  • This was uploaded on my birthday, so therefore I have cake on my head.

  • I know John Isn't allowed to sing anymore(don't know why) but I mean songs are just poems right?? I mean, why can't John write the songs that Hank sings?? He seems to be a decent lyricist IMO, at least..

  • I like to put my stuffed hippo, Bert, on my head. Also, my doll I make clothes for, Thomas.

  • 1:20 (the mental floss eyeball) is so amazingly perfect on your head. I mean, you just need a purple outfit and a unicorn horn and boom, there you go. I'm glad I decided, over four years later, to revisit this treasure (the video, not the pinkeye!!) :)

  • OMGSH. I just got the "this machine pwns n00bs" on Hank's guitar. Thank you, vlogbrother flashbacks.

  • I just want to thank you guys for making me feel better about being a nerd. I was recently sequestered with a number of nightmarishly popular people for a very long time in very very close quarters, and its given me a complex. Consequently, I've lost my powers, my nerd powers. And its been a long dark year ever since. But watching you guys is reminding me why I became a nerd in the first place, and bringing me back to Nerdtopia. So thank you, sincerely.

  • 1:23 ahahah familiar?

  • ...Yeah... that's not pinkeye. :) Now we know. Now we know.

  • You are so cute =)

  • Re-watching this for the first time in a long while, and boy has he changed! I mean, granted he's sick here, but present John is so much more animated. Also I don't know if it's because of Henry or being on Youtube for nearly 4 years since this video, but present John seems simultaneously older and younger.

  • I was sitting with a glasses case on my head the whole time. Thank you for making me feel happy :D

  • I like fezes(or fezzes) on heads.

  • I've always had a laughing weakness for people with things on their heads. Needless to say, my side aches from watching this.

  • i was doing this before i ever even saw this video. it is the only solution for a bad day

  • A calculator is on my head.

  • This was posted on my birthday!

  • i love shredded spoonfuls so much!

  • john, u are a truly beautiful singer... lol

  • This made my day : D

  • I have a blanket on my head cuz i snuck my ipod touch into bed so i could watch these vids

  • Try a laundry basket. The holes give you excellent vision while the feeling is much like that of being covered in a warm, yet light blanket...except it's cold and falls off...it's still strangely comfortable.

  • When you're sad and you've got pink eye,

    The world seems rough and suck levels are high,

    Just remember theres one that you can do, and it always works too,

    You gotta put stuff on your head! Put stuff on your head!

    Well it can be blue, Or it can be red,

    The color doesn't matter if it's on your head!

    Attach a photo of Woody right on to your mellon,

    Or fix a christmas stocking to your sera bellum,

    The only rule is dont use a plastic bag, cause that could go really wrong

  • This video makes me happy :)

  • What's on my head? Most recently it happened to be uh.. a box of band-aids? A band-aid box? ... I don't know. It was great as something to put on my head though. :)

  • A Kirkland signature Premium Bottled Water Label. I always take the labels off of bottles and attach them to something e.g I have an A&W rootbeer and an Orange Fanta Label on the back of my laptop this very moment.

  • i love that john sung this @ vidcon w/ hank :)

  • @smcgaff222 the video of it is on my channel. definitely one of the best moments of vidcon by far

I appologize for thhat run on sentence :)
