HANKLERFISH!

[@burdenedwithbooks]

So this is where Hank first used the term hanklerfish? I feel like I just witnessed an important historical event.

[@jessicarichards8372]

Me too!

[@SuchIsASam]

Technically no, in the outtakes video the term was coined. This video has the second take of that shot. =)

[@BillyxRansom]

Sami White really? john's reaction seems so genuine! you've ruined it :c

[@SuchIsASam]

Sorry about that. I have trouble stifling the realist in me.

[@kallmekrissarchivetiktoks8012]

It is the history of nerdfighteria.

[@kimhenderson2037]

"We have so many inside jokes that I don't get" I feel like that describes most siblings lol

[@DoctorX17]

When your inside jokes are too inside

[@ashtuatara]

Reunion videos should be allowed to be longer than 4 minutes. This is one of my favourite.

[@saphyreXice]

I received a Hanklerfished TFIOS in my pre-order and SCREAMED in Chapters when I opened my copy. If my house was on fire, My cat, purse and that copy of TFIOS would be the things I would save.

[@TJAnderson]

So THIS is the point at which John began his takeover of hankgames! I've finally traveled backwards through time (youtube) far enough to find this moment.

[@tootpaste427]

success!!

[@miriambloom2923]

the "I just verbed verb" part IS IN AN ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE THING!

[@jessicakleinbeck]

I am totally GEEKING OUT right now.. I just bought a SIGNED and HANKLERFISHED TFIOS... *GEEKING OUT LIKE CRAZY*

[@The1650freestyle]

Has anyone else ever noticed how whenever John and Hank do a video together, John's laugh sounds so much happier?

[@emilysorano7768]

"Wanna show them your scars?" *grins wider* True brotherhood.

[@lambentlamprey]

Sibling intensifies 🤣

[@mpenna8572]

This is the rabbit hole vlogbrothers content I needed to stumble across at 5am. Thank you. < 3

[@jamiejimenez217]

this is, for no apperently reason, my favorite vlogbrother video

[@neener179]

I got a copy of the book from my English teacher, because she was the most amazing teacher ever and needs no more explanation. Anyways, from reading tfios, I decided that I kinda wanted to know more about these vlogbrothers people. That is what got me here and gave me such an incredible appreciation for these two. ALSO I had no idea that my hanklerfished copy was so special. Thank you both

[@huiberts140]

Hanklerfishes are freakin awesome, i am so jealous at people who have a hanklerfish in their TFOIS

[@emilyplourde2910]

I got one of the hanklerfishes! So proud

So lucky :-)

[@JordanVanRyn]

I really don't understand why people hate on John and Hank Green. They're pretty awesome people!

[@supervoid2651]

***** People hate on them? When? (I'm going to go kill these people)

[@egalomon]

[@supervoid2651]

[@jacobt754]

[@supervoid2651]

Fortune Cookie And knifes! You know, those might actually do some damage

[@kristinaplays2924]

That was the best haiku I have ever heard.

[@neneburns625]

I love how they genuinely enjoy each other. Their natural and authentic giggling together TOTALLY lifts my mood and makes my day! Thanks Hank and John for "doing good!"

[@dorothya1950]

You two never forget to be awesome!!

[@matthewjiang2095]

that haiku about the galbladder!!!!!!☺☺☺☻☻lol

[@applesandgrapesfordinner4626]

What about my bladder?

[@matthewjiang2095]

Apples and Grapes for dinner im sure you bladder is healthy

[@matthewjiang2095]

Apples and Grapes for dinner my bladder and gallbladder are fine

[@applesandgrapesfordinner4626]

Matt J Me too. That's too bad for me!

[@Calvero52]

I have a Hanklerfish copy. Found it in the bookstore on top of other TFIOSs. None of the others had it. Bought it even though I already had a preorder :)

[@invisiblestopsign]

And thus where it all began, the stories of hanklerfish!

