  • actualy dip shit im pritty sure they do have a pro derby secket and u sound like a dumb ass if it wasent for u it would b a good video WITH OUT YOU stop singing you suck ass

  • I'm reading the comments on this video and I just have to say: I love you, Nerdfighteria.

  • Two things.

    1-Demolition Derbies look like Extream Bumper Cars for adults. XD

    2-I love how there's so many Shakespearean Insults being directed at the haters from the Nerdfighters. X3 I should lean some myself.

  • It's funny how all hater comments are either amazingly misspelled or something like "gay" or "nerd". FYI, he is married to The Katherine and we call ourselves nerdfighters. =]

  • @tapoutbitch1  Thou droning shard-borne hypocrite! Keep thine spleeny pox-marked coxcomb thoughts to thyself!

  • i love seeing hater comments on these videos becasue then you get to read all the awesome nerdfighter comebacks

  • @tapoutbitch1 if you don't like him you don't have to listen to him for all I care you can pretend Hank doesn't exist. So stop be a giant squid of anger and stop being made out of pure suck.

    I'm not trying to be mean but please respect what other people enjoy.

  • @tapoutbitch1 Thou odiferous hasty-witted lewdster. Your means are very slender, and your waste is great. Come, come, you talk greasily; your lips grow foul.

  • @tapoutbitch1 thou craven rude-growing coxcomb! your virginity breeds mites, much like a cheese, and thou hath not so much brain as ear wax.

    .

  • @tapoutbitch1

    Thou goatish flee-bitten fustilarian! You can't even make up a proper insult! "Dick Breath"? how about next time you be more creative! Some Shakespearean maybe? Or even better, don't say anything at all if you're not going to say anything nice, than don't say anything! Tottering unmuzzled malt-worm!

  • @tapoutbitch1 It's funny because he's a professional musician, and you're one of the people paying him by watching his video and commenting.

  • get rid of the knob itll be a good video

  • this guy is an idiot, there actually is a professional demolition derby series...its on espn2...fuckin idiot...

  • @TheRescueFirefighter

    Oh yeah HE'S the idiot (sarcasm)

  • @TheRescueFirefighter

    As John once said, to be able to call someone an idiot you have to have the capacity to know the difference between an idiot and someone who is smart, I am not convinced that you do know the difference because you are insulting Hank Green, who coincidentally is the most made of awesome person ever!!

  • Kids are too damn lazy to build a car to crash nowadays thanks to ps2 xbox xbox 360 ps2 ps2 nintendo wii etc. They'd rather sit inside get fat and pretend that they're smart. You never see a bookworm setup a car by themself, just watch the louis theroux episode on "demo derby driving". Lmao

  • To think an eco geek would like the demolition derby. Isn't just car driving around and crashing into each other for entertainment? Yes, carbon emitting cars.

  • @TheNextSimonC I can imagine that the thing he likes about demolition derby is that in the end those cars will be, well, demolished for good and then there'll be a dozen of carbon emitting cars less... but it's just a guess of mine. (Sorry, if my english is not that correct.)

  • At the end of that video I was distracted by Watership Down in the background. eclectic book collection.

    Well, I've eaten deep fried oreos, I just need to find a demolition derby, I don't know of any happen around where I live

  • @Martheworld You poor thing! How do you survive????

  • @SHALYN8 How do I survive what? Eating deep fried Oreos or having never seen a demolition derby?

  • @Martheworld Never seeing a derby! I've never actually tried a deep fried Oreo.

  • @SHALYN8 They were just never a part of my world growing up. I considered them to be akin to a myth of Americana. Like tourist traps, burning trash, collecting rain water to use and other things that just aren't from my realm of existence. As an adult I know that these things exist and pole do them, just not necessarily near me. Demolition Derbies are things I heard about in TV shows and in movies.

  • Demolition derbies have become a part of my very soul. The "batmobile" won the last Derby I attended. It was awesome!

  • those machines pwn noobs* as well

    *youtube pwn noobs are both words

  • Where I live...we have redneck lawnmower demolishion derbys. We don't even need the excuse of a fair! They're just held at the race track like, once a month!! I shit you not o^o

    Oklahoma is insane.

  • this so gay

  • @monsterpickles you carcass fit for hounds!

  • @monsterpickles you mangled work of nature, you rank weed waiting to be rooted out!

  • My brother ever since he could get into the derby, he was in there, last year was my first year in and i won the first round (video on my channel if you would like to see)

  • I swear derby should be pronounced "darby"...?

  • I ♥ Demo Derbies. If I could find a guy who would sing me a song about derbies (and preferably take me to a bunch, maybe let me be in one) I'd totally marry him on the spot. I love Hank so much more after this song. :D

  • So there are things that I love more than men in nice clothing, but there aren't a lot of them.

