwalked and inserted the poop.

(I swear this is the strangest comment I have ever left)

[EaKirstine]

Henry is going to grow up and be so proud of his daddy when he sees this video!

[bluidemenace1]

Look, even though dogs have very small brains, they can be extremely smart. My small miniature labradoodle Little Bear (don't judge) will bark at night if the doors are unlocked or an outside light is left on, even if she is in her crate and totally unable to see outside of a 2-foot radius. Also, she is a devious little b**** when it comes to excreting in odd places.

[Mrweegeeman1]

Thumbs up if you searched "poopy"

[BillyAndJoshBrothers]

ill go call CSI miami!! they'll know what to do!

[YouseiGaMieru]

Red Green just totally reminds me of Pokémon. Red being the protagonist and Green being the rival. Which makes Red Green a totally awesome name.

[singlexfilexisxlove]

"Spit shield at the salad bar to any potential poop attacks."

Okay, John... :)

[paulalane100]

Maybe your dog was criticizing your choices of games. Haha!

[1037478]

I mean science class

[1037478]

Wow, you made a funny story sound like math class, then a interrogation

[jijbentleuker]

I was so excited about the title of this video that I literally screamed it out in a voice that is a few octaves higher pitches than normally ^^

[NegiAbhay98]

maybe you're lying john.

[ADDawning]

Will this ever end?

[imTKable]

you should make the pic at 0:09 a t shirt!

[3mmaDilemma]

wow i've been saying "dachshund" wrong my whole life.

[Czubachowskii]

I NEED THAT PICTURE.

[07Z06ss]

lol at this being an issue 20 years later rofl

[FXHoax]

Or four... You did it so you could get a new games system.

[DrAlexandrius]

and this was the mystery of who put the poop in the nintendo!

[TheVeggieMonstah]

"I DID NOT PUT POOP IN THE NINTENDO!"

[MagicLlama1899]

My dog once pooped on my homework, and the next day i had to tell my teacher what had happened. It was crappy to say the least.

[Kiyenne]

I'm not saying it was you, I'm just saying It wasnt mom, it wasnt dad it wasnt me

xDDD

i was laughing all through this.

[Exayevie]

Is it wrong to love the fact that this is still an issue 20-odd years later?

[mmmmmheyyyy]

"That always works on The Mentalist!"

That, John, is one of my many mottoes of life.

[kelseystevenson1992]

john green watches the mentalist. i KNEW that show was one of the awesomest on television.

[Zontafer]

"It wasn't me" How do we know you don't sleep walk?

[vazette]

This is so, so nerdy, I mean most brothers would just, like, punch each other or something

THIS IS WHY I'M A NERDFIGHTER

[ultimatenerd22]

is it weird that i have a nintendo entertainment system even though it's older than me?

[jack16895]

dachshunds are actually one of the smarter breeds of dogs.

[MrDemiGlaze]

poopylogin dotcom

[marshmellowpoof]

hahah projectile poop

[accioboooks]

How did you get the poop out of the nintendo?!

[missburn]

@accioboooks I think we all are waiting for that answer - graphically!

[ManTheBush]

If you feed a dog a can of beans it will be able to poop in anything and everything, and when I hear Red Greed All I can think of is Duct Tape.

[Porty1119]

When you combine the colors red and green, you get brown. Coincidence, anyone?

[MadeofAwesome4ever]

"Spitshield"? I think you mean "sh*tshield"!

[kabo3lives]

@MadeofAwesome4ever One would hope you wouldn't need a sh*tshield at a salad bar.

[greengirllover]

... I totally think Hank did it. Sorry, Hank lol.

[karmacop911]

maybe you did it to frame your brother and this is all part of an elaborate and sick hoax

[KrustyFrank27]

THE DATE IS JULY 2ND! GET IT RIGHT!

[soyinfinita]

Whoa! a copy of Looking for Alaska in Japanese? Awesome!!!! :D *want*

[N00bizme]

Dude,if it's yellow let it mellow.

[mattyrc100]

Or possibility 4 you are a sleep pooper and pooped in your own nintendo

[xtMitchellx]

167 pooped in the nintendo

[SSdetectiveagency]

lol I was thinkin of red green the canadian tv show star

[esstargazer]

There is a show named Red Green. 

[TheSarahSideofThings]

Are you sure you didn't just sleepwalk and poop into your own Nintendo?

[thementalteen]

This video is just simply awesome

[thehelpfullhint]

i luv the menatalist... go JANE!!!

[bcgtiger]

@laurie524 My bad for fast typing you grammar nazi.

[technicolorzombies]

This video was absolutely hilarious.

[coffeychild87]

This may have been the SINGLE BEST YouTube video that I've ever seen.

[bcgtiger]

your good.

[SpanishCrackaPino]

Let RedGreen rest in peace!

[JesterC88]

I'm not saying that person is you Hank, I'm just saying, it wasn't mom, it wasn't dad, it wasn't me, and there is no one else in our family. And on that note Hank, I'll see you on Friday.

