Dec. 28th: John’s Last Video
Everyone should check out the scavenger hunt conclusion in My Pants. (And if you’re in the States, call the phone number!)
In which John says goodbye to brotherhood 2.0–BUT NOT TO NERDFIGHTING! (Calvin clip from Wynflete.)
Thank you.
first
Damn You Rob, when I saw the video it said no comments and then when I came to comment you were here already.
I’m sorry! From the moment it was up on youtube I was hitting refresh about twice a second.
Second!
I think I might cry. : (
I’m crying…John got me…
I’m about to cry too. I hate endings.
Already crying… it’s terrible. I know they really had to end Brotherhood 2.0 but I just don’t what to say goodbye to it all. It has really been so great for everyone. Look at all they have accomplished this year. In the world today, we all really need something like this. Thanks so much John and Hank because of you two so many people will always consider themselves Nerdfighters. DFTBA!
i was going to say the same thing…i actually think i might cry while watching the last video…you guys aren’t just going to, like, not do this at ALL anymore, are you? i’ve watched your videos almost every day for 9 or 10 months…what will i do??!!!
Totally did.
Sorry for the lack of content, but that is the first time i have got first. DFTBA All.
Somewhere high.
1f58I’ll miss you John, I am so tired having been up waiting for this…
it did not disappoint.
John, I’m going to miss you! You’re books are awesome. It was fun seeing your real personality in the videos and then having that come through in your novels.
lol…*your books are awesome. Your.
This is so sad that I can’t stop commenting… and I actually had tears in my eyes. Sigh
Okay I’m off to watch Accio Deathly Hallows now.
it’s funny how that happens. while i read the books i actually hear John voice reading them, and the things he writes i’m like that sounds exactly like him.
can’t wait for Paper Towns. Alaska and Katherines are my favorite books, no lie.
I do the same thing. I just realized that. Hmm…
Beautiful. Goodbye John.
And now I am crying.
I was fine till your little nod and smile at the end, now I have tears in my eyes. NOT CRYING THOUGH! lol
I’ll miss you guys. Thank you for making this year awesome and bringing us together.
Yes, that’s when it was over with me too!!!
Hey John if you hate finishing stuff..whydo you have to finish this ..???
the little nod and smile…that makes me feel like ur up to something…like meaning ur not ending it…but it’s probably just my wishful thinking cuz i cant believe it’s actually almost over…PLEASE DONT END THIS!!
Sad and sleepless
I’m crying so hard right now. This has been so awesome and I “wish it didn’t have to end at all” as well. Thank you so much for this year and thank you for everything that came of it. We love you and you guys will always be amazing.
A tearful Nerdfighter named Amanda.
Okay, didn’t cry but I’m old. What I really appreciated about this last posting by John is that he was so honest with his brother in front of all of us. It’s a pretty intimate moment when you can tell a sibling “I see you as an adult”. thank you for sharing that with us. I loved the “I wish it didn’t have to end” line… wasn’t he singing a line from “Accio Deathly Hallows”???? Happy new year Green Brothers, thank you for letting us into your lives.
Thank you both for such an amazing project and for housing a place where all of us can show our awesome! *sniff* *sniff* I think I might cry too.
DFTBA.
Alright I am crying…. John thank you for being a wonderful escape for me when my life was possibly at it’s lowest. I wasn’t on good terms with my family and i was close to being kicked out of school but I knew that when i got home at night I would have 4 minutes of awesome that I could share in with you and your brother. You two are an ispiration to what the little guy can do to bring people together in this wired and limitless world. Thank you for being made of awesome and decreasing the world suck and also the suck in my life. God Bless you and the Yeti (which I’m kind sad we never got to see… like not even a blurry shot in the middle of the woods) and I hope you all the best in the year to come and great success with Paper Towns.
Yours in Nerdfighting
Chris Bianculli
oh god now I’m sobbing.
Great. Now i’m really actually crying…a lot.
i never thought this would end
Wow, I can’t believe this is your last video. I am kind of sad now.
why does it have to be over???
Great job as always. DFTBA. I will miss seeing you everyday,goodbye.
im sad i only resently joined and became a nerdfighter…and imso sad 2 see it come to an end!!!
holy crap that look at the end! i mean, wiggly eye brows smirk? THAT is suggestive. “I wish it didn’t have to end at all”… me neither!
John, good video. And, THANK YOU!!!!!!!
“Things Fall Apart” i read that story this last semester, and we never discussed it in class. I mean, who can read all of those pages and not discuss it with anyone? I feel like i’m missing out on truly appreciating references to such a piece of literature for not having properly analyzed it myself.
Dont forget to be awesome in 2008!
1f43!!! I was so excited to see the last video that I didn’t let my computer load it all of the way before starting. Near the end it was really choppy and I NEVER NOTICED THE SMIRK!!! *eyes wide and a small hopeful smile*
Dear Hank and John-
Thank you for sharing your awesome with all of us this year. You
guys made me laugh every night. I even did my happy dance in the
middle of Yankee’s Stadium. I wouldn’t do that for just anybody.
Nerdfighters forever!
Sincerely,
Kristen U.
Oh my gosh, I love that video of Calvin. He is soo adorable!
i really, really hate endings, even perfect ones. Lovely little speech about nerdfighting, and about siblinghood. My sister’s almost 20 now and i sometimes think/worry about how our relationship will change as become “grown-ups”. But you two give me reassurance that we will stay just as close as we are now.
We will miss you so much John. I love you guys and I love B2.0!!!!!!
Thanks for all the laughs, Chin Waxer.
goodbye, john…
Here I was feeling lame because I’m all teared up, and then I read the comments, and so are the other Nerdfighters. Yay Nerdfighters!
Thanks John. Thanks for all the awesome.
Wow…I can’t believe how emotional I am right now. I feel like I’ve gotten to know John and Hank as friends, and to not see them five days a week is really hitting me hard.
Thank you for sharing yourselves with the Interweb. The Nerdfighters are eternally grateful. We’ll miss you.
thanks for the laughs john! brotherhood2 videos will be missed..best of luck in everything!!
Thank you John. You are made of awesome and so was the B2.0 project.
Continue TBA!
OH! I’m crying. This whole experience was immensely joyful for me - the knowledge that there were kindred nerd spirits out there - the self-discovery: “I am a nerdfighter!” - watching these videos five days a week for over six months -
My internet experience will now be sadly impacted by the loss of Brotherhood 2.0 - having no siblings myself, watching the videos was like being welcomed into a family. Of awesome.
I’m very close to crying right now . . . thanks for acknowledging the seriousness of the last video, John. I think that helped everyone. ::sigh:: I’m sad. And now I have to write a thesis paper.
I’m so sad that brotherhood2 is over. But it has to be I suppose. But I would like Hanks album…..seriously i would. You guys just have to make one. Please.
