Freakin' Panther Rescue?!

[ilrbwamhfae]

Well, phooey. I don't know how I can comment on all of y'alls videos (yes, I said y'alls) without seeming 'stalk-y' but I'm really just a fan. The first video I saw of yours was the one with the nose-blow-kleenex-Bonky thingy... and I was hooked! It's true, you know... the videos really make a bad day awesome. No, my friends... they make a bad day... VAN-AWESOME! We really do love your vids, and yes they are my 'comfort food'. Thank you! Aw. I have nothing witty to say.. I feel silly now

[Katmamik]

Thanks alot, Ive spent the last two days after seeing this video saying "I cannut find zee ello kitty cam. Nine, I cannut find it. vere iz the otter vun vith zee beeg tube? ah zere now eveyvone vill beleve."

[Deathbynature89]

Where have you been?



[919media]

Replaying 1:08-1:10 over and over and still contemplating how you did that. Great work!  Love the vids!

[tconman31]

BEEF!!!

[egas2010]

i'm so sorry for your loss. The love fern will be missed

[CrazyManMusicVideos]

how the hell were u able to double yourself and grab the camera out of your own hand? and smack yourself. Crazy good effect. it looked flawless. unless you actually have a twin

[vanawesome]

@CrazyManMusicVideos - Thanks dude. Took some planning on that one! :)

[CrazyManMusicVideos]

@vanawesome would u mind tellin me how it was done? must be some green screen trickery in there too cuz ur fingers overlaped your twin when u grabbed the camera. i do video work too so i wold love to kno. thanks dawgy

[KirstiieKam]

@vanawesome That effect is very cool!

[RickoletteGirl]

Wait, i dont get this video.

......*smack* cheetos~

That part was hilarious.

[ArmchairAccomplice]

Such highs, such lows.

[EmmaPinches]

Yummmm Cheeto

[timoncheese]

The SLAP is amazing. PERFECT. And that's just the icing on a very funny/excellent cake.

[AnotherPostcard]

That was hilarious. Subscribed!

[YummiN3ko]

*smack* Cheetos...!! >:3

[hondo1188]

hehe

[Mzbrandyguh]

R.I.P Bonky :(

I had a quick question, did you get Bonky decalwed?

[4everawelshgirl]

R.I.P bonk. Miss you xxxxx

[comedyisreligion]

Opticsssssssssssss. Funny!

[ginzafox]

Haha! I love how Hans looks Joe up and down at 2:20, classic! :D

[ginzafox]

Dear sir, I think the panther should go on a journey of sorts, a quest. I also think the manly man should make another appearance.

[bunnycats]

why are you selling your friends ?

are you getting new ones ?

[miekoisbored]

... D: Your face looks like it needs a hug.

[vanawesome]

@TheIronlife - Thanks! Sure do appreciate that. Hope to have a new video soon.

[alikidry]

RIP, Kitty...give Bonk kisses in 3 days from the date of this video post. Be happy kittens again - together.

[vanawesome]

@alikidry I sure do miss the bonkerton. Best cat of all time. :(

[zouljiin]

Vanawesome sounds like a German adjective. "Das ist sehr vanawesome." Maybe Germany invented it to describe their love of David Hasselhoff. But probably not. I think it only applies to you.

[vanawesome]

@zouljiin - oh man, what if my name really was a German adjective?!?! That'd be the greatest accomplishment of my life.

[CAranda64]

too funny!

[TridentFinchley]

wow... this is awesome :D

[vanawesome]

@TridentFinchley - thanks !

[princessmel2030]

I told you to put that fern in the bathroom so it could suck up the steam from showers

but no

no love

or fern anymore :(

[vanawesome]

@princessmel2030 - I know I know. All the advice I got... and the love fern still died. Some people just aren't cut out to have plants. :(

[princessmel2030]

@vanawesome ****at least your cut out for amazingly cute cats and fierce panthers

[NiHaoDeutsch]

Hans, yaaaaaay. Fern, noooooooo

[MntlWard]

Wait. You're in Florida? Did I already know that? What part?

