Breakdancing in Missoula Montana

[RosefulEvelyns]

Similarly to cup stacking my first reaction to this is "That's amazing!" and my second is "Why?"

[dolphin64575]

Was this when The Katherine dislocated her shoulder?

[VeryMuse2011]

Wow he'd get a kick out of ABDC on MTV.

[japanesepoptart]

Michigan has plenty of cool places to see and explore.......Grand Rapids isn't one of them. XD

[ChelsieOliviaa]

@japanesepoptart Oh, yes it is. Grand Rapids has hospitals up to wazu, and beautiful graffiti all over the place, and A LOT OF PLACES WITH BOOKS, and ArtPrize, and old, abandoned buildings that make you sad and ponderous at the same time.

I live in Grandville, which is a dinky little suburb of Grand Rapids.

In a place where practically everything goes right without trying,

it's an interesting experience to be in a place where something can go wrong without trying.

[japanesepoptart]

@ChelsieOliviaa

Well I suppose it depends on how you look at it. I suppose my hometown (Detroit) has some pretty interesting parts too, like the Ren Cen, Hart plaza, and the spirit of Detroit. I've only been to Grand Rapids a handful of times, but it WAS when I was young, before I started to appreciate where I live more.

[cmccrzy]

This looks so cool.

[n00dlez56]

lmao awwww fat ppl n_n

[ilovetocomment317]

They make it seem so easy...

[droan999]

sloppy. shit. basic moves, loose style, whose the lil kid w the fro,

[Rosacalypso]

it was so hard to concentrate on the rest of that video after you sang THE 21 JUMP STREET THEME SONG (8)we never thought of finding a place where we belooooong...

[quidditchcapn10]

one of my theatre professors was in 21 Jump Street :)

[ferngirltlc]

Oh, please no rap music...

Though that is pretty impressive.

[geemoism]

i was so ready to make fun of this video but it turned out better than i thought when i heard "best breakdancing in missoula" (where i am from)

[thepoopookid]

they suck!

[NiftyTan]

yea fuck ya missoula :) love that town zootown

[TheKryssyPants]

1:44 - ouch. fail.

[armlutscher]

haha not that good

[Matsuifan13]

I want to see you Breakdance Hank

[DeliciousLahr]

my bad..typing to dame quick...you talkin to fast-> it got me typing crazy...jokez!

[DeliciousLahr]

this is soo hot!!!!! love the trach..redcloud is sooo fierce!!! boy you whilte but dame you know how to rock your swag...tooo sweet. ONE

[mylovelydame21]

WOW... that's the kind of stuff I wish I could do, but I know that if I ever tried... I would break something in like... two seconds. LOL

[MrJohn1224]

woot woot that was very awesome

[wehaveBROWNrice]

I just thought I'd let you know that the strangest ad is on the right of this video. It says: "WARNING: Do Not Read This If You Have Moral, Ethical Or Religious Treasons Against Hurting (Or Even Killing) Someone Who Violently Attacks You, Your Wife Or Your Kids..." Which is bizarre enough in itself, but it doesn't give a link to any thing either, so what is it telling you not to read? The ad? Which you have to read in the first place? Just thought I'd let you know what the ad is. DFTBA!

[LordFerret920]

well hoooly shit.  that was cool.

[jbrujones]

Zoo Town rocks. Big Ups to Redcloud and DJ Wise!

[DorkyDamsel]

he said the first but the side bar says the 3rd !? did he post it late??!?!?!?!

[elvendork1995]

Comment 395 :

Imagine Hank breakdancing , that would be funny but i would be totally jokes

Some of these people are so good !

[splivey]

ZEPPO, VIAGRA!!!!

[SpiffyKidVids]

21 Jump Street is awesome. x3

[tvsuicide4]

To those of you unfortunate people who do not know what 21 Jumpstreet is.... YOU HAVE TO SEE IT! Oh my gosh, a TV show with young Johnny Depp in it and interesting from the 80's.... PLEASE LOOK IT UP!

Very enjoyable Hank! ^_^

[sarahgoresch]

Grand Rapids Michigan= all types of Awesome!

