Just an idea: who is in to sharing your top three choices of reunion videos with a reason for each? I would love to read them. I will edit this and add mine once I have them.
I feel like a true place of honor exists here, one like and it’s from vlog brothers themselves (my three favorites are the one on the hike in the desert 1:01:12 because “It’s Hanks Wallet, and two rocks” is a major vocal stim, the vidcon one 42:59 for its weird sense of nihilism and aggressive brother vibes, and Hanklerfish 2:06:32 for similar chaos and because it always makes me laugh at the bizarre nature of it all)
My top 3 favorites: Worst Reunion Video Ever (Just everything about it was beautiful), Nicest Hotel Room Ever (Picasso. Nuff said), and Definitely Not a Pecan Orchard (primarily the abandonment of less-important opinions but also the rough haiku) Honorary Mention: Pizza Cocktails with John and Hank (I love a good nerdfighter-interaction video)
My all-time favourite reunion video is not included here, it’s called “planets don’t exist”. One notable event is Hank getting raptured. Other faves include “suit up a very fancy reunion video” (do your best impression of your favourite dinosaur) and “nerds at the beach: a reunion video” (old school vlogbrothers, reminds me of 2016 when I discovered the channel and binge watched the whole thing from the beginning).
In order of appearance - Around 47 - Airport Reunion for this quote "It felt like starting a lot of sentences and then not knowing how to finish them" - Around 1:01 - Green brother reunions for the mention of how Alice is like a chatbot AND for Hank mentioning wanting a job where he could wear a mohawk at 40 - accomplished ;) - Then it gets tricky because the older ones are so endearing from the tour days to the 2009 FAQ about who can be a nerdfighter and nerdfighter terms, but I might have to go with (forgot to write the date and time stamp) when Maureen mentions John crossing her name out of books and signing them because of my low-key old school nerdfighter hall of fame for myself when recommended John go into a store and sign his name in a book - and he found Maureen's at a used bookstore instead of his own LOL Thanks for this walk down memory lane!
My favorite is the fanciest hotel reunion video because that’s the first vlogbrothers video that the algorithm ever served to me back in 2012. I’m grateful for that silly video being my gateway to my favorite community on the internet. DFTBA
Is This Mole A Concern got me, after having melanoma. And yes, the sun does give you cancer. (The mole I had was a birthmark, in the same place as a mole my great-grandfather had before he passed from melanoma. Thankfully for me, medicine is better and I am OK now.)
It's deeply troubling that despite all the attention the Green brothers bring to pressing issues in medicine, we still know nothing of the condition that causes them to appear younger and more pixelated the further back their videos were released.
i had the realization that 22 (my current age) isn’t the end everyone says it is because look how cool these guy were and still are, their impact on me and us and the world, there is still so much time for me (and you)!!
A book co-written by the Green brothers about a love story in space prison, published in 2031? Still sounds like a good idea. I'd love to read it! Hank, John, you have 7 years left to make this happen! Unless you want to keep writing about tuberculosis and doing other stuff that's important or that makes you happy. That's also legit.
thank you all for being with me this long! Been around since 2009 (I was 9) now I'm 23 and in grad school. Its been a wild ride! Can't wait to see what the future holds DFTBA
I envy you. I discovered them only earlier this year. That is, discovered them as an entity. I've been seeing John's books on the library shelf (mostly with dog-eared covers, well-used, well-read) and have been seeing Hank's enthusiastic face and hearing that voice on SciShow videos. Only earlier this year did I discover Vlogbrothers (because of Hank's "I have cancer" video) and found out only then, that they are important people to younger millennials and Gen-Z. (Speaking generationally, I'm an older Gen-Xer). I wish I had people like this too look up to, a group like Nerdfighteria that work together for greater good in the world, and companies like DFTBA that make a difference in the world. I guess in my generation, we had things like Band-Aid, USA for Africa, and LiveAID (though found out later, that a lot of that money got diverted to corrupt governments). The internet, social media and streaming can be used for good. Mostly, it's not but those two guys are making a difference and so is your generation. Maybe you will save us from what my generation (and especially those that came right before us) started - the corporate greed, the climate crisis, etc. That you have people like these brothers to that set a good example and to galvanize a group to do good things gives me some hope.
@@curtisbme Me too!! I was thinking that would be great on a t-shirt... but yeah... tombstone is even better!! It can also fit into their epitaphs video. :)
this though! I was telling my partner the other day "oh I'm not a huge fan, i've just been passively watching since TFIOS came out, that wasn't that long ago!".... it was news to me that 2012 was 10+ years ago!@@BeccaMoses
I love how often comparing glasses comes up and how they reach the same conclusions every time - the dirtiness of John's, how the left eye is the same. Also the brotherhood 2.0 video where John mentioned having completely abandoned Question Tuesday as a format after having just watched so many gave me chills!
As a queer dude in AL whos been watching y'alls content and projects since youtube was young, and since *I* was young, this makes me very sentimental, we have survived this long, it's nice.
So there is a reunion video of them at the beach where Hank talks about putting sunscreen or not putting sunscreen and says something like if i get cancer, i get cancer oh whatever (not at all verbatim) Looking back at it, i am like, oh Hank, oh no, dont say that.
Watching the old Brotherhood 2.0 episodes made me realize that it is going to be impossible to explain the 2000s to people born in the 2020s and 2030s.
