Super Bowl Analysis from an Idiot

In which John talks about his belief that the Arizona Cardinals will lose the Super Bowl to the Pittsburgh Steelers not because they are the inferior team but because they have the inferior mascot. And then indulges his fascination with Twilight for a bit.

>discovers the singular form of "herpes" is "herpum", thereby making "herpes", obviously, the plural form >suggests "herpums" for a team name smooth, john. real smooth.

[@ruthmoore9844]

And behold my favourite YA writer.....blowing bubbles.

[@ScottKorin]

3:09 Spoiler Alert: Steelers won by 4.

[@isabelsong21]

I spent like 5 minutes after watching this trying to figure out how John did the bubble blowing thing. No success.

[@mayralomeli]

HOW DO YOU DO THE BUBBLE THING?!!!!!

[@MusicIan423]

I've watched the last 5 seconds so many times. The look on your face, it goes for intensely satisfied and proud to near-disbelief and arrogance.

[@woodfur00]

Were the Cardinals to become the Ninjas, they would automatically become my favorite football team, mainly because I otherwise have no opinion whatsoever and ninjas are awesome as shit.

[@Raizaiel]

This has got to be one of your best videos so far. I LOVE IT SO MUCH

[@landonellis3663]

The st.louis Cardinals have the cardinal for a mascot and they've won 11 World Series.

[@peaceandskittles]

This was an AMAZING video. I loved it. From your mascot suggestions to Edward Cullen not being real.... top notch, John. High five!

[@xgise]

I looked it up and it still is "Is Edward Cullen real?" xd

[@HeyBrotherman]

And it still is.

[@kate3838yt]

Now it's 'Is Edward Cullen dead' XD

[@RoseaNebulaLaeta]

I don't have a lot of close friends with whom I can talk about things I truly like-part of this,for me,is not knowing where the conversation will go or if i'll be too shy to bring up a topic. But, when I watch the vlogbrothers-I feel close-in the sense that I have the confidence to know that not all conversations are about the weekend or how much one hates math- but they can be about seemingly vapid things & still be deep and interesting. DFTBA!

[@danalberts4289]

WHO IS HAAANKKKK???

[@nutmaster652]

+Brian Lambert he's carnivorous yet he enjoys fruits and vegetables which he is unable to properly digest?

[@TheRogueThunder]

As someone born and raised in AZ with no attachment to football, this is way funnier to me than it is to most people on the planet. Also, If we ever won, I might have to consider it an omen of the apocalypse: we are supposed to lose, it must be this way. Don't question it, just lose.

[@Haleyessie]

correction: there are two twilighters who are simultaneously nfl fans. one is john green and the other is me. TEAM EDWARD. GO DALLAS COWBOYS (even though I'm from Illinois and have no familial or other ties to Dallas or even the southern United States)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! excessive use of exclamation marks ;)

[@jillian_jo]

YES! lol whenever I'm bored, I do that bubble blowing off the tongue thing.. and I have to keep trying until I get it at least once. This just made my day. Also, I for the past week and a half or so, I haven't been watching tv much at all, I've really only been catching up on every single vlogbrothers video since.. EVER. And this is my very first comment! :) I now walk around feeling much more awesome coursing through my veins than ever before.

[@taoshobbit]

Arizona Pennies!

[@jonathonbayer5844]

+1

[@kenziefied]

That was absolutely my favorite ending to any vlogbrothers video, ever.

[@Painfoot]

John, your fascination with Twilight is one of the things that keep me up at nights. Along with d/dx [e^x]

[@hybridserpent]

the bubble thing. I didnt even think that was possible. you're too awesome john!

[@chives123456]

Congratulations John, "Is Edward Cullen a Virgin" is now the most popular recommended search. Also I found it funny that the author had to ask the mathematician about a word.

[@isabelsong21]

Also, on May 8, 2015, it was "Is Edward Cullen British." Followed by the "a real person" thing again.