Wonderful, wonderful thoughts there on siblings John. I’ve always tried to live without people who suck - it can be lonely at times, but must be maintained. Another reason why I think JK Rowling’s invention of the dementors was so clever; they too suck out your soul. There is much good to do in the world and as a nerdfighter it is my job to reduce world suck, which is pretty jokes. Now there’s a sentence I didn’t know a year ago. Thank you, thank you.
Best wishes, cjjosh
I actually can’t process the idea that I won’t be watching a video from you and Hank everyday. This is all so sad! Thank you guys so much for doing this and for helping me realize how absolutely beautiful it is being me. Nerdfighters for life!
I’m going to miss Brotherhood 2.0 greatly….
Bye John! *sighs* I’m going to miss Brotherhood 2.0 A TON!!! You/John said it best “I wish it didn’t have to end at all.” but you know-we’re all nerdfighters for EVER so, that’s comforting.
Thanks for letting us join in, in the awesome you guys!!!!
DFTBA
Thanks John… for a great year and introducing me to many new things…
and that self-satisfied grin at the end of your singing was perfect!
DFTBA - from a nerdfighting teacher-mom…
Thank you, John, for this amazing year of Brotherhood2.0!!! This was an amazing idea, but as amazing as the idea was, the execution of this idea was far better!!! I think of you as a friend, simply because I get to hear/see you 2-3 times/week. I’m glad that this year you got to know your brother better, and that you let the world get to know the both of you. We are all richer for it! Thank you!!!!
No, John…Thank you.
I have so much to say, but right now, I just can’t find the words… I’m gonna miss you so much John… (and Hank, but I’ll tell you on Monday)
I’m gonna miss this vblog so much…
Une chance que, maintenant, je sais que les Nerdfighters existent et je n’oublierai jamais. Merci pour cette merveilleuse année (9 mois dans mon cas)…
DFTBA!
Nerdfighter FTW!
Ya I’m crying too!
thanks for the amazing year guy’s!!
ps…i prolly would never had read your books if it had not been for this project, their awesome and i wish Paper towns was out, and i wish you the best of luck with that!!
Thank you for all the unforgettable memories and inside nerdfighter jokes.
Thank you for creating this unlikely……ok i can’t even describe, so i won’t even try.
Thank you.
do you think it would be possible for you guys to sell every single episode on one completely awesome dvd? kinda a ‘Brotherhood 2.0…The Complete Series’ type thing?!!!!!
i’m totally serious! i would for sure purchase one, and i’m sure loads of other nerdfighters would too!
you could give the money to decrease world suck!!!!!
YES!!!!!
i had the same idea!
i’d buy one, that is for sure.
DFTBA
Okay, other people are being mushy, so I can too.
I’m a late-comer to this party (thanks to Accio Deathly Hallows and the feature page on YouTube for my joining at all) but I have enjoyed the last six or so months of B20 immensely.
As you, John, so succinctly stated in this video, it’s nice to do things that don’t suck with people who don’t suck. And there isn’t a group of people in the world who don’t suck as much as the Nerdfighters. You guys have pulled together a community, and I have no doubts that even after Monday, the Nerdfighters shall come back to fight some more.
It’s nice bing a part of something larger than just myself, and we all have the both of you to thank for it. I am very grateful.
DFTBA,
1f7cMallory
you made me tear up john.
thank you so so much. i hope we’ll still hear plenty from you guys.
you’ve been a comfort and an inspiration.
thank you again.
~Emmy
who says it has to end?! nerdfighters make the rules for nerdfighting! continue!!!!!
Thanks for reminding us all to stand seven feet tall.
D.
World Suck Levels just spiked to Severe.
I agree.
I disagree. The fact that John and Hank can end their project with WorldSuck levels at Low, after spending most of the year at High, is truly a testament to their collective awesome.
They taught us to NFTBA. We learned we weren’t alone in putting stuff on our heads. We discovered that being a Nerd really was the cool thing to be after all and we’re not as different as the Decepticons would have us believe.
Through them, we formed a community that proved there still are good and honest people in the world - that maybe, when we work together, we *can* make a difference. We laughed together, cried together, happy danced together, sang Nerdfighter songs together. I think every one of us can say we’re better off for knowing John and Hank Green.
And the ending of B2.0 can’t take that away from us.
Diddo
Well that was kind of a diddo to both comments, Heather&Caitlyn
Thank YOU John!
From seeing you get orbital cellulitis to watching the blenderized happy meal fiasco to the new glasses (which are made of awesome), this year has been one of the best EVER.
Nerdfighters FTW.
I’m so teary right now.
I just started watching this about in October, and I also (as other’s have mentioned) “Wish it didn’t have to End at all.”
I’ll miss you guys forever. And I’m not to happy about the New Year coming up.
I want to thank you both for this made of awesome project. I’ll never forget this , never forget the “in your pants jokes” and everything that happened in this Nerdtastic year.
I’m going to miss you so, so much! We’re not gonna here from you anymore. And it breaks my heart.
I believe the all the Nerd Fighters have grown so attached to you both, that we’ve become this made of awesome family!
If you had never created this, I would have given up on the nerd life.
I wish I could keep going on, but I can’t find any words right now..
I’m going to miss you so much John(Hank as well, but I’ll tell him on Monday), you wouldn’t even believe!
And again, thank you for everything!
Always in your pants,
Ally
PS. I’m positive I’m going to buy Paper Towns when it come out!
PSS. Nerd Fighters FTW!
I started watching these on… Monday. I’m really upset I didn’t get to enjoy them all year, but they are still made of awesome. These videos made me smile when I didn’t want to. You guys are great. Good luck in the New Year.
I’ve laughed so many times this year, watching this show… This was the first time I cried.
Well, okay, sort of. It’s really hard to make me cry. But my personal suck levels have shot up past Severe to like, wow, Critical, maybe. I’ll miss this all so much.
You guys really made an impression on a lot of people. Fantastic, magnificent job. What a legacy… Nerdfighters will continue to fight suck the world over!
…But wow, how I wish it didn’t have to end…at all…
I miss you already.
Goodbye, John. I’ts been quite an awesome ride.
Thank you for making 2007 a better year! I’ll think of you whenever I tell my boyfriend, after checking his hair, “Puff levels are high today.”
First time I’ve cried over a B20 vid…
Thank you for making my world so much better. I wish it didn’t have to end. :]
Thankyou.
I’m crying.
Oh crap.
John’s last video.
I wish it didn’t have to end at all, either. Thanks for making my year so awesome, John. I’ll miss this.
Tears! Tears in my eyes right now!
Aw…John, we’ll miss seeing you every other day (for the record, you’re my favorite Green…sorry Hank!)