It's so surreal watching your older videos. I was 14 when I started watching you and you guys seemed so much older. Now I'm 32 and in the old videos you seem so young to me.

this is hitting the feelings Hank. I don't want to say "i love you guys" because parasocial relationships are weird sometimes...but really...you guys mean so much to so many people
There are so many moments in this compilation which just hits hard. Hank talking about the sun giving him cancer. Hank talking about wanting to get a Mohawk at 40. The tfios movie premiere. And I’m just halfway through.
I can't believe this is the video that made me realise my "what year did you start watching vlogbrothers" answer on the census is SUPER wrong every year. It's at least 3 years too late XD
I am 42 and I started watching in my late 20's and maaaaan, this was surreal. My oldest child is slightly older than Henry. I felt every ounce of change and nostalgia in this video. Thanks for the midlife crisis, guys. 💕
Just to point out that hank saying 'You're fine, You're doing great, We're all going to die.' at 27:07 genuinely brought me to tears for a second. The exact thing that instills emotion in me is always when for a second I can see someone else's brain work like mine does and this moment of 'We're all going to die' not as a nihilistic comment but as a comment that ageing is okay hit me way harder than I expected.
@@1IGG the sad thing is that she’s clearly not terrible, just misguided and with a platform. We know that well intentioned, intelligent people are as likely, if not more so, to be indoctrinated into misinformation and the places that leads, no matter how terrible, as anybody else and trying to turn them back is a very difficult thing indeed because human brains are just the worst. I’ll not defend her views but I can see how she got to them and why she might think she’s entitled to them. Very decent people just forty years ago would have had the same opinions about homosexuality. Very decent people just a hundred years ago would have had the same opinions about black people. Combine a minority you don’t know personally with a compelling and plausible narrative that you’ve no reason to doubt (because, once again, you don’t know them personally) and our feeble human brains can be willing to believe anything. So yes, the story of Harry Potter is now tainted by its association with a terrible message. It has, largely in spite of many of the clear themes of the text, become a dog whistle for disgusting propaganda. The tragedy of it all is the suffering of the people marginalised by that message. The lesser tragedy of it all is the decent people who have been duped into believing and promoting that message who we may never get back
You know you've reached the perfect balance of _silly_ and *serious* when you leave your audience staring off into the sunset contemplating life and the world with wonder in their eyes, tears on their cheeks, and a smile on their face.
So, Christmas Eve is always really difficult for me, as it's the anniversary of my dad's death. There's never any telling how I'll handle this day, but this anniversary (the 15th) is particularly challenging. However, it turns out old Vlogbrothers reunion videos are exceptionally comforting. Thanks for making this day a bit better for me.
Why am I crying while watching this? I hate how weird I am. I've been feeling so overwhelmed and stressed and anxious during the holidays that I didn't really know how much I've been holding my breath and holding it all in until I clicked on this vid... and it just gave me so much comfort that I felt my body unwind and I was able to breath, and now I'm sobbing over 2 dudes who don't even know me. I've been a nerdfighter for years. Thank you for being my comfort watch after all this time.
You are not weird, you sound like you have anxiety or a lot of stress on you. Just remember that you are not alone, I saw your comment and I'm sending you warmest of hugs and love and energy and strength to deal with whatever you are going through ❤❤❤
Did I skip to the end to confirm I’ve been here since the beginning? I did and the PURE NOSTALGIA is what Christmas is all about. It also confirmed that while the breadth of your projects has increased massively - the essence and spirit is the same, and it is beautiful. Thank you for seeing me through 16 years of early adulthood\personal evolution.
It's impressive how we didn't notice how few pixels the world had back then. I look in the mirror now and see myself in hi-def, but I'd be surprised if anyone comments that they noticed the first time they pet their dog in 360p, or saw Grandma in color for the first time.
Been a Nerdfighter since November 2012, just over 11 years. Thank you both for helping a depressive, disabled OCD person laugh and believe in goodness and awesomeness
I love how much Vlogbrothers has evolved y'all. Like, we went from actual punishments for videos longer than 4 mins to this freedom they must feel posting an almost 3hr compilation. I love it! I think it speaks to a lot of things I can't currently eloquate. ❤ Happy holidays everyone
This made me realize and remember that you guys were really insistent on lessening your stress in life, and then life really said "HA, no." I'm sorry for your hard year, and I'm hopeful more less next year.
Per the new version of punishment rules, I believe Hank is now obligated to go do some self-care. May I suggest spending time with family as an option?
@@JulieHerrick When they asked if they could ignore the 4-minute rule, a bunch of people wanted to keep the idea of punishments because of tradition, but didn't want to actually make things worse for Hank or John. So the compromise agreed upon in the comment section was that they are still "punished," but their "punishment" is that they're required to go do something of their choice to take care of themselves. I don't think it's super official, but now when they break the traditional rules, people tell them to go do some self-care. It can be something like hydrating or taking a deep breath too, I just figured family time would be easy given that they both celebrate Christmas.
