Other punishment idea: John has to do an entire video directed by his son Henry. He must do, say and wear whatever Henry wants, unless it's impossible, harmful, unethical, much too expensive, violates the four-minutes rule, or requires more than two hours of preparation. In particular, the following objections are not allowed: - That's ridiculous - That's stupid - That will taste awful - I will not wear this, I'm a grown-up man - I can't sing - Dinosaurs and dragons never actually coexisted, and certainly never fought any bad guys. - Who told you about iambic pentameters? Do you even know what this is? Edit: Negotiations, bribery and referring to parental authority are not allowed either. So, no "You get a chocolate bar if we forget about the Spongebob thing" or "If I can hop on _two_ legs you can stay up an hour more tonight".
So ***** got a little confused about who owed what punishments and then we went a little overboard and with the help of a team of Nerdfighting researchers rooted out the cause and effect of EVERY SINGLE PUNISHMENT ON VLOGBROTHERS SINCE JANUARY OF 2007!
So John would have to talk about science, music, and/or the environment, and Hank would have to talk about english, history, and/or art? Or they could both cheat just by talking about current events. Lol
Vlogbrothers punishment videos are probably my favorite videos ever. I'm pretty sure I cried from laughter with the chin waxing and slobber carrots. -Rachel
I suggested this before, but here goes. John must grow a Movember beard on the left side of his face. Hank, likewise on the right side. At the end of the month, we would put the two halves together to make a complete vlogbrother beard.
So far this is my favorite. Of course the fact that I'm knee-deep in a Harry Potter reread right now might have something to do with it. JOHN DO THIS ONE.
PUNISHMENTS: Each of you invite your wives to do your Tuesday and Friday blogs, and they must share with all of nerdfighteria some amusing anecdotes about your behaviors OFF CAMERA!
Make John see TFIOS as many times as his local theater has it playing, and during each movie he has to apologize to the entire theater during all the sad parts. Do this until there are no more showings, or he is kicked out.
1. fantastic idea 2. I think that a better idea is that: John has to re-enact a scene from TFiOS with Bill Gates. Bill Gates being Gus, and John being Hazel.
John paint yourself green and then go out into your local town and take a picture/selfie with every green thing you find within a time limit. (Hank can join in as a competition-like dual challenge)
I know I'm late but I have been going through all the vlog brothers videos as a new nerdfighter :) I think it is hilarious that they intentionally misspelled communication in the rules at the beginning of this video to match the intro spelling error in Brotherhood 2.0 :) I love this channel!
What a great trip down memory lane! very nostalgic for the good old days on this channel. John, you have to sign your name 150,000 times again. EDIT: you have to sign your name 2,000 times per day for a week (7 days) 150,000 would be ridiculous for your current busy schedule
John: read one of the worst books you've ever read before- then reflect--- Hank: (since John has had more food punishments) take all the condiments in your fridge and make a soup and eat it.
John should have to do his "Giant Squid of Anger" impression down every isle in Wal-Mart, non-stop. It won't take fifteen hours like Hank's trip to Target, but should be fairly embarrassing. Also, we would need a nerdfighter there to verify that he went down every isle including Garden center. Besides, he'd need a cameraman.
I think John's punishment should be having to purchase everything for a day with pennies. Like go to through the agony of counting all the pennies and then do his weekly shop with the pennies or something I dunno
I appreciate that you took the time to teach all the new nerdfighters about brotherhood 2.0. Kudos. Also, my inner nerd cannot choose which it prefers - video or spreadsheet.
John, for his punishment, should make a video acting as Hanks personal paparazzi member, all while the two take a casual stroll around the neighborhood.
John has to dress up like Gilderoy Lockhart, introduce himself to strangers on the street as Gilderoy Lockhart (Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary member of the Dark Force Defense League, and five times winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award) and insist on giving his autograph to everyone.
Hi Hank, Just to say I really loved this video. I've been watching since April 2008, and this was a very nice nostalgia trip for me. Although it got me thinking about something about older vlogbrothers that I think you & John should think about. I'm one of the people who normally doesn't comment very often, but you recently said that you value comments because they are part of your creative feedback, so I thought I'd offer this view. Punishment videos are ones where the other brother is going to have to mention what the other said and discussed, and as far as I can see there hasn't been that much of that lately. Yes, there's been lots of videos where you've congratulated each other on things, as well you should and I've been right there with you, but I think it would be great to see more colaberaiton in the vlogbrothers, like bouncing back and forth and discussing things in the way you did more often in earlier years. I realise that I might sound like a bit of an old fogey waving my newspaper, whining "go back to doing the old thing", but I really don't want that. I don't want a repeat of the older style of vlogbrothers videos, but I would like to see more discussions in other forms. Recent examples have been things like when you did Fahrenheit 451 as the NFBC, and when you were discussing what is humanities greatest quality (is it curiosity, collaberation etc). Id like to see more of this, because I think the channel could just turn into two guys vlogging, rather than what makes it unique and special, two brothers vlogging. I really hope what I'm saying is helpful, and not just whiney. I really love your channel, and I don't dislike what you've been doing recently. It's just a thought on the channel in general. So please don't take this as a knock down, but as a suggestion.
