"Today was a good day, my brother got sick"

[@Twohomst]

+

[@Fs3i]

He was always such a good writer. Talent!

[@cel2460]

Hey fun fact if you dont know it but this is the same diary entry john mentioned when hank married and he had to make a toast.

[@boogieinyourcloset17]

"Today was a good day. My brother got sick." I can feel the love.

[@seanm7445]

My word. I’ve been following vlogbrothers for a few months (and SciShow for years), and I’ve only *just* realised that you’re John Green. As in *the author* John Green! For a few videos I was thinking: ‘hmm, he’s really promoting that book. I wonder does he have some vested interest...’!

[@CorkScrewFacedCapital]

Same

[@snake_aaahhpi4099]

Wyvern :3 same here!!

[@katami1358]

Me too!!!!

[@tuber3181]

Something similar happened to me where I thought of john's identity simply as "Hank's equally quirky brother". Then I watched a video of John unboxing a copy of The Fault in Our Stars, and being almost offensively excited to have it in hand. "Well maybe he's just an unexpected teen fiction loving, foaming-at-the mouth John green fan....oh....OH!!!!!". I got a pretty good laugh out of it and am delighted to hear mine was not the only occurance. DFTBA

[@amyx231]

woozle M isnt it awesome how successful they both are? john’s a famous author and Hank is ceo of like everything. Lol

[@emmawallenbrock1634]

"Certainly not to first base" I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING

[@cademadson1035]

Mom: "Put pants on!" Me; "No, John Green said I didn't have to when preordering his book!"

[@Narbaculus]

I just realized that John said "interrobang" as if it were followed by an interrobang.

[@lawrencecalablaster568]

I still don't like how John doesn't like unicorns. They were only indirectly involved in Voldemort's return! Don't blame them!

[@sheaelliott942]

And it's not their fault that they exist and Voldemort killed them! They were the victims, everyone should hate Voldemort for killing the unicorns in the first place!

[@lawrencecalablaster568]

Shea Elliott Indeed! Blaming unicorns for Voldemort's crimes is almost as bad as blaming rape victims for the actions of their attackers!

[@sheaelliott942]

+Lawrence Calablaster Ugh! With my luck this happens. Right as I was finishing a reply to you, I got signed out of my account and lost what I was writing!! But anyway, here's what I was saying. So the funny thing about your last comment was that I wrote something extremely similar on a video of John's when he first said that he hated unicorns. What I find extremely unfortunate is that Voldy here knew that unicorns' blood contains healing powers. He was just such an arrogant, power-hungry thing (at this point he's really not human, and I'd contest his humanity throughout the rest of the series) that in order to "live" he forced his host to kill a harmless unicorn and drink its blood. Really, that is the disgusting thing, not the fact that unicorns exist, as John believes.

[@meganpfundstein4348]

Just casually watching old question Tuesday videos when you realize YOUR SISTER IS THE PERSON WHO ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT BEING SORTED INTO HUFFLEPUFF!!!!!! I can't believe she never told me about this!?!?!?!?

[@gabrielle5084]

I love how the sound of the sharpies falling on the ground, told me more about how many there were rather then 1 second they were in frame. DFTBA

[@timswingler4219]

Zeno's paradox originates because he is ignoring time. at constant velocity for simplification.(works for non constant velocity as well.) walking halfway to the door takes half the time. walking halfway to the halfway point takes half as much time as walking half way. both the distance travelled and time taken are an infinite Taylor series with a finite sum. (it's like an infinite number of students enter a bar, the first one orders a beer and every student after orders half as much as the student before. The bar tender pours two bears and says divvy it up yourselves and moves on to the next customer set.

[@TacticusPrime]

They didn't know that 0.999999999999999999 equals 1 or any other infinite sums.

[@tyroneonphone]

[@annabethgrace5432]

YAY FOR RAVENPUFFS!! John, we are a part of the same combo-house, and this makes me so happy. :D - L. M. Eby

[@someonesomewhere9746]

***** ok how can someone be ravenpuff? There are only 4 houses.

[@annabethgrace5432]

By saying "Ravenpuff" I meant qualifying heavily for both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Pottermore put me in Ravenclaw, but I identify a lot with Hufflepuff's values as well.

[@someonesomewhere9746]

***** ok i get that. But you can only choose Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff because rowling didn't have ravenpuff.

[@annabethgrace5432]

mean teen You're killing me here.