    They should dress up more often.

  • Can you drink and drive if you're driving in a demolition derby? I mean, it's not like you're afraid of crashing....

  • you have no god damn clue what demo derby and do you even run in them cause if not yo u are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CLUELESSS if anything i know what they are cause i run every year DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • "Demolition Derby *MOTORCROSS INTERMISSION*"

    I am dead.

  • My demolition derby is a rodeo now ;-;

  • anybody wonder why demo derbies are far from their hayday?? CAUSE THERE ARE FEWER OLD CARS

  • u f00ckin knob

    

  • hes annoying

  • @loveSc7 You stuffed cloak-bag of guts! Don't talk that way you mad-headed puke stocking!

  • @loveSc7 Your comment and general attitude are both made of fail. I'm sorry that you're such an angry person. Cheer up. You too can enjoy life. There's probably just too much pressure on your brain from it being so far up your ass. Also, the lack of air has to suck.

  • Hehe.... They have a demolition derby every year in Lind, WA (near Tri-Cities) that features farming combines.

  • that's just NOT safe, but pretty awesome looking

  • I run the derbys and it is SOOO much fun

  • I LOVE demolition derbys. Best part of the fair ever. My cousins are actually in it so it's even more fun. Oh how i love fair time. It's definately the highlight of my summers.

  • @TheTwistedGypsy You suck, Hank rocks!! Hank decreases the world suck YOU bring to the world!! NerdFighters FTW

  • @TheTwistedGypsy Hank Green is AWESOME thou tottering malmsey-nosed malt-worm!

  • as far as songs go and being that ive watched all your video in a fairly short period of time, this song is probly you best performance up till this time the last video i watched ... definately a huge improvment

  • OMG is that watership down in your bookshelf?

  • What the heck is that song?

  • hard rock no country !!!!!!! for the demolition

  • dude your gay. and you must not be in the midwest. or spend to much time on your computer

  • kokot jebli nejaky

  • nerd...

  • @trews8 & proud!

  • Yep .. all deep fried .. !!

  • go fuck yourself asshole

  • I thought everyone knew about demolition derbies. x)

  • Heyday of derby is over?Are you on meth?My family has been derby for years.I got 20 years in.I did it on my honeymoon,my father in law retired after 40 years!

  • Me and my hubby derby. And I am amazed by when people ask what happened to your car? Did you have a wreck? What? Really? Yes we got into a wreck and all the windows and interior flew out! I know thats mean. But? It's been around for ever. They still are everywhere. And they money is good. Average win is a grand. And even a million dollar derby in Canada.

  • you talkin about saskatoon?

    check out my videos

  • @chrissyrk95 @chrissyrk95 wheres this million dollar derby in canada? because they rarely ever have derbys up here anymore. so would you be kind enough to tell me where it is? and the must have a website, giving that they are going to give away a million dollars. the most i know about is a 60 thousand doller derby down in the states some where.

  • in the u.k we call it banger racing

  • are you bill gates son?

  • Bumper Cars 4 REALZ

  • This is my favorite hank song

  • As much as I love demolition derbies, I've never actually been to one. I must correct that gross oversight ASAP!! For criminies sake, I'm from the South!! How could I not have been to a demolition derby!?

    Also, I think this is my new favorite song.

  • i like this version better than the one on the CD

  • 1. I have the same copy of Beowulf as you, Hank!

    2. Demo derbies are amazing.

    3. You look like a missionary in that short sleeved, collared shirt.

  • Thats so Emma and Julia. . . . .

  • What did you say when you talk ?

  • My favourite is the one with the plush duck on the window..

  • actually there is a professional demolition derby circuit, the ontario championship is in rockland oct 18.

  • hank, that was epic.~

  • I'm sorry that you all feel the need to insult someone smarter than you. And yes I do know Hank, John, most nerdfights, and myself are smarter than you because our vocabularies consist of more than five words. Oh and we know how to spell. And lastly, please get a life. Thanks.

  • somebody stop this fucking ass face

  • HANK IN A SUIT???

    I LIKE.

  • They guys I work with at the farm go to the demo derby all the time... Trevor wants to buy my car for it. Not sure how I feel about that, because I still love that '89 Sunbird, even if it barely runs.

  • This video makes me so happy :D

  • reminds me of an old pc game i have called Demolition Racer. i can picture the soundtrack for this vid.

  • EPIC! When I went to monster truck rallies with my father as a kid they ALWAYS had a demolition derby at the end. My favorite part, by far :D

  • Demolitions Derbys are AWESOME! I'm from North Carolina... that's what we do there. :P

  • They are brothers, but not twins, they're a few years apart.