1:36:36 How many times have you switched glasses and been surprised that 1) you have the same prescription for your left eye and 2) John's glasses are dirtier than Hank's 😂
22:08 I sorry i found this too funny😂 : John: “ to live in the hearts of others is not to die” Hank and John in unison: “ HMMM- ” And than they proceed to talk about the price of mausoleums ?! no other explanation for that reaction 😂 ** little note : As someone who speak French as their first language I didn’t know what mausoleum meant, so I use google translate English to French to understand and I still was clueless of what it meant ( because although the French word was familiar I still didn’t know what it meant) , so I thank google for adding images immediately after the translation so I could finally understand 😅 * 22:31 OMG I COULD HAVE JUST CONTINUED THE VIDEO ! 🥲( still I always called them “the little houses in a cemetery” in French so I still learned something with the translating route ) ***22:46🍀🍀 never thought I’ll see a leprechaun in a cemetery especially made out of stain glass Conclusion : Watching the vlogbrothers makes me not only witness two people get younger and younger, but also learn new things and expend my vocabulary in more that one language ( I will now use this new power to spread this knowledge and boast my vocabulary to my friends. Thank you )
A 3 hour vlogbrothers video is exactly the thing I need to get myself through being stuck home with COVID at Christmastime. I'm sure this will keep my spirits up. Thanks!
god this vid sent me through a spiral. iv been watching since i was little, youtube came out when i was 6. my dad and i watch the videos religiously. the X jokes in X minutes was always my go to. as an 24 (25 in january) year old its just brings so many memories. nerdfighter forever, probably my longest fandom. thank you for everything youve done and the impact youve made on my life. this girl from Chicago grew up with you guys and hope to do so for the rest of my life.
2:50 John: "...except they actually know when the video is going to end." Me: Yeah, probably like one more minute or so. [SpongeBob Meme: "2 hours later..."]
While watching this I realized I started watching in 2009 and I’m 30 now, so I’ve been watching y’all for almost half the time I’ve been alive. That feels so surreal. Thank you for all of it
In the middle of watching this and it warms my heart to watch this in it’s entirety! My mother had passed two weeks ago due to recovery complications from her cancer remission. Call it being overly emotional but this channel has comforted me in all aspects after finding this RUclips (albeit late) on February 2023. I’m thankful to have find this community at all, and it’s definitely made my year less stressful to go through. Happy holidays to Hank, John and all of Nerdfighteria. I only hope for health and happiness for everyone in this upcoming new year ❤.
I'm sorry for your loss - I lost my mom a few years ago and know how much it can hurt. ❤️ I'm so happy you joined Nerdfighteria - we're thrilled to have you be a part of this community! If you joined after Project for Awesome this year, just wait until next February. P4A is one of the most glorious parts are Nerdfighteria and I think you're going to love experiencing it either for the first time or for the first time as a full-fledged part of the community.
Reunion videos also make me weepy, thinking about all this community has accomplished. It's been a pleasure to grow and evolve alongside these two human beings and the community we've all built together. Started when I was 12, now I'm 24 and about to be in law school! Can't believe how much we've grown.
I LOVE this. I have this on in the background almost every day at work. I'm a little sad about all the videos missing from it though. Like the Quadragocons, the Got It game, the FIRSTs video, the Whale Balls, Mountain Goats Aren't Goats, Snapchat questions, Questions: Potato Edition, Planets Aren't Real, and it would have been cool to have the outtakes videos in there too. But I'm just being greedy! :) Thanks for the awesome, reunion video spectacular!
You guys, thank you. When I’m scared and I can’t sleep, I put you on, and your voices are safe, and they say things that are true, coming from a place of love. I trust you with my subconscious, and I can sleep.
aw. . you made me cry. I'm glad for you finding comfort and safety, and I hope you find those things (comfort and safety) in more and more places as time goes by
Omg I’ve been doing the same thing! I have a very busy brain and usually cannot get it to shut up and let me go to sleep, but the last few nights having this on in the background has really helped me doze off. I’m way past childhood but it feels like listening to the grownups talking in another room at a family gathering. Just makes me feel safe.
@laurasouth348 awh 🥺 that’s so sweet thank you 🥹 I was crying while writing it (and now) @lyrianne9289 because these guys raised me, they’re role models who actively foster hope in a world that seems consumed by despair. Hank John, I’m so grateful for this community that you’ve made it is a safe space for so many. Thank you
When I visited Kathmandu I and NYC sometimes walked old neighbourhoods without aim, just eye-hunted for architecture I adore, when I saw a reality cadre which esthically made me ponder TIME (old architecture makes me feel time and the futility of life) I would focus and take in what I saw but purposefully didn’t take photos. Those two month long trips are in me years later because I took few photos.
Oh boy, I didn't look at the runtime until hank mentioned they'd been talking for 2:50 and assumed they had just rambled through almost half of a 6-10min montage vid. Oh boy! What a treat for Xmas eve!
Watching this on Christmas is so delightful, it's like I'm hanging out with my nice and fun uncles.....as they gradually get younger until they become younger than I am currently
Halfway through, and it's hitting me kinda hard. My younger brother died 8 years ago, and seeing your relationship across time has me feeling feelings. Love you guys.
I’ve been a Nerdfighter since Accio Deathly Hallows came out in 2007 and this video is going to be keeping me company as I wrap presents for my family. Parasocially love you and Nerdfighteria, have a wonderful holiday and best wishes!
i'm glad we learned so many times that their left eyes have the same prescription. Thank you! This is perfect to have on while formatting figures for my phd dissertation
I remember the video where you talked about Vlogbrothers reaching a "peak community size" or something like that about the subscriber count evening out. I like the idea that Nerdfighteria has reached it's final form in terms of size, but can continue to grow and get "bigger" in terms of achievements. Here's to silly things that are small
2:05:36 "The world probably won't be any different as a result of the stuff that you make or do" -John 2011. I don't believe that mothers of Sierra Leone agree with that. Or the people who receive TB tests in low income countries. You both have changed lives for the better.
