In fairness, who among us isn't a little neoclassical & somber on the outside yet a leprechaun on the inside?
This made me laugh for like 45 seconds.
Among us
Hey some of us are leprechauns inside and out.
No, actually, I agree with you. Even the outwardly leprechaun-y are probably holding back somewhat.
I'm more art deco, with a gnome on the inside.
i want to be all this! 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
The last thirty seconds of this video contains the most surprising reveal I have ever encountered in my entire life, and I'm saying that as someone who has watched a LOT of home renovation TV programs. -John
Why didn't you pin this comment?😂 it got lost
I gasped.
Still don't know how to pin comments, eh John?
Here I am reading the comments before seeing the end fully expecting you find your own graves with a future date of death only a few days awa....oh hang on that's even weirder
@@shokoofehmms7477:
Because part of the fun is hunting for extras.
I usually don't feel the pressure of your 4 minute time constraint, but this one could have been twice as long!
I have great news...check the description.
@@vlogbrothers Yesss
We also have twice the usual amount of vlogbrothers in this video so it seems only fair.
OUT-TAKES! YES. This comment ought to be pinned, would've missed em if not for it
@@albasapri3265 i second this.
“So here’s what we decided to do. I was like, let’s go epitaph-hunting.” …you know, a totally normal thing to say
I do love a good epitaph...
Can you tell he's a writer?
@@vlogbrothers They're kinda like last words but usually more carefully chosen and not made up
As one does, y'know
I would totally endorse a "John and Hank at the [blank]" series. It doesn't even matter where. John and Hank at the supermarket... John and Hank at the bowling alley... John and Hank at the DMV...
John and Hank at the purple tank

John and Hank at the Rax outside Dayton Ohio?

John: what’s that? are you mooning?
Hank: yeah he’s mooning!
John: now, what is your understanding of the verb “to moon”?
Hank: walk upon the moon
John: oh ok
I don’t know why but this made me lose it 😂🖤
He clearly didn't learn that verb from Bart Simpson 😁
This is some legitimately little-bro-big-bro energy from two grown men and I'm here for it
came to the comments right after they said that, its to cute
So innocent 😁
Sometimes they’re just so completely brothers.
So much brother energy.
Chaos that could only be familial.
'chaos that could only be familial' made me crack up :D (also? the definition of every reunion video they've made i think!)
++++++++++ and I love it all the same
Hank's delightfully innocent "Yeah, he's Mooning!" absolutely made my day. Thanks :D
Regardless of whether or not it's true, I do love the story of the woman who once said of a fiercely guarded recipe, "You'll have it over my dead body". And then the recipe was engraved upon her tombstone. Truly a legend.
I’ve seen this stone!!! (Or at least one with this story) It’s in a cemetery in Concord, Massachusetts, and there’s a full on recipe on the back of the stone!
Hank and John videos where one of them rolls in saying gooood morning. Is the only thing I need to be happy.
You hear "good morning," but then SURPRISE! There's a second "good morning!"
Saw this one when going through a cemetery: "Two things I love most. Good horses and beautiful women. And when I die I hope they tan this old hide of mine and make it into a ladies riding saddle, so I can rest in peace between the two things I love most."
It's a good thing I was in a cemetery when I read that because I died laughing.
🤣
I heard that in a song. It was in Spanish. I don’t remember the title of it though.
This content is beautiful. My tombstone will say. “Acted like a good person”
"I don't know if I was good, but I tried to /act/ good."
My tombstone would just say "Banana"
I like that. I might make my epitaph "Acted like a person."
How about "Acted like a human"
@@vlogbrothers tombstone, 2 words: "I tried"
Ha, you could’ve given me 1000 guesses as to what was in there and I never would have gotten close!
Heyo! awesome to see Whitney Avalon on a vlogbrothers video!
Thanks, Adam! I was just about to say…👀
I feel like if literally had a thousand attempts, I would have at least stumbled onto Lucky Charms.
++
Since Notre Dame (the university, not the cathedral) is in Indiana, the leprechaun may be a reference to that overrated institution
John: "if you have the money to spare a few extra words onto your tombstone, I think it adds a lot" hank: "yeah, or even just one... Bananas!"