I think John should reenact the scene in the airport that your dad described, in which he dropped his suitcase, lay on the ground, and said, "It's just too much. I can't take it anymore."
I will propose a punishment for John: In iambic feet like Shakespeare must he speak, And five, not more, not less, for ev'ry line. For one entire vid͜eo , that's the deal. You earthlings like pentameters, I think and iambic ones are not that hard to make. The Bard wrote countless plays in iambic feet, and countless others follow-ed his lead. So, John, accept this punishment! (Or don't.)
Here's a punishment idea: The John has to read his favorite fan fiction of Looking for Alaska. Here are some rules: -It must be raunchy. -No spoilers -Every time John laughs, he must chug Strawberry Hill for three seconds. -Every time John pauses for any non-respiratory reason he must take a sip of a mixture of equal parts milk and vodka. -It must be in one take. -Afterwards, John must take a breathalyzer test. -This will be exempt from the four minute rule. Punishments should be exempt from that rule as it eliminates some hilarious methods of self-humiliation. *Edit* -This should be done on January 10 *Edit* -Since he missed 1/10/15, he can do it on any day, but it still needs to be done.
That's much better than my idea... I thought John should have to watch all Vlogbrothers videos three times in a row while only breaking once for a five minute bathroom break.
I've been watching vlogbrothers sporadically for a few years, but only started watching consistently about six months ago. This video convinced me that I am not up to par with nerdfighter history, so I am watching every vlogbrothers video ever made, in order. I'm currently in August of Brotherhood 2.0. You guys are awesome (in your pants)
I don't know what the jellybean challenge is, it that where you have to guess Bertie Bott's flavors blindfolded? Also, I think the yeti should read to John.
I forgot about quite a few of these punishments, but as soon as the video appeared on the screen I remembered immediately and I couldn't stop cringing/smiling in memory of vlogbrothers past. I love Nerdfighteria :)
Ooh, ooh! Ideas! John has to spend a day doing anything Henry tells him (within reason), record all of it, and upload a montage of the best moments! I'm sure Henry could come up with some very silly things for his dad...
This is the video I might direct new Nerdfighters to, in order to introduce them to the community. Because this is basically seven years of videos of four minutes and it was BEAUTIFUL.
Punishment idea: One video each with no cuts. One continuous take without interruption. They each need to be more than 3 minutes, but still less than 4, and no pauses longer than half a second.
Or a punishment outside the vlogbrothers forum... An episode each of Crash Course and SciShow about the science of punishment. Crash Course about the psychology, SciShow about the neurotransmitters involved.
it wasn't the most original idea, admittedly, but i felt bad about my other ideas because they were all painful how about henna in a visible spot? sightly pornographic henna?
John must rent a lime green or other brightly colored suit and top hat. Then he must travel to at least 4 public locations in one day while wearing this suit/hat. He must remain in two of these locations for 15 minutes and the other 2 for at least 30 minutes. He is not allowed to tell anyone why he is wearing suit/top hat and must act as if this ensemble is completely normal apparel for him.
Okay so one time my boyfriend and his two roommates and I went to a movie theatre and they all wore fake mustaches and talked in weird accents PLEASE DO THIS. Random public place, colorful suit, fake mustache, and weird accent.
French the llama!!! This only has 25 views? Or so it says... Hank!!! I love you. You inspire my life. Okay thank you. You probably won't see this. But yeah
157 views. TH-cam has been acting up again, probably not showing this video to everyone in their feeds. Also, I know for sure they read a lot of their comments, especially the early ones.
I hope he does see it. I really want Hank to see your use of "French the llama" and convince him that it is going to be a thing. Do it for John! And then punish John!
Many, many issues with this. Most of them being drive-through places have almost a scale in front of the window. It's activated by the weight of a car/motorcycle. Few hundred pounds. Another issue. They refuse to give someone without a car food through the window.
Oh my goodness, thanks for reminding me of all these, I'm going to go back and watch them all again! Especially Hank-rolling and the Target one, those are my favourites.
NO. John does Chemistry. (harder than psych) Hank does...History. And NO PREPARATION; they must go on the show and talk about the topic that was listed for the week.
Aw, even though it was about punishments it was like a walk down memory lane! The Peeps! John's fitness video! The embarrassing high school picture reenactments! I feel like I'm all fresh and new to youtube again... :)
Punishment for John: telling your high school prank story in anapestic tetrameter (ala dr seuess) while wearing a "i love unicorns" shirt. Punishment for Hank: doing the ministry of silly walks walk across Missoula for five hours dressed up like Ash from the first season of Pokemon.
Literally the best vlogbrothers video ever!!! I'm cracking up here in Europe for vacation. And I said to my sister who asked why I was laughing I was watching a vlogbrothers video. John or Hank? I replied hank. And she replied, " Who the hell is Hank?" Yes!!!
