Eating the Unicorn

[kikyo4815]

For some reason whenever I read John's tumblr username, I can't not read it like "pro-CEEDS" as in the verb instead of the noun.

Silly brain.

[Gadspy]

I'm actually annoyed John took "fishingboatproceeds" because of how amused I was to see it on my 1099-MISC.

You beat me again, John Green.

[MZZenyl]

*River Song voice* "Spoilers"

[cocaotheobromida]

(Spoiler alert: You can't kill Max Mayhem.)

[yknowthatgirl]

Spoiler. TFiOS was sent out early. But don't worry, Nerdfighters were cool about it and we kept quiet. Because y'know, we're awesome.

[mthsbandrocks]

Today, I bought a pillow pet and named it John. It's a unicorn pillow pet. :)

[saa878]

John,Henry and Hazel love Gus. :)

[troyadams19]

rofl, and another scientology add on the side xD

[LamanKnight]

I just heard "Edward Spoonhands" for the first time a couple days ago. I wondered for hours why there was this tune stuck in my head, until I started hearing the lyrics again. I think John's right; it is under-appreciated.

[withflaws]

@soobj7799 it's the true definition of love :)

[elybubbles]

Anyone else see "Is Hank Green humpy?"

WACOM TABLET IN BACKGROUND 8D

[TheRoboPlay]

click 0:01 it sounds like i'm gay

[ZachJamesFriend]

@TheRoboPlay lmao it does!

[djmordigal]

YEAH?

[TheWarnerSister]

GUS IS A BUG

THIS IS SO MUCH MORE WONDERFUL NOW

[epiphanygirlsings]

GUS IS A BUG? >> AUGUSTUS WATERS?!

AHHHHHHHHH

[Lauen324]

@epiphanygirlsings

I was thinking that throughout the whole book...

[ellencradd10]

WHERE IS THE SPOILER PLACE, I NEED A SPOILER-FULL PLACE.

sorry for squidness.

[funghost4000]

when I google tranlated it. it came up 'We do not yet know which of the unicorn will eat them'

[SluggerTeethForever]

Loved the new book. My friend and I were about the same place in the book and we were trying to figure out where each other was and who was ahead without spoiling it. ANYWAY. My English teacher introduced me to your books and I loved them!! Now it is time for me to watch every video of yours possible.

[Niekpas1]

OF COURSE! You lived in my home country for 2 months a couple months before I find out about you.

[funfuz]

@Niekpas1 I discovered him because he made a Thoughts from places video from Bruges. This meant I was sadly not there, when he was in Belgium :(

[markieniemanie]

You underestimate google translation, it was a perfect translation...

[TheFlutification]

Cloning charlie and ukulele at the beginning!!!

[kortezlolno]

Europe: Ya. Asia: La, caan, boy, no.

[TheWordsSpeak]

I wonder what the unicorn sentence actually said before it was mistranslated.

[funfuz]

@TheWordsSpeak "We don't who from The Unicorn will eat with us." I assume De Eenhoorn is the name of some sort of group...

[soojb7799]

"...and by 'loves,' I mean 'chews on'." LMAO.

[LolaG07]

I can't wait til John does his taxes this year, to see if he has made any money from his fishing boat.

[josephd183]

How predictive of leaking the book. Does this imply that it was intentional?

[ZephyrraArabians]

Is that.... IS THAT A WACOM BAMBOO FUN IN THE BACKGROUND?! French the Llama!

Apologies, Nerdfighteria. It appears that the same tablet model is currently sitting on my desk.

[naomierosen]

the request of not spoling is especially relevant considering some people (including me) got the book ahead of time. these 3 weeks ahead of me are gonna be tough ones.

[TempusFugitive1]

I love his face at 0:48. His face is so childishly delighted about "making a funny"! It's so adorable. :D

[GamerzNewb]

Bamboo pen tablet in background!!! :D

[IDontNotHaveAFace]

Sorry, my mouse slipped an I pressed dislike.

[brendonuriewife]

Hehe, 3:02, he's humping wheezy waitor XD XD xxxx

[Graycloak]

For my part, my girlfriend and I love the Spoonhands and generally play it at least once while doing dishes. You know, because spoons are involved at some point.

