John Green -- The Interview Show Part 1

[loveboburnham]

Looking for Alaska is the best book have ever read in my life.

[sydandtaytum]

actually, the ending of both 'TFIOS' and 'waiting for alaska' felt kind of abrupt.

[ydnewwhite]

6:16

I was disappointed when he didn't say "Who the...eff is hank?"

[x3strawberryswing]

He's friends with the guy who created the 'Manic Pixie Dream Girl'? Damn. That's cool.

[nera2996]

Did anyone else find it offensive how the guy tried to make a joke about teenagers self-harming. "If you are 16 years old you probably either like Miley Cyrus, maybe self mutilation, or John Green." Dude, it's NOT funny!!

[besttheeverhappy]

thank you! nerds are definitly not cool at school, its just easy to find other nerd on the internet

[TehBonar]

"Blowjobs are something that happens in the world"

Words of wisdom.

[aburger9009]

my school has a lot of nerds and fans of ping pong...

[RocknRollaSaur]

yeah I love that. "I wish I was in high school when nerds were cool" my immediate thought was "You have not went to my school! In a none accedemic way (meaning not just getting A's) I am the biggest nerd. I actually am the only nerdfighter in my whole school

[GoodNightMoon19511]

I didn't like how that guy compared self-mutilation to Nerdfighteria. I have been a Nerdfighter for about 2 or 3 years now, and I went through a phase of depression in which I did cut myself. So does that make me inferior to Nerdfighteria?

[UmbrellaCoveredCity]

I love how passionate he gets when he's trying to explain the book. <3

[czanghi]

lol, he still has that couch

[pinkpensive]

John Green's voice is so soothing.

[andtheydanced]

Something I don't like about what he says about the Nerdfighters is that he makes it sound like only the weird, outcast kids like this. And I garuntee you that not a single nerdfighter would agree with that. I wear Hollister, Coach, and Forever 21 every day & I'm proud to support John and Hank Green. Really John? :/

[StigGT2]

Basically, a MPDG is Zooey Deschanel in all of her roles.

[CrazyStalkerPerson]

Fans of ping pong FTW!!

[garfleberry]

When he was going to ask who the nerdfighter's were, I was convinced that he was going to say "Who the... eff is hank?"

[PinkKop]

Nerdfighters, oh how I love you :D

[justmerozzie]

if John made a pirate movie it would be rated RRRRRrrrrr

[nickofmillertime]

Question, when does Q stop wanting to find the 'fine and precious' Margo and start wanting to find the real Margo, the girl?

[raiduk]

Creative comment incoming...

He's so funny ! Ga !

[MikiefKelly]

Crap... I'm 17 And I like all three of those things D:

[naitomeaichiban]

I wanna buy the book now

[TeenagerFromMars421]

Why does it keep freezing in the exact same place for me

[WelllWhatCanISay]

@TeenagerFromMars421 At least i know i'm not the only one

[MrDobbyRocks]

@TeenagerFromMars421 You can bump it up to 480p. It helped mine to work :P

[DancingOnTheTardis]

HAMBURGER JOHN :D

I just found a new fetish.

[Actur86]

"We have this huge force of people behind us, who are well organized." Makes nerdfigherteria sound like a cultish militia.

[Throrindor]

@Actur86 In a sense we are. A cult can simply mean a great veneration of a specific ideal (or ideals) manifested by a body of admirers. Nerdfighteria is a body of admirers that greatly venerates intellectualism and philanthropy. And if our words are our weapons, then we are definitely a militia. Just look what we did to that school in Buffalo. I would call that a decisive victory on the front of intellectual freedom. Nerdiness is our cult, and fighting for it was we do. It's even in our name.

[Javjean]

@Throrindor

A cult places an inordinate amount of control over its attendants.

[TheHyperTheory]

"You don't HAVE to sell your books..." BULLSHIT I MUST SELL MY BOOK!!!!!!!!

