ONE MILLION NERDFIGHTERS!

[@ethanabelar]

This video acts for me as an indefinite date in which I subscribed to the Vlogbrothers channel. I am so happy to be a part of this with everybody involved. This community is incredible, and I'm ready for many more years. Thank you guys.

[@Melodyeen]

It was John's video about Understanding the Budget Deficit, I saw someone share it on facebook in November of 2012. At the time I was living in Cambodia, working (well, volunteering) at an orphanage in Phnom Penh teaching English, Music, and Computer Literacy for a Service Organization that I was working to start with some college colleagues of mine. The organization didn't really take off, but I was their first 'on-the-ground' teacher. After that first video, I explored the channel and watched vlogbrothers videos for hours on end. It became a comfortable, safe place for me to be during those evenings when it wasn't safe for me to be anywhere but in my small room. It was the only fluent English I heard for the remaining 2 months of my time there. I've been watching vlogbrothers ever since. My knowledge of nerdfighters was a HUGE selling point for my now-husband's younger sister; I'm pretty sure that's when she decided that I was cool. And now I listen to old vlogbrothers videos while I feed my newborn daughter. I like vlogbrothers because it asks me to think complexly...and be awesome.

[@dianamorales9156]

My first Vlogbrothers video was Perspective and that was 17 hrs ago :D I'm sick at home but I think I laughed enough to feel better now! everything you do it's interesting and you're the kind of people that the world needs :)

[@TangerineVampire]

The first vlogbrothers video I ever saw was "Accio Deathly Hallows" of summer '07. I then went back and watched all the videos from the start, and then watched the videos as they came out in the fall of '07. Been with you guys for the long haul. :)

[@cathrynross9045]

My first vlogbrothers video was Hitler and Sex!

[@alannar.8701]

Also, I'd say that vlogbrothers is indeed pretty jokes.

[@veronicab32]

The "You Are Here" video John made in 2017 about Nerdfighteria and Esther and all that she was. I watched it only a few hours after it was posted, and I didn't know that that was the perfect time to be there, with the best commenters and interactions between Nerdfighters. That was the perfect first video to me, because it drew me into this amazing community, wanting to know more about Esther and Nerdfighteria and just everything here. I have watched almost every vlogbrothers video now, my Nerdfighteria flag and other awesome stuff comes very soon, and I am so happy to be a part of this community. DFTBA.

[@HP7Ninjagurl]

My first Vlogbrother's video was Accio Deathly Hallows, and I listened to it about 2 days after Deathly Hallows actually came out, and cried because you predicted Hedwig's death and I was like "holy shit". So I investigated and continued watching, and you guys have contributed so much to how I've grown as a person from little 2007 7th grade me, to not-so-little 2013 college me. Thank you.

[@sheaelliott942]

My first vlogbrothers video was either your song "I Know" or your song "A Song About an Anglerfish." It was back in the summer of 2014 when I had some of my friends over to swim at my house and one of them showed me both of those songs, and I loved them both. From then on, I started watching more and more of your videos, and then I saw one where you referenced the tiny chickens, and I wanted to know the true source of the inside joke, so I vowed to watch every vlogbrothers video in order from the beginning. Here I am, nearly two years later, enjoying every minute and every second of these videos that I watch. I just want to say thank you to John and Hank (although I doubt they will ever see this), because I have grown so fond of this channel and it has made me so much happier than I ever was. So thank you, DFTBA, and Best Wishes!

[@kalindabittner]

Definitely the first one was you and John explaining what Nerdfighters were, since a friend of mine was trying to explain and it wasn't working. I then decided that I was going to do it right, and watched, from the very beginning, every single Vlogbrothers video. That was three years ago. To this day I still make sure to watch every video (though I don't always watch them on time; I'm in the middle of a catching up phase now). Love you guys. DFTBA.

[@danaladerer7121]

I started watching two summers ago with your first video and have been working my way through them all in order since. I love this community!!

[@jennypenny001]

my first was Accio Deathly Hallows in 2007. and I have watched every video since. I really love this community and the content you guys make. thank you for so many wonderful years. and for literally changing my life.

