  • I was thinking neurotic bitch. Yea, very NOT a pussy, said with a lisp. Its all good. Just date me. I have a big fucking Ford F250 work truck and we can hunt this little prick down. I will beat his ass in to a pulp. Then you feel sorry for him.

    By the way. 1) I drive an econo car most of the time. 2) I am a top. So, with that said,.......

  • Circular wheels. As opposed to what?

  • @Senekay Cylindrical wheels

  • @BaronVonFelixton Last I checked, cylinders were generally circular.

  • I think you just very successfuly dealt with it dude, logic and reason is something a bully just doesnt have, yet when they pick on someone like you, you have logic and reason, and you can effectively think through it, granted it might take awhile, but the bliss that you now have (or close to) have known pain and killed it

    In other words, you wouldnt be you if it didnt go through that, are you happy with who you are? (im gonna assume thats a yes) good, cus 250,000 others agree with ya

  • @vlogbrothers you are so correct

  • <3

  • Also, to the guy who called Hank a pussy: ENJOY YOUR GAS PEDAL AND AIR CONDITIONING, YOU LAZY BUTT!!

  • Hank... You. Are. My. Freaking. Hero. In 5th grade I was the most unpopular kid in the entire grade. Not kidding. I had one friend, and everyone else didn't just ignore me -- nope. I was a target. EVERYONE'S target. 'Cause I was different. And for YEARS I wondered what the HECK I'd done wrong -- what I could have done to deserve the alienation of an entire grade, and then I realized: I HADN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG. THEY were the ones being jerks.

    You've summed it up so perfectly, Hank. Thanks.

  • @thatwhichisgiven WOW mind blown totally happened to me too. but now im awesome in 6th grade

  • @Sharpzshooter2 Better than me, you are. I turned into a JERK in 6th grade because I was so afraid of being bullied again... turned into a bully myself. I had to wait till halfway through 8th grade to become awesome again. BUT IT HAPPENED. And now I am a nerdfighter, and I actually like myself, and I am awesome again.

  • My reaction at the end of the rant:

    *silence for a moment*

    ...OH DAMN.

  • oh my LORD. This has to be one of the greatest rants of all time.

    I really hope that pussy in the truck sees this....

  • oh no! he went over 4 minutes!!! its 4:01!?!?!

  • 0:41 puppydog eyes

  • You tell him Hank ... you tell him !

  • I laughed my organs to dust. Thans you.

  • OH MY GOD I LOVE HANK! AND JOHN! HOW CAN YOU TWO BE SO FUCKING AWESOME

  • @godessshannon Nerdfighters. We are made of awesome.

  • @kikyo4815 You are soo right. DFTBA

  • Hank you used Circular

    Again Smaller Words for the man.

  • Hank = Mr. T ^ 9001

  • your scary when your angry

  • love the nerd rage

  • Hank, you are my hero. I salute you sir.

  • WHERE IS THE PINK UNICORN!?

  • Being the short fat kid was the worst time then tack on that the friends (except a few) turned into those bullying cowards and harassed me and the nerds unroll they realized hey this is a big dude we shouldn't mess with him so I was used as the anti-bully which makes you feel very alone. Surviving the situation is the best way. 10th grade with real friends finally!

  • This was awkward. I feel strange now. I don't like this.

  • Wow, that was the best video I have watched so far on youtube.

    Hank just passed John as my favourite brother to watch.

    Yes, I do in fact keep score.

  • I hope I'm not the only one who clapped at the end of that rant.

  • Thank you Hank.

  • 212 people are friends and family of that man

  • A FRIKKIN FOAM HAT!

  • lol gotta love hank

  • this is one of my favorite videos, just because he gets so... angry. I dunno, he seems so easy going, that was just awesome. and just as an omen of epicness:IT WAS UPLOADED ON MY BIRTHDAY GUYS.

  • Wouldn't the exact opposite be cowardice in the face of a much stronger friend?

  • @musicmama888 no. Double negative.

    The opposite of bravery (courage in the face of a foe) would be cowardice (fear in the face of a foe). Much like how the reciprocal of 1/3 is 3. Not -3.

  • Best bullying advice I've heard. Thanks Hank, 1 1/2 years of high school to go

  • This has happened to me on several occasions when I was younger. When I got older I got very muscular and big, and I guess kinda scary, and all of this sort of bullying on bicycles and otherwise completely stopped. You are right, they are cowards. They are looking for someone who they think they can intimidate, and can only gather the courage to try from the safety of a miniature tank. People like that will continue to harass certain folks forever, but you aren't responsible for them.

  • How I deal with bullying or occaisionally rude comments is to not care, if they have no direct effect in your life or you do not love them, then their opinion can rot in hell.