Maybe I've actually delivered a pizza to you, even though I failed in ordering one for you when you were stranded in Canada.

[vanawesome]

@MntlWard - I was in florida, for 3 and a half months. but now i'm back in LA.

[badd2049]

Hey Van, where is the lemonade made?

[vanawesome]

@badd2049 - Dude... you don't wanna know.

[Gimmeabreakman]

Just about the best cloned move I've seen anywhere!

[vanawesome]

@Gimmeabreakman - thanks victor! 

[Doosb0x]

I think you'll find that the universe pretty much covers everything! 

[vanawesome]

@Doosb0x - shut up woman get on my horse.

[t3ch4]

LOL! So what ever did happen to the Panther!

[vanawesome]

@t3ch4 - he's still flat on his face half on the carpet.

[gogoasshole]

ah HA! I see what you did at 1:06. You had a stand that you used to set the camera down on for Hans to pick up later. Yous a smart man! Only took me 18 minutes watching that part over and over to figure it out too... Man I'm good

[vanawesome]

@gogoasshole - close, but not exactly. That stand was just a guide, but I never set it down. and how did I get the camera to disappear from my (vanawesome's) hand? Hard to say. :)

[dragondook]

bad things come in threes. whats next?

[vanawesome]

@dragondook - i've been looking around all nervous ever since I read this comment.

[dragondook]

@vanawesome oh! no im good XD!!!! i cant even remember or find what that comment was O-o, turns out all the kings horses and all the kings men are very skilled with putting skulls back together.... just not eggs

[MrMonkeyLint]

Saw the link for Get on My Horse, Mr.Awesome . . . Lo and behold I see what could pass for a characterized reflection of you! Trippy. While I doubt Ms.Tessa would willingly lick a horse, not even a REALLY clean one . . . I know she would hit you with that bolt of logic about the universe encompassing EVERYTHING . . . including hot dogs. And Cheetos. And elbows. KA-ZOW! Panther: "Capitalized onomatopoeia!!!"

[vanawesome]

@MrMonkeyLint - haha. I'd love to do a live action remix of that video with me and the TessMess. I think it'd be amazing.

[Basharnl]

Gonna get me some cheetos tomorrow xD.

[vanawesome]

@Basharnl - ...then photograph and send to hans?  The answer to this should be yes.

[Gimmeabreakman]

Damn it! This was EPIC! (I never used that word when it was hip and now that colleges have banned it... well, damn it! I have no choice! It was EPIC!!!!)

[vanawesome]

@Gimmeabreakman - Thanks dude. But your use of the word epic has instantly made it cool again... so what you gonna do now?

[PunchInTheNutz]

You passed a camera to yourself. That Aussie chick from the CommunityChannel could never pull that off. I'd like to see her spank herself, though.

[Sugartalker]

That was awesome man. I really enjoyed it and faved it. Loved the interactive visual effects!

[vanawesome]

@Sugartalker - thanks man! Someday, we must collab.

[TheCovertConverser]

Love ferrrrn! DX

[Vampress777]

wow. you must have been really bored

[vanawesome]

@Vampress777 - constantly. 

[Shyaporn]

Upgrading to the GH2?

[vanawesome]

@Shyaporn - indeed. This video is actually a mix of the GH1 and GH2.... kinda regretting selling the gh1 now because having two cameras sure was nice for this video. And they cut together really well i think.

[mpgxsvcd]

@vanawesome Was it a hacked GH1? Hopefully they will hack the GH2 soon. Although it is pretty good straight out of the box.

[BlackKat71]

Hans has a very good American accent.

[vanawesome]

@BlackKat71 - hahaha. I debated putting in those outtakes, but I'm happy with my decision.

