[TheFoolishNutter]

I have very much favourited this vid.

[morena15love]

Hi! This video made me really want to go to Vidcon! I might actually go this year! I'm kinda nervous...but you made it seem like it would be fun and not as scary as I have been imagining it to be.

[banananeil1]

I was one of those people u mer

[theejbugg]

You have a really nice voice. 

[countryroo123]

Hey! What happened to your P4A vid?

[cowcowmeowmeow]

Will you give me a hug Neil? I am sending you a picture in the mail. Is that hug worthy? I favorited! I only want a huuug! Rawr

[IamaNinjaDinosaur]

Whut ? why is this the most recent video? ...OMG ! I'VE TRAVELED IN TIME ! i knew that time went slower in the morning when a thretened the clock .. :D

[RossLikesYourFace]

Why must you be, so damn adorable...It makes me sick. lol

[hagrit9]

What I love about youtube is that you can feel like you know someone even though you have never met them. That's how I feel about you. I might never meet you in real life or any closer than your videos but I feel like I know you. =)

[avenueqlover2122]

mhm this video hit close to home... energy rawrr... and i liked it and posted it on my facebook wall

[jaredacwheaton]

Did you dye your hair?

[lukebeach92]

Hi Neil! So you have not responded to me in like a year so I'm pretty sad and you also unsubscribed from me and that just makes me double sad. But it's okay. Bye.

[BananaNeil]

@lukebeach92 i'm sorry kid, i have been exceptionally busy with things and stuff <3

[lukebeach92]

@BananaNeil nooo you dont love meeee its okay

[DeathBringer769]

I used to say rawr. That was back in 7th grade. I'm 23 now..

[LauraCuthbert]

This literally just showed up in my sub box

[BananaNeil]

@LauraCuthbert Yeahh, weirdly enough, when i uploaded it, i set it to be released in like 1969 or something.... so when i clicked "publish now" youtube did some weird buggy things. =]

[VayuPurana]

this vid basically sums up the true essence of vidcon

[itsachelseathing]

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[MediocreFilms]

Well that's just a nice video. I really should get around to editing my VidCon vlogs from the last 2 years.....

[LittleCheezieCow]

I really, really would like to go to VidCon but I live in Australia :'(

[moniquesmilesalot]

we can be friends :D

[dilutedpants]

I love you Neil! You are fantastic!

Can you do a BlogTV sometime soon?

That would be really, really fun.

[RogueBlueJay]

But seriously, I don't think I saw this video for some reason. It's so. Beautiful.

[RogueBlueJay]

Okay... VidCon back now.

[Flames0141]

WE FEEL THE SAME, MAN

[Jozamonster]

ya.... you really did have a lot of energy :P (:

[rudcalder]

fag

[saheel97]

Thumbs up! :-)

[JohnnPurchasee]

Calm down.

[JaylaCucu]

Thumbs up. :)

I'm a new viewer, but I love you already. Also, it doesn't bother me when people talk about vidcon, I like it because the videos take me there so I can live it, too.

Plus, I completely agree with your point that you're more real on camera. You ("you" being any youtuber) can be whoever you want to be and not care about the consequences. I'm more myself online, completely. :)

[beccie123x]

This is the first of your videos i have watched but it was so awesome, it just made me want to go to vidcon more :)

[elephantsandrootbeer]

Ah! I totally just stumbled upon this and had to comment. (: I had the exact same experience. It's amazing how at home I felt that weekend, among a group of people I didn't even know. And meeting you was so awesome! Your energy and friendliness totally made my night. (You took like ten pictures of my TARDIS and delorean shirt)

I hope I get to see you again next year. (:

[WooHoo507]

I hate that I barely started watching your vids AFTER vidcon.. Would have loved meeting you!

[Fundippsoyeah]

Very accurate description of VidCon. You go Neil.

[beastingitt]

i liked it cuz i liked it...... wait what?

[AccioAlice]

Nawh it looks so good! I live in UK though and have only just started making videos, I think I'll go to the UK version of vidcon next year :L

Love you Niellllllll, Favourited <3

[emmfan09]

I "liked" this video because I totally liked what you had to say about the community, and it was excellent meeting/chatting with you at VidCon! I can't wait for next year yayayayay. :D

[bandg4evr]

Wow. You are such an amazing talker.

[DoNotFuckYourself]

you're cute ^^

[Mozza314]

I might just go to vidcon next year. We'll see.