[TheSpacMen]

Pause at 2:58 and look at the bottom suggestion....

Wow... Just, wow...

[microwavedhamster202]

Hank looks like my math teacher in this video...

[SeriousCommenter]

"eating the unicorn" i bet thats not the only thing he sticks in his mouth...

[liveoutloud59]

HOLY RAINBOWS That girl in the front row at 0:02 is wearing a Cloning Charlie shirt!

She is, like, cool.

[unforgettable789]

I love Edward Spoonhands! Only now it's going to be stuck in my head for three weeks. So thanks for mentioning it~ XD

[incorrectbox]

Hey John! If you really want to eat unicorn you could always go out and get one of those swirly, multi-colored lollipops. Apparently they're called unicorn pops. Just a thought :P

[jgfmer]

I saw both cloning charlie and 117% complete tee shirts

[seradoxes]

@jgfmer ahhhh i saw that too! and i'm jealous and want both of them.

[TheFrenchmenPlatoon]

hello to all the people of nerd fighteria

i am jack, and im going to try and see if this works

me and my two friends karan and alex have been inspired by the vlogbrothers for years now, and we've starting making our own videos, and it would mean the world if people could thumbs up this comment so people can see and support our videos. it's our dreams to make it on youtube, so please help us achieve our goal :D DFTBA!!

[captaindcc]

Representing from the netherlands@@!@!@@!!@@!!@

[Tahonamaya]

Thumbs up if you went on to google translate and typed in John's dutch sentence.

[blahblahblahblah9898]

"It's gone too far."

[wazlwazl]

how high are you!

[XenoFredTM]

@LaurenAnyone I NEED THESE EPISODES Spread it around

[emmaissocoollike1]

was the unicorn a special order?

[LeticiaSantana12345]

...I spent the entire time thinking the nerfighters in the beginning were saying "Good morning Hank, It's Monday" wierdly when they're actually saying it's Maandag. Oh.

[IonaIsEpic]

was the building at 0:05 in brugge town square? cos if it is then ive been there!!!!

[zoladzish]

But if you ate the unicorn (including the blood) you would only be living a half-life, you'd be on Voldemort's level D:

[NMHOP123]

cloning charlie shirt at the very beggining!

[sUNNYdEE553]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THE MOVIE. I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOUR BOOK AND SAW THAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE MOVIE RELEASED IN 2008 AND THEN IN 2010 AND NOW IN 2013!!! PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THE MOVIE, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE BOOK.

[1031jag]

I just remembered I have Zombiecorns on my computer... I really need to read that.

[TomBTV1]

You look like Forrest Gump with that haircut.

[blondemeanie]

instant follow for all three oh yeaaaaaaah

[Gaaraismyboytoy]

OMG the unicorn.....:D

[waytooamy]

39 people don't know which of them will eat the unicorn

[SHALYN8]

So I was just at my mom's house for 18 days and I wasn't allowed to watch any youtube videos, and the second I got home I set my stuff down and watched this. I feel better now. :) I also made a few new nerdfighters by writing DFTBA everywhere I could.

[saikogrrl]

I want to know what they actually meant with eating the unicorn!

[Joy2U801]

the thumbnail of this video made me think that the entire video would be of John singing "endless love". or at least lip syncing.

[fallingfourever]

Was I the only one who read that as Edward's Poon Hands as opposed to Edward Spoon Hands?

[shamefulpancakes]

john, stop making your vlogs 10x better than hanks please

[ThatBassistGuyJ]

my favorite part is 0:23 - 1:22

[456RLW]

Anyone else see the Cloning Charlie t-shirt? 0:01

[thatsthecrazyone]

@456RLW Did you also see Alex Day's shirt diagonal from that? I did.

[ProffessorOfWinning]

nice suit :D

[ProffessorOfWinning]

nice suit :)

[oforth]

should have known someone would have already made a square root of 4 image...any chance that's on a shirt yet?

[TMParrish2011]

This video made me laugh out loud. A lot.

[xxshekinahxx]

That sentence about the unicorn is actually exactly what it says in Dutch. Perfect translation.

