Your Spying Thieving Valentine: Hank

[HariSlate]

Jane Austen Nerdfighters!!!

[tipomartins]

looking forward to the 720p videos

[sethwerewolf]

can someone tell me why it is 1987?

[Twefrence]

That Darcy/Hank photo at the end made me go youtubing The Darcy proposal =P the BBC version btw.

That's actually the only version I've fully watched (school syllabus) and to this date, I think the BBC version just brings back memories.

Memories of high school, reading SO MUCH into the book and adaption, portraying the characters... =)

[Ginger743]

So i totally didnt get it when i watched all the vlogbrothers videos this summer...Now i've read pride & prejudice and its like my new favorite book ever and all i have to say is THATS SO AWESOME HANK

[MissMeggie2804]

I can't help but think that hank is maybe a bit more...proud of nerdfighteria than john is...

[MissMeggie2804]

You know, I can't hrlp

[BIBIisBOREDXD]

Eeek! I love that book! Have ou rea the sequel yet? If not go do so right now! I'm not joking take your butt to the closest book store and buy it! And no Im not being paid to say this XD

[26Staples]

"13 little blue envelopes was fantastic but my sneakascope would be flashing and spinning if I said that it was the best book I've read..."

[jmomm]

I'm a Jane Austen Nerdfighter and proud of it!

[kitkatorange444]

GO JANE AUSTEN NERDFIGHTERS!! :D

[myBadInnocence]

because, Hank, she expects you to find a way to time travel in the time you remember her card so you can go back in time and hug her. she probably really needed a hug that day. So go do it! But of course, once you've done that, she never will have sent you that card, you never would have talked about it, I never would have commented, you will have created a time space paradox, and therefore you are not reading this. this is text with no context or meaning whatsoever. Refrigerator.

[bouncingonice]

I want a Darcy valentine :(

[Sushilovingpanda]

I've been a Jane Austen nerdfighter since my mom showed me the BBC production of P&P when I was 2 and loved it. NERDFIGHTERS!!

[ducksplayukulele]

Jane Austen nerdfighters <3

[Friends4LIfe121995]

hank you are so bad at keeping up to posting the videos every other day! hahahaha i love you.

[pienkunicorn]

I did buy that book on your recommendation. I was kind of dissapointed. I got a few laughs out of it and it prevented me from being bored to death on my 20+ hour flight and my almost 12 hours in airports, but I still felt kind of let down.

Maybe I wasn't in the mood to appreciate young adult literature at the end of a very exhausting semester. Maybe the whole traveling premise just really didn't appeal to me given what i was doing at the time...

Anyway. Awesome valentine. :D

[lilypad145]

Oh I do indeed love the Darcy valentine - so cute!

[massacregoddess]

YOU LIKE ELSEWHERE. YOU ARE WIN. AJF;LSKMDFALSDJK. YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS. FAJLSKDF;AJS. YAY.

[ResaIsSoLameLike]

OHSHIZZ!!! I love Elsewhere!!! I was trying to explain its awesomeness to my friends, but I lost them at Festus...

They soooo don't know what they're missing.

But on the bright side, I recently converted my mother and half of her coworkers to Nerdfighterianism. (:

[schizaphrenic]

Hank used to talk so ridiculously fast. He still does but he has slowed down a little.

[timmydough]

Hank, every time I watch one of your videos, I cannot help but make a comparison to Dr. Crane from the Bale-Batman movies.

[silverturtle14]

i can't stop rewinding to 1:48. it's just too damn funny when hank goes "ne-he-he-he-erdddd fighter!!!!!!

[OneRandomLeo]

You admit reading/liking Jane Austen? You are SO jokes!

I'm reading P&P at the moment 8-D

[desaimaa]

the kid at 1:46 is my hero.

[kittykat29]

Truly Outrageous reference sounds like Jem and the Holograms from 1987~ >>;

[AZproductions117]

I WAS THE ONE WHO BOUGHT ELSEWHERE!!!

:O

[HPwrocks]

is kathren a austen nerd!

[ikillinnocentpie]

That valentine is brilliant.

[kittylady8]

So I realize this video is two years old, but I'm gonna comment anyway :P When Hank was listing off the things people bought and one of them was "Probability and Statistics for Science and Engineering", I said to myself, "I own that book". And I felt truly nerdfightastic.

[delusionaldiminutive]

Ahhh! My professor wrote "Nerds, Who They Are and Why We Need More of Them" David Anderegg FTW!!! He is quite possibly one of my favorite nerds.