Can’t wait for Paper Towns!
i cant pick between u two, personally. it’s like comparing corn dogs and kiva.org…they’re different but both awesome
i’ll be lost without you guys
nice little smirky smirk there at the end, john.
this has been such a great, great thing, and i feel like i’ve made not just two new friends in you and hank, and a new friend in anyone who ever recognizes the nerdfighter signal or the word ‘jokes’ or the phrase ‘made of awesome.’ thank you for a new community.
well, anyway, i loved this and you. thanks so much.
i hope to see you at a paper towns book signing. yeah? yeah.
smoore
dur. how about “not just”/”but also” instead. blargh.
smoore
1f4bAw, John I love you ♥
The end of the video was amazing, great last video. Nerdfighters will never die.
Bye John. I actually cried a little bit earlier today. Your video made it a little better, unlike Hank’s last video, which while still awesome, make me cry more. Maybe thats why you’re the older brother, “maturer”, lol. But wow, it’s going to be so, so, so weird not to see you every day. Well, I guess I’ll just have to read Looking For Alaska and Paper Towns when it comes out and hopefully sparksflyup is fixed soon. But I’ll miss you! And I hope you and Hank stay close, and I hope that nerdfighters don’t stop being nerdfighters. I hope they just become stronger. Finally, thank you for being so completely made of awesome.
Honestly, I never thought I’d get so attached to B2.0. What is next week going to be like without a video from John or Hank? No more songs? No more punishments?
Maybe we could make up our own projects, nerdfighters?
Either way, thanks to the Greens for an awesome year. While you two got to know each other better as adults, you allowed us to get to know you at all, which really is the magic of vblogging and the internet. And because of that, the nerdfighters got to know each other, too. I know I’ll stay in My Pants.
(Also, ‘Vesuvius: The Eruption…in My Pants’ is my favorite ‘…in My Pants’ joke ever. Well done, John.)
my friend shannon and i are starting a tribute to brotherhood 2.0 …actually we started it in august…it’s not finished and we werent gunna do anything with it unless we got permission cuz we feel bad stealing ur idea, h & j. my brother came home as i was crying haha. ruined the moment.
OHGODI’MSODEPRESSEDDDD
:( worldsuck levels are being lowered cuz of u guys, but my personal lifesuck levels are going up…:(
Thanks for everything. you (plural…u and hank) really did help me pull through some rough times (that seem to be getting rougher).
I’ll never forget you both. Thanks for everything.
oh god i’m crying
You two are a class act. Funny, smart, and decent to the world, each other, and nerdfighters everywhere. Thanks for the continuous ride of awesome.
John and Hank,
I’ve never responded to a video before although I’ve been watching since July. Not quite sure why that is, but probably because I’m a shy Nerdfighter in real life, so that translates to internet life as well. I’m pretty sure I’m a Nerdfighter, though… I found a way to relate Brotherhood 2.0 to my Introduction to Meteorology class and used it to fuel an hour long conversation with my grandmother about how much communication has changed because of the internet. Gosh I love being nerdy.
I think I’ve rambled enough now, so I’ll just say thanks for the past few months. And don’t ever stop being awesome Brothers Green, not that people made of such powerful Awesome every could!
Thanks John. You and Hank gave a 21-year-old and 14-year-old pair of sisters something to bond over every evening, across a couple hundred miles. It’s made our relationship a little more awesome, and for that we’re both really grateful. We’ll miss you.
Again, thanks. Nerdfighters for life,
Maria & Niki
: (
Thanks for inspiring nerds everywhere to truly not be afraid to be themselves!
In the words of Richard Bach:
“Don’t be dismayed at goodbyes, a farewell is necessary before you can meet again and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are nerdfighters.”
…. What do I DO with the rest of my life???
We love you guys.
DFTBA.
*cries* ;___;
I hopped onto this project sometime in July (thanks to the front page of Youtube), but I went back and watched every single video from Jan. 1st to today.
John, I’m going to miss you, your puff levels, your ridiculously large library, the Yeti, and your awesomeness. Seeing you every other day has given me so much to laugh and think about, so I thank you. I feel like I’ve changed and it’s for the better.
Ah, I feel like I’m losing an older brother. So, good luck to you, John, and miss you. ;___;
Awww!!! John, that was a wonderful video. I love what you said about getting to know your siblings as adults. It’s hard to do when they all move away. It was sweet the way you complimented Hank for being the smart and funny adult he is now.
Your singing at the end made me sad! But YAY you for finishing something!
Brotherhood 2.0 made me laugh so many more times than I would have this year. After the Christmas break it’s going to be weird to come home from school and not have a video from the previous day to watch. Because of what you said in your last video I’ve decided that my new years resolution will be to stay connected with my brother when I leave for university this coming fall. Thank YOU John and Hank.
Waugh!! Tears.
Thank you for this past year, John.
I’m going to miss your videos, John.
Thank you so much for sharing this project with Hank with the entire world. Since I started watching b2.0 until now, on every weekday that wasn’t a major holiday I was pretty much guaranteed a smile, and that feels good. (:
I’m looking forward to reading Paper towns when it comes out!
NFTBA!
Secret Sister Joanne.
John, your mother and I are so proud of you and Hank. But we are NOT giving each of you 500Euros for completing this project
Great last video. Glad I’m not Hank. Maybe he’s got a song…
…I saw that wink!!
Miss you already.
xo.
John, Thanks for a great year! Like Anne above - Miss you already
aww i was dissapointed i wanted 2 see the yeti for ur last video
JOHN! I really enjoyed this project that you and Hank decided to do. This took a lot of time and effort. I’m really going to miss Brotherhood 2.0
I wish it didn’t have to end. : /
John and Hank.
I didn’t realize, but I guess I was the first nerdfighter named as such. The funny thing is, I just stumbled on the Brotherhood. I loved Looking for Alaska and so I was just checking out John’s blog, and then you guys started this project.
Little Jack is now a year old. And he is definitely made of awesome. And he’s definitely a little nerdfighter. He loves to read. He will pick up books, hand them to me and go ‘GUH?!’ and we’ll have to read. He also loves to go to my bookshelves in the living room and pull out books. He also has a serious amount of groove and soul. He loves to rock out and dance, and loves clapping his hands.
Also, he smiles when he sees you guys on youtube. You’re not quite as popular with him as Laurie Berkner, but he definitely likes you guys.
I’ve got some pictures of him from his birthday up on my blog. It’s the most recent post.
So yeah. Thanks for being awesome guys. And whatever you do (I really think you guys should continue video blogging; I don’t think twice a month would be too much) keep being awesome.
Pete
So awesome to hear that Little Jack likes to read
I really hope that he likes the book. John couldn’t have chosen a better person/s for it to go to.