[woodlandfox2112]

the real test is how to export these values to who you are when you're out in public, away from the insulation of the nerd-fighters, and communicate them to the wider audience. I believe you're a good man, Neil; it will be interesting to note your trajectory through the next decade.

[platinum2525]

Neil!!!!! i hope you dont mind but im going to make you rawring my new ringtone (its pretty epic =P)

[tammaragirl]

favorited :D

[fizzylimon]

This is such a great summary of VidCon. Also, it only reinstates my desire to be your friend.

[emmfan09]

@fizzylimon STEEEEEEEEEEEVE. I am so glad we're friends. I feel as though I don't tell this to my friends as much as I say it to myself over and over again daily. Aaaand that sounds a lot more obsessive than it should.

[fizzylimon]

@emmfan09 RYYYYAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN. I'm so glad we're doing this again. Also, the obsession is somewhat reciprocalWHYAREYOUNOTCOMINGDO­WNWEREGOINGONSUNDAYIFYOUEVERCH­ANGEYOURMINDBRINGLIZZIEWITHYOU­.

[In5omn0L3nT]

favorited :)

[MorganPaigeLoves]

Sounds like a plan :) Also, Vidcon pictures?

[DoubleK8]

I liked this vid because I really do argee- I feel like people are trying to act cool, or be popular on youtube instead of just using it for what it is. Youtube is a community where it is good to be different & express yourself knowing that their are people - maybe half way around the world- that think exactly like you. Which makes you feel a little bit better and not so small in the world. Keep making vids and never give up who your r <3

[londonadienninja5638]

I am def liking and favoring this video! It describes so well why I wanted to start making videos. I'm going to send it to all those people who have told me it's just a wast of time. Or that I shouldn't do it. Thanks Neil for giving me a voice to all those hatred out there :) oh and rawwwrrr!

[lPinkRainn]

why wouldnt i like this video? ;) ah i wish i could go to vidcon¸ i really wanna go next year but living in the uk its abit expensive! ohwell i shall go i saw loads of videos and people just being utterly crazy like people asking shane dawson to chew gum then put it in theyre mouth. i agree i love how people can just be themselves and be accepted. i dont think ill ever be accepted by normal people. but with youtube i feel accepted by everyone. its amazing how it has brought us all together.

[rarerthanuranium]

liked. also, i feel like you and i are very different people, and yet, every time you speak, i just think "yes," like i fully understand what you're getting at, and i love it. i hope i'll get to go to vidcon or a youtube gathering at some point, and meet you.

[cakeykhans]

So you were the kid with the RAWR shirt i saw you!!!, but i just found this channel from Morgans tweet! I totally agree Vidcon actually made me start editing and vloging inspired me to at least start. I can't wait again next year! Liked and Favorite!

[BananaNeil]

@cakeykhans haha, thank you so so so much. =]

rawrrrr i'm excited to meet you next year

[suse8138]

That was a great explanation of what VidCon felt like. I might need to borrow some of that to try and explain what an awesome experience it was. I bumped into you a couple of times there and I wish I'd had the chance to hang out with you more. Maybe next time, I hope :-)  DFTBA

[BananaNeil]

@suse8138 next time definitely =] rawrr you should make a video response, if you are plaining on explaining how awesome it was. =]

[suse8138]

@BananaNeil I'll do that. I've still got a week in Canada before I get a chance to, but I'll try to put another voice to the coolness that was VidCon.

[DrakeBellForEver21]

hey Neil i just saved the video to my playlist!!! And im planning and hope to come to Vidcon next year! Rawr! -Bailey 

[BananaNeil]

@DrakeBellForEver21 happy dance, happy dance =]

[DrakeBellForEver21]

@BananaNeil hahahaha! your comment just made my day :)

[MorganPaigeLoves]

I VERY much like this video. :) So much agreed..ness.

[BananaNeil]

@MorganPaigeLoves rawrrr thank you =]

we should do a video together soon?

[musicismylove92]

Liked and favorited, because you are such a real person =) I can't wait to (hopefully!) go to VidCon next year and meet awesome people (and lions) like yourself <3

[Cristalmate]

this is the first video i saw of you, and i fell in love with it. :)

[JollyJerkinJacob]

What you just said... WORD

I Really enjoyed you playing the piano on the last day =D

Youtube Or Bust

[BananaNeil]

@JollyJerkinJacob haha, thanks so much.. =]

i hardly ever get an audience... so i really really appreciated it. =]

[dwr0615]

hey glad that you had fun at vid con. im diffintley gone to try to go next year

[alollapalooza]

So, Eden HASN'T stolen your camera yet... She said she would... So, be prepared, man. BE PREPARED.

