  • Some infinities are larger than other infinities.

  • Yeah! GOOOOOOO 'Puffs!

  • I pre-ordered it while not wearing pants :P

  • Clearly, mine was signed after this; RED SHARPIE FTW!

  • EVERYDAY, I'm Hufflin. Seriously, though. I'm too nice to be Slytherin, but too mean to be Hufflepuff.

  • Hell yeah Hufflepuff!

  • One problem I have with that paradox is that you can halve and halve and halve your journey away, but eventually you'll get down to the Planck length. You can try to keep halving but beyond that, distance becomes meaningless.

    Also, is that really how manga is pronounced, or are you just being quirky?

  • I'm so glad that I didn't have to be wearing pants while ordering to ensure getting a signature.

  • "You have to traverse infinity to go anywhere."

    (Some infinites are larger than other infinites.)

  • I'm a SlytherRavenPuff. Do I still count? XD

  • @sutapets So am I, and I call it Slyvenpuff. Less of a mouthful. ;)

  • "Going, going where? Certainly not to first base! Anybody?" - Killed me laughing :')

  • Ravenclaw pride, not Ravenpuff, but good enough for me. NERDS UNITE!

  • I NEED AN ELMO HAS TWO DUCKS GIF :D

  • But John, can I pre-order from the future?

  • Are you and your brother twins

  • @Squeak9614 No, John is three years older than Hank.

  • YAY FOR ANIME AND MANGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • CAKON

    

  • I believe I am a ravenpuff, too.

  • It was torture when my niece found that duck song. Four long weeks of her asking for it over and over.

  • I didn't pre-order the book. I am a new nerdfighter. I live in a small town in Western Canada and there were four signed copies of TFiOS at the books store in the Mall near my school!!!! DFTBA!!! Thank you so much John for signing so many books! Otherwise I never would have been able to get one. :)

  • What was his favorite punctuation mark? I couldn't understand him lol

  • @MrHandro13 2:33 interobang is a made up punctuation mark (i think) thats been spreading widely on twitter and other forums like live journal

  • @MrHandro13 "‽" combination of the exclamation mark and question mark

  • This is now on my favorites playlist. Mainly because of Cakon.

  • For someone who doesn't like kittens that much he had no problem licking one AM I RIGHT?

  • ZENO"S PARADOX!!!!!! TFiOS FTW!

  • "Today was a good day. My brother got sick." LOLZ.

  • Wait Wait! You wrote Paper Towns too?!! You are seriously underrated.

  • I always thought it was manga not men-gay

  • THIS WAS THE FIRST VLOGBROTHERS VIDEO I EVER SAW!!!! :D

  • dooblie doo is weezy waiters thing, use it again and well i guess i,ll not care but it's nice to be polite, wow i want some cakebacon now

  • @MrSunshine108 They've acknowledged it's taken from Weezy Waiter in a previous video.

  • @yknowthatgirl gooooood

  • Interrobang FTW!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is my birthday so

  • I absolute adore the fact that you use the word "doobly-do." Thank GOD I'm not the only human on the planet who actually uses the word "doobly-do." Thank you.

  • sheeeit. He interrobanged our asses

  • 0:05 You don't wear pants?

  • UNICORNS!

    .....

    i hate it

  • "The Great Perhaps" is an awesome title.

  • OH MY GO...THE PARA...!

    ...

    TURTLE!"

  • The greatest moment of my day - well - second, after being asked out by my crush (yes its been a good one) - was you John Green, citing "The Crack Up" by F. Scott Fitzgerald as your favourite essay. I'm so happy there are people out there who love the things I love as much as I love them.

  • Okay. Was it a good day BECAUSE your brother got sick?

  • lol johns birthday is 20 days after mine

  • omg im a hufflepuff on pottermore too!!!!!! :D

  • John, may I enquire the colour/material of your floor? I started thinking about this halfway through the video and I now desperately want to know. You ever show us the rest of your humble abode...

    My bet is on floorboards.

  • I cracked up at CAKON

  • In old days, the bag of the bagpipe was actually a pig stomach.

  • You look so cute with that hat!

  • Today is a good day, my brother got sick

    that's how you show love

  • I put IA into the search box looking for the new vocaloid, and some way down the page this appeared. Not complaining.

    Also, PAST JOHN LIES. My preorder wasn't signed. :(

  • lol

    all of them will be signed

  • It's not "main-gay" it's "mahngah"

  • @Kunabee you're incapable of humor

  • Posted on my birthday <3

  • WHAT meingay? W-W-W-WHAT?!