[@silverandexact]

I love Vlogbrothers videos circa 2011/2012... I think the nerdfighteria community got less community-ish after that. Hank and John still make fantastic videos but I feel like I'm watching them like any other KZbin video and not like I'm involved in something.

[@avapatino6058]

Shea Pierson +

[@amiablehacker]

Shea Pierson Yes, I think the community changed a lot after the success of TFiOS. I'm so happy that John has a best selling novel, but the mindset of Nerdfighteria changed after the book came out.

[@nellcade6340]

Really ? I mean I'm new to the community but I've never felt so included in my life and I love everything about Nerdfighteria and I look up so much to these two gentlemen. I've known and read J.Green's books for a long time now but I haven't known (until recently) that they made this beautiful community. Is it really changing that much ?

[@jamesbrixey8102]

Try the discord! It has a great community.

[@madman19931612]

Well, it seems they felt the same, I wasn't around in this era of nerdfighteria, but they sometimes talk about it in their current videos. I hope you stuck around (or my comment sparks you to check it out again), because it is genuinly so nice to still have this old school calm community here on youtube (I say calm knowing full well hank stuffed a hotdog full of beans or something, in a charity livestream which spawned a ton of fanart less than a month ago, but I hope you roughly understand what I mean by "calm community" :P)

[@musichoney49]

They're even funnier and better together than I dreamed they would be! So much chemistry and I can tell they're best friends and love each other. High fives to your parents, Greens, they did a fine job!

[@gbnas]

Every single time I watch this video, I always count the number of symbols when John recites his haiku.

[@JacobHarvietheSinger]

syllables?

[@meredithsherwood7476]

I am seriously considering legally changing my name to Hank so I can draw a Hanklerfish... 😆😆

[@bambi3845]

+Meredith Sherwood Hey, doesn't have to be legally changed, Hank isn't even legally called Hank. Just start calling yourself Hank and getting people you know to call you Hank, then you can draw Hanklerfish.

[@akpsyche1299]

+Holy Rhino well, his first name is Henry, and Hank is short for Henry.

[@bambi3845]

Psycho Wolf His first name is William :P

[@akpsyche1299]

+Holy Rhino oh, my mistake. Henry is his middle name. So it's still already a part of his name.

[@peppermintparasite]

Some of my favourite Vlogbrothers videos are the ones where Hank, and John are together. Because the way they interact with eachother is hysterical. This is the kind of relationship I've always wanted with my little brother, but untill that day comes (see: possibly never), I will live vicariously through Hank, and John

[@whosblessing3728]

The haiku...oh and that shirt will probably no longer be the only one

[@nathanielnelson6078]

which name? I hope it won't!

[@avakining]

Nathaniel Nelson it's not!

[@montannaleveque2907]

I have a hanklerfish. That is all.

This is one of my all-time favorite vlogbrother videos :D

I got a hanklerfish

[@incongruentinterrobangs8888]

"I just verbed verb" 🤣

This is my new favorite Vlogbrothers video. Like, literally (and I mean that literally literally).

[@ruthpayne9146]

What video is the angry fork shirt from?

[@Ixdontxknowxanything]

the birth of the hanklerfish!

[@caroljoyath2o]

Somehow, I think that both of your laughs become much more awesome when you're together! Love, love it!

[@suitecheeks3]

I have a hanklerfish with a purple signature.

[@incongruentinterrobangs8888]

Me too I flipped out when I saw it!

[@jordangoldbloom3691]

"with hank" he said

[@Izandaia]

Whenever I feel bad I just go on KZbin and look for a random Hank and John be adorable together video and it makes everything better.

[@legohanknaruto]

I now know i have the power to make a Hanklerfish

[@adelisemcullens2679]

I want the gallbladder haiku to be on T-shirt

[@thisone45]

So I just followed the link to amazon and watched the little video of John, and I just wanted to say that I think is pretty awesome that you guys are yourselves everywhere I see you.

