After listening to this heartfelt and heartwarming speech indirectly about brotherhood and love, I looked to the featured video and saw what? Why, the video entitled "My Brother Tried to Kill Me with a Hammer," of course.
so basically i need my sister to become a very eloquent, New York Times bestselling author before I get married. Which should worry me, but my sister becoming a writer or a nobel prize winner or a walrus is more likely than me finding a guy to marry.
its funny how you see people saying who the eff is hank and people answer his brother....its like the people asking the question know hank better than those answering
You're obviously young. Before there was such thing as "n00b", there were only newbies. You know, back before dinosaurs walked the earth, when the internet was fresh and new. So now I'm going to equate you with all those people answering the "Who's Hank?" question with "his brother"... *sigh* Oh, to be young and new in this world! :P
This is literally the sweetest and smartest speech I've ever encountered. Cheers to vlogbrothers, cheers to life! and to Hank & Katherine - still going strong! :)
I came across this video in my very early days of having found nerdfigheria. It makes so more sense now and it's hilarious how John made that speech before vlogbrothers even began - the most lucrative thing Hank has ever stumbled upon. DFTBA.
i was like stopping myself from watching this as long as i can because i thought i might get emotional but knowing john i didn't really know where those expectations came from
You can tell John Green writes well by the quality of his speeches. I would have thought myself an idiot if I didn't think he had at least written SOMETHING and gotten it published (without knowing who he is of course)
I think that was one of the best wedding speeches I have ever heard. Hank, and John, you are so very lucky to have each other. I have never seen a more awesome pair of brothers.
Hanks tenacity and penchant for starting new businesses (seeking new ways to make money?) will indeed be putting Henry and Alice through college. How accurate you were, John!
I don't know what's better, the toast, or the fact that, looking at the date, Hank might have used some of this money to buy his first video camera, for use on Vlogbrothers. Or, better, John might have used some of it, too. :) Also, am I the only one thinking that this might be the primary reason why John hates pennies?
This is absolutely brilliant. My younger brother loves My Little Pony and Monster High almost as much as he loved his money. He reminds me a lot of Hank, now that I think about it; tall and blonde. I might watch this speech again when he gets married.
What a brilliant speech John. Thank you Dad 1.0 SO much for sharing. And what amazing timing. In a week Stuart will be delivering a best man speech at a wedding (pressure on him!), though probably the only thing we owe the groom is a lawn mower and that would not look as cool in a my little pony bag. Oh, my tummy hurts from laughing!
I want a wedding speech similar to the special nature and magnitude this had. I think I'll be lucky if I have a speech at my hypothetical future wedding that gets *only a bit* close to the brilliance of this. DFTBA, John, Hank, and Katherine!
Well, all things considered, whoever uploaded this must be pretty close to John and Hank to have video of Hank's wedding reception. Also, this user's channel description is "dad 1.0" so . . . Papa Green?
What an awesome, awesome speech. Dad 1.0! Thanks for sharing this with all of us! I can only hope someone filled with equally as much awesome gives an equally as awesome speech at my wedding. How cute.
I had to add this to my favourites, and my likes, and my bookmarks in case I ever forget that there are little acts of kindness - like this one - hidden all over the world.
The My Little Pony Lunchbox!! Katharine said it was a wedding gift when I asked about it in the background, but it was even more awesome than I thought! I think I woke my kids up laughing. :)
This speech represents all the pros and cons of having a super smart, witty, novelist brother
Hank both has that brother and is that brother. Those are some good genes!
Wait the parents definitely deserve credit too, as do all of us for supporting their work
TH-cam can be such a beautiful thing
"may they always have money to count, and each other to count on" OMG JOHN 🥺🥺🥺
+
Was this a toast or a roast because damn
+Michael Valentin That's what a good best man speech should be: take a few digs at the groom's expense but always end sweet and sincere.
+Michael Valentin You can't spell toast without (most of) roast!
It's a toast because Hank was toast at the end of it!
@@hxrini.6174 Good one!
I so wish we could see Hank and Katherine's reactions
You can just BARELY hear Hank say "Oh my God" between he himself laughing when John reveals the money.
This was so passive-aggressively adorable!
Lermith Biarreta IKR!!!!
Best wedding speech I've ever heard.