I think as John's punishment, he should have to put on pink taffeta nylons and a nerdfighteria tee shirt and fill the nylons with warm tuna fish, and go out into any public grassy area at precisely midnight, sit in the cool dewy lawn and softly say, "Here kitty, kitty, kitty" for 4 minutes and 1 second. Funny hat optional. LOL cat sign is mandatory.
John should have to find a Dave Green and inform him about his past at Hogwarts and everything else about himself from YourPants, Tumblr and various TH-cam comments.
There is an Dave Green in astrophysics. Here is his homepage: www.mrao.cam.ac.uk/~dag/. Out of the Dave Greens I can find, he is the most vlogbrotherish
Glad we got to the bottom of that. 15 hours in Target was probably the first vlogbrothers video I ever saw (or at least it was the one that made me stay)
A Punishment Idea: Dress up wearing actual pizza to truly become Pizza John then walk around town introducing yourself as "Pizza John, New York Times Best Selling Author". I just merged to other punishments I saw in the comments :p
John can only talk how Shakespere's noble characters would talk (extremely flowery language that no one understands in iambic pentametre) for a whole day. At the end of the video, John must discuss, still in Shakespearean, how much the English language has changed in these past centuries.
I'm not sure if this is really a punishment but, John should let his son write a short story and publish it in the next book he writes. Idk, I just sounds fun
or ... Let Henry write the story, complete with picture, ON John across his chest, back, arms, whatever). We do it to "problem" kids at Summer camp, its called Postcarding.
Johns punishment: Hank should write a quiz for John with 10 questions. John should pick 10 edible things he likes and 10 things he hates. Then he's gonna answer the quiz and for every wrong answer he has to put 1 of the gross things into the blender and for every correct answer he has to put one of the things he likes into the blender and when all the questions is answered he has to blend all the ingredients and drink/eat it.
Brandon OFTO I like the concept of this one, but I don't think one building will cut it. I want to see John do a thoughts from places video in like, Chicago or someplace, but ONLY doing it from the tops of skyscrapers.
I've got a good punishment you could both do. Do a two part play of a story the nerd fighters come up with. You must do your best dressing up as whatever we tell you to. The story would me made up with a vote on what genre (sci first, romance, horror, etc.) and then for specifics have another vote for what it should be about (saving a princess, world domination, finding ultimate treasure...) The only things you guys are tasked with doing is figuring out who will be the hero and who will be the villain, and creating this short 4-8 minute play. Each part of the play would be released on the day you must do your punishments. My calculations show me this could be done in at least a week up to three weeks. You should consider it if this gets any agreeing fans.
Now let's not be so hasty, it's not like he killed anyone. Don't you think that's a little harsh? And way too funny? He might have serious mental repercussions for years to come if we made him do that.
I think it would be over-stepping some lines if we actually made him use the pennies. It would be funny to watch his reaction but it would be cruel to the store clerk(s).
John has to spend an entire day wandering around and introducing himself to people as "John Green, New York Times Best Selling Author"
Best one, better than my suggestion!
A little evil, but doable!
YEAS I LIKESIES U
I LIKE THIS ONE
Yesss!
Other punishment idea: John has to do an entire video directed by his son Henry. He must do, say and wear whatever Henry wants, unless it's impossible, harmful, unethical, much too expensive, violates the four-minutes rule, or requires more than two hours of preparation. In particular, the following objections are not allowed:
- That's ridiculous
- That's stupid
- That will taste awful
- I will not wear this, I'm a grown-up man
- I can't sing
- Dinosaurs and dragons never actually coexisted, and certainly never fought any bad guys.
- Who told you about iambic pentameters? Do you even know what this is?
Edit: Negotiations, bribery and referring to parental authority are not allowed either. So, no "You get a chocolate bar if we forget about the Spongebob thing" or "If I can hop on _two_ legs you can stay up an hour more tonight".
Yes Please John!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, this is the best, John you must do it!!
So much yes. Please :)
This is amazing!!!!!
YES!!
So ***** got a little confused about who owed what punishments and then we went a little overboard and with the help of a team of Nerdfighting researchers rooted out the cause and effect of EVERY SINGLE PUNISHMENT ON VLOGBROTHERS SINCE JANUARY OF 2007!
Finally!!! Two years in the making.
this video is 4:01 long...does that mean hank has to do a punishment?
ztoigo Hank explained the 4:01 exception in this video.
i know, but he still had to do a punishment then...and now the video is 3:59. so. i guess no punishment.
There is still a punishment from 2012.
John should do a cover of Lorde's Royals.
This needs to happen
I second this motion
While dressed as Lorde (wig included)
I think he might like that a bit too much..
And lipstick too!
John should have conversations with random people only being able to speak quotes from his books.
That would be fantastic.
This needs to happen!
Rashiuable Exactly!
DOOWEEDOOOOCTOR!!!! That's what I'm saying!!
Great idea!
Punishment idea: Hank do a John video, John do a Hank video.
They should also have to do an acceptable impersonation of the other during the whole video, or suffer further consequences.
fartzinwind YES!
