  • 1:10 YYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­

  • NCIS and all those shows actually follow the format of the Well-Made Play, which was popularized by Ibsen. We like it so much because the suspense rises and rises until the secret is revealed. This secret then causes a reversal in which everything can fall back into place. (Theatre nerdery at it's finest.) DFTBA

  • I think NCIS is actually pretty good. They do mess up occasionally, but CSI is utterly ridiculous.

  • 1:07 GLASSESLESS JOHN!

  • dangit! I wish I had been a nerdfighter back in 2009 so I could have a chance at those copies of Paper Towns!!!

  • You know the end of this video really made me think..

    >>admiration is furthest from understanding<<

    I mean that is 100 % true. But I have a problem with that - Cause I admire the Vlogbrothers. But when we admire someone we're in that weird place where we think that everything they do is perfect. And I'm pretty sure Hank & John aren't perfect. Eventhough I tend to think they are - in a very Nerdy way. So I'm in front of a fangirl (you're a Nerd - fangirl kinda comes with it) problem.

    Any help?

  • I used to watch the first 48 as a kid, it scared the hell out of me, but I couldn't stop watching it :)

  • I have the same desk chair as John.

  • my ringtone is thevlogbrothers opening.. :D

  • Kristina is a Nerdfighter? Yessss!

  • did Kristina get to Antarctica?

  • XD Like two months ago I stabbed a guy with a screwdriver on accident and when I watched this it made it so much better . . . I'm gonna call that guy "Evil" now.

  • I was just playing Fragger, and the grenade blow up at the exact moment the video ended with the gun sound.

  • well, if I may...

    there are penguins in Antarctica

    in runescape penguins are everywhere

    runescape is everywhere

    antarcrica is everywhere

    all nerdfighteria is in antartica

    and runescape is based in cambrige

  • Bleach reference! haha! Oh, man.

  • I bet the Yeti loved his decor

  • This wall is a unicorn, your argument is invalid.

  • Admiration is the furthest thing from understanding.... im think im right in saying that that is Aizen from the anime bleach.

    Aizen pronounced - Eye-zen.

  • Stories on TV make sense? One word. Lost. ;D

  • john, you just paralleled tom clancy. who said that the only difference between fiction and non fiction is that fiction has to make sense.

  • Because Alaska is jokes a continent. 

  • I don't think you were playing the marimba.

    *removes glasses*

    I think you were playing the MURDERimba.

    HAHA

  • Is the screwdriver... sonic?

  • @GONEmypurpleflapjack

    I think if I knew you, we would be such good friends. Why kill ianto? WHY!!!??? And torchwood: miracle day would be better with ianto.

  • TRYING TO MAKE A NERFIGHTER ACCOUNT.

    I'm new to all of this. I onlt found these vdeos four or five minutes ago.

    What does it mean 'what kind of nerd are you'?????

  • Me and one of my good friends Taylor have CSI: Miami marathons for the sole reason of making fun of it, predicting the plot, and eating cookiedough :)

  • Only the doctor can get evil with his screwdriver.....

  • "murderimba" is my new favourite word.

  • OMG A BLEACH REFERENCE YAY.  :D. And it's "eye-zen" (spelled aizen)

  • Real life crime solving has less montages.

  • I like Torchwood, they don't fight evil, they fight Weevil. WHY DID THEY KILL IANTO?

  • Watching old vlogbrother videos is a cure for the cold. FACT!

  • COOL!! BEFORE I POSTED THIS THERE WERE 2011 COMMENTS!!!

    and WHY AREN'T THERE ANY NERDFIGHTERS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC!!!?!?!

  • NEW COMPUTER

  • The wall is a unicorn... The cake is a lie?

    I see what you did there, John.

  • Actually, I occasionally watch CSI because the actor that plays Eric Delko is hot. That's literally the only reason. But if you've seen him, you'll know that that is reason enough.

  • "Well, not that special, actually. I don't want to raise your expectations too much."

    He is adorable!

  • will grayson likes Law and Order.

  • 1:46 ahh a crowbar coming out from john's ear!!!!

  • Does it count that a nerdfighter was at the NORTH pole? My husband was deployed there for 6 months!

  • "Hey evil I got you with my screwdriver"

    Doctor who referances, anyone?