Don't you mean chom-choms?
seeing Hank sitting in John's spot and my brain went "that's the wrong one! the other one is supposed to be sitting there!"
That's right; it goes in the square hole.
"The sober one is on tour"
++
Yes, this is the kind of content I’m down for on a Friday night. Also, I want Hank‘s ‚mooning‘ to become the next TikTok dance trend.
Didn't Michael Jackson already do something pretty similar?
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 yes, but I don’t think you can compare the Moonwalk to Hank’s mooning (sorry, Hank).
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 There's always room for more moon related dances.
My favorite epitaph was from a person named B.P. Roberts that had "I told you I was sick" on their tombstone. Legend.
The way that “oh gosh someday” had just a hint of wistful consideration just food for thought, I would 100% book a cemetery tour with John Green and I think I’m not alone in that.
I smell a P4A perk!
I would pay at least five extra of my dollars to have a live Policy Genius ad in the middle of the tour.
ok, I kind of love "the sober one is currently on tour," kind of because it's totally inscrutable--to us. Obviously this is just conjecture but it really sounds like an inside joke this person had with close friends or family, and now etched into their memory is a little piece that only the ones closest to them get to have access to. It's okay if we don't get it, it's not *for* us. A graveyard is so public and we all get access to this part of a person's legacy, and I think it's really charming for someone to say "no, you don't get to understand everything about who I was, you never *knew* me. That part of me is only for the people I love." I really like that perspective, and I hope the people who get the joke got a good laugh out of it.
Honestly I love the idea of putting an inside joke on your tombstone. It feels so intimate and loving, because every time your family sees it they're going to remember a happy moment with you.
My grandfather died before I ever met him. I'm told he was a warm and funny guy and I'm a lot like him. We spend a long time saving for a tombstone and when we finally had it installed we looked in awe at the words "always remenbered" and just laughed. We've debated on fixing the spelling mistake but we feel grandpa would have loved it.
The amount of real estate that damn cemetery owns in my head because of John Green. I was just thinking about it on my walk 5 minutes ago. 🤦♀️
I always forget the magic that happens when Hank & John are physically together. Their love for each other is so clear and infectious.
"I am very fond of the idea that even the things we etch in stone
are not necessarily... etched in stone" would make a great epitaph.
TRUTH!
Thank you for calling this out. It slipped by me on my first viewing, and it's worth keeping.
My great grandparents have "We put up a hell of a fight" on their tombstone. The thing is, no one knows why it says that. The cousins who ordered the tombstone didn't request it. We don't believe my great grandmother requested it (or if she did, she never told us). It's just there, on the back of the stone, almost hidden by grass. Very odd.
Cemeteries are some of my favorite places. The older the better. They’re always so quiet and strangely peaceful. I rate them 5 stars.
I do as well. I could spend all day at one. Someday I will spend everyday, all day at one.
Hanks understanding of the verb "to moon" is so innocent and wholesome
You two together in front of the same camera and in the same room is what the world needs right now. The best videos on this channel are the videos where both vlogbrothers are in them.
“Bananas” -Hank Green is what’s gonna go on my gravestone
I very nearly dropped my food, when he said that
I'd want mine to be a bit more personal. Like "apples." Those were always my favorite fruit.
I like the matching brother shirts. Loving the progression here (progressing from young weird men to middle aged weird men)
I recently went to a funeral for an old relative. She died having very many ailments but really didn’t like to complain and she asked for no eulogies. We honoured her wishes and her son explained the reasoning by quoting the phrase he said he’d most often here her say on the phone….
‘Anyway, enough about me. How’re you?’
And if that’s not a sweet epitaph I don’t know what is.
This video reminded me of an epitaph that struck me. I read it on a grave in a cemetery in Yosemite. According to the gravestone, the person in question had drowned and I found the epitaph hauntingly beautiful.
"Ah, that beautious head
if it did go down it
carried sunshine into
the rapids"
+
+
"Here lies John Albertson, 104 years old. The good die young."
The leprechaun stained glass window is awesome! Of course there's room for that! Please, a patch of sunlight in an otherwise somber downcast place. More of this.
1:05 Am i the only one that does not think of mooning the way Hank and John did?
The "I am mooning" with so much joy gets me every time.