[CANeverCA]

um do hank and john i think?? do they not like each other (sorry new 2 vlog brothers)

[MoodySpark]

I think someone in you're family is definitely lying to you John!

I think it might be your dad seeing as he was laughing. you might need to ask him again.

But theres the most important question does your nintendo still work? =)

[Stilluneek]

LOL @ If you assume an anal height of 3 inches!

[Ziphorax]

"we all know dogs poop at an angle"

0.o i would not classify that as common knowledge

[ItsEasierToFallApart]

I love your use of the word projectile poop XD

[ponellope]

Just one question...who the F is Hank?

[alwayz0me0never0you0]

@ponellope

Hank is the other brother who uploads video's on this channel.

[WordNerd98]

@ponellope Hank is John's brother. John is the one in the video. Hank and John are the Vlog Brothers.

[otis606]

I never denied it! I am a suspect!

[funzigal]

I didn't know you could use willgraysonwillgrayson to fight crime!

[childofreletivity]

i know who did it ur grandma with bowel troubles

[EmShizzo]

I have a miniature dachshund and, he is a lot keener than you give him credit for. Trust me. They are devious little dogs.

[silkentwilight11]

i like a lot of you guys' work, but this is just dumb

[AWolfsMoon]

lol :) my cat crapped on the inside of my math book once (But Im pretty sure I closed it so...) Oh, cool team zombie pic x)

[xxxmax1026xxx]

he couldnt have put it in there be cause from the angle of the dogs back pooping and it depends on how big the poop is it could have piled over and went into the NES sooo... HAAAAA!!! didnt think about that now did you ! and im in the 6th grade

[llawlrus]

Maybe Hank pooped in the Nintendo! :o

[Wactownsk8r]

You have got to wonder what this dog's motive was to drive him to make poopy in the nintendo... have you been playing too much of this nintendo? maybe he just wants some attention. He has his wish.

[anime250angel]

hahaha I spy your book paper towns in that stack XD I love that book so much fyi!!! XD

[Paigey2214]

Did you guys know there was a show about an old guy named Red Green. :]

[omena1233]

why ur account name is vlogbrothers?

[G3snowman]

maybe the nintendo pooped inside itself

[NostaligicBlackFrost]

@G3snowman ouch....I just pooped inside myself.

[seragreen]

the curious incident of the dog in nighttime

[TwiVideos]

My dog ( A Beagle ) poops in flower potts..( which is a foot off of the ground ) And my cats litter box.. So, Its amazing where and how a dog can poopy.

[112010Chris]

haha, that's incredible, your dogs got skills!

[c5hw4]

The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?

 Are you suggesting poop migrates?

Not at all, it could be carried.

What? A dachshund carrying poop?

It could grip it by the curves.

It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios.

[k3nnyinab0x]

Maybe if you remeber how the poop looked in the Nintnedo, it'd make more sense if it was a projectile poop or not.

[scrpity]

Red Green did NOT DO IT!!

[MrYourmom569]

Hank is the master of mischief

[xXPointBreak]

U remind me of the illuminati actor from the movie "Angles and Demons"

[uber0demon0tongue]

*complete smiles* Horrendously entertaining.

[sweetypie474]

why was the dogs name "Red Green"?

[vlogbrothers]

@sweetypie474 Well, 1. our last name is Green, and 2. the dog was red, and 3. we got him for Christmas. -John

[EricsTechTalk]

@vlogbrothers Aw, I thought it referred to the fact that all dogs are Red/Green colorblind.

[akoni2000]

@vlogbrothers i went to the comments to find the answer to this. first post and i have my answer. my first thought was "it's a geek nod to blue's clues", but i was wrong =(

[haleythedinosaur]

@vlogbrothers that is fantastic reasoning for dog naming.

[saunjuan2]

@vlogbrothers thats just creative

[lolweirdness]

@vlogbrothers that is unbelievably clever name much more than my dogs.. Magnus

[bamabound97]

@sweetypie474 Well Red and Green are the colors of Christmas, they could have gotten it for Christmas

[scruffums393]

@sweetypie474 Lolz. Theres a comedian named Red Green

[kawsydaisy]

RedGreen is kinda a...weird name for a dog.

[TheMcRaeBrothers]

perhaps if the dog had diarrhea ...just saying

[HandaCarr]

I think the dog did it, because you say you left the flap open. While Hank could've just opened the flap any night and put poop in it, the dog pooped in it the one night you left it open (unless your brother is very clever and knew this [which he probably did])

[Vividveggie]

How quickly John forgets about the numerous secret siblings.

[IMiPodTouchy]

This is my fave vlogbrothers video! I lol every time I watch it!

[Rottikins]

Dogs will poop on things that are high up off the ground, usually to mark their territory. Wolves in the wild will poop on stumps and stones to make it easily seen. So maybe your dog was just marking his territory, pooping on something higher up off the ground. <D

[Niggs3000]

poop is a liquid. it could totally get in the nintendo at the angle of attack. or maybe it WAS the projectile poop... you know...since the only logical answer.

