  • I think this is the first Vlogbrothers video that I got after I subscribed. Seems crazy that it was like three and a half years ago. Love you guys.

  • oh but the subscribe button isn't a little yellow box anymore...

  • Just mentioning this, but "fuchs" in german means fox. Hitler had a dog...named fox.

  • If you're a character on television, your lifespan is significantly shorter than a person in real life....except for that one guy who's 1103 now.

  • Walt Disney hated cats.

  • Believe me, ice isn't the coolest thing on Mars. There's a talking lion, and Pigfarts...it' mature 2nd year stuff, you wouldn't understand!

  • Monk is such a good show!

  • Hitler was married at the time of his death, she wasn't just his girlfriend.

  • MY birthday!!... ya everyone did it!!

  • Okay, I'm gonna try really hard here.

    Good morning John it's Tuesday some day of some month I HAVE SOMETHING I NEED TO GET OFF MY CHEST THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN ICE ON MARS EVERYBODY'S KNOWN THAT THERE'S ICE ON MARS AND IT'S NOT NEWS THAT THERE'S ICE ON MARS. WHY IS THAT NEWS THAT WE'VE KNOWN FOR LIKE FIFTY YEARS THAT THERE'S ICE ON MARS.

    DFTBA.

  • Holy Hell that first sentence was SUPER QUICK I NEARLY EXPLODED. O.O

  • SLOW DOWN HANK YOUR GONNA EXPLODE

  • wait what?

  • Lenin didn't open the door for Stalin to take over! His will was like 'Holy shit guys please don't let Stalin take over after I'm dead he's crazy!' (paraphrased) but they (mainly Trotsky) chose not to read the will because it wouldn't be communist-y.

  • i think my pouf is worse then johns... its a problem....

  • Fuchs is german for Fox, just FYI :)

  • HANK GREEN YOUR VOICE IS SO FAST

  • Lenin's Kitty says "Don't put me in the box with the bad stuff! I cant handle the theoritical questions involved!!!"

  • I knew he had that first dog, alot of people made fun of him and told him that they put the dog in soup

  • hahaha... 0:47 "weeeeeoooooooo" :D hahahah

  • Am I the only one who thinks Hank's videos are better then John's videos?

  • @TheAglover26 no but there are two different kinds of nerdfighters the hank people and the john people personally i like hank because he seams much nicer and alot more dorky where as john well im not sure about him

  • Nah, nah Hank. "trivia" comes from the trivium of grammar, rhetoric and logic, in contradistinction to the quadrivial arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music. Didn't know "via" was road tho.

  • Voldemort had Nagini.

    I would say that...

  • Mao was a mass-murderer, who also liked deflorating 12-year-olds. He was a pretty bad guy regardless of his pet-hating.

  • well acttually the real reasons hitler became a dictator and killed himself (as a result of guilt) is that he did not get into art school

  • How could you not think Mao was evil...? Didn't he kill several million?

  • @WackedOutNinja no haha!!!!!!!!!!!! he killed much more than several million

  • Ok so you know the Easter Vigil is pronounced like a V for Vigil? Well, the word "vigil" is Latin and it means to wait, but in Latin, v's are pronouned like w's so the Easter Vigil should really be the Easter Wiggle. sorry to get a little religeous but i thought is was funny.

  • Mau was just pissed that in Chinese, he kept being called Chairman Cat...

  • @UnknownEntryRetype sorry but his name was Mao, i'm a little OCDish sorry

  • @twihard398 Balls. I really need to read what I've written before I press post :-P Thanks for the correction :-)

  • Hank from the past, kindly tell Hank from the future he did not fail in pwning Watsky, that pale boy who raps so good, as he has already done so. In the first 12 seconds of this video.

  • So much for the little yellow box.

  • fooks, the terrier that led to the holocaust.

    sounds like a good movie.

  • HEY WTF hitler married her!!!!

    she was his wife

    deerrrr

  • So wait, Hank, are you saying that there is ice on Mars?