Same here.
same
Me too.
Same.
Me too
It's even more hilarious knowing Hank's hatred of one dollar bills XD
he could have always done it in pennies
Nah, that's what one does to John.
(Actually, I'd love to see someone give John a bunch of money in only pennies :'D)
John is a freaking genius and sweetheart. Gosh, he's just so good with WORDS IDEK

@@vinaylalwani thanks, DFTBA to you too! also i love how you write it with a smile :DFTBA

haha thank you! i just have a very bad, unsuccessful dating "career" :D definitely, thanks again, DFTBA!
+estherrawr Better to strike a lot then make a career out of sitting on the bench.
quick update: my sister has chosen to become a criminal detective.
That can help in it's own way!
@@estherrawr well, she's still gonna write a lot and have some intense stories to tell. But what about you? Met someone worthwhile yet?
This is straight up one of the best wedding toasts I’ve ever heard. He killed it.
Hank was a brony before it was cool xD
I wasn't aware that being a brony was considered cool now.
Pyromanic519 where have you BEEN ? ( clearly not tumble)
Isabelle Partridge I don't have anything against bronies, I just didn't know they were cool.
+
One could argue that all current bronies were bronies before it was cool.
"May you always have money to count and each other to count on", this is why John is bloomin' good
its funny how you see people saying who the eff is hank and people answer his brother....its like the people asking the question know hank better than those answering
It just makes me laugh, because everyone who answers with a real answer you just want to point at and giggle and yell NEWB! :D