One of my favorite places I ever toured was a cemetery in Hugo, Oklahoma that was reserved for the local circus. So many genuinely joyful headstones celebrating people who were clearly deeply missed. It was amazing, and I highly recommend stopping there if you are ever in the area.
There’s something really lovely about these “immortalized” monuments to people that often go unnoticed being truly appreciated
“He filled his niche and accomplished his task. He left the world better than he found it.”
What more could any of us want others to say about us when we die.
only the green brothers would go "epitaph hunting" as an activity after months apart
Dear John and Hank,
I’m writing you today with some exciting news! There is a Rax Restaurant in Joliet, IL - a mere 3 hours and 7 minutes from Indianapolis, IN. I felt compelled to share this exciting news so you don’t miss out on a chance to visit this restaurant once again.
This is the most important news I’ve heard all year, thank you for sharing
I hope they see this!!!
Oh, we thought about going. We were like, "We could just do it while everyone is sleeping" but then we realized it would be closed...
@@vlogbrothers oh yeah that would be an issue.
I would watch the full 3 hours and 7 minutes of them going there.
'what is your understanding of the verb “to moon”?' - 'walk upon the moon!' Hank. you sweet summer child.
You should definitely record a video in each other's office at some point. Just a normal video by yourself and no mention of how you're not in your own place.
Just imagine the comment section. 100% worth it
I love cemeteries and walking them. The families stop going to visit and I think that if I can at least appreciate the stones they aren't totally forgotten. Also its a quiet place to walk. Glad you made this.
I used to walk in my local cemetery like every day of the summer because I would play pokemon go there. Summer of 2020 my dad started walking with me as an excuse to get out of the house. We've had some of our best conversations there. Nothing like a cemetery and a pandemic to bring you closer to your dad
Ah you think whimsy is your ally? You merely adopted the cemetery. I was buried in it, mausoleumed by it.
John Green, last word and epitaph connoisseur
these reunion videos getting me through until i reunite with my sisters
there is a very special kind of chaotic good energy that happens when you two are together. It feels very nourishing to my well-being and my good vibes just to see you two having fun.
How can a video about a cemetery be so uplifting! Bless those cemetery residents and bless John and Hank for uplifting us ☺️
Dear John, if ever through some twist of fate I find myself at Crown Hill Cemetery, I can't think of a greater delight than you showing people around as some Virgil of Indianapolis. And if you're ever around my neck of the woods, I will gladly do the same. Best, a fellow tour guide.
When asked in an interview what Paul Eddington would like his epitaph to be, he said, "He did very little harm." I think if we can say that at the end of our life then that would be something, cause it is not very easy to be able to say we have done very little harm.
Ok, but if John gets buried there eventually, and the epitaph says "Tour guide of Crown Hill" that's the most metal thing ever.
my favorite epitaph is from my friend's uncle and aunt, who, when they die, will have a bench placed above their bodies with a plaque reading: "Have lunch on us!"
"let's go epitaph hunting" is THE MOST hank and john thing i've ever heard hands down
Cemeteries, gothic creativity at its best. This is my favourite video from vlog brothers.
Reunion videos should be allowed to be twice as long!
CEMETERIES ARE THE BEST - recently visited some ancestral family graves and found out about a family member we didnt know existed! And found some slokavian written on the headstone for my great-great grandparents! And cleaned their headstones of all the lichen ❤
Love them. Puts daily problems in perspective. I hope cemeteries are around forever.
Hi John! Was reading Amy’s “Encyclopaedia of an ordinary life”, right after i read Auld Lang Syne the 5th time, when i got this notification. Just wanted to tell you, the whole time I was reading that book i could feel you narrating those little essays. I don’t know how this makes you feel but i’m sure Amy wouldn’t have it any other way :) Have a good day.
Based on this video, I have to share a book recommendation. Waiting for Gertrude by Bill Richardson is a book based on the cemetery Pere Lechaise in Paris, where many famous artists and creatives are buried. The premise is all of the artists (Chopin, Jimmy Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Alice Toklas, Maria Callas, and more) are reincarnated as the feral cats who live there. Delightful, fun, and very macabre.