[@someonesomewhere9746]

***** ok

[@SPARTAN26MiLLiX]

As of a half-hour ago I've been binge watching vlog brothers and this episode is my 5 one..... I don't plan on stopping

[@minimooster7258]

Be proud of your Hufflepuffness, we welcome you.

[@AriJeru]

I love the way he talks about girls and their smarts and autonomy--what a fantastic male role model for kids. A lot of ladies just want to hang out and learn stuff and be "face licking partners" with guys/other ladies/nonbinary humans who want the same thing.

[@66msn99]

"today was a good day. My brother got sick." OMG i can't get over this hahaha John you were a an evil sibling

[@TheNicomaReviews]

Catcher in the Rye reference. I got you John Green, I got you

[@magicfarts22]

which references?

[@TheNicomaReviews]

"my people hunting hat"

[@QUARTERMASTEREMI6]

+Glenn Seaborg Thank you! I'm not the only one...

[@ashtuatara]

Thank you for your congratulations on Hufflepuff House. The best one there is.

[@julias4660]

you're so entertaining like I have seriously seen this video over ten times and I am fully entertained the entire time every time

[@rutgerholtzer3961]

Xeno paradox has an easy solution. Assuming that you move at constant speed. then every time you've passed a halfway point, the required time to reach the next halfway point halves. These infinitives cancel each other out. Yes you'll have to pass an infinite number of halfways, but reaching those halfways will require an infinitely small amount of time. These infinitives cancel out, which is the solution of the paradox. And paradoxes with solutions aren't paradoxes, they're apparent paradoxes at best.

[@Staals2]

Isn't the definition of a paradox that it's an apparent (but not real) contradiction?

[@rutgerholtzer3961]

I'm better versed in math then in English. So honestly you could be right about that. But with a solution as clear as that, I wouldn't call it a paradox.

[@loz8861]

It's really annoying that people complain about Hufflepuffs being weak and use less JK Rowling is one and that's just backfiring

[@axelle.bigare]

Hufflepuffs rule!

[@user-rh5ii2go6y]

GO HUFFLEPUFFS

[@tanyazenobio8653]

YA HUFFLEPUFF PRIDE FTW!!!

[@bkaddictjk]

Actually, I think that I've read somewhere that she was only sorted into Hufflepuff once on an unofficial internet quiz. She's actually a Gryffindor on Pottermore...

[@seemerson]

Duh- duh- duh- duh HONEY BADGER! Vlogbrothers and Harry Potter and Hufflepuff pride... My favorite things

[@mattjabbar]

Hufflepuff for the win!!

[@bayleyreeder4818]

The Fault In Our Stars is an amazing book!! Cried my eyes out, and laughed reading it, thank you so much for being a genius! :D

[@greyheists]

Perhaps one of my favorite Vlogbrothers videos

[@Roll587]

Some of my favorite moments in Vlogbrother's videos are when John starts laughing at himself, such as at 0:48.

[@isabelmatteo7095]

Why is no one talking about how much work it must have taken him to put that peanut butter on his face and that he actually did it?!

[@coreyoz]

"Warm Malt Liquor, a novel".... hahahahhaaha

[@breezycannon]

That's MY favorite paradox too!!! I was so happy when you said that!

[@oliviaroth8517]

"Today was a good day. My brother got sick." Omg, I'm dying XD

[@laurenkay4892]

I wish I had been watching your videos four years ago so I would have known if I pre-ordered your book I could have a signed copy...

[@Bea_Esser]

2:51 John describes bagpipes as an animal. This brings me joy.

[@meganisawesome7686]

“My people hunting hat” 😂 classic The Catcher in the Rye reference

[@Jenny-fk3ke]

RAVENPUFFS UNITE

[@Jenny-fk3ke]

Then you are a huffleclaw :)

[@Stickkid5]

Ooooooo love this, i feel myself as a raven puff too but i feel as though i could be in any house.

[@isabellamoraschi1705]

thats my favorite paradox, we were discussing it in history of math and I was way more excited then anyone else and I'm super proud.

[@MustBePie]

I like the fact the somewhere in those boxes sits a piece of paper that is now bound inside a book that sits on the bookshelf in my room.

[@SirSkidMark]

This makes me sad. I preordered my tfios book back when it was up for preorder, it took forever for Barnes and Noble to send me my copy...and it wasn't signed :(

[@theoptimistvibe3678]

what if im wearing a BANANA SUIT when i order it???

[@QUARTERMASTEREMI6]

John, this is why we love you-quirkiness and all.