[tttt637]

Imagine John's response to ke$sha's blow mv

[sccrgod1]

"It's like a jellyfish on acid drinking tea with a unicorn" vote for it!

[jac0bxD]

You hate unicorns??? I HATE YOU!!! xD

[TheOhfishes]

Does anyone else keep reading edwardspoonhands as edward's poon hands?

[BlueSkyes17]

but edward spoonhands is one of my most favorite songs by Hank!

[froregon]

But if you drink unicorn blood, you will have to drink unicorn blood FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!

[MissWinged]

I just finished an abundance of katherines, and john your books only get more brilliant. However my favourite will always always be paper towns, but still realllly looking forward to your next book!

[EmoOnTheInside123]

It's never unclear who will eat the unicorn.

Hank will eat the unicorn.

If it is served in the form of a uni-corndog. ;)

[noremacsirref]

@EmoOnTheInside123 but if it's a newborn Hank will drink its blood

[SkateAndCheerGirl]

@EmoOnTheInside123 ahhh! double negative D:

[sandstormstarlett]

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait...John, is that Bruge??

[starywind]

This is the only video i've ever seen where the ratio of likes to dislikes is so high that i can't even see any red in that color bar thingy.

[Numse88]

The unicorn part is too funny :D

[SkiSkiAlaska]

Bamboo fun tablet =]

[AuntEon]

Can we get an explanation for the decapitated parrot print behind you?

[MakeMeIsaac]

just wondering, which pavillion did the yeti work on at the bienalle?

[AdorableViolet]

Did anyone else notice how much John was blushing at 3:03

[thehayleybreanne]

@harford3d No! There is no age limit. If you want to be a Nerdfighter, you are one! :D

[MiraVanMeensel]

it's actually the correct translation, but I have no idea what they mean.

I'm dutch..

[LegendOfLotte]

@MiraVanMeensel it's not the correct translation haha. It should be 'We do not yet know who from 'The Unicorn' will join us' or something like that. The unicorn being something of an organisation. (:

[MiraVanMeensel]

@LegendOfLotte

haha I hadn't thought of that possibility, thought they meant some kind of unicorn shaped pie or something

[12guitargirl10]

THumbs up if you typed We weten nog niet wie van De Eenhoorn mee zal eten into Google translate!

[harford3c]

I've recently realized that many Nerdfighters are teenagers. Does Nerdfighting have an age limit?

[beergutguy1010]

@harford3c of course not

[Mylifeofdragons]

I tried the same thing on Google translate and got "We do not yet know which of the Unicorn will eat meal." Google, why must you starve some unicorns but feed others,also, why can't you, if you're going to give us a weird/wrong answer, why can't you be weird/wrong consistently?

[orillshaveitforlater]

...The square root of 4 equals strawberries?

[mychemcutie723]

i'm very disappointed in myself because the only book i have read of yours is Paper Towns. must...read...more...

[TheLizGang]

SNAPE KILLED DUMBLEDORE.

Sorry, it slipped...

[taraseguin]

@TheLizGang LIES! :-)

[iluvchoccies11]

who really lo... lov...... like each other :L

lol

[adrianejsm]

Edward Spoonhands is actually one of my favourite Hank songs. With the exception of "This Isn't Hogwarts"

[celdranz0n3]

john : yeah?

[Invincible117]

I do not know foreign language

Google translate helps me manage

It told me to eat the unicorn

Which left me a bit forlorn

For u’corn blood brought back you-know-who

And he killed wizards – don’t say who!

Because of this I had to pass

Instead I ate delicious sea bass.

[emilyhyang]

@Invincible117 Sir, you are an inspired poet.

[YouGottaBeJokingz]

@Invincible117 It took me far too long (about a minute) to realize that this was a poem, and not some sort of weird, google translated piece. I was confused. Then it made sense. This is brilliant. Thank you for being amazing.

[puertorrriquena]

@Invincible117 awesome poem

[MercuryIcePrincess]

i ike the jacket :) also i dont get the fishing boat thing!! someone explain it to me!! i've only been a nerdfighter since 2008!