[@vivianabresch3065]

Hank, the first vlogbrothers video I watched was one my daughter showed me - the one you made after the Newtown school shooting last December. Somehow, you captured the feelings of millions of people in a couple of minutes. That was when I decided to go back to the very beginning and watch all six-plus years.

[@kbeans8865]

I started with one of Hank's brotherhood 2.0 almost 2 years ago on my birthday and I've been loving the Nerdfighter Community ever sense.

[@emctvedt]

My first video was March 25, 2014: I Gotta Go: Signing Off and Thinking about Inspiration! After that I was completely hooked and spent all of last summer watching 2007. Now I'm picking up where I ended, which was a while ago in terms of marathoning the year playlists. Thank you for everything you do.

[@xcarlybutler]

The first one I watched was in 2011 I believe, and it was just a little announcement video John made saying he'd be at a library about 20 minutes from my house in Indiana and I went to the event, talked to him, asked him about pennies, met him, and had him sign Katherines ALL before I feel like I actually became a Nerdfighter. But then I became a real Nerdfighter and it's changed my life. Thanks John & Hank.

[@mmb0013]

I don't remember which video but it was back in late 2010 or 2011 when I was recovering from surgery. I watched A LOT during that recovery. On a somewhat related note, my nerdy husband was randomly searching answers to questions recently when he started playing a video on KZbin. I looked up realized he had discovered SciShow for himself. He loved it and I loved him all the more for it. Thanks for being awesome, Green bros.

[@laurennicole04]

My first Vlogbrothers video was John's Q & A with Nat Wolff for Fault, and since then, I have watched every Vlogbrothers video in order since Brotherhood 2.0 until this point and will continue watching until I am caught up to their current videos. I'm so happy I found this channel! 😃

[@nintando]

same except mine was the question tuesday before that one

[@KristiDreamer]

I have watched so many that I have forgotten. I have been watching you guy since 2010 and love EVERYTHING that you do KEEP IT UP!!! I really do not know what I will do without a vlogbrothers video twice a week.

[@tomwalter4798]

I honestly don't remember the first one and I only started like a month ago but I freakin love you guys! I have spent a lot of time this month watching your videos. You make me smile and laugh and look at the world in new ways and you teach me things, all of which I am infinitely grateful for.

[@frenchhornlove3]

The first video I saw was the one about TLBD, I watched in in February at some point because I was introduced to Lizzie Bennet. Because of this and my insatiable curiosity I have spent all summer watching every single on of your videos, and I finally caught up. Hank, you and John made my summer much more awesome than it would have been without you, and it's amazing to see how much this has grown in 6 years. DFTBA.

[@SabbyCat52]

I'm pretty sure the first vlogbrothers video I ever watched was '31 Jokes for Nerds.' It was shown to me sometime in 2010 or 2011 and I thought it was really funny. Then, I was telling someone else about it, looked it up, and started watching your channel. I think I officially subscribed around when Henry was born, though that's not the reason I did so. Sometime in either late 2011 or early 2012, I decided that I would watch no more new vlogbrothers videos until I had watched them all! It has been slow going, but I've gotten from 2009 to 2013 in a little under a month. I'm super excited to get to the new videos. I am so glad I understand awesome nerdfighter things like Puppy-sized elephants and Tiny Chicken Disease, and I have a completely new appreciation for your songs, Hank! It's been a fun journey so far in learning that I am indeed a Nerdfighter and I look forward to many more years in Nerdfighteria!! DFTBA!

[@Teleringelfon]

My first Vlogbrother was THIS ISN'T HOGWARTS. At this point I didn't know anything about vlogging, painting oneself purple, the lizzie bennt diaries, wheezywaiter clones, the fault in our stars, rocktard and many more things. THANK YOU for letting me join this community!

[@knittingwhilewalking]

First video was "What you eat of those you love". As an enteric epidemiologist I spend most of my days investigating how people end up eating the poop that made them sick, so when one of my friends showed me that video I was hooked! John, I'm sorry you became one of the 48 million Americans to experience a foodborne illness each year, but I think you summed up Norovirus perfectly in that video and I love sharing it with people to explain part of my job!