[@Hellacious-Blue-Liquid]

This must be the most hyped vlogbrothers video

[@aronpuma5962]

@Mia: Did someone say Interrobangs‽

[@onismbeloved]

Hey hey john ELMO HAS 2 DUCKS QUACK QUACK 2 BIRDS OF A FEATHER

[@rebecca4460]

Man now that is stuck in my head

[@onismbeloved]

You're welcome

[@kyanaalexiss5737]

no clue what this is, but I sung it

[@nicolerhiannon]

HE'S SO ENERGETIC. I LOVE IT.

[@laylaadams6544]

you never fail to make me smile john :')

[@christi5448]

Haha! :Thiiiiisssss much" and hating unicorns. I consider myself a relatively new nerdfighter and uncovering gems like these is awesome! #RavenclawPride

[@amyx231]

Wait a sec... I just saw a first edition of TFioS that was unsigned in a secondhand bookstore.... does that mean it’s rare?

[@xreallysupercoolx]

John & Hank, y'all are awesome : )

[@agirlwithbooks1294]

Well this was four years ago. I was ten. I didn't know what a Nerdfighter was. Time is a beautiful thing, John. Hope I will watch this video in another few years and reflect some more.

[@Tarragonable]

I wanna hear John say "I am the manga"

[@davidvandrunen3516]

People-huntin'-hat? A fan of the most dangerous game, perhaps?

[@bilbobagginsofbagend]

one of the best videos. dftba

[@moomoopiggymoosh7231]

The Fault in Our Stars is actually my school's summer read! I'm excited :)

[@lauraw9382]

YEAH HUFFLEPUFFS!!!!!!

[@Magiclolpop223]

An-uh-may Man-guh

[@blooms454]

WOMAN. It.was.a.JOKE.

[@Magiclolpop223]

I think he wouldn't have said it like that if it was a joke.

[@blooms454]

Mikayla Williams Bro look at the context. The person who adked him the question said that they were glad that John could pronounce it properly. He was doing it to mess around because that is the point of his jokes

[@timswingler4219]

if you watch his crash course history things "mispronouncing things is kind of my thing"

[@Ashtarte3D]

***** Actually you're both correct, and both wrong! Yay! The way you denoted would be if you are actually speaking Japanese. Mikayla's is if you're speaking English, which John is. Phoentics, sucka!

[@ChristineNighting]

Elmo has two ducks. Quack, quack. Two birds of a feather.

[@laestherminator]

You had me at Good Morning, Hank.

[@KingCadmos]

Hufflepuff plus Ravenclaw equals ravenpuff

[@annelottesante2938]

In dutch "looking for Alaska" is called "Het grote misschien" Which means "the great perhaps"

[@ALoverNotAFighter37]

I'm glad you asked because i've been wondering the same thing too.

[@Garrettmcarpenter]

Manga, anime, and vlogbrothers. Three of my favorite things, hints my profile picture. Upside down!

[@dierderikd3986]

Ravenpuff, seriously?

[@sarahmccullough7056]

What is wrong with being a Ravenpuff?

[@JeweledOwl812]

What if I preorder it from Hogwarts?

[@someonesomewhere9746]

Katherine Oung It will be signed once proof is received.

[@101SuperJules]

I've been depressed for a few weeks now and peanut butter face just made me LOL. Awesome :)

[@agirlwithbooks1294]

Can I also say that I love that yo referred to infinities in this video? And the general public didn't know how this little reference would become so important? I have a tank top that says the infinities quote. I'm quite fond of it.

[@ambergong7201]

Anime and manga... Hahahaha

[@42jemini]

Prounouncing Manga correctly? In what language? Manga is a Japanese word, and Japanese only has one sound for "a," and that is the long a sound, not the short a which you are using. You pronounced Anime correctly, which not many people do, but the correct pronounciation of Manga is the one that the majority of the J-culture fans use which is also the most comon pronounciation of the word in the US. Most people pronounce Manga correctly, you do not. (Please, someone tell me that John Green just trolled me.)

[@carrotzone6298]

He actually did. He has pronounced it correctly in older videos.

[@zyaicob]

He did.

[@erotiszm]

This was the first video that arrived in my subscription box after I subscribed and became an official Nerdfighter. (I say official because I was watching you months before. :') )

[@erinnVM]

No matter how many times I watch this, the cakon response causes me to collapse into a fit of laughter.

