 Well, good morning, John. I am still recovering in various ways from the Project for Awesome. The last of my physical consequences is that I put a lot of socks on my hand at one point. It wasn't a big part of the Project for Awesome. There were so many socks, and they pushed on my hand so much that I got an ingrown hair on my hand, and it hurts. I am, however, still working through my emotional and psychological consequences. One way to do that is with a Project for Awesome meme review. Last year, I was able to go through pretty much everything that was created as a part of the Project for Awesome. This year, there were over 600 pieces of art and memes. I have narrowed that down to 250 of them. And last year, there were three categories. This year, there are six. We've got Crank Green. We've got John Purple. We've got To the Moon. We've got Other. We've got art. And there was one other thing, Otis Memes. And since this is a meme review, we're going to start off with the just memes. Here's one. We'll never get to 3 million. And the nerdfighteria says, I took that personally. Because John was not ready to live up to all of his promises. And yet, now, he must. Working on my night beams down, down on. Henry Green gets born. Domino's Fall. 2022, John gets whammed in the stomach. I call this icy milk. I say, in a room in my home. This is not my home. It looks very nice. It looks very far off the ground. They took the time to make sure I was wearing weird socks, which is accurate. Possibly there's an octopus named Hank in the Nemo movies. And in this one, it's a green one. And it's looking at beanie sand fur. Good ol' beanie sand furbs came back for some guest appearances, but was not the mascot of this year's Project for Awesome. We'll get to that. We're going to need a bigger banana loca. Because me and Brennan Lee Milgan were trying to figure out how we were going to stuff different things full of beans more efficiently. This is John trying to figure out the wordle with me and just not being able to hit vivid, even though we had the first four letters. Kitty time is a thing during the Project for Awesome. And there was an armadillo, which is not a kitty. But the chat was confused. Darcy is a dog who starred in a good portion of the Project for Awesome. Got a little carrot every time they hit $5,000. So that dog was paying close attention to the stream. John persuaded the chat against tattoos. Hank, talking about crabs. I was very excited about crabs this Project for Awesome. There's always beans in the banana loca. There's always money in the Benina stand. You got both. There's both of those things happening. If I had a nickel for every time Hank Green said, corn dog asked me, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot. But it's weird that it happened twice, right? Is it time for me to explain, Crank Green? Nah, let's do it later. Just look at it and be confused. Be a good crab, the balloon said. Look at me. I look wonderful. I look like a crab. Geez, there's a lot of crab memes in here. I guess I do have to explain it. I popped a balloon and it told me to be a crab. And it said, be a crab. You have to be good at it. Part of the challenge was being good at it. So I had to ask everybody very earnestly if I was a good crab. And they seemed to agree that I was. I once again asking for, give me the crunch now. Donating to support charities. Nah. Donating so Darcy gets a carrot. I forgot about this moment until I saw this meme. But yeah, I did shout that once when someone was drawing a cursed Furby. I was like, it's not cursed enough yet. I have to do a good crab. I did shout. Oh, my knees. I did it a long time. My knees hurt. So at one point during the project for us, I stuffed a corn dog full of beans. And this meme was made, which has made me laugh more than anything else. It's a normal corn dog. It was not normal. There were beans in it. This was also made as a follow up just to add layers. A normal corn dog. It's a corn dog. It was not a corn dog. I don't know what. Liking to eat their cursed foods. Taha and Hank. Yeah, so Taha built a terrible sandwich. And it turned out he kind of liked it. I did the same thing. I stuffed baked beans into a banana. And it turned out it was pretty good. This is a great meme that is specific to the person who created it. It's time you learn about money. And the importance of wha-a-ck. Please make sound financial decisions. We don't vibe check on P4A. I think I said this like the first hour and I was like, this is the, this is correct. At one point I said that I really wanted my forehead to be on Wikipedia and somebody made it happen, though only temporarily. I didn't mean for it to be the one