[@travismarciniak6962]

My first Vlogbrothers video was the very first video. During my first year of teaching, I discovered Crash Course which led me to an appreciation of both John and Hank, so when I discovered this channel, I had to start watching from the beginning (I'm a sucker for backstory)! That was in Decemberish of 2014, and now I'm getting closer to catching up!

[@icedragon769]

My first one was the video on the Korean tantrum from earlier this year. Hank did a great job explaining, and now I watch regularly!

[@nozerty]

I started watching in either 2008 or 2009. I don't remember which one I watched first, but I do remember watching them all in chronological order after I found out about brotherhood 2.0. I probably wouldn't do that if I found out about this channel today because I simply don't have enough spare time anymore, but your videos always bring me back to that summer when I had all the time in the world. It's nice.

[@SrraBrra]

The first vlogbrothers video I ever watched was We're All Scared. I can honestly say that video changed my life. It opened me up to the idea that creations need to be put into the world and it is my, and everyone else's, responsibility as an individual to create. Since I saw that video, I am very proud to say that as soon as possible I am getting a tattoo that either says or symbolizes the message to "Create in spite of Fear" because that quote has had such a profound impact on my existence.

[@LazarusPie]

My first video was Open Letter to the Wizards. I'm glad that my cousin randomly subscribed to vlogbrothers on my own channel when I was afk. I came across a very wonderful community. Watching this video filled me with a strange feeling. It showed how everyday people who lived normal lives can become such an impactful force for good on this planet. It's inspiring. Thank you.

[@kaylaschwartz8697]

OMG AS A BGSU NERDFIGHTER I GOT SO EXCITED WATCHING THIS VIDEO! BGSU DANCE MARATHON WAS ONE OF THE 10 CHARITIES THAT WERE CHOSEN FOR THE PROJECT FOR AWESOME!!!!!!!

[@SuziG123]

My first video was your Accio Deathly Hallows video. I think I may have found it on the front page of youtube or myspace (ha!) when I was also awaiting its release on pins and needles. It was only up for a couple of days at that point I think. I saw that one video, jumped back to your first one, and have been hooked ever since. I've loved you guys and this community since the beginning and feel that the world is a better place for all of you. So thank you so much for all that you do!

[@jensenokimoto]

The first vlogbrothers video i watched was when hank told 53 nerdy jokes. This was about less than 2 weeks ago. Since then i have read two of john's books (loved them, and want him to sign them) and have watched about have of all the vlogbrothers videos. Never knew I'd be a Nerdfighter, but so glad I am! :)

[@peaceandraven119]

My friend shared one of the "Reasons to Vote" videos with me years before I really knew anything about either of you except for John's books...then, last year, another friend told me to watch the entire thing starting from the beginning, and who was I to say no to that. Almost done now and it's a bit unbelievable at times how much things have changed.

[@zandelioncrochet]

My brother-in-law showed me several of Hank's joke vlogs a while back. I don't remember when. I'm here because I typed in Kiva to learn more about it and I joined the NerdFighters. So that's fun!

[@DancingIsFlying]

My first video was 31 jokes for nerds, and I saw it about 12 hours before this video came out. I remember this coming out on the day I first discovered the amazing nerdfighter community. It feels so long ago now. This community is simply amazing.

[@MarcAndreStGeorges]

First Vlogbrothers video I watched was the 2-D glasses one. Since I too got headaches from 3-D movies, I bought myself a pair and am 3-D movies-induced-headaches free since 2011 ! Thanks Vlogbrothers :D

[@KatherinesMusicBox]

I've been watching since...ever I guess. I can't remember not watching them. I believe I started watching them right towards the beginning around 5 or 6 (I'm going by grades here) years ago. Hank, you're making me feel old. I'd just like to say how grateful I am to have two intelligent, hilarious role-models to look up to with every video. Every new channel you guys create is incredible :)

[@onmyHONOUR]

I don't remember the first video I watched, but I remember being somewhat confused and that led to me watching every vlogbrothers video straight through from the first one ever. Close enough? Vlogbrothers came to me at a time where I needed community in my life again, and Nerdfighters gave me that. So thank you.

