While You Were Sleeping is one of the best Christmas/RomCom's of all time. Lots of funny one liners and a genuinely great story with characters you actually care about.

[@SuperChase101]

Home Alone: A very funny movie that never gets old no matter how many times you view it. Exellent characters, good plot, and overall good acting. One of my all-time favourites. 9/10

[@gp3159]

Christmas With the Kranks, starring Tim Allen, is absolutely hilarious. The plot is a little cheesy but Tim Allen's humor and the Christmas spirit are what kept me watching. I give it a 7/10 for being a light-hearted Christmas movie.

[@Libratarot]

I had lived in the DC metro area for the first 30 years of my life and I just wanted to thank you for letting me tag along on your 'field trip'. It has been about 5+ years since being a regular in DC and it is great to see how much is the same and how much is different. Esp in the Museums :) TY

[@lillk001]

My Favourite Christmas movie is The Muppet Christmas Carol! I love that film. Its so warm and has a cosy Christmas feel to it! :D

[@siennabones]

omg, this is contributing some MAJOR nostalgia. There was a 5th grade D.C. trip, and i'm now in 11th grade. I actually remember this stuff ;)

[@aceofosea]

My favorite Christmas move is A Christmas movie. I like the fact that it was shot in my state, parts of it use my schools marching band. So that gives it a huge bonus. Besides the fact it is a great film.

[@Arat1t1]

I just love Home Alone. Excellent comedy with a great actor

[@egorif123]

the smithsonian museum brought back great memories :'). Hope you're having fun, Jon!

[@DarthCaniac]

Jon, Spectacular episode as usual! I can't say enough how much I Love watching your Vlogs, you do such a good job from the filming to the pictures to the editing!

[@koolkittykat04]

The Polar Express - Great movie with a lovable storyline and characters to match. You can't help but get attached to all the children as they make their way to the North Pole, 8/10.

[@clandestinecoherence]

the air and space museum is my favorite smithsonian! i have been there so many times. good stuff.

[@BobIsBetterThanYou]

Seeing you in that Flight Simulator thing brought back so many memories. I got to be the gunner, but I wanted to fly so bad.

[@rachbach981]

Everyone on my Science Olympiad team from almost three years did in fact touch that same rock you were touching in this video. The Air and Space Museum is the only one of the Smithsonian's I've seen--so far anyway! "Do a barrel roll!"

[@TheJontastic]

i just went to washington dc a few months ago, and went to almost all the same places you went to! its nice seeing them again

[@oxoxTwinklexoxo]

I absolutely LOVE the Smithsonian Aerospace museum. I'm incredibly jealous that you got to go there! Have you ever considered doing a DC-area meetup? Most if not all of the museums in that vicinity are free, and it could make for a really cool day. :)

[@GuitarKirillable]

i like these kind of videos, good work

[@jameszurawski4485]

Great video.Thanks for posting ! I'm going in about a month,can't wait.

[@dcccapfan]

If you thought that was amazing Jon there is an even BIGGER air and space museum at dullus airport. It's called the air and space hanger. They have a bunch of planes just parked in this hanger that you can go up to and see. They got the SR71, the original shuttle, like the the one they were using as a test vehicle. And Concorde

[@dmlfan928]

I guess seeing, after seeing DC through the eyes of someone who does not live 30 min from it, I should be grateful that I can see it anytime I want

[@SkillfullyBlind]

you are so lucky a'm a plane geek, so one of my bigest dream is to go to a museum like that. like your videos, keep filming.

[@kweenie76]

The air and space museum looks great, i'll make sure to visite that may I ever get to Washington D.C.

[@planedudea380]

Polar Express- Such a high spirited movie, really made you believe.

[@Crazylegs973]

I remember going on the simulators with my friend. It was just like you described it - barrel rolls all over the place. Surprised I didn't barf like I did on the plane I took to DC.

[@strilight]

Don't think you can take it all in in a few hours? Try the Smithsonian Natural History museum. That place is HUGE.

[@worlddomin623]

Cool, that spot where he stopped in the middle of the National Mall was where I took the same video.

[@Alexpimwong]

A christmas story is probably my favorite. It brings the joy and hard experiences of a kid. All he wants is a red ryder BB gun. But he is rejected, even by Santa himself!

[@turboman69]

this is all so familiar to me, its awesome. working in DC does have is merits.

[@SashaLigress]

That's the thing about the Air and Space museum or any museum in DC you can't see all of one in one day, even if you spent the whole day there. I've been on an aircraft carrier too, the USS Wisconsin or "Wisky" and it was pretty neat. C:

[@TheLastOutlaw19]

my grandfather was in the navy and was on a air craft carrier. it was a little bitt smaller than the supper carriers of today.