  • He killed all the pets? O-O

    That's so horrible I can't even put it into words. If anyone tried to kill my animals, I would attack them viciously. And if anyone tried to wipe out all the human's owners (I believe that humans are the animal's pets) I would force myself to grow a super power and go crazy defending animal rights. 

  • @ferngirltlc he was also responsible for nearly 40 million deaths. Of people, I mean. So yeah, kind of a sucky guy all around.

  • @Xstarchain No kidding.  --_--

  • THERE'S ICE ON MARS!?!?! OMG NEVER KNEW THAT!

  • If you think about it, the reason a unicycle is called such because it came after the bicycle. Two wheels become one. Perhaps thats why.

  • @totallynotmelike Your comment just made my day. GO DOCTOR WHO!

  • this vid confused me!!!

  • (Sneak Nerdfighter hand symbol!)

  • doctor evil has a cat....

  • Have fun with the starwars song :P can't wait to hear it

  • actually trivia was also the name of a greek god he was the god of the three roads, he was also known as "he who knows so much of what matters so very little

  • @freakxwithxaxpen ok, I know this is really late, but Trivia was a roman goddess who haunted crossroads, graveyards and was the goddess of sorcery and witchcraft. Her greek equivalent was the goddess Hecate. Trivia is also another name on Diana (Artemis) as the guardian of the meeting of three roads

  • @950725 thats probably acurate since all of my nolage on the greek/roman gods come from video games and cartoons but i'm also to tired to care

  • wow ur weird but smart so i cant ask u if u've ever considered sueing ur brain 4 nonsupport haha lolz !!! no idea bout star trek

  • This stuff is really interesting. I bet the guy who stole Foox just happened to be a Jew. That would explain a lot. Ah, conspiracy theories.

  • I was going to comment on how comparing the death tolls from Mao and Hitler wasn't fair because Mao was in power for 27 years compared to Hitler's 12 years... but I did the maths and yep, turns out that Mao is still proportionally more murderous than Hitler. (Stalin, however, turns out to be proportionally *less* murderous than Hitler, having killed roughly twice as many people over his 31 years in power.)

  • Had to watch the first 15 secs like 3 times...

  • Love you, hank, but 'you may think Mao wasn't that evil'? He killed over 50 million people! Just because he was scared of their politics/ religion!

  • 1337 Rating!

  • "Fuchs" means fox in german. I bet the dog was WAY less evil than hitler though. There is no way that an innocent dog could possibly be as evil as him.

    Love, your anti nazi german nerdfighter, Anastasia.

  • i knew about the other dog

  • I love the ending when Lenin's kitty says to subscribe. I wonder what its name was.

  • haha, 3:30 :) your fingers

  • Of course Mao was evil!

    I read somewhere that Mao was responsible for more deaths than Hitler (and we're not talking about Kitty deaths).

    I know you shouldn't believe everything you read but I THINK it's true and, anyway, he lied a lot.

  • why is everybody talking about mars and ice caps? what they should be talking about is the fact that pluto is no longer a planet! My friend and i were so upset about this that this past school year we had at least one hand up ALL DAY to revold against the fact that pluto is no longer a planet.

    Long Live Pluto!!!

  • you should be happy, it's an important change. It was never a planet, it's too small and it's made of ice. IF IT WAS NEAR THE SUN IT WOULD MELT!!

  • WHAT??? ICE ON MARS???

  • Next generation is the best type of STar Trek, Star Trek Enterprise was OK! But not as good

  • As much of a jerk as Hitler was, stealing his puppy was really mean >:(

  • THERES ICE ON MARS?!?!? =O

  • indeed. but it never melts in mars' summer. it simply sublimates, so mars never actually has liquid.

    . . .

    hooray for sublimation!

  • The little kitty voice was really strange and creepy.

  • I like the first two questions. Big grammar dork here, so that was interesting stuff.

  • I love you.

    :D

  • Monocycle...haha

  • Comment 300:

    Click the little yellow box...and subscribe!