[tingirlful]

R.I.P LoveFern

[vanawesome]

@tingirlful :( I miss the love fern.

[vschutijser]

Wheezy sent me here :P

[vanawesome]

@vschutijser - aww that wheezy, what a gentleman.

[vearheart42]

I really like your DT770 Pro's.

[vanawesome]

@vearheart42 - Yeah! Tessa got em for me for christmas!  She's the best at being a wife!

[vearheart42]

@vanawesome Oh man your wife is amazing. Being an Audiophile myself all Ihad to do was see the bottom of it to know what it was and I must say that;s a good headphone. Do you have any others? By the way I'm subbing you're pretty funny. c:

[dragondook]

WHAT THE FU- BOOOOOOOOOMMMMM

[vanawesome]

@dragondook - I'm sorry that your head has exploded. 

[Lauramble]

you just make my day every time you post.

[vanawesome]

@Lauramble - ah hamburgers... (blush) thanks!

[ibechane]

ahh the tripod. genius!

[TheeDarkBatman]

I wish I had the money for that camera, the GH1's are nice!

[vanawesome]

@TheeDarkBatman - yeah, I love that camera. it changed everythign as far as how I film. in a very good way.

[P00P0STER0US]

If I could cough up a bag of Cheetos, I'm not entirely sure I'd eat them.

Ok yes I'd eat them all.

[vanawesome]

@P00P0STER0US -  yeah, eating all of these cheetoes is the right thing to do no matter where they come from.

[badd2049]

Ok so witch is more erotic puffy or crunchy cheetoos? Im so confused; I might be  bi-cheetooist!

[vanawesome]

@badd2049 - You know it's hard to tell sometimes, The crunch is like, REALLY crunchy, nobody can deny how erotic that is, but at the same time, the puffy cheetos have a good amount of crunch, but add the extra sexy puff factor into the mix. I could see either style being equally erotic to different crowds. Holy crap, there is like 20 fire trucks outside, i think my apartment building is on fire. It got too hot in here from all this sexy cheeto action.

[badd2049]

Weebl for the win!

[vanawesome]

@badd2049 - Weebl is the champion of the interbone. 

[BiggSnoozeBttn]

That is an epic beard, sir. Just looking at it makes my face itch in envy.

[vanawesome]

@BiggSnoozeBttn - Oh man this thing is taking on a life of it's own. YOu should see it when i wake up!

[kawaii50]

So nice I had to watch it twice. Kudos, man!

[vanawesome]

@kawaii50 - Complement rhyme'd!!!

[Tautudels]

Hell yea panther is back? I mean on the ground YAY!

[vanawesome]

@Tautudels - We revealed the source of the panthers inspiration in this video... It's duct tape.

[SIXNOOBS]

Well, it's nice to see Hans is in a better mood, with his longer hair and erotic cheetoz and all. Just give him back ze kitty cam

[vanawesome]

@SIXNOOBS - We're still looking for ze kitty cam. We won't rest until it is found.

[JakeWithSocks]

you are amazing

[vanawesome]

@JakeWithSocks - Thanks! I rarely wear socks!

[qualqui]

Panther's COOL,...as is that Golden Labrador's big BROWN EYE, but noooooooooo, the Love fern's dead!!! LOL:....so Hans luvs 'em Cheetos! Thumbs up vanawesome!! = D

[vanawesome]

@qualqui - thanks! I love how I could tell that this comment was probably constructed one line at a time throughout the course of watching this video.

[waitingfor2008]

So as far as your camera, does it come with a lens, and what exactly does "hacked" mean in terms of a camera? Does it make the camera function differently? Just wondering.

[vanawesome]

@waitingfor2008 - Hey, actually just selling the camera without the lens. (Hans ruined it!!) Hacked means that the camera firmware has been updated to a 3rd party firmware which allows the camera to do functions beyond what the factory firmware allows. Like, the factory firmware only allowed the camera to shoot 17MB/sec video, and it added an ungly 3:2 pull down to your 24fps footage forcing you view the footage at 29.97. The firmware takes care of that and lets you shoot native 24 @ 44MB!

