  • the thumbnail for this video: aliens!

  • I didn't see it XD I'm a bad boy

  • watched like all of Dan's videos so when you mention him i never have to click any links

  • Those are the first three levels of tumblr, too

  • The annotations on this video made me think of Rocky Horror. It was like Hank was getting us to yell back at him, but thankfully not throw anything, except maybe a camera :D

  • I'm not sure, when Machiavelli stopped the Borgia it was pretty beautiful...

  • Comment removed

  • Omg you dont know who john is? Omg

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks, Hank. I always knew I was a Ninja Turtle ^_^

  • -clicks link-

    Youtube: This video is private, sorry about that. :(

    Me: D: But.... Hank told me to....

  • the video is private

  • Ooh! Ooh! Can I be the Michelangelo??

  • @LillianMoon i call Da Vinci!!!!!

  • why would you tell me to watch a video that I couldn't due to it being private? WHY?!?

  • Sometimes I wish Nerdfighteria was a physical place. It would be an exceedingly nice place to live.

  • @I4gotmyMANTRA I believe we have a thread on the Ning all about purchasing a private island and making it Nerdfighteria.

  • I did go to see it, Hank, but I couldn't! It is a private video!

  • is that a bouncing souls hoodie?

  • The video is private. Sorry about that.

  • There are more than sixty thousand likes on this video.

  • I can do what i wnat like discovering the 4th dimention, writeing a book, or being a nerd fighter, as long as i put my mind too it and have fun.

  • Do you have ADD or are you just THAT awesome? Both maybe?

  • Dan Brown is a college dropout, the sooner he leaves youtube and stops trying to screw up everyones lives, the better!

  • Hank dances are the best kind of dances :)

  • That was really inspirational:) now I'm gonna go be a Davinci. brb! :D

  • Hank, I sincerely hope that you are not operating under the pretense that Machiavelli's "The Prince" reflected his actual views. :/

  • He said Machiavelli XD Mega nerd alert. Assassin's creed brotherhood? anyone, anyone?

  • By the way most likely you are a level 3.5 which means you are a group version of 3 this is because nerds don't like bully's and haters which is being even thought I DON"T LIKE THEM it still means that we are a stage 3.5 sorry

  • "...I am so bad at sitting still!"

    I feel your pain, Hank. I feel it.

  • i have no delusions of being famous but i think that i have something great in me. im desperately trying to get it out . but im finding that i have to prove it repeatedly rather then having people help me along the way wich is frustrating

  • :-)

  • When Dan explained level 4, its like he was talking about Nerdfighteria. 

  • hey, don't knock machiavelli.

  • First vlogbrothers video i ever saw (thanks to Dan Brown), i subscribed because of 3:54 :D

  • shotti ninja turtle

  • Ninja turtles!

    question- why does everyone say doobly doo?

  • @queenfrostine97 because they used to call it the sidebar but when it moved they didn't know what to call it

  • Hmmm I think, I would like to be Machiavelli actually. Anyways, that was a really inspiring video :)

  • I didn't go see it.

  • hahaha...@1:47

  • um, everyone knows that earbuds are the best kind of headphones

  • Not too everybody, For ease of use, and mobility, Sure, earbuds can be the better choice. But for people who value quality of music or sound, style, and mobility differently, Prefer other kinds of headphones. Like myself.

  • Dibs on Raphael, that guy was awesome.

  • I want to be DaVinci

  • 60,810! yah!

  • This was uploaded the day I turned 16. If I knew it, maybe that day wouldn't suck that much....

  • You forgot Ezio Auditor -sp fail-

  • I kind of strayed away from youtube for a while during college when I stopped surfing the web. When did "dooblidoo" happen? Nerdfighteria is Definitely (capital D indeed) a level 4+ tribe!

  • Machiavelli was the rejected Ninja Turtle. He was far too duplicitous (Machiavelli the Turtle was too Machiavellian. GET IT?)

    Anyway, moving on...

  • I lol'd

  • laser hands!!!!

  • da'vinci was a homo xD

  • Don't call him gay. He invented scissors!

  • im not calling him gay, he was gay.. look it up

  • lol theres almost 60,000 people

  • he said if there is 60k people watching this but there is 55k lol

  • Wait....

    the info says 5 MP or higher. I have a 5.2 MP I can spare....but in the video, you said 6 mp.

    Which is it?

  • will you marry me?

  • @ilylehg not unless you live in utah

  • @igotyourmoney23 Hank lives in Montana

  • @ilylehg I'm afraid the Catherine got there first.

