@krissy M you clearly have no siblings. You misunderstanding it's not that he was not aware of this in fact, in fact, he was counting on it. It was the real gift he planned on giving himself all along.
I want Hank to title his next video "You're an all star" and go through the rest of All Star's lyrics as video titles, even if the contents have nothing to do with the title. Seems like some Vlogbrothers 2.0 nonsense and I'd be here for it.
The video/ story amused me immensely but somehow it is this particular sentence summarising that I just can't stop laughing about... I feel like this sentence will pop into my head many months from now and I will burst out laughing alone in a public place
I still have a sing-a-ma-jig on my bookshelf that a friend gifted me in 2010 as a nerdfighter reference and it brings me so much joy that we are back here 10 years later.
Obviously you need to partner with Simone Giertz or Adam Savage and take apart a standard singamagig and remake it to play all star. This is the only reasonable response.
Sees the title is 'Hey now': So help me jesus if this is a second by second breakdown of the Allstar by Smashmouth music video... Sees it's actually about a Singamajig that plays Allstar: Nothing has ever made me happier. I'm in the UK so I'll see what I can find 😄
Godspeed. I want nothing more right now than to learn that John actually catches his white whale. (I'm looking for a job and desperately need the money, and yet in this moment, all that matters is that Sing-a-ma-jig.)
If you manage to locate one but need reinforcements to get it out of the nasty golden cage it is held captive in, then don't hesitate to give us a call. We ain't called NerdFIGHTERS for no good reason.

....I have, like, 100% confidence that Nerdfighteria has the ability to _make_ an All-Star singamajig. Maybe we should crowd-source the singing, place the recording in another type of singamajig, and have nerdfighteria sew a little tie/suspender combo

And it would be a splendid follow-up to the time when, for Hank’s birthday, nerdfighteria succeeded in getting Helen Hunt to watch Hank’s song of the same name, and send a personal response...
Not gonna lie, I have lost track of days of the week, and when I saw the title in the alert, for a minute, I actually thought this video was Hank finally posting video 1 of 478...
As a teenager, I find myself in constant conflict with my brother. We argue every single day. The only reason we still talk to one another is because I can’t help but think about what your relationship (John and Hank) created. Vlogbrothers, CrashCourse, Scishow, the podcasts, and all of your novels helped shape me as a person. They were also the result of an impeccable brotherhood. You guys are such an inspiration. Thank you for all you do. Happy Birthday, Hank!
Never in my entire life have I imagined I would say this: I wish I had an All Star Sing-me-a-jing (also, is that how you’re supposed to write it?) to give to Hank. But at the same time, if I had it, I’m not sure I would be able to imagine a life where I didn’t have it anymore. Such a dilema.
Wow! Just discovered Hank has birthday on the same day as me! 😯 Well, Atleast he's got buddies to remember it wish him about an the concurrence of a specific point on solar calendar, depending approximately on earth's position, mandated by our oversimplifications or by ancient rulers that has no significance over anything whatsoever. But it's a day to celebrate, I guess. Happy birthday Hank... You're fortunate to have a brother like John. We on the other hand are just a by-product of your hardwork and niceness. You should be grateful for having John in your life. I wish you two be together and always be there to wish each other happy birthdays. :)
Dear John, My husband and I listened to your book, Turtles All The Way Down, some time ago on a road trip. When we finished listening, we started Looking For Alaska. We loved both books and we're so excited that Hulu was going to produce a mini series for, Looking For Alaska. Needless to say, we Loved it. Well, we loved the name Alaska so much we decided to name our daughter Alaska Faye. Because we want our daughter to not give a shit what this world thinks of her and be strong minded and well rounded. The nursery is filled with books for her own life's library, and I plan to read to her every day. We love your books. Alaska will be joining us July 3rd (🤞) And I know she is our Great Perhaps that we have been looking for. Much Love and Admiration, Josh, Arielle and Alaska. 🌼
This was the most unexpected video topic I've ever seen, and that is precisely why it was fantastic...good luck on your search for the White Whale of All Star, John, I hope you find one someday...
I got my friend a sing-a-ma-jig for her birthday in high school 10 years ago because of vlogbrothers and this brings me back. I love it. Thank you for this slice of normalcy and joy.
I think this video about sing-a-majig perfectly encapsulates how the journey is with more then the destination. I mean you didn’t even get it in the end, but a story and lesson was learned through the efforts to buy one that sings All Star. Truly, truly beautiful
I usually watch every new vlogbrothers video as they are published, but this is the first in a long time that I've rewatched several times a week since it was published. I just love this quest and how it turned out in the end (I've rewatched that one a few times as well). Thanks for bringing the awesomeness of singamajigs into my life again!
Where silliness meets wonder... wow. Never have I ever heard such a perfect description of my teaching style or of me as a person. Thanks for that. And as always, thanks for being inspiring, awesome, and wonderful.

It reminded me of when I was younger and was going through a rough time and how I’d watch all of the old extravagant birthday videos that you guys made for each other. Thanks for always putting a smile on my face when i really need it.