Also Happy Birthday Jack
-Debbie
i was thinking a similar thing…okay i know i’ve commented, like, 14 billion times but still
i’ve been thinking that maybe u guys could like, each have your own week so u’ll do one video every other week…and u dont have to do punsihments or anything (though they are very amusing)…just so i can listen to you incredible wit. i like being around smart people…though technically we’re pretty far apart…WHATEVER.
phew.
and yes this is like, the second novel of a comment i’ve written. My friend shannon that’s doing the tribute with me, her computer’s broken so she came over today and watched all the ones she was missing
love you guyzzz
Yeah, I was ok until the end as well. *sniffle*
I’ll miss your daily updates, but I hope you’ll still stop by.
What’s this almost crying B.S.? My keyboard is soaked!
I ♥ John and Hank Green.
~Lisa
Dear John,
Thank you for finishing this project. You and Hank have proved to all your viewers they can change the world, and perhaps more importantly, that it’s never too late to rebuild meaningful connections within our families.
I care about things now, because of you. I realize now that I am part of a vast network that stretches the globe, because of you. Thank you, John, but not goodbye!
In Nerdfighting,
Carolyn
And so, like a good book that is full of life and you wish it could go on forever, the project comes down to it’s final pages. John, it was an awesome idea, totally unpredictable, and truly a privilege to be allowed into your lives for a year.
Thanks, for everything.
John, thank you for doing this project, and thank you for this video. I’m one of 5 kids, though all of us are now in our twenties, and you’re so right about how siblings’ relationships change when they grow up. Watching you and Hank all year has made me appreciate my brothers and sister so much more. You both should be proud of how many lives you’ve touched, and changed for the better. We’ll miss you.
Nerdfighters FTW!
Wow, I can’t believe it’s the end! I don’t really have any words … I am so honoured to have watched this since almost the beginning. You guys have seen me through an incredible year in my life; a year of really big transitions, and it has been so nice to have some consistency (in the form of a four minute video) every day. I have laughed at (with) B2.0 more in this year than I have laughed at anything else. It has really changed me - changed the way I look at other people and at the world, has changed the things I find important in life, and has really taught me how to laugh. I really can’t thank you enough for letting us be witness to such an amazing project. I will miss you!
Okay, John–The project may be over, but nerdfighters will never die. In fact, I am so prepared to retire and move to Nerdfighteria! I’ll be an elder–young people can come to me for a shoulder to cry on, and advice–if they want it! I will even bring Ed along, and he can be in charge of all the book-loving NFs. Will you and Hank come visit?
See you around the library world—and DFTBA (as if you ever could!)
Thanks for this amazing year. I’m sure you never dreamed the community that would spring up around your little vlogging project. Awesome, indeed!
Ann
Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. This really sucks. I’m crying and doing my sad dance right now.
Thank you for giving us hope and inspiration, to show us that we can join with friends and even strangers to improve things that are meaningful to humanity. Thank you John & Hank for adding something special to my life. I wish it did not have to end….
Does it really have to end?…
Gina
I was thinking of those lines earlier. I sang it in mournful tones in my bedroom untill my hedgehog, who is a nerdfighter to her hedgehog core, began giving me pointedly unimpressed looks. then, i sang it mournfully in the kitchen.
this video made me cry. and then johns crackle when he was singing and his little smile. i fell to pieces.
I feel so touched………in my pants.
Honestly, I feel like this is the end of an era. Is this the last we’re ever going to see of John?
Podcast.
I DAMAND YOU MAKE A BROTHERHOOD 2.0 PODCAST AND TALK ABOUR EVERYTHINGGG.
*sobs*
I’m going to miss seeing your lovely face on my computer screen every other day, John. Thanks for everything D:
Damn it. I am tearing up. Just remembering the first video of yours, “I am not going to be good at this”…turns out you were awesome. SUPER AWESOME! Both of you. Thanks Hank and John. I’m still crossing my fingers to find that vlogbrothers have updated on January 1rst.
i liked the whole part about nerdfighting, and about how nerdfighting isn’t just about hank and john. if this isnt too cliched, it’s almost like a way of life: living with tolerance, and generally being awesome and nonjudemental.
yeah, that was really cliched; sorry. the whole second part made me cry. and still cry long after the video was over. i’m glad other people cried too, because otherwise i would have felt extremely awkward posting this.
I’m bawling harder than i did when i read harry potter 7. Wow. I did NOT think that it would come to such tears. This sucks. It kind of sucks like malaria, but maybe sucks like pooping in my pants.. Good allusion to Accio DH at the end. I’m going to go sob on my pillow some more… (i’m sad not to see the face of yeti in this video.. ah well.) Thanks for allowing me to believe in humanity again John!
that was so beautiful. we are all gonna miss you and hank and the videos thank you so much for all the videos this year.
i forgot to add that look you gave at the end was so cool
aww… im gonna miss you soooo much!!! this project has made 2007 sooo jokes!! i am gonna miss you though John and i friended you on facebook so ill write on you wall all the time!
Ooh! You quoted The Second Coming!
…yes, this excites me. Man. We had to memorize that poem for class this semester. I like that poem.
ANYWAY.
I’m really sad that Brotherhood 2.0 is almost over. I wish it didn’t have to end at all, too.
But hey! It’s not really ending! Because once a nerdfighter, ALWAYS a nerdfighter!
amen, brother!
Bah humbug. Now I feel grumpy.
I don’t know if you’ll read this far down, but-
When I woke up this morning, my first thought was “today is John’s last video.” And I wondered if it’s strange that my first thought was about a person I, in all likelihood, will never actually talk to, but then I realized that it doesn’t matter– you and Hank are like friends, and it kind of feels like you’re dying.
You’ve done something really good here. You’ve proved that there are nice, intelligent, flawed, funny people out there that do not in fact suck, and that by uniting, we really can make the world suck less on the whole (and now i sound like a PSA).
I’m not sure what I’m going to do at midnight on January 1st when no video has been posted and no punishment has been dealt, but whatever it is, I promise, I won’t forget to be awesome.
oh great now I’ve cried even more. jeeze.
but still—so true
I cried soooo much. I will mis you both incredibly. Fortunately, I missed the week of November 11th, so now I have something to look forward to. but after that…
YOU’RE RIGHT JOHN THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE THE LAST HP BOOK COMING OUT.
great. now I’m depressed.
so what now? are we NEVER going to see you ever again? that is sooo not jokes.
It seems like only yesterday was Jan. 8 and my friend was saying, “hey you know john green, who wrote looking for alaska? you have to check out this video blog hes making with his brother!”
and now it is your last video!!!!!!! :*(
but thank you for the reminder that nerdfighting is about the bigger picture.
and thank you for making this an awesomely jokes year!!!
thanks for
DFTBA
Thank you John for finishing.
What a hoot!
i havent posted in forever but I WILL MISS YOU JOHN!!!
