Yeti in High School: The Miracle of Swindon Town #15

In which John plays Swindon Town against Wallsall, and tells the story of first meeting the Yeti in high school.

[@T1J]

I wish I grew up a friend of John's because according to these stories every single one of his friends grew up to be amazingly successful.

[@katiehusband1505]

I know this video is like 2 years old but I think the more interesting story is why did he have a squirrel

[@PoisonTheOgres]

For everyone (still!) asking: Sarah was called the yeti because she never came on camera, thus she was a mystery, a creature whose existence had never been proven ;) hence the yeti

[@hawktheater93]

".....And now I get to date her for the rest of my life...." Cutest thing Ever!!!!!!

[@angusargabrite2776]

i thought John was gonna say when kids would play House, Sara(h?) would write up a mortgage agreement

[@RebelsAreWe]

I love John's continued attempts (fail as they may be) at Hank's outro. Oh, John.

[@layobas96]

"you go to college in a cornfield, why is that impressive?" Oh, Yeti

[@arushiseth3979]

Iovanna Veláquez she went to an ivy league college so...

[@akshatdubey7904]

@@arushiseth3979 but that was for graduate school

[@yoda7104]

... Everyone knows Pulp Fiction Right? Like I'm not the only one born after Pulp Fiction coming out who knows Pulp Fiction Right?

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

Also every one knows Richie Rich

[@ringrrl]

"You go to college in a corn field. Why is that impressive?" may be one of the awesomest things you have ever said

[@taylorswiftcovers]

The debut of Voluptuous Pericard!

[@candygirl2509]

We teach Fault in our Stars at my high school

[@ISwishAndFlick]

"What did I get that yellow card for? Dissent?...For being handsome?" lol I really love listening to John play the Swindon Town Swoodly Poopers!

[@jesseengland456]

this gives me peace about my love life.

[@Avianxox]

I had the Bald John Green song stuck in my head all day, I kept singing it in school! I got some funny looks.

[@emullinsstreams]

I've heard of both of those movies...and I was born in 1993. lol

[@gemmaohlemacher]

The more I listen to these, the more High School Me and High School John seem to have in common.

[@colesandick446]

Okay I love this so, so much. Trippy the pet squirrel? This whole story feels like the most Alabama thing ever :)

[@RefugeeJon]

I came to the comments for the inevitable Pulp Fiction rage.

[@Lindsayface47]

Before giving us back our first essay in junior year AP Language, our teacher stood in front of the class and said that he expected much more from us, and that if we're going to continue writing like that, then the class would be much smaller. Being as afraid of failure as I am, I couldn't look at my grade when he handed them back. I got a 93%, and my teacher called me eloquent. I almost cried from happiness. My teachers all know me because I never come to school. Yay chronic illnesses!

[@abitofbravery]

I painted my nails while listening and I've laughed so much that the lines on my nails are squiggles.

[@TheManBehindBlueEyes]

I watched pulp fiction when I was 12... I'm 19 now. It's one of my favorite movies.

[@RustyXXKnife1]

It seems as if everyone who ever had contact with John in his early life, turned out to be very successful. You never hear him say "My friend Jim, who is currently at a job where he isn't making an obscene amount of money..."

[@KristinaLintz]

Its so cute how much John loves Sarah. Always has, always will.

[@lettershome9361]

can you imagine seeing the thumbnail and title of this video if you were completely unfamiliar with the vlogbrothers? That would be pretty strange...

[@price22232]

Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies of all time!

[@12Rman21]

Am I to old for this audiance, haven't seen pulp fiction. pleaaseee, one of the best movies ever

[@beastasaurusrexxx]

Richie Rich was one of my favorite movies as a kid.

[@cding12]

JOHN GREEN. I love Richie Rich! That was a movie of my childhood. Also: Home Alone 2. Macauley culkin was a hilarious child actor.

[@BromleyGaffer]

*Allegedly fields a scrub team.* "Fat Lucas!" You lied to us John.

[@SwanPoC]

I was born in 1991 and Pulp Fiction is one of my favourite movie.

[@seanbads]

"I had a song about Fat Lucas, but I cant remember the words, but it was all about how great he was, rest assured." is actually a great chant lol

[@rinrandomstuff]

Some of us are old enough to have seen both those movies, John. :D

[@katelynekowalsky]

you have the cutest story about meeting the yeti of all time.