[@arelwenelf]

Hanklerfish.. About a month ago. But i found John's Great Gatsby crashcourse in January and I went through all of crashcourse (world history, biology, literature, ecology) and all of scishow before I found this channel. Now I'm obsessed. Thank you.

[@sarahbears04]

Hey Hank, love you guys! The first vlobrothers video I watched was Esther Day 2010. Ive been a loyal fan of both you and John ever since. I hope you guys never stop making such incredible stuff, thank you :)

[@SuperiorLlamas]

The first video I watched was "I Was a Child Poet. And a Bad One." and I watched that yesterday afternoon after two friends of mine told me how much I would love these videos. Since then I have watched 46 videos uploaded by these awesome guys.

[@lindsayhall8485]

My first vlogbrothers video was about Ebola. I thought the show was very informative and I loved it so I watched more. Now I have almost watched every video from 2007 to 2013. So I'm still working on watching them all. :) Thanks for your awesome work.

[@Scully362]

The first one I watched was Hanks vlog of him in LA a couple weeks ago. I saw him on sourcefed, daily grace and you deserve a drink so I said I check out his videos. Ye guys are amazing I haven't stopped watching vlogbrothers since :)

[@megalina12ify]

my first vlogbrorthers video was KZbin Survey: Balls and First Kisses on September 31st, 2011. my friend mentioned you guys in conversation, and i was bored so i checked it out but i was to awkward to mention it to my friend until around Christmastime, but after we became good friends she lead me to the group of nerdfighters we are best friends with now, and i couldn't imagine my life without them. so thanks guys.:)

[@wildmage23]

The first vlogbrothers video I saw was one of your joke videos, Hank. I'm not sure which one it was, but it was a few years ago. One of my friends showed it to me and I thought it was great, so I decided to try to watch all of your videos from the beginning. I watched about the first 2 years and then decided to watch from the current ones. You two are so entertaining and it's great to see how much good you do and how much exciting stuff has come from Brotherhood 2.0.

[@paynebrassine]

I recently found this channel and before I finished watching the video I was watching (whatever that was) hank mentioned that they've done it since 2007 so I paused it and went back to watch the first video and then the five or so videos following that. All of this being at 3 in the morning, so I found this channel in the best possible way, I think at least.

[@Kindredsgirl]

The first one for me was John's Health care video . . the "why is health care so expensive" I found it through facebook via Upworthy. I can't remember what made me click into youtube and found out about the nerdfighter community, but once I found you all, I was well and truly hooked. Thanks for what you do and thanks for being awesome

[@TaimBoutique]

My first vlogbrothers video? Well about two weeks ago I ran across a video by CGPGrey. It only took a couple days to finish all of his videos, one of which brought me to John's rant about pennies. Now I have (probably) watched over 200 vlogbrothers videos, bought four of John's books, and consider myself a nerd fighter. Thanks Hank and John and DFTBA!

[@bradkendall9551]

My first video was Accio Deathly Hallows! And now I'm playing catch up to some vids I've missed in the past and this reminded me of the Peeps and I nearly spit my drink out because I forgot about that. It's awesome. You guys have been a part of my life for as long as my oldest son. He was born June 27th that year, and he LOVED Accio Deathly Hallows! :)

[@GibbytheGerbil]

the latest one. yesterday. i just found you guys, but i'm learning to love you all! Even the community!

[@acgroceries]

I can't remember exactly which one it was, but I narrowed it down to January of 2009. I watched like 20 John videos, was like "Who the eff is Hank," then watched even more Hank videos. Thanks for four years of awesome. :)

[@ambrossialynn4041]

Mine was North Korea Explained.. just a few days ago lol and now my bf and I go through these randomly.. like we're doing now!!! it's been an awesome 3 days! I love it and thank you for doing these!

[@timetimestime]

I watched the question Tuesday video yesterday, after watching Hank on the "Try to Watch This Without Laughing" video. I'm new to the fandom, but I'm excited to be a part of it.