[BrutticusForce]

I didn't like that book too much. Ginny didn't have a lot of personality.

[coloratura42]

The Mr. Darcy Valentine sort of made my life. EPIC WIN!!!

[LisaShare]

I read 13 Little Blue Envelopes!! It was good. And Elsewhere!

[xxcpxx]

LOLL If my boyfriend gave me a photoshopped picture of Darcy, I might first bust out laughing then I would take him straight to bed. Or just do him right there.

[xoiheartmangosxo]

It's every woman's dream to find her own Darcy. You just made that dream come true. Good job not forgetting to be awesome.

[feitocomfruta]

I must say, the only change I would have made to this video is the say nerdfighters in the same melody as the inter-review music for Reading Rainbow.

[10thAveNluvr]

GAHHHHHH!!! I LOVE YOUR VALENTINES CARD TO KATHERINE! yeah, i would most definitely be one of those Jane Austen loving nerdfighters. we're the best kind. you win 100,000 points for that inspired card, just so you know. you pretty much won that contest i just created. nice job.

[amandertot]

Hank Green Darcy!!! YES!!! My husband needs to learn from this...

[guinivereXbloodgood]

Yeah i definitely asked for Dark Lady of DNA, the biography of Rosalind Franklin for my 18th birthday,

[Ftmark1]

INPORTANT

That valentine's day card, the one from 1987, is a Jem and the Holograms joke. NERDFIGHTERS.

Hank, or John, if you see this and didn't already know it, please mention it sometime.

[ElmoMcjagger]

jane austen valentine FTW!!! that literally just made my day :D

[colinmochriesbuddy]

You should take pride in the fact that your smile at :57 makes a sound. Smile sound is rare.

[trapjohnson]

1:46 for freakin AWESOME Gravity PWN!!!

[Mariswimmer7]

I wish I read more books. We never have any good ones, and I've read all the ones I have. My whole entire Christmas list is filled with books. :P

[Ftmark1]

BECAUSE IT IS JEM! OUTRAGOUS

[cellolover123]

Hank, that is the most amazing valentine ever. That is awesome of you. :D Katherine's so lucky.

[LoveShiaGDSN]

Pride and Prejudice ftw <3

[RitchyWolf]

The author of Nerds: Who They Are and Why We Need Them is my current psychology professor in college! He is great!

[MrsAnneWentworth]

I reallize this is out of date... BUT HECK YES I AM A JANE AUSTEN NERDFIGHTER!!! WOoT Woot!

[nerdboy32121]

just realized that almost the entire new Intro is made of punishments.

[sketchbookcreeper]

LOL! if i ever got a valentine like that I'd probably laugh so hard I'd cry :D

[RADGRL8]

OMG!

i <3 Jane Austin

and Mr. Darcy has been kicking Edward's sparkly but for the past century!

[DancingBandGeek]

I read that book this Christmas andd it was quite spectacular. My sister read it too and loved it as well. Have you ever read Scrambled Eggs at Midnight? You should because it's equally wonderful.

[qqzzbb22]

hang of course there are jane austen nerd fighters!!! i love the card and although the movie isn't as good as the book, that movie comes extremely close!

[xxjools093xx]

hahahah the mr.darcy valentine :D

[FutureMarine246]

maybe v-day 1987 is her birthhday

[thegirlinthatbox]

i read nerds who thay are and why we need them : )

[thecoolone42]

[SpiffyKidVids]

Mr. Darcy=Hank?

WHOA!

Love the cards.

[BITB91]

WHOA! Fraggle rock XD

I own every season!

[punkslilncs]

So frikking awesome... are any of the girl nerd fighters not jane austin fans?

[cristialana123]

its spelled jane austen, not austin

[punkslilncs]

OMG I miss spelled her name... she is gonna come back from the grave and haunt me. ~rolls eyes~ Do get pleasure out of pointing out others flaws?

[cristialana123]

oh please, mellow down on the attitude, because i dont take that crap. just felt that someone as notable as jane austen should have her name spelled correctly. and also, what's so bad about being knowledgeable. better off that you now know how to spell her name, and become less ignorant.

[angryenglishgirl]

*clap*

[bananaspliz]

OMG sweetest Valentine ever! I <3 that Darcy picture

[senorsqueakydesk]

Nerd Creeper!!! Not really, but kind stalkerish.

[sometimesascientist]

I've been trying to get my boyfriend to read Jane Austen for almost the entire three years we've been together! Ugh!

[cfrye2011]

i LOVE 13 little blue envelopes!

