DANDY LIONS! It's Question Day

[ocelotofwonder]

LIVERPOOL!!!!

[Batspid3r]

pick almost everything except "may the small mail man take the adverb"

[HPAnimeFreak]

I feel like all these YA authors have formed some secret alliance in which they all know each other and are all best friends.

[LennanSlenton]

The Fault in our Stars would be a good title :P

[polingJames12]

When reading these comments, I like to assume that all of the comments are title suggestions for TFIOS. Including this one.

[mthsbandrocks]

Spoiler alert: you name the book The Fault in Our Stars.

[AngieDNalalal13]

@mthsbandrocks I could be wrong, but this feels like a Doctor Who reference. So thanks :)

[Rawrfearmeh333]

"I Dress Up For Christmas" - John Green

[taliby13]

My last words will be, "Death is but the next great adventure."

[yknowthatgirl]

GIANT SQUID OF EXCITEMENT! First mention of Hazel =]

[domthedomlittlefair]

I tend to but on average i don't because if you would you tend to do other stuff that can lead to not 

[Ferserious2]

John of the past, this is a nerdfighter in the future. If we ever figure out time travel (don't doubt us, we're nerdfighters) and you are able to read this around the time you posted this video, you should probably name your new book The Fault in Our Stars. Just a suggestion. DFTBA. Now get back to doing stuff from the past, I want to continue to exist, don't ruin that for me.

[PluginBaby249]

sooo.. how many bands called "the Dandy Lions" are out there now?

[Storm13Cloud]

Hot chocolate or coffee?

[dunzy1996]

Oh don't worry. It's fine to not prefer tea. People who don't prefer tea are more... accident prone... just letting you know John.

[veroniquesparkle]

You have a very well lit basement

[ninjasquid1]

wait...where did he put the phone number *pulls out looking for alaska* i cant find it.

[Rhyperiority]

@ninjasquid1 I did the same thing. Must...find...it...

[TheWarnerSister]

The Dandy Lions ARE a band! They're quite good.

[SMFortissimo]

Are your pants back up yet?

[11BowtiesAreCool11]

@SMFortissimo Yes!

[dotkill01]

how do you spell

[tabihennalovesyou]

Yes John. You should hide.

The British troops have been deployed.

[grandchildofchaos]

"I didn't end up writing a desert island novel because after Libba's I don't have to."

Yes, John, you do.

[MsSamiWami]

tfios<3

[MMartillo75]

"wait, you don't dress up for christmas, get your head outta your ass"

[benjibunny14]

YNWA hank, come see LFC play pleaseeee!!!

[MedorikoPhoenix]

"You don't dress up for Christmas, Green. Get your head out of your ass." I found this really funny for some reason. XD

[lookingformybluebox]

I'M HIDING FROM THE BRITISH PEOPLE.

xD

[sparkydoodle96]

@lookingformybluebox it's not only the brits he should be hiding from...

[gopikanimal]

John Green, Libba Bray and Sarah Dessen all know each other....I think I may just explode from the sheer awesomeness of it all.

[ellieanorable]

hahaha my mum has twins AND has broken both of her elbows :)

[VenusAdela]

Well, you posted this video in March last year...but I guess you could call it Dandelion Wishes...

[Gee1078]

Oh dear, I'm a British caffeine addict who can never pick between Coffee and Tea...

[dob1997]

....what page is the phone number on?

[NinaBlack94]

Thiswas the first vlogbrothers video I ever saw. In so little time you two (and Nerdfighteria in general) have taught me so much. Just wanted to give you all a short message: Thank you.

[BrendanKearnsMusic]

What are you talking about John? Dec 25= Oct 31. Come on!!!

[tehMetroRanger]

It WAS coming out in nearly exactly one year.

[awsomelizzy13]

"Coffee, I'm hiding from the British people" Oh John..

[tati13221]

the fault in are stars

[Iyellatrocks]

I want my last words to be: 'I hid 1.000.000 dollars in the....'

[TheL3ibniz]

@Iyellatrocks you should add some zeros, just in case, you never know about inflation! so if you're unlucky that is worth nothing and no1 would care =P

[darkling2222]

Vegitarian Strawberrys is also a great name for a band.

[heyummrandommuch]

John Lennon kind of reminds me of a Dandy Lion on the cover of Abbey Road...