that I had written butt on. The balloon made me do it. Is this a meme or is it just a thing that I kept saying because I popped balloons and they had tasks inside of the balloons for me. So the balloon made me do a lot of things. For clarity, the banana loka is a device that is supposed to put filling inside of bananas. And I used it to put fillings that shouldn't be in bananas and bananas and also baked beans inside of a corn dog. Because I wanted to and it turned out it was delicious. So I was right. Have you heard the good news? Very early in the project for awesome. I got a little bit obsessed with whether or not foreheads are part of the face. It turns out according to all definitions, it totally is. So I gave up on that one. Crank is what they call the crab version of me. Doing what the balloon says. Knees holding me back. They hurt right now. They're not from being crank, just from being in Hank. Make a normal project for awesome cake or make a terrible crab. The terrible crab is what got me. Thank you Choppa for the beautiful terrible crab. We'll get to that. Project for awesome baked beans really do go very well together, just like baked beans and bananas. I didn't even notice there's a tiny little beanie sand furbs down in there. This is just a dinosaur with a space telling on yelling about how you are awesome and worthy of care and respect. This was my desk after the project for awesome and somebody noticed the baked beans with the spoon still in and also confetti that had fallen into it. Right next to the Fugu Poison Blowfish flavored potato chips from Rhett and Link and the mythical team. I have cleaned up since. I actually cleaned up kind of rapidly because I knew that if I didn't do it soon, I wouldn't do it at all. Though there is lots of confetti around. There's actually some stuck to the light that's above me. It is, as John said, everywhere. Like I will be finding it for years. This is the story of the hour. Moving away from beanie sand furbs and toward Crank Green, who at least in my portions of the stream was definitely played a starring role. And we saw less and less of beanie as the show went on. John's big moment on the other hand was this where he went for some purple hair dye. This was chosen by his children and then some mustache pink dye. It comes from a spray pink hand. So it was just like rah. It's a beautiful thing. It's true. There's only one way that you can kind of get away with writing butt on your head as a 41 year old. So I'm glad that I found the way. This is certainly the case for me. The product for awesome is the flex tape that we all need right now to stop the giant hole in our acrylic water tank. Tentify, which is the website that we use for our like donations, crashed immediately when the project for awesome went live. So this was created by people who during those 15 minutes when we couldn't get in were like, I want it. Apparently the chat didn't love my commentary when I was shoving beans into the corn dog hole. Another one. Yeah, I wasn't looking at all. I was in my own zone. It was a lot of work to try and make the banana loco work correctly. So, you know, I just was saying what was happening. There was a magical piece of confetti at the beginning of this stream. Maybe spider web, maybe said electricity, maybe Dave the fish watching over us. Maybe just a project for awesome miracle. This meme always of course hits you right in the feels. But wow, they found it. Was that a good crab? No, I'm told you were the best. Hank using live stream time charity videos or beanie sand firms. Can't you just like do this both at the same time? This is the face. He was so panicked about it. Okay, I like it Picasso. Do you want to Marie Kondo and ask if it sparks joy or do you just want to go through your house and see what you could sell for charity? Cause that's what John was doing. And it worked. When donations are sky high, like a flying pizza pie, it's atore. Atore is our friend from Save the Children who visits us every project for awesome stream to talk about the work that they are doing. And that is the last of our memes. Actually, there was one more. John did a blindfolded taste test and he was tired of sardines. Obviously I mixed the dinosaur ones in there. I didn't do a great job of categorizing it. It seems like, but here's some more dinosaur to the moon, destined time, project for awesome memes. You are a T-Rex at the James Webb Space Telescope and no one can take that away from you. We've also got, I want to send you to the James Webb Space Telescope. That dinosaur mask and helmet really did do it. It was very iconic. And here's just a beautiful piece of art. He's very encouraging. He is on