Hank and John, Thanksgiving Out-Takes

[@daisysourcream13]

Nerdfighter confession: I kind of like the outtakes more than the actual video

[@MattPalka]

More authentic John and Hank Green beats pretty much every video.

[@Tigermond1]

I wanted to say that too. :D Glad you already did it. ^-^

[@homeworkbreak4237]

I mean 8 minutes>4 anyway but generally liking the outtakes is like caring about the people and not just their content in a way.

[@CarverBain]

I feel like the moment where John is being sincere about how he is thankful for Hank, and then Hank tries to give him a wet willy is a good summation of their personalities.

[@Tigermond1]

Every simplification is a lie. ;)

[@BeccaMoses]

I think it’s a very good example of Sibling Dynamics

[@danheidel]

Lemon's intestinal issues have got to be oddest case of pets resembling their owners I have ever heard of.

[@auroraourania7161]

My sister and her cat both have IBS, so it's not just Lemon.

[@samooky]

"When I threw myself against the wall to see if I am an octopus" best line ever!

[@westonsmith3190]

"We've got a whole warehouse of stuff here that you can have. You know, in exchange for money." You make me laugh Hank. :)

[@Abijean]

I love Hank and John as separate individuals making their own videos, but they truly seem at their best when they are together. Also, great, now I want to buy all of the things...

[@bojohnson-apex]

I want a John Green quote poster signed by Hank.

[@HannahTarr]

I love that the outtake video is over twice as long as the finished product.

[@juststeveschannel]

I've often heard of people and dogs looking more and more alike as they spend their years together, but Lemon has intestinal problems? That is one tight human-canine relationship you've got going there.

[@DelaneyMB]

Good one!

[@Azzarinne]

+juststeveschannel Maybe they picked her because they know how to handle intestinal issues, and she might not have gotten the care she needed from someone else.

[@lilywalatahersweet21]

You'll be happy to see who actually became the President

[@JairoCepeda]

This feels like Dear Hank & John episode 0... and it's satisfying.

[@emmetcameron1026]

That story about Cara is the first thing that's made her seem really Margo-like to me.

[@Jumpingoutoftrees]

I love it when you post out-takes. They always make me laugh. Plus they also help me to personalize you even more because they don't fit the same vlog brothers standard video format. I love the regular videos but I love the imperfect phrasings and silly banter that happen in out-takes.

[@belamielczarski4199]

Right? It seems to be more honest, i love it

[@suchaknitwit]

I can't say how much I love outtake videos.

[@iamannedroid]

For someone with a hoodie store, you seem to wear the same one all the freaking time. that's cool and relatable.

[@Norwaycat91]

It's so important to be nice to customer service people! It can be one of the most miserable jobs, but with one nice customer that can carry you through a really rough day! I was standing in line at the supermarket yesterday, and the lady in front of me was so pissy and horrible to the cashier, so I smiled extra bright to the cashier, asked her how she was doing and make a joke and said have a nice day, and she just beamed thank you! and that made my day too!

[@TracyLayden]

Thank you for sharing this extra footage! It's always great to see you two having fun together.

[@Houdini111]

Skylanders are toy figurines that you can put into a video game to play with. If you know Webkinz, it's similar to that.

[@ivanclark2275]

Can you ever truly know Webkinz?

[@BrokenPointeShoes]

Ivan Clark I swear Nerdfighteria is the best place.

[@resul4e]

yes, and if you want a complete set you'll have to pay about $3000 for all the figurines

[@danny1111105]

Except you fight with them instead of pampering them. Disney has a similar thing with all the stuf they own, but you use them in pre-made character based levels (lke andy's room, or a cars racetrack) or user created ones(like a toy story cars crossover race track).

[@EvansRowan123]

I think Penny Arcade said it best with "imagine if, whenever you wanted to buy a pokemon, you had to go to Target and buy pokeballs". Or is that maybe just the new version or somrthing.

[@XxBlondeGothxX]

I watch these when I am sad. Thank you guys!

[@Filet64]

I'm so glad I found hankschannel because I think outtakes are always funnier than the original!

[@ReadingAce]

Thanks so much for uploading these outtakes Hank! It's super fun to watch you two hanging out and chatting so extras are always appreciated :D I did in fact make a purchase today from the website and just had to throw in a couple of mystery shirts because omg SO CHEAP! I'm so excited to get everything in the mail soon! Again thanks for everything and DFTBA!

[@Xenolilly]

I was watching this and thinking this is long for a vlogbrothers vid. Then I realize it's Hanks Channel! I've been watching the Green brothers since 2009. It is lovely to see such a happy family.

