[smartpants6]

Decepticons Fill The Basement Abatoir

[Mixonne]

Dramatically Firing The Blue Anchovy

[Nelherbie]

If this was released into the charts I think it would be number 1!! It's so jokes!!

[Mixonne]

I would just like to say that the mixing of this song has resulted in one tremendously pleased ear on each side of my head. That's two sides, by the way, despite my 3D-ness.

And I doubt you guys could ever FTBA!

You rock! I love Hank too! And also I don't mind doing goofy stuff in public. It's kinda fun to have people stare at you.

Also, being nerdy is a a good thing. An awesome thing!

[rosephoeniix]

I said dftba as a farewell to a lovely little friend of mine, and she said "Please explain"

And I replied (with much sophistication) "What is DFTBA, I don't know what you mean when you say, please explain what is dftba..dftbdftbdftba dftbdftbdftba " And the I rapped. And did my hank dance...

Oh the joys of having a crowded train station look at you as if you were some kind of insane nerdy loser... (Quite the compliment! I totally agreed with them!)

How I love nerdfighterdom :)

[rosephoeniix]

I am so in love with Hank!

[silverdragon1314]

second time I watched this I finally actuallyed listen to what he said at the end. At which point I was like "Wait, They're all DFTBA?!?!"

Oh, how I fail to notice things when like a song. XD

[thatsthecrazyone]

Doctor flies telephone box actively! Or if there was any other adverb that could be used for "A" that fits well. :)

[MrsLoveChuckle]

[RunNeonTiger27]

I showed my friend a picture form tumblr and she said "Oh! That's Michael Ar-aaaa-nda!" so I made her a chart with tally marks too. She's up to 6.

[Alexander69aragorn]

I wrote DFTBA on my wrist today. A boy in my class saw it and asked what it was. I said, "DFTBA. An initialism for Don't Forget To Be Awesome. Basically, the nerdfighter motto." He responded, "That's cool. Awesomeness is pretty good for killing zombies. They die from the awesome." And I shrieked, "OH, NERDFIGHTERS WILL WIN AGAINST ZOMBIES!!!"

And then we got into a huge discussion about killing zombies and anime. Thank you Hank! :D

And DFTBA.

[BlondeiGirl]

Love it

[JoyRay156]

Michael Aranda is living proof that one can be a nerd and also be a total hunk.

[POPclogger216]

@JoyRay156 And John and Hank aren't?

[haleyisbored]

Dip Faces Tremendously, Brain Act.

[DeezyWheezy]

My parents were watching this over my shoulder.

They fail to understand why a 15 year old girl in her right mind would spend all her time on the internet watching youtube videos where 30 year old men put peanut butter on their faces and make songs about anglerfish.

I was hoping this one would clear things up...

...it didn't.

[bookemist]

@DeezyWheezy lol. just be glad you're not a guy. I asked my parents to drive me four hours so I could go to the Tour De Nerdfighting, so I could go see two men I spend most of my time watching on the internet, and I'm pretty sure they now think I'm gay.

[DeezyWheezy]

@bookemist lol =D

[KoolThing14]

@DeezyWheezy Don't be disheartened Deezy Wheezy, my parental units fail to understand why a 15 year old boy would want to do the same thing. We can't all be cheer leaders and football players!

[thedesvlog]

Awesome Awesome Awesome!

[SirCuppieCakess]

( i meant younger )

[SirCuppieCakess]