THIS IS NOT THE END IT IS ONLY GOOD BYE!!
keep being jokes
nerdfighters
DFTBA!
how about, as a way to make up for all the projects and such you didn’t finish…you just let this one carry on indefinitely? or something close to indefinitely? yes? yes.
[notice how i even spelled indefinitely correct for the occasion.]
but it doesn’t have to end John it doesn’t! Me and my friends sent an e-mail to Hank saying how sad we are and how much you ahve changed the world! You know what? I was in Las Vegas this week for x-mas and my uncles boyfriend (please do not make fun of gays, it is not cool!) was telling my dad about brotherhood2.0 and i said Hey I know that i ahve been watching since January and then he said that he cried when he found out that it had to end that was when i said it does not HAVE to end, it’s you and Hank that are ending it! but my question is why????
As I sit here watching these final videos, it’s hard to believe this project is coming to an end. For me, Brotherhood 2.0 was this constant, reliable place where I could go and watch the funny and the witty in times when life was chaotic or decidedly unfunny. Something to look forward to each day. I’ve enjoyed getting to know you both, John and Hank, and feel as fondly toward you as if you were close friends. I guess that’s just a long way of saying I’m really gonna miss you.
But even more than that, I’m inspired by the revolution that is the Nerdfighters. To have so many people with diverse backgrounds and geographic locations united under awesomeness absolutely fills my heart. And like John, I believe that feeling, and that bundle of awesome Nerdfighter energy, does not have to end. This isn’t a period. This is an ellipsis.
And finally, to quote author, and I’m guessing fellow Nerdfighter, Dr. Seuss, “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”
*pouts* were i not suffering a i-smelled-too-much-smelly-stuff headache… i would feel majorly depressio’d right now…
hang the headache i dooo feelmajorly depressio’d right now…
Nooooooooooooo.

Goodbye, John. DFTBA!
Reading Looking for Alaska was one of the best things I have done- because not only was it an awesome book, but it lead me to discover this awesome community of nerd fighters as well as getting to know John and Hank Green a little better. Brotherhood 2.0 is made of people who don’t suck, and they have done so much that doesn’t suck. Thank you.
Goodbye John. Thanks for everything. Its been an entertaining year.
Thanks, John. I’ve enjoyed this so much. My mom got me an autographed copy of Looking for Alaska for Christmas…can’t wait to read it! Happy New Year!
miss you guys already. one more is not enough.
words can’t describe how awesome this project was.. It just goes to show how many awesome people are out there.. there are good people in this world… So I think more of them should be as nerdfighterly awesome as you guys and do projects like this. This includes authors and ecogeeks from all over.
I challenge them to be as awesome as you guys were to us and to let us know. I hope that if you hear of more projects you think will be awesome.. you will let us all know!
I’m rambling b/c no comment can be good enough..
Good last vid.. though I wish it wasn’t the last.
looking forward to seeing Hank on Monday. And looking forward to coming up with a new years resolution that is utterly nerdfighterly.
yours in nerdfighting, Jacklyn.
i think i’m gonna cry.
As an atheist nerdfighter, I’ve come to believe that one of the greatest things we can do with our lives is to strive to decrease worldsuck while we live. After we’re gone, the echo of our actions will be all that remains of us.
To that end, you and your brother have been an incredible success. I hope, in all sincerity, that there is never a time that you forget how many lives you’ve positively affected.
Thanks for the ride!
-Aaron
Dearest John,
My eyes are a little watery, and I’m perfectly fine with that. Watching this vlog helped me through my most emotionally taxing semester of undergrad to date, and I only have one left. I hope the value you feel you received from this project comes close to what it has meant to me and the other Nerdfighters. May you remain as beautiful a person as you are now. DFTBA.
Blessed Be,
Gabrielle
John, I can’t believe that this is the end of Brotherhood 2.0. I would like to thank you and Hank for letting us share your lives for a year. For making the world a smaller, happier and not so scary place. For giving us a place for like minded people to congregate, even if it was “in your pants”. Thanks for being smart and witty, and on occasion musically inclined. I am so sorry to see you two go.
John, you’ve made the past 365 a bit more awesome.
I hope you realize JUST how big of an impact this has had on some people, namely Nerdfighters.
You can now clap yourself on the back and add these things to the list of your accomplishments:
-You’ve taught a small part of America how to use an extensive vocabulary
-You’ve waxed more parts of your body than any man before you
-You have consumed more calories in liquified Happy Meals than any one person would like to admit
-And most importantly, you’ve brought all the Nerds together.
Thank you, John. You truly are fantastic.
We all knew this would end eventually. And if it has to end John, thanks for ending it like that! You singing has always brought much laughter. (Though the best thing about your ending was your sexy-eyebrow-raise/half-smile sign off thing.) (ha!) You and Hank have been a pleasure to watch this year. Thanks for inviting the world into your world.
I’m not crying, but I’m damn close! You looked kinda sad too, John. I love that you’re leaving us with a little “nod ‘n’ smile”. That was just fucking adorable! Thanks for making 2007 more awesome. I’ll miss you guys a lot. Ok, my eyes are a little teary now. Damn it! Nerdfighters forever! You’ll always be in my pants! I’ll think of you when I eat peeps! Always! So long, John Green!
*Sniffle* I actually teared up a little. I’m gonna miss you guys kind of a lot.
i always loved watching john’s videos the most.
jees, i’m really gonna miss this.
I haven’t cried this hard in, well, quite a while!
Thank you for this year, John and Hank. It’s been an amazing ride and I’ve loved getting to know you both. How awesome that you got to know each other better as well!
You’ve touched countless lives in immeasurable ways. . .
T_T
‘365 days of textless communcation’ (sic) - we’ve had an awful lot less than that. Seems to me we’re entitled to another ten weeks or so of B20!
Darn those weekends getting in the way of awesome!
I regret that I do not know the words that could express all of my appreciation and love for you guys. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything.
Viva la Nerdfighters
Thank you, John.
Thanks John. You guys have really made a not so good year better when I was able to come home and watch your vlog! I am going to miss all of this so much!
This is so sad =[
you and Hank gave me so much..thank you.
Now I’m gonna go and cry a little bit.
This is my first comment. I imagine there are many of us out here, like me, who have watched and laughed and sang along all year… but mostly stayed quiet.
This project has meant a great deal to me. Both John and Hank have done something that is almost unheard of in modern times, and that includes on places like YouTube and even real life friendships, they have truely let others get a glimpse into their lives.
Thank you Hank and John for not being embarassed to talk about loving your wives. Thank you for not being ashamed of who you are, what you are, and what you stand for. Most of all.. thank you for inspiring me to be a more upfront person and a better partner to the love in my life.