[@karishmakumar9962]

My first video was when John was cooking with Henry!! I still watch that video when I get a little down because it is just so telling of the way you guys are; simple and yet, still pretty funny! Since then, I have tried to watch your old material, and I must say, you guys really haven't changed, which you mentioned in this video. So I guess you guys have never forgotten to be awesome :)

[@jesshneil]

I started at the very end of Brotherhood 2.0...i remember a lot of very long nights where i would try to catch up but it took me like a month to watch all of them. Subscribed ever since :D

[@kated47]

There must have been one before it, but my first video was "17 rants in 4 minutes", and I was freaking hooked. This was literally like two or three weeks ago, but I fell in love. I work in customer support, and it was a Friday and I had had an awful awful day dealing with cantankerous customers, and it was like the perfect thing for that angsty Friday afternoon. I needed the laugh, so thank you!

[@valentinegilson7468]

My first vlogbrothers video is one I saw throw Upworthy when John was talking about the health care system.... then I saw hank in Syria... Im hooked.....

[@SMarshall92]

Wow... I have a lot of catching up to o, only just saw this. My first Vlogbrothers video was John's thoughts from places video DIRECTLY after P4A 2010, so I missed that plus french the llama plus a lot of Hank's songs by only a few videos! Glad to have been here for that long, and long live Nerdfighteria!

[@kaymkish]

The first one i watched was 50 jokes in 4 minutes. that was in january. i then realized that my all time favorite author was part of the channel, and i've been a faithful follower ever since.

[@StrangeJedi]

I started using Crash Course World History for the beginning of some my units in class, and I watched Hanks video on Translating dance songs. Now, as of today, I've watched the entire Brotherhood 2.0 and Vlogbrothers. I've also read Looking for Alaska, Paper towns, and TFIOS. I'm also very proud to say that I will be ordering a Pizza John Shirt soon, and I will wear it with a sportcoat

[@Grampahephaestus]

, I just enjoyed how much it related to my life. But this year I started reading for of Johns' books and I started watching this channel. the other day I suddenly had an urge to listen to This Isn't Hogwarts, so I went to the song, and lo and behold, it was you! On the vlogbrothers channel no less. I then realized I had been enjoying your interesting outlook for years and hadn't paid any mind to it. I was a Nerdfighter after all! Thank you for making youtube something educational, not just trash

[@arifike]

I don't remember the first vlogbrothers, but the first time I watched a Hank video was his ecogeek one about the lightbulbs and it was awesome! My Energy for the Future prof at St. Thomas showed it to us in class one day.

[@emilyprins9143]

I don't know what my first video was, but I remember buying TFiOS after borrowing it from a friend and loving it, and seeing the Vlogbrothers channel listed, so I looked it up because I liked KZbin ((run on sentence, I know)). It may have been John's video with Bill Gates. Then, late 2014, I decided to watch all the videos, and now here we are. Congratulations guys. Even though you have 2+ million now.

[@hehemeac]

I started watching recently, after my friend made me read Paper Towns. Obviously I loved it and started to do research on John Green. I discovered Brotherhood 2.0 and started watching from the very beginning. I have now watched every episode up to this point and I am just so excited that I am finally almost caught up. I want to start participating in Nerdfighter events!

[@dmase1501]

My first vlog brothers was "why does congress suck." since then I have watched about 1/3 of the channel and counting, well estimatiing. You guys have made a lot of excellent videos. Thank you

[@TwandeGraafTechArt]

I started with SciShow, just after the goatee (I have watched them all now), then I watched crash course history and now I have almost caught up with this channel, thanks for the great community of proud nerdfighters.

[@glisa3801]

I’ve seen a couple videos from time to time linked to from elsewhere on the internet, but the one that made the biggest impact on me, and caused me to watch all the vlogbrothers videos from the beginning, was the Crash Course on Romeo and Juliet which our class watched as an introduction to Romeo and Juliet. Yeah, one of the language arts teaches in my school is a nerdfighter! I'm so lucky. :)

[@SwatiDontamsetti]

The first one I watched was the one where you (Hank) talked about what you wanted The Lizzie Bennet Diaries to be [after I watched about 90 TLD videos straight in one day (when I should have studied for midterms)] and then I went through the "20 essential vlogbrothers videos" and became so hooked that I went to the very beginning, and I am still in the process of catching up. That was sometime in March.

