p.s. 22 minutes of outtakes: th-cam.com/video/nTgAZG31nkE/w-d-xo.html
here for the OUTTAKES
Yay
The outtakes I need
22 MINUTES ITS A PIZZAMAS MIRACLE
Outtakes = everyone’s favorite way to continue procrastinating while still not breaking our “I’ll get back to work right after I watch today’s quota of @vlogbrothers’ videos” promise.

John's deletion of his 2011 tweets is the modern day burning of the library of Alexandria
Some 2011 tweets should really be deleted tho... Let the dead rest, 2011 internet culture too.
As an Alexandrian who's still not over the burning of our library... I'll let this pass 😂
Yes, I think it's a fair comparison to say that John's tweets in the year of 2011 contained roughly an equally valuable wealth of knowledge as the entire Library of Alexandria.
When you reference something and other know nothings come and also reference it after they looked it up on wikipedia. Great job, try hards. Tweets by youtardbers would not be worthy. They do need to be burned though.
@@HoorayTV21 who are you
"I'm still here" "He's still here"
Siblings
"Siblings: they're still here." should be the official tagline for siblings.
This feels like a payback for the time Hank trolled through John's TH-cam history!!! Still into vending machines John?? :3
Now I mostly watch, like, Stuff People Got At Garage Sales. -John
@@vlogbrothers I watch those videos too!
@@vlogbrothers Any recommendations?
@@vlogbrothers is there an anthropecene review episode in that? I'm behind on it and have yet to read the book 🤧
@@vlogbrothers what about ants Canada and the marble Olympics?
"Nobody laughs at their own jokes like Hank Green" says the guy who still laughs while telling the moth joke every time he tells is
To be fair, that's just one joke, and it's a doozy. (Also, it's not his joke, and he'll tell you as much.)
My husband laughs at his own jokes so much that when he tells them, he interrupts himself to tell the punchline and then laughs so hard he can't talk. I love everything about it.
People act like that's the mark of a bad joke-teller, but I think that's the most entertaining way to present a joke.
Unless my wife has an alternate persona I'm only finding now, your husband isn't the only one. Pretty sure she has a different opinion about it, tho...so we can rule out the first part of that last sentence.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I understand that these were tweets from 2011, but nothing made me realise that fact more than the ice-bucket-challenge style awakening that was the name "Skrillex"
Don't let this distract you from the fact that I get bullied because my classmates think my videos are the worst. Please don't agree, dear an
I was momentarily pulled back in time to high school
That original EP still slaps. Regardless of what you think of that dubstep sound, most of those tracks are super well written
I’m still waiting for his comeback. I think the most recent thing he did was a wonderful remix of The Island by Pendulum.
@@AxxLAfriku if you don't want to get bullied you should delete your videos
*immediately looks at the description*
"here's the whole 22-minute thing" YES THANK YOU CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY
Thank you for commenting that, I did not dare to hope, so I would not have checked the description 🙈 dftba!
bless you, I would have missed that if it weren't for you
THANK YOU. Came down to the comments section to request an outtakes video. The comments section never disappoints.
One time my college students peppered their final project presentation with status updates I had posted on Facebook when *I* was in college, and it was both the funniest and scariest thing that ever happened to me 😳 Luckily they showed a lot of restraint with their selections, and it was a good reminder to me to check my dang privacy settings!

This means both that you have college students and that facebook was a thing when you were in college. This makes me feel very old 😢

Fun idea, you two should do a podcast!
We'll look into it :) -John
@@vlogbrothers ‘dear john and hank’ has a nice ring to it
@@vlogbrothers This would actually be a very welcome substitution for Hello Internet. I miss GCP Grey and Brady Haran shenanigans tim related shenanigans.
@@ThyCorruptor They already have a podcast called 'Dear Hank and John'
@@toni-tb7uo Eh, that'll never catch on.
Can I just say: Huge respect to Hank for NOT deleting his old tweets!
I really like that style of just letting your past exist as it's own thing!
While great in concept, way too many people are willing to use a bad opinion you had a decade ago to ruin your current life.
@@MiuKujo It's not great that we live in a world where dumb words from our greener selves aren't always allowed to die, but maybe the best course is to compromise. Delete the awful things you wouldn't want to say out loud, now that you know better, but let the stuff that's simply embarrassing remain with the rest. You can acknowledge your past by keeping most things, but also respect your future by preventing the need to have a stupid conversation with someone acting in bad faith.
@@KyleJMitchell That's a great approach!
If you watch Hank's face closely after John says "Skrillex" you can see him go through the five stages of grief
The “Everyday I’m Shufflin” tweet made me have the most genuine, stupid laugh. Thank you John and Hank 😂😂
"Nobody laughs at their own jokes like Hank Green."
Excuse you, John, I would like to challenge that statement.
When Hank loses it laughing, I realize y'all sound the same when you can't contain yourselves and it's awesome. These are all choice picks and I'm GOING for the 22 minute director's cut. Also maybe will delete my tweets from 2011.
I'm having a pain day but this cheered me up and really made me giggle, time to watch the 22 minute version!
