I just watched Orin doing Finger Guns and I have to let you know that I did not get my hips involved enough in my re-creation. I just feel like I need to leave this comment to honor the superiority of his moves.
Dear John Green, My name is Denisa Istrate. I read your book "The Fault in Our Stars" and I want to tell you that she left me speechless. Like Hazel, I want to ask you something about the characters. What happened to Isaac? Will Hazel continue to fight and not die? Peter Van Houten will remain an alcoholic, write a continuation of the book "A Supreme Pain"? With your books, you think you've changed the minds of many people. You are highly appreciated in many countries. I live in Romania, and I, together with my friends, will read the books and talk about them. I will read you the books. If what I have written so far is not properly written, I'm sorry because I have not yet been able to speak English correctly. I would be very grateful if you would answer my question Denisa Istrate (14 ani)
It was because I was in plays and band during school, and I liked how it sounded. Our group usually got along fairly well, but we did have minor rough patches. :)
I'm very glad I was a part of the army of people that persuaded you to dance and show us that amazing move. It made me LOL. Thank you. P.S.: I'm a Yanny too!
Love the nature soundtrack and beautiful images at the beginning of the video. Thank you for sharing them. And for the laughs with the hey hi between your camera and phone.
It’s been a rough week. This video made me smile. Congrats to your in-laws on their 50th! That is such a special achievement. My parents celebrate 40 years this Sunday. Enjoy moist Florida!
Hank is extra adorable in this video. Love the way he is sitting. Love all the nature. "There's a dog." "Hellabig fish!" "Hello, bluejay! Aww." Made me smile. And "hello" to The Katherine!
This has got to be my favorite show I have seen in the past 5 years. Hank you look so happy, content and peaceful. WHatever got you to that point, keep doing it. We all could use a little of that peace, pass it out if you can. Please.
Such a wholesome video that throws back to when I first found vlogbrorhers almost a decade ago (holy eff I’m old). Thanks for a little levity in this world
You know, I really like your well-thought videos, all filled with pressing philosophical questions I could never think of about our contemporary world, and I think they will endure the test of time for at least a few years. But today, Hank, today all I needed was a light non-stressful silly piece of media filled with blue jay chants to brighten my day, and you provided it. This video might not be relevant in a few days, but it did good today. So thanks for that.
It was me! I'm planning on it! I'm a very beginner embroiderer, so it may not be any good... but regardless of how it turns out, I'll be sending it to Hank.
It may change if you have good stereo equipment and change some frequencies, you'll find it may crystallize for all of you if you take out some of the higher or lower tones.
fun experiment, if you're a yanny and want to hear laurel: imagine a really bassy voiced guy saying laurel (think Barry White), repeat it several times in your head (or out loud if it helps) listen again. As I understand it, it comes down to the expectation of high or low pitched tones, which you can prime to hear one or the other (your headphones / speakers will also have an impact on this) In principle it should work in both directions, but once I hear laurel I find it much harder to switch back to yanny (which is really strange since I started in the camp of "laurel? what are these people smoking?"
If you strip off all but the high frequencies (> 2000 Hz) it sounds like Yanny If you strip off all but the low frequencies, it sounds like Laurel Then after you listen to the 'stripped' versions, listening to the original literally sounds like two people saying Yanny and Laurel at the same time
I've had a depressing day with a lot on my mind and Hank Green doing finger guns has just made me cry with laughter. Thank you Hank, always the best at just being you.
Haaaaank! You're the only other person I've seen whose legs do that!! I'm also flexible in that one way, except it's the left leg that goes on top. Can you also fold in half from there, like put your elbows on the floor, and your head in your hands? I used to sleep like that. Now that I'm 53, eh, not so much anymore. Thanks to you & John & your families for leading the charge against worldsuck and showing so many ways to do it. Dftba💚
The first time I listened, I heard Yanny. Every time after that: Laurel and only Laurel. The thing is, BOTH words are in that clip, with Yanny in the high frequencies and Laurel in the low. So which one you hear depends on whether you focus on low or high frequencies (and how well you hear in those ranges, of course).
Hank, I had a really rough day today and this video made me laugh so hard. Thanks for helping me end the day with a smile and for being an infectiously great person!
You made my day with the monarch butterfly near the beginning of the video. I love monarch butterflies. I also enjoyed the rest of the video, particularly finger guns.
I heard it as Yammy (yes with "m"s) at first, but as it looped it almost sounded like Laurel faded in. Then it was just Laurel from then on out, though I could still hear how I heard Yammy at first in the high frequencies.
I was about to say the man who uploaded a full dougie video on hanks channel, a video that gives me great joy on my darkest of days, refuses to dance. thank you for the finger guns
Listen to it at different times and places, also mess with the acoustics and angles of the sound. That should make it produce the different words with the same sound bite.
I am way more excited than I should be about the fact Hank and I sit the same way. Though if I'm honest I just don't think I've ever met anyone else who sits that way.
Permanent smile for the duration of this video. I feel like Barbie at the end of Toy Story Two, my cheeks hurt. I also extremely appreciate finger guns, that is now my all time favorite dance move. Thank you for making me smile, it is making my everything a little bit better.
Yaay, shout-out from Scott Manley! :) I can hear both Yanny and Laurel. Listen to it again, and think about it as two people talking, rather than only one. A man with a deep voice, and a woman with a higher voice.
2 things about this video. Firstly, thank you for the Monty Python reference. Always a favourite of mine. And secondly, GET A GORILLA POD! Or at least one of the tiny Manfrotto tripods that fits into your pocket! Please, for the love of your cameras, do it!!!
I just watched Orin doing Finger Guns and I have to let you know that I did not get my hips involved enough in my re-creation. I just feel like I need to leave this comment to honor the superiority of his moves.
Thank you for you update. Now I can properly rewatch your dance and picture what you aimed for.
Might I wonder what happened to the incredible GamesWithHank?
Well, my life is complete now. Thank-you Hank.
#FINGERGUNS
Does Orin also do it with that serious expression? *curious