[@jennascott5773]

Pennies - I found it off of CGP Grey's video on the similar topic. And I never looked back. This was probably just over a year ago. You guys make me want to be awesome - and so I am going to start a blog from the UK with my friend from Hong Kong. Who knows where that will take us, but I am excited for the ride!

[@fajero]

My first was the Anglerfish video, wich I stumbled upon, like u stumble upon things. I remember thinking it was extremely wierd, and I knew I had to try and find out more about the mind behind it. Not sure when this was, but I think it was in 2010. I did not however, become an avid watcher until Crash Course started in 2012. About the same time I also, like many others, did a vlogbrothers marathon watching every video over a few days. Those where good days. Tnx Hank and John and all the viewers.

[@hunterkirin7284]

Being a new Nerdifghter (hadn't heard the term before about ... three days ago), the first vlogbrothers video i watched the How to be a Nerdfighter FAQ, followed by about 200 more vlogbrothers videos in the past two days, mainly while working on homework to finish this computer science degree that won't end. DFTBA!

[@emilykb3]

I don't remember exactly which video it was, but in Sept 2010, a friend of mine linked to something on Facebook. At the time, I was studying abroad in Germany, thousands of miles away from anyone I knew, and watching Vlogbrothers videos made me feel connected again.

[@TheInsanlysane]

I started with John's rant about Facebook and your rant about ads on TV. Our teacher got us to watch them. Everyone in the class kinda laughed and thought they were stupid, but I went home and watched about 20 videos that night :) That was a year ago, and now I am all caught up!

[@oldOlorin]

Hank, the first video I saw was about how not to name your child when my wife and I were expecting our first child (there are 2 now). Since then, I've been hooked. Keep up the good work - I wish there were more shows on YT like yours...

[@k00lf00l1]

My first video was Shakespearean Insults and I was in Honors English. My teacher showed it to us because we were reading "A Midsummer Nights Day," and I've been hooked ever since!

[@kibrika]

The Quark song before I knew of Vlogbrothers. But the first one after being told that I have to check out Vlogbrothers was 53 jokes in 4 mins, where there was "what's black and white and black and white and black and white..." Recently, a couple of months ago, not more. Since then I've come to love vlogbrothers, I've watched crash course World history, sci show, realised it was Hank who sang the quark song, Lizzy Bennet diaries. Thank you all so much for all the excellence!

[@willparker3219]

In my Senior year of High School, maybe a few years ago now, I took half a semester of Psychology and dropped out before he made me take a practice AP test for a class I wasn't AP testing out of. We had a project and a friend of mine used your 'Phineas Gage' video in their presentation, and told me all about you and Nerdfighteria and DFTBA.

[@nazlyn]

The first VB video I've ever watched is 'How to Name YOur Baby Properly' on April 17th, 2013 and I've been addicted ever since! I don't even remember what led me to that video. Great work, guys.

[@AlexKuch91]

The first vlogbrothers video I ever watched was 15 Hours in Target! I watched after reading TFiOS (which made its way to my top 5 books EVER!) and hearing about vlogbrothers from a nerdfighter friend. That first video inspired me to watch all the videos from start to present.... and now I am on this one. In the process of spending all those hours watching vlogbrothers videos, I now consider myself a nerdfighter! DFTBA!

[@hippotomusuaesquippa]

The first video I watched was this year, and it was hanks on sex vs gender vs sexuality. I watched it during a health class and was intrigued because nobody else had ever explained it to me that way. So now I'm catching up on all the videos!!!

[@angeladawson6558]

Kylie That was by no means my first video, but it's easily one of my favourites. It's by far the best summary of the complexity of that topic I have ever seen

[@Alan7moore]

this was actually one of the first few vlogbrothers videos i saw. Rewatching it now because it almost seems like i'm running low on vlogbrothers videos left to watch. And also because nerdfighteria is awesome.

[@mtriplett5568]

My first one was the one where Hank rants about biases and called John stupid. And as I do whenever I find an interesting video, I checked out the channel and fell in love with these two brothers.