[@jen0in0s]

I really enjoy all the content on this channel. Thank you for posting bonus features. It's awesome

[@monochromatic_melodramatic]

I loved the out-takes, thank you Hank and John

[@JakeZaleski]

I love these outtakes videos so much. They're always so interesting-- in a good way!

[@sarahfilep]

I have your old episodes playing while I'm working from home as an online customer service rep. I appreciate this video so much right now 💜

[@catherinesvideos156]

You guys relate to each other very much the way that my brothers and I do. I love reunion videos/the outtakes because it is always very clear that you are definitely siblings and it makes me think about my relationship with my siblings.

[@romantheflash]

Sometimes I wish vlogbrothers were longer for funny stuff like this, which is why I love Hank's channel :D

[@cellopie]

Thanks for uploading these extras! It's always so enjoyable seeing you two actually talk to each other face to face, so getting more than the vlogbrothers video was awesome. I'm also always am curious what happens between cuts (especially when there are two or more people in the video), which this partly answered. Thank you!

[@AbbieElizabeth13]

I love these outtake videos. It's like a behind the scenes video.

[@AhtramFul]

hank is literally the cutest little soul

[@CluelessistheKey]

John is the silliest kind of sincere I've ever known.

[@BFedie518]

I love these kinds of videos--the outtakes of Hank and John being together--because it gives a better look at how they really are. Yes, what they show in the Vlogbrothers videos is themselves (that seems grammatically iffy), but that's the high-energy, entertaining, professional personas they have. It's in these videos that we get a better glimpse into who they actually are and how they interact outside of the KZbin setting. It's just nice to see every once in a while :)

[@christinastone3728]

I'm honestly glad that Hank clarified which senses he was thankful for...Because when he said it the first time, my mind translated it as "Census" instead of "Senses."

[@bspiekerman]

I love getting a notification right when a new video uploads and getting to watch the video mere seconds after being uploaded...

[@laurynrickman7398]

there needs to be a dftba tshirt that says "sincere intellectual curiosity" with an image of an octopus on a wall to always inspire us to keep exploring like john. OR A POSTER OF AN OCTOPUS SO IT ACTUALLY IS ON A WALL

[@MattPalka]

Yeah, John, you sincerely put sharpie and peanut-butter on your face. Also, DFTBA Records is basically my christmas receiving and giving list this year. Thankgiving borderlines on the feelings of Esther Day and when I saw Hank lick his finger, I went, "Here it comes..."

[@JordanEmmons]

Can we get feminist shirts that don't also say fuck on them? Because I would like something that represents feminism without swearing. And I know I can go to other sources for this, but I'd like to support dftba in this way.

[@radagastwiz]

Seconded!

[@AmeliaBell28]

Thirded!

[@monochromatic_melodramatic]

Yeah, I mean I personally don't mind the swearing part but my conservative Indian parents would surely flip out. I'd order it if I didn't live with them though.

[@surpremebob4816]

I think he said something about making a censored version, but I don't remember.

[@JordanEmmons]

Jasleen Marwah Yeah, it doesn't necessarily bother me either, it's just not something I would *wear.* Hopefully there will be another option soon.

[@PuissantPike]

I'm thankful for outtake videos!

[@christinecrawford]

I just LOVE watching the videos of you guys together!! Lol! Especially the outtakes so please keep them coming!! I did take advantage of the 20% off sale, although I was bummed to have missed the dual signed posters. :( And since my husband owns a pizzeria, I had to get a few pizzamas items earlier in Nov too! :)

[@CassidyParkerKnight]

I'm not really sure what Skylanders is, but my brother plays some wii game that involves additionally having all these plastic action figures, and for some reason you can't play the video game without spreading these all over the living room floor.

[@wallpaperkilla]

I'm from Indy, and my favorite line from Don was "YOU NEED GUNS AND I NEED MONEY!"

[@Ariel-ps8je]

poor john, supermodel constantly vying for his attention

[@TheTwoofWands]

Skylanders are a video game series. It involves action figures that you connect to your gaming system and they become avatars in the game

[@morganmartino1071]

Why does it sound like there's a heart rate monitor in the background?

[@DelaneyMB]

It's because there was a terrible accident and the Pizza John merch is barely hanging on.

[@Chris-yi9gc]

Item scanners for inventory? I could be wrong.

[@valerie2776]

it's the sound that dftba's label printer makes.

[@padraigkiley7120]

gosh darnit hank your warehouse is so goals...