  • Hank, where were you when I needed this? I'm crying from hearing this. I went to a small school for 9 years and was bullied terribly. And you're right. You don't deal with it, you survive it. I'm in a better situation now, but I'm still working through my issues from being bullied, but still. Thank you, Hank. You show me that someone else understands.

  • Watching this video made me feel better about myself and helped me realize that I'm not the coward, the bitch who insults me from where she's surrounded by more laughing bitches is the coward.

    I love you. DFTBA, not that you ever do :) <3

  • I don't have an emoticon for standing up and/or applauding, but if I did, you'd see it here.

  • the fact you say sir at the end of i am not a pussy makes me laugh so much

  • @carlasue88 I abso-freaking-lutely concur. It makes me so angry that all of the worst curse insults surround calling the other person a woman. I feel like examining the worst curse words say just as much about society as the best compliments. For example, the best thing a woman can be is small, quiet and submissive (otherwise she's a "fat bitch") but worst thing anyone can be in the first place is a woman. Gah!

  • I

    fucking

    LOVE YOU!

  • Actually, you both are egocentric, him for being a jerk, you for caring about why. ;)

    Most bullies are bullied themselves, typically by their parents, thus they lash out. Others are pressured by a stupid society that makes people believe they have to be stupid people to be a person. But meh, the dynamics of the bully situation is typically that the bully has more problems than the bullied. Source: Personal experience being the bullied.

  • It sounds like younger Hank is basically me.

  • i was never bullied because for some reason EVERYONE thought i was a great fighter. so they decided to not mess with the BOSS know an ME.

  • @getotp69 Well, judging by your incessant use of the word, "pussy", this leads me to believe that you are still a virgin and still live with your parents, and the more you try to prove me wrong, the truer it is. Just saying', of course.

  • Why do you accept the premise of the insult of "pussy"? Like, "oh you're just like a vagina, you know, 'cause chicks are weak and easily frightened." Not cool.

  • lol it's a second over 4 minutes.

  • At 2:30 Hank is such a boss!

  • For you people that say you were bullied, i used to be a bully, and frankly besides incertainty about myself and the desire to be recognized through the afflictions of others, there wasn't much of a reason. I think bullies just lack the ability to sympathize with people, but that too changes. And i have to say i had remorse about it, about the suffering i dealt. But that also passes.

  • You are so rocking the NERD shirt. I haven't seen it on anyone else apart from charlieissocoollike before.

  • Um, Hank, I think the word 'vernacular' is out of his vernacular

  • I survived the bullying too, and it did get better! :)

  • @MsEmmyD yeh me too, i'm a grown up now, but it can still bring a tear to my eye

  • @didntfinishsoup2

    Everything is offensive on the internet. You could put a sack of potatoes on a stove and they would come to your house, take those potatoes of the stove, yell at you, take your potatoes, and fry them until they're nice and crispy.

  • And this is what I get for not watching your videos over the summer :( really could have used this. but thank you anyway :) I had that same feeling of "what did I do to make this person say that about me?" for the longest time, and it sucked.

  • Typo!! HOW* not he

    

  • You have the nerd shirt. I love you.

  • The only thing you have in common with a pussy is the fact that I want to hug you. Cat's people! I'm talking cats!

  • @Redthewarrior That's lucky, because I'm not sure how it would be physically possible otherwise.

  • I love you, Hank Green. 

  • Thank you. This helped me, cause today somebody asked me what was wrong with me cuz i wanted to be a decent student. At first the comment made me wanna cry. But then i remembered this video :) thx hank im reminded it wasnt me it was the bitch sitting next to me.

  • Hank. Breathe.

  • I love you, Hank.

  • Dude, your're not even a pussy. . .

  • hank you are perfect okay

  • Typo in the description. "...and he he dealt with it..." should be "...and how he dealt with it..."

  • The venn diagram of the people who leave a negative/ignorant comment on this video and the people who aren't worth listening to... is a circle.

  • PUSSY!

  • i have so much respect for you right now Hank, your words are very wise, and your advice for survival cannot be more true

  • best bullying tip i ever got; hang out with people who dont bully you

  • @getotp69 dude i advise you to remove yourself from this channel, and realise that if you're rude to either Hank, John or a fellow nerdfighter again, you will not hear the end of it, and you WILL be out-dissed. i know this because we've got the famous words of shakespeare on our side.

  • @CrazedAuthor i know this is late, but i just had to voice my agreement. hear hear; very well said

  • Okay, I love this rant to death, but the one moment I kept playing over and over was "frickin' foam hat".

  • Stuff about people getting bullied always makes me wish I was there to make it better :( You obviously turned out great though :D

  • look how red he gets. Hank is piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissed

  • I feel your pain, Hank. A few months back, I went through a similar ordeal where a passing motorist almost knocked me off my bike and then proceeded on to flip me the bird. I love how polite people are...

