John, you should just skip over the anxiety stage of self-image, and go right to delusional appreciation of your own beautiful features. Don't try to convince yourself that other people don't care about your features, convince yourself that you are fabulous!
It's nice to remember that, were Bald and Other John Green not fictional, they would have been able legally to get married in England and Wales as of last weekend. Although a bit embarrassing to admit that they wouldn't have been able to get married the weekend before. [Also "Word is a word; thank you, Meredith." Sometimes I wonder what John would do without her.]
John, I love your face!! I really believe that the more beautiful and interesting a person is on the inside, the more attractive they become in every way. And you are the most awesome person (of everyone who I don't personally know), so your face makes me happy! Please don't waste energy disliking those sorts of things about yourself, and know that your videos always brighten my day. :)
John, we all love your face and find no flaw in it. How could we watch all of your videos if we didn't?! I consider you one of the most handsome adult male TH-camrs and my personal favorite.
As I sat and listened to you ruminate on the nature of repetition by saying "word, word, word, word, word..." over and over, I realized that I was bearing witness to the moment in which John Green finally succumbed to madness.
I'm a new Nerdfighter here, but I absolutely love your videos with Hank, and I love your videos about the Wimbly Womblys. I didn't really care about soccer before I watched them, but now I have found my one true love sprung from my only hate, sports-wise. Anyway, I haven't ever noticed your lisp during your videos. You sound good! Also, don't hate your face. It's a nice face.
So, the other night I went out and bumped into a guy I hadn't seen in forever. He just moved back from Sweden and mentioned that while there he met an Englishman from Swindon and went on to explain to this guy how he knows about Swindon Town. He apparently had to explain the Swoodilypoopers to this random stranger. lol. Funny stuff.
John, don't worry about your slight slight lisp. I watched so much Crash Course at one point that I started to imitate your lisp and speech patterns when talking, especially when I wanted to sound academic and cool at the same time. So for me, it became a symbol of intelligence and clever wit. (:
I wasn't expecting this video to actually help me, but it does. Wanting to do more than you feel you can does hit especially hard if you're doing something that matters to you, even if it's "supposed" to be fun or easy, like making youtube videos or non-professional writing.
I love watching the Womblys! Hoping they move up to the Championship League so I can watch them play the Royals from Reading (My favorite English team) next season. Keep it up John! "Top of the League, top of the League..."
Those are all valid pet-peeves, but I challenge you to look at yourself with love. You know Sarah's face as well as your own, you know all her asymmetry and blemishes and you don't find her less beautiful for them. They are the punctuation of her face, the parts that add inflection and character. Yours are the same way. Same with the lisp. Hannah Hart is no less loveable and fun and intelligent and great for her lisp, and no one is privately shaming her for it. No one judges yours. It's hard to step outside yourself sometimes, but it's important to remember that you are no less "you" because of your imperfections. They make you.
FYI apparently Louis Tomlinson, who was the member of One Direction that you were matched up with (via that quiz) played for Doncaster Rovers, and is now finishing up a deal to become an owner of Doncaster (it's his home town)
I really enjoy hearing about the players as people. Could next episode be about the players so that we can learn about people who aren't the John Greens?
I have a theory for why Bald John Green is always offside (read his autobiography Always Slightly Offside: The Bald John Green Story). He is too damn fast. Your kicks are pretty good and initially BJG has great position but he's just SO ATHLETIC that before you can get the kick off, BJG is off to the races. If you were to pass to OJG in that situation I think you'd be fine 10 times out of 10.
John? Literally no-one in the entire nerdfighter community has ever noticed your lisp, except for maybe your brother, and he's your brother, so he's kind of exempt because he talks to you more than we do.
It's weird because I've occasionally noticed Hank having a lisp, but not John. I guess if Hank's is worse it makes me less likely to notice John's? Or maybe John's rewording strategy is just extremely successful.
John, I don't know of a single person who has never thought something about their physical appearance. I think we just have to remember that people really don't care that much. I like to think that people probably look at me as much as I look at them, and we probably have the same thoughts about each other. I rarely (I just realized I'm actually quite self-absorbed) think about other people when I'm just... thinking. And if I'm talking to someone, I'm thinking about what they're saying. I THINK that's how everybody else works, too. If not, please let me know.
John, I would love to hear you address the recent SCOTUS campaign finance decision, made on the rationale that money = free speech. Considering that those same billionaires that would hit the limits are the ones who likely own the corporations that benefited from Citizens United v. FEC, Do you think that this turns the US into a plutocracy, or have we always been one? (I know. Politics. But you are very articulate and I think you'd address the complications of free speech very well.)
Bald John Green shouldn't take the corners because he could useful in the box as he's tall. Even if his heading is poor he could still cause problems by running around.
Could you do a video about how some TH-cam creators are almost seen like they are celebrities? Also a video about hateful/hurtful comments and arguments that occur within the comments section of videos.
John, I made a comment on an old Vlogbrothers video essentially explaining that you are very attractive (even more so when holding Henry and signing a lullaby) over 200 people have liked my comment… just saying.
I have a question that I'd love to be answered. Let's say that we live in a hypothetical alternate universe. In this universe, America isn't in debt. What would it be like? Can countries turn profits?
John, you should just skip over the anxiety stage of self-image, and go right to delusional appreciation of your own beautiful features. Don't try to convince yourself that other people don't care about your features, convince yourself that you are fabulous!
I've been slacking on these videos. I forgot how much I love listening to these. I will now spend my weekend marathoning AFC videos.
It's nice to remember that, were Bald and Other John Green not fictional, they would have been able legally to get married in England and Wales as of last weekend. Although a bit embarrassing to admit that they wouldn't have been able to get married the weekend before.
[Also "Word is a word; thank you, Meredith." Sometimes I wonder what John would do without her.]
I am just now watching the Wimbly Womblys and I am loving it! I have missed so much!
Don't worry John, we all love your face.
I only tolerate it.
Why else would we make T-shirts out of it? :P
One of the items on my birthday wishlist is John's face for my torso.
Also, pizza.
That would mean a major lifestyle change for John. Or do you mean a tattoo?
John, I love your face!! I really believe that the more beautiful and interesting a person is on the inside, the more attractive they become in every way.