OMG Dave is a nerdfighter! Huge fan of your work! Keep it up Boyinaband
Addendum:
You must get a Swedish guy to produce it.
So John would have to talk about science, music, and/or the environment, and Hank would have to talk about english, history, and/or art? Or they could both cheat just by talking about current events. Lol
Vlogbrothers punishment videos are probably my favorite videos ever. I'm pretty sure I cried from laughter with the chin waxing and slobber carrots.
-Rachel
You're a nerdfighter?! That's so awesome
When I'm feeling down I watch Hank sing World Wide Web Girl. Cheers me up every time.
It really shock me too
Rachel commenting on a vlogbrothers video? Like a normal viewer? I'm confused D:
OMG. This past week I've discovered that Rachel likes EatyourKimchi as well as the vlogbrothers. This is amazing
I suggested this before, but here goes. John must grow a Movember beard on the left side of his face. Hank, likewise on the right side. At the end of the month, we would put the two halves together to make a complete vlogbrother beard.
This one is my favorite.
I hope they do this one!
I laughed too hard at this :'D
yess
this... this is pure genius!
John must make a Quidditch tutorial video with whatever broom he has around the house.
So far this is my favorite. Of course the fact that I'm knee-deep in a Harry Potter reread right now might have something to do with it. JOHN DO THIS ONE.
@Aeryn Thank you! My friend and I went over a few, and this one seemed the best.
Aeryn Harman im rereading too! im about to start half blood prince
That's just a cool idea though, not really a punishment.
Hahah
John has to put on a 100% serious Sing-A-Ma-Jig concert for actual people in public.
That is genius!!!!
Many actual people.
This is a great idea. But John may not see it as a punishment :)
YAS
We shouldn't punish the public.
DFTBE!
Don't forget to be egg
What if john had to reenact one of your videos?
Stop yolking around, that was an eggtremely bad joke.
HOW TO BASIC I LOVE YOU PLEASE TEACH ME HOW TO PROPERLY COOK BREAKFAST SAUSAGE I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED
So you where losing subs so you decided to start commenting on every popular youtubers videos so you can get your subs up more
How not to get your plane nuked by AA Russian missiles
I think this is one of those essential videos people have to watch to understand the Vlogbrothers.
John should let Henry do his makeup
That's a very good idea!!
And perhaps take a picture of the result and make that his avatar on all of his social media sites for a week.
I second this punishment
Yes. This. Make this happen.
Yes.
PUNISHMENTS: Each of you invite your wives to do your Tuesday and Friday blogs, and they must share with all of nerdfighteria some amusing anecdotes about your behaviors OFF CAMERA!
A YETI SIGHTING ON THE VLOGBROTHERS!! THAT IS UNHEARD OF!!!
Owen K That's why I suggested it! Though they could show up in disguise.
Bonus: John and Hank don't see it until after it's uploaded.
Brilliant!
I really want to see this happen.
John must go around town announcing himself as Dave Green, John Green's Lesser Known Brother
Hahah yes
Perf
He should announce himself as HANK's lesser known brother XD "Who the eff is Hank?"
omg this one. this one is the winner.
I support this.
Make John see TFIOS as many times as his local theater has it playing, and during each movie he has to apologize to the entire theater during all the sad parts. Do this until there are no more showings, or he is kicked out.
Yes!!
Yesssssss
Hank, please make this happen.
1. fantastic idea
2. I think that a better idea is that: John has to re-enact a scene from TFiOS with Bill Gates. Bill Gates being Gus, and John being Hazel.
Hope Snyder Hahaha I can't see Bill Gates being up for something like that
John paint yourself green and then go out into your local town and take a picture/selfie with every green thing you find within a time limit. (Hank can join in as a competition-like dual challenge)
Omg this should be one of their challenges! And who ever takes the most picture wins! And the looser gets another punishment
YES
John GREEN yasssssss!!!!!
John must go around town dressed as Gandalf making sure none pass.
That actually sounds more fun than humiliating.
BEST. IDEA. EVER.
John must go around town dressed as a balrog making sure none pass.
Totally yes
Take an ice bath while reading aloud a passage from twilight.
(50 Shades of Grey??)
I thought that at first but that would be too cruel
***** Way too cruel.
***** And besides he's already bashed Twilight before anyway, so it makes sense
John likes twilight
John should definitely play out every key moment of the TFiOS movie with him playing Hazel and the dog playing Augustus.
Omg this one is perfect!! Please do this one?
Please please please please please!!! This would be brilliant (but with no spoilers for people who don't know the story yet)
It's not educational and it would be longer than 4:00-4:01 minutes
I know I'm late but I have been going through all the vlog brothers videos as a new nerdfighter :) I think it is hilarious that they intentionally misspelled communication in the rules at the beginning of this video to match the intro spelling error in Brotherhood 2.0 :) I love this channel!
What a great trip down memory lane! very nostalgic for the good old days on this channel.
John, you have to sign your name 150,000 times again.