    Scary voice :)

  • Tony Shalhoub!!!! :)

  • I noticed that you didn't mention the math anagrams that you asked in your question video, it could be argued that this formula is a science formula but ultimately its being used for math. "e = mc^2" has the anagram "me = c^2", this really only works for a few people, myself because my first and last name start with "c" and I don't like writing my initials "cc", so someone suggested I write it as "c^2".

    assert(humor); //C++ joke

  • At first, I was like, "wow, your math's all wrong. It should be m/e=c^2." But I could also make the argument that it's still an anagram. (And a pretty awesome anagram, at that. I wish my initials were the same so I could do that.)

  • At the begginning when you were saying "Ice on Mars" I totally had no idea what you were saying because you were taling soooooo fast!

  • Lenin tried to make sure Stalin didn't gain power. He wanted Trotsky to have power, but Stalin had Trotsky killed.... soooo that didn't work.

  • Lenin left his will saying that it was Trotsky he wanted and NOT Stalin, but when Lenin's widow came forward with the will, Stalin claimed it was a fake and the widow was promptly shut up. Trotsky ran from the country, and then Stalin made sure he was gunned down in South America (I think...)

    Just addin' ^w^ Danku, I personally don't find Lenin too terrible, he just died at a REALLLy bad time!

  • Ya you may be right about that, im going on what I remember from history class last year. Trotsky was killed in Mexico by an ice axe to the head... what an ice axe was doing in Mexico, I have no idea.

  • XDD I remember that! My sister and my dad were saying "WTH how did they get a ice axe in Mexico" and I was just staring at them like they were loons. They were actually planing out how one could get an ice axe into Mexico and kill someone. >_> I would have joined in, but I just kept looking on the outside and saying... "They're debating how to get an ice axe into Mexico... With that brain power, wouldn't it be better to figure out how Kenedy got killed here???" XDDD

  • @thevampireking21 i think that a very deep hole would have been the only way to keep Stalin out of power.

  • more evil people with cats: Number 1 of SPECTOR. and also dr. evil

  • WHOAH...you can can definetly talk faster than john...DFTBA

  • I wonder if John and Hank ever read these new comments...Hmm...

  • No no no no no, the news is that now that there's a lander there, there's not only ICE on mars, but also SNOW CONES!

  • hahaha!

    Lenin's kitty says "click the little yellow box... and subscriiibe!"

  • btw Fuchs has been americanized to Fox, my last name xD lol

  • aww haha, the kitty thing is adorable! :D

  • My friend's last name is Fuchs! (and just saying, Lenin didn't exactly leave the door open for Stalin to take over, he actually expressed in no uncertain terms that he did not want Stalin to take power. Trotsky was the one who was supposed to follow Lenin (not to say that Trotsky would have been any better), but I believe in the end it was left up to a vote of the Central Committee, all of whom were appointed by Stalin in the first place and had allegiences to him. yay Russian history!)

  • i love mars. woot!

  • Hahaha If Poirot showed up I would stay regardless of the significant danger

  • "Fuchs" means "Fox" in German, which I think is actually a cute name for a dog, you know, aside from the whole "different species" kind of thing. Maybe he looked like a fox.

  • hitler didnt take the capsuel

    he shot himself

    his gf also shot his GF just in case the capsuel wouldnt've killed her

    but the soldiers killed his dog

  • Isn't that slightly ironic? 'Cat' in Chinese is 'Mao'...

  • The ending is the reason I favorited this! ^.^ Not that the rest wasn't extremely interesting...

  • When you mentioned Agatha Christie's fictional characters Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple (Angela Lansbury having portrayed her on occasion), I was ECSTATIC!

    Yeah having a mum who loves Christie as an author, I grew up on murder mysteries on the BBC rather than Disney.

  • what on earth is he saying from 0:03 - 0:06???

    something about mars on ice

  • Basically how it is not news that there is ice on mars because we have known for like 50 years.

  • haha thanks

    i wrote mars on ice??? i totally meant ice on mars.

    wow

  • Oh, I love you right now for mentioning both Angela Lansbery and Hercule Poirot.

  • People eat cats???

  • What?

  • !!! Are you Roonil Wazlib of the WRock band of the same name?

  • Sorry, but I'm not. That would cool if I were, though. haha.

  • TONY SHALOUB!!!