[senorsqueakydesk]

Having lived in Grand Rapids, MI, I'm not really sure why you compared it to the break-dancing crew. I found the break-dancing way way more interesting than anything I ever saw in G.R.

[NpPro93]

the first real life nerdfighter gathering ever was in grand rapids. he was talking about that event, not the place in general

[ThatllShowEm]

Wah. I can't believe I missed The Awesome at Rock Reggies. I went the second night, but the first night I missed because of all of The Awesome I had already experienced from the first few days of Terminus (including Wrock Chicago) and I REALLY needed some sleep. As it turns out, I still got sick anyways due to lack of sleep + abundance of Awesome. Oh well. I suppose it won't be the last time that much Awesome ever happens again.

[DittoFreak]

Comment 313:

I wanna see Hank breakdance!

[JollyGreenGordo]

you guys are wack

[DrieseRiese]

I think you're missing a vowel. But you don't need a vowel. People filled with suck don't need vowels. Nor do they need air.. Well.. At least they shouldn't be allowed to get it.

[brad5926]

I love this song.

[mtFootFun]

Awesome, I know all those guys and they are damn good at what they do and nice people too.

[LariaKaiba]

omg i love 21 jumpstreet! <3

[devindisaster1989]

is that matt and luke and them???

[AlbinoChocolateMufin]

Help Nerdfighters

GVO

Get VlogBrothers on Oprah!

[WeWantAShrubbery]

YAY 21 JUSMP ST!!!!!! I'm happy!!!

[nerdette27]

I didn't realize people breakdance in Missoula. That is clearly made of AWESOME. Thank you Hank.

[OneMillionQuestions]

Hahaha. xD That was so neat. Man I wish I could move like that.

[indigoquill]

Man, break-dancers are just awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[Hoodyrulez]

wuts kool is break dancing started by this guy named taki writing his name every where now this one person ONE PERSON started this world wide culture

[lojikmagnus]

Julia Nunes sent me

[speede179]

Hooray! Julia Nunes + Vlogbrothers = AWESOME.

[CaptainKobold]

Dude! I didn't think it was permissible for adults to do stuff like that!

And yes, it does completely rock that poeople are doing this in Missoula.

[ivseenenuf]

Not bad, some good moves but piss poor camera work.

[HalfScottishGuy]

that was cool! must have been cool to see that live, and wow you got pretty close at some points, I thought the camera was going to get kicked at one point.

[thomasjeromenewton47]

A friend of mine mentioned she was thinking about moving to Missoula Montana. So I of course said "You have to because Hank is there!" And she just looked at me and said "Who's Hank?" Anywho, I can now tell her that she should also go because of the break dancing opportunities in her future.

[la78al]

they need 2 work on their swips 900's and 2000's

[sStAaMrI]

LOL!

nice moves.

[the5regularguys]

That...

... that was just awesome!

[alizask]

So cool!

[gmack1989]

I hat to tell you this because I am a rather big fan, but those guys a rather bad at breakdancing.

Maybe try googling wickedforce break crew. Arch Illias and his crew will blow your mind.

[epichearting]

crazy moves. awesome song.

[OmgitsNeens]

Still cant believe you were in Grand Rapids, MI and I missed you. Its an hour from where I live and my friend drives there every weekend.

Coincidentally, Taylor Lautner who plays Jacob Black was there around the same time. He was visiting his old hometown and stoppped at a bookstore unexpectedly for the release of Breaking Dawn.

[blindcacophony]

they're aight.

[LettuceBeTogether]

wtf?! thats not good, i know ppl that do this and they are 14 and they can do it better than this!!

[Helgacabbage]

Some of those moves were really impressive, but sometimes - I'm sorry - sometimes... it reminds me of when my 6 year old lies on the floor and thrashes his legs to music shouting "mommy look at me!"

[getalife768]

wait, which pair of glasses did you buy

[candylips8788]

WELL I'M SORRY... GOSH

[51320044]

nerdy break dancing? anyone else see the irony? though it is friggin' awesome, I will admit.