I love this so much. I started watching your videos in 2007 in my college dorm and you made me feel so much less lonely. Today, you still do. ❤️ Marry Christmas, Brothers 🎄🎄🎄
So quite coincidentally this video has become the background noise for my exam block this January. Something about Hank and John just quietly chatting and laughing is incredibly calming for when I'm working on the mundane aspects of my essay writing. Let's home some of the brothers' brilliant writing talent rubs off on me too!
I watched 51 minutes of this before realizing what was happening. I'm sick today so grateful for the weird feeling of companionship you guys somehow manage to facilitate even though you don't know I exist, lol.
Hank @ 1:04:18 made me laugh cuz I work in fine dining and there are pre-sets on the table that get taken away depending on what you order. So if you didn’t order appetizers or salads, we would take away your smaller fork. If you said no bread, we’d take away the plate. To me it completely makes sense so I take for granted that people don’t know what goes on behind the scenes.
this is such a treat to watch, I've been watching since Accio Deathly Hallows in 2007 (when I was 12) and now in 2023 I'm still watching. Thank you, Green Brothers and happy holidays to all of Nerdfighteria
Just an idea: who is in to sharing your top three choices of reunion videos with a reason for each? I would love to read them. I will edit this and add mine once I have them.
I feel like a true place of honor exists here, one like and it’s from vlog brothers themselves
(my three favorites are the one on the hike in the desert 1:01:12 because “It’s Hanks Wallet, and two rocks” is a major vocal stim, the vidcon one 42:59 for its weird sense of nihilism and aggressive brother vibes, and Hanklerfish 2:06:32 for similar chaos and because it always makes me laugh at the bizarre nature of it all)
My top 3 favorites: Worst Reunion Video Ever (Just everything about it was beautiful),
Nicest Hotel Room Ever (Picasso. Nuff said), and
Definitely Not a Pecan Orchard (primarily the abandonment of less-important opinions but also the rough haiku)
Honorary Mention: Pizza Cocktails with John and Hank (I love a good nerdfighter-interaction video)
My all-time favourite reunion video is not included here, it’s called “planets don’t exist”. One notable event is Hank getting raptured.
Other faves include “suit up a very fancy reunion video” (do your best impression of your favourite dinosaur) and “nerds at the beach: a reunion video” (old school vlogbrothers, reminds me of 2016 when I discovered the channel and binge watched the whole thing from the beginning).
In order of appearance - Around 47 - Airport Reunion for this quote "It felt like starting a lot of sentences and then not knowing how to finish them"
- Around 1:01 - Green brother reunions for the mention of how Alice is like a chatbot AND for Hank mentioning wanting a job where he could wear a mohawk at 40 - accomplished ;)
- Then it gets tricky because the older ones are so endearing from the tour days to the 2009 FAQ about who can be a nerdfighter and nerdfighter terms, but I might have to go with (forgot to write the date and time stamp) when Maureen mentions John crossing her name out of books and signing them because of my low-key old school nerdfighter hall of fame for myself when recommended John go into a store and sign his name in a book - and he found Maureen's at a used bookstore instead of his own LOL
Thanks for this walk down memory lane!
My favorite is the fanciest hotel reunion video because that’s the first vlogbrothers video that the algorithm ever served to me back in 2012. I’m grateful for that silly video being my gateway to my favorite community on the internet. DFTBA
Now I can put this in the background while I’m alone in my house on Christmas, way to foster parasocial relationships guys!

Same. We are all baking cookies together.

Same ❤
Hi from another Christmas orphan!
hank saying he wants a mohawk at 40 at the 1 hour 3 minute mark hits DIFFERENT.
Omg Yes
Yup was thinking the same
Or when they’re on the beach and he says he can feel the sun giving him cancer 😢
Came to say this. 😬@@kristinhigginbotham1881
Is This Mole A Concern got me, after having melanoma. And yes, the sun does give you cancer. (The mole I had was a birthmark, in the same place as a mole my great-grandfather had before he passed from melanoma. Thankfully for me, medicine is better and I am OK now.)
It's deeply troubling that despite all the attention the Green brothers bring to pressing issues in medicine, we still know nothing of the condition that causes them to appear younger and more pixelated the further back their videos were released.
John is heavy on the itis, which includes pixilitis
I think it has something to do with tuberculosis
The more pixelation would benefit me, the less it emerges o'r my digital vissage
ummmm...
Because then they are younger and technology was less advanced...younger faces and fewer pixels!
@@cathygouldtis a silly joke my dear
"you're fine, you're doing great, we're all gonna die" - Hank Green, may possibly be the best quote of all time
I legitimately have a clip of that video saved to my phone and go back to watch it every now and again.
27:07 :D
Yes. It is one of my most favorite things in the world.
I say it to myself every time my anxiety goes out of control
@@felix__93I'm going to have to start doing this.
38:57 "Thank God that somebody likes something somewhere" is one of my favorite Vlogbrothers quotes.
This is the real Eras tour and I’m living for it.
I've had the horrifying realization that I am now older than Hank was at the beginning of Brotherhood 2.0. My mortality, it drains.
SAME
Holy Hell. I am today years old as I realize that I too am older now than Hank was then.
Feeling a little nauseous about it, not gonna lie.