[@SKoUntilforever]

THAT WAS AWESOME! Nice bubble off the tongue at the end John!

[@thenamesmeghan]

john. green. you. are. hilarious. I just finished watching your video for the third time in two days... I'm kind of obsessed with how funny you are. Nice bubble by the way.

[@perky137]

Ok, I'm subscribing right here. Any man who can blow out a bubble deserves it. The fact that Looking for Alaska was so awesome might have something to do with my subscription as well... :D

[@neopolitan1177]

im an nfl fan & a twilighter & a nerdfighter, so i'm with you in the middle of the diagrams!

[@jessstarr09]

i love the reaction at 3:00 it's amazing.

[@pu186]

probably one of my favorite vlogs from you guys. definitely top 10. the arizona herpums... lol

[@skystreak22]

glad to count myself in the NFL circle. Great video John this is classic B2.0

[@nomielpenguino]

Your videos never fail to brighten my day! I wish you were coming to my town but no worries. ;-) Happy pre-Groundhog's day! :-D

[@almalinda06]

i'm so sick right now that i didnt think anything could make me feel better. turns out, i was wrong. John Green always makes my day. Aaand that face at the end was so awesomely cute that it could cure Emo worldwide. Srsly.

[@FearlesslyLovedOne]

Psshhh. Screw Edward Cullen. I've been googling "Is Quentin Jacobsen real."

[@Darsoid]

LMAO at the end! Legend! Thanks for answering my question on the live pottercast. You are cool beans.

[@bored2tears26]

Fantastic video! I love it when you talk about Edward Cullen. And that was a really accurate prediction! I think I'm gonna start betting on teams based solely on their names. It seems to be pretty effective.

[@fnoggchamp]

Oh man. I laughed so hard at your expression after you successfully shot out that bubble.

[@yoyothriller]

Two things John: First, Bolton (originally Christ Church FC) took the name Wanderers because back in the 19th century the club had a lot of trouble finding a ground to permanently play on having used 3 different venues in 4 years. Second, that was the best ending to a video, ANY video, that I have seen having never been able to complete the bubble myself. DFTBA

[@masterzanzabar]

john you're my hero

[@p00chieMane]

this is the video which made me originally subscribe to john & hank!

[@MarionTheBrave]

GEEZ, I was just talking in vlogbrothers comments about Twilight today. And also, I love being a nerdfighter.

[@annawenthome]

I am an NFL fan and a Twlighter, probably not a proud Twilighter but I've read the books and enjoyed them for what they were. I can say that I am a proud NFL fan. Proud and fan both being major understatements.

[@phililili23]

That spit bubble was AMAZING, I have no idea how you did it.

[@bethporter10]

I've always wanted to do that spitbubble thing. You have gone up so much in my estimations, if that were even possible

[@wynflete]

Thanks again for giving us an insightful Monday and allowing us to laugh at you, I mean with you. ;) Poops! I missed your live chat this morning. Oh the responsibilities of parenthood distracting me from Nerdfighteria. Good thing that the kids are cute. Thanks again :D -Debbie

[@ImmyLovesHerIPod]

"Is Edward Cullen real?" Oh Twilighters never fail to crack me up and make me feel ashamed about being a girl at the same time!

[@rockpaperstuuph]

I'm kind of sad faced to learn that you're a twilighter, John. But your awesomeness overpowers your love of young vampiric love. Also: best shirt ever.

[@Fesph13]

i love the vlogbrothers. nerdfighters ftw!

[@loser078]

whatever it is you did at the end there was incredibly impressive, and I will likely spend the rest of my life attempting to do that.

[@RealVampiresBurn]

I love your post. It sounds very hank green-esque. :)

[@Courtn3yStews]

i can not believe you made a bubble fly off your tongue. that is amazing! oh, and i am ALSO an NFL fan and a twilighter!