[Acuraman67]

how do they put the subscribe button on top of the description?

[dannyisagirlsname]

Wow those are some serious moves!

Hank you have GOT to show us your breakdancing now. You must.

[strandedon8jo]

I could be wrong... but that was Hank (ever so briefly) showing us his moves at 2:47 minutes in, wasn't it?

[LifenProse]

@strandedon8jo You have 69 likes, I want to preserve this moment.

[meganjoy99]

hey hank, are the glasses you're wearing in this vid the new ones that you bought? i don't remember this pair being one of the choices. they're nice though. :)

anyway, happy 08/08/08!

[Jessums31]

This is still an awesome video! The songs really good. love how he mentions krabby patties :D

Hank pwns

[boingboingcurls]

Sweet Jesus, I've missed seven videos while school's been picking up; how saddening!

[sarahlikesspoons]

u guys can fuck off ... hes really funny

[Nic33rd]

Certainly a different sort of Vlog Brothers video!

[pinkzombi]

Hank, you're so fly.

Did you pick the glasses yet?

xoxox

[jacksink07]

dude! i'm glad we caught a tiny glimpse of hank break dancing! i hope there will be more footage of hank dancing to come...? (oh please oh please oh please)

[candylips8788]

THIS IS SOOOOOOOO FUCKIN BORING....

[SirSchreiber]

i am truly perplexed by your choice to type something such as this because in case you didn't know, you were not forced to watch this. You chose to watch it and then take the time to make this comment. I'm sorry you have nothing better to do in your free time.

[katsoundREMIX]

:] i always wished to do that.

[mrstiggywinkle05]

i <3 breakdancing...

nerdfighting breakdancing is double the awesome

[whiteandnerdy2727]

Weird...I live in Montana...why were you in Montana now?

[dandieelyon]

hey I live in Montana too! What part are you in? I'm in Columbia Falls

[whiteandnerdy2727]

I'm in the northeastern part. In the group of little towns...

[elfkwest]

hank lives in Missoula!

[BreanaMurphy]

that was...interesting?

[RawkStarxx]

Wizard rock!!

Ahah, I was gonna comment on the breakdancing and the entire video as a whole but now my mind is preoccupied by the awesomeness of wizard rock.

\m/

[Antoski2002]

what song is that????

[Madchild2001]

OMG, I used to LOVE, and I mean LOVE, 21 Jump Street...and ok...Johnny Depp too :) I thought that his character was supercool cuz he was a teenage cop.

Anyway,Hank, just have to say, that the video is not made of awesome, the people breakdancing are made of awesome... and okay, you too- but that's kind of an everyday thing :)

[elfkwest]

i'm confused about why you think this vid isn't awesome.  not enough hank?

[Madchild2001]

I acutally did say it was awesome if you think about it. (I confuse a lot of people, cuz I'm usually the only one who understands my thinking--I'm just weird like that.)

I said that the people in the video who are breakdancing are made of awesome--and since all the peole breakdancing make up the video--including Hank--the video itself is made of awesome.

BTW, there can never be enough Hank, or John for that matter.

[ElsaWrigley]

It's a marriage of two of my loves! Nerdfighting and hip-hop!

[angeliiine]

Hahaha oh Hank, was that you trying to break dance in the yellow shirt?

I love watching break dancing toooo.

And you never told us what glasses won the vote!

[jinkeejangler]

Wicked. :D

[StarWarsFanSWF]

Haha, sweet, don't really expect that sorta thin in MT :-D

[JarrodJS]

Yea that swhy I wanna move there Tampa is just to trash. It dosnt snow and I wanna see snow I've never seen it.

[StarWarsFanSWF]

Oh, really? I live up in New England, so I see snow all the time :-D

[jrog25]

Yay missoula montana! Home of Montana Rep....where I got my first crescent wrench.(They accidentally left it in my theatre.) I know very dorky but I'm a lighting guy....what can I say! Awesome stuff. Nerdfighters!

[JarrodJS]

Montana is my favorite state. I wish I could live there.