We are in the same boat!
i had the realization that 22 (my current age) isn’t the end everyone says it is because look how cool these guy were and still are, their impact on me and us and the world, there is still so much time for me (and you)!!
22 is the beginning!
“if you had the chance to rename twitter” aged like FINE WINE. this video is lovely, i always end up binging the reunions anyway ❤
Careful! would've been such a better name than X tbh
"As you can see by the gray speckled walls behind me" is a phrase connected to some form of core memory for me.
mine too. i flew for the first time this year and the thought of john and all his anxiety was able to fly then so was I.
I use the phrase “in a stunning turn of events” with dry facetiousness so often in life because of John 😂
If John does ever write a memoir or autobiography it *needs* to be called "Heavy On The Itis"
I like that they retry the switching glasses thing so many times as if they forgot they've done it before, and rediscover the left eye thing.
Favorite theme so far is John's constant insecurity as the older brother who is no longer definitely taller than Hank in every shot. 😂
Also them rediscovering the same prescription in their left eyes.
I was an adult at the beginning of this video and I ended it as a child. So many emotions
That’s the perfect way to describe it!
hope you get better
A book co-written by the Green brothers about a love story in space prison, published in 2031? Still sounds like a good idea. I'd love to read it!
Hank, John, you have 7 years left to make this happen!
Unless you want to keep writing about tuberculosis and doing other stuff that's important or that makes you happy. That's also legit.
+
+
I'd love if they just silently dropped space prison love in 7 years for the nine of us left who remembered the bit
Only 7 years to go until we can read "Space Prison Love". Can't wait.
thank you all for being with me this long! Been around since 2009 (I was 9) now I'm 23 and in grad school. Its been a wild ride! Can't wait to see what the future holds DFTBA
I envy you. I discovered them only earlier this year. That is, discovered them as an entity. I've been seeing John's books on the library shelf (mostly with dog-eared covers, well-used, well-read) and have been seeing Hank's enthusiastic face and hearing that voice on SciShow videos. Only earlier this year did I discover Vlogbrothers (because of Hank's "I have cancer" video) and found out only then, that they are important people to younger millennials and Gen-Z. (Speaking generationally, I'm an older Gen-Xer).
I wish I had people like this too look up to, a group like Nerdfighteria that work together for greater good in the world, and companies like DFTBA that make a difference in the world.

hello fellow 2000'er!
I also started watching in 2009! … when I was 18 😬😂
Just checked mine. Nov 6, 2012, does not seem as long as it is :)
Wait I was gonna say the exact same thing!
"DAMN IT, COWS! I'm so bad at cows!" I only discovered vlogbrothers this year, so this is incredibly sweet and surreal to partake in.
I'm so excited for you to get to enjoy some of the parts of Nerdfighteria you haven't discovered yet. Welcome to the community!
welcome to nerdfighteria!
That feels like the kind of quote I'd want to have put on my tombstone.
@@curtisbme Me too!! I was thinking that would be great on a t-shirt... but yeah... tombstone is even better!! It can also fit into their epitaphs video. :)
It’s weird when you realize you’ve actively been here in nerdfighteria for more reunion videos than not.
same hat lol ,,, I’ve been here for 10 years???
Citizen of NerdFighteria since 2008!!!
But my biggest brag is that i found Hank first, through Strange Charm playing on Sirius Radio!!!!
this though! I was telling my partner the other day "oh I'm not a huge fan, i've just been passively watching since TFIOS came out, that wasn't that long ago!".... it was news to me that 2012 was 10+ years ago!@@BeccaMoses
I love how often comparing glasses comes up and how they reach the same conclusions every time - the dirtiness of John's, how the left eye is the same. Also the brotherhood 2.0 video where John mentioned having completely abandoned Question Tuesday as a format after having just watched so many gave me chills!
As a queer dude in AL whos been watching y'alls content and projects since youtube was young, and since *I* was young, this makes me very sentimental, we have survived this long, it's nice.
Only 7 years left until "space prison love" comes out!!!

John: “we genuinely get along”
Also John: *cover Hank’s face with a cat picture*
I’m CACKLING
WELCOME TO SIBLING LOVE lol😊
1:03:20 good news hank you were able to get a Mohawk, bad news, not in the way you expected

So there is a reunion video of them at the beach where Hank talks about putting sunscreen or not putting sunscreen and says something like if i get cancer, i get cancer oh whatever (not at all verbatim)
Looking back at it, i am like, oh Hank, oh no, dont say that.
Watching the old Brotherhood 2.0 episodes made me realize that it is going to be impossible to explain the 2000s to people born in the 2020s and 2030s.
Honestly just direct them to this video
It's so surreal watching your older videos. I was 14 when I started watching you and you guys seemed so much older. Now I'm 32 and in the old videos you seem so young to me.
That moment when Hank and John are now younger than me is a very bizarre shift
Am I about to watch a 3 hour video in full? hell yes.

Absolutely

Double speeeeeed
😁
I vividly remember nerds at the beach the first time around and I cannot believe that was almost 14 years ago

@@IsyHope That was a lot of work to do, bravo!
this is hitting the feelings Hank. I don't want to say "i love you guys" because parasocial relationships are weird sometimes...but really...you guys mean so much to so many people
It is cool growing and changing with them and the para part also reminds me how profoundly lonely I am wey hey
me too, nerdfighter sibling@@therabbithat
i adore the amount of times they have swapped glasses and made the same observations
I was not expecting this but it shows how lengthy and wonderful this journey we’ve gone on is
This. I saw the time stamp and was like "????????????? I'm here for it"
I'd forgotten about this whole thing! So fun to see this, in the before times
what a long, strange trip it's been!