  • IAMSURROUNDEDBYAIR. <3 I love you <3

  • This makes me feel better about the need to just shout "Just ignore it, shut up and take it, it will end one day and that's that." :/

  • Hank, you're awesome. I wasn't ever really bullied growing up, but this video helped me feel better after dealing with assholes all day at work. Thank you, and DFTBA. Not that you ever do, but ya know :)

  • Okay. Odd.

    Youtube stopped the video 3 seconds in. Apparently warning about mild curse words scares YouTube.com

  • This world does not have enough Hank and John Greens...

  • After watching this video, my self-esteem shot up times 10.

    Thank you!!

  • Hank, you are amazing. We love and thank you for being you -3

  • On the bright side he didn't call you a dick

  • I AM NOT A PUSSY..... Sir

    pure win

  • Hank is so mad xD.

    It's awesome.

  • Dont mess with Hank, he will tear you appart...WITH WORDS!

  • You owe me a second, Hank.

  • i bet the guy that called you a pussy was a sitzpinkler

  • Wow there vids are very interesting, personally he did have a point when he was talking about how the dude was protected by metal and him yea no so much..... Gravity is an ass......

  • 2:28 im not the only one that trembled a little bit when he said that am i

  • @CommedyCommedy

    that makes no sense.

  • This is one of the only Nerdfighter videos of which I wanted to cry. I do not like to see Hank this angry and it makes me think of how much I was teased and tortured when I was a kid. I cried, I hated myself and my life too. I survived but it still makes me think of what I did so wrong that I did to (NOT) deserve that treatment. (I say not because it wasn't my fault and I didn't deserve it...cont'd)

  • @kirkygirl @kirkygirl Cont'd. Hank, not everyone in Missoula (sp?) is as cool as you. Not everyone has an album on the billboard charts, has a million cool books and toys at his house, has his own entrepreneurial success story combining the best of technology and the internet, has a funny and awesome wife, brother and sister-in-law, an adorable nephew, and is such a goofball and loves making others not only laugh but think critically. Thank you! :D

  • When Hank said "I. Pity.You.", please tell me I'm not the only one who thought of Harry Potter.

  • @FamGamebreaker Kid? He's fucking married you fucking fuck of a fucking fuck fuck fuck I'm so strong I can swear more than a mature man, I am more mature though I lack the comprehensive knowledge to realize I am not stating a strong point.

  • @FamGamebreaker I feel sorry for you.

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all wheels circular? It was kind of pointless to say "circular wheels"

  • @JustTheAverageNerd Not pointless...It was redundant

  • @kavyamj Yes, I see what you're saying but I also just realized that to be circular, you can't really have any points. So it may have been pointless after all. But I also agree with your word choice.

  • As long as you where not ridding a swing though frame bike with tassels I think your ok...

    (unless you ride it ironicly then your a douche)

    Ride a motorcycle and cycle so i know what your talking about some days it can get a bit scary out on the road....

  • I love you Hank.

  • Aww snap.

  • I feel that this video is a great psychological outlook to the majority of America nowadays.

  • Most annoying insult ever.

    As a seven/six year old I repeatedly was subjected to hearing "girls go to collage to get more knowledge, and boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider" in a very annoying, nasally voice. This was the most annoying insult ever, because besides from the fact that it was sooo sexist and I was years ahead of them intellectually, it is grammatically incorrect. "get more stupider" is obviously a phrase uttered by someone who "goes to collage". Besides, I'd take space flight

  • @Glaucidae you spelled college wrong. and i totally agree with you. i don't understand why or who came up with this, but i would like to punch them in the face.

  • @ManjotKaur97 And YOU have an un-capitolized "I" Just so were even. Heh.

  • @Glaucidae we're. sorry!

  • @Glaucidae damn. that but is supposed to be an and.

  • Hank ...was tight that day! WOW ! nothing ..that guy in the car is a douche bag..

  • I freaking love tumblr too.

  • "I AM WEARING A FRICKING FOAM HAT!!!!!" Be right back dying.....

  • @JoyRay156 hey you're not alone. nerdfighteria will always be here for you! :)

  • @JoyRay156 Oh my, well I'm pretty sure Nerdfighters will never do anything like that, and in fact will probably do the exact opposite

  • this Video is one second too long!

  • Hank, I'd just like to say: thank you.

    Thank you for being awesome. For your incredibly accurate description of bullying -- "physically and psychologically tortured." (I had never thought of it in that way, but it's so true.) For all of this. I just wish that I could've heard these things about five years ago.

    Thank you.

  • When I was a younger girl I didn't even understand that I was being bullied, I just thought there was something wrong with me and that's why my group of female friends psychologically tortured me. If anyone is being bullied, or if anyone is repeatedly making you feel like shit for no reason; it is not your fault, listen to Hank, he is awesome.

  • It's really great to hear someone who's been there talk about the problem of bullying in a sensible, comforting, but still kickass manner.