[@wwjdrirolian]

I've seen both Pulp Fiction and Richie Rich. Richie Rich came on tv a lot when I was younger... :) I actually just saw Pulp Fiction a few weeks ago (my first week of college! yay!)

[@classynorm]

I'm 15 and Iv'e heard of Pulp Fiction! easily in my top 10 movies of all time

[@TheRealRyanWhite]

I've never been excited for a soccer game before, tomorrow should be epic!

[@heather23renae]

Hey now. I know Richie Rich and Pulp Fiction from the time I spent in the 90's. Pulp Fiction is a legend. Richie Rich is exactly what it was meant to be. hilarious.

[@YourGonnaLoveMyNuts]

I'm 18 years old, loved richie rich as a kid and love Pulp Fiction in general. Take that!

[@MasterKyleson]

...I've heard of those movies... I was BORN in the 90s, so I should be too young, but I've still heard of them. I've even seen Pulp Fiction

[@grandermaybes]

I grew up watching Richie Rich and it's one of my favorite movies. I feel judged on so many levels. ;)

[@erikesemo]

Voldemort Pericard "He's evil, he's small, he's good with the ball. Pericard, pericard."

[@ammiella]

I've heard of both and I did watch some of Pulp Fiction but haven't watched it properly. However I ADORED Richie Rich :P I was totally in love with Macaulay Culkin when I was little. Don't you judge me John Green he was a smart ass little kid and I loved it.

[@mysticmeana]

Richie Rich was my favorite movie growing up!

[@heatherxbelle]

"and now i get to date her for the rest of my life" how cuteee!!

[@TheReadingRobin]

Who hasn't heard of Pulp Fiction? That's like, one of the most well known movies ever.

[@todayisokay4075]

I was born in 1989 and I do remember watching Richie Rich in the theater. Pulp fiction never the less is one of those movies I had to watch later on in life. That being said I do consider the second to be a much better film xD

[@princeword]

Pulp fiction was from the fantastic movie-years of 1993-94. I was 14-15 at the time which obviously helped in creating impressions but even to this day I feel like that. Woop

[@PianoMan347]

I'VE HEARD OF AND SEEN AND LOVE PULP FICTION THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@brumagemm]

For the climax of this fast-paced rise of a lowly team, let's hear about Henry.

[@CJonestheSteam72]

Townsend Kyser III President of the American Catfish Farmers association. What an alumni that school has

[@kwwwwww531]

D'aww, John, who hasn't heard of Pulp Fiction?! I love that movie

[@rapturessilliestgirl]

When I was six, I saw Richie Rich and was impressed by the fact that they could roller-skate in the house. Now, I'm sixteen, Pulp Fiction is one of my favourite movies and I'm impressed by how much a foot massage could mean.

[@StacieLeighMusic]

I loved both of those movies

[@mrzinski]

"What did I get that yellow card for, dissent, For being handsome?"

[@musicluv922]

"So beautiful and fat... I LOVE HIM" Words from the wise, John Green.

[@undergroundalcoholsi]

Richie Rick and Pulp Fiction. I remember when they came into cinemas. Yay for old Nerdfighters

[@hobbitnotes]

Not fair John, some of us watching are old enough to remember the 90s. I know both of those movies! :D

[@swanhaven92]

John you actually make watching football FUN!!!

[@RoboticYeti]

AMAZING movies. You have no reason to be ashamed :P

[@farfromkallefornia]

"if there's some girl at a party and you're like ughh that girl's never going to like me, just obsess over her for the next twenty years and then maybe someday it'll happen." that, my friend, is advise from gatsby.

[@cmwqt]

"Whole mess of cousins" Such an Alabama saying (I'm from Alabama so I can attest to the fact that people actually say this more than should probably be necessary)

[@Petajoe]

FYI, Mr. Green. I was born in 1993 and Pulp Fiction is my second favorite movie of all time.

[@mockingibrd2013]

I HAVE SEEN BOTH AND I LOVE RICHIE RICH. Best movie ever.

[@ThisIsRubyOK]

I was born in the 90's and I know both of those movies!

[@ChickenVendetta]

Listening to John talk about relationships makes me sad that I've never had a meaningful one.

[@harjashow]

hey, i may be 17 but i've seen richie rich about 28 times.