I've watched Vlogbrothers videos for a year and a half and never noticed John's lisp.
Me neither.
Hm, not sure if real or just confirmation bias.
meerpowa I guess it is real, since John said so himself.
meerpowa
It's definitely real--maybe I'm more sensitive to that sort of thing but it's pretty prominent if you're looking for it!
As I sat and listened to you ruminate on the nature of repetition by saying "word, word, word, word, word..." over and over, I realized that I was bearing witness to the moment in which John Green finally succumbed to madness.
I can't really imagine what part of John's face John is unhappy with.
IKR
Whine and complain? Oh, you'll fit right in on the terraces here. We can do Prem-eer League quality moaning.
John your face is great I love it.

Loving the work you do John! Your face is beautiful and you actively work towards ending world-suck. Keep going! ;)

You should make a video about what you like about video editing, too. And what you like about yourself. :) So many people think you are amazing.
I love watching the Womblys! Hoping they move up to the Championship League so I can watch them play the Royals from Reading (My favorite English team) next season. Keep it up John! "Top of the League, top of the League..."
You always post these videos exactly when I get back to my dorm from class. I'm always one of the first, like, 5 viewers haha.
6:25 is called semantic satiation. It's one of my favorite cognitive phenomena!
I've been craving other Wimbly Wombly stories. Can we get to know some of the other players, John? Pleeeaasssee?
Your voice is back! Good to hear :)
Topic suggestion:
John Green and John Green. Their love life? How they're doing? Gonna adopt?
I still chant "Top of the League, Top of the League..."
John the golden child is a CAM are you kidding me he will be perfect for the formation I've been suggesting before the beginning of time. 4-1-2-1-2!