[adihiedler]

ahahaha MR DARCY FRESH FROM THE LAKE.

[DittoFreak]

Comment 267:

NerdFighting Mr Darcy.

DFTBA!

[musicalmal]

Jane Austen Nerdfighters!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!

[thegrrtiger]

OMG! Mr. Darcy! That is the best quote from the book. Nicely done.

[PerfectlyFlawed8]

God, I need a boyfriend who sends me Jane Austen references in his valentines. That's just amazing.

[cr2640a]

that last picture made me laugh for 5 minutes.

and it's especially sweet because i just watched a video where katherine says she is obsessed with pride and prejudice.

[xxdramatic27xx]

hahah i read that! why did he read that?

[yuth695hg]

I read the book! But I thought that it wasn't that entertaining :)

[vulcanbirdbrain]

[BogapeJane]

My schedule conflicted with AP history so I'm in stupid people history, but I still want to take the AP test, so I bought a couple of AP US history textbooks. Nerdy enough story?

Well it's that or the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

[Kaylee1038]

JANE AUSTEN!

... Yeah. I love Jane Austen.

[TobiSkye]

Hells yeah!!

(DFTBA)

[maskeddevera]

Brilliant Jane Austen nerdfighter valentine for her! Also, I loved finding out what nerdfighters buy on Amazon. Amazing.

[silverwing2332]

I love the books that fellow nerdfighter bought! I still need to read 13 little blue envelopes, I also still need to read a lot of other stuff, but I am currently trying to finish some Cabot series (that are pretty good, not fantastic) and vampire diaries. And now I have to remember to read Elsewhere.

[kimmieloveheart]

oh man, that mr darcy/you valentine was exceptional. i lawled.

[dude33369]

why is v day 1987 sara, lmfao

[chiquitabanana]

i have that probability and statistics book!! :D

[unoriginallywitty]

AWW.

Jane Austen Nerdfighters, UNITE!

[swanlilly]

yay for Jane Austen nerdfighters!

[Halster310]

Hank sounded like Caboose from RvB when he said "Valentines Day" XD

-Halle

[51320044]

perhaps she was born in 1987 on valentines day

whereas I was born in 1988 on valentines day :)

[SkylerYAOI]

ur hair looks funny.

[Simplentertainments]

Do you really talk that fast or did you speed up the video?

[spacecase625]

He once said that he does so many takes that he eventually just has it down so, he doesn't need pauses I guess.

[elia19]

nice card, hoped she like it :)

[VioletPolaris]

Oooh, Mr. Darcy!

[zbridged]

You make a very handsome Mr. Darcy, Hank.

[supersexysix]

i freaking looooove fraggle rock!!!! good christmas memories

[cLeAnPLasticSun]

I find hank more fun to watch, but I empathize more with John.

[LindseySubtlyInked]

Tell me, have we figured out why V-Day 1987 yet? No? Yes? Nes? Guesses?

[hXbradshaw]

Ah! I'm a Jane Austen Nerdfighter! Loved it!

[Symeria15]

me too! =D

[thechamberpots]

UGH!!!I bought the wrong Elsewhere book!!! I bought a book about the afterlife!

[speede179]

I actually read the one that you're talking about awhile back and liked it. haha. I hope that you got the right one though.

[Atradoxelli]

I love Mr. Darcy

[veryfierydolly]

Hank is the best!!!

[unicorncake]

"so that you can get it in hand and be ready to read it for those two weeks next.. OO!" i love the OO!

[ThatOneGirl96]

Stealing MY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!

[missmcrgirl]

in English please. . .

[rainbowmuggle]

Jane Austen nerdfighters!!!!

^_^

[meganhibner]

i love the jane austen valentine!

[bracelet123]

i like your brother better...

[xtorrantx]

Hate to agree with a negative comment...but I gotta agree with bracelet123

[bracelet123]

sry i didnt mean 2 say that!!! i was IMing someone, and i typed in the opposite thing, and i was being carcastic.... sry!!!

[goldfinger88]

I like John more just because I identify with him better. And that's not to say I hate Hank in any way. Most people putting negative marks on comments probably have a favorite. I think they don't make it known just because they don't want to seem "non-nerdfighterly," but I assure you that for every person that says one brother is their favorite, there's another that says the opposite.

[mjmurdock]

Hahahahaa... That was one of my favourites movie-book quotes from Jane Austen!!!!!

[crazyhpchick]

Jane Austen Nerdfighters... are simply awesome.

