The Return of Question Tuesdays

[digdigdigidy]

noooooooooo pirate ftw!!!

[PoisonCupCakes1]

Wait... his favorite song WASN'T by the Mountain Goats?! .... is that really John?

[DoyouwantaJellyBaby]

The guys who wrote Journey 2 owe the puppy sized elephant idea to John Green!!

[OkalRelsDaughter]

THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING WHERE PUPPY-SIZED ELAPHANTS CAME FROM!!!

[Bookwormsociety]

I have those same bookshelves in tan!

[emopunk5959]

I dont think you get use a made up illness. What about synesthesia. anyone? Come on, you get to taste colors and see sounds! As an artist, i think it's pretty fantastic. As a word smith, i think you should too.

[SmilesForMusic]

The beginning of the puppy sized elephant.

[goldensnitch14]

Whats mooning?

[Igo2seekagr8perhaps]

@goldensnitch14 as John said, it is both useless to know, and useless to do. but if you really want to know, basically it involves exposing your, uh, rear end to unsuspecting viewers.

[12moondoggie12]

2008 John's favorite song wasn't by The Mountain Goats?!

[okjenna]

There's a new movie called Journey2: The Mysterious Island, and John, it has puppy-sized elephants. Even in the trailer. As nerdfighters, we must find the location of this so called "island" and make it's puppy-sized elephants our own!

[DylanFreak263]

For a useless piece of trivia, John sure has got a lot of mileage out of the Jean Jacques Rousseau mooning people fact.

[CharmedSlayerr]

So Hank is the Sun, Pluto, and Guam...okay

[rback057]

lol, I was all like, OF COURSE YOU WANT A PUPPY SIZED ELEPH--- oh, that's where the joke started...

jokes.

[VolunteerNerdfighter]

John already has hyperawesometitis.

Or he would, if that were a real thing.

Or it is a real thing, and he has it, but it's so awesome that no one would ever want to cure it, so they pretend it doesn't exist. Yup. Pretty sure that's it.

[Travmann777]

[Ravenclaw797]

so THIS is where puppy-sized elephant came from.

[MightBeAwkward56]

OMG!!!!!!!!! you like Federico García Lorca???????!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are officially my favorite person right now!!!!! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Federico García Lorcaaa!!

[lcarver909]

Federico Garcia Lorca!  I wrote my term paper about him!

[bansribb]

I hope you realise that the fact that Rousseau liked to moon people is possibly the best thing I have learnt today! O.o

[singlexfilexisxlove]

Stop it, that's mean! AW

[HarryPotterIsLife109]

Why do you include 'Who the eff is Hank?' in every question Tuesday?

[freezie656]

@HarryPotterIsLife109 I think because someone actually asks it. I think the responses are funny though. Very clever, at least.

[shewhotalksalot]

@HarryPotterIsLife109 Why not? Hank needs to be explained

[EmoOnTheInside123]

Hank is Pluto! What a winner. =)

[1kn0wl33tsp34k]

pirates have guns.

[Lorenzio77]

IKEA <3

[dolphin64575]

Why?

[bellbell127]

THNAK GOD YOU SAID HARRY POTTER! i was about get really, really sad if you didn't

[SnivelyTheGlamful]

So he's Christian and believes in evolution ... again like me? WE HAVE EVERYTHING IN COMMON!

[TheAninas]

I knew John had mentioned jean jacques rousseau's interest in mooning people in one of his earlier videos.thats why I got it right on truth or fail

I found the video :)

[alicia0950]

Oh, nerd jokes. How I love them.

P.S. I memorized 160 decimals of pi. Just sayin'.

[Thoroughbred17]

Look at the 'puff!' There's... nothing!

[BeyondBirthday826]

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOUR THEORY ON GEORGE LUCAS 1000000%!! damn robots invading peoples bodies and ruining my childhood. >.>

[ashleylikescheetos]

When you said that you wernt that great of a student in high school... it gave me some hope that i can do what i dream... WRITE PROFESSIONALLY.  I do great in english, bit all the other classes are scary! Check out my tumblr nerd fighters! its ashleydominici.tumblr.com

[MsMaddOfficial]

"Where did you buy your background bookcase?"

"At a small, family-owned, furniture store called Ikea."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[catsbutterfly1]

May I show this video in my Freshman Composition classes?

[lolgirl607]

I love nerd jokes!!! They're so jokes!

[mahimadhesi]

Love this intro!

[silverturtle14]

i just realized that no matter where you freeze-frame a video of john's, he still looks awesome/adorable/funny

[g2theIrishPianist]

Thus the puppy sized elephant was born.

... well, the want for one. Evolution still hasn't gotten back to nerdfighteria yet, has it?

[HPwrocks]

i love it when he answers who hank is

[greengirllover]

ummmmmmmm... pie. pumpkin ftw.