There are so many moments in this compilation which just hits hard. Hank talking about the sun giving him cancer. Hank talking about wanting to get a Mohawk at 40. The tfios movie premiere. And I’m just halfway through.
Hank saying the sun is giving him cancer made me very frustrated with the world.
So, I just watched the entire video. How did they do this? They ACTUALLY got younger and more pixelated as the video went on! 😮
I can't believe this is the video that made me realise my "what year did you start watching vlogbrothers" answer on the census is SUPER wrong every year. It's at least 3 years too late XD
I always love the absolute trolling John does in reunion videos by covering Hank's face with graphics; it's ultimate; older sibling energy. 😊
I am 42 and I started watching in my late 20's and maaaaan, this was surreal. My oldest child is slightly older than Henry. I felt every ounce of change and nostalgia in this video.
Thanks for the midlife crisis, guys. 💕
Just to point out that hank saying 'You're fine, You're doing great, We're all going to die.' at 27:07 genuinely brought me to tears for a second. The exact thing that instills emotion in me is always when for a second I can see someone else's brain work like mine does and this moment of 'We're all going to die' not as a nihilistic comment but as a comment that ageing is okay hit me way harder than I expected.
Also, def cried at 'thank god somebody likes something somewhere'
aw “question tuesdays never got a second appearance” but it does!! don’t fear younger john, you bring it back!!
There is a certain melancholy to how Harry Potter based our lives once were
Before one knew about how terrible the author is.
@@1IGG the sad thing is that she’s clearly not terrible, just misguided and with a platform. We know that well intentioned, intelligent people are as likely, if not more so, to be indoctrinated into misinformation and the places that leads, no matter how terrible, as anybody else and trying to turn them back is a very difficult thing indeed because human brains are just the worst.
I’ll not defend her views but I can see how she got to them and why she might think she’s entitled to them. Very decent people just forty years ago would have had the same opinions about homosexuality. Very decent people just a hundred years ago would have had the same opinions about black people. Combine a minority you don’t know personally with a compelling and plausible narrative that you’ve no reason to doubt (because, once again, you don’t know them personally) and our feeble human brains can be willing to believe anything.
So yes, the story of Harry Potter is now tainted by its association with a terrible message. It has, largely in spite of many of the clear themes of the text, become a dog whistle for disgusting propaganda. The tragedy of it all is the suffering of the people marginalised by that message. The lesser tragedy of it all is the decent people who have been duped into believing and promoting that message who we may never get back
You know you've reached the perfect balance of _silly_ and *serious* when you leave your audience staring off into the sunset contemplating life and the world with wonder in their eyes, tears on their cheeks, and a smile on their face.
This is not what I expected when Hank said he was going to upload a weird video today, but this warms my heart ❤️ Merry Christmas Eve, John and Hank!
So, Christmas Eve is always really difficult for me, as it's the anniversary of my dad's death. There's never any telling how I'll handle this day, but this anniversary (the 15th) is particularly challenging. However, it turns out old Vlogbrothers reunion videos are exceptionally comforting. Thanks for making this day a bit better for me.
I'm sorry about your dad
2:21:08 "you're going to be a great father" Merry Christmas Hank and John!
Why am I crying while watching this? I hate how weird I am. I've been feeling so overwhelmed and stressed and anxious during the holidays that I didn't really know how much I've been holding my breath and holding it all in until I clicked on this vid... and it just gave me so much comfort that I felt my body unwind and I was able to breath, and now I'm sobbing over 2 dudes who don't even know me.
I've been a nerdfighter for years. Thank you for being my comfort watch after all this time.
You are not weird, you sound like you have anxiety or a lot of stress on you. Just remember that you are not alone, I saw your comment and I'm sending you warmest of hugs and love and energy and strength to deal with whatever you are going through ❤❤❤
You are perfect and weird, just like all of us
watched it all. think of the life that was lived between rec buttons. thanks for keeping me company while editing! have a great year!
Did I skip to the end to confirm I’ve been here since the beginning? I did and the PURE NOSTALGIA is what Christmas is all about. It also confirmed that while the breadth of your projects has increased massively - the essence and spirit is the same, and it is beautiful. Thank you for seeing me through 16 years of early adulthood\personal evolution.
I'm not sure this was what we expected when we voted to remove the 4 minute rule, but I'm not complaining
It's impressive how we didn't notice how few pixels the world had back then. I look in the mirror now and see myself in hi-def, but I'd be surprised if anyone comments that they noticed the first time they pet their dog in 360p, or saw Grandma in color for the first time.
7 years away from the release of Space Prison Love! Can’t wait to read this epic space adventure coauthored by the brothers Green.
Been a Nerdfighter since November 2012, just over 11 years. Thank you both for helping a depressive, disabled OCD person laugh and believe in goodness and awesomeness
That's about how long I've been around too !
at 4:06 I literally paused the video and was like "is that a hair???" and then it was indeed. what terrifying forshadowing
Have I watched all of these videos before, many of them multiple times over? Absolutely. Will I watch this again in this format? For sure
I love how much Vlogbrothers has evolved y'all. Like, we went from actual punishments for videos longer than 4 mins to this freedom they must feel posting an almost 3hr compilation. I love it! I think it speaks to a lot of things I can't currently eloquate. ❤ Happy holidays everyone
This made me realize and remember that you guys were really insistent on lessening your stress in life, and then life really said "HA, no." I'm sorry for your hard year, and I'm hopeful more less next year.