[CARSflyLiKEVR00M]

Omgoodness do you know Sarah Dessen?? You mad she are my favorite authors!

[RiskyBrothers]

the book I want to write is called Knights of the Rising Sun, but it's called the fault in our sters so...bleeeeeaaaaa!

[awkwardfour]

I laughed when he whispered "get your head out of your ass" XD

[BeatrixNemesis]

@1TheStuffChannel1 Yeah, it's coming out in January now.

[Melissiaga]

Don't worry, John. When my friends and I were talking about our Halloween costumes, I kept saying "I'm going to be a masquerader for Christmas." XD

[Gyroglle]

Jelly fish? Jellyfish...

[Loveandorangekittie]

Hey! I've got a title idea! The Fault In Our Stars!

[adiclm29]

LOL "You don't dress up for Christmas John"

[ddc32997]

John, Im from the future.

Dont be alarmed! Im here on good terms.

Your book is called The Fault In Our Stars or TFiOS for short. :D

DFTBA

[verboselie]

The dandy lions thumbnail (and the rest of the video) completely made my day 100% better!

[1TheStuffChannel1]

Did he release TFIOS early? If so, that's awesome!

(NerdFighters, please reply!)

[FireDropTechnologies]

You need titals for what?

I'm good at coming up

with snazy terms, and puns.

[4LiveLifeWithLove4]

I can say the alphabet backwards!! I have been able to since kindergarden!! I was a very awesome kindergardener.

[ThoseCreepyGuys]

COFFEE!! I love it when the coffee's done.

[MissiCupcake553]

LOOOOOLL XDDD

The tea joke made me laugh so much!

I'm from London and I absolutely DESPISE tea! (Except mint tea... ^-^; )

Coffee is so much nicer xD

[ThatSortOfSystem]

I laughed so much at 2:41 . We are very protective over our tea. D:<

[ifpossiblemakeaUturn]

Yeah...you better hide.

[SemisonicNerdfighter]

Did you have that Woody Gunthrie poster before paper towns?

[Kingianiii]

WHATS THE PHONE NUMBER?

[girlbubble7991]

I am british,, me and my friend were watching this, when you said 'tea of coffee' we both said Tea and when you said you were hiding from the british people we fell about laughing and high fived :D

[aang94479]

Was he talking about The Sequel or TFiOS?

[azpa714]

@aang94479 He renamed the Sequel to TFiOS

[TheHyperTheory]

Here's a title: The Fault in Our Stars.

I really hope you use that one.

[MarianAlaways]

Don't hide from the British for liking coffee more than tea, hide from the Everton fans for you having a Liverpool scarf. Lol, only joking.

[dimplexxify]

You should do a video in which you discus Liverpool FC in more depth. As a fellow supporter of the club, I'd love to know your opinions about the club and it's players (as well as the Premier League in England as a whole)

[13wyvern7]

Okay, on a subject not touched on in many comments, it seems, I just read Beauty Queens. And John is right. It is AWESOME. It's like Lord of the Flies, except with less gore and more hot pirates.

[alexorous1]

Can you say the alphabet backwards?

Z-Y-X-W-no.

lmao

[dusmo]

Ha, I can say the alphabet backwards. Therefore, I am greater than John. BOOM.

[Skorphie]

Thats right hide from us, FEAR US!!!!!

[TookItHomeToJenny]

Aww don't hide from us, we need the puff!!!

[LifeMustard]

I have a great title idea: The Fault in Our Stars.

Catchy, yeah?

[dyslexicxheart]

I recently broke one of my elbows, and let me tell you it was not fun.

[G3mmA42]

good book title?? The Fault in our Stars (: lmao

[AllieYourAlly]

I like that you remembered you don't dress up for Christmas while you were saying it.

[DanaNinja977]

Good Titles?

The Biggest Obstacle

The Only Two

Seeing the Other

Now its Over

In Another Life

[RSNGTwo]

Um...Not sure if you have a title yet, but, based on what I have heard about it, I was thinking something along the lines of:

Life's Fire

Or:

Listening for the Unheard

I don't know, I'm just naming. Good luck with the naming of the book.

[LPSland4444]

@RSNGTwo It's called The Fault in Our Stars!!! (In your pants) How epis is that title? Don't you just love it? Did you see the live show? EEEP

[Likeflames]

@RSNGTwo He did finally settle on the name: it's called The Fault in Our Stars, after this great line from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings."