    Great video, Hank. I've always thought of my bullies as being cowards with nothing better to do in their lives than make me feel inferior, and you just reinforced that.

  • Hank, as much as I enjoyed your rant, the chances of Sir Pussy watching this are quite slim.

  • @CrazedAuthor I enjoyed the vlogbrother video references in your comment toward the "douche-canoe". Which I believe is a reasonable insult, but of course that's just my opinion.

  • when you get angry you get scary... not the RAWR!!!! scary, more the Hannibal lector, about to eat my face scary.

  • This is probably one of my favorite vlogbrothers video EVER.

  • @getotp69 Maybe you should "get some" grammar and then come back and talk about what's stupid.

  • @getotp69 Dude, Hank Green is my role model. He proved that one can be bullied throughout school lifeand be sucessful. Also, before pushing the 'sumbit' button, read your comment. IF youmean 'You Are' you need an aprostophe. 'Sum' is the product of an addition equation. I believe that you meant 'some.' Also, calling someone stupid implies that you are intelligent enough to know the difference, and judging by your comment, I don't really think you are. Don't you have anything better to do?

  • @CrazedAuthor shut up, your a pussy too!

  • @getotp69 get sum perspective

  • @getotp69 at least he knows the difference between you're and your.

  • Using your momentum? It's more the angular momentum of the wheels (and the fact that it's 3 dimensional) that's important than your bodily translational momentum.

    Just sayin'

    As for bullying... Hmm. I'm inclined to think I may just live in a really awesome city in a really awesome country where that shit is sorta rare. I only have my personal experience in the few schools I've gone to as testament to that..

    So, Impractical bullying fix 1: Move to New Zealand and go to Wellington High School. xD

  • I think I love you.

  • Comment removed

  • @s4ad0wpi "GAY IS NOT AN INSULT!"

  • @s4ad0wpi Am I the only one that finds this comment offensive as Hell? Almost as offensive as the fact that it is the top comment? I just... don't understand.

  • @didntfinishsoup2 hopefully

  • @didntfinishsoup2 CONCEPT OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, I CURSE YOU

  • i love riding my bick on roeds if i come to a rail roed crossing i tend to strike a convosation with the drivers

  • "i am very much not the pussy in this situation sir"

  • just saying if someone randomly called u a pussy its because hes just messing with u so who cares and for those in school if some one makes fun of u and u gave them feed back like bitching and winng thats what they want if u dont bitch and wine theyll look for some one else to bullie

  • @MegaJewstin I feel I need to respond because your statement that by not giving bullies feedback you'll make them leave you alone is simply untrue. I suffered from bullying for a significant portion of my childhood and sucking it up and taking their shit did not make it stop. Saying that "bitching and winng" propagates bullying is victim blaming. Bullies bully to make others feel powerless. Not speaking up often shows them that their attempt to take away your power worked.

  • @DysfunctionalCrayon Thank you for saying this. It annoys me to no end when people act like "sucking it up" and ignoring the problem magically makes it go away, when in reality it only encourages bullying as acceptable and puts down the victim and their self esteem.

  • i enjoyed this

  • @gameboysw i should specify. i enjoyed the message he was sending

  • Calling someone a pussy isn't really an insult. Vaginas can withstand large amounts of weight while a penis can be crushed easily.

  • Hank and/or John, whoever feels like answering this really,

    How bad exactly did bullying get for you? You say "physical and psychological torture..." Where do you draw the line between people just being jerks and being bullies? IS there a line/should there be?

  • @SamxRxI I feel that any regular pattern of emotional or physical abuse is in the category of bullying, and being a jerk is something infrequent and not necessarily intended to make the target feel awful.

  • Wow. That really upset you.

    Why are so many ppl bullied in the US? Why don't ppl stand up and yell at the assholes bullying? Why aren't they expelled?

  • I wish I'd had this video many years ago

  • Hank is kinda funny when he's mad. But... That weird vein thing on his neck. I couldn't stop staring at it.

  • I didn't know that wheels that were anything but circular....

  • Wait-- This video is 4 minutes and 1 second. Herp derp. Aren't videos supposed to be 4 minutes?

  • @popcornwithsprinkles you'll notice that when the video plays, it skip 4:00 and instead goes from 3:59 to 4:01. so it doesn't count.

  • i love watching the vlogbrothers vlogs because they always make me so much better about bullies, so thank you Hank for decreasing my amount of world suck

  • I pity the fool

  • Bullies r just jelly of others.

  • I HATE the fact that you were bullied when you were younger...you are awesome!!

  • I wish to marry you.

  • God you're awesome. I rarely respect people, but damn dude. Ending bit, you've won me over.

  • I felt a mixture of awe and fright while watching this video.

  • That happened to me while I was riding to my friends house on my bike I was so pissed -.-

  • Oh Hank, I love you.