Per the new version of punishment rules, I believe Hank is now obligated to go do some self-care. May I suggest spending time with family as an option?
What are the new punishment rules? Did I miss something?
@@JulieHerrick When they asked if they could ignore the 4-minute rule, a bunch of people wanted to keep the idea of punishments because of tradition, but didn't want to actually make things worse for Hank or John. So the compromise agreed upon in the comment section was that they are still "punished," but their "punishment" is that they're required to go do something of their choice to take care of themselves. I don't think it's super official, but now when they break the traditional rules, people tell them to go do some self-care. It can be something like hydrating or taking a deep breath too, I just figured family time would be easy given that they both celebrate Christmas.
@@_maxgray it's sad to see how our society has become such a snowflakey soft hellhole.
@@JoshuaCaseyit literally changed because Hank had cancer, my guy.
Isn't this a montage and therefore exempt?
1:36:36 How many times have you switched glasses and been surprised that 1) you have the same prescription for your left eye and 2) John's glasses are dirtier than Hank's 😂
Omg we thought 2016 was a dumpster fire... We didn't know...
not me also wishing we were back in the 2016 dumpster fire days ... they sound quaint
@@ChelseaJeanBentleyso quaint
22:08 I sorry i found this too funny😂 :
John: “ to live in the hearts of others is not to die”
Hank and John in unison: “ HMMM- ”
And than they proceed to talk about the price of mausoleums ?!
no other explanation for that reaction 😂
** little note : As someone who speak French as their first language I didn’t know what mausoleum meant, so I use google translate English to French to understand and I still was clueless of what it meant ( because although the French word was familiar I still didn’t know what it meant) , so I thank google for adding images immediately after the translation so I could finally understand 😅
* 22:31 OMG I COULD HAVE JUST CONTINUED THE VIDEO ! 🥲( still I always called them “the little houses in a cemetery” in French so I still learned something with the translating route )
***22:46🍀🍀 never thought I’ll see a leprechaun in a cemetery especially made out of stain glass
Conclusion : Watching the vlogbrothers makes me not only witness two people get younger and younger, but also learn new things and expend my vocabulary in more that one language ( I will now use this new power to spread this knowledge and boast my vocabulary to my friends. Thank you )
This was not 4 minutes long. Instead, it was a delight. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Best Christmas present I ever received. Mostly because I don't celebrate it, but also because it's great
If you do not celebrate the solstice the world will keep turning and the days will change in length all the same
A 3 hour vlogbrothers video is exactly the thing I need to get myself through being stuck home with COVID at Christmastime. I'm sure this will keep my spirits up. Thanks!
oh no!! feel better, love to you 💖
Feel better soon! 🌻
It's interesting John has looked relatively the same for years but Hank is just finally growing into his age....
He’s aged a lot since being sick but that’s comforting bc I did too and I don’t feel as alone about that
god this vid sent me through a spiral. iv been watching since i was little, youtube came out when i was 6. my dad and i watch the videos religiously. the X jokes in X minutes was always my go to. as an 24 (25 in january) year old its just brings so many memories. nerdfighter forever, probably my longest fandom. thank you for everything youve done and the impact youve made on my life. this girl from Chicago grew up with you guys and hope to do so for the rest of my life.
2:50 John: "...except they actually know when the video is going to end."
Me: Yeah, probably like one more minute or so.
[SpongeBob Meme: "2 hours later..."]
While watching this I realized I started watching in 2009 and I’m 30 now, so I’ve been watching y’all for almost half the time I’ve been alive. That feels so surreal. Thank you for all of it
I also started in 2009. I was in my 20s and it was the first year I had broadband access and I became just a tad addicted to the internet.
In the middle of watching this and it warms my heart to watch this in it’s entirety!
My mother had passed two weeks ago due to recovery complications from her cancer remission. Call it being overly emotional but this channel has comforted me in all aspects after finding this RUclips (albeit late) on February 2023. I’m thankful to have find this community at all, and it’s definitely made my year less stressful to go through.
Happy holidays to Hank, John and all of Nerdfighteria. I only hope for health and happiness for everyone in this upcoming new year ❤.
I'm sorry for your loss - I lost my mom a few years ago and know how much it can hurt. ❤️ I'm so happy you joined Nerdfighteria - we're thrilled to have you be a part of this community! If you joined after Project for Awesome this year, just wait until next February. P4A is one of the most glorious parts are Nerdfighteria and I think you're going to love experiencing it either for the first time or for the first time as a full-fledged part of the community.
Sending virtual hugs your way during this difficult time! ❤️
May her memory be a blessing.
I'm sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself 🌻
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Reunion videos also make me weepy, thinking about all this community has accomplished. It's been a pleasure to grow and evolve alongside these two human beings and the community we've all built together. Started when I was 12, now I'm 24 and about to be in law school! Can't believe how much we've grown.