2:50 john's tiny laugh with hank's big laugh is so cute
It is now exciting like when a roller coaster is stopped for maintenance and you are in the wrong place, it’s very scary, there is nothing you can do, you have no idea what’s broken or what will happen when it’s fixed but every now and then you notice something from a cool new angle before going back to panicking.
“because i’m smart, i deleted all my tweets from 2011.”
i see you that, john, and raise you my entire deleted twitter account from 2011. FREEDOM.
i loled so hard at the “every day i’m shuffling” tweet. thank you for the belly laugh. 🤣🤣🤣
"Wait, how far down does this rollercoaster go?!" I laughed so hard because that hits me deep!
I'm a teacher and I laugh at my own jokes all the time! There's always one kid in class who laughs with me and the rest just ignore my comic talent. 😅
You're just an artist not appreciated in your time.
Today I showed my class an example art installation proposal that proposed to stretch thread all through the classroom like a laser grid, rendering it unusable. NO ONE LAUGHED!
@@dragonharris5465 a tragedy!!! 😂
It happens
That one kid is gonna be bloody epic
"who the hell got potatoes all over my phone"
how does one get POTATOES all over a phone?
Eating potatoes and playing a game?
Spilling?
:3
If those potatoes are thinly sliced, deep fried, and then crumble apart, quite easy actually.
I'm guessing mashed potatoes.
I appreciate that John's pause after reading the tweet was clearly him silently asking the same question that you are, but the answer that Hank gave instead was to the question posed in the tweet itself.
I imagined like potato chip crumbs idk
John’s description of the excitement of a thing going from the joy and exhilaration of going up the hill to the somewhat terrifying experience of going down the hill on a rollercoaster is so beautifully evocative and captures the shifts in the social internet so perfectly.
Goatee Hank actually looks good, also like a complete stranger, but still good 🐐
Yeah, like imagine waking up in a Twilight Zone where the only difference is that Hank has looked like that the whole time except when he has grown the rest of his facial hairs or shaved his chin down to an ironic but still kinda cool looking soul patch, for Pizzamass or whatever takes its place in this universe, and this Hank somehow has the exact same energy and personality and videos (except with goatee) and discography and bibliography.
I'm pretty sure Goatee Hank is currently living in Moscow under asylum.
Bring back the goatee! #BringBackTheGoatee
this is kind of wild to watch because 2011 was the peak of my involvement in nerdfighteria and this is making me confront the fact that that was indeed 10 years ago
Ooh a blast from the past, also this is proof Hank has kinda grown up
Well said.
True, I always imagine him to have been born a grown up and although this video kind of confirms that a little, it also contradicts in a way too
Seeing Hank and John together always makes me so happy :)
I can’t wait to be going through Hank’s 2021 TikToks in 2031!
I remember the negativity over the TFIOS cover! And (if I remember correctly) Sarah came to the rescue to say artistically why it was a wonderful cover ♥️
This has some of the most sibling energy in my personal recollection of a vlog brothers video ever
"I'm Hank Green, and I'm internet famous"
"And I'm his [brother, John] and I'm [also internet famous]
"And together we're going to take a look at [our lives and the world like, a decade ago??] by reading, discussing, and critiquing my tweets, welcome to...
"Delete this!"
Hank Green sure has a talent at looking at Tweets.
John Green is literally the pinnacle of human beauty
I mean maybe if he got a goatee...
*Hank Green
For a moment I was afraid you were gonna look at John's tweets on the wayback machine
Wow that roller coaster analogy is SO spot on
I remember why hank wanted to talk to skrillex, it was a passing comment about that he would know if crash course had become popular, that he would be able to phone up someone famous like it was nothing, “dont care who (throws hands) i dunno skrillex?!”
On a positive note Hank's Ice Cream Changes is a great video I've been using for years to teach guitar, PLEASE! Never take it down.
I adore how specific John is about the roller coaster analogy, a perfect metaphor that has aged exactly as described
It's so weird that I remember some of these from a decade ago (the t-shirts, the stuff about the cover). Can't believe it's been a decade.
I recently found this channel (I've been following SciShow for years now) and now this is my go to place when I need a pick-me-up. You two are just wonderful.🥰
I love when you have reunions. You clearly have so much fun together. This is probably why I like "Dear Hank And John" so much. You can tell you're having a ton of fun.
Not all heroes wear capes! Even after 10 years you both come up in my classroom/s. Love your work!
I thought it just meant that it was part of the title. "The Fault in Our Stars: John Green"
This is what I imagine watching a tiny bit Dear Hank and John unfold to be like. Can't get over their faces when they laugh that hard. So much love there.
I am so glad I started watching vlogbrothers again. TikTok just isn't the same. 2011 was a simpler time for us all lol.
These tweets are basically time travel. I'm feeling so many feelings and so very much nostalgia. Thank you. 🙏
Your brotherhood is absolutely the most wholesome of internet content.
Has someone else said the thing about the two different parts of the roller coaster? That was pretty brilliant. Full on brilliant actually.
