August 10th: Bears!!!!

[2gigapuppies]

I have those Christmas ornaments!

[staytuned2L337]

its funny, because your reaction to THINKING about eating a blenderized happymeal, is exactly the reaction of you ACTUALLY eating one xD

[DeSmurfen125]

Humpy bear! :D

[pokethekittycat]

Watch out for Bears!

[Suzidoodle]

John, did you PLAY basketball at UAB? Or are you just supporting UAB basketball?

Also, as someone who is engaged in a romantic relationship with a man who thinks he is a bear, I can tell you bear love anything having to do with bears. They do not care how cute the bear things are. (For the record, he doesn't actually think he's a bear, but he DOES actually really love bears.)

[AFIfreak4life1]

WHERE IS THE PICINIC BASKET?

[BethTheBubblyGirl]

I'm stuck at home sick so I'm spending my day watching old videos of yours :D Makes me feel better :)

[LachrymoseMelon]

"a stuffed bear in a little wicker chair." That rhymes! :)

[irisnerdfighter]

Seriously, the underestimating of nerdfighters gets alot further then 200 people (vidcon, the 4 planes are just 2 examples )

[InfiniteBox]

At first I thought the bear started swinging on its own, and got really freaked out. Then I noticed the cut.

[SuviLove]

what does vistacular mean?

[g2theIrishPianist]

@SuviLove Like, a spectacular view or vista? It's a sort of neologism.

[ColoredGrayscale]

I'm a bear. PUT YOUR HEAD IN MY MOUTH.

[Tartarugamaus]

the Swing bear is cute :)

[devonriley415]

JOHN BLINKED!

[FantasticBlueGirl]

I just got back from camp, and during a trip up the mountain our counselor told us a bunch of stories involving him and bears. I love this.

[razzo3456]

never underestimate nerdfighters? you've only been doing that for the last 4 years, John...

[19Ginger90]

decreasing world suck? with eating a happy meal? bad joke.

[MrZacharyHewitt]

HOLY SHIIT HE BLINKED

[AnotherWhisperer]

Question: What kind of bear is best?

[georgiathekiwi]

@AnotherWhisperer Black bear. Fact: Bears eat beets. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

[AnotherWhisperer]

@georgiathekiwi You just made my day lol.

[catrulerofdeath]

I was going to say that angering bears is comparably unpleasant to angering the tea party, but that comparison is not true for three reasons: the tea party will get angry for no reason, bears are much more reasonable, and bears are much cuter. Of course, when I mention the "tea party" here, I am referring to the embarrassing sect of Republicans who have lost their cognitive abilities and not a group of young children who, while sometimes unreasonable and cruel, will usually maintain their ideals

[emilycaroline9]

"I am not a little guy that swings in a swing! I am a huge 500 pound animal! My claws could tear out your heart! I like to eat berries! Lots of berries!" hahahaha

[TheFourOfClubs]

"Let that be a lesson to you, never underestimate Nerdfighters."

I'm not sure 2007 B2.0 version of John realizes the weight of this statement.

[skittles1800]

I'm pritty sure that waxing your arms would hurt a lot more than waxing your legs, ever get PVA glue stuck on your arm hairs? PAIN.

[meggyloox3]

He pronounces it "bear-ees" instead of "berries".

[crazyJ6245]

@meggyloox3 Ummmm.... to me, bearees and berries are the same. How am I supposed to pronounce it?

[StrangerWithAHat]

OMG HE BLINKED!!!! 0:48

[pienkunicorn]

I can't believe you did that to yourself. Blenderized Happy meal. I also feel like gagging everytime I think about you doing it. Eeew. Love the straight face when you said "looking forward to it."

Dear John. I also think you underestimate the pain of waxing legs. Girls keep doing it cause we endure all sorts of redicoulous things to conform to societies ideas of beauty. And also becasue it stops hurting after a while. But the first time will hurt.. a lot.

[SketchyVal]

Fun fact: I was probably touring Appalachian State University when you were there, so long ago. My priorities were obviously horrendously skewed. Oh, and the bears aren't as bad as the bobcats. Trust me. French the llama, those things are made of nightmares and volcanic ash.

[lemonice2700]

@SketchyVal Lol That was beautiful. Nightmares and volcanic ash-- i love it!!

[cutecuppup]

@sophtup and at 2:14

[zeppelinite666]

" *hack hack*

...I'm looking forward to it."

[HBonhamCarterFan24]

Every time the bear was shown swinging, I kept thinking it was going to fall off.

[Corey5268]

I was hoping for the tattoo...

[chelsealauren2010]

Ha! UAB Basketball is great

[tramsay1027]

Dragons pwn Bears

[alikidry]

John: you're looking into your brain because you're a thinker! It's ok!

I wish I wasn't 2 years too late for this... I hope you remembered to exfoliate after the waxing!