He recently made a video about it under the same title : D

[RSNGTwo]

@Likeflames Yeah, I heard :D

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

The Muppets like Liverpool as well.

[ajguy1231]

Dandy lions is actually a band lol

[Mollatee]

I feel betrayed.... y u no like tea? More importantly... y u like Liverpool?!

[diamondwings22]

Great, after watching this video so much, I actually typed in "dandy lions" when I actually meant "dandelions". Thanks John Green. :P

[GirlNerdFighter]

If the two cancer kids thing is accurate, then this my title. We are Survivors

[7CracksInTime]

COFFEE? *Pelts with tea bags* TAKE THAT GREEN.

[thebishman99]

Title: Hip Hoppin Hazle

[dolphin64575]

I have not had enough sleep the past few days, but I am all caught up on B2.0! :D I started watching here, and Now I get every single inside jok-COWS!

[Sardonicious]

Title: Hazel the Benign, alternately Hazel the Malignant.

[gotgold11316]

Title: The Meaning of Death

[rantingproductions]

Remission and recluses?



[rantingproductions]

Remission and recluses?

[Surusana]

Liverpool is my favorite team and I want that scarf. Grr

[Ms9doors]

Lol I'm hiding from the British people... ^_^

[JustPerfectlyInsane]

Title: Who They Are

yeah? no?

[marshmallowbabys]

last words: "hey guys, look at this"

[kevinamuir]

SHIT YEAH LFC FTW! YNWA!

[gracefulnerd]

Whatever you name the book, make sure it is hilarious when the in-your-pants rule is used!

[thetollernerd]

@gracefulnerd as all of his other books were, you best not disappoint, John!

[hprocks11]

Is it sad that this is one of my favorite vlogbrothers videos? No it's really not. I love slightly-drunk-John-who-is-not­-actually-drunk. Seriously, this video is so quotable.

[dingbatiom]

Hey, I'm Manx and I hate tea! :P

[dizzydreamer17]

For the book : think of a really cheesy unoriginal title, then think of a really unusual outside the box kind of title. Creatively combine the two, and you will have a wonderfully unique yet uncliched book title :) best of luck

[SHALYN8]

"I feel like I'm dressing up like Waldo for Christmas. *looks to side and in a quiet voice says* You don't dress up for Christmas. Get your head out of you ass." I laughed. Kind of hard.

P.S. How did Libba break her elbow(s)??

[SHALYN8]

"I feel like I'm dressing up like Waldo for Christmas. *looks to side and in a quiet voice says* You don't dress up for Christmas. Get your head out of you ass." I laughed. Kind of hard.

[catrulerofdeath]

Since it's about Hazle/Hazel, have you considered the Meeter in the Rye?

[chandlerbing113]

i'm british. i like coffee. i dislike tea. britain has disowned me..

[jaredloveless]

@TheKwamusic Witty Reply removed

[StarryCastastrophe]

Wait wait, have we ever found out what fishing boat proceeds are, exactly? It sounds like, if you happen to own a fishing boat, and you catch fish with it, and you sell those fish, you have to document your fish-profits-that-have-been-ob­tained-via-your-fishing-boat. Care to confirm, Nerdfighteria?

[bakedfresh13]

My band has officially claimed the name "The Dandy Lions." lulz!

[giftedangel6]

"Through the Eyes of Another"-

hey, that would make a really great band name!

[MsJizzyjazzy]

You should call your book "A Heaven of Hell" from Milton's Paradise Lost.

"The mind is its own place, and in it self can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven."- John Milton

[molliemeoh]

As soon as he hid I thought, 'NO, He's going to say COFFEE!'

Then he did. I was mad. -.-

[shybutsecretlyinsane]

Liverpool scarf! ♥

[babaloga139]

book name: dandy lions c:

[artistsComplex]

2:10 just... one of the many reasons i watch your videos hahaaa

[talkinatchu]

The Summer of Hazel

[TheYellowpeopleeater]

oh em geee i thought hazel was a boy!!!!