[@daisysourcream13]

"Hank and John's Guns.com" --John you sounded like Hank there for a second, or at least a rather enthusiastic radio broadcaster! xD

[@merkur28]

I love how the outtakes are longer than the actual video!!! 😂😂

[@tiggetty]

Those Don's Guns commercials are sooooo good.

[@theyarejen]

R.I.P Lemon 💔 DFTBA

[@annakinnss3103]

john green just loves talking about his soccer team he LOVES it

[@flipppbook]

the laugh at 3:51 was so genuine and lovely

[@CalicoUnknown]

I love how he ended this.

[@estellet1406]

A giraffe love shirt!!! I've wanted one FOREVER

[@j.t.langdon2057]

Skylanders is a video game with exchangeable characters. You switch different characters on a pedestal. The whole thing is basically a large marketing ploy to get you to buy more characters

[@LittleSpaceCase]

Skylanders is a video game series combines with an action figure series. You put the figures of the different characters on a portal and it puts them inside the game, and the figures store data about the level/skill information of the character in question.

[@FatmasterKY3]

John totally saturating the market with his signature haha

[@kaylajean8497]

Matthew Gaydos: so good at knowing things about DFTBA merchandise, so bad at staying alive in Smash Bros tournaments.

[@jordangrooms7560]

crazy in love in the background XD

[@maggiesteinrauf6350]

Sky landers is also a video game that takes real life actions figures, and gives you the ability to put them on a "portal" device and play as the characters.

[@beckm9728]

Honest question (cuz I volunteered at the warehouse this week): is the mountain o' books still there? Because you guys are sitting right where we were packing them and now I'm just imagining the camera balanced precariously on this giant pile of books and it's making me giggle a bit.

[@valerie2776]

Becky Joan i packed them all up! and now ALL the books are done. thanks so much for the help!

[@beckm9728]

Oh wow. All those books? Damn. I still like the mental image of the camera perched on book mountain, though.

[@danmackellar]

My wife, who is overhearing this as she's making lesson plans, said "Are they high". I thought that was a bit amusing.

[@StephaniePhan]

you should donate those extra shirts to children in need!

[@cellopie]

This is a brilliant idea!

[@88sajka]

or donate the money you get selling those shirts!

[@hankschannel]

We do this once a year or so...usually we donate them to the YWCA or to sell through their thrift store....they have a better system for how to extract value out of tons of clothes. Some the sell to fund their programs, some they use to make sure people who need clothes have them.

[@cellopie]

Of course you've already thought of this! This makes me very happy :)

[@88sajka]

hankschannel you wouldn't be you, if you had not already thought of something good to do with that! You are awesome!

[@katculbertson2444]

For some reason, being told that working retail is hard makes working retail a bit easier. Thanks, guys! DFTBA, and happy belated Thanksgiving.

[@pesaid]

As I'm sure others have told you (and assuming you actually don't know, which I find hard to believe), skylanders is a series of games. It was the first game series in the genre know as "toys to life" (other game series in that genre are Disney infinity and Nintendo Amibo (or something like that)). The toys to life genra basically means that you have physical toys (or figure) that actually hold on to information relevant for the game the are coupled with. In skylanders and infinity you place a figure on the portal or base in order to play with that figure in the game (you can switch out your character whenever you want to) while Amibo can have a different effect depending on which compatible nintendo game you use it in (in mario cart 8 I think they unlock special Mii costumes). I know my explanation might not be the best there is but it isn't exactly an easy consept to explain, but I hope I've given you a general idea. Also, while it might sound confusing their actually pretty fun games to play, so I do recommend them, though you do need to be willing to invest some money, since while a starter pack can get you through the storyline of the game easily, there are side areas where you need skylanders of a certain element to enter. Kind regards, PeSaid

[@solsololo]

Skylanders are originally a video game. You buy the disc but you also have to buy a "portal" and little game figures and you go through the game by putting the characters on the portal and using their powers on different tasks. My brothers are obsessed.

[@TheSouthOfTheCity]

I love that you guys sponsor Wimbledon fc.

[@carrionlibrarian]

Someones probably already explained this but hey just in case, Skylanders is a video game in which you have to buy a tiny model of a character in order to play as them. You should probably never let Henry find out about the video game. My nephews (3 and 6) are also obsessed with it.

[@loluphag]

Skylanders are these characters in a video game. You collect the figures and put them on this portal thing and then you can play as them

[@shereah]

Thanks for being thankful for me as a retail worker 3

[@TheRiskyBrothers]

oh god, signing psychosis has resulted in permanent damage

[@jazycool]

Skylander is a video game. A very cleverly marketed and produced one. My exes little brother was likewise obsessed.