[jaydumas23]

He blinks in this video.

[TheNavyHM]

Omg im rewatching all the brotherhood 2.0 vids and I just noticed John as on a UAB shirt... i went there!!!!

[MrBammy1]

Lol this vid is on my bday

[chocosamples]

YOU BLINKED

[Rawlyssa]

YOU BLINKED.

[littlenanita]

"Never underestimate Nerdfighters." That is the best advice ever.

[aphness]

Remember at the blogtv -athon for HPAFTW?

John reeealllly needs to stop underestimating Nerdfighters. :)

[americanmounty2]

AUGUST 10TH IS MY BIRTHDAY! 8D

[JazzBandie1]

inspiration for the black santas?

[xellos26]

Bears Not Only like to eat berries. They Also Like To Eat Fermented Apples. LOL I Have The Video To Prove It.

[Ellisaphant]

why do you call your wife the yeti?

[g2theIrishPianist]

@Ellisaphant Because in John's first B2.0 video (Jan 2nd 2007) he said Sara (The Yeti) had decided not to appear in any of the videos... I can't remember what he said exactly referring to how she is/would be like The Yeti, but the name's since stuck.

[TheRazombie]

Oh hay, your shirt...

I was just at UAB this morning to take my ACT. =D

[For those of you who don't know, UAB stands for University of Alabama at Birmingham. ^^]

[Unsatisfied17]

"its one of my thingss!"

[sailorneo]

The funeral home that we used for my grandparents has a violin motif. There are about 1000 violins in the five rooms. They've got statues, pillows, paintings, real violins, stuffed animals with stuffed violins, creepy little orchestra people with violins...It's a disturbing place.

[Tyjet88]

Bears ARE godless killing machines after all...

[mushugai]

mmm berries...

[MeTheOneth]

Actually, I expected the Nerdfighters to get you a tattoo...

[msfadingflower]

I love the shirt! Go Blazers!

[CeriLouise25]

YETI!!!

[moldypeeches]

there's a bear in my pants.....

[LilMissDumbass]

Is John wearing a 'UAE basketball shirt'!?

If he is.. then OMFG! I can't believe John Green may have possibly been to the UAE.

[prongslover77]

I love the bear swinging!

[fadedgalaxia]

Okay, so...the bear on the swing...really freaks me out. O_o

[laughingatyourface]

Two of your legs? Two of your arms?

This makes me question how many arms and legs you got...

[lrocke08]

Everyone should watch this upside down. Hilarious as it is already, it's trippy to see the bear on a swing upside down.

[125themajjixmaaan]

lots of berries!!!! lol

[Jedichickens703]

lol, blenderized happy meal...

[125themajjixmaaan]

totally.....this is one of their best

[whitefluffyhat]

"I like to eat berries! Lots of berries!"

[senorsqueakydesk]

If I were a bear, I'd be super pissed about being turned into a cute, swinging, symbol.

[tvsuicide4]

If I were a bear, I'd eat that cute swinging bear, because it's obviously possest....

WOW! That stuffed bear would be the perfect toy for the evil baby orphanage! ^w^

[lrocke08]

This is still my favourite video EVER. Whenever I'm not feeling great I watch it purely because of your bear rant. I would fear bears more but I live in the Southern Hemisphere.

[weneedharrypotter]

Now, I don't know why, but the swinging bear scares the crap outta me.

[aed5599rox]

well, at least there aren't any satanic pigs or swarms of homicidal hornets out there...yet :D

[iheartpeterpan55]

august 10th is my birthday:D

[Amiryfey]

I think you're right about the Bears...they're planning their revenge

[TheZombieFlanders]

Love the UAB shirt.

Birmingham represent! Woo!

[DittoFreak]

Comment 156:

Good God I think I would puke if I had to eat a Blenderised Happy Meal--can't wait to see you do it! :D

[NpPro93]

that damn bear on the swing freaks me out!

[BarryAldridge]

Looking for the yeti lmao. I love bears they are awesome. Bears can be dangerous. Nerdfighters are really awesome. Too late for me to help out Daniel.

[macgnarly]

hey my bday's on august 10th =D

[TobiSkye]

153 down. Gee, someone likes bears

[equuslover22]

NORTH CAROLINA!!! =]

[chaynsaw21]

"Vistacular"!

rofl!!

I thought he said "testicular"!!!

roflcopter!!

[silverwing2332]

Ahhh... I feel all nostalgic and funny inside. Yum, blenderized happy meals.  happy one year anniversary video!

[lrocke08]

This is my favourite B2.0 videos. "They can eat berries like you read about" is one of the best lines. So I am watching it for the 500th time a year after it was posted XD

[sehsiwiLa]

ew... blenderized McInedible...

[IoweUtube]

i have to give it to you John, you are really funny! Still in August, you're funny.