a backdrop of space. I am going to send so many dinosaurs to the moon. God bless Destin. I am once again asking you to send a dinosaur to the James Webb Space Telescope. This is what Bernie Sanders actually wants for the world. I received $500 for charity. You receive a completely free dinosaur trip to Mars. It's a good deal. This was super cute. There was a proposal. And so we made some loving dinosaurs. I don't actually know what this is about. I don't know if I missed this moment or if this person just made a beautiful fairy dinosaur. More dinosaur on the moon. And then this one is amazing because it's all illustrated except for in the dinosaur's mouth you can actually see Destin. We're going to the moon. This is a lot in one category. And this category is called Crank Green. Starting off with this from Rachel. It's just, I want to be a crab. So now we've got album cover art for the hit single, I want to be a crab. This is the thing. You told me I was a bad enough crab. I would have done it again. And so everybody had to struggle with that decision but you were all very kind. Amazing Pelican art. I'm having the boba fish and I got a Crank Green on my Pelican nose. I'm wearing a Beanie Sand Ferbs shirt. Everything's perfect about this. I want this jacket. It's so cool. Now, Beanie Sand Ferbs is watching me on a stage trying to be a crab. And I get that. And I get that I've got the word butt written on my forehead. And I get that I'm saying am I doing a good job? But why is there weird blue lightning coming out of my eyes? It levels it up for sure. But why? It's a sex daily diet and it's natural habitat. I got that beer leaf unsweetened iced tea which I forgot that I did talk about in the beginning. Got chicken in my mouth. We were talking about how a crab's like chicken and then I got a corn dog. I like this just because of how chaotic it is. You just slap my eyes with glasses on any crab and it looks like there's Crank Green. All this big old face. I think that this person was making this like sort of repeatable NFT style art with beans wearing coats. And this one is the crab. The crab bean wearing a trench coat. Jordan's 73 beans in a trench coat was an early joke that I can't even really remember the origin of. I've lost it. This is a cute little one. Somebody at Thawcalf Day did this one. Obviously. And oh, it moves. It moves. It's a jiff. This is amazing at the energy of it. This was a Photoshop job that I then used to create a filter so that I could actually hang out with people as Crank Green on the stream. So anything is possible. And then art was made based on that. So this is like a painting version of that Photoshop. You got a Furby crab. Why not be a crab? You have to do a good job. It's adorable little Crank Green there. Just like that's exactly what I look like. Then then this. Look at his face. And then cute ones. I mean, there's like the kind of horrifying ones with the human mouths and then there's the cute ones. And then more cute ones. Even this one's got a plaid shirt on. Like I usually do. And also you can see this one's got really rock hard abs. And then our final piece of Crank Green art. Here it is. I get eyes normalized and I also get crab eyes. Thank you to Elizabeth for that. I should mention that if you want to see the creators of all of these, you got the digital download bundle. All of these will be labeled with the people who actually made this art, which we were able to do this year because we had them submit it. Most of these, some of these I found on Twitter and they were not in the digital Nerdfighter art pack, but some of them are. And that brings us to, now that we've done Crank Green, we of course have to do John Purple. So obviously John with purple hair and a pink mustache, surprisingly, kind of elegant once he got through the crisis. Though in this picture, he's definitely still in the crisis moment. No John, it's not toxic. They wouldn't, I mean, maybe a little bit. Look at that boy, I love that one. Then he starts getting cool. Look at this boy. Maybe he should have a pink mustache and purple hair all the time. Got very good Pizza John style here. I would love to see it spray painted on a wall somewhere, legally. I got purple hair and a pink mustache and I've got a serious message to deliver. This is a really cute one. You got a vibe and you got a threat. I think that John made some kind of joke that was this, but I wasn't there to hear it. But regardless, the art is beautiful. This is Princess Pizza John from Alice. The skirt goes very high up, but I do love it. Like the color scheme is great. The pink mustache and the purple hair is actually really good. That one's great. Like very 70s