[@nothing-2-live-4]

it’s funny to see someone declare their age with the time stamp “9 years ago” next to it

[@Sportgrl55]

I'm listening to John Green while writing a literary analysis paper. 11:35 - what I'm thinking exactly. Nice to know high-school-John-Green and I think the same way.

[@strwrsgirl13]

Hey! HEY! Who hasn't heard of Pulp Fiction? That is a CLASSIC movie.

[@Airstrip19]

"That is an inappropriate place to point!"

[@sgtank123]

I guess I'm not the only one who's super obsessed with their high school teachers. :)

[@BillyxRansom]

WAIT WAIT! did he ever remember the words to the song he came up with for fat lucas????????????????????????? WILL WE NEVER GET TO HEAR IT BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN LOST IN THE ETHER FOR ALL OF AN UNFORESEEABLE AMOUNT OF TIME???????????????? *has a mental breakdown*

[@bethpegler3197]

shh John, i love pulp fiction ;)

[@lycanwolf26]

I wish I had a childhood like this. A PET SQUIRREL? AMAZING!!!

[@LeahExplainsThings]

"films from the 90s that you have never heard of" You know, John, some of us are older than 13 :)

[@chloec.3650]

I swear to God you and the Yeti are like the cutest couple ever and ahhhh "And now I get to date her for the rest of my life." *falls on floor and makes some pretty fantastically awkward seal noises* SO CUTE -3

[@MrDramaking321]

I'm 14 and Pulp Fiction is in my top 3 movies of all time!

[@pineapplepizza27]

Listening to john talk about the Yeti in High School is like learning about Lief Erickson.

[@DFTBACleaves]

"That in and of itself was not GOAL!"

[@Smsbulgaria]

That is actually amazing, Fat Louie was a great cat. Apart the sock eating.

[@onfire4771]

"just obsess over her for the next 20 years. no don't do that that's horrible advice." i loled loud and hard.

[@Cherlz29]

I always get this funny feeling when I see a video's upload date being on my birthday

[@BreeLa19]

Uh John...Pulp Fiction happens to be one of my favorite movies.

[@twilighter3000]

Trippy the pet squirrel? John Green is made of awesome.

[@purplelova2]

HEY! I'm 16 and I've absolutely heard of and watched Pulp Fiction multiple times!!

[@Hughmanx]

Never heard of them, I own them both and they're both awesome!

[@staytuned2L337]

I did not think that john green would be a smoker in any part of his life >_>. what a surprise!

[@sparkybish]

"Why are you pointing at the penalty spot? That is an inappropriate place to point!" Now part of my vernacular. That just happened.

[@beangirl1389]

This video made me laugh so much! I love Richie Rich. I say "gah lee" all the time. I love swindontown.

[@hathejoker]

John you really really like the city of Chicago. For your next video please talk about your favorite moment(s) in the Windy City.

[@TheZezeiron]

"This isn't funny at all.." OK, it cant really be that bad, or at least he'll explain it.. "Trippy died." AHAHAHAHAHA

[@vanessa17ashley]

I was born in 96 and I've seen Pulp Fiction because my parents love it :)

[@cloverhighfive]

John, some of us are... older than you. Do you know when I saw Pulp Fiction? When I was in university, someone rented the TAPE and we watched it in the tv room. Remember, John, how movies came on tapes and we rented them? Ah... :)

[@HighKingTurgon]

John, I watched Richie Rich as a child. I watched Pulp Fiction a few years later as an adult.

[@hannahbamajubilee]

Not only have I heard of both Richie Rich AND Pulp Fiction, I've seen them and loved them both. C'mon, John. We're not all teenagers ;D

[@bragsatsuma1626]

Velociraptor Pericard strikes fear into the hearts of men and puppies alike with goal after goal.

[@TheMoviesandgames]

Pulp Fiction is my favourite movie of all time. Talk about your favourite movies, how they influenced you, or if you just hate movies and why. Same goes for favourite books (aside from catcher in the rye).

[@britishhedgehog]

Pericard is a pretty talented player IRL. It's worth keeping him on the bench if you're sticking with the Green clones

[@amadaris78]

"pulp fiction is a movie from the 90s that none of you have ever heard of" .... WHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT!!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!? I FREAKIN LOVE THAT MOVIE!!! DONT YOU EVER!!!

[@lilypad145]

I liked Richie-rich, but Pulp Fiction scarred me for life :p 1990s baby.

[@ClocksInMyPlace]

Haha, some of John's comments about the subject were especially funny here. xD