[@ClactonRadio]

Looks like a cool place.

[@StephVlogsLife]

Actually I do see the resemblance a bit :) I went to see the air and space museum once and I was blown away (figuratively) and how amazing it was! Also, great subject for your 50th adventure vlog!

[@heavyarms55]

I've been there, its one of the most interesting things I've ever seen!

[@AlexHawkins98]

Elf - A funny comedy about an orphan who, as a baby, crawls into Santa's sack and finds himself in the middle of a bunch of elves who are happily making toys. The orphan is raised by the elves, however the similarities between the baby and the grown up version are hard to spot, but I guess you change allot over the years. The elf goes back the the city and finds his real Dad who is on the naughty list. A fun film to watch as a family but alone it isn't as good. 8/10

[@MidnightArticuno]

If you've never been, I suggest you try and get to Kennedy Space Center sometime. It's fascinating, a lot of really cool exhibits and educational stuff all around the base. (of course, try to go on a launch day, because there really is nothing quite like watching that tiny rocket being launched by a fireball at 1000mph into space (I cried, but then again, I'm a huge dork), but the center itself is also worth the trip)

[@Toadalinakong]

I went their! its awesome!

[@MiscVideos78rpm]

awesome

[@acefighterpilot]

@Jon That Nabu star fighter was a Hughes H-1. It's a pro racing plane.

[@genesisSOC]

@LittleScheer Are you trying to troll? Slippy Toad was the reason why we had such high scores in Star Fox. Because he always had all the bogey on his tail asking us to help him!

[@anxiouschickadee]

I was in the american museum just tuesday =D It was amazing! (8th Grade Field Trip) I liked Abraham's hat and the hanged Tax Collector! The guy from the house scared the S*** out of me. Lol.

[@piratecheese13]

my favorite would have to be "Santa Claus is comin' to town" the original with Fred Astaire. this movie will hold a special place in my hart along with the other movies from the collection such as "Rudolph the red nosed rein deer". they always told a story more meaningful than "Christmas is good"

[@SamSitar]

long ago i went to all of that. in august 2011 i will visit again. like Jon i will try a video diary. your DC video's are fun.

[@genesisSOC]

"Taking Slippy's advice doing a barrel roll" You mean Peppy. Slippy always failed by NOT doing a barrel roll.

[@MrKartos1]

looks like fun =D

[@STLGAMERZTV]

DUD you Channel is the Best! & I like Theory of everything it all comes from how you really feel not just some made up crap that everyone else follows! Keep up the good work!

[@TheManics4]

lol. "its in a dark room that your not aloud taking photos in"... meanwhile we're looking at a photo of the place :P

[@CamBlack41]

5:08 "... that you're not allowed to take photos in" but there's a picture lol.

[@r3d0c]

man your so right 'bout the space museum .. too bad i got only an hour to spend there :(( ..

[@Idontcare9876543210]

i've been there too it's awesome

[@1musketeerof3]

I went there in july It was awesome and had a lot of time there

[@kingofthemooners09]

the american history museum kicks ass

[@Duessa2000]

Loving the DFTBA shirt :)

[@Krazee9]

Did you go to the Steven Udvar-Hazy centre? I preferred that Air and Space museum over the one at the main Smithsonian complex. It has the space shuttle Enterprise and the Enola Gay. It's a lot bigger and has a lot more aircraft in it. Also, I'm now thankful that I went to D.C. in the summer, 105 seems a lot better than 20.

[@PugLuver312]

jon, last time i was in the air and space museum , a HUGE hurricane started up as I was starting to leave, and I was stuck in there for like 3 hours.

[@cuteycindyhoney]

@boyercam The Skylab is NOT a replica. It is the back up station that would have been used if the first one did not achieve orbit, of was damaged or destroyed somehow during launch..

[@richeeese]

Do you find out whether or not you can film in these places? Or do you just do it? I plan to go to New York and would like to know how you went about this kind of stuff!

[@pkillboredom]

I was there like, 2 months ago for a few days. Air and space was freaking awesome. Did you see the Enterprise model?

[@Alexpimwong]

@kickerpunter You are Hardcore Man!

[@jincxz]

Was that air craft carrier that you were on the Midway?

[@Pimpo168]

You know all the stuff at museum comes alive at night

[@armymonkey1]

YEAH!!! STAR FOX!!!! How come Peppy tells you to do a Barrel Roll and yet he doesn't do one himself?