We'll see how it turns out in the autumn, but so far it's looking good.

Secret sibbling Jonathan.

[readingwench]

I have a feeling colbert would not like this house (the character, I'm sure the guy would love it)

good luck with that waxing. *snickers in the way only a female can)(and yes I know it's allready happened)

[TheTopic]

LMFAO. . theres even a bear on a swing =)

[impeachdubya06]

colbert would call that house un-americaaaaaaaaan

[faaestaaburrida]

Bear on a swing!

[beccamonsterrr]

I just realized that I have the same bear welcome sign at my cabin!

[thisisbrittsyou2ube]

is that a university of alabama at birmingham t-shirt? ...blazers!

[nachvornegucker]

"sometimes i wonder what my experiences would be like if i didn't mediate them all through a videocamera".

very deep comment. and it's true that this changes the way to look at things pretty significant.

even when you just go somewhere and try to take many pictures to create memories for later, the experience itself changes a lot from what it would be like without that "need" to preserve memories in more places than just one's brain.

[dannerzme]

@nachvornegucker totally

[liz768]

sorry, but i really prefer these to the nerd glasses.... not that i dont like th nerd glasses but they dont suit you

[KateReadsBooks]

Eating berries like you read about made me laugh. It was awesome, because I wasn't happy to begin with and going from not even happy to laughing my face off was a really welcome turn around. A for the day.

[regularguy5mb]

Western North Carolina has a lot of vistacular views. I'm in Eastern North Carolina, which is also vistacular at times.

That's a lot of bears.

[ChristenLeager]

there's nothing to fear but fear itself.... and bears...

that's my philosophy...

[loggeronline]

You're hilarious!

[SweetThursday108]

I love being a Nerdfighter....

[AccioTrio]

Here, here! Or, as Fred and George would say, 'ear, 'ear!

[nerdFITR]

wow, best reply comment ever

:D

[AccioTrio]

Thanks! XD

[AWillowedRose12]

You are made of awesome!!

[MissFluffy86]

Oh how much I love this one.

[Marah707]

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE US!

[fathomsdeep]

I love these videos!!

[thewindowcreakedopen]

They are so jokes.

[Pillowrath]

ahahahahahahha great job

[Ellfiria]

"i cant help but think all this cute fetishizing of bears is making the bears mad"

indeed.

[WDJWAKALOGAN]

you're funny. I like you.

[shawnpaterson]

w00t!

[kushya]

the yeti!!! yeahh!!

[peterpotter999]

P.S.

You may want to check Yahoo News frontpage.

(about Steven Colbert and Jon Stewart and how they may be getting their ideas through YouTube)

[peterpotter999]

Thirdly, I want to applaud Hank and John on their work on saving the planet. It has inspired me to learn more and to think more about what I can do to contribute in the cause to fight global warming. ("Hmmm, does that light need to be on?"

Lots of admiration and respect,

Peter

[peterpotter999]

First off, I want to say I really enjoy your videos and I want to thank you for all the work you've been into them! I've enjoyed what I've seen immensely and look forward to what's next in store!

Second, I'm reading "An Abundance of Katherine's" and love it! I plan on reading "Looking for Alaska" soon thereafter. Rock on and good luck with your current book John! *Nerdfighters!!!*

[the1whojumpshorses]

love the bear on the swing, wax a leg and arm?

[mandala04]

John, I just bought An Abundance of Katherines and I love it!

[katlady5000]

wax two eyebrows?

[batkitty357]

OMG!!! beear on swing!! so kawaii!

[TehSexahJezzica]

John, about stubbly arms, you would only get stubble if you shaved them. waxing them pulls the hair out at the root, so it'll regrow the entire hair, instead of cutting it in the middle. Also, I think Hank should make you wax your left arm and right leg (or vice versa)

<3 Jezzica!

[lindenhessen]

John, last night i tried to enjoy a hot and spicy and for some reason could not get the picture out of my head of the blenderized happy meal you'll be eating, and i thought i was going to vomit. I guess the facts that i have a weak stomach and it was 3.00am might have added to that but in any case i doubt ill be able to eat McDonalds again for a while. So if go thru with this, i must give you props cuz i think i'd rather shave my head before ever attempting to eat a blenderized happy meal.

[lindenhessen]

Good luck and keep up the good work.

[iloveharrypotter10]

I have just successfully finished An Abundance of Katherines and it was BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I laughed my butt off! It was a really great book and I'm gonna read it again!!!

[kbrosvi]

I feel like I've had a close encounter (the alien type) or perhaps more like I've had an epiphany of some sort.

I asked a question, AND was answered by no John Green. THE John Green.

It made me feel important. Cool.

Greetings from Norwegian Nerdfighter. Go nerds!

[kbrosvi]

That should have been "by now other than John Green"

[ninoskasua]

Thanks for the comment John!! See u on Tuesday!