[BananaNeil]

@alollapalooza hahaha, i'll keep that in mind. =]

rawrr

[thatzak]

This is the best VidCon video.

[PenguinRiotChallenge]

@thatzak haha zach!!

[schemestresses]

Hey it was nice meeting you! Great video!!

[BananaNeil]

@schemestresses rawrrrrr =]

[JoshRimer]

I decided not to talk about how great VidCon was in my videos because I didn't feel like I could truly explain how phenomenally amazing it was (and I didn't want to make people feel bad for missing it), but you summed it up really well! I miss it!!!

[tomthecat94]

This makes me want to upload videos to my channel.

Sadly I'm too insecure to film myself.

I very much agree about the "being yourself" thing, though. Same thing happens to me when I'm on Twitter with my friends or on YouTube writing comments. I post things I would never dare say in real life.

Gosh I want to break out of my shells real bad, but I can't.

[BananaNeil]

@tomthecat94 You know, videos are a really really awesome way to break out of your shell. give it a try? for me? =]

[tomthecat94]

@BananaNeil I… try… /runs away in fear

Seriously though, might give vlogging a spin if I am able to deal with the whole mess of college applications and senior year and stuff. :-)

[emhillz]

This is definitely one of my favorite VidCon videos so far, so thank you for eloquently summing up what the VidCon experience is all about. I met some amazing people and made some awesome new friends that weekend--and I got to see you at the dance party and awkwardly tell you your awesome and ask for a hug, so that was cool too :)

[dilutedpants]

I really like you, Neil. Yup.

[kaysyconundrum]

let's be friends. RAWR!!! i wanna go to vidcon next year sooooooo badly!!!! i hope i have money hahaha

[subconsciouslystupid]

this sounds like a documentary. and i LOVE this video.

[MartianSnow]

cooo vlog neil, I'll try to come next year, and say Hi, even though I doubt the fact that i can make it, but who knows !!! : )) *HUGGIES*

[GenericEvilMob]

Rawr. Why is this video not showing up with the rest of my BananaNeil subscriptions? :(

[BananaNeil]

@GenericEvilMob welllll sad face? =[

[birdcagesandglitter]

I wish I could go to vidcon :(

[TheScarfingAndrew]

liked the video :D And even if I don't get to go next year… Can we still be friends?! ;]

[centreofdauniverse]

Liked, Favourited, was wondering if you still have that PO Box as I was thinking of sending you some more Vegimite (I heard you like it) and some other stuff which you might like.

If you don't is there somewhere I should send these things for you?

[BananaNeil]

@centreofdauniverse yes yes yes, i do have and i would LOVE to get vegimite in the mail. =]

pleaseee do send it. <3

[awesomeskierboy]

neil, neil. neil. hey neil..NEIL!  we ALL know, that you are in fact....a lion.

[EverDarkened1]

I already wanted to go to vidcon next year but now I really want to go just to meet you neil.....however if i dont manage to go I shall fly over to america at some point to meet you and hug you.

Rawrr ^_^

liked and favorited

[MintMunchies]

I only worry that if I went by myself, i'd be a loner for the whole time, everyone already looks like they're in their own friendship groups! Liked and Fav'd :)

[Katest3r]

This was an amazing vlog Neil... you put everything into words in such an awesome way. Its like a moment captured a generation captured its amazing :) liked and faved :) and your totally a lion <3

[BananaNeil]

@Katest3r thankyou so so so much. i think this is one of my favorite videos ever. =]

rawr

[tallatstarbucks]

This is one of my favorite VidCon videos because you had actual thoughts and didn't just say "look at all the people I hung out with!" I really hope to make it out to VidCon next year.

Also, RAWRRRRRRR!

[BananaNeil]

@tallatstarbucks yes yes yes, i hope you do tooo. =]

rawrr

[yuki2136157]

That's wonderful! !!

[IfUSeekAmyBaby]

Are there tickets or can anyone go? Cuz I read online that tickets cost $100. That's why I didn't go.