I just listened to Hank’s despairing “why did I want to talk to Skrillex?” on loop for a solid minute. I hope someone’s life was improved by knowing no matter what you do, you were definitely more productive than me 😂
At @4:00 John just look like he told a corny dad joke and Hank looks like the son who laughs all the time.
In 2011 I was devastated that I could not make it to the show Hank did in Portland. Hank, please come back!
2:50 that is the most GENUINE laughter i have EVER heard
I can't believe the TFIOS cover was unpopular at first. at this point it's iconic, probably one of the most iconic book cover of all time even.
“it turned out the cover did pretty well” is the best hindsight-is-20/20 burn of all time
HE’S STILL HERE?!?! THIS IS THE BEST!!!
May be one of my favorite videos. And I love all their videos, but Hanks reaction to Every Day I’m Shuffling was priceless
Said and shown starting at 2:53:
More and more, I am reminded of how similar Hank and I sometimes are, at least in some respects. Why did I bring that up now? We both seem to laugh at similarly odd times, and funny things to us sometimes aren't as funny to other people. Also, our level of laughter and tone of it is somewhat similar.
Is this too weird? Maybe I'm just making these comparisons because I long for the days when some of my friends and I can laugh at things we said ten years ago. Or maybe I'm making them because I had too much fun watching this video. No. Scratch that--"too much fun" does not exist.
The point is: you two just made my day with this joyful piece of home sapien life.
Oh, and that moment I referenced at the beginning made me literally laugh out loud, but more than that, contributed to this comment and was incredibly wholesome. And that was an understatement.
Also, said starting at 3:47: Hank's laughter again reminded me of the comparison.
I was in middle school when Hank wrote these tweets. I also didn't know that John or Hank existed, despite having heard of TFIOS. I am now an adult in college, and very aware of two nerd dads on the internet.
Same
My favorite is just seeing yall be brothers I love that thank you both for sharing it with us all
The genuine joy and love you two have with each other is so uplifting to watch.
I love you two so much. Sigh. All my good vibes are directed at you. Big hugs and happy holidays.
was hoping for an extended version, thanks brothers
I was going to say that I went to the Portland show that Hank was tweeting about, but that was in 2012. Guess I'm no help, but I'm glad you had fun!
This is giving me so much joy during the slight pit of despair that is finals week - thank you, Hank and John!
Is it just me or are we being blessed with extra Vlogbrothers content this week? (extremely here for it!)
Oh, I needed this laugh right now! Thank you John and Hank!
how well do you two make my day?
“Every day I’m shufflin’” is peak 2011.
I remember seeing Hank retweet that old tweet of his! Now I know when this video was filmed!
I think this was my favorite vlogbrothers video. The broccoli tree video was also great.
I am so happy to see this again today. Thank you TH-cam gods for recommending this gem. I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying.
Been a fan of Hank Green's from Tiktok for a bit now, read the books (WOW!)
This is the first time I'm seeing the infamous card feud brother. I'm a fan already!
Lord I remember that goatee vividly, I watched and rewatched that Biology series so many times.
I heard "shave it or keep it" and IMMEDIATELY knew that was about Evil Hank :D
Just now realizing that I've been a Nerdfighter for 10 years! That's a third of my life!
This video really highlights how much more Hank moves around in videos that John.
“Who the hell got potatoes all over my phone?” -Hank Green, 2011
I love you guys! Thanks for doing what you do! ❤️
Oh my god a real throwback - the Goatee Hank Biology was my first introduction to the Vlogbrothers ecosystem. I can still hear "the most revolutionary course , in bi-ology" ringing in my ears!
2:38
hank's soul left his body for a sec there istfg
This is such a fun and funny video and so simple this is what's awesome about this channel. It evolves but in some ways its still in 2011
Hank’s still here!!
Goatee-Hank just cheered me up so much, thank you for that
it was such a good cover I wouldnt stop seeing it for the next 5 years afterwards 😐
22 whole minutes this is amazing!!!
After years of research I find you both to be brilliant independently. Combined, however, your sum is definitely greater than your parts. Cheers.
the roller coaster analogy is the truest thing i've ever watched
these video's are so wholesome with the two of you together :D
All these tweets have aged well. As did all the videos Associated with them.
God bless the extended version, thank you for giving the people what they want amen
I’m so, so, so sad that I’m now reminded of the Hank goatee. This video felt like an attack on old nerdfighters, and a lesson to new ones.
He’s still here!
“Does everyone else like the everyday I’m shufflin’ song as much as I do?” We did I think we did, Hank.
This is so great. Thank you John and Hank!
Oh my god I was thinking I’ll have to look it up but thanks John
Amazing. These videos always make me smile.
never stop laughing at your own jokes, it's one of my favorite things. I love getting to join you all in your laughter!
For whatever it's worth - I was at that 2011 Portland concert & remember having a great time, still even remember the other people on the bill and some songs that were sung (Hank sang Friday? The Rebecca Black song? Which I think was very new at the time?), but do not remember anything about shoes or lack thereof....
he’s still here!!!!! god bless
JOHN YOU JUST WON A GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD CONGRATULATIONS!!