[seralovessoccer]

i LOVE LOVE LOVE the way you say wizards. 1:18

[00Yahiko]

Anybody else think "River Song!" When John said spoilers? Eff yeah, Whovians!!!

[TyTheRegularMan]

iZiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[LTheFireUrchin]

Shirt Jacket combo is a win

[rcnrcn927]

You haven't decided punishments.

[jayjacobsen]

i just finished looking for alaska, and apart from finding many foils of my own life in it, i found it to be one of, if not the single greatest, books i have ever read. you are a splendid author and there is no better book for a recent high school graduate to read. i have no other means of conveying this message to you, so i dearly hope you read this comment and know that it has made me simultaneously excited for college and sad to leave high school. it helped me reach a welcomed epiphany.

Gosh after my computer prematurely exploded i was unable to watch your vids. After obtaining a new youtube handling computer i have started watching all the ones i missed (quite a many because i was computerless for 4 months). but thank you for being awesome and giving me a boost through some quite difficult days.

[NewMusicFan91]

Sometimes I watch a few of your vids in a row and they don't really entertain me and I Sorta get a little bored, and then you make a vid like this and I'm reminded of why I'm a nerdfighter. Yeah?

[paramore19961]

did anyone else see the cloning charlie shirt?!

[sharneyzoe93]

@paramore19961 this is a late reply but i did see the t-shirt and the alex day 1 on the right middle :)

[scarface12347]

[OneSourGrape]

[RoseofSharon321]

Oooo there was almost a love in there. LOL

[Englishgrlverity]

This is the first of your videos that I have seen and I have no idea what you're going on about here, but I liked it anyway and will probably watch more simply for the Harry Potter reference.... = )

[TraningSword]

If you want ideas on how to do spoilers, take a hint from TvTropes.org

[SarahRamonexxx]

I <3 edward spoonhands, it is in fact my 3rd favourite hank song(:

FISHING BOAT PROCEEDS xD

Oh man, what a throw back.

[austincaseys]

I'd love to turn Gus Is a Bug into an ebook :)

[austincaseys]

So what's the difference between a preface and a foreword anyway?

[jippert85]

John, I am at eighty-seven days before in "Looking for Alaska" and I am thoroughly enjoying your writing and the story. Having only watched your youtube videos until now, it's neat to hear your voice in print. Seems I have a few more of your books to read. Keep up the good work!

[TongueFu3410]

@jippert85 get reeaaddyy!!

[Dramaismyife]

@jippert85

Looking for Alaksa and Paper Towns (read that next, if you wanted a suggestion) will change the way you shaped the way you see humanity. Well, it did for me.

[Hanalyt]

@jippert85 Looking for Alaska was fantastic!! Give his new one, Will Grayson, Will Grayson a try! I have a feeling you will love it just as much as I did!

[beefygoblin]

This is like a call for spoil trolling.

[minibubblesxox]

does your wife know you call her "the Yeti"?

[peachyrandomness]

And by "loves", I mean "chews on".

[ixshelle]

Who told Google that 'unicorn' is a proper noun? Is there something we don't know?

[Shoomski]

Someone needs to write hank/john wincest.

[alt0dos]

@Shoomski if by "needs to" you mean "should absolutely not do so under any circumstances"

[ArisuUsagawa]

@Shoomski You're joking, right? Ew.

[museworkings]

If it's left out over night, will it spoil?

[Clementinia]

Reciently started in this youtube vloging-nerdfighter spirit, and I love it! I jut wanted to tell you that there's something really huge going on in Spain, it's really amazing, I was wondering if you could mention it (if you are in agreance) in you vlog...because we really wish to spread the word and change! - In Barcelona Futbol has been given more importance than liberty. I have very little voice, but I see how big the youtube comunite is and how big you are.

Thank you, I'll keep watching.

[RebeccaLovesBooks]

Thanks

[mherb25]

[TreinTeLaat]

'De Eekhoorn' (The Unicorn) is the name of a Company, the sentence in Dutch means :" we don't know whom of 'The Unicorn' will eat with us"

[Chippiej]

@TreinTeLaat I think you mean 'De Eenhoorn'.

[TreinTeLaat]

@Chippiej yes :)