  • HEY! August 26th is my birthday!!! :D

  • The paradox osnt actually a paradox because the smallest thing possible is a plank metre wich is 10 to the minus 35 metres or 0.0000000000000000000000000000­000001

  • @callan351 That's the smallest length we care to measure, however we theoretically know that lengths continue to get smaller into infinity. There's no point measuring any smaller then that for experimental reasons because it wouldn't cause an effect at that point.

  • Hello, I am from the future.

    TFiOS is awesome.

    Goodbye now.

  • Yay anime and manga! :D

  • wat anime u watch huh? wat manga u read huh? i dont think u really love anime and manga as much sa you love the mainstream stuff. If you did, you would know the correct pronounciation of anime and manga cuz the stuff that mentions the stuff ARE NOT F*KING MAINSTREAM (at least i dont think they are) IDOLM@STER FTW!!!

  • Tonk's dad, or Nymphadora?

    If it was Nymphadora... I don't know what to do with my life anymore.. jk

  • RAVENPUFF PRIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Heck yeah Hufflepuff!

  • Zeno's paradox! Now we know that you John wasn't actually being sarcastic when he said that it was very important to him! (Not gonna lie, it's kind of become my favorite paradox too.)

    Whoever asked that question was very prescient :D

  • i think my fave moments where the peanubutter face and the "Hi? HI!"

  • 1:00 LIES

  • I have to say that hearing you say that interrobang is your favorite punctuation makes me ridiculously happy to be a part of that club.

  • Am i the only one who loses it when he says "AAAHHH Grover?"

  • I feel your potter dilemma, I too am a hybrid; a snake in badgers clothing. ^^

  • Is Sarah Yeti?

  • when you started talking about the anime and manga thing i acctally started crying T-T wahhhhhh! i hate you!!!

  • People stressed out John. His hair will be forever puffed.

    THE PUFF LEVEL IS RISING...

  • RavenPuffs! :D

  • I don't know how many times I have had to watch 'Elmo has Two Ducks' with my nephew on youtube. It's one of his favorites.

  • I think he's read Catcher in the Rye before...

  • People, stop telling me it's a joke. I know it is, I don't need to be told over and over. I was just saying, that's not how you pronounce it.

  • @bloodlightningXD ik people bloodlightning KNOWS he\she was just saing so that other people dont thinks its pronounced like that and make a complete fool out of him\herself

  • Base jokes.....is that still a thing? lol

  • "Right, so every morning I wake up with a song in my head, and for years it was always a wonderful song, like by the Mountain Goats or Hank Green or something, but lately it's been the SAME SONG EVERY MORNING: Elmo has two ducks! Quack. Quack. Two birds of a - AAAUUUGGHHHHHGrover." - John Green

  • Well... At least you didn't pronounce manga like 'man-gay' *shudders in horror*

  • This video has so many good soundbites.

  • teehee base jokes 

  • People, he's KIDDING about pronouncing manga wrong. Lighten up.

  • you should use an interobang in your next novel.

  • OMG. QUESTION HAVE YOU READ DEATH NOTE?

  • My pre-order was NOT signed!!! sad times for me :((

  • @CaitilinRosemary Check John's twitter or tumblr. If it wasn't signed he is arranging to have them signed.

  • Wearin' my people huntin' hat.

  • Warm Malt Liquor, in your pants :3

  • Just based on my moderate understanding of the Japanese language, I'm pretty sure you're pronouncing both words incorrectly. Or were you trolling?

  • We discussed a version of zeno's paradox in my intermediate algebra class because we were talking about dividing by zero and I couldn't remember the name and I was soooo upset with myself.

  • To all people saying he pronounced manga wrong - that's the joke. Someone commended him on doing it right, so he decided to do it wrong to make it ironic.

  • zeno's paradox is in TFiOS!!!! =D

  • Kpfun18. You are an excellent finder

  • It isn't main-gay. It's Mah un Gah. In japanese 2. Although I'm sure other people have pointed this out. So yeah. Hi.

  • I didnt get a signed one...

  • "main-gay" the way you pronounce it isn't right though... and i'm japanese, i know ^-^

  • @bloodlightningXD what is?

  • @bloodlightningXD what is the right way to pronounce it then?

  • @sirdavies94 the way most people pronounce it... maan-gah.

  • @bloodlightningXD He knows how to say it properly, he's saying it as wrong as he possibly can because it's FUNNY.