[heavyyeahyeah]

10 points for you from spain for having a collection of poems by Lorca

[freakxwithxaxpen]

tecknicly speaking pirates were trained navy officers that were skrewed over by there own government and took to piricy as a way of means and revenge

and ninjas were trained but they were self trained

[ericsimaginaryfriend]

hey u forgot, Meekakitty USED TO BE a model....so yea...i chose her

derp ._.

[CheeseGenius]

If you didn't get the gameboy, teletubby, harry potter or George lucas is written on the back of one of the harry potter books!

Nerd jokes!

[MeSoDontAsk]

Don't worry Hank, I'm not a planet either.

[zeppelinite666]

John, I love you so much, but I'm quite glad that you got new glasses.

Rectangles look better on you. =/

[littlemisspoppiepie]

Haha, that was an awesome nerd joke!

[BeeHermione]

heh. i was alllll trying to google the disease you mentioned, and i couldn't spell it because i couldn't hear it, so then i listened to you say it approximately eight more times and figured out it was "hyperawesometitis," which requires no explanation =D

[xbookfreekx]

"Who would win American Gladiator, Pirates or Ninjas?!"

"Okay, on the one hand we have a bunch of alcoholic peg-legged smokers with scurvy and then on the other hand we have perfectly trained killing machines in excellent physical condition. So Ninjas."

[WhyYesIDoLikePi]

Hahaha peg legged drunks with scurvy vs. ninjas - ya gotta point there!

[madasrabbits06]

is this the first appearance of the puppy sized elephant concept??

[Dmhunt486]

"To better see"... tsk..tsk.. split infinitive.

[nobody2O1]

Haha he's talking about pluto ( NERDFIGHTERS!!!)

[rabbitwho]

symbolism and other "English stuff" that's awesome.

[TheNatTran]

Which means you think all supermodels are equally great.

[eragonlover1]

Dear Charles Darwin,

I know we've had correspondence in the past, and I haven't written in awhile, so I'm sorry about that. Since John's letter to Evolution hasn't worked yet, I thought I'd write to you. Since you and natural selection seem to be good friends (or at least on friendly terms), can you get natural selection to make us some puppy sized elephants?

[chipotleenthusiast]

Fairly new nerdfighter. fairly positive we have a lot in common. i love frederico garcia lorca and i asked for that specific book for christmas. did i get it? no. why? because i haven't bought it for myself on amazon yet. but it will be done. after i get back from india. sorry about the crappy capitalization.

[HighKingTurgon]

My favourite thing about Jean-Jaques Rousseau is the fact that he found babies repugnant and wrote an incredulous treatise as to why anybody likes them. This is timely, considering the imminent arrival of the yetibaby. Actually, I just realised that I've got two different Advents going. One is spiritual, and the other means that my friend is having a baby.

[LoveShiaGDSN]

"In Highschool I wasn't a very good student"

that gives me hope that I didn't screw up any chance I had of possibly becoming a published author.

"he had a dream and it shot him"

-MLK

-Abraham Lincoln

-John Lennon <3

etc

"who the eff is Hank?"

xD

[LoveShiaGDSN]

*Jr.

[posthumorously]

I completely agree with you. About everything! But especially about George Lucas and reading being the best way to learn to write. :)

[Afrella]

i feel like ive heard this puppy sized elephant thing before.........

[nerdboy32121]

The start of the Puppy Sized Elephant! :D

[wbrown633]

i know!!! and we have a pirates vs. ninjas battle, AND the only who is hank question where the answer isn't a gasious sphere, or something like that

[LINDSEYrocksallsocks]

for some reason i had a feeling your bookshelf was from ikea

[BrutticusForce]

why do people not know who hank is?

[angrysocks]

hank is... pluto?

[RighteousMoses]

Nerd jokes, nerd jokes!

You wanna know something really jokes?

My birthday is on national pi day!

Does that make me like, a MEGA-nerdfighter or something?!

[WhyYesIDoLikePi]

@RighteousMoses Nope just REALLY lucky! (both to be awesome[=nerd] and to have the day!)

[claudis192]

PiCake is awesome it taste great but it only =3.141592653589793238462643383­279502884197169399375105820974­944592307816406286208998628034­825342117067982148086513282306­647093844609550582231725359408­128481117450284102701938521105­559644622948954930381964428810­975665933446128475648233786783­165271201909456485669234603486­1045432664821 calories give or take an infinite number of decimals. Hehe RWJ reference in there some place :D

[zeppelinite666]

@RighteousMoses So is my best friends. March 14th, YO!!! :D

[EndlessFusionist]

@RighteousMoses Mine is too yay!

[WorldOfPsych]

@RighteousMoses My birthday is on Lily Potter's birthday. That's less awesome, though. =D

[itsjustthatawsome]

@RighteousMoses My birthday is "weed day". It's also Hitler's birthday...