[BananaNeil]

@IfUSeekAmyBaby they do cost money. although the only thing that you cant without a ticket is go into the talks and things. but it still acts as a big yt gathering. =]

[steve3ny]

It's been a long time since I commented on one of your vids, but did want you to know that I favorited this one because it's so nice to see someone so totally happy and...complete. :)

[OrgasmandTea]

<33333333333333333333333333333­33

I think I have to get to Vidcon next year if it kills me. This video was just....it....it can only be summed up with <3333333333333333333333333

[kristeaa420]

Js... You playing the piano, when the guy that was supposed to kick us out of the room decided to be a hero and let us stay, was quite amazing. And you piano skills where great! I could have layed there and just listened to you play for ever. (litteraly) :)

[BananaNeil]

@kristeaa420 haha, welllllll..... thank you. =]

Hearing that realllly made my day. yeahh

rawrr

[tattooedboy04]

The world should be that way. Yea, I understand. You are special; always keep your rawr and don't let the 'boring' ones that want to squish your specialness have any effect....I am so glad you you had a wonderful time.

Hmm...it is long overdue for me to break out and make videos too...you may have inspired me, lion...

[silvershots3]

funny cuz while you'll never meet me where i could say this in person, it made me really happy to hear you describe how your current life situation is where you really want to be...it made me happy to know this face i only see online belongs to someone HAPPY. good for you Neil!

[BananaNeil]

@silvershots3 rawrawrawr, thank you so much for this commet.... it made me rally happy =]

[emilybroadgate]

Liked and favourited :)

I wish i could go to vidcon, from what youve said and tonnes of other youtubers it sounds awesome.

but alas im from england so that'd be verrrry expensive :(

[SuperCoraxo]

You talking real freaking fast!!! are you sure you are a lion, maybe you are a cheetah?! o.O lol I saw you in Matt's vidcon videos and i have to admit that you are real awesome on any channels! :D

[BananaNeil]

I wanna make friends with ppl, I need more friends! lol

[kathykatinahat]

Vidcon was so awesome, it was great hanging out with you! :)

[watermelonsmilezz]

... or being an ecstasy kid :)

[markwhalanaus]

Not to be too literal but shouldn't you be LionNeil not BananaNeil? #wherearethebananas?

[BananaNeil]

@markwhalanaus ohhhh sorry, i ate all of them. O_o

[NightApus]

gooosh I wanted to go so much to vodcon... :( but I'll try way harder for next year :D and you pomise to be there again, right, Neil?

[BieberBubbles13]

you're a really amazing person , niel.♥

~liked~

[Virini]

So... essentially what you're saying is that you on youtube is the equivalent of Bruce Wayne being Batman? :P

Looking forward to seeing you as charlie, lol. *liked* =D

[parrisdaley]

liked

[xxpumpkin14xx]

I'm definitely making it to next years vidcon ;) lml... Great vid!

[pvampire]

Favoriteed of course! I stil cant believe I missed you in Reno...haha I litereally live walking distance away from all those slot machines! aha

[vinceinburque]

I think you've hit on somethng remarkably profound about the purpose or "mission" of YT in this video.

[pvampire]

Aaarrgghhhh!!! Your already back? Well, next time you come through Reno, then you gotta lemme know so I can meet you and take you to a Lion feed! ahaha..I cheered when I saw you were in Reno!

[livecleanandprosper]

It's worth it to be yourself irl, not just on youtube. I've always just been me- it's never occured to try to be otherwise. And I've been called weird more times than I can count, but guess what? I'm about 10x happier than almost everyone I've ever met.

[aly5321]

you deserve more subscribers and views :D

[iLeaveYouWithHugs]

I'm determined to meet you some day, and when I do, I'm looking forward to being around you :)

*hugs*

[MarciaCM2]

I think people should expect to hear you say rawr several times in a conversation, I mean, that's what lions do, personally, I <3 it!

I'm not tired at all of watching vidcon videos, I want more!, they make me feel as part of it even though I wasn't there, so thank you, hopefully I'll able to go next year. :)

[irissel2007]

I have no problem with people uploading videos about VidCon. It makes me feel included even though I wasn't there. So don't apologize.

I felt at LeakyCon exactly the same way you felt at VidCon. The fact that events like that even exist in the world give me hope that someday I can be the person I want to be all the time. And that my life won't always be as blah as it is now.

