I wanted to name my last cat Bilbo, because he liked his baggins...but we ended up calling him Mooch because he would beg for food at the table like the dog.
This is the video I needed in my life. Thank you hank!! Edit: low key freaking out that my name was just uttered on the UA-cam channel that got me into UA-cam in the first place. Everything is possible.
You've officially made it big. Having one million subscribers and lots of press coverage is cool and all, but being mentioned by Hank Green is the true decider of success.
@@rabbitwho At most, you’ve suggested that name. There are only four individuals involved in the final decision of what that cat’s name is: Orin, Hank, Katherine and the cat himself.
woo!! i wore my tie dye pizzamas shirt when i went to the music store a few months ago and JUST when this guy was helping me get my new keyboard in my car he said "i like your shirt!" and of course i didn't say anything 🥲
"It's like a creative vacation where instead of working on work I work on a different kind of work that isn't work" might be the most Hank Green thing Hank Green has ever said.
The kitty IS so cute! I can't wait to hear what name Orin decides on. 🥰. If my kiddo was naming it, it would most certainly be named either "Ute nack" (fruit snack) or "race ar" (race car)
i feel like ute nack would be a p good pet name, bc esp depending on spelling it COULD be like. an obscure word from a foreign language or sth. it's the kind of name ppl meeting you for the first time 5 years down the road say "that's unique! where did you come up with it?" to
"He has tried on a lot of different names; they all fit him differently, but we have not settled on a name yet. But already, I love him so much." This... could be a video in itself. I know I've had many different names that fit me differently, and thankfully, there are people in my life that, whatever they call me, they do it with love. I also have people that I love so much already, whether I've known them a short time or longer, that this makes me think about. I guess I just want to say thanks for the love, vlogbrothers and all of Nerdfighteria. 😊 Happy Pizzamas. ❤🍕
Yes! There's a lot of people who don't recognize the meaning and power of a name, people who have just gone by one name their whole lives without questioning it or it being questioned by others. There's something special about having multiple names across a lifetime or at once.
Yes! I loved the Nickelback thing so much. I think I’m gonna buy something just so I can use that code and indulge in the lols of Nickelback and a whole 5 cents off
Now I'm not sure if there's more to this than I thought or not... I understand that it is offering five cents back and I understand that Nickelback is a band. Have I missed something or was that all there was?

I described vlogbrothers to my friend this week by saying 'you know at the beginning of a sermon when the preacher tells a story and then connects it to a greater idea or theme. That's kind of what they do' And then showed her three videos, spoke about all the books, cried when reading The Anthropocene Reviewed aloud, and my roomate cried telling her about Turtles and then rounded it off with explaining Dear Hank and John. And it all started with me trying to explain a linguistic thing I learned on Crash Course. To me that's what nerdfighteria is, what pizzamas and vlogbrothers and all of it is. All these synapses that make connections between joy and experience and hope and new ideas and sorrow. There was also some exalting of Sarah and how the Art Assignment really did make me feel like I could be an artist and about decreasing world suck and raising funds to improve child mortality in Sierra Leone and a million other rabbit trails of thought. Just like this comment that was going to be short but spiralled out.
I finally am in a position where I can participate in the merch- and let’s face it the La Pizza Mort shirt was too good to pass up! I’m so excited! Thanks for the weirdest holiday.
First for me too! And it was the La Pizza Mort shirt. I fell in love with it, bought one for a friend too. Spouse gets the old man yells at pizza. Wish I could have gotten more.
3:12 "It turns out it's difficult to choose a name when a four year old is involved" **flashback to when I was four and named a cat "Ken Griffey Junior Pablo Sanchez"**
@@fairelvenlady agreed! It gets more hilarious to me when I remembered our cats' names were Patches, Bengal, Sylvia, and then Ken Griffey Junior Pablo Sanchez
I'm a big fan of how my uncle named his dog - after his brother. Which was simultaneously touching, and also hilarious as he commanded [brother's name] to sit, or speak, and triply funny when he trained the dog to get a beer from the fridge for him haha.
I work at a veterinary clinic and my favorite cat name that we had in recently was tetramino! As in the Tetris pieces! It was so cute and suited the cat so well. (my favorite name that we've had though is Soy Sauce, Saucy for short)
Just throwing it out there that in episode 305 of Dear Hank and John, "Pancake" was mentioned as an awesome pet name! Even if Orin isn't partial to it, maybe someone out there in Nerfighteria might benefit from this objectively great pet name.
Someone asked me what Pizzamas was and without hesitation I said an annual charity fundraiser based off a decade-old meme. That’s all you need to know. I love how simple and silly it is even when it doesn’t make sense. 😂 There’s something enchantingly beautiful about a good cause which exists for a fever dream of two weeks each November and then disappears into the wind. So cool. So lovely. So bizarrely mysterious.