[nbwulf]

Brilliant sir.

[vanawesome]

@nbwulf - Danke mucho!  (inte-national gratitude'd!)

[BritFilmLover3]

You guys make my life so happy!

[vanawesome]

@BritFilmLover3 - Aww, thanks man. I wish you'd come back to the YT with some vlogging action!  You were great!

[nomiSimple]

BEST FUCKIN' CLONE HANDOFF EVAR!

.

.

. really, thanks for the frame by frame attention to detail in your vids.

[vanawesome]

@nomiSimple - hey thanks! I'm glad you appreciate it! I'm really happy with the way that turned out!

[mariahthemennis9]

Amazing editing! I have no idea how you smacked yourself there, but I don't want to know.

If you tell me the magic will be gone.

[vanawesome]

@mariahthemennis9 - i've had requests for tutorial video explaining what I did there, but your comment makes me think I shouldn't do that.

[trptmbalmer]

The slap was -awesome-. Outstanding video editing. Also: MOAR PANTHER.

[vanawesome]

@trptmbalmer - The slap hurt... in an awesome way of coarse. 

[whiteacidpro]

aw poor love fern D:

[vanawesome]

@whiteacidpro - I know. It's bummer city town over here.

[SpazedGamer]

that horse song was stuck in my head for almost a full week the first time i heard it

[vanawesome]

@SpazedGamer - It's the catchiest song of all time I suspect. 

[sarkazzII]

lol

[OceanFoam]

oh my gosh its VICTOR!!! :)

[vanawesome]

@OceanFoam - Yeah, Victor / jack is the coolest dog ever.

[cindyreddeer]

I'm sad for the panther. =( But rockin' editing skillz!

[vanawesome]

@cindyreddeer - Yeah, someday the panther will get back onto that wall, but then i'll be all out of story-line and that will make me sad. :(

[dandobi]

HAHAHA - amazing! awesome aweosome vanawesome

[vanawesome]

@dandobi - Well shoot, thanks Dan! This video was the real reason I got footage of Jack while he was here, the other video was just gravey! Tell him that he's rad. And we miss him!

[aiefo7]

does that meen you make no more videos? D:

[vanawesome]

@aiefo7 - Nope! I'm-a-make one this weekend i hope!

[Nic33rd]

Holy crap, you're good at editing!

[vanawesome]

@Nic33rd - Thanks! (I'm sorry, i've run out of witty responses to full on complement comments, perhaps next time write a hater comment and then I'll have a real zinger for yah!)

[zukikookie]

Great, I had finally gotten that horse song out of my head and now its back in it, and I'm singing it in the depressed tone you sing it in at the end LOL. Thanks VanAwesome! Thanks a lot!!

[vanawesome]

@zukikookie you're welcome!

[klavierGavinlover]

I afaid, did panther break?

[AlisonDionne]

this made no sence to me but i loved it just as much

[KristinaArtSeeTV]

clone and you touched....how?? How??? HOW???? it looked too real.. im scared

[vanawesome]

@KristinaArtSeeTV - Hans is not a clone, he's an erotic Føtøgrapher, and he likes to touch... sometimes... too much. : /

[ibanpinoys]

wth was that

[ElevenColors]

This made no sense. LOVE IT. And I thought I could do clone effects but what the hell...? I won't be able to sleep until I figure out how you did this.

[vanawesome]

@ElevenColors - haha. you get any sleep yet? 

[messomorf]

Lol, didn't see that slap coming. You sir, do without a doubt, have the best editing skills on youtube!

Oh, and Hans should have his own vlog. Mmm tss, mmm tss, mmm tss. Elbows!

[vanawesome]

@messomorf - ah dang thanks! your comment makes my face, which is generally frowning, into a sporty new face, complete with a high performance smile mouth.