[@jenniferleeland8315]

I love your outtakes. Man. You guys work so hard. I hope you get to relax. I hate to say it but John looks tired.

[@doxysrox]

Hey Hank! Real quick, I'd love to know before the Black Friday sale ends, but are the posters you showed you signed near the end of the video what we would receive if we ordered ones like the 'read books care about things' poster on dftba.com, even though it doesn't specify that it is signed?

[@occasionallyalice4931]

Gah, I love you guys. I wish I had a brother, ideally one or both of you.

[@crstph]

johns plea to be nice to customer service reps....ik this is 6 years old but its also december 22nd and i work customer service in a pandemic where 300 USPS workers in my state got covid....so 1) literally pray for me 2) BE NICE TO CUSTOMER SERVICE PPL & USPS WORKERS😭😭

[@melinathin]

Goodbye hank! Thanks for the video! And your awesomeness to the world! And your constant caring for world issues! And for that story about stella (which i think is your dogs name, sorry if im wrong)

[@SomeoneBeginingWithI]

His dog is called Lemon :)

[@melinathin]

Yes! Thanks! I just recalled that Stella is the name of Jay Prichett's dog from mother family.

[@MoiChannelify]

Skylanders is a video game in which you have little action figures that you set on a "portal". Because of some sort of technology I don't understand, the portal can tell which Skylander action figure you're setting onto it.

[@bookchick101]

"We'll wrap some Rhett and Link mugs in the that"

[@una_10bananas]

I love you guys.

[@hannahqwertz587]

Skylanders are a game for the playstation, if I'm not mistaken. How it work is that you buy the little models and then you get the character in the game. The little boy i used to babysit collects them even though he doesn't even have the game. He absolutely loved them, aswell.

[@megan5867]

I know this is super old, but my now 12 y/o son LOVED Skylanders, too! It's Spyro the Dragon!

[@ProfessorPuppet]

Don's Guns! That guy has been doing those ads for 40 years. I used to go there and shoot when I was a teenager. (Yeah, you have to be over 15!)

[@FlowerDuff]

skylanders is a video game where when you want a new character you buy a new little statue

[@ChocolateTeapot93]

There are so many companies that make awesome t-shirts but none of them do scoop necks or v-necks. Standard t-shirts just look weird on me so feel free to offer this style in ALL your shirts :P

[@alpinechick53]

Just got two AFC scarves! One for me and one for my twin brother. Shhh don't tell him, it's a surprise.

[@girlwithasong1133]

This may have been better than the vlog brothers video. Thanks for posting! I've been really wanting that Lizzie Bennet shirt and now I'm torn whether I should order a mystery tee or not, since I've no idea what size they're in. :S

[@alltoomell885]

rhett and link mug lol

[@nadiact-ie5hy]

Between you loving human hair and your desire to open a store selling human gums, your videos today got weird, Hank.

[@nope.13]

5:18 Voldemort used to work in retail... Look where that got him..

[@Azzarinne]

OMG the warehouse looks so empty! I'd be lost with those labels, too. Need me some coordinates! XD

[@Esharrett2120]

I love your videos!

[@SecretFiri]

Guys, make more zipper hoodies!! In countries like Costa Rica, we don't really enjoy pullovers as they are EXTREMELY warm for our weather!

[@nataliaarizpe2686]

I love vlogbrothers!!!!

[@BeccaMoses]

I've gotten a few mystery shirts and they always end up being awesome things like tea puns and WHAT EIGHT DOLLAR PIZZA JOHN SHIRT YES

[@IamThatGirlMegan]

This also needs more Matthew Gaydos

[@doodlepony2]

"The movie" Which movie John? WHICH MOVIE??? You're so successful you put out a movie in June and started filming another the November of the same year I'm so happy for you too

[@ryanbaguette]

Okay I babysit a 5 year old boy who also loves Skyanders, so I asked him the same question, what is it, a movie, a tv show, video game, a book, exc. All he responded with was "uhhhh it's um...skylanders." I have come to the conclusion that NOBODY KNOWS WHAT SKYLANDERS IS. If somebody knows please tell me, I don't think I will be able to live with this mystery forever.

[@miguelrothe6943]

It's like a video game but to play the game you need action figures that connect to the console, and then there's all the multi-media promotional stuff.

[@Sam-yw6sg]

I believe that Skylanders is a computer game that recquires great intellectual capacity.

[@BrassicaRappa]

I love guns and I love you guys so...that's awkward... Anyway, thanks and keep doing what you're doing!