[carbonatedcheese]

2 people are Decepticons

[TMOMFXD]

the more he says manic pixie dream girl the funnier it gets

[MusicMeg2012]

It's weird to hear him speak without jump cuts

[zimmawoman]

@MusicMeg2012 omg i know its bizarre

[immelmanturn]

@MusicMeg2012 He's got LEGS, man!

[NicoleSalamen]

Three possibilities for what he's drinking:

1. Urine

2. Beer

3. Apple Juice

My bet's on beer.

[Fekenator]

@NicoleSalamen Mine's on apple juice

[TwiZtiD23Soul]

@NicoleSalamen tea

[26Staples]

fans of ping pong...

[LegitBenDustman]

Buffalo is not a little town!!!! But it is really typical of our elected officials to weenie up and hide when called upon. They FTBA

[FutureAbe]

The Interview Show

What a fitting name for an interview show

[SnivelyTheGlamful]

What is he drinking?! Is that beer?!

[lonely22angel]

he sounds different 

[Letmegotowonderland]

"they did not like the fact that I acknowledged that blowjobs are something that happened in the word"

"shhhhhh!"

"a- wha-... It's true!"

I lol'd so hard hahhaa, its so strange to hear him say that word

[malofa99]

Is he drinking urine!?

[KungfuCow5]

@malofa99 Yes, Yes he is. Well done. *pats head*

[EmilyMildlyLikesYou]

Its weird to see him blinking ...

Does that sound strange?

dftba

[Invincible117]

I don't think I could love John Green any more than I currently do. I just want him to be my crazy uncle that tells me stories all the time.

[Invincible117]

"I wanted to be this, but I pictured it differently" Love.

[JustHereForComedy]

It's weird hearing him talk without the jump cuts. XD

[KasperInABox]

haha he is so drunk

[AdreeAwesome]

John Green is like the older version of Jesse Eisenberg. Dear god that is awesome.

[KagamiUnderworld]

It's obviously a cheeseburger! XD

[jaytyu1]

DFTBA

[DARBYAWESOMELION]

is john drinking beer?

[itsmemia1]

The Nerdfighters. The force xD

[TheMidnightSymphony]

what is john drinking?

[phoebexanne]

I hate how he keeps butting into what John is saying!! A big ICK on this guy!

[MissTracyLord]

"When you imagine someone as more than a person it's just as dangerous as when you imagine someone as less than a person."  God. Lines like that are why I love you, John Green.

[madasrabbits06]

Hahaha those three topics are definitely an "or" for me... just john green :)

[mixedupmuddledup]

WOOO NERDFIGHTERS



[WalkingStory]

Manic pixie dream girl: A character written to be played by Zoey Deschanel

[madasrabbits06]

@WalkingStory SOOO true!

[derteqal]

@madasrabbits06 She's 31, though.

[brieana90]

@WalkingStory I thought (500) days of summer was a bit similar to PT because she was just a girl too. The story was told in the perspective of a guy who misimagined her and put her on a pedestal.

This will probably be irrelevent if you weren't referring to her role as Summer Finn.

[WalkingStory]

@brieana90 This is particularly true of her character in 500 Days, but I find it true for a majority of the roles that she plays. She is often an eccentric/manic female who the male protagonist mis imagines as something else (something impossibly better than an actual human).

[LucidPsychosis]

I love John Green the vlogger, but it's really refreshing to see him as John Green the writer and as simply John Green the guy. He ties for my favorite author :)

[loryloveskitties]

I was waiting for them to say nerdfighters! I thought they might not acknowledge us, but they did! YES! They didn't ftba

[Rawrrrx19]

John is more like a slice of pizza, not a hamburger,

[theeaterofpie]

1 dislike? :O don't worry no lame attention seeking comment here, but still, only 1? thats pretty awesome.

[hiphophotty101]

lol DFTBA FTL !!!!!!!!! nerdfighters rule!!!!! i have 3 nerdfighting posters in my room and during nanowrimo i did not write an entire novel but i started writing a novel

DFTBA i'm out!!