This is an instant classic
ANOTHER REUNION VIDEO?!?!?!!!! LET’S GOOOOOO!!!
only Hank and John can make talking about cemeteries fun
Seeing the inside of that last one made me actually gasp out loud
My dad passed away, but before he did he instructed us that his tomb should have “death shall have no dominion” by Dylan Thomas. And so it does. I cry everytime I see this poem
It’s my favorite when you continue to see each other now- instead of Tuesday or whenever. I have siblings I love to see and so it always makes me happy for you when you get together.
Greens, both Hank and John: Just wanted to say how much I appreciate you guys. Also, when I saw the video title I didn't expect to laugh this much. Who knew a jaunt to the cemetery could be so entertaining. And, I so love what a safe brain space the comments section of Nerdfighteria is. ❤️
Highgate cemetery was one of the first secular cemeteries in London. That meant people could use whatever design they wanted for their mausoleums and gravestones without church approval, and they really went for it. My favorites are the life-size statue of a beloved dog and the Circle of Lebanon.
My mom is buried in this cemetery in the section across from the art museum, it’s a lovey spot. I’ve spent a lot of time walking through the cemetery and I always find something new.
I love it when John and Hank are reunited ❤️
Even what is written in stone is very of its time!! Woah
Can you imagine giving birth to not one but two exceptional human beings such as Hank and John? If I have children one day, I want them to be as awesome as these guys, or at least be as good brothers as they are.
My grandmother is a historian and visiting graveyards was a very normal event in my childhood, usually hunting for some distant family member or finding the burial place of one of her soldiers (her area of expertise was a particular cavalry unit from the Civil War era). Watching this brought back fond memories! Thanks!
I can only hope for a brotherhood as deep as what they have
I know the trend is over, but i would still like to see you guys do the "you can really dance" dance :]
Oh yeah, this is never happening.
@@vlogbrothers Okay, now it HAS to happen.
This is why, after many years, I still come back here. John and Hank feel like home.
I used to run tours in Edinburgh, Scotland, which took me into two different cemeteries on the regular, and they were fascinating, peaceful, and full of wonderful names and messages.
“To live in the hearts of others is not to die.”
I love that. That’s how I want to live my life
The energy in these reunion videos and this week's podcast is GREAT, so contagious, all giddy laughter and unexpected turns.
I so love the soft “bye” at the end from John. That’d be a prime epitaph
As someone who recently lost 2 loved ones this was very comforting
"Things that are edged in stone aren't necessarily Edged In Stone". Thanks, John. This is the best quote I've heard in a while.
I just realised that you each have 3 videos before the 15 years anniversary of brotherhood 2.0, feels like the 10 year kne was just last year
videos of the two of them together really are a breath of fresh air. they contain so much good.
Oh my god the leprechaun. I can't. Utterly lost for words 😂
I love how they wear the same style shirts
I was really hoping that "The Bane One" was referring to someone's epitaph quoting the Batman villain Bane.
This is one of my favorite Vlogbrothers videos. For some reason, it made me really happy. Thanks guys
I once encountered a grave whose epitaph read simply "she hath done what she could" . I quote it on a near daily basis.
I'd like my epitaph to say "See back" and then when they look at the back of the tombstone it'll just read "Made you look"
I volunteer to make my epitaph "Bananas"
I love reunion videos SO MUCH - but this one is so fascinating, too! The spouse got drawn in and had to watch, i've seen it over and over...fascinating + Green brothers = Awesome!
John and Hank are fun to watch together. They really feel like brothers.
Watching you together makes me miss your "Dear Hank & John" podcast since it's been 2 1/2 weeks since you uploaded one (but feels like FOREVER)
Only John and Hank could make a visit to a cemetery sound fun. Thank you!
In researching geneology, I found an aunt a few generations back. Under her name on the gravestone it said, "She did the best she could." Man...
I thought this was going to be a really sad video. Glad it was a positive one 🥰.
I think I would like my gravestone to say, "Empathy is not a superpower; it's the only power."
John just minted his epitaph.....
"I am very fond of the idea that even the things we etch in stone are not necessarily 'etched in stone'. It's been fun; I'm going MOONING!"
Currently living for these Hank and John reunion videos.
I genuinly laughed out loud when I saw the leprechaun.
Just Hank and John, scrolling through the cemetery to read some tombstone quotes
Actually they were with their parents and the lovely Katherine. Sarah stayed behind to babysit.