  • A dog named Fox? haha

  • he he hitler was vegetarian just thought I would throw that random fact in their

  • was he really? hm. he killed millions of people for no good reason, but then decided to save a couple of cows. thats...interesting.

  • yeah i heard that hitler was a vegetarian too

    not eating meat is antisematic, just kidding

    for some reason i think it's ironic although you choosing to not eat meat is a choice that doesn't reflect on anything other than not wanting to eat meat

  • hitler had a dog named fox? i don't know why i think that's strange, as if he was otherwise a perfectly regular guy.

    oh, and thanks for the information about mao, i never knew that.

  • dogs are also a symbol of apartheid oppression in south africa

  • about murders in life and tv, there is a little island called Puerto Rico, east of cuba, that is only 100miles*35miles and is number one in murders. in one day there is 11 murders. think about it? u cant even see it on the maps.

  • I live in Texas that's just north west of there...and yeah I can...though most immigrants end up in Florida...0.o

  • i have no idea what he's saying and my head is now hurting haha

  • I'm guessing you're not a Nerdfighter (hoo-ha)...

  • Aw, he adopted a puppy! You know, he's not that bad . . .

    Wait, did I just say that? Wow, this soft spot I have for animals is getting a little too soft.

  • MARS NERD!

  • you are so cute!

    i have a thing for nerds.

    :]

  • mow?

    is that what you said?

    because if that is.

    he hates pets, but he has the name of how to say cat in chinese.

  • Hitler actually had a third dog, too. Somebody threw a poisoned steak on his residence in the mountains, the dog ate it... and Hitler got really mad. Which was bad. It was kept a secret from the public, though. He had a bunch of bunnies, too. There'S a videotape where he watches them and comments on their reproductional activities....

  • I heard that Hitler took a poison pill and then shot himself...i think i'm wrong...yeah, i'm probably wrong...

  • I heard that too!

  • My head hurts.

  • Haha. The end was hilarious!

  • haha lenin's kitty

    dftba

  • I remember reading news about ice on mars recently, but the main focus wasn't the excitement about the ice itself, but was the speculation over whether the ice was ever water.

  • You and my AST teacher are the same person.

  • I'm not wearing any socks. Why? Because you rocked them off.

  • If "foox" is spelled "fuchs" then it means "fox" :D

  • there's ice on mars?

    AAHH! WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME THAT!

    Now I feel so dumb. I really need to start watching news.

  • "...And subscribe."

    Haha, creapy :-D

  • I just watched the very first Brotherhood 2.0 video today, and it's interesting to see how much more hyper you've become.

    From: "...I can see my eye in my eye..."

    To: "WHYISITNEWSTHATTHERE'SICEONMA­RS?!"

    Heehee. xD

  • I think its quite obvious Mars once was in the same orbital postion as Earth. Just think of tossing a rock into the center of a small pond and watch objects make there way outwardly from the center, I mean look what happend to Pluto...

  • My friend just watched this with me..and she suggests that Hank talk a little bit slower. xD. I understood it all, but I can talk pretty fast my self. So yeah.

  • I love Star Trek

    ..But next generation? Seriously?

    I thought you were cool.

  • lein was not evil. He didn't want stailn to take over, in fact he warned the communist aginst leting stalin take over.

  • I am also VERY excited about the Star Trek song!

    I can haz soon plz? KTHXBAI!

    *Star Trek Nerdfighter here*

  • Oh and who is john?

  • your so hot i love all your videos i dont know what your saying most the time but i think your so cute

  • *Obeys Lennons little kitty and subscribes* hah =P

  • baha

    i thought you meant john lennon

    and i was like o.o

    but its lenin :]

  • Haha, me too.

  • Haha, great video! The mono and uni bit was interesting!

    Mao is the greatest mass murder in history =P

  • can someone please transcribe what he says between 003 and 006 ? it's too fast and it's not my mother tongue

  • "I have something I need to get off my chest- there's ice on Mars, there's always been ice on Mars, it is not news that there is ice on Mars!"

    That's what I think he said.

    I talk fast myself, so...I got most of it.