[teamrocketsucks]

[pineappleboyfilms]

nice sweatshirt, nice panther, AMAZING CAMERA HANDOFF, overall amazing cloning around! you're the coolest. NOOOOOOOO!!!! not the love fern!

dude, this ended up being the MOST depressing video ever. i can't believe you give up. this video was amazing.

[vanawesome]

@pineappleboyfilms - haha. Dude thanks! Coming from youtubes master-o-effects, that's quite the compliment. Also, not to worry, just giving up on life as a whole, not youtube. That'd be silly!

[0000infinity0000]

@vanawesome

Care to enlighten your subscribers as you why you might be giving up on life as a whole?

[vanawesome]

@0000infinity0000 - Lot's of tragedies, also, frequent heart burn. Enough is enough, you know?

[pineappleboyfilms]

@vanawesome

oh! thank goodness.

[omgiminafire]

I'm sorry you are not aloud to give up

[vanawesome]

@omgiminafire - Copy that. I'll continue on!

[jessaayy09]

wish i could buy that camera. want so bad. but, alas, i am broke.

[vanawesome]

@jessaayy09 - bummer-city-town. :(  The camera ended up going to Brunei Darussalam, which I will admit, I had no idea a Country named Brunei Darussalam even existed.

[jpoloh]

Nooo! Not the love fern! D:

♫Look at my horse, my horse is amazing... ♫

[vanawesome]

@jpoloh - you're an emotional rollercoaster!

[jpoloh]

@vanawesome :):

[PrincessNobella]

have the panther tel the legend to a true love fern, (replace the "love fern" with a "real fear" this is a secret and it really turns into it again ask panther) and say it Phoenixed into it as true testament to the real love fern...

[vanawesome]

@PrincessNobella - i love your fantasy storyline, I also love your "real fear" typo, as it added a whole horror twist. It gives me much to think about.

[PrincessNobella]

@vanawesome like the way thing play out here, good story lines and a good puns that meld into "real life" OH and i so do love panthers so it is good to see him play an active role... oh and don't tell Hans i don't like Cheetos ;) but my husband loves them so maybe we are evened out .... lol

[SIXNOOBS]

Hans is a riot. Cheetoz is ze most erotic

[vanawesome]

@SIXNOOBS - He wants you to send him pictures of you and cheetoes. 

[SIXNOOBS]

@vanawesome maybe I will

[vanawesome]

@SIXNOOBS - good maybe you should!!! :)

[Brennna]

Love fern commited suicide because you kept calling it A FERN!! Stiil, I'm sorry for your loss.

[vanawesome]

@Brennna - I don't get it. It is a fern! The ferniest fern i've ever seen! You must be in cahoots with the panther. I call shenanigans.

[EvilHero191]

That was the amazing horse song.

[vanawesome]

@EvilHero191 - yeah, it's been stuck in my head for a billion hours now.

[simbro32]

youre videos make my day so awesome....please keep it up youre so creative

[vanawesome]

@simbro32 - ah shucks thanks! That comment makes me feel like a champion!

[JKsWatchables]

EPIC! I actually WOWed at the Cheetos grab and then again at the head smash. This is accomplished artistry, sir. Not to mention, funny as F-Bomb!

[vanawesome]

@JKsWatchables - well thanks Jay!  Very kind words indeed! I have to say I'm pretty pumped up about this as well! Plus, I GOT TO EAT CHEETOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG! Friggin delicious!

[JKsWatchables]

@vanawesome Have you noticed how the best foods in the world end in "tos"? Cheetos, Doritos, Fritos, Burritos...the list is endlessly delicious.

[JoyousCaz]

The love fern may be dead, but it's spirit lives on! :'(

[vanawesome]

@JoyousCaz - we haven't had the heart to take it out of it's pot and toss it yet. Poor love fern. :(

[BrantFortunate]

much improved german opticsssssssssssss.