Hearing the old video intros unlocked core memories of being in high school and spending HOURS watching all these RUclips videos
I LOVE this. I have this on in the background almost every day at work. I'm a little sad about all the videos missing from it though. Like the Quadragocons, the Got It game, the FIRSTs video, the Whale Balls, Mountain Goats Aren't Goats, Snapchat questions, Questions: Potato Edition, Planets Aren't Real, and it would have been cool to have the outtakes videos in there too. But I'm just being greedy! :) Thanks for the awesome, reunion video spectacular!
oh my god this is exactly what i do sometimes - binge watching hank and john reunion videos - and now it's conveniently in one video!!!
THIS IS SUCH A CUTE IDEA!!! I can’t wait to watch the whole thing!!
You guys, thank you. When I’m scared and I can’t sleep, I put you on, and your voices are safe, and they say things that are true, coming from a place of love. I trust you with my subconscious, and I can sleep.
aw. . you made me cry. I'm glad for you finding comfort and safety, and I hope you find those things (comfort and safety) in more and more places as time goes by
Omg I’ve been doing the same thing! I have a very busy brain and usually cannot get it to shut up and let me go to sleep, but the last few nights having this on in the background has really helped me doze off. I’m way past childhood but it feels like listening to the grownups talking in another room at a family gathering. Just makes me feel safe.
@laurasouth348 awh 🥺 that’s so sweet thank you 🥹 I was crying while writing it (and now) @lyrianne9289 because these guys raised me, they’re role models who actively foster hope in a world that seems consumed by despair. Hank John, I’m so grateful for this community that you’ve made it is a safe space for so many. Thank you
When I visited Kathmandu I and NYC sometimes walked old neighbourhoods without aim, just eye-hunted for architecture I adore, when I saw a reality cadre which esthically made me ponder TIME (old architecture makes me feel time and the futility of life) I would focus and take in what I saw but purposefully didn’t take photos. Those two month long trips are in me years later because I took few photos.
Oh boy, I didn't look at the runtime until hank mentioned they'd been talking for 2:50 and assumed they had just rambled through almost half of a 6-10min montage vid. Oh boy! What a treat for Xmas eve!
Am I about to watch 3 hours of videos I've already seen??
Why, yes. Yes I am. 😂
Watching the longest vlogbrothers video makes the end of a VERY long year 100 times better.
Merry Christmas, Nerdfighteria
Watching this on Christmas is so delightful, it's like I'm hanging out with my nice and fun uncles.....as they gradually get younger until they become younger than I am currently
1:34:31 “I can feel it giving me cancer” oh Hank you dear sweet summer child just you wait
Halfway through, and it's hitting me kinda hard. My younger brother died 8 years ago, and seeing your relationship across time has me feeling feelings. Love you guys.
I’ve been a Nerdfighter since Accio Deathly Hallows came out in 2007 and this video is going to be keeping me company as I wrap presents for my family. Parasocially love you and Nerdfighteria, have a wonderful holiday and best wishes!
i'm glad we learned so many times that their left eyes have the same prescription.
Thank you! This is perfect to have on while formatting figures for my phd dissertation
What a beautiful throwback. I’ve been a nerdfighter for 10 years and it was so great to rewatch old classics.
RE: smooth jazz airport reunion
If Hank and John wrote a book together: Project Hail Married At First Contact
words that tumbled out were just “oh im so glad they are together”
I remember the video where you talked about Vlogbrothers reaching a "peak community size" or something like that about the subscriber count evening out. I like the idea that Nerdfighteria has reached it's final form in terms of size, but can continue to grow and get "bigger" in terms of achievements. Here's to silly things that are small
2:05:36 "The world probably won't be any different as a result of the stuff that you make or do" -John 2011. I don't believe that mothers of Sierra Leone agree with that. Or the people who receive TB tests in low income countries. You both have changed lives for the better.
"the doesnt kill you makes you stronger" bit hits so much harder knowing how things went
I love this so much. I started watching your videos in 2007 in my college dorm and you made me feel so much less lonely. Today, you still do. ❤️ Marry Christmas, Brothers 🎄🎄🎄
So quite coincidentally this video has become the background noise for my exam block this January. Something about Hank and John just quietly chatting and laughing is incredibly calming for when I'm working on the mundane aspects of my essay writing. Let's home some of the brothers' brilliant writing talent rubs off on me too!
This is exactly what I wanted for Christmas. Thank you.
37:07 “It’s just RUclips” 😪😶🌫️🤯 YOU GOT ME THERE DAMN!
also “feel happy 😃” is soo cute 🥹
Oh no this is going to hit the feels real hard
1:11:44 My partner with Crohn’s and I refer to Hank’s ten-year-plan, “When I’m 55, I wanna still have a colon” all the flipping time.
I watched 51 minutes of this before realizing what was happening. I'm sick today so grateful for the weird feeling of companionship you guys somehow manage to facilitate even though you don't know I exist, lol.
This was a good present wrapping video. Thank you for the cozy Christmas vibes!
man, the reunion videos have always been my favorite. what a treat this was, thank you
Hank @ 1:04:18 made me laugh cuz I work in fine dining and there are pre-sets on the table that get taken away depending on what you order. So if you didn’t order appetizers or salads, we would take away your smaller fork. If you said no bread, we’d take away the plate. To me it completely makes sense so I take for granted that people don’t know what goes on behind the scenes.
I hope the dancing child on the beach is still so happy. Merry Christmas y'all.
this is such a treat to watch, I've been watching since Accio Deathly Hallows in 2007 (when I was 12) and now in 2023 I'm still watching. Thank you, Green Brothers and happy holidays to all of Nerdfighteria