[Briellesabop]

omfg that was made of awesome to the max

[manstein1973]

1:14

Fattest break dancer I've ever seen.

Might be good if he lost 20 lbs.

[ElsaWrigley]

I'm sorry, I try to respect other peoples opinions, but that is total bull! That was some made of awsome breakdancing, and you're talking about them needing to loose weight!? I gotta say, that doesn't say anything good about your priorities.

Besides did you see what he was doing?! I bet he's in better shape than you are.

[charlottepoet]

i wish i could dance too!

the guy in the black hat was awesome!

[Lumos17]

Ha! i love his yellow shirt! Yellow shirts make me smile! :D

[52week]

nice, i wish i knew how to dance :P

[watsapope]

its too bad that im gonna be in baltimore for otakon on the 8th youd think that they would spread out nerd events more

[dmeckle]

3:59 wow cuttin it close

[AHLfromSWEDEN]

jumpstyle is so much better then break dancing

[karalynn1990]

that was chill

[lamelori]

I didn't really understand the preregistration.

I emailed the given address and I didn't recieve an email confirming it or anything.

Hopefully they got it?

[UPSunderground]

I do love the intro to 21 Jumpstreet!

[xweirdsister1x]

Missoula Montana pwns Miley and Mandy!!!!

[SpartanM621]

"At the begining"

No, There isnt anything more entertaining..but yes grand rapids is awesome

[GrahamCrackerGirl]

I got really excited when he said that, I live in Grand Rapids.

[SpartanM621]

Sweet, I live in the u.p

[Sprut6]

21 jump street...aw I feel old now. :)

[bailily]

Well, that was intense. Everyone is so strong and coordinated!

[mcflyloveme]

you are my perfect man hank

[kmwdwsw]

At my old age I enjoy watching the flexibility of breakdancers, especially in MSO where we spend so much time. However, the intro guy (Hank?) is enough to turn a mother off from watching her child near a cliff.

[jennabunnykins]

You get five stars for singing the opening to 21 Jump Street!

[wow1just1wow]

We need to see Hank breakdancing. (:

[Kimmck88]

CHICAGO NERDFIGHTERS!

If I'm coming from the Cumberland station, which train do I transfer to/where do I get off for this Friday?

[danig120]

Thats pretty cool. I wish I had rhythm.

I also wish that you didn't go GR and GH as soon as I move from that area. D:

I would like to see you break dancing.

[LiliPwnz]

haha is that you, yellow shirt? you should have included more of you dancing, hank :]

[literaturecrazy]

Breakdancing (and Mario Lopez) really are uniting all corners of the contiguous United States.

[bailily]

This is the best statement I have heard all day.

[literaturecrazy]

I wasn't really sure if the America's Best Dance Crew (aka, Mario Lopez shout-out) was a little too esoteric for the Nerd Fighters.

[bailily]

Pop culture is in such a spotlight these days that, even though I didn't even watch any part of America's Best Dance Crew, I knew what you were talking about.

[Lyzbian]

they are so talented! this is awesome thank you for sharing!

[JaredInABottle]

Lol, 2:47! You go Hank!

Jared

[socialcasualty22]

You should put up a video of your breakdancing =]

[SORCelement]

Bboying and Nerdfighting goes hand in hand. I should know. I'm both and proud of it! :]

[Pinkerton9]

Break dancing is fine but strikes me a little like gymnastics. To see true dancing with a partner check out ~ Fast Swing Dancing - ULHS 2006 ~ on You Tube. You will be amazed and you'll see that the dancers are Nerdfighterish.

[InterplanetJanet77]

omg hank, when you broke out into 21 jumpstreet song, i died.

[sgtpeppers10]

i wasn't able to preregister in time :( that's what i get for working too much and neglecting to watch your videos right away.

[abug3210]

Zoo Town represent!

[surrealisticpill]

breakdancing isn't something i consider jokes by default, but that was way awesome!

[ilovecait922]

sehs called the yeti because she refused to appear in earler episodes. if you go back to jaunary 2007 hesays something along the lines of "so you wont see sarah very much except in quick glances...like the yeti!" or something like that go watch it its great

[clockwise16912]

why is john greens wife called "the yeti"?