This is an old style vlogbrothers video, so you, john, should call upon the greatest power known to human kind, commonly called upon in the olden days of the late 2000s. THE COLLABORATIVE POWERS OF NERDFIGHTERIA!!
I really needed a silly VlogBrothers video today. Thank you for somehow always knowing just what to say, even if sometimes that turns out to be the tale of your epic quest for the Holy Grail of Singamajigs
I'm gonna be honest: That sing-a-ma-jigs video has been one of my favorite vlogbrothers video since I first watched it. I loved it so much, that I searched for ways I could acquire the toy for myself. Imagine the joy my heart feels after this throwback. John, thank you for this distraction from The Current Historical Moment. I wish you luck in the hunt for your white whale.
vlogbrothers Hi John, hope you’re well and thanks for your reply. No didn’t disappear, different time zones. We are currently in lockdown in the UK due to the current situation.
Honestly John, because these singamajigs are absolutely remarkable things, it was a beautifully foolish endeavour to think you could get your hands on them. You guys are celebrities, stars in all sense of the word, so don’t feel bad because of the faults in our stars. Trust me, I’ve been there, and it’s Turtles all the way down while you’re looking for Alaska. But sometimes you just got to ask will Grayson will Grayson to let it snow on these beautifully paper towns and you come to realize that all Hank wants is an abundance of Johns, an abundance of Katherines, an abundance of Orins, and an abundance of Nerdfighters!
This is true brotherly love. The quest for the singamajig. I wish you best of luck on this beautiful (but not foolish) endeavor, and I wish Hank a very happy 40th birthday!
@@vlogbrothers I am so sorry, but it looks like my lil dude is gone. I just came back in from rummaging in my shed, fending off black widows and other critters and having gone through all my storage containers with no luck. I know what it was in but that and a few others are missing. They were probably taken by mistake when a friend was done borrowing the space. I'm going to message them as soon as I get a shower. I'll keep you updated!
This is true dedication for your bother. It makes it more special that you weren't able to acquire this Great White Whale, but to simple know that it exists.

This was exactly the type of vlogbrothers video I needed. Reminds me of the old days!
John: hey now
Me: *hey now, don’t dream it’s over!*
SAME. I think we're showing our age.
Also guilty of this. Also wishing for 40 again (at least in my case) :-/
Either that or spot the New Zealander lol
+1!!!!
YES.
I love how you were so pleased with yourself for the ending line that you couldn’t stop smiling
Hey hey, loving the old school!
Oh my goodness! Is that song really considered old school?! I just aged 20 years. 😭
Awww. I love you both SO much. Even though you failed to get the perfect gift you never fail to inspire me to be a better sibling. 💖
I didn't realize how much I missed sing-a-ma-jig content until now.
This was a nostalgia punch. Those sing-a-ma-jig videos were some of my very first for Vlogbrothers. What a ride its been.
I played a game, took a shot of water every time John said sing-a-ma-jig, now I am hydrated.

you, sir, are a beautiful human being and, from what i can tell, a wonderful brother
Just imagine if they had made one of 'Never Gonna Give You Up'.
WHY would you SAY that
I WANT ONE SO BAD NOW
@@StacynZachEmmons Maybe Nerdfighteria will make you one, too?
I'm gonna be honest: That sing-a-ma-jigs video has been one of my favorite vlogbrothers video since I first watched it. I loved it so much, that I searched for ways I could acquire the toy for myself. Imagine the joy my heart feels after this throwback.
John, thank you for this distraction from The Current Historical Moment. I wish you luck in the hunt for your white whale.
Tesco’s in the UK. I am in the UK and I have the complete Hits collection. If you are still interested in this please let me know John

Leonardo, I AM VERY INTERESTED. Email me at sparksflyup at gmail dot com, please!!! -John
Leonardooooo where did you disappear toooooooo? -John
vlogbrothers Hi John, hope you’re well and thanks for your reply. No didn’t disappear, different time zones. We are currently in lockdown in the UK due to the current situation.
Really enjoyed this! Felt comforting and nostalgic and real. Hope you can find one, Happy Birthday Hank!
So this video is what started it all...
I really enjoy how you can make anything exciting if you focus hard enough
You’re an all-star?
Edit: Yup.
Definitely thought this was going to be a start to the all star MV analysis series pilot gag, but it turned out to be so much better!
Honestly John, because these singamajigs are absolutely remarkable things, it was a beautifully foolish endeavour to think you could get your hands on them. You guys are celebrities, stars in all sense of the word, so don’t feel bad because of the faults in our stars. Trust me, I’ve been there, and it’s Turtles all the way down while you’re looking for Alaska. But sometimes you just got to ask will Grayson will Grayson to let it snow on these beautifully paper towns and you come to realize that all Hank wants is an abundance of Johns, an abundance of Katherines, an abundance of Orins, and an abundance of Nerdfighters!
You are an artist
EatenByAGrue why thank you! Uh uh uh ZOMBIECORNS
This is true brotherly love. The quest for the singamajig. I wish you best of luck on this beautiful (but not foolish) endeavor, and I wish Hank a very happy 40th birthday!
Omg, omg! Not making any promises but, I might still have mine. If I can find it, I will most definitely contact you. Keep your fingers crossed!

@@vlogbrothers I am so sorry, but it looks like my lil dude is gone. I just came back in from rummaging in my shed, fending off black widows and other critters and having gone through all my storage containers with no luck. I know what it was in but that and a few others are missing. They were probably taken by mistake when a friend was done borrowing the space. I'm going to message them as soon as I get a shower. I'll keep you updated!
This is true dedication for your bother. It makes it more special that you weren't able to acquire this Great White Whale, but to simple know that it exists.
