  • Happy Christmas Eve to those who celebrate. I took a little time this year to go through and watch all of our reunion videos and get a little weepy about all of the things we have been through and how this went from something very silly and tiny to something very silly and big. And also serious...maybe too serious sometimes. This video makes me want to be sillier and smaller, but also I want to go bigger and more interesting...it's a conflict! Let's do both! Somehow...we've always figured out how to do weird impossible things before...I think we can do that.
    Thanks as always for being a part of this thing, whether this is your first video or you've already seen all of these.

      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)

    • @SewlockHolmes
      @SewlockHolmes Před 4 měsíci +23

      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).

      @JessieCarty Před 4 měsíci +3

      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!

    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.

      @GoddessPallasAthena Před 5 měsíci

      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.

      @@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

    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.

      @@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.

    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