Freddie Mercury. This is a really cute. Look at him. This is my favorite brother. I love the idea of this being a Batman Joker, like being a bad guy, but he looks like that. Like what does that guy like? He's not like John Green. He's getting business done and if you give him a quarterly report that he's not happy with, you're out. Look at that man, I'm terrified. Good Pizza John. Oh no, here. Oh, that one's very small, but you see it. It's a Princess Pizza John. This is so cute. I love it. A thousand stars. How do you quantify this? Thank you, Hannah, for this thing. Same quote again, except I'm there now and it says butt on my forehead and John is looking very serious, but now he's got his great hair and mustache. And then this with, you know, crank green and John Purple together. Happy 15 years indeed. What a marvelous time it has been. There's a lot of other. There's a good amount of 473 beans in a trench coat. There's a good amount of bean crab man. More beans in a trench coat, crabs love chicken. So if crab was Pizza John, it would say chicken. We've got a pelican with my glasses on. Got lots of crabs. Just drew a lot of crabs. You got me, Hans Hoffman, Science Goth Mothman. Can I explain it? Not really. Decrease world suck. You have to do a good job. Kimmy made a bizarre beast's pin of crank green. The bean crab. Not bean crab, just a regular crab, but he is surrounded by beans, of course. We talked a little bit about people getting confused and thinking that an armadillo was a cat. This is just a lovely armadillo cat. Me is Dr. Horrible and getting ready to sue some really dastardly experiments. This is my Science Boy Lesk show, Mercury Stardust. Proposed this idea, which I think is a great idea that I'm not going to do. Here's John, a hug in Chewbacca. I missed this part of the stream. There was quite a bit of John and Chewbacca stuff. It's beautiful. They are very happy together. When Brennan and I were doing Banana Loka stuff, we found the Banana Loka website. We found out that there was a Banana Loka community. Here's Never Sneezer Scrooge confronting the spirits of Sneezer's past, present, and future, saying, Sneezing is not normal. I love that he's just got pizza John face. More beans in a trench coat from Louisa. From Luna, we're here because we're here pizza John. This probably just should have been in the art folder. This is from Mickey, me with butt on my head and a lot of lipstick on. I mean, I believed Joe Hansen to my very core that he was giving me good advice on how to put on lipstick while I was blindfolded. He was like, my wife says you should always push really hard. Like, why did I think that was a real thing a person would say? It turned out well for entertainment value, but I cannot believe I just believed him. This, I love his face. He looks very hardcore, but he's got confetti on his hat and he's holding up his finest as kippers. He's wearing a purple mask. Here we are, the green brothers and we're adorable. Legitimately, what a good couple of brothers. I'm very happy to be, to have this relationship in my life. Here's the project for us, a miracle confetti that was hanging in mid-air. Some kind of glitch in the simulation, definitely not a spider web. Some more beans and a trench coat. And here is world suck over time and it goes down and it goes up and it goes down. But over the long haul, we head to a better world. Thank you to At Wathley Original. And that is the last of the others, which means that what we have left, all that we have left is the art. Starting off with this, we're here because we're here at Infinite Auroboros thing. Also is from Wathley Original. Look at that. In a dinosaur costume, very good, very cute. Chaos during Destin's segment, where we've got Destin's mic was not able to handle his enthusiasm. Does not start at zero, obviously. We're just gonna be clear about the scale of the graph here. Started very high, continued to go very, very high. This is beautiful. When it was small, just the thumbnail, I was like, is that made of beans? I can only see beans. Great sticker pack. We've got the Yeti. We've got the color of the inside of a watermelon. It's no. We've got Curiosity Rover. We've got Beanie Sanford's asking for your financial support. Lots of awesome socks hanging out around there. This is a can of Heinz baked bananas because I got very confused at one point. I thought that somebody was saying that there were cans of bananas and it was literally like there was no reality to this. I was just confused, but it was good for the art because I love this can of Heinz baked bananas. This is from Catherine Lou. It's a watercolor page of a lot of the things that went down during the