[InterplanetJanet77]

For complicated reasons that have to do with things like shaking bushes and kittens wrestling rainbows.

[supaslim]

Because she's an elusive creature rarely seen by Nerdfighter eyes

[SapphireUnited]

Breakin' is an American art form, like jazz, and it needs to keep coming into the mainstream. Keep it going, Missoula!

[nbwulf]

Enjoyed it amigo...

[missdivinestalls]

That was so EPIC!!

[zrg48]

whatever happened to the glasses thing i want to know the results

[CoDee2U]

REDCLOUD!!!! Dude, he is so full of AWSOME!!!!

[showersinger34]

i wanted hank to dance. :(

i kept thinking those guys were gonna die or something! holy crap!

[corymin]

Hey Hank, what is your shirt from? I saw a one man anti-drug performance at my old high school called Dirt, I was wondering if that's the same guy?

[elfkwest]

naw it's from a defunct paper in Boulder, CO that hank used to write for...

[tinnyandlionfro]

HOlY CRAP

I too used to break dance, and it still amazes me when i see someone who can do a flare

it is amazing

[clockwise16912]

haha i agree, my brother still breakdances and some of the things people do while dancing amazes me.

lol it also freaks me out to see my little brother doing all tht (i always think he is gonna break his wrist or neck or sumthin) lol

flares rule.

i thnk the 4,5&6 steps still look kool

[BomanTheBear]

a couple things.

1: You guys are awesome. I expect no reply to this.

2: I use to breakdance too. Don't fight a breakdancer who also fights. I also expect no reply to this (probably dead).

3. To thos of you who still have working wrists and breakdance, PM and tell me how.

[Irridescent]

I emailed them about preregistering a few days ago and received no reply. :(

[ravenclawconfused14]

who'da thought Missoulawas so gangsterrr

[ShayRAMONE]

So Hank.

A friend and I went to a Wizard Rock concert tonight with The Remus Lupins, The Mudbloods, and The Womping Willows.

We asked a question if any of them had heard of the song Accio Deathly Hallows, and apparently, none of them have.

I was quite depressed to hear this, because I was kind of hoping that they would break into a huge cover of it for us here in Detroit, but sadly, they didn't.

That is all.

:]

[vlogbrothers]

Well...hopefully The Whomping Willows will hear it soon, because I'm playing a show with them next week :-)

Of course, I don't listen to a lot of wizard rock outside of the music of the five awesome girls either.

[aicfan85]

really? to me Wizard Rock is the most Punk Rock thing happening anymore..and i say that not being a HUGE Harry Potter fan.. I once hosted a show for the Whomping Willows ..he's a nice chap, im sure you will get along nicely.

[ShayRAMONE]

I didn't know you were playing a show with him.

All I knew was that you were playing a show soon.

I want to go really badly, but I live in Detroit, and that poses a problem. haha.

[Room3428]

Hank - I cannot WAIT for you to be a part of Wrock Wreggies. Thank you so much for accepting the invitation! I know it's going to be an incredibly amazing night.

--MJ

[Navs1231]

amazinggggg

[isis416]

With the chicago library thing- just open the windows :P! haha people popping their heads in. OH! And sit people ontop of bookshelves :D

[marciscoolerthanyou]

[flyingmonkeycrap]

[HotPiratesWench]

[jskippy93]

[CrazyMetalKidd]

nuuu hank got a hair cut :I his old hair was pimp

[Berthaballs16]

Yayyyyyyyy!

[0whoadang0]

HANK!

YOU USED REDCLOUD?!

That's amazing. I seriously think he's really underrated. I saw him freestyle once, and I nearly peed my pants it was so awesome.

[zenith1980z]

err.. am i missing something? hank already pick a glasses?

[Sqiget1921]

Hey don't think we didn't see you!! Ya for B-boy NF!

[forthsprangLove]

Awesome.

On a side note, what kind of movie editor do you guys use? Is it iMovie?

[dude33369]

they dont look like nerd fighters