Thank You for a great year, and may the new one be amazing
Blessed Be
DFTBA

1f75What you said. A 100% everything.
Hey John,
I just finished your book an abundance of katherines… well, pretty late, I know, but I live in Germany and we don’t have your book here so I had to get it from the United States and then I had to finish The Lord of the rings first, which is pretty hard to read in English if that’s not your mother tongue but now I’ve read it and it is totally made of awesome! I really liked the part about sitzpinkler, when you said “those wacky Germans.. they’ve got a word for everything”… actually the English language has much more words… but I guess German has more weird words.. there is also a synonym for sitzpinkler… warmduscher which also means wimp but literally means “a guy who uses warm water when showering” … anyway, thanks for brotherhood 2.0 and for your books, John!
I just want to thank you for allowing me to see that I really am not, and never will be alone in this world.
The B2.0 project helped me to realize that there are thousands of people in the world who think and act the same as me, and that together we stand united (in my pants) to achieve the same goal - decrease world suck levels and to be awesome, always.
John, I really want to thank you for introducing us to your books - they are truly amazing and am so glad to own them/ to have read them.
You have made 2007 a jokes year for me!
Nerdfighters for life!
That’s it? Well, ok. I guess it had to come down to this, but seriously, it’s like coming to the end of a really good series of novels and wondering where it goes from there. I mean, there’s so much more that the characters can always do after the authors end it. A premature ending, maybe? No, if we let such an awesome thing go on and on, it may end in a very nonclimatic ending. And we wouldn’t want that to happen, because we all knew that it had to end. And that’s ok, because you helped me to not forget to be awesome and made this a jokes year for me and my peeps! (I still don’t like wine, though, and you didn’t help there.)
Anyway, whatever becomes of this site and your vlogging after this, I’m afraid that I may be here, just a lurker in the wide world of the web refreshing your page to see new content at about 10 at night and still being disappointed that it, yes, really is over. I shun the thought and hold onto the idea that Hank will still come to us loud and strong one more time before the end of the year.
DFTBA
James Pipkin (a lurker you never really got to meet)
Cheers.
Thank you John. Brotherhood 2.0 gave me a horde of friends that I will be keeping even after this project ends.
I have 2 sisters, a pile of cousins, a bunch of friends and a wife and child from this.
Wish it didnt have to end.
I cried. I’m not kidding.
Just a little bit. Okay, so goodbye John. I know all the Nerdfighters have completely and totally enjoyed ALL of your videos, just as we enjoyed this last one. THANK YOU for finishing this project. Thank you for making us laugh, thhink, and DO stuff and MEET people we never would’ve met. Thank you for bringing us together, and bringing out the awesome in each one of us. Thank you for The Happydance Project, and The Youtube Project, and everything else. But thank you, most of all, for The Nerdfighters. No, we won’t see you next Tuesday, but Brotherhood 2.0 will always be alive and well with the Nerdfighters.
–Sierra
Congratulations on making it through the year! BTW, your last video was done on Mariah’s 18th birthday. Just thought I’d share.
Thanks!
Libby
Thank you, it’s been an amazing year. Just don’t stop vlogging.
Nerdfighters for life!
JOHN, YOU WERE ALWAYS MY FAVORITE (Sorry, Hank)
I LOVE YOU GUYS ;______;
Kisses from Portugal!
Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a year.
This was a beautiful video. Your speech about siblinghood really got to me. You and Hank are amazing people!
John, thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us this year, and helping to make the world more…awesome! (there is no better word to describe this experience)
Thanks again.
Peace, Monique
Nerdfighters!
Thanks for sharing your life, opinions, laughs and awesome with all us Nerdfighters.
This project made me realize that there are a lot of awesome people around. Even though we were an ocean apart, I still felt connected in a way.
Best wishes to you and the Yeti (who still remains entirely mysterious) from Belgium!
John, the only thing I can say is “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” What you’ve accomplished in this year is nothing short of incredible. You and Hank have brought together such an amazing group of people. Thank you for letting us get to know you, to laugh with you, learn with you and, most of all, decrease world suck with you. Thank you for being you. You, Hank and Brotherhood 2.0 have made an extremely unjokes year for me extremely jokes and full of awesome. The day I stumbled upon the Accio Deathly Hallows video was one of the greatest lucks of my life. I’ll miss your vlogs, but thank you for everything you’ve left behind.
Don’t forget to be awesome!
Yours in Nerdfighting,
Catherine
Thanks guys. I’m gonna keep watching y’all. Nerdfighters will never end.
John, nice eyebrows.
Wow…The end already huh?
All good things must do that I suppose, and it’s certainly been a good time.
Thanks John, for devoting your time and effort into this. I think I speak for all nerdfighters when I say we really appreciate it, and you and Hank made this year absolutley amazing.
Maybe we’ll see you again sometime.
DFTBA
I really, really hope that nerdfighters can live on without the videos.
Yes, I’ve liked the videos. I’ve enjoyed the Scavenger hunt, the songs, the punishments, the secret project and the awesome.
But the best thing was the nerdfighters.
In My Pants, I’ve found people to talk to who I never would have spoken to in real life. I’ve got book recommendations, (thank you, Twilight was amazing), debated subjects that most of my friends wouldn’t understand, and learnt a lot.
There’s only one video left until the end of Brotherhood 2.0.
But nerdfighters is forever.
DFTBA
________________________________________________________
Hank, please sing my Accio Deathly Hallows or It’s Too Hot sequel. I will not post this message again, but I would really appreciate it if you just mentioned me in a video. Please?
So sad……. I really hope they will still post occasional videos even if its not every week day anymore.
I had tears in my eyes…. so sad….
dftba john
I cried. I’m going to miss this so much…I’ve been watching since January, and it’s going to be so weird not having that to look forward to everyday. I mean, it really did decrease WorldSuck. (not to say that nerdfighters are incapable of decreasing worldsuck on their own, because clearly, we’re fully capable.)
I feel like it’s a conversation that’s being cut short, like on Tuesday, we should still be talking about the political situation in Pakistan (which, I do believe deserves more attention. it really does suck.), but we’re not. But thank you. Thank you for making all of this awesome happen.
DFTBA,
Rachel
I’m sad that its all ending… but on the bright side my girlfriend can stop being jealous of the Brothers Green now.
I’ll miss you guys!
i think i’m crying.
DFTBA John.
I’m crying. John Green, you seriously are my hero.
Thank you, and good bye John Green, you have both seriously changed how I live my life for the better.
So yeah John… I read the entirety of Looking for Alaska last night because I promised myself I would finish it before the end of Brotherhood 2.0….. and I did! and well you are kinda a rockin’ author and I must now go find myself a copy of An Abundance of Katherines….
Nerdfighters HOOOO HAAAAAH!