"Is this good video?" Hank, this is great video.
+

also, have the finger gun memes happened yet? Good.
What is the drama in your trombone section? My fellow trombone players seem to get along just fine!

It was because I was in plays and band during school, and I liked how it sounded. Our group usually got along fairly well, but we did have minor rough patches. :)
I'm very glad I was a part of the army of people that persuaded you to dance and show us that amazing move. It made me LOL. Thank you.
P.S.: I'm a Yanny too!
I heard him say Rafaela and I really hoped it was you!
Niiiiiiiiick, hi!
I'm Team Laurel, but I think it has to do with your high frequency hearing.
YANNY!!!!
At some point, I was able to hear both, Ross! Which is really weird, hahaha!
This video brought me so much joy. Hank basically playing hide and seek with two cameras, the wonderful dancing. I'm now in a fantastic mood.
The adorableness was palpable :) the first minute I was just thinking we are so lucky to have this person and their quirkiness
senior quote: “i wanna be moist. i don’t wanna be THIS moist.” -hank green
Hey! I’m Paulina- thanks for the dance! I did in fact appreciate Hank Green doing finger guns. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
As did I! :D
It was a great pleasure to see Hank looking so happy haha
i laughed way too hard at the "hey, hi" cameras omg. it IS good video
Me too.. and yes Hank, its good video!
+
+
+
+
I, for one, would like to thank you for using the word "moist" in this video. People need to stop being weirded out by the word moist!
YES! I helped get Hank to dance! woo! (I was Nate). Also Dancing is awesome.
I was Rafaela! Yay for making Hank dance! Hahaha!
It was horrible! I hope you've both learned your lesson!
+The Otter Outdoorsman You have an awesome username :)
I can't say I'm sorry... xD
Talking of dance, haven't seen any happy dances on this channel since forever. Not even for the new book or the tv series.
Radhika Somani Yeah, we need more happy dances around here
+
+ I totally agree. Let's have a new project like that
+++

We need the dance as a gif. Can some technologically able nerdfighters get on this ASAP?
Ok!

Thank you so much
Mark Dowdy Thanks a lot!!

Mark Dowdy Thank you for your work
The world needed this un-stressful heart-warming video that ends with Hank dancing.. thank you Hank for going on a vacation
You reminded me of Grover doing “near/far” when you were messing with your phone and camera.