EDIT: you have to sign your name 2,000 times per day for a week (7 days)
150,000 would be ridiculous for your current busy schedule
You don't need to do it on 150,000 different sheets of paper like last time though, you can have multiple pages
He had to have hand therapy because of that though... Maybe not a good idea
How about half as many times with his non-dominant hand? (They'll have to be recognizable signatures.)
That is still horrible
keep it up laura, i'll make it a million
also he could do it in a year instead of in like 74 days like last time, that should help
John: read one of the worst books you've ever read before- then reflect---
Hank: (since John has had more food punishments) take all the condiments in your fridge and make a soup and eat it.
John should have to do his "Giant Squid of Anger" impression down every isle in Wal-Mart, non-stop. It won't take fifteen hours like Hank's trip to Target, but should be fairly embarrassing. Also, we would need a nerdfighter there to verify that he went down every isle including Garden center. Besides, he'd need a cameraman.
I think John's punishment should be having to purchase everything for a day with pennies. Like go to through the agony of counting all the pennies and then do his weekly shop with the pennies or something I dunno
You are a freaking genius!
This gets my vote!
YES!
While hilarious and hell inducing for John, most stores won't allow that and will deny him service.
Nothing would make John feel more punished than this XD have him go grocery shopping and pay for everything in pennies!
I appreciate that you took the time to teach all the new nerdfighters about brotherhood 2.0. Kudos.
Also, my inner nerd cannot choose which it prefers - video or spreadsheet.
well you got the best of both worlds here, a video, about a spreadsheet, which is also about videos.
John, for his punishment, should make a video acting as Hanks personal paparazzi member, all while the two take a casual stroll around the neighborhood.
John has to dress up like Gilderoy Lockhart, introduce himself to strangers on the street as Gilderoy Lockhart (Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary member of the Dark Force Defense League, and five times winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award) and insist on giving his autograph to everyone.
Hi Hank,

I really hope what I'm saying is helpful, and not just whiney. I really love your channel, and I don't dislike what you've been doing recently. It's just a thought on the channel in general. So please don't take this as a knock down, but as a suggestion.
I think John should reenact the scene in the airport that your dad described, in which he dropped his suitcase, lay on the ground, and said, "It's just too much. I can't take it anymore."
John should have to make a four minute video about the useful aspects of the penny.
Yay! Another penny punishment I can get behind!
I honestly cannot imagine something John would hate more.
Same, though I feel like he'd cop out and it would just be a one or two second video where he says "NOTHING" and then it ends.
You're too cruel.
ihathtelekinesis Mwahahahahahhahahahahah
I will propose a punishment for John:
In iambic feet like Shakespeare must he speak,
And five, not more, not less, for ev'ry line.
For one entire vid͜eo , that's the deal.
You earthlings like pentameters, I think
and iambic ones are not that hard to make.
The Bard wrote countless plays in iambic feet,
and countless others follow-ed his lead.
So, John, accept this punishment! (Or don't.)
John would enjoy that a little bit too much.
that woudlnt be a punishment for john he's not supposed to be happy and excited about it
***** I'm not a native speaker.
***** He's from Betelgeuse. Do you know how far away that place is?
Please, no. Iambic pentameter is _terrible_. And, besides, if you want the punishment to be really epic, it has to be in dactylic hexameter.
Here's a punishment idea: The John has to read his favorite fan fiction of Looking for Alaska. Here are some rules:
-It must be raunchy.
-No spoilers
-Every time John laughs, he must chug Strawberry Hill for three seconds.
-Every time John pauses for any non-respiratory reason he must take a sip of a mixture of equal parts milk and vodka.
-It must be in one take.
-Afterwards, John must take a breathalyzer test.
-This will be exempt from the four minute rule. Punishments should be exempt from that rule as it eliminates some hilarious methods of self-humiliation.
*Edit*
-This should be done on January 10
*Edit*
-Since he missed 1/10/15, he can do it on any day, but it still needs to be done.
***** Fine. Here's an alternative punishment: John has to admit that The Fault in our Stars is riddled with cliches.
Not letting him go easy, huh?
jeeze man
nerdfighterable Nope. If he can wax his leg he can suffer the emotional trauma of either of my proposed punishments
HAHA YES
Got into 3 different stores and make a purchase entirely in pennies in each.
While I love the idea of making him use pennies, I feel like that's just as much a punishment for the people working at the stores.
Caitlin W Maybe make John find 100 uses for pennies then? Although I think that he may have already done that in a video of his own volition...
Caitlin W Pay exact change for a week or two?
YESS!!!!
John wears a mermaid fin and flops around in a tub in Bed, Bath, and Beyond for 2 hours, and asking passersby to help him back into the ocean.
OMG yes that would be hilarious!
THIS MUST HAPPEN!!!!!!
YES PLEASE
That's much better than my idea... I thought John should have to watch all Vlogbrothers videos three times in a row while only breaking once for a five minute bathroom break.
YESSSSS THIS SHOULD/ HOPEFULLY WILL HAPPEN. JOHN GET YOUR FLIPPERS!!!!