[booshoe37]

YOU ARE EXACTLY THE PERSON I WANT TO KNOW!

So glad we had a full weekend to hang out. :)

[sarahsmilesformiles]

I've been wanting to go to vidcon ever since last year and this just makes me want to go even moreee. i love the youtube community and i'm so glad you're never planning on leaving it :)

liked and favourited <3

[MirZaRandom]

Favorited :D you will see me next year :)

[breanna1824]

i really really want to go to VidCon next year!n but im 14, live in australia and have no money to get there. but i really want to go anyway!! hopefully if i go ill meet you <3

rawrrr!

[houseofawsome]

Is it weird to say that in some odd way you inspire me with your lovely randomness and delightful hyperness?

[ItsMattHoff]

this video is so true in so many ways!

[AtrumDelorox]

I like all the videos up about VidCon, everyone looks so at one, but this video is without a doubt the best one I've seen covering the topic :')

I shall find a way to get to L.A., or maybe VidCon can happen in NY next year? Somehow I'll say hi in person Neil (and it'll be the best day ever) ^_^

[JordynJitters]

You were ALL over the place at VidCon! It was amazing. You have such an awesome energy.

[dftbanne]

This video is made of awesome! It was amazing meeting people from all over the world. The coolest thing for me was that I made friends with so many cool people. Lots of love from the Netherlands to all who I met there (and of course to you Neil). Anne

[HannieHee]

People say I act differently in videos. If they were a camera that couldn't talk back, and there weren't any people in the room to look at me like this O_o I would act like that all the time.

RAWR! You're a lion. <3

[LyonHart8]

I mentioned wanting to try to come to vidcon next year on your other video but what you just said here makes me even more determined to make it happen. That's exactly the kind of experiance I need.

And I liked and favourited this of course! :)

[BananaNeil]

@LyonHart8 that is so so so awesome =] i'm sooo glad you are wanting to come next year. =]

rawrrr

thank you so much for liking and favoriting. i'll see you next year =]

[MsEmwee]

@LyonHart8 I agree with your comment! Let's go to vidcon together next year! haha I have yet to go!

[JadeSClark]

[WoahItsKimber]

@JadeSClark No problem. lol I actually heard about you the other day in a G+ hangout. James was excited he met a girl in a moose hat, I assume thats you lol

[BananaNeil]

@JadeSClark ahhh, james. although i'm not totally sure i remember his channel name. O_o

[JadeSClark]

@BananaNeil Haha, it's all good - somebody already directed me there, NOBODY PANIC! nobody was panicking...

[Nsnick88]

Freaking awesome vlog, Neil. And I didn't even get to go to VidCon! I really must make an effort to get there next year... there's no question about it. Favorited this for sure. :)

[RainbowUnicornFace]

omg i love your eyes<3

[nexttsar]

Your vids are always fun. I really liked the honesty in this one. I don't know why someone as cool as you would have trouble making friends, but I am glad that Vidcon allowed you to be yourself among similar people. And you got to see Charlie is so Cool Like. Haha.

[Brodie1238]

Uh, subscribed. That was a lovely video. Made me smile.

[BananaNeil]

@Brodie1238 rawrrr. thank you. i do really appreciate it. now we can be friends!

[RachelMakesItAwkward]

[themunchkym]

I agree that Vidcon was completely amazing. Meeting you was pretty sweet too :)

[BananaNeil]

@meenasaurusrex <333 rawrrr thank youu =]

[HotMissa]

I always like and favorite your videos. Hopefully I can afford to go to VidCon next year. Stay sweet <3

[BananaNeil]

@HotMissa thank you soo muchhh. i hope you do come! =]

[LizzyMidnight]

I so agree with every single thing you said in this video, especially about being yourself at VidCon. One of the things I loved most about meeting you was the fact that you actually were as energetic and happy in person as you are in your videos. We only talked a few times, but you were someone who really helped make my VidCon experience fun and magical and awesome. Thanks for that. <3

[RackiePlib]

*likes* This was amazing I'm so jealous. Why must flights to America be so expensive? Darn England..

[culinary2010]

I liked this video :) I think I have liked all of ur videos lol

[BananaNeil]

@culinary2010 rawrrrr, you're awesome. =]

[culinary2010]

@culinary2010 Not as awesome as you are. I mean you are a lion. I could only wish that I could b a lion ;(

[0zMovies]

Captured my opinions on my experience there. faved.