Okay, did it not seem like he was going to cry at the very beginning when he said I always feel surprised?
It sounded lke his voice cracked.
Geez if it makes both of you that sad wy don’t you do anoher year?????? I mean by stopping, no one’s happy.
I was 11 on August 23 this year and I didn’t tell jokes like that at all. In fact, I had found the difference between stupid and funny.
I really didn’t think that I was going to be this upset over the end of Brotherhood 2.0. It’s really crazy how sad but also insanely happy I am right now. The other nerdfighters have already expressed exactly the way I feel. Brotherhood 2.0 has changed me and made me believe in people again. Thank you, John and Hank.
Aw John..I’m so upset…Brotherhood 2.0 has been a huge and awesome part of my life since I discovered it last June…I don’t know what I’m going to do without it! I know I’m always going to keep nerdfighting!
DFTBA!!!!
As someone who has watched every single video and began in January when there was no such thing as nerdfighting, let me assure you that this project has made an enormous impact in my life. I had long lost the belief in people that you and Hank are so focused on, and I felt like humankind as a whole was really just going downhill. But with things like the Project for Awesome, I now believe in the power of humans to change things for the better once again. Thank you, John, for your dedication to Brotherhood 2.0 and for not giving up.
Also, thank you to the Yeti for putting up with all of John’s hijinks throughout the duration. It must have gotten annoying at times, but you and he stuck it through.
Goodbye to half of Brotherhood 2.0. Thanks for all you did.
Faith
Your Welcome.
ben.
It doesn’t have to end!!! Continue B20!!! Please!!! I’ve been here ever since July 18th… and I don’t want it to end!!
i’m going to cry
Just, thanks. Thanks John and Hank for a wonderful year, and bringing all us nerdfighters together (and giving us a name). This project was amazing, and congrats on making it all the way to the end!! NFTBA
Okay…I’m about to cry…
While I’ll desperately miss this project, I glad you have built such a strong communtiy where all nerdfighters can edify on each other’s awesome. I will definitely stay in my pants and be a loyal nerdfighter to the end of time.
While I now realize that it’s useless to beg for you to continue the project, I do humbly suggest that you continue making videos every once in a while and hopefully show us the Yeti sometime.
Thank you so much for the community you have created. Never ever forget to be awesome as long as you live. I’ll miss you, John!
Wow…. I cant believe its well…. over…. everyday i would wake up, or come home from school and go to www.brotherhood2.com to see John and Hank. You guys are so wonderful and funny. And i bet to everyone here , on Brotherhood 2.0, really felt like we knew you guys.
I guess what im really getting at here, is im really going to miss you two…
Thank you so much for what you guys have done. And NEVER EVER FORGET TO BE AWESOME!
I Love John and Hank!
~Brittany~ (nerdfighter 4 life!)
John
I just want to say thank you for everything. without you and hank I would have never been proud to be a nerd who reads ALOT. and I’m just so sad that its ending. and that this is your last video. you guys were something I could look forward to every day after school. and seriously…you guys made me crack up. you guys are hilarious. and so smart. how am I going to know whats going on in the world without you guys to fill me in on current events. like the political situation in nepal?
im looking forward to your next book becuase ive been a fan for years.

NFTBA
If you wish it didn’t have to end at all. Why is it ending?
Don’t forget to be awesome.
I’m crying, too, guys. This is so sad.
There is now a huge lump in my throat.
John… thanks for carrying this project through to the end.
It means so much to so many people.
Don’t forget to be awesome, all of you.
Wow John…I still can’t believe this is the last video. As a person who’s been here from the begining, I will truly miss the daily vlogs. Though I didn’t comment much, I really do appreciate all that you did. You made me laugh, you made me cry and you also made me think deeply about life in general (and that’s a big accomplishment, coming from from me!) So overall, thanks again, for a wonderful year.
DFTBA,
ThunderChild
This was a beautiful ending to your videos, John.
Whenever I’ve finish rereading either of your books, I’ve noticed how perfectly you end them.
I had never cried after reading a book before Looking for Alaska, and I’ve never cried from a youtube video until now.
You’re a wonderful writer, and a wonderful human being.
I can’t wait until your next book.
You guys have changed the world.
That was a great ending john, i only wish it didnt have to be.
I loved watching every minute of your videos, and i cant wait for the great things you will continue to do.
Cheers,
NERDFIGHTERS!
The video wasn’t working for me when I tried to watch it last night, but finally.
After 200 comments from people telling you they are crying or on the verge of tears, or else they are guys so they are just really really sad… here’s another.
WHY! Why must you end it!? I cannot go on! No, I can, but it’ll just be a little less Nerdfighter-y. Which is never a happy thought.
Best. Year. Ever.
I’ve been watching since January. Never commented, never signed up in My Pants, but I’ve seen every single video and enjoyed all of them. You guys make me want to do things that don’t suck with people that don’t suck. And also, to finish things I start–like John, I am an expert at not doing that, and at first I’ll admit I was skeptical about the idea of this going on for an entire year. But you pulled it off and that makes me really excited.
Thanks, brothers Green. A shy, lurking nerdfighter from New Jersey salutes you.
OH ALSO:
I understand that B2.0 will officially be over after Hank’s next video (and I totally understand it–you’ve done some great stuff with the project but it’s definitely a commitment), but does anyone think there might be a chance of an ongoing nerdfighter project? Something along the lines of the secret sibling videos? I can definitely see the whole worldwide nerdfighter community exchanging vlogs on everything from the (admittedly sucky) political sitch in Pakistan to nerdfighting songs to in your pants jokes. Thoughts?
I hope you found your satisfaction.
I can’t believe this is over. I’ve been a nerdfighter since birth, but after ACCIO DEATHLY HALLOWS…that’s when I found brotherhood 2.0 and found myself as a nerdfighter. My little brother and I have totally bonded over watching these videos, and he gave me a NERDFIGHTER shirt for christmas. it was exciting. We’re going to miss you guys soooo sooo much, and we’ve made a deal to make our own (weekly!) videos when I go off to college in the fall.
Thank you Green Brothers for decreasing World Suck, and bringing together nerdfighters everywhere.
We’ll miss you.
………a harry potter-loving band geek who is incredibly happy to be a nerdfighter!
HANK IS LAATE!!! IT IS 12:02AM. PUNISHMENT: another YEAR of the Brotherhood!!!
Hey John. Hank I didn’t know were else to put it but listen, I made this site…well you should check it out for yourself it’s www.nerdfighter.piczo.com
Is it odd that the fact that this was our last video makes me want to cry and vomit in equal increments? I’m feeling incredibly depressed now. John, I’ve gone my entire life without ever getting a crush on or being completly infatuated with any celebrity or person that isn’t pretty much my best friend. I had a 20 year record and you broke it. I love you guys. I really do. I love the people you both seem to be and I love you both for showing that us nerds aren’t so few. Thank you for making it absolutly undeniably crystal clear how many incredible people there really are out there, and how much they can do when they get together. You’ve started your own little revolution of sorts. Be proud. You’re amazing, and more jokes than you could ever imagine. But I guess that’s to be assumed since you’re both made of Awesome. Congratulations on everything.