Project for Awesome. So you've got all the good stuff here. You've got dinosaurs in love on the moon. You've got me being a crab. You've got beans inside of a corn dog. You've got John Purple. You've got beans in trench coat. You've got Darcy. You've got Crank Green. Thank you for sharing your skill and talent. Some more dinosaurs in love on the moon. This is the template for the beans in trench coats. Here's one of them. This is Crank Green and then there's John Purple. Should I make this my icon on Twitter? I mean, yeah, I should. This is what it's like to be inside the Project for Awesome. Here's more of Crank Green's science playlist show. I do need to get a crab shirt. The lights soaked, days are coming. I thought this was really pretty. The hope is the thing with Emily Dickinson's forks. Can I explain that to you quickly? No, I kind of can't. I just have to move on. Here is Chapa's ridiculous Crank Green cake. This is an actual cake that you could actually eat. And it's me as a crab. I don't need to talk more about that. You understand how amazing that is. John and I have done very few like photo shoots together. We did one at VidCon where this picture came from that you may have seen of us on a yellow background. And to adapt it to include John Purple and Crank Green, you are a good burrito, self-care bunny, DFTBA baked beans with some confetti in it. Don't forget to be aunt. Don't forget to be aunt. You got more going to the moon. You got Hanklerfish tie-dye art. You got Darcy being an absolute monarch here. You got John Green being some kind of monarch as well. I don't know where this came from. I don't know if this was referencing anything in particular or if they just did it. This is a beautiful piece of art of the cake itself. This said, this is notable. And I don't know if this was something that was set on stream or if it's just a banana with this is notable underneath it, but I liked it a lot. We're here because we're here. Art, Taha's really bad sandwich. I gotta say, I would hate this sandwich. Full screen, three million excitement with the dinosaur and the crab and the John, John Purple all together. Here's some art that somebody did of I think themselves enjoying the Project for Awesome over a long weekend. I didn't see this one during the P for A at all. So this one came up afterwards and that this pelican with Crank Green in its mouth was just absolutely extraordinarily charming to me. So thank you so much for making that. 23 flavors of confetti, Dr. Bebe, DFTB. This sticker sheet, very good. I don't get this one. I don't know what's going on from Sylvia here. I don't know if this is a reference to something, but it's really special. Things that make me laugh in this image. One, the giraffe's horn is hitting one of the lights because it's so tall. Two, the giraffe is lifting its hand up so it can read its notes with its little backwards knee. Three, there's another giraffe in the audience watching which gives me the vibe of supportive family member and or significant death. Four, it's got my guitar and the open mic host is wearing a pizza junk shirt. Five, the woman's face as she looks to her friend like, what is happening right now? That woman is all of us. And then maybe six, the face of the open mic host who's like, I don't know how to get the mic up to your mouth. Sylvia, thank you so much. And then we have just because you pelican doesn't mean you pelish should. Never follow that advice during the project for us but I never will. And finally, though I absolutely do want to go on forever and ever. I'm gonna end with a piece of art that it was unexpected to me. I didn't expect to get what this is which is a poetry collection of things that we said during the project for awesome. Get your greasy corn dog hands off dictionary.com. Face industrial complex for the love of God. We lose no one at the Dynaspace program. Oh no, we did lose someone destined to float forever feeling the air leak out and the void rush in. This is what the balloon told me to do is what I will say to my wife later tonight. That was because I just written butt on my forehead. You can read that whole thing if you got the digital download bundle as well as several other non meme creations and all of the art and memes that I didn't have time to show you on here. John and everyone who participated in the project for awesome no matter how you participated, thank you so much for all of your enthusiasm, your creations, your donations, your videos, your votes. It was really wonderful and exactly what I needed at that moment. Thank you. Meme reviews are exempt from the four minute time limit as established last year. And John, I will see you on Tuesday.