  • @ilylehg Sorry he's taken

  • pretty sure michaelangelo thought "FML my life sucks" when they locked him in the sisteen chapel and said paint the roof

  • @Matisyourmaster Actually, he decided to paint the roof. XD

  • @Matisyourmaster BAH take a polisci course

  • @Matisyourmaster or maybe he said 'wow I get the chance to paint the roof of a house of God! This is Awesome'

  • @Truthless101 truly sorry to rain on your parade, but michaelangelo actually kept a diary, in which he wrote detailed complaints about his working conditions, the emormity of his task, his many ailments, and the incompitence of his helpers. he had an extraordinary talent, but was a cranky man who never washed and was bullied by his father as a child for paracticing art instead of academic studies.

    at least he had big goals, and he accomplished them, so that must count for something :)

  • Pretty cool. Though I'm not sure how many people will willingly part from their cameras.

  • it would only cost somewhere from 50 to 200 dollars to get a new one, and a lot of other youtubers probably have old cameras they dont use

  • Machiavelli wasn't a ninja turtle, by the way.

  • Yeah. It was Donatello. XD Oh Hank. *sighs*

  • lol ninja turtles

  • !LMAO!

    Im the DaVinci thats watching!

    !LMAO!

  • The world sucks. All of us should see whether we can outdo each other when it comes to collaborating and making the world a better place.

  • The title is win. I'm a member of 'the tribe of earth or whatever but not that commercialized, trademarked version therof'

  • tribs there more like cults

  • What no Michealangelo?

  • I don't have a camera to give. However I can offer to give any of you nerd fighters atomic wedgies. It's the least I can do. After all you are saving Africa.

  • Am I the only one who spent 3/4 of the video trying to decipher the book titles in the background?

  • Five stars just for saying doobly doo.

  • u.s. steal all riches of africa, leave africa to dead for starving and u r making jokes about it!!! u guys just cant buy a camera those people in africa cant find bread for eat. i cant believe how egomaniac u r!! because of guys like you the world is in a very bad situation.

  • do your problems include your family being raped and murdered and your village burned down leaving your children to starve?

  • why would it include that?

  • "fuck Africa." your words.

    you ever hear of Darfur?

    that is what is happening there.

    i cannot describe how ignorant your comment is. /"fuck africa"/?

    really?

    i know we have our own problems, but they kiiind of pale in comparison, i don't know, GENOCIDE.

    how dare you imply your suffering is worse than that of the Darfurians?

  • Okay, allow me to make it clear: I misfired the mouse, I was aiming for a very clear THUMBS DOWN. You've missed the point of the video; Level 4 is a higher level, and involves understanding that FIXING ANYONE'S PROBLEM MAKES THE WORLD BETTER. It might make you less of a twat, for instance.

  • or maybe its all or those rolled into one... (points at self)

  • I bet you think you're better then balloon... I mean crawlspace-boy

  • Who are the Nerd Fighters?

  • we are!

  • Who encompasses "we?"

  • What the fuck is "farry" dust?

  • @GIANTclaaam lol i was so tired when i wrote that, fairy*

  • im davinci yeah lol

  • so far, I like you. Never heard of you, but you seem cool. :) I like the theory of the tribes, but I feel like it can be improved upon.

    --sJs2

  • Brainless Twaddle of  a smug sheltered

    suburban teenage moron

  • What do you suggest we do to improve the world then? No I'm not having a go. Yes I would like your serious thoughts on the matter.

  • First thing that would improve the world is a mandatory study by all teenagers of the dangers of uninformed "idealism". You know how well meaning noble ideas about "equality" lead to Mugabe, Mao, Chaves, Castro, Kim il Sung, and last

    Barrack Obama

  • Perhaps a fair call, however many "well educated" people are the biggest cause of the problems that we have to deal with not only today, but also in years past, the best ideas don't always come from the smartest people. also how would you suggest implementing such an idea? the vid states a very "real" way that people can help and a possible way to begin the steps of change. I'm neither for or against this video. I do however find it interesting to challenge peoples ideals, what ever they may be.

  • stop talking so fast!!!!!⁄

  • Yes, your youtube videos will change the world. Somehow. Just look at all the wars stopped by internet petitions. Yes, you and your youtube friends are a more potent force throughout the world than, say, arms dealers. You are awesome, everyone who isn't you and doesn't think like you is inferior. Tribes.

  • so... are we accualy doing the eye follow dot thing, or is it just to get our reactions to the kitten?

  • we are great. =]

  • thanks for the motivational speech, bud

  • Heh. Ninja Turtles.

  • Dibs on being the Davinci in this group.

  • Damnit.

    I call Michelangelo, then.

  • Bouncing Souls are good, not sending any cameras though. Good luck sir.

  • what a waste of money that whole project will be

  • 5 stars for ninja turtles!

  • i swear i most of the times in all of your videos i have no clue about what yall are talking about...but i still like your videosand im still subscribed and will be.

  • I wonder if it wouldn't be good to start a paypal somethingorother (technical term) so people might donate money instead of equipement, so that we (you) can buy equipment? I imagine people might have $10 to spare (or so) but not a camera, etc. ?