  • @grandchildofchaos its a nerdfighter video all of us will get the reference you could mention the fez and everyone would get it ^_^

  • Dude. I'm totally learning how to play the murderimba.

  • You should watch NCIS. that's one of the only (at least close to) realistic crime shows on TV.

  • @zachsbanks

    I love NCIS. But it's not realistic.

  • @zachsbanks

    And it has story as well as crime

  • I think you mispronounced Aizen's name. Unless he is someone different from bleach, because I remember the one from bleach saying something like that. Bleach and Nerdfighteria FTW

  • Wouldn't it be an instead of a...it bothers me. 

  • @TheKihdd no, it really is a unicorn. like a university. or a ukulele. ;) don't know if it still bothers you but just in case

  • Yay for Aizen's words! I actually remember when I read that part! I was like "Oh no he didn't!"

  • So i was on facebook and a few of my friends liked a link that said "I'm going to talk about unicorns, because everyone loved unicorns." and i thought to myself "John Green doesn't." Nerdfighters!

  • @MattilaTheHun It's this big forum thing where lots of Nerdfighters congregate. I'm not on it, but I know what it is. :) And don't worry, Nerdfighters actually answer questions with nice-ness instead of flaming you for your previous ignorance.

  • I'm a relatively new Nerdfighter, so don't be made about my question...but what is the "ning"? :)

  • You know what? I miss sidebars... :(

  • Why is everyone hatin' on purple, me and unicorns?

  • That wall is art.

  • John, there's this really great book you should read called Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. This book talks about this idea of all humankind having an innate darkness--that at some level, we're all capable of unspeakable things like murder, rape, etc. If you get the chance, please read it. I think it's a book you'd really enjoy.

  • im not going to ask why that nerdfighter has a cardboard edward cullen.

  • sonic screwdriver

    

  • Marimba! YES

  • I suppose I asked myself why you had a screwdriver for the same reason that you didn't want to own that crowbar. You just don't seem like a 'tools' kinda guy, John, and yes, I think that's a good thing.

  • I looked at the out-ro and was like "whose arms are those? they bend so strangely!"

  • i'm pretty sure this is the first vlogbrothers video i ever watched. because i particularly remember "the wall is a unicorn"

  • Oh my god. I can't believe there was just a random Bleach quote in a vlogbrothers video. I was not expecting that. xD

  • John Just Quoted Aizen SUGEEEEEEEEEEH!

  • Hey evil, I got you with my SONIC screwdriver! (anybody get the Doctor Who reference?)

  • @KingKangaroo3454 I got it!! Doctor Who RULESSS :D !!!!

  • PUFFY HAIR

  • I think the screwdriver joke was more genius than you may have realized.

  • LOL...I love your tool of motivation. I think another tactic could've been writing "HEIGHTS" on the wall. That would surely be an easier way to overcome your fear than, you know, actually standing on a table like you did a couple of years back.

  • Ningmaster Tom!!!!!!! our prayers are with you!

  • Yes! I did it! I've gotten back to the first Vlogbrothers video I ever saw! I watched all the videos!! *collapses*

    Took like two and a half months. XD;; I love you guys.

  • John! I just bought all your books :D

  • the sidebar is called a dooblydoo

  • The wall is a Unicorn, it has a Horn.

  • Ningmaster Tom is awesome!!

    We must get Kristina to Antarctica, by whatever means necessary!!

  • The Murder-imba lol!

  • Your so upbeat. I love it!

  • lol i'm in band and play the marimba!

    you just made my day!

  • :D me too

  • @kindkaty

    so im i! hi five

  • @kindkaty Marimba players FTW :D

  • @kindkaty Me too!

  • love the new outro! especially the cardboard cutout of Edward Cullen

  • In Scribblenauts you can make a unicorn and a gun and pick up the gun (flamethrower, chainsaw etc.) and kill the unicorn. Awesome!

  • "And one of the main differences between stories in real life and stories on t.v. is that stories on t.v. make sense."

    lol!

  • HAHAHAHAHAA a black santa just like in your book!

  • hehe im comin to barnes and noble tomorrow to write notes to you with my friends......i have good friends

  • you are cute...

  • Five stars for "murderimba."