[@Cardonas]

What episode is Hank's t-shirt quote from?

[@roniyehuda3015]

June 19: GOOD LUCK JOHN

[@vladtepes97]

i tried that dft link and it was nothing but an ad for instagram.

[@gustonrobinson8239]

Same here. They should probably address that.

[@ssparrow331]

I LOVE John's laugh sooo much...I typically only get to hear it in his videos with Hank!

[@ayutechie2202]

[@deafweasel99]

Resham Gowda Hanklerfish with him loads of hanklerfish all drawn with a sharpie in loads of different colours, so he can be sharpiehanklerfishfaced.

[@sarahkessler1431]

But what's wrong with potato GlaDOS?

[@ashtuatara]

Unicorn.

[@AnnoyingAsianWitch]

I think it's due to it slightly changing positions during some shots. It bothered me too.

[@NicoleSalamen]

Sometimes you guys are the only ones who can make me smile. I'm really glad I have your videos to come and watch on bad days :) Thanks for making my life more awesome.

[@brilliantbroonette]

Every vlogbrothers video that features both Hank AND John is basically my favorite. Automatically.

[@rainbowmuppet]

you guys are actually and literally my favorite people that I do not actually know/do not know me.

[@CidMcTab]

Many many many people don't enjoy the actual football. Go and watch/listen just for John's amazing speeches about tons of different things! Great stories and great advice all around. You may even end up becoming a team supporter. It's well worth your time.

[@OxyKittenx3]

This is probably the cutest video with both of them in it. I can't get over how giggly they are!

[@persnikity12345]

I love how obnoxiously brotherly they are, what with Hank ramming into John's swivel chair and that moment when they say, "That was my favourite thing!" "Nothing's broken..."

[@JHYW]

I really love the ones when they're together. They have so much fun and you can really tell they love each other :)

[@DePereMischief]

Craziness! Yesterday, I finally got The Fault in our Stars from the library. Today, I'm randomly watching old Vlogbrother videos, and I just realized, the book I'm reading is a Hanklerfish book!

[@aninagiagoni9025]

“It’s been a long run” - Hank in 2011 Oh, you have no idea...

[@HaShomeret]

This might be my favorite vlogbrothers video of all time

[@LibertyStump]

Just gotta say seeing you brother interact just makes me happy. Your family is awesome. :]

[@NoOtherNamesWereLeft]

Every time you are together in a video, I get SO happy!

[@stephpiano2908]

I just met Hank and he hanklerfished my VidCon badge, my life is complete, I will never be the same again

[@Quintinia]

The videos with John and Hank together are always the best :)

[@olliemoffat4025]

So this is the birth of the Hanklerfish. Love it!

[@oakcroissant]

I just pre-ordered my copy of The Fault in our Stars. It'll come in January. BEST. NEW YEARS. GIFT. EVER.

[@mxandrew]

"It's been a long run" Hank says, 4 out of 15 years deep on Brotherhood 2.0

[@TheScottTubes]

I think my favourite videos are when they're together :) They're just so happy.

[@dawncathlene]

I just got a Hanklerfish TFIOS at the thrift store and while i was sad for whoever donated it, it makes me SO HAPPY to finally have one!!

[@fibonacci227]

I have one of these hanklerfished TFIOS copies! I never knew this was the origin of the term! Love you both.

[@Sophz235]

I love how they get the giggles when they make videos together

[@Rufio816]

i love how this video is the birth of both Hankerfish and John plays Fifa!!! love it!!!

[@RosaRubinstein]

this video is history. The first instance of thehanklerfish

[@DearDiaryCaro]

john and hank together videos are the best i can't handle it

[@ashleyfwtx]

I can't say exactly why, but this is my favorite vlogbrothers video of all time.

[@LieutenantSheep]

You guys are so hilarious! And cute!You just appear to enjoy each other so thoroughly! Glad you had fun! And made us smile!