  • i talk fast too, well, i used to. but i still understand fast speech. Makes my life easier :)

  • haha, you're right, thanks, now i hear it again it sounds so obvious

  • I have something I need to get off my chest. There's always been ice on mars. Everbody knew there was ice on mars it's just not news that there's ice on mars.

    Or something to that effect.

  • didnt hitlers first dog save his life in some way during WW1???

  • I don't know if you got this answer aswell, but Time reported, in their July 7 2008 issue, that since 2005 the US Transportation Security Administration has collected $1,000,000 in loose change, that they kept!

  • yeah captain picard is so much better than kirk

  • oh no mao killed puppies!!!!! sad.....

  • I wanna speak FAST like YOUUUUUUUU!!!!

    I think Hitler's terrier's name is pronounced.....(fyooks), not (fooks)

    Good video Hank!

  • I want to be a nerdfighting puppy... I'm gold, so that's pretty awesome... but I'm scottish, does this decrease my nerdfighting chances? =D

  • AH! I should've taken a picture of this staff member at my camp! He had a shirt that said "Phasers To Stun," with a Phaser on it, and the words "Star Trek" on it! :S I thought about it but then i was like, "No. I'm not going to spend 3 dollars for that one picture." :( i really wish i would.

    Lennon's cat is awesome at the end!!

  • fuchs means fox...

  • Yes brookpluse...you are correct about he art school thing, also the five people who made it into art school instead of him were of the Jewish faith. But I am pretty sure that he was a decrolated veteran of the Austria Hungarian army.

  • This video has been reviewed by Two Guys Named Rob.

    To check out the review go to twoguysnamedrob[,]com

  • no... i think hitler turned out the way he did because he was rejected from art school AND the Austrian military.

  • i think the bongo drums in the background actually make the video.

  • oh my gosh. did you speed up your voice at the beginning, because i didn't understand a word you said :P i had to go back and listen to it 3 times before i understood :D

    it's a monocorn. lol

  • No, it's a liger. :D

    =o

  • Lenin's pretty cool. Do you think he'd like LOLcats?

  • Mao also was in charge of the Comunist oarty's movment throught China and established HUGE punnishments for raping women, altho' he raped several himself... imagine that!

  • Yeah, Lenin and Mao were already pretty evil.

    Free-Market Capitalism FTW!

  • Lenin denounced Stalin and in a letter that Stalin later confiscated, it stated that Stalin should be removed from his position as General Secretary!

  • Does he take speed lol?

  • TrickyWannabe:

    I would be afraid to see Hank on speed. I think he might swallow his own tongue.

  • Wow, it's insane how fast you guys talk!

    I always seem to learn watching your vids!

    Hitler had a huge German Shepherd. LOL

    Love the ending!

  • maybe the person who stole hitlers dog was jewish?

  • lol

  • I prefer The Original Series, so I hope you have some Kirk references/parodies included!

  • OMG!!! A Star Trek song??? YESSSSS!!!

    Captain Picard is THE BEST!!!

  • I have realised another reason i watch the vlogbroothers videoes.

    Because NerdFighters always post such informed and valuable comments.

    Sorry mine isn't informed, valuable or grammatically correct(i had because at the beginning of a sentence).

    DFTBA

  • Hank, you're so hot :3

  • YAY! Are you going to bring Q into this. Q rules!

  • Of course, at the same time they were killing all those dogs and cats (Cultural Revolution, I assume) they were killing quite a few people.

    Namsiuh, Hitler and Eva Braun were married very shortly before they committed suicide.

  • Hard to know what is real history anymore with all the info going to the net. What with genuine mistakes, coupled with purposed rewriting of electronic docs, it seems that history is what we decide it is...scary!

  • First of all: Eva Braun was Hitler's wife when they committed suicide, not his girlfriend.

    Secondly: in his will Lenin specifically said that Stalin should not become the leader of the communist party. But that will somehow disappeared shortly after Lenin died. There were basically 2 candidates for the leadership, Stalin and some other guy. Lenin wanted it to be the other guy.

    Check your Facts Hank!