    Also, I love you guys (and all nerdfighters) so incredibly much...but I have to admit that the outro makes me a little sad every time I see it because I don't think that nerdfighters would be using guns =/

  • A Arab and a half-Jew walk into a thrift store

  • luv the new outro!! i hav an edward standup lol it was a gift! i swear! lol but i luv it...but harry potty all the way!!!! *nerdfighters!!!!!*

  • paper towns in your pants doesnt sound funny

  • The Yeti is the cutest person I have never seen.

  • Ten word:

    Killing fascists, mini malls, wall of cow, and finding Margo

  • Nerdfighters reminds me there is still good in the world. :)

  • Ten words:

    A part of me will always be Looking for Alaska.

  • Hi!

    I'm not posting a ten word comment. I can't, because ten words would never be enough.

    I'm Portuguese. It's SO hard to get your books here. The only way would be to order online, and I will once I save up the money. So your books haven't changed my life, but you and Hank have, and do. Knowing that there are people who are LIKE ME makes me feel so comfortable in lide. You've made me happier. So I hope I'll get one of the books_ don't worry, I'll get my hands on it eventually even if I don't!

  • ten word:

    Wait, what, I'm confused? this is not even ten words

  • Anyone know how to get your NF gesture at the end of John's video?

  • Ten Word Comment:

    "The ultimate choice: shave off left or paint on righty?"

  • Too bad this isn't ten words. Oh wait, it is!

  • My Ten Word Comment:

    Margo may not, but to Paper Towns I shall return.

  • the wall is freaking me out.

    is the yeti okay?

    that wall looks like something from CSI...

  • Never leave anything "to be continued." Alask taught me that.

  • new outro!!! <3

  • RANDOM FEATURE

    ROCK ON

  • the people that get caught killing someone and then cries either are doing one of two things ... 1 realize that they will be spending years in prison, or 2 want the pitty and understanding to start so that they (the law) will hopefully go easy on them ... neither of witch are true evil, the true evil doesn't get caught and if they did they would smugly say "I want my lawyer" and get off on a technicality

  • umm you should wash your hair and comb that fro yo hahahah yo ass beta realize babay boo yo is not edward collins

  • Attack the wall with a large sledge hammer!!

  • Happiness is not good enough for me, I demand euphoria!!

  • "When your heart is in chaos, this sky becomes clouded."

  • LOL rob pattinson!

  • I'm pretty positive that John just grabbed Edward Cullen's moobs.

  • i <3 new outro!!

  • paper boy, paper girl, paper town, paper world. living words.

  • Your books are placed in my great wall of wow

  • Are there any nerd fighters in Idaho?

  • This made me think of that Showtime series, Dexter. It's the only crime show that I like. It's got all the elements of a normal crime show: hero who works with the police tracks down and outsmarts the evil serial killers. But he's also a serial killer. He doesn't bring them down the the station, he kills them. It does an excellent job of exploring the evil inside oneself. (Not that these might be linked or any thing... but Dexter is also the only crime show I know of that is based on a book. )

  • Paper Towns is not written in words, but in awesome.

  • 10 word comment :) =

    Desperately stuck in Venenzuela with none of your books available!!

  • i was attacked by a evil chicken.. it was a long time ago (5 hours ago) down the street a man drove by in a pickup truck and through a chicken at me that followed me home and is still out side!!! help me:(

  • Apathy is the glove into which evil slips its hand.

  • Comment removed

  • you should use a sledge hamer it'll come down then

  • why do nerdfighters hate unicorns? xxx

  • Why do nerdfighters hate unicorns? Why would anyone like unicorns?

    "They are horned beasts of suck." And I quote. Ick.

    They have the worst parts of horses and of rhinocori.

    Btw.

    "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans."

    -John Lennon

  • woot i live by it :)

  • "give you the delusion that evil is some uncomplicated thing living inside of certain people and not others."

    This is how I feel about the racism issue in politics right now. racism isn't when only when people say "I hate black people" Racism is when someone's race impedes your views. Witch doctor poster @ protest, Birthers, and using the term czar to replace someone's actual job title. These are using someone's race or cultural terms as an argument.

    Love your videos DFTBA!

  • I dislike ten word sentences, as they are particularly decepticonian.