  • Thanks!

  • hank and tom????? u r aweful

  • what?

  • The demolition derby was one of the highlights of our county fair-- just behind the doo wop concert I was BLESSED to be at.

    The sang a doo wop song about peanut butter.

    Mirthful tears were everywhere. It was amazing.

  • hank your the best!

  • You need to go to a Combine Demo Derby!

  • Hahaha! Great song!

  • I played a game called Demolition Derby, and it looked a lot like that :D

  • You look like the dudes that ride around preaching about Jesus from their bikes and then smoke in the alley...

  • Haha "Motocross intermission then back to the show" Great line... And thank you for the Cash for clunkers reference.

  • we have demo durbys all the time in victoria BC ...canada

    we have a guy that jumps a bunch of cars with a school bus! :D

    LOVE YOU HANK & JOHN!

  • lol dude come to riverhead raceway, SCHOOL BUS DEMO DERBIES!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Southern Illinois - we still have demolition derbies in Saline County. Maybe 5 or more a year.

  • even i knew what a demolition derby is, and im english and i dont think we even have them here xD

    noice song :]

  • I can see why you're John's third favorite band.

  • That is awesome in every way that is fair worthy

  • dude that was actually really really nerdy lol this is so jokes

  • im sorry but... i dont like watching alotta rednecks hitting a top speed of like... 15 MPH tops and hit each other

  • Dude come to kansas, demo derbies all the time.

    last month we had a combine derby. If you don't know what that is, just imagine a group of giant tractors, essentially

  • My brother used to love demolition derbies. I was dead terrified by the idea. Now I think they're awesome, but I sure wouldn't want to be in one of those death traps. Good thing the world has such brave people for our entertainment!

  • demolition derby's are like a huge game of bumper cars. i love bumper cars!

  • Who didn't know Demolition Derbies were still around? they are missing out. We should get A Nerdfighter to join one and paint the car all....nerdfight-tastic!

  • anyone know where I can get an MP3 of this?

  • HANK I LOVE LOVE LOVE GOING TO DEMOLITION DERBIES! This made me super excited.

  • search dmanx100 look for obama attacks

  • Seeing the little hank overlayed in the corner just made me chuckle uncontrollably.

  • i just noticed this song goes well with the pokemon advanced battle theme tune

  • I understand, I go to the fair every year for the demolition derby every year since i was little. ( I live in Frankfort KY) and getting excited over the derby is completely normal. What's better than ignited cars? nothing...:]

  • I'm surprised you support demolition derbies, Hank.

  • I love you Hank Green! Xx

  • haha 1:55 "good" (:

  • I think your screaming as demolition derbies are exciting. Louis Theroux makes good documentaries previous commenter.

  • ever since i was a DD on Louis Theroux i always wanted to go to one xD

  • I must say, this song sounds like a bit like "The List".

    I don't mean to be rude, but do you still "practice" guitar, or do you just "play" it? Because I noticed you seem to be using the same couple of chords frequently. Just some constructive criticism, in my opinion.

    The fair looked great by the way. I've never really been to a fair, only big amusement parks.

  • I dont see anything constructive in your post, just useless BS

  • I'm sorry you think that.

    Do you have a trained ear? I don't, so I can't tell you what specifically the chords actually are.

    Listening to both of them, I admit there are some different chords, but the rhythm is similar, and some parts of the vocals follow a similar tune as The List.

    That being said, I should probably add that it's fine if he's only "playing" the guitar, but at this stage I see no reason why he can't learn more.

    Also, I never said the song sucked, I just said it sounds familiar.

  • since when do they have to be constructive? This is youtube for gods sake.

  • Mmm. reminds of sxe phill. (18-20)

  • always glad to hear a new song

  • Witnessing more than 2, I must concur with the DD awesomeness.

  • 3:19

    I have that exact edition of "Watership Down"

    :D

  • good song, to bad there was no melody

  • Hi hank and john! It's my birthday today!

  • I'm so surprised to think that people didn't think demolition derbys were still around.

  • wow they were hitting like lil girls

  • i love this. <3

  • Hahaha, that was amazing! I still don't get it though... And what I REALLY don't get are the people in the background shouting "USA, USA"... You guys are strange!

  • I know why!!!

    It's the juxapostition of nice clean shirt & jacket set against dirt and mangled metal...

    Totally just blew your mind!

  • I just learned that word this week from my friend! I thought that would almost never come in handy...

  • I think I misspelled it. lol

  • juxtaposition... I think. :D

  • It's like bumper cars for adults.

  • What people thought demolition derby wasn't real. Great use of that green screen buddy!!! Like the jacket too.

  • I want that polaroid book in the backround it looks awesome. xP Great song, you never fail to impress.