  • @bloodlightningXD thats the point, its a joke...

  • @bloodlightningXD ...yeah....that was the joke....

  • @ForeverAcinom I KNOW, I don't need people to tell me that. I was just pointing it out.

  • @bloodlightningXD He was probably being sarcastic.

  • Comment removed

  • @bloodlightningXD your comment is still on top, obviously more people are gonna reply. if you're gonna be this bitchy, why not just REMOVE your own comment.

  • @ghina93 And if you realised that people would reply, why did you? Wanted to join in with everybody else by acting all smart? Think before you type.

  • @bloodlightningXD Well then let me ask you this, if you "KNOW" he was being sarcastic, then why make that comment in the first place? And no, if I had known people already replied to you, I wouldn't have bothered. Again, the REMOVE botton is available for you. Think before your let yourself on the internet.

  • @ghina93 When did I mention that I knew this before I commented? I didn't notice, but I was told so, but I left the comment there because once I say something in real life, I can't delete it so I like to make sure that I apply it to the internet too, so I realise I can't undo things so I better not say stuff like that in real life. And like I said, you said you knew people would reply. That would most likely mean people have already replied, which means, no, you needn't have bothered.

  • Today was a good day. Today my brother got sick.

  • So you can never get to the doorway? But the most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it's you and that you're standing in the doorway!

  • I am also a ravenpuff! huzzah!

  • So we were at Wal-Mart today (don't judge me) and my sister and I wandered off to the book section. There, we saw that they did in fact have The Fault in Our Stars. They were signed copies, too. I got mine a few days ago, but decided to look at the signatures. The first one I picked up was Hanklerfished.

  • Finally someone who appreciates the noble house of Hufflepuff.

  • Sigh. Turns out, Canadians don't always get signed copies. ><

    Butlikeseriously, greatest book I've read in ages. Regardless of signedness.

  • Liar. My preorder wasn't signed.

  • BUT JOHN!what if you were at Hogwarts,Panem,wonderland or Naria!?

  • This video is weird to watch while reading TFiOS lol

  • 0:30 How do you know she's a woman? how do you know she's heterosexual?

  • And now we know why Zeno's paradox meant so much to him! FTW!!!

  • Hufflepuffs are particularly good finders.

    XD

    Sorry. I had to do it.

  • What's Pottermore? How do you get there?

  • Wait a minute...you're John Green? I got Paper Towns for Christmas! It was really weird and psychedelic and awesome! :)

  • @ieatmarshmellows123 He is doing something about it! From John's tumblr (fishingboatproceeds): "You need to email sparksflyup -at- gmail (.) com with your name, your address, and the store/web site from which you ordered the book. And I will figure out a way to fix it. It may take me a bit, but I will fix it." DFTBA! :)

  • Spoiler alert, not all pre orders were signed.

  • This video introduced me to the wonder that is the interrobang. Thank you, John.

  • "Mah N Gah" I took Japanese for eight years, I know how to pronounce it correctly. John I am sorry, but you fail at it.

  • @sgtfwoods I think his pronunciation might have been sarcastic.Maybe... :)

  • @sgtfwoods And so do you :D

  • The Zeno paradox is in The Fault in Our Stars!

  • Manga it pronounced "Mon-gah" not "Main-gah" that's a common misconception because of the english dub of Hajime no Ippo

  • @TheMCRedStoner THANK YOU! he actually said main-gay which made it even worse.

  • @FightergirlSora Thank me for what? :)

  • @TheMCRedStoner i was thaning you for saying how to correctly say manga. it's one of my biggest pet peves so i thank people when they say it right or in your case tell other people how to say it right.

  • @FightergirlSora *thanking (my keyboard is messed up)

  • @FightergirlSora Well then thank you for the appreciation

  • I enjoyed the Catcher in the Rye reference immensely. As in, I yelled. Loudly. 

  • U hate unicorns? I just lost all my respect for you. ;) ;) Jk

  • my copy was ordered pantsless... - Michael from French

  • I absolutely love that Zeno's paradox is mentioned and then its a major part of The Fault in our Stars!!!

  • "All preorders of The fault in our stars will be signed. Infact the whole first printing of the fault in our stars is being signed, which means all the books that go out to book stores are being signed .... I can only, like, absolutely guarantee that the pre-orders will be signed. 'will you sign the ones from amazon UK?' Yes"

    Those my good sir, are words that will haunt you