[@TheInsanlysane]

This is my new favourite Vlogbrothers video

[@anthological2117]

You two are so much more animated when you're together...

[@phoenixliv]

I may not have gotten a Hanklerfish but I did cry while reading TFioS. So beautiful!

[@ashelerando]

THE START OF IT ALL!!!

[@MsBMW15]

I love it! This was uploaded on my 16th birthday with both brothers! I didn't get to see it until today though, didn't have a computer.

[@hhalverson13]

I wanted a hanklerfish so badly, that when my friends and I brought our books to school to compare sharpie colours, my one friend (who got a hanklerfish) traded books with me so that I could have a hanklerfish. I was so happy, like jumping up and down on the spot happy, and I hugged her lots, then hugged the book lots. Then I cried, because of all the feels.

[@KristiDreamer]

#831: "What did you break?" "Everything's fine." haha I love it!

[@MetalMarauder]

Hank is an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California, that was formed in 1983 by Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson. The band has since released 14 studio albums. A pioneer of the American thrash metal movement, Hank rose to international fame in the 1980s and is ranked as one of the "Big Four of Thrash" along with Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax, who were responsible for creating, developing and popularizing the thrash metal sub-genre.

[@kead_davidson]

So this is where the fish in Crash Course and SciShow comes from.

[@kf10147]

Well this is where the term comes from but actually Hank started the anglerfish as an emblem in his song about an anglerfish

[@realtntuser]

You guys are the greatest thing that happened to youtube!

[@xBrii333x]

OMG I TOTALLY DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are now my favorite person for pointing that out.

[@rachelf1992]

If I got the Fault in our Stars which has been Hanklerfished, signed by John Green, and has "this was the first one" written on it, I would die of awesomeness!

[@abitofbravery]

"uh ohhhhhh the illustrated guide to free hugs just broke..." a sentence only ever spoken in the vlogbrothers, and this is why I love John Green

[@Rhimione7]

I love when they're together in a video. It'd be awesome if you got a Hanklerfish copy.

[@favoritanton]

The only thing I love more than the haiku is the look they share after Hank has counted the syllables.

[@iliketoytules]

I screamed so loud when I saw a Hanklerfish in my copy!

[@AuStandard]

My girlfriend bought a signed copy of TFIOS, and was saddened by the existence of hanklerfishes and her lack of owning one. Happy birthday, it took 3 months, but i found you a nerdfighter willing to relinquish their hanklerfish to me.And i am giving it to you. :)

[@blue3616]

aww, this was the start of the Hanklerfish!

[@MsBMW15]

@vlogbrothers Thanks so much John. I love the Vlogbrothers and my brother( a fellow nerdfighter) told me I was a total nerdfighter! Love you guys.

[@cloverhighfive]

I love Hank's contained overexcitement: "Do you want to show them your scars?" - though I feel I missed out on something quite amazing ;)

[@JessWillSmile]

I got my pre-ordered book from Amazon and upon opening it and seeing John's signature there in black Sharpie I was happy, but slightly disappointed... Until my friend called me from our nearby Target telling me that there were TWO copies of TFIOS with Hanklerfish! I hurried there and purchased one for both of us. We are now both the proud owners of our very own Hanklerfish. :)

[@twilightnerds]

I preordered the fault in our stars today!! I'm so excited!! *does the happiest happy dance in the history of happy dancing*

[@EyeLean5280]

Just before this one, I watched one from 2008 and the editing has already come a lot way by this point. It's interesting to see the progression over the years from very "home movies" type stuff to fully professionally produced programs. (sorry about... a lot of alliteration from anxious anchors in positions of power!)

[@NeuroPunkNonsense]

I just bought a copy of The Fault In Our Stars and I'm 98% sure it's been Hanklerfished! Scratch that, I'm 100% sure. I didn't think I'd get one so I was shocked and amazed when I opened the book and it was there. This is on my list of the three best things to happen to me this week.