All my love (and everyone elses),
Suzanne
P.S. My sister got me Looking For Alaska for christmas this year; I finished it a couple days ago. I litterally laughed and sobbed in almost equal measure, and still am very sad that it’s over. I guess I’m no good with endings. I can’t wait to get Katherines and Paper Towns (hurry uppppp!!!)
You’re an impressive man Mr. Green.
(Post Post script - I was probably way too excited to actually have a picture of you.)
I’ll miss this so much. Rock on NerdFighters! Forevah!
Ok so I couldn’t figure out how to e-mail you guys and I really really wanted to share this with you because I know Cassie never would. Cassie is one of my best friends in the world and was the person who introduced me to you guys and resorted my faith in man kind.
Anyways back to the original reason why I put this comment up here. Cassie wrote a really awesome Xanga entry enterly about you two and I really think that you should check it out!!!
http://www.xanga.com/Realmer06
THANKS for everything that you guys have done for all the nerdfighters out there!
That made me very happy/sad, and, fittingly, I both hate and love things that make me happy/sad. Endings are always hard, but I’m glad all the nerdfighters are here to share this ending, which, fittingly, is also really a beginning.
Nerdfighters, hoo-ha!
When everything is wrong I’ll come talk to you
You make things alright when I’m feeling blue
You are such a blessing and I wont be messing
with the one thing that brings light to all of my darkness
You’re my best friend
and I love you, and I love you
Yes I do….
Thanks for a great year mate!
Wait, did none of you call the number?
I did, but after I posted my comment. I wanted to post my feelings before I went on to finish the scavenger hunt, not knowing what it would be…
Wow.
My life is offically over now.
NEVER BEFORE have I felt this kind of a let down.
DON’T DO IT!
(It doesn’t have to be this way!!)
Thanks for the good times guys.
John, looking forward to the next book.
I like snork (snort+laugh=’s snork? wow. why did we ever make that up?????) every five seconds reading “Kathrines.”
PLEASE DO A VIDEO FOR THE FIRST OF THE YEAR FOR MY 18 BIRTHDAY???????
“The baby’s like almost one now.”
-me.
“Oh.”
-sister.
I also want to say that that I came on to the project as an observer after Accio Deathly Hallows. I have said before that I really love what you guys are putting out into the universe. Really good vibes. And i agree with all that has been said about connecting with people who may not always agree, but are really nice people, who really want the world to be better, and are by and large committed to doing their little part to make the world a lot better in the aggregate.
thank for the year of laughs. I hope that we will have a chance to watch you guys embarrass or maim yourselves again.
Best of luck.
Mordechai (the nerdfighter rabbi)
how sad. i hate endings like this,
but you’ve made my year hilarious and i’ve never laughed harder while watching your videos. Now I can happily run around my neighborhood with one or all of your books screaming, ‘I KNOWWW HIMM!!’ Yes. It is just that cook. I feel like you are now a part of my life and I really don’t wish for you to leave, alas, all good things must come to an end. It was great to meet you John.
I’m sure Katherine and Sara(h) are breathing huge sighs of relief right about now. Enjoy having a little more time to spend with your wives and just making videos when you feel like it, not when you have to.
Thanks for being a great example of what adult siblinghood can look like. I have two brothers and I’m closer to one of them (he bums off of me all the time) while the other one lives a few states away and I rarely see him. We don’t even know each other anymore, and like you said, my mental image of him is frozen when he was a kid at 12 instead of as an adult at 19. I really need to make the effort to get to know him again.
Thanks for everything. I’ll see you when I see you.
I don’t really know what to do.
You guys are amazing. Thanks for hours of smiles and laughs, and giving me a faith in this world that I maybe didn’t have before, or if I did, it was slowly diminishing. Your gooniness makes me less scared to really become an adult (I’m 19). I’m pretty goony myself, and the last thing I want is to have to loose that, ever.
Basically… thanks for making life seem a little bit brighter.
I wish the best of luck to both of you, and I hope we hear from you even in the new year.
I will not cry. I will not cry. I will not cry.
I will cry. especially on Monday.. but it’s a good cry, I suppose. Thank you John, thank you Hank and thanks to all the Nerdfighters. I know that even though the project is ending we’ll all continue to decrease world suck on a daily basis. The entire Brotherhood 2.0 project was something completely amazing in upon itself, but what it has created, apart from the videos, is even more amazing; the incredible group of viewers. I am glad to have been a part of something like this, and I am so glad to have been allowed into your lives for just one year Hank and John.
you’re the best. we’ll never FTBA because of you guys.
thanks again,
-meg
thanks, guys.
John and Hank,
I just don’t know what to say! First off, thanks John for almost makin me cry…but I keep on watching the last video over and over again like there is going to be more. Congrats to the both of you for putting together one the best project for awesome the world has ever seen.
I really don’t know what I’m going to do with out my daily dose of awesome as I feel my awesome levels dropping as we speak.
I wouldn’t be mad if there was a brotherhood 2.1 or 3.0 or whatever…but I know it was a great sacrifice for the both of you so I’ll just say thank you so much for your time, and sharing with us.
Nerdfighters FTW!
DFTBA
See I didn’t spell it right because it wasn’t true. You didn’t put together ONE of the best projects for awesome, it was THE best PROJECT for awesome.
*sniffle*
Ok, now I really want to cry.
Okay, I got through the whole video without tears…until that little *look* at the end.
Why, John Green, Why?
I’m gonna miss this. alot.
What I always liked about your videos was how smart and funny you both are and how apparent the love you two have for each other is.
Your parents must be so proud.
you know that whole not center thing. you’re throwing us off! how dare you mess w/ our emotions like that!!!
I think it could be very beautiful with the ideas being you guys.. but also it including others. I would very much love to see you include maureen and other writerly friends as well as daniel biss and all the awesome people of nerdfighter quality who are actually out there decreasing world suck.
This is the most powerful project I have ever prided myself on being semi-involved with and I wish I could let you guys know just how much it makes me smile.
oh my gosh. John this was so such an awesomely sad yet funny video… i just cant believe it is almost over… i looked forward to your videos every day.. yes everyday…. i looked on the weekends… because i love them so much.

O god. Must hold back the tears. Lol. I just wanted to let you guys know that your videos helped me stay sane in my first semester at college. I was really far from home without a car and I had almost no friends. Brotherhood 2.0 kept me going that first semester and, more importantly, kept me sane!