Hank is extra adorable in this video. Love the way he is sitting. Love all the nature. "There's a dog." "Hellabig fish!" "Hello, bluejay! Aww." Made me smile. And "hello" to The Katherine!
Warning: Hank says "moist" twice within the first 20 seconds.
Update: he says it several more times at about 3:00
He is a Cr1t1cal fan
He sure does
"moist CW"
I love how you are just genuinely having fun, even after so many years of vlogging, that's what it is for you: pure unabashed fun :)
i live in Orlando and we're on day 4 (maybe 5, I've started to lose count) of near-constant rain. enjoy the dry montana weather while you have it.
This has got to be my favorite show I have seen in the past 5 years. Hank you look so happy, content and peaceful. WHatever got you to that point, keep doing it. We all could use a little of that peace, pass it out if you can. Please.
`So here is the situation` if you would of grabbed your hair as you said that I would of thought it was John!
Hank, you and your willingness to dance for/with us are _very much_ appreciated! :D
I love the philosophical and informational videos on Vlogbrothers, but I’ve missed the fun/silly ones. I was so happy to see a Question Friday video!
I love Hank talking at the nature in this video. Just saying hello to the world. It's amazing and adorable and I want more of it.
3:07 This reaction was perfect.
I think this is cemented as my favorite question of the day.
Such a wholesome video that throws back to when I first found vlogbrorhers almost a decade ago (holy eff I’m old). Thanks for a little levity in this world
This is as fun as ever, thank you Hank
Hank you seem so genuinely happy in this video! It feels different somehow than your other videos.
You know, I really like your well-thought videos, all filled with pressing philosophical questions I could never think of about our contemporary world, and I think they will endure the test of time for at least a few years. But today, Hank, today all I needed was a light non-stressful silly piece of media filled with blue jay chants to brighten my day, and you provided it. This video might not be relevant in a few days, but it did good today. So thanks for that.
That's a classic Scott Manley. Fly save.
If that person actually embroiders a fancy dingo, I hope we'll get to see it in a future vlogbrothers video.
It was me! I'm planning on it! I'm a very beginner embroiderer, so it may not be any good... but regardless of how it turns out, I'll be sending it to Hank.
Alanna R. Awesome!
Florida: providing maximum moistness
This video is just so happy it has brightened my day more than the brightness of the background keep it up hank
Haha this vlog gave me so much joy! I hope you’re having fun with your family Hank! Thank you so much for your dance moves, please never stop😂
Now I really want a side by side of Orin and Hank both doing finger guns! Nice moves, Hank!
The whole Laurel/ Yanny thing has my family torn apart. We exist in two factions now: those who hear Yanny and the enemy.
Saskia Thompson we're all Laurels because we're old farts.
It may change if you have good stereo equipment and change some frequencies, you'll find it may crystallize for all of you if you take out some of the higher or lower tones.

Saskia Thompson Be cautious of the enemy. Yanny is The One True Answer.
‘I wanna be moist’ Hank 2k18
why not just use the 0?
Welcome to the monsoon Hank.
it’s the gold dress thing all over again
Best blog brothers video in months. Maybe even over a year.
I've had a depressing day with a lot on my mind and Hank Green doing finger guns has just made me cry with laughter. Thank you Hank, always the best at just being you.
Thank you for being silly with us. Your contributions to the silliness of the world are appreciated and aleays of a consistent caliber.
Haaaaank! You're the only other person I've seen whose legs do that!! I'm also flexible in that one way, except it's the left leg that goes on top.