Hits differently lately ❤
That last line though omg too beautiful

I've seen this speech so many times over the years and it never stops being the best thing
Another green! I spotted another green! Tuatara lookmat this! 😳
Hank is a small village of shoemakers situated in the Northwest region of Madagascar.
I think you mean John ROASTS Hank.
Hanks tenacity and penchant for starting new businesses (seeking new ways to make money?) will indeed be putting Henry and Alice through college. How accurate you were, John!
For all we know, the reception of this very wedding was were the Brotherhood 2.0 idea was born...
I'm pretty sure that Brotherhood 2.0 was already going on when this happened.
It's weird, he references the vlog in the speech, but I thought Hank was already married to The Katherine when Brotherhood 2.0 began.
i think he references EcoGeek, a blog Hank used to have before Brotherhood 2.0
Yeah B2.0 didn't start for a while after this.
came back here while trying to write a wedding speech and i'm instantly discouraged - this is still some of the best writing i've ever heard
This will go down in history as the best toast ever...
I can't stop watching this. I just keep watching it over and over and over :D
For all his general anxiety and social anxiety, he might be the best speaker I've seen
i wish i had found this so much sooner
Why have I never watched this before? Brilliant.
BEST VIDEO ON TH-cam. PERIOD.
that was some awesome and hilarious speech...xD
I just wish I could have seen Hank and Katherine's faces as they listened to the speech lol
i love it when the suggestion bar finds gold
Hank Green is the name John has given to his diary
HA HA!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DFTBA!
You misspelled roast.
That was the best wedding speech I have ever heard.
I don't know what's better, the toast, or the fact that, looking at the date, Hank might have used some of this money to buy his first video camera, for use on Vlogbrothers. Or, better, John might have used some of it, too. :)
Also, am I the only one thinking that this might be the primary reason why John hates pennies?
I actually cheered and clapped out loud at the end
I love that you can hear Catherine's laugh, it's so distinctive :3
This is absolutely brilliant. My younger brother loves My Little Pony and Monster High almost as much as he loved his money. He reminds me a lot of Hank, now that I think about it; tall and blonde. I might watch this speech again when he gets married.
I love it when they talk about this stuff on their podcast !!
Because of “Delete This”, I can now pick out Katherine’s laugh from the crowd, in addition to Hank’s!
'May they always have money to count, and each other to count on.' Awwww.
Hank’s tiktok brought me here😂😂.
Title should be toasting AND roasting
"May they always gave money to count and eachother to count on"...john you novelist...:,)
This last sentence is so much John Green its adorable 😍
Katherine's laugh is so recognizable it's awesome xD
What a brilliant speech John. Thank you Dad 1.0 SO much for sharing. And what amazing timing. In a week Stuart will be delivering a best man speech at a wedding (pressure on him!), though probably the only thing we owe the groom is a lawn mower and that would not look as cool in a my little pony bag.
Oh, my tummy hurts from laughing!
Best toast ever
This is the best thing ever :-)
I think this is the best thing I've ever seen. Nothing quite like the most passive-agressive roast from your sibling at your wedding
I want a wedding speech similar to the special nature and magnitude this had. I think I'll be lucky if I have a speech at my hypothetical future wedding that gets *only a bit* close to the brilliance of this. DFTBA, John, Hank, and Katherine!
My goal in life is to make my parents as proud as John & Hank must make their parents.
The best thing I've watched this week, and that includes this weeks videos of Hank and John.
Well, all things considered, whoever uploaded this must be pretty close to John and Hank to have video of Hank's wedding reception. Also, this user's channel description is "dad 1.0" so . . . Papa Green?
It is Papa Green
Only John Green could make a speech that's heartfelt, funny and amazing. I don't know anyone else on the planet that could have done that better.
I love that I can pick up Katherine's and Hank's from all the laughs ;)
Awe, that was such a sweet and thoughtful gift! The speech was hilarious. Hank is lucky to have you as a brother =)
John Green should give every wedding speech ever.
Awww this gives me shivers, it's so sweet
This video makes me so happy when I'm feeling down ❤️
Wow John said the word pennies with no reference to how much he hates them.
Came here from the tiktok 🤣
literally the best/#1 non-cringe wedding speech I have ever heard XD
I just saw this one TikTok lmaoo
This is the most hilariously endearing thing i've ever seen
What an awesome, awesome speech. Dad 1.0! Thanks for sharing this with all of us!
I can only hope someone filled with equally as much awesome gives an equally as awesome speech at my wedding.
How cute.
they're so cuttteeee
I fuckin love John Green
Thanks TH-cam algorithm for suggesting this to me in 2021 LOL
john green. the man. the legend.
This was hilarious, and that last bit was so cute! "And each other to count on." I mean, awwwww (:
Absolutely fantastically adorable.
this is the nicest speech EVER! I wish I could've seen hanks reaction to it.
This is the sweetest thing ever.
well, that's cute af
That was so wonderful. 6 mins and 3 seconds of laughter and then that last three seconds made me burst into tears
I had to add this to my favourites, and my likes, and my bookmarks in case I ever forget that there are little acts of kindness - like this one - hidden all over the world.
That was fantastic! I laughed throughout and at the end my heart squeed.
I thought this was going to be really sweet, you know what with John having that beautiful, poetic way with words, but clearly not
I read that as "roasts"
i want some one to make a speach like that at my wedding hank you have a good brother
The My Little Pony Lunchbox!! Katharine said it was a wedding gift when I asked about it in the background, but it was even more awesome than I thought! I think I woke my kids up laughing. :)
effin brilliant.
HANK IS A BRONY CONFIRMED
Also this is the best wedding toast ever.
I wish my brother was as awesome and nice as John...
Awwww...people in the comments who don't get the "Who the eff is Hank?" joke. You guys are adorable.
That was an amazing speech!
That was the sweetest thing.
I want to see Hank's reaction-face!
"Why have you got so many ones?"
"Pranking my lil bro."
"undertandable, have a nice day."
John Green, you are just fantastic.
This speech mades me feel thankful that my brother is also a writer.
Amazing speech. He has a way with words and people.
This is probably the best speech i've ever heard. : )