I've been watching vlogbrothers sporadically for a few years, but only started watching consistently about six months ago. This video convinced me that I am not up to par with nerdfighter history, so I am watching every vlogbrothers video ever made, in order. I'm currently in August of Brotherhood 2.0. You guys are awesome (in your pants)
PUNISHMENT FOR JOHN: John must purchase the materials and pattern, and sew a dress for the yeti.
YES
double yes yes
Isn't this more of a punishment for the Yeti than for John?
***** The 'Yeti' is John's spouse.
***** You must be new here...
John should read a TFIOS fanfic out loud in front of the Yeti and Hank should have to complete the jelly bean challenge.
I don't know what the jellybean challenge is, it that where you have to guess Bertie Bott's flavors blindfolded? Also, I think the yeti should read to John.
Authors don't usually read fanfic 'cause of liability issues: www.themarysue.com/writers-fanfiction/
Talia Fluff but TFiOS is not a series so it shouldn't be a problem
Atom Eve you're right, didn't think of that. I was half asleep when I commented (not my best move)
I forgot about quite a few of these punishments, but as soon as the video appeared on the screen I remembered immediately and I couldn't stop cringing/smiling in memory of vlogbrothers past. I love Nerdfighteria :)
Ooh, ooh! Ideas! John has to spend a day doing anything Henry tells him (within reason), record all of it, and upload a montage of the best moments! I'm sure Henry could come up with some very silly things for his dad...
Thank you for clearing it all up! I was so confused the other day!
Make John cosplay as a teen girl in a theater watching Tfios
*Stereotypical teenage girl. That'd be hilarious although what does cosplay mean?
This is just perfect. And I'm sure it'd make some random nerdfighters very happy.
R. Darling its basically wearing a costume and acting like the character you have dressed up as.
Cos- costume
Play- role play
THIS ONE IS THE BEST ONE.
This. I like this.
The tiny chickens must have stolen my imagination, because all I can think is "Maybe John should do his own makeup tutorial to compete with Hank's."
BTW, what's it called when the tiny chickens invade your throat instead of your sinus cavities?
JOHN PUNISHMENT: henry does john's makeup and after that, john goes to a public area and teaches random strangers how to happy dance.
YES. JUST YES!!!! :D
I like this. I like this a lot.
Yesss
OMG love it!!!!
Punishment:
They have to write a love song to each other.
Yessss
make sure it's romantic, not brotherly love
YESSSSSSSS
John sits through ten hour loop of hank-roll
Evil one: John has to make direct eye contact with as many strangers as possible when he goes shopping
This is the video I might direct new Nerdfighters to, in order to introduce them to the community. Because this is basically seven years of videos of four minutes and it was BEAUTIFUL.
John must re-read all of the death scenes in harry potter that really effected him.
John has to dress up like a cartoon character of Henry's choosing and go to a book store and say hello to at least ten people.
Punishment idea:
One video each with no cuts. One continuous take without interruption. They each need to be more than 3 minutes, but still less than 4, and no pauses longer than half a second.
Just replying to let you know that I love this idea.
Good one!!!
Or a punishment outside the vlogbrothers forum...
An episode each of Crash Course and SciShow about the science of punishment. Crash Course about the psychology, SciShow about the neurotransmitters involved.
Punishment idea for John: Since he is finally in control of his puff levels
again, how about a nice new hair colour? I am suggesting green
I am pretty sure in one of their earlier videos his wife vetoed green hair.
Purple.
it wasn't the most original idea, admittedly, but i felt bad about my other ideas because they were all painful
how about henna in a visible spot? sightly pornographic henna?
Dajara I feel like the Yeti would also veto that...
YES!! OMG THIS!
Jon has to re-inact a scene from TFIOS, where he plays every character.
John must rent a lime green or other brightly colored suit and top hat. Then he must travel to at least 4 public locations in one day while wearing this suit/hat. He must remain in two of these locations for 15 minutes and the other 2 for at least 30 minutes. He is not allowed to tell anyone why he is wearing suit/top hat and must act as if this ensemble is completely normal apparel for him.
Also maybe throw in a fake mustache
Okay so one time my boyfriend and his two roommates and I went to a movie theatre and they all wore fake mustaches and talked in weird accents PLEASE DO THIS. Random public place, colorful suit, fake mustache, and weird accent.
Punishment: John must choose one of the previous punishments (performed by either John OR Hank) and redo it.
I say that Hank gets to choose one of the past punishments for John or Hank and then John must redo it
My vote is for a johnroll
YES I love that idea.
French the llama!!! This only has 25 views? Or so it says... Hank!!! I love you. You inspire my life. Okay thank you. You probably won't see this. But yeah
157 views. TH-cam has been acting up again, probably not showing this video to everyone in their feeds.
Also, I know for sure they read a lot of their comments, especially the early ones.
I hope he does see it. I really want Hank to see your use of "French the llama" and convince him that it is going to be a thing. Do it for John! And then punish John!