[birdyblair]

@RighteousMoses yup =D yeah !!!!!

[mugglecastfan223]

Google, define: Hank

A nickname; originally a shortened form of Hankin (a medieval form of John), but now only found in the United States as a pet form of Henry

just..wow.

[Toastisntsquare]

Definitions of hank on the Web: * a coil of rope or wool or yarn

[wbrown633]

i luv his answers to "whos hank" and "would u like to have a puppy sized elephant or elephant sized puppy"

[MoreBufferThanYou]

are you gay?

[bluethrush]

Nah, he has a wife, according to Wikipedia. (and we all know how incredibly reliable that is!)

[MoreBufferThanYou]

i know im was being sarcastic :p

[bluethrush]

Oh. :p sorry!

[MoreBufferThanYou]

dont be sorry its k

[xxBlueLoverxx]

Actually he DOES have a wife. He always calls her 'The Yeti' due to the fact that he has a shirt that reads 'My Wife Is A Yeti'.

[PancakerBananaHairy]

actually John calls her the yeti because she does not want to be seen on camera.

[xxBlueLoverxx]

The joke started when he got the shirt and the joke spawned from watching nerdfighters. I has just increased in hilarity because she does not want to be seen on camera. It is like this super awesome nerd thing.

[maguireandnina]

actually, john calls his wife the yeti because she does not wish to be seen in videos.

[HideAndGoGeek]

i love huck finn <3

[greatgamer1014]

i had to do a college project on Jean-Jacques Rousseau for my childcare course as well as being a political philosopher he was also a rather unknown childcare theorist lol (i found barely any info relating to children lol)

[vampgirl2292]

who's your favorite average person?

[sonomafiosa]

You need to start a reform school for non-nerdfighter males and teach them to become decent people, so that when they get asked who their favorite model is, they will give the same answer you just did, which was entirely made of awesome.

[logician15]

It was indeed a fantastic answer, but unfortunately by the rules of logic, the answer also means that they're all tied for first place. But nerdfighteria and awesomeness easily beat out logic/reality, so it's all ok.

[yoshigirl7]

dear vlog brothers i am a 10 soon to be eleven nerd fighter i love your show am i wierd!!!

[Keira13]

Hank is Pluto?

...makes sense...

[pepporonipie87]

FEATURED!!

ZALES.

[ThatNerdfighter]

collective poems of Federico Garcia Lora ... in your pants!

[thecoolone42]

comment 3 question tuesday is back? Awsome!

[katharinethequene]

"Well you only named one thing that is an actual real living person so obviously I'm gonna have to say Harry Potter!"

[vcav22]

YES!

[johnnydepppirates]

haha.

"Well you only named one thing that is an actual real living person so obviously I'm gonna have to say Harry Potter!"

I love this response EVERY time I hear it.. which is actually quite often.

[vcav22]

me too ;p

[Fralmunk]

I think John really likes coming up with funny answers to "Who the F is Hank??" XDDD

[cookie4monster4]

John is so very creative when it comes to describing this "Hank" that's always brought up.

[hinakiba777]

There is an episode of Master of Science Fiction where there is a puppy sized elephant.

[willspear1564]

Garcia Lorca...uh... *At five in the afternoon* :(

By the way, pirates won when pirates and ninjas fought in the sea of japan. :)

[tvsuicide4]

I got a better randomized fact surprisingly...

there was a very famous poet during the humanist/reisance period in Italy, who got so drunk, he thought he could go out into the water of a nearby river and hug the moon... But he drowned while reaching it.

If I remember his name, you'll be the first to know XD

[125themajjixmaaan]

evolutionist

[mooseythejuiceman]

Dear Peter Parker,

What's up with the "I'm on the left" and "Now, I'm on the right" thing? It's quite dizzing to watch. Are there two of you and you keep swapping the cameraman duties?

[cookie4monster4]

Obviously!

[senorsqueakydesk]

lol at the nerd joke

[vcav22]

harry potter is awesome,and completely more real than the robot teletubbies and goerge lucas.

[lostinthoughts89]

Puppy-sized elephants!?! That would be the most made of awesome thing ever. I'm shocked a nerdfighter hasn't created it yet.

And I love all the "who is Hank?" questions, but I love John's answers more haha. I had no idea Hank was another name for Pluto

[LeeseyMoe]

Aww...poor Pluto...just something orbiting out there in the distance! Well, at least we still have Hank!

[BrItTaNeEe]

Ha ha I always love your different definitions of Hank =) I love it !!

[scramer95]

Is the Yeti ever angry at all of the commenters you see on your videos that say, "I love you"?

[kylieBBQ]

I really don't understand the Weight Watchers.

John is really cute and NOT overweight.

:[

[jack16895]

@kylieBBQ how is john overweight?