[rcnrcn927]

Was the Nintendo on the floor?

[TheZombieGrunt]

2:15  If it's slimy, it might...

[bubbles7pjc]

i can't believe you dragged this on john...

[ShortyPenguin]

What is it about dogs and game systems? My brothers' old Super NES got peed on by one or both of our family dogs while we were at school. ><

[MsMelonater]

Disgusting!!

[abumaram200]

eew!



[kiprusoff]

I believe Hank is Innocent, but if he did do it he probably did it in revenge for everybody putting poop in his pants.

[criseen]

Mabye you should use that old time machine from the evil baby orphanage to go back in time to either find out who inserted the poop in the nintendo or to stop Red Green from pooping in the nintendo

[mike5368]

IT WAS ME!!! AND ILL DO IT AGAIN

[BornInThe852]

Sherlock Holmes doesn't hold a candle to the detective skills of John Green

[appeasedsouls]

1 - Red pooped in the nintendo

2 - A home invader invaded your home, inserted poop into the nintendo, and then left

3 - Someone in your family is lying to you...

4 - I had some trouble with the video game Ninja Turtles earlier that evening, and my subconcious waged war on the Nintendo by causing me to sleep-walk the poop into my OWN Nintendo!

[yuruka96]

lol, i love how you've got a japanese copy of looking for alaska in that pile :B

anyway, i think red green really did it. you don't know with dogs - they are odd creatures. they will eff you up.

[TheSilverwolfman]

Ever see the movie Cats and Dogs? It's all very obvious that the cats decided to put Red Green's poop inside the nintendo so you can kick Red Green out. Then they can be their evil selves without worrying of dogs!!!

[FrenziedFlame]

potential poop attacks

[sabgiguere]

You had a dog names Red Green? That was not a random video at all... =)

[BakaChocoSensei]

HA ha ha ha, this is so WEIRD! Three months ago, I found the book Paper Towns in my school library and I thought it looked stupid. THEN I decided to read it anyway and one of the best books I read in a while. Then the next thing I know, I find an awesome video about poop AND Nintendo!! This is just TOO weird ... or AWESOME!!!! XD

[LoserJinxedAndJaded]

You forgot option four. In the fits of an odd and forgotten dream, you, John Green, stood in your sleep, collected your dog's fecal waste residing on your living room floor, and deposited it in your own Nintendo.

[plasterdbastard]

This was an awesome random video that I stumbled on...

[nick061994]

HUZZAH! hank is guilty, proven by way of science. FACT! >:D

[jimmytimtom]

Isn't it pronounced Dash Hound

[secretofcaroline5]

I love how you named your dog "Red-Green"

Whats the reason for that?

[AnnaCecilleMoorman]

@secretofcaroline5

There's a Canadian show about a funny handyman named "Red Green," who fixes things primarily with duct tape. Hank and John probably watched it in the early 90s on PBS when they were kids. I did. : )

[OneLittleTuber]

My guess is that there is a dog named Redgreen somewhere laughing his 5 inch high ass off!!!

[stormtroper680]

or option 4 john could be a sleepwalker that has a deification/mischief fetish 

[beckoneko]

What if one of the people in your house (including you) were sleepwalking that night, and placed the poop in the Nintendo while asleep. It technically isn't lying if the person never recognized doing it in the first place. And people have done crazier things while sleep walking.

[theyellowyoshi]

Why can't we have questions like this as word problems in school? "Given the average anus height of a dachshund and the angle of pooping, calculate the likelihood that one would be able to poop inside a NES." We need to know these things!

[IreneAdlerCrazy]

@theyellowyoshi Agreed. We DO need to know this! On a separate note, why is it that I was laughing this entire video? I mean, why is poop so inherently funny? Or was it just John Green talking about the average anus hight of a miniature dachshund and the angle of pooping that was so funny? I just think your dog is really talented.

[hyru913]

@theyellowyoshi Best comment ever!

[McMahonGarden]

This is great - this is why I watch. I will never get sick of this argument.

[FremontTiger]

i put red green's poop in your nintendo!! :3

[TeeAreify]

REDGREEN POOPED IN THE 3DO!!!!

[electricmastro]

Did Red Green poop in your Atari 2600 too, oh nevermind, that is way better compared to E.T.

[OMGSEASALT]

It's clear to me someone broke in and put it in the Nintendo

[passghost]

He foreshadowed the role nintendo would play in the console space race. Red Green actually pooped on it so you would prospectively go through nintendos until you reached one that may actually be worth money, instead of poop in a garage sale. So there you have it, Red Green was simply killing two birds with one extruded turtle head. Red Green stop spinning on the rotational computer chair while peeing out your butt.

[shadowzard7]

@passghost well at least nintendo dont, ffl3r0mmdso7:s: kk? owned

[theforeverfalling]

lol, "the ubiquity of red green's poop in the house"

[Pickie2500]

myth busters FTW =) hahahahahaah