[@sarahnade1114]

I heart you so hard for that tongue bubble, and your expression afterwards. Other weird mascots: The Stanford Cardinal. (note; NOT cardinals) It refers to the color, Cardinal Red. So during the big game versus the Cal Golden Bears, it's kind of like paper vs. rock. I mean, sure, paper covers rock, but you know, the ind could come along and blow that paper off the rock and then where would you be? Actually, I'm going to continue this post on the ning...

[@Laura_Norda]

bolton wanderers is so called as it had played at 3 different venues in the first 4 years of its existence, as they had trouble finding somewhere permanent to play. but on a less serious note....OMG that end bit had me in stitches!!!!! XD

[@garishyellowshirt]

I loved this video. Very professional Venn Diagram.

[@AlexDahlberry]

hahah that was funny. When will nerdfighter shirts be for sale on the Ning!?! i need one!

[@ColdEyesColdHeart]

omg i've never blown bubbles i never knew you could do that and now i cant stop

[@Iamnemo1994]

Brief sidenote on cardinal- Stanford University, dispite having the unnofficial mascot of the tree, is actually also the cardinal. Not the bird, not the rank of clergy. The shade of red.

[@JamesJacobelli]

When you said "Are you ready for some football" reminded me of the song that we do for football games in band.

[@MsFredWeasley]

Hey John, I am squeezed in the middle of NFL and Twilighter fans with you... Wow, another sports nerd!

[@aryask1918]

Gotta love the bubble blowing success at the end there ;D

[@TMParrish2011]

On an off-topic note, I just listened to one of The Fray's new songs called "Absolute," and the lyrics mention "like the sparks fly upward." And I thought of you. BTW.

[@ifibreak]

I just want to say that the best part about this video was the end. Blowing a bubble with your spit FTW!

[@emmaborne]

Oh my God, those last seconds are hilarious! My brother used to do that all the time, and I never could! Hahahaha!

[@TexasBabey]

holy shit! you were SO accurate on how the score turned out to be!

[@bananaspliz]

That spit bubble was amazing! : )

[@onethousandsteps]

at first when I saw you were going to The Hideout, I thought you meant The Hideout in Austin, TX. I almost peed my pants in anticipation of the awesome, so you can imagine my disappointment upon realizing that it was in Chicago. I would kill to see you speak live! you should come to BookPeople in Austin :) they'd love you.

[@funkwurm]

hehehe, love how you celebrate the bubble with complete silence and we only hear the chair as you lean back.

[@severelyconfused111]

1) I love that Daniel Biss became a linguist in this video. 2) I love that you find out the singular form of Herpes and proceed to pluralize it incorrectly. Herpums. I'd vote for that.

[@FearlesslyLovedOne]

Oh my god the end made me jump. How the eff did you do that?! Was that a special effect, or just super skillz?!

[@amddux04]

I am a fan of the NFL and a fan of Twilight. You are not alone John. I almost peed myself when you commented on Edward Cullen not being real. Brilliant. And true.

[@BAMitskristin]

John! I can't believe you're gonna be here Friday & i'm gonna miss it =( i have a dance at school... let us know when you're gonna be around chicago again! and have fun!

[@bummercucumber]

That bubble thing was amazing!

[@newbsauce11]

How did you do that at the end?!!!! This should be on the show.

[@emmetgirl]

john, i am legitimately impressed with your spit-bubble skills. it will be totally unsurprising if you soon join the list of youtubers i dream about having spit-related contests with. thus far the list consists only of sweetafton23 and julia nunes, who appeared in the same dream. in case you're interested, julia won hands down, and molly spit on my hand as (i think?) a friendly gesture. it was a little weird. i don't know if this is a list you ever wanted to be on, but i can't stop you now.

[@selloutasaurus]

History of name:1898 Morgan Athletic Club founded by Chris O'Brien.Moved to Normal Field became The Normals.1901 used old U of Chi faded maroon jerseys that were Cardinal red,hence the name.Their 1st champship gainst Pottsville Maroons controversial to this day.

[@The4ToedStatue]

Wow, you mentioned Bolton Wanderers. They're the team my dad supports and it's so weird to hear you say that!