[avatarkairi]

Oh yeah, that's right, NEVER underestimate nerfighters!

[Irascka]

hey John. Did you forget about having to lick a cat in the punishment also?

[Irascka]

lol. "wittle" bears

[kbrosvi]

Where is todays vlog? (and today it's 13.08)

[vlogbrothers]

Hank has until midnight tonight (EDT) to upload it. So it may be many hours away. -John

[garycuk]

Love the bear on the swing!

[MagonBarca]

Eating a blenderized Happy Meal actually sounds delicious. I've always thought it might be neat to liquidize all of my foods for a week or so. But first, I need to get a proper blender.

[yakmanda]

Bears eat beets. Bears....beets....battlestar galactica

[siblingforsale]

I am a nerdfighter as well - and a Potterholic.

WHOOOOOOT!

[KRSONMar]

Conpromise:wax one arm and one leg.

[omgfreakay]

HAHA I caught up to the videos :)

And dude, you SO wouldn't want to wax your arm... it hurts like HELL

[xXxMagicalMandixXx]

Today I have officially decided to become a nerd fighter. I'm quite excited about it!

Thank the Harry Potter Fandom for many nerd fighters! I found you from Pottercast and have decided to become a nerd fighter because of missxroja (aka Rosianna). Yay!

[textbookenigmatic]

Waxing arms is more painful than legs... since there's more loose skin.

Also, waxing doesn't go stubbly.

Just in case this helps you choose which to wax.

Best of luck.

[KitinupNengin]

i think you should wax nerd fighter into your legs! or onto whatever your waxing! that would be funny!

[met295]

yay I finally caught up with all the current brotherhood 2.0 video blogs =D

[Lexaaa21]

mwahahahahahaaaaaaaa

[GinaIsabel]

To quote a man who I feel is made of awesome.

"Let's face it: bears are scary. And they want our honey."

[nintendonarutofan]

LOL@ the bear on the swing!

[Millingtongurl]

NERDFIGHTERS RULE!!!!!!!!!

[toastnuances]

"They can eat berries like you read about."

I am not ashamed to put forth this: I lol'd.

[nikkiecolie]

grr.. bears. I went to a all girls camp this week and they spotted some bears and made us stay in teh cabins for two friggn' days

[PointsOfAuthority]

Not only do your videos have ownage humor and nerdfighting bears, but I have now made a custom nerdfighters sign.

"I am not a little guy that swings on a swing!"

They would probably say:

"I catch fish from the river! And my fur smells like rotten berries!"

or

"I donated to Daniel Biss! But I was really mean by doing so! .....agh!"

I could imagine a bear on a swing, and breaking the seat. He just roars,"AGGGHH! Damn you Canada!!!"

[girlwholived]

This was very amusing and Nerd Fighters are awesome!

On another note, I just began reading your book "Looking for Alaska," and it is very good! :)

[LaZ0rr]

Lol \o/ When when when when \o/

[Berthaballs16]

i HATE BEARSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pandasrmylife]

Nerdighters Rock!

[TheTrueVampireess]

BEAR SWING YEYYYYY

[aroundtheworlda]

what happy meal are you gonna get?

[helenpauline]

how about one leg and one arm, on opposite sides

[moncmurph]

does the happy meal blendy thing have to have cardboard with it or not?

[thestarscanfall]

This was my birthday blog. It was a good one.

[superdudeman467]

i think the two limbs ought to be your eyebrows

[amywithlemon]

but in truth, wouldn't you prefer to have matching limbs? i mean, i'd rather have both my legs waxed instead of just one.

[rockleerocks1o1]

i would totally eat a blenderized happy meal

[vlogbrothers]

Consider yourself thusly challenged. -John

[PlanetUnicornHeyyy22]

I vow never to underestimate a Nerdfighter.

[chewyness24]

I love John :)

[rozzy135]

lmao... ahhh, the blenderized happy meal will be fun :D

[Suplimental015]

NEVER UNDERESTAMATE A NERDFIGHTER!!

[alaya1527]

you went to a lot of effort to say nothing really of value -- thanks!

[agentaerick]

i was all ready to go and have a pro-chicago bears comment ready, but for some reason 2 guys from the ill vloging about bears failed to mention the only real important bears from the state in which you live.

get a pulse.

GO CHICAGO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!

NFC CHAMPS!!!!!

SUPER BOWL OR BUST!!!!!!!!!!

[Youlisatube]

hooooooo man...

[spectrem]

hahahaha cant wait

[guacamoleroxmysox]

I think you guys should make a CD of Hank's songs, just like they are in youe videos. I would buy it.

[Ennairam1205]

Yay! A blenderized Happy Meal, waxing 2 limbs (preferably one arm and one leg) AND licking a cat!! w00t!

And Hank, shame on you, all of us have contributed in one way or the other. You should to!!!!!
