Brotherhood 2.0: January 26, 2007
In which John finishes the survey, discusses babies, makes a gratuitous "In Your Pants" joke, and puts on his invisibility cloak.
n.b.: Commenter Little Willow said the puppet should have eyes. Ask, and ye shall receive.
Oh man, someone else who hates brushing their teeth! I've tried explaining this to people, and they just give me odd looks...
Looks that are odder than usual, I mean.
And that really was a good survey. Bravo to Hanky (Am I going to die for calling him that? Should I hide?) for writing it. Hurrah to you for making the anwsers so gigglesome. Yay.
Had I known puppets were going to play such an integral role in Brotherhood 2.0, I might have been able to offer up some professional assistance . . . though the puppet/Yeti is doing an awesome job.
COME ON, green. what ever happened to lincoln square? i think you USED to call it, "the greatest neighborhood in the great united states of america". what happened, john? what happened? (shakes head)
OBVIOUSLY you need to come back and visit (don't forget to get me those dates) so you can remember how spectacular it is.
Hi John and the Yetti, we hope this works b/c we are not too savvy at this whole world wide of the web thing. We have been thoroughly enjoying your video blog stuff.
We don't have much to offer b/c we have been mostly reading baby books lately. Here are some of our favorites:
Brown bear, brown bear...in your pants; Pat the Bunny...in your pants; The Ugly Duckling...in your pants; Babar and the Wully-Wully...in your pants; and, of course, the very controversial,
So, I've been watching Brotherhood 2.0 since the very first episode and it has easily become a part of my daily routine. This is my first time commenting, and I really got the urge to because you mentioned Jim and Pam. I am new to The Office (like one and a half weeks-from what I've read about it on your blog and what my friends said, I figured I'd try it) and while I love every part of the show, Jim and Pam is basically what kept me watching the first two seasons in one sitting. And what made me find all the episodes from season three to catch up. They have made me friggin obsessed. So that would be a perfect day for me too: when they finally hook them up. Jim and Pam deserve each other, because they both are so awesome. I can't wait for the new one next Thursday. And for the new installment of Brotherhood 2.0 on Monday.
Geez, pirates totally pwn ninjas. They dont have to eat their vegtables. Ninjas may strike fast, but pirates would break their legs with crazy canon fire. just sayn'.
Speaking of books written for teens, Doing It (which has a cover that is uncomfortably too much like coming somewhere close to looking up a teenage girl's skirt, a questionable cover choice I may editorialize) in my pants.
*squeals in a way that she hasn't for at least 12 years*
John said "The Blind Assassin... In your Pants!"
I guess this will use up my 15 minutes of fame by association. Oh well. The confused looks of the faces of my parents when I tried to explain it all to them was enough for me.
Your description of dietetic ice cream was quite appropriate. Although you should try the Splenda-version of popsicles, creamsicles and fudgesicles -- they're better than some of the nastiness that WW recommends.
In Your Pants is my new favorite game. Here are some more (sorry for any repeats):
100 Years of Solitude in Your Pants The Sound and the Fury in Your Pants A Good Man is Hard to Find in Your Pants The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People in Your Pants A Girl's Gotta Do What a Girl's Gotta Do in Your Pants Don't Sweat the Small Stuff in Your Pants Mrs. Nelson is Missing in Your Pants
Hurrah! I have given the gift of sight to a puppet! Well, inspired. I don't have really that kind of power.
Air and Human Hope: I think you've just found your next book title.

Ha. I just realized that in my deliriousness last night, I got the name of your awesome game wrong. My contribution should be Things Fall Apart...in Your Pants. That's way better, anyway, than if they fell apart in mine.
Yay, the first mention of JAM on the vlog!!
ReplyDeleteIs Hank Team Pam?

Loved the puppet's new eyes.
ReplyDeleteBrotherhood 2.0 is making me dread the weekends. Simply because I have to go two whole days without any vblogs.
there MAY be a condensed Week 2 to view by tomorrow at noon... so check back tomorrow for sure.
ReplyDeletemaybe even a condensed condensed highlight reel.

ReplyDeleteYeah, both of John Green's titles work well with the pants game.
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S why he can't think of one for his third book! He needs it to work just as hilariously as the two previous ones did!
now it all makes sense.
I would just like to say that North Carolina is indeed the best place to live!!
ReplyDeleteJohn, you have four months to move to North Carolina, so that I can enjoy being in the same state as you.