John, dramatically reenact a passage from Looking For Alaska in your closest shopping mall while wearing something Hank deems inappropriate
John must order fast food through a drive-thru window... with an "invisible car".
Dressed as a unicorn..
Or his car is a cardboard box with Nascar style advertisements.
Or in/on one of those toy cars meant for small children to 'drive'. And when he gets to the counter, he pays only in pennies.
Many, many issues with this. Most of them being drive-through places have almost a scale in front of the window. It's activated by the weight of a car/motorcycle. Few hundred pounds. Another issue. They refuse to give someone without a car food through the window.
we need a playlist of every video with a punishment in it
I'm on it!
But there is one in the description of this video
Hank put a link to one in the description and at the end of the video...
I'm an awful person aren't I )X
Last couple seconds of the video, and in the description. Did someone watch the video...?
Dang. Thanks for getting those of us who have only been around for the last two years up to speed. Much a enjoyment and appreciation.
Make John watch MTV for a day and write a synopsis for everything he saw.
This is probably the most entertaining idea I've seen on here, and it's painful too.
Good idea.
This is brilliant and must happen.
All of my yesses. Here, I'll even let you have my very own sì!
Oh yes please.
Make John act a scene from Twilight... with the Yeti!
YES
I'm guessing the one where Bella tells Edward he is a vampire... in the woods.. Brrrrr...
Edward and Bella in the restaurant. "I have a special diet."
But the Yeti didn't do anything wrong‽
The problem is that also punishes Sarah, and she did nothing wrong.
Oh my goodness, thanks for reminding me of all these, I'm going to go back and watch them all again! Especially Hank-rolling and the Target one, those are my favourites.
Hank and John must switch their roles in Crash Course for one episode.
Hank does Literature.
John does Psychology.
Great ideea!
NO.
John does Chemistry. (harder than psych)
Hank does...History.
And NO PREPARATION; they must go on the show and talk about the topic that was listed for the week.
Aw, even though it was about punishments it was like a walk down memory lane! The Peeps! John's fitness video! The embarrassing high school picture reenactments! I feel like I'm all fresh and new to youtube again... :)
Thank you very much for the playlist, Hank. My day off is gonna be a good one.
have a rap off and the loser recieves the ULTIMATE PUNISHMENT
hank would win the rap-off too easily,
Punishment for John: telling your high school prank story in anapestic tetrameter (ala dr seuess) while wearing a "i love unicorns" shirt. Punishment for Hank: doing the ministry of silly walks walk across Missoula for five hours dressed up like Ash from the first season of Pokemon.
Literally the best vlogbrothers video ever!!! I'm cracking up here in Europe for vacation. And I said to my sister who asked why I was laughing I was watching a vlogbrothers video. John or Hank? I replied hank. And she replied, " Who the hell is Hank?" Yes!!!
I think as John's punishment, he should have to put on pink taffeta nylons and a nerdfighteria tee shirt and fill the nylons with warm tuna fish, and go out into any public grassy area at precisely midnight, sit in the cool dewy lawn and softly say, "Here kitty, kitty, kitty" for 4 minutes and 1 second.
Funny hat optional.
LOL cat sign is mandatory.
That is horribly wonderful!
For some reason I feel I need to see that
For some reason I feel I need to see that
haha I love this! But I feel that it should be during the day. Not hard to do if there's barely anyone around to see!
No, it should be 4 hours and 1 minute. 4minutes is far too easy.
John should have to find a Dave Green and inform him about his past at Hogwarts and everything else about himself from YourPants, Tumblr and various TH-cam comments.
Genius. Utter genius. And he should try to find the Dave Green the looks the most like a Green brother.
Yes! This has been my favorite idea so far!
There is an Dave Green in astrophysics. Here is his homepage: www.mrao.cam.ac.uk/~dag/. Out of the Dave Greens I can find, he is the most vlogbrotherish
Also, his name can be David Green, since Dave is a common nickname for David.
I agree!
One of the funniest and most unique aspects of this channel in my humble opinion!
grocery shopping or restaurant with the total/check paid in pennies.
WHY PENNIES THEY ARE USELESS
I like this idea... To avoid "punishing" the cashier, he should give them a hefty tip, from a roll of twenties!
John hates pennies thats the point, he will contribute to a cause he hates, arm waving hate
Very unique, I like it!
This is exactly what I was thinking. Maybe he should buy the most random items and have his son cook a meal with them?
John should reenact a scene from the TFIOS movie...with Bill Gates.
So much yes.
YES YES YES YES YES YES
Amazing.
I approve this punishment.
If Gates is okay with it, yes.
John should go around town eating vanilla pudding out of a mayo jar
I think it would be better if he just ate the mayo!
Meg Sorensen That's a health hazard.
spend a night on chatroulette and make a compilation video about reactions of people who recognized you :D
yes
Finally, finally, FINALLY!!! I have been waiting almost two years for this. John, you should go on Ellen.
Glad we got to the bottom of that. 15 hours in Target was probably the first vlogbrothers video I ever saw (or at least it was the one that made me stay)
Make John walk up to tween girls for a few hours and simply say, "Okay?". Watch the hilarity ensue.