[TheReverieCrux]

@ChrisOnlyKnifes

Or Dandelions. =P

[mandamonkeyfan]

@EliseOgden

Sorry!!!! You said like the same thing I did like 20 days ago

[mandamonkeyfan]

Hi

For your title you could play with the name Hazel and have your title be something like ... "From Hazel Eyes" or something because hazel is a popular eye color and she's the narrator and hey! Your little blue people in the background stayed up! :)

[gemzz4u]

The scarf <3 <3

[mybestfrendsafrog]

J.G-Kuffs?

sd;kvsdf efdjks I died a little from excitement

[xtiredxemox]

I now write my songs under the name Monosynic Dandy Lion. Monosynic, as I'm guessing you know, is not a word. It was, in fact, made up by me and roughly means "lonely together" and so it is a lonely but together dandy lion. :D hope you don't mind

[Darknight91DRE]

I cringed at the scarf, I'd rather walk alone lol

[Quintinia]

John's confused face at the end is so adorable :D

[koroespinacas]

By swedish hip hop do you mean promoe? I don't know any other swedish rappers...

[mittROMNEY666]

thumbs down 4 u spaz

[cherylkatex]

"Where Witch Hazel Grows"?

Witch hazel is an astringent now but people used to use forked witch hazel branches as divining rods to locate water/gold underground as they thought the rod would pull downwards where either was present. It grows best in moist acidic soil but it learns to adapt. As a teenager suffering from cancer you do a lot of growing throughout/due to your sickness, kind of like how witch hazel grows best in acidic soil but adapts to conditions and so flourishes across the world.

[undertheswings]

@cherylkatex That's seriously awesome.

[AllThingsGeek1]

Ahhhh you know Libba Bray this is so amazing my world is so complete I could die now well not really :)

[RegretfulPonys]

Would you hate me if i named my band The Dandy Lions?

[LeighAnnaLH]

Well now I'm super excited for your new book! I love books about cancer survivors!

[SuperSkulduggery]

I SUPPORT LIVERPOOL

[lalunaesqueso]

So I already thought John Green was amazing- obviously, because I'm here- but the fact that he is friends with Libba Bray makes me love him 100 times more. Also, so does the fact that he just told me she has a new book coming out. YES!!!

[angelanu92]

title: "An Ode to Dandy Lions"

[MoonyofShadows]

Numa would be a good book title. Swedish pop music right?

[sambiization]

If the title was Dandy Lions, it would be called Dandy Lions in my pants

[azpa714]

Is it a bad thing that I've been following you and watching your videos here and there for about a month now and I just realized NOW whilst watching this that you're THE John Green, aka the author of my favorite book ever! (Paper Towns). Fml. I am a moron.

[YouGottaBeJokingz]

@azpa714 For a second I thought you wrote 'FML. I'm a mormon'. And I was like 'Uhhhhhh...' So, it's okay. We're apparently all morons in our own ways. :)

[isinBohemianRhapsody]

@azpa714 ....it took me almost a year. I congratulate you.

[azpa714]

@isinBohemianRhapsody Thank you. I'm just proud I have a top comment on a vlgobrother's video.

[isinBohemianRhapsody]

@azpa714 Yeah.... I legit like had an epifany in 2009 and it was funny. I was just jumping up and down going like OHHHH

[azpa714]

@isinBohemianRhapsody I realized it because back then I knew Hank's last name was Green...John's name is, well, John...They're brothers...He's an author...The author John Green has another book called something about Alaska..and..Yeah. It took me a month to put all of those facts together and when I finally realized it I was like OHHHMYYYYGAAWWWDDD!!!! Then I called my bestfriend and literally apologized for ignoring her when she told me to read Paper Towns 2 years previously.

[eladps]

@azpa714 No, you are a Nerdfighter :D

[beenesy]

A title I like?

As If We Were On Fire

[ArmchairDeity]

SWEET! John's books are in the iBooks store... just picked up Looking for Alaska.

Can't wait to dig in.

Oh, and this was one of your best vlogbros episodes ever dude...

[taylorissuchahix]

don't know if you already decided on a name but, you said it would be a good name for a band and I think it would also be a good name for your book.

title: The Dandy Lions

p.s. I am kind of serious and kind of joking.

[pokemonmanic400]

title: just one star in the sky

[IzziCM]

I don't like tea either... the problem is I'm British... it's harder to hide from them....

[ScienceMusicLove]

"If you could, would you?"

"Probably not. Let's face it, I'm not the kind of guy who does."

BEST. ANSWER. EVER!!!