  • ITS called the super box of awesome!!

  • To all nerdfighters (i assume if you're watching this, you are a nerdfighter), please watch my video response to this video. It is approved by the Greens enough for it to be a video response, so it must jokes on some level.

    So yeah, for comedy nerdfighter videos, please come over to my channel!

    This will probably get ignored or counted as spam, but i tried.

  • Nerdfighteria is the most AWESOME tribe! And to prove it, if Hank or John were to tell people to go listen to the new CHARTJACKERS song, I can guess that a hell of a lotta people would do it... hint hint... =P

  • Wait so...

    somewhere within Nerdfighteria, there are the Ninja Turtles!

    Anyway, that was mind-blowing!!!!! I feel rather empowered... :D Thanks for being awesome Hank!

    DFTBA!

  • I was called a ninja turtle by someone the other day =D

  • Thanks for posting!

  • On average, I'm about a level 2. Sometimes I fluctuate, but usually I'm level 2. It sucks.

  • we SHOULD embrace socalism/communism. This is pretty much what this videos title is about

  • no not at all. communism has a leader with all the power (I'm great your not) wich is like a lvl 3. if the whole world was a lvl 5 tribe you would not need a gov. at all.

  • no, in communism all people are equal and making somone a leader would make them more than all the others. True communism would acknowledge all peoples idea on how somthing should be done.

  • Good stuff Hank, awesome video :)

  • i'll be machiavelli, you be michaelangelo. 'wink'.

  • as a tribe, Nerdfightaria is grate coz we don't draw borders on our tribe, there are people who are Nerdfighters, but no one considered not a nerdfighter. people are only shyte when the divide themselves.

  • Funny as hell!

  • i watched it! WE'RE TOTALLY A LEVEL FOUR TRIBE!! XD

  • AHH! THE GAME!!! grrrrrr

  • Machiavelli just gets a really bad rep. All he did was right books and found the idea of what would later be real politik.

  • Hi there. I have about around 10 cameras and some other equipment I really don't need and I would love to donate them. I've been a taking pictures for a while now and I think this cause is a great motivation for me to buy a set a new equipment. I'm not sure how I should go about sending the equipment? I mean, there's lot of it haha

  • go to a UPS store, they will help you pick which boxes and packing equipment you'll need, and they'll also pack it for you. personal advice, put all the equipment in as few boxes as possible, because shipping can get pricey and having more boxes makes it more expensive.

  • i just lost the game aGAIN because of comments

  • Yay for Dan- I love him and that video was awesome!!

  • dooblydoo....... thats awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Personally, I think we're actually more of a level three tribe because we dislike people. Whether it be people with opposing view points or the "popular" kids or that irritating kid who thinks he's the best thing in the world. There will always be a people who you think are beneath you and therefore the whole 'I'm awesome and you're not' thing comes into play. The only way any group could be considered a level 4 (or five) tribe is if they didn't hate anyone at all and that would be very rare.

  • Yeah, but it's not like we spend time disliking them. Like there's people who are like "I hate those nerds, their books are totally stupid and gay" and we're just like "psh.. you don't understand" or insult them via Shakespeare. We're not like "grr.. I hate those non-Nerdfighters and their not being a nerd." and then try to beat them up because of who they are or are not. Further more I've never really thought of anyone as less than who I am because I'm a Nerdfighter and they're not.

  • I'm not saying that we dislike them because they're not Nerdfighters, that would be stupid. What I mean is that we dislike people generally. I have friends who aren't Nerdfighters and I don't hate them. We dislike people. Full stop. Whether they belong to our group or not the opinion developed has nothing to do with what social group they belong to but how they act towards the person who develops the opinion.

  • Nice dancing

  • i just lost the game again

  • fuck

  • It must be different in the Congo then it was when my Great-Grandfather was there :-\. good luck with the project...

  • live on the assumption that everyone else is crazy and i'm normal

    umm... all the midevil names u said r teenage ninja turtles ha

  • Machiavelli is not a Ninja Turtle. and he didn't mention Raphael.

    good try, though. :]

  • crazymonkey186 is not a nerd fighter. A Nerdfighter would never have done that to our tribe.

  • fail.

  • I love that the term dooblydoo is catching on xD

  • i know but who started it

  • Dan Brown Started that!

  • Dan Brown is awsome

  • Straight up!!!!

  • Doodlydoo, i started saying that all the time. xD

  • Awesome! I have already watched Dan Brown's video and I must admit I was very enthused at such ideas. And the Nerdfighter community is certainty a fourth level tribe. (Harry Potter fandom is also really cool)

  • i just lost the game

  • aw fcukn hell 2years & its all over in 5 small ugly words!!! curse you crazy monkey..

  • DOOD!!!! I WAS DOING SO GOOD!!!!

  • GRAR! I was winning the game for, like, 3 FRIKKEN MONTHS!