[@justabookholic]

Yay to people hunting hats 😜

[@mutedajar9687]

If it were pronounced "meingei" then, for one, it would be meingei in romaji. And it would be めいんげい in hiragana, I think, instead of まんが

[@mutedajar9687]

although I guess it was a joke.

[@adityakhanna113]

es-Tu japonais?

[@softserve2734]

2:44-2:48 are seconds that have haunted me for TWO YEARS. Something about “elmo has two ducks! Quack quack two birds of a WAAAAAH grover” just stuck in my head. And won’t go. I no longer feel any remorse for you waking up with that in your head. You have caused me a far greater suffering, John Green.

[@agradman]

Sarah came up with imagining the future as a kind of nostalgia in looking for alaska? That was like one of my favorite ideas in the book. 3:10

[@PixelOverload]

What. "main-gay" is not the proper way to pronounce manga, it's "mahngah", if it were pronounced "main-gay" it would be romanized as "meingei".

[@benjuul2517]

Joke (Noun) 1. A thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline. "she was in a mood to tell jokes" synonyms: funny story, jest, witticism, quip;

[@radioactivated]

woosh

[@johannabonana5306]

He was joking, baka

[@Kasumi8779]

You can barely pronounce Anime and Manga though LOL

[@HeartPainsCandyVeins]

no he pronounces it right that's different.

[@Kasumi8779]

I can barely understand what you typed, can you use better grammar, for my sake?

[@isinBohemianRhapsody]

its jokes. a joke. joke

[@Kasumi8779]

isinBohemianRhapsody I've seen better Jokes from the Vlog Brothers

[@isinBohemianRhapsody]

Well yeah. But that doesnt mean that this too was not a joke

[@alyssabernhardt2309]

Thank you!!!! I love the Interrobang!!!!!!!

[@musicchick2]

It's amazing to see how far life has come in almost three years. This man has such joy and life in his eyes and has no idea what's coming. #sixprintingsandamovie

[@nettice1989]

I love how when you go back to just before TFiOS what released there are all kinds of references like the infinity thing in this one... !

[@NU-ph1zx]

"The Fault In Our Stars," is on our "summer reading" list for school!

[@MiniStarNinjaKid]

dude! thank you so so so much!!!!! i got sorted as a hufflepuff, and i was so happy i found a house that actually made sense for me. and when my friends laugh at me i just give them a big freaking hug for it. also, i love to badger everywhere on pottermore so that is a HUGE plus. -Honey Badgers out!

[@akoalabear239]

I was just sitting around relaxing and I randomly remembered John singing “Elmo has two ducks” I laughed very hard and had to find this video.

[@PurplePlatypusPoop]

the Xenos paradox is my favorite paradox too! and that diary entry was mentioned in john's toast and hank's wedding :')

[@Akumu74]

He's a smart kind person. Who is also a particularly good finder.

[@tensejim]

I have talked about Zeno's paradox for years, figured it out on my own, I feel accomplished now that I know scholars think like me lol. Thanks for finally giving it a name for me to use!!

[@soph1741]

I love these videos :D

[@rowanarmit3697]

that paradox is my fave too

[@TheAwesomeOne1ooo]

The abject joy in your voice when you said "CAKON" made my day xDD

[@nope.13]

John's favorite paradox is my favorite paradox!!! Yaaaay!!

[@Nenedoru]

After reading TFioS and going back in time through your videos, I understand why Zeno's paradox was so important to you. Lol

[@nymphography]

2:22 - i love that he puts on his peanut butter face to answer a question from Reese's peanut butter cups.

[@scribbledjoy]

Today, my daughter was watching a Sesame Street episode, and one of the songs sounded vaguely familiar... I now understand, John. I didn't understand NINE YEARS AGO when I was a sophomore in college, but I do now. Elmo, indeed, has two ducks (also four, three, one, and zero ducks).

[@jjjm7322]

Woah, this is before Tfios!

[@walcnevar44]

I just cried from laughing so hard at "CAKON!" Best line delivery ever, John!

[@theEmeles]

The moment when 2:05 happens and tfios is quoted and now I'm a puddle again. Thank you, John.

[@Narwhal1213]

This is probably the best thing I have seen...ever...

[@raedefrane5505]

The S+++ eating grin when talking about his diary!

[@georginathegiraffe]

Rewatching my first vlogbrothers video!

[@ScreamingAtVespas]

You sounded like an excited five year old when you said cakeon. I laughed for about 90 seconds. It's was great. Thank you for that.

[@Mad.E]

Oh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIDEO !!!