[kylieBBQ]

@jack16895

uhhhh. well I said "NOT overwieght" so I ask the same thing. but I would guess that he means technically overwieght - according to BMI or something like that - and not how someone might think "overweight" would look.

[pmaxson4928]

i want to have hyperawesometitus!

[DittoFreak]

Comment 257:

"how's youre diet going? are you still on Weight Watchers?"

lol

aww poor John I feel your pain.

[DanceDanceLaForge]

THAT*****

[DanceDanceLaForge]

"Who's your favorite supermodel?"

"Frankly, they're all tied for last place"

That's makes my nerdfighter heart SWELL with happiness.

[jaredsyay]

You know what be freaky if someone discoverd a puppy sized elephant

[DirectrissKat]

i read your book about Katherines! Before i knew you had a youtube and I'm obsessed with youtube!

[iseeddppl]

can u show as a photo with u and hank together???

[LoserJinxedAndJaded]

Have you head of Maximum Ride? Has Hank heard of Maximum Ride?

[14hp1]

OH! Maximum Ride is awesome! :)

[shortiecanbrawl]

Do you like the book the mysterious stranger by mark twain?

[tovadaq]

Not really a QT-question, but you can take it:

You two confuse me with all the activity and ADHD-action. Does Hank answer questions, or just sing songs? How can I keep videos of you apart? (ok, that was two questions. You pick)

[INlineSk8TerGuy]

how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?????

[tovadaq]

Isn't that supposed to be "how much wood WOULD a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"?

[15thavenueboys]

Who isn't hank?

[DJWidget]

Yeah. Ninjas win American Gladiators obviously. It all about agility and constant movement and junk like that. But pirates don't need to win a bad television to take the win category.

[Director705]

Too bad a nerdfighter can't direct the movie. :(

And too bad nerdfighter shows up as a typo, we need to get that fixed.

Ninja's would win in a fight, but I'd rather be a pirate, they seem to live more fun lives, I mean, I wouldn't be a dirty pirate that kills, but sailing on the open sea, having a good time, or sitting in a dojo learning patience.

Hmmmmm.

[espifreak]

In 98% of my daily life, mooning is essential.

[Blue421]

"Uhm, hyperawesometitis"

Amazing.

I was so surprised that you didn't add "In my pants" after showing us that book.

[EmzyLovesRussell]

hyperawesometitis....love it!

I too would like to have a puppy sized elephant :)

[XBasketCase1039X]

Do you realize you've answered the "Cookie Dough vs Cake Batter" question at least twice?

[BathtubWanderer]

haha. hank is so many different things.

[fenster666]

I know that there are 31557600 seconds in a year.

[hiddendreamer1991]

frankly, they're all in last place

you're fantastic john

[JoBros4eva96]

i want a puppy sized elephant!!!

[JBluver994]

NOW MAKE ME A PUPPY SIZED ELEPHANTS! Lol!

*GASP* JOHN! YOU DIDN'T SAY IN MY PANTS WHEN PRESENTING THAT WHITE BOOK!

[shaylybri]

I LOVE FREDERICO GARCIA LORCA!!!!

[AlbinoChocolateMufin]

but...ur called a celebraty....i misspelled that?

[littlekitty1793]

yes, muffin person, you would be correct in saying you misspelled "celebrity"

[nodarp]

Seriously, the bit about your diet makes me laugh so hard.

You're my hero John Green.

[SirOtto42]

Nerd jokes are the best kind:)

[jamba66]

John, you are still awesome, even after the end of the most awesome project ever.

[godofwar2master]

What is your absolute favorite book ever?

[IfMemoryServes368]

"Hey riddle, I hope you like typos, because you've just been pwned"

ahaha. Classic.

Also, the puppy-sized elephant part was hilarious.

[alecscar07]

i love question tuesdays

[dude33369]

lmfao, elephant roar

[orangesho13es]

I just watched 2 question Tuesday videos in a row . . . and John, you repeated the cookie dough/cake batter question. So now I know twice you'd be pick cookie dough. Funnily enough, you said your answer in the exact same voice and tone. Strange.

[ED2J95]

my dad works at ikea

[undercoversandwich]

why are YOU so awesome??

[whitefluffyhat]

"NOW MAKE ME A PUPPY SIZED ELEPHANT!!"

[MollyOmigosh]

I heart John Green.

:]

[cantreachthespacebar]

if they're all tied for last, they're all tied for first

[MsFunnyFace]

You have no idea how comforting it is to know that you weren't a good student in high school. Because that means there's hope for me. Mostly because I spent most of my study halls writing stories I never finished. Yay nerdliness.

[abeautifulword]

Looking for Alaska will be a movie?

This is pretty very awesome =)

[ShutupChar]

That's the exact same bookcase i wanted from ikea!

but it wouldnt fit in my room... so i settled for four smaller bookcases all around it...

:)

NERDFIGHTERS!