[Clareymare]

Haha....JA nerdfighters ftw....

[whitemistfalls]

I Love Elsewhere. my boyfriend gave me that book as a gift when I was like 13 and it's still one of my all time favorites!

[Alexhasgoneinsane]

Ah! Favourite Jane quote!

[dearxjamie]

THERE WAS A BOSTON AREA NERDFIGHTING GATHERING!? AND I MISSED IT!?

Woe is me. Seriously. I came into this too late for my own good :(

[hollythemonkey]

i love him!

[thepoetsandme]

jane austen nerdfighters! woot!

[MelodyofMagic]

woot woot! plus one for you!

DFTBA!

[jrod716]

i think maybe that lady who put 1987 on it was born v day 1987 maybe

[turkolicious]

bravo on the valentines day card for your wife. bravo.

[mel2m]

HAHAHA...thank you from a Jane Austen NF! Laughed really (and surprisingly) hard there...

[deadXDsmiley]

The smile at :58 was priceless.

[shoty919]

[zsadist101]

I love Jane Austen!

[Hydrobuckeye]

I have recently watched all of the Brotherhood 2.0 videos (all of them), and am please to find out that you are also a bird lover. I have a question for you:

What is your favorite bird, and if we were to model our political system after its behaviors, how would it improve the nation?

[notaclareintheworld]

Who are these Boston Area Nerdfighters and why did I not know about them? I am also a Boston Area Nerdfighter!

[HoshiTski]

Your valentine is jokes!

Mine had macaroni glued to them.. cooked macaroni.. well, not technically really exactacally. But next year they will. And next year I'll send you one!

[KRSONMar]

I heart your valentine to Katherine!

[beckyboo900600]

hehe!!! FUNNNNY! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH1 and no it isn't a scream. I just happen to like the letter H

[MeandPhobie]

I love you v-day card to Kathrine!

[nanawashere]

woohoo! go nerdfighters~! xD

[fossilizednell]

I was wondering since you guys know her, if we could submit questions for Maureen Johnson?

I don't want to post my questions here because they may contain spoilers.

I really enjoyed the book by the way.

[sk8terchick555]

i wont forget to be awesome, dont worry!!!!!

[Jesska994]

i should have thought to send hank and john v-day cards.

[strdstgrl]

Fraggle rock rules

[traybroken]

<3 Love it as always.

[sk8terchick555]

what does "<3" this mean?

[traybroken]

Its a heart like I <3 Nerdfighters! : )

[RandomHero492]

its a heart, <3 see it ?

[sk8terchick555]

everybody keeps telling me that!!!! nobody has to tell me anymore!!!

[crazycaryl15]

It's a heart. Heart = love

[sk8terchick555]

[jrib2001]

Yeah I had no idea what that was, A HEART! I thought it was a tushy ;}

[sk8terchick555]

[elocoetam]

Wow...it's like a breath of fresh air!

[kittyeggrolls]

i keep getting drawn to vlogbrothers videos, so i finally decided to subscribe.

nerdfighters!

[MewChiyo]

your videos are awesome!

but u have to much caffeine! talk slower!

[mizzuniquechick]

thats so true

when i read it i was like man i want to go to europe so bad now lol i still do hehe

[kiyoshi85]

y0u ebi7 hax0r!

[fuzzledcherry]

RE: "You are truly outrageous, V-Day 1987"

That is a blatant reference to the 80s TV cartoon Jem. You know, Jem and the Holograms? AWESOME.

--Aimsly

[kmpiper10403]

Wow: I wouldn't have gotten that reference either, and I remember watching Jem. I have to give credit. . .to remember that is quite nerdfighterly. :)

[LizzyLuWh0]

My boyfriend, who is in fact a nerdfighter as well, did not get me a Mr. Darcy valentine and you have caused an upset between us. Thanks.

[cynicalkitty]

If Colin Firth and Hank had a son...interesting. It was a sweet valentine, though.

[Cin3ris]

LOL I love your stress after you the engineering book mentioned LOL

[vlogbrothers]

I don't think you understand what he was doing. If you bought a book through our link, we knew what the book was, because we get paid a few pennies for it. That's all. The idea that it's "spying" was a joke; everyone who bought a book through that link knew they were doing it through an affiliate link (or at least everyone who knows anything about internet commerce). We don't know who bought what books, so we can't invade anyone's privacy. -John

[amakun]

Haha, the Austen valentine is awesome.

[StephHasArrived]

oh my god... i absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­HOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOVVVEEE YOOOUUUU