That…is amazing/creepy?
Seconded
And he has to record it, of course.
HAHAHA this would be hilarious
This would be amusing, but I'm pretty sure John has issues with anxiety, and that just seems like trouble waiting to happen.
John should read a really REALLY smutty part of a fanfic outloud on camera in his most deductive voice
I deduce that you've made an error.
al-Bakh'kam Well played, Sir... well played.
al-Bakh'kam Well played, Sir... well played.
A Punishment Idea: Dress up wearing actual pizza to truly become Pizza John then walk around town introducing yourself as "Pizza John, New York Times Best Selling Author".
I just merged to other punishments I saw in the comments :p
THIS ONE IS THE BEST ONE, I DO NOT KNOW WHY IT HAS SO FEW LIKES
John has to go through a city, and cannot stop his punishment until he has found EXACTLY $7.50 in change
Now this is a penny/change punishment I can get behind.
I'm so looking forward to watching John's punishment I got a feeling this is gonna be good hehe...can't wait to see what he decides to do
John can only talk how Shakespere's noble characters would talk (extremely flowery language that no one understands in iambic pentametre) for a whole day. At the end of the video, John must discuss, still in Shakespearean, how much the English language has changed in these past centuries.
That sounds like something he would normally do.
Hot glue as many pennies as will fit on a tshirt and then wear that shirt around town for the day spreading the virtues of the penny.
I like this! It's better than the "paying for stuff with pennies" idea because this way John isn't giving all those useless pennies to cashiers. :D
Why not go full penny chainmail or coif?
THIS. YES.
Yes pease!
Yes do this screw my idea of him sitting on the roof
John has to spend 16 hours in the Indianapolis airport.
omg thats brilliant...the grey speckled walls!
One of the most hillarious videos I've seen in a while, I just love you guys! ;d
I'm not sure if this is really a punishment but, John should let his son write a short story and publish it in the next book he writes. Idk, I just sounds fun
He should do this anyway
Or, Henry should write a story and John should have to act it out/read it aloud/perform it in some way.
Lindsay Covington Not really a punishment. More like being a good dad.
Sounds more like a punishment for Henry
or ... Let Henry write the story, complete with picture, ON John across his chest, back, arms, whatever). We do it to "problem" kids at Summer camp, its called Postcarding.
Johns punishment: Hank should write a quiz for John with 10 questions. John should pick 10 edible things he likes and 10 things he hates. Then he's gonna answer the quiz and for every wrong answer he has to put 1 of the gross things into the blender and for every correct answer he has to put one of the things he likes into the blender and when all the questions is answered he has to blend all the ingredients and drink/eat it.
And then the roles reverse for Hank's punishment perhaps?
John should to a thoughts from places (insert tall building here)
The sears tower sky deck.
Brandon OFTO I like the concept of this one, but I don't think one building will cut it. I want to see John do a thoughts from places video in like, Chicago or someplace, but ONLY doing it from the tops of skyscrapers.
I think john should have to finish every tweet for the next week with # yolo
Second.
I think we should pick a punishment that can be recorded with video for our amusement. So disagree with this one.
Also make it so that he has to tweet so many times a day. For example: 500 tweets a day atleast.
I agree #yolo
...and just as #yolo was fading away...
he didn't leave a link to the spreadsheet, I'm sad
I've got a good punishment you could both do. Do a two part play of a story the nerd fighters come up with. You must do your best dressing up as whatever we tell you to. The story would me made up with a vote on what genre (sci first, romance, horror, etc.) and then for specifics have another vote for what it should be about (saving a princess, world domination, finding ultimate treasure...) The only things you guys are tasked with doing is figuring out who will be the hero and who will be the villain, and creating this short 4-8 minute play. Each part of the play would be released on the day you must do your punishments.
My calculations show me this could be done in at least a week up to three weeks. You should consider it if this gets any agreeing fans.
change 50 dollars into pennies and keep them in a jar by his office for a month
Or use them in a $50 dollar purchase!!
I had a similar idea, thinking about maybe just $10. Maybe he can do something productive with them? Something charity-wise?
How about John must make a video in which he makes 5 purchases of no less than $10 each, paid for with pennies!
Stoopid pennies!
Now let's not be so hasty, it's not like he killed anyone. Don't you think that's a little harsh? And way too funny? He might have serious mental repercussions for years to come if we made him do that.
I think it would be over-stepping some lines if we actually made him use the pennies. It would be funny to watch his reaction but it would be cruel to the store clerk(s).
How about this: When "Paper Towns" is adapted for films, John will make a cameo in it... BUT IN DRAG.
This one made me laugh the hardest by far!
If done well John would make a lovely girl.
John needs to do a SONG WEDNESDAY.
John punishment: make a video advocating for the continued use of pennies.
I'm all for John making a video advocating the use of pennies. That sounds amusing.
I really love this! Going back to the roots!
John should get a perm.
I like your thinking :D
YES! And frosted tips (he will look like Justin Timberlake ;) )