[@mikaellan]

We had a SuperBowl party with my church and I basically just sat there yelling at the screen like an idiot imitating other people. It was epic win.

[@beckstraordinary]

I don't think the word "hilarious" begins to explain how I feel about this video. I don't think "WIN" does either...but I feel it might be a start.

[@Audrey403]

I work in a medical office, we call it Herps. Yes, when a patient walks out that door we chart their condition, as "a whole lotta herps".

[@laurride288]

hahaha i really like how there was no introduction to the spit bubble. it was a nice surprise. also: i thought you didn't like twilight. or is it the character edward?

[@potofmousse]

"Twerdfighter" is officially the best word ever.

[@cravenlunatic1]

I don't know, I think the cardinal is actually a pretty awesome bird. I mean, it's all bright red with a mask. Awesome. The bubble-blowing at the end made me lmao. Did you see that commercial about the LMAO Institute? It made me... well, nevermind. XD

[@TVLover1995]

"The Arizona Mother in Laws" lol XD

[@chewbobington]

I just want you to know how bizarrely happy it makes me when you talk about Twilight. It's weird and ridiculous.

[@DoNotLeaveTheWorm]

"Oh, it's the bird? Yeah, that's disappointing." So, so true.

[@jamesterhouse]

Oh John, seeing you make spit bubbles in HD makes my toes tingle with Awesome. I want to be an Arizona Herpum. I mean, I know there is no way I can be part of the Super Bowl since I have no clue what it is (Is it a carnival of some sort? 8D) but if there were one reason to even consider it, being called an Arizona Herpum is probably the only one.

[@rachelallencamus]

I'm there with you in the overlap, john!

[@xhristiankarlsson]

Wanderers in football clubs names comes from a now defunct team called Wanderers Football Club (which I think got it's name from Wandsworth in London). Though the best team name with Wanderers in the name, Wolverhampton Wanderers, though not called Wanderers, called Wolves.

[@xsunlx]

I tried making a bubble, but I just ended up dribbling all over myself. You make it look so simple. Kudos to you!

[@DavidCumbor]

The club was founded as Christ Church FC in 1874, but changed its name to Bolton Wanderers three years later. Which is the better name?

[@EskimoWizard]

I think I was mostly fascinated by the bubble at the end. All information relayed to me prior to said bubble is lost forever.

[@thehappiestcamper]

Those last few seconds were beautiful.

[@livin4hymn]

haha, I'm still going for the Cardinals, but ya this was pretty awesome! I think they should change the name to the Ninja's so that we can finally have a pirates vs. ninjas battle in the NFL (Buccaneers = pirates) also...was that a spit bubble at the end?

[@sivartis]

My only real laugh came from your comment. Thanks :-) ~Trav

[@PemaDolma]

i love walking around aimlessly.

[@pancakeorama]

Mad tongue skills, John. I'm proud of you and I can tell you are quite proud of yourself, if the way you raised your arms victoriously is any indication. Good points about the Cardinals. I think that The Ninjas would be a fantastic nickname for them, but, they'd have to make their uniforms completely black and be trained killing machines, wouldn't they?

[@PrettyGreenGoat]

When you do that thing with your hair at 3:01-3:03, it sort of reminds me of that thing Matthew Pocket always does in Great Expectations.

[@nerdfighteralex]

I laughed/snorted at "The Herpes." It was pretty incredible.

[@BeadandChill]

Close, very close And by the way... it's February now. DFTBA!

[@TheresPooOnMyShoe]

I LOVE YOU MORE!

[@indubitablyzara]

I love all the mascot suggestions. Despite the fact that it doesn't make sense, my favorite is the Arizona Herpezzes. Sounds kind of like a Greek god. :D

[@ACM929]

Nowadays, this is what comes up: Is Edward Cullen... abusive in Harry Potter hot dead a fairy real a hero a virgin a vampire a virgin before Bella