[@mx.raleigh]

one of my friends randomly linked me to a vlog brothers video in 2010 -- although it was an old video by the time i watched it. and as i watched john read "the best new years resolution happy new years streamers," i knew i would never leave. it's still my fave to be honest.

[@staticrodent]

The first vlogbrothers video I remember seeing was John's, "cooking with a 3 year old," that a friend linked me and others to. I watched it several months or so ago, but it was randomly clicking a vlogbrothers video beneath sci-show which I was binge watching that lead me to digest this channel more fully.

[@musicalturtle1]

The 1st one I watched was the vlogbrothers FAQ one about a year ago. My friend showed it to me and i am so glad she did!!!

[@Combustionsquirrel]

My first vlogbrothers video was ~3 years ago in my 8th grade social studies class, and it was John's video about how he hated pennies. I liked the video so much I went home and searched for the channel and have been watching these amazing videos ever sense. I have also gone back and watched all the videos that you guys made before I started watching. I've always liked how your videos never get boring or old, they are always new and amazing, and i'm always looking forward to the next one in my subscriptions box. Thank you for that. P.S. 16,001th comment :D

[@tstokes9574]

I started watching Vlogbrothers after hearing Hank and John on an episode of Pottercast. I love it when things I love lead me to other things I love. DFTBA.

[@briellehohne4121]

My first video was the harry potter song when it came out and was featured on youtube. But I didn't realize the awesomeness of vlogbrothers until my friend made me watch them like a year ago. And now I'm trying to watch them all. Because deep down inside I've always been a nerdfighter. :)

[@oaueo]

First one I ever saw was John's rant about the minting of pennies - must have been right around when it came out, because I was still in undergrad, and my roommate at the time introduced me to it. He was already a longtime viewer

[@imagine212]

I've been watching from the beginning, although pretty sporadically now. The videos in 2007 were when I was in high school and my friends got me hooked on them (we sent in a picture of us at our prom in 2008 with things on our heads). Good times :)

[@flyifyouwanttofly]

The first vlogbrothers video I ever saw was Beanie John's Love Advice in mid 2009. My brother sent it to me and was all like "Watch this, it's wonderful!" and I was all like "This is grown man in a beanie making videos in his basement!" ...and then John made fun of himself for the very thing I was making fun of him for. And then I watched all the videos. Every video was engaging and lovely and made me feel like a part of something wonderful. Nerdfighter for life! DFTBA, my friends.

I think it was one of John's question videos in 2012. It was after I read TFIOS and thought, "doesn't that guy have a youtube channel?" and 3 years later I'm still a huge nerdfighter.

about a month ago, I started watching The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, which lead me to the Project for Awesome rading of "the fault in our starts" which also led me to a quote by Hank Green in on the website The Other 95% and for about a month the Hank Green kept popping up in conversations, so I watch some videos, and read some books and have watched about ten a day since, so I have NO idea which one was the first one

I was intoduced to this channel first with "A Song About An Anglerfish". I think it was 2010. I know I got on the bus a little late, but I like to think that this community and the ideas that we can share together is a huge part of who I am. Thanks Hank and John for deciding to be on KZbin. DFTBA

I saw a vlogbrothers' video giffed on tumblr several times during my tumbling career. And they were awesome gifs, but I never got where they came from. Until finally, one lovely person decided to link the channel under their gif, and I found this channel about a month ago. I'm pretty sure the first one I saw was "Raw Onion, Twerking, and Speech Jam". And now I've been steadily marathoning through the channel. You guys rock. Have an awesome day/evening/[insert time frame]! :D

Back in 2007 I searched "Zombie" in youtube videos and I found the one where you and John where talking about zombies vs. ninjas vs. unicorns. I believe it was during one of the polls that Hank was doing and I got hooked!!! I started watching all the vids and that was August 2007.

"How to make guys like you" in September of 2012. My friend had been recommending this channel to me and I thought I'd pick one that might have some good advice for me. Turns out it was some of the best advice ever!

The first ever vlogbrothers episode I saw was the "I don't have a favorite pony" song episode, thanks older sister, and I've been hooked since!!

My 1st vlogbrothers video was Hank talking about advertisement. Admittedly it was earlier this year but I have been hooked ever since.