I LOVE TO SEE HANK DANCE
Kirby Burgess +++
All of your latest videos have been so random and I LOVE IT
This feels old-school vlogbrothers just with better video and sound quality - I very much enjoy that! :D
The first time I listened, I heard Yanny. Every time after that: Laurel and only Laurel. The thing is, BOTH words are in that clip, with Yanny in the high frequencies and Laurel in the low. So which one you hear depends on whether you focus on low or high frequencies (and how well you hear in those ranges, of course).
This is my favorite Hank video ever. SUCH GOOD VIDEO
Hank, everything about this video is spectacular
Hank, I had a really rough day today and this video made me laugh so hard. Thanks for helping me end the day with a smile and for being an infectiously great person!
Thank you for making me smile on a day when I'm under the weather and needed a smile.
That Monty Python reference though🤣😂🙌
Also I hear yanny too
After a stressful day, seeing you dance makes everything better thanks, Hank.
I reccomended the Q & A and I'm so happy!
Every video hank has made in the last week has been excellent video.
The look of pure concentration on Hank's face when he's dancing is what I strive towards.
I was just in Florida as well, and the storm on Monday was pretty crazy.
While "finger guns" is a GREAT baby dance move I have to say my favorite is the "bounce and head nod, occasionally fall down" - such a classic!
That recreation of your baby's dance was incredibly cute. Thank you for that
Y'all never stop making me happy
This is my favorite Hank video
Question Fridays make me so happy you have no idea. And yes, Hank, I enjoyed your dancing.
Oooh! Hank in Florida. Yeah, it's been crazy rainy here for like a week and a half. Welcome back!
You made my day with the monarch butterfly near the beginning of the video. I love monarch butterflies. I also enjoyed the rest of the video, particularly finger guns.
This community makes me so happy. Have a nice day yall!
was that THE Scott Manley?
We're twitter mutuals :-)
Stumble Puppy I hope so let’s bombard Scott with questions about it
yea
more dance videos! both Hank and John!
I heard it as Yammy (yes with "m"s) at first, but as it looped it almost sounded like Laurel faded in. Then it was just Laurel from then on out, though I could still hear how I heard Yammy at first in the high frequencies.
Nerdfighteria has a new dance!
Ugh this feels so OG TH-cam. Makes me so happy.
Woo, I can see the camera gear. I love getting to see the camera gear.
God, I love this community so much
OMG! Did you notice your expressions while doing dance....
Hank Rocks 🤘🤘😂
Hank, your videos always make me smile. Thank you
Thanks for that bit of joy. Hank Green doing finger guns is an absolute delight. 😁
I was about to say the man who uploaded a full dougie video on hanks channel, a video that gives me great joy on my darkest of days, refuses to dance. thank you for the finger guns
You guys used to dance/happy dance all the time... we ALL miss it.
I heard Laurel at first and now I only hear Yanny. Now I kind of want to hear Laurel again.
Listen to it at different times and places, also mess with the acoustics and angles of the sound. That should make it produce the different words with the same sound bite.
It's one part thought process one part acoustics
I find that if the volume is low, I hear yanny, and if the volume is loud I hear laurel. Have a play with the volume, maybe walk away from the source?
I absolutly love those kinds of videos. And can we please get a gif of Hank doing the Finger-Gun-Dance? Please?
Wow the sky looks pretty moist over there
THE HEY HI HEY HI HEY HI PART WAS SO CUTE.
HANK YOU'RE PRECIOUS.
This video was very joyful and I’m glad it exists.
I am way more excited than I should be about the fact Hank and I sit the same way. Though if I'm honest I just don't think I've ever met anyone else who sits that way.
That really is the best dance move thank you very much
what a good dance Hank! and your son is a great choreographer ^^
So um... am I the only one who can hear both yanny and laurel?
No me too.
Well I heard “Yerry” so...
I can do a Gestalt shift and go back and forth between hearing each one, but never both simultaneously, which I have heard some people say.
I can hear both but it's kind of difficult - I usually just hear them simultaneously mashed together and not one in particular
I typically hear yanny, but I have heard laurel twice now. I can’t control it, though.
My brain jumped when I heard him say Scott Manley
Rekless Echo yes
TIL Scott is a nerd fighter
Permanent smile for the duration of this video. I feel like Barbie at the end of Toy Story Two, my cheeks hurt.
I also extremely appreciate finger guns, that is now my all time favorite dance move.
Thank you for making me smile, it is making my everything a little bit better.
I want Hank Green doing Finger Guns with Orin in a video. Thank you Nerdfighteria for this magical blessing.
I love your shirt!!!
I would also like to see Orin's version of the finger gun dance!
Happy Hank is definitely in my top 5 Hanks. Possibly even top 1.
Yaay, shout-out from Scott Manley! :)
I can hear both Yanny and Laurel. Listen to it again, and think about it as two people talking, rather than only one. A man with a deep voice, and a woman with a higher voice.
That dancing is ON POINT! I see a future there Hank, I see a future.
We do appreciate it. We really do. Damn. does this look sarcastic without an exclamation point? This is what keeps me up at night.
Hank we sit the same!!!! (Can you put the bottom leg on top of the other leg), great finger guns!
3:18 yes! I love this less-opinions approach!
I actually think 1:37 is the best part of the video!!!...
But the dance was also super cute!!
2 things about this video. Firstly, thank you for the Monty Python reference. Always a favourite of mine. And secondly, GET A GORILLA POD! Or at least one of the tiny Manfrotto tripods that fits into your pocket! Please, for the love of your cameras, do it!!!