Hear, Hear!!
John, whenever you feel bad about your face just look at Kennedy's hair cut. You'll feel much better.
FYI apparently Louis Tomlinson, who was the member of One Direction that you were matched up with (via that quiz) played for Doncaster Rovers, and is now finishing up a deal to become an owner of Doncaster (it's his home town)
John, YOUR FACE IS BEAUTIFUL. YOU'RE AN AMAZING PERSON. I'm pretty sure nothing you do can be considered wrong.
I really enjoy hearing about the players as people. Could next episode be about the players so that we can learn about people who aren't the John Greens?
Everyone looks good in a sweater/shirt combo.
"I can't think of a single word..." --NYT Bestselling Author, John Green
I have a theory for why Bald John Green is always offside (read his autobiography Always Slightly Offside: The Bald John Green Story).
He is too damn fast.
Your kicks are pretty good and initially BJG has great position but he's just SO ATHLETIC that before you can get the kick off, BJG is off to the races. If you were to pass to OJG in that situation I think you'd be fine 10 times out of 10.
John, I've been watching your videos sice 2010 and I've seen every vlogbrothers video...I've never noticed your lisp.
I can totally see John going on ESPN
John? Literally no-one in the entire nerdfighter community has ever noticed your lisp, except for maybe your brother, and he's your brother, so he's kind of exempt because he talks to you more than we do.
It's weird because I've occasionally noticed Hank having a lisp, but not John. I guess if Hank's is worse it makes me less likely to notice John's? Or maybe John's rewording strategy is just extremely successful.
I notice it now, but I find lisps pleasant, so I don't mind at all~
I think the correct pluralization of John Green should be Johns Green rather than John Greens. Just a suggestion
The facial equivalent of semantic satiation. Is that countenanciary satiation?
I've grown accustomed to his face.
Notice how the abbreviations of the teams spell "Wim Don"
Have you noticed that the players that you give a lot of play time are the ones not complaining.
John, I don't know of a single person who has never thought something about their physical appearance. I think we just have to remember that people really don't care that much. I like to think that people probably look at me as much as I look at them, and we probably have the same thoughts about each other.

You didn't point out that it's raining in England! Lol
People who don't edit videos don't quite experience the existential and narcissistic pain of watching yourself repeatedly.
Have you ever played Swindon Town as the Wimbly Womblys? That would be a great match.
Did we not play them in a cup final?
Turns out I was right, look up Wimbly Womblys #39 (v=0w9pc__BRtA)
John, I would love to hear you address the recent SCOTUS campaign finance decision, made on the rationale that money = free speech.

Bald John Green shouldn't take the corners because he could useful in the box as he's tall. Even if his heading is poor he could still cause problems by running around.
Yes, maybe the Golden Child could take them?
John, I'm really disappointed that you never sang Ya Bamba's song. What is happening?
He's gotta score!
go AFC!
Also marina,it was never called the Didlypoopers! Haha sounds just as silly though
Could you do a video about how some TH-cam creators are almost seen like they are celebrities?
Also a video about hateful/hurtful comments and arguments that occur within the comments section of videos.
Yay new video :)
John, I made a comment on an old Vlogbrothers video essentially explaining that you are very attractive (even more so when holding Henry and signing a lullaby) over 200 people have liked my comment… just saying.
Talk about MLS football next. what do you think of the new team New York FC
No lie you are actually a pretty man, John Green. Like damn. You must be a parking ticket because you've got fine written all over you.
Don't be anxious john. Your beautiful (she said, hoping that she didn't sound really really creepy)
John.... Why is Bald John Green - your best header - doing the corner kick rather than K St. Luce?
C'mon, man! Think things through!
Your face is beautiful…that didn't sound awkward at all...
OH GOD MEREDITH WHY DID YOU SUGGEST THAT WORD OH GOD I SAID IT AGAIN
I have a question that I'd love to be answered. Let's say that we live in a hypothetical alternate universe. In this universe, America isn't in debt. What would it be like? Can countries turn profits?
Yeah it's called a surplus and The US had them in the past I'm just not sure when
Fail almost down voted but decided against it let's go afc Wimbledon!
0 chances for the opposing team. I don't think the ball ever made it into our own 18 yard box.
John, it's alright not to get promoted every season.
Am I the only one who is still deaf to the lisp?
The Wimbly Womblys need to work on their passing.
Too symmetrical. (hehehe)
John don't worry what you look like. You have no idea what you look like.
first