[@1musketeerof3]

I went there in july It was awesome

[@kaylynnj13]

I think the other air and space museum right outside of DC is much better. You should have went there, also. It is where they shot that scene in Transformers 2!

[@vanfar15]

A christmas story is my favorite, it's the best christmas movie of all time, I laugh every time I watch it. My least favorite is probably Disney's A Christmas Carol, the 3-d sucked in it.

[@mcrosco1]

go jon

[@USAFFuturePilot]

Jon, airline pilots have extremely difficult jobs. They are usually treated like dirt. But, nice video's :-)

[@GunivXyrgoon]

I find it hilarious how people think you're still in D.C., Jon

[@Hellzwarrior72]

@Jon if you could go to any place in the world where would you go, how long would you go and who would you take

[@boyercam]

Yea, The SKYLAB is a replica. It burnt up! Talk about the space race and smoke detection equipment!

[@VeeVeeLa]

awww the gorrilla has a baby!!

[@jakers11]

damn you jon thats the place i most want to go in north america

[@TheDolefish]

@Jon Jon, if given the chance. What place would you visit for a week holiday all expenses paid?

[@matrixdevonshire]

That ship is in Navy Yard right? In Charlestown?

[@ShockDoctor1000]

@Jon why isn't there the 1080p option on this video?

[@HomeMadeVinyl]

I'm pretty sure that the Naboo lookin airplane is the one from the 30's that Howard Huges designed, fastest of it's time.. But I could be wrong...

[@Maus5000]

@KCBNtelecast thats in the virginia part of the air and space museum, not the DC one.

[@dasupasin]

Can I get the link to your Air Craft carrier video please?

[@Omellykim]

hey jon was that the intrepid ship? that you went on

[@RenLokison]

@Jon hey my dad for like 6 years worked on the JFK he was the main tech keeping communications and radar online for the ship.

[@JackHoward96]

I think Becka should start a youtube channel. She could do videos without showing herself. That'd actually be a pretty revolutionary idea.

[@spayum2]

I went to the Air and Space museum a few years ago and I've gotta admit.... I wasn't terribly impressed. In my opinion, the Museum of Flight in my home town of Seattle is legitimately 100% better. While the Smithsonian has a lot of famous airplanes, they're pretty much just thrown everywhere without a whole lot of thought. You should definitely see it if you're in the area. PS: We have a better zoo as well!

[@gogmorgoaway]

The moon rock is probably all slimy and stuff because there are so many people who have touched it...

[@systemofadown3210]

@Jon my friend got on. i honestly love your videos jon and your awesome. ive been subbed to the jpizzle1122 account for at least 2.5 years now ansd you are my favorite youtuber. sincerely sorry for that last comment

[@turkeyleg987]

My favorite christmas special is the beavis and butthead episode were their guardian angel came down from heaven and showed them what the world would be like without them in an attempt to make them kill themselves. then the world is all happy without them but then their guardian angel falls off a bridge

[@HardRock2Day]

I went to the Phoenix Zoo Lights. Pretty cool, but like you said, the smell is terrible. XD

[@Anonymous5125]

"Is your posture erect" *looks down* "No."

[@Omellykim]

@TheJontastic i know :) i have been on it a number of times even the uss new york (was docked next to it) just around 3:10 it just reminded me of it just thought ied ask

[@edm9313]

I had 2 hrs when I went to the Air and Space Museum

[@jessesnipesyou101]

if you think those are big, planes you need to come to the air musem in mcmenville in oregon, were the SpruceGoose is housed...GIANT

[@ThePokemonfan365]

Not many people are willing to invite people into their lives like you are.

[@gatorsweekly]

hey jon can you do more geocaching videos

[@goodtimesontoob]

A Christmas Story :)

[@JCarter0386]

I've been there. Sure, I was playing Fallout 3, but still...

[@MASTURCHEEF001]

@Jon note:neither part of the lunar lander in the smithsonian is real! top part is in space (probably burned up) other part is on moon! LOL!

[@MiscVideos78rpm]

Jon is just awesome! He's just awesome! He's just so awesome! He's just so cool! He's awesome! He's just so cool. He's just really cool! He's just awesome! He's awesome! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BBBBBBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

[@timetable25]

SPACEBALLS!

[@FAB12UCB]

[@Hobinator17]

[@quiznos00]

"A bad William Shatner Twilight Zone episode" Uh, what are you talking about? Nightmare at 20000 Feet was a pretty damn good Twilight Zone episode :|

[@ebrach121]

Aww I wanna go.... :(