3.14159265

antidiestablishmentarianism

LOL i am just proving that i am a nerd

eat five sheets of toilet paper while disscussing the political situation in na'pal

[framk20SH]

the 1 dislike is the 1 woman who challenged his book

[muggle394]

I love John's laugh...

[katie0kates]

I almsot puked while reading the blow job scene. Holy crap, what kind of a girl wants a penis in her mouth. YUCK.

[thevampireking21]

@katie0kates lol... just wait



[Inujade]

@thevampireking21 a girl who appreciates intimacy and is not disgusted by the male body?

Granted, the girl in that scene was not doing it for the right reasons (for example, it was awkward BECAUSE there was no intimacy), but thats no reason to judge other girls.

[thevampireking21]

@Inujade

I'm not judging, and yes you are right that the girl in Looking for Alaska did not do it for the right reason, and for the sex scene in the book is very very awkward. However, what I meant by my comment is that an idea that might seem gross or dirty at first, can become something intimate and wonderful if you are with someone you really love. So, I would wait for him before you make up your mind about anything. Cheers :)

[Inujade]

@thevampireking21 Aaah! I actually said this to the wrong person, my comment was directed at the person who said they almost puked at the sex scene. My apologies!!

[AngelicAnimeX]

@katie0kates

I didn't almost puke, but it was REALLY awkward.. I kinda just wanted to read that scene and get it over with.. 

[holybobstaff123]

@AngelicAnimeX I though that scene was hilarious, but then I'm a dude, so I guess it's a totally different experience for me.

[xNjaMx]

DFTBA!

[littlenanita]

Poo, it makes me sad that he keeps saying Buffalo. I mean, I know it's the biggest city nearby (so a good reference point), but the town is actually Depew, NY!

[littlenanita]

"I pictured you as more of a...."

Obviously, what he meant to say was PIZZA!

[littlenanita]

John Green, everyone!

[TheMmenagerie]

I keep coming back to this interview. Well done.

[Phobic42]

I sometimes wish books had ratings... Not so much like movies have ratings (where kids under a certain age CAN'T read certain books), but just kind of ...warnings? :|

[ihearttheplanet]

he really does have a thing for ven diagrams

[brikentheCOMMENTARY]

The internet has also created more nerds in each location, though.

And btw, there are 200,000 of us now, not 60,000 :)

[toskoramone]

aaaahh, that's what Paper Towns is about..

before i read it, i thought it was the plot for Looking for Alaska.

[eeried2]

blow jobs happen.

[Javjean]

@eeried2

Depends on who you are. NEVER HAPPENS IF YOU ARE ME!

[mycatsnameishoudini]

Why is he drinking so much?

[sarvigirl]

He's ALMOST drinking a lot. Mostly so he won't spill it.

[MacMike2112]

Nerdfighting is not an action.

It's a lifestyle. FTW

[pkirbystedwards]

FTW DFTBA!!!!!!!!!!

[Juliabean123]

DFTBA

[MarlonOwnsYourCake]

THAT'S why he hasn't accepted my friend request!

My sister's on his friends list, lame.

[ManiacalCompulsion]

NERDFIGHTERS!

[amberstar91890]

Haha is John drinking a beer?

[ebizbites]

LOOKING FOR ALASKA.. MOVIE?! WHAT?! WHAT?! YES! :D :D :D

wow... go nerfighters man! :)

[nadineishere]

Nerdfighters ftw! :D

DFTBA

[sabery]

YESS!!!  Wonderful!

[aiwendiltpd]

Oh, Frak, how I love you for drawing John as a cheeseburger (w/o lettuce).

[ZoeMoi]

John is a burger xD

thank you for posting it! it's an awesome interview :)

[verbaltacticianOli4]

He is wearing his green NERDFIGHTER TSHIRT <3

[Painfoot]

I just realized this video was put up today

=)

"Obviously, they're not fighting nerds, or they would kill us!"

It's always great hearing John talk about stuff.

[valerie2776]

ohhhh the good old venn diagram

[splicegrrl]

thank you so so much for posting this.