I kind of always thought I would have understood pizzamas more if I'd been around when it started, but then I found out my first pizzamas was only the third one ever. And it already felt like such A Thing and I didn't understand at all...so maybe not haha
"Helps us stay under the radar." Hank! You have 3.4 million subscribers. You are sailing in the stratosphere! Thank you for all the beautiful and valuable content. It makes me feel hopeful and secure in this topsy-turvy kind of world we live in today.
I've been watching since 2009 (?) -- used to watch from the library after school because I still had dial-up at home. Commenting for one of the first times to tell about how I named my cats lol Sully stayed under our bed for the first two days so we named him after the Monsters Inc. character. Casper is mostly white and we got him on Halloween, so we named him after a friendly ghost. Friendly monsters as a category seems fitting for cats (and it might help Orin narrow down the options haha)
I love that you don’t feel the need to turn everything into content, like choosing the name for your cat. That is Orin’s choice and it will be something special between you and him. And we will be so happy to hear the name when the time comes if you feel like sharing it ❤️🐈⬛
Omg please let Orin choose Manhole! Though I had a kitten that looked exactly like yours, and I named him TreyBear (quickly shortened to Bear) cause he was the third kitten born, and he looked like a little bear.
Hey Hank and John, I love and appreciate all the fine work you guys do year round, especially at pizzamas. But I also really wish you had sizes that went to 4XL and up in the store. I'd be more than happy to buy a couple shirts every year, but they never fit. Any chance that bigger sizes can be a thing next year/in the future?
i saw that adorable ball of fur and the name "Weeble" popped into my head seems like a good name for a ball of fur. either that or "Manhole" would be perfect!
Also, as lovely as it is to let your 4 year old name your pet, that’s how a family friend ended up with a sheep dog named Ian so… be careful what you wish for
I’ve been a diehard fan of y’all for 10+ years too and this is the first pizzamas where I’ve actually been able to buy something! Looking forward to getting that floral blanket holy moly
I’m having a hard hard day and went into a different room to watch this, I am so so happy about your precious kitty may you be gifted a thousand purrs and occasionally put them on a podcast if you can I originally was waiting til payday today to finally get a pizzamas shirt and I was gonna get the La Mort shirt but… my brother in law unexpectedly died very quickly this morning and we’ve been at the house all day and the only thing we could think to eat was pizza. So, maybe not that shirt. Maybe I’ll just get the ice tray and keep things low stakes and lovely. Idk. I’m just grateful for this little corner of the internet always making me smile and keep hope.
I feel like I’ve listened to so many Delete This! moments where you’ve talk to Katherine about the added stress of Pizzamas and how you needed to make it a time when it was the only thing you’re doing, and I’m so glad to see that you made that a reality for yourself this year!!
I love your cat! He's so cute! Also, I hope the pizza joke texts become a tradition, because those always made me laugh (especially the really awful ones).
the joy of growing up with vlogbrothers since high school is i’ve now graduated college and have a job. and i finally have some money to financially contribute to this community!!
fair enough that we don't get to vote on kitty's name, but i would LOVE to know what some of the other contenders have been! little kids' names for pets are the best
2:20 "The goal isn't productivity it's just making things and seeing if people like them." this is an under appreciated concept that many people will never have the opportunity to experience in there life.
I've been watching y'all for like 7 years but this is the first year I bought pizzamas merch. I feel like this is the exact energy you've presented in this video.
I always thought I was alone in not knowing the reason for the season that is pizzamas. We're all just following the same star but instead of a baby Jesus at the end- theres merch and mustaches!
THANK GOD there's finally an explanation to Pizzamas! I've been following this channel for years now and I've never really understood it, but the videos came so frequent, that I hoped an explanation of it all would pop up someday... *insert and-at-this-point-I'm-afraid-to-ask meme*
“There was a lot of sitting and staring and researching and writing and editing and editing and editing and forgetting about lunch and etc.” the perfect summarization of my college experience so far.
How wonderful that we are so far off the trodden paths of the internet video landscape, and yet this video is firmly on one of them by also being a Cat Video.
I'm very glad you were able to find a kitty! We saw each other briefly at the shelter while you were holding the kitten I'd just adopted hahah. Congrats on your fluffy baby!
Hank, I'm sixteen weeks pregnant and have been struggling with names because none of them feel special or meaningful or right. I've been a Nerdfighter for more than a decade and was wondering if it would be somehow disrespectful or inappropriate to have my baby share a name with your son. It would be spelled Oryn, and would be a subtle reminder of some of the most influential things in my life - you, John, and the Vlogbrothers community as a whole.
Congratulations on your incoming tiny human! I hope you get a response from Hank, but in the meantime--names that are meaningful to you are definitely going to help you make a good choice here, and you have plenty of time to decide. That said, picking a name for a tiny human based on a community that's focused on silliness, imagining people complexly, decreasing world suck, increasing awesome, and pizza--I think that's something really special. I hope your tiny human will also become a nerdfighter in their own time. You also can't go wrong with Ryan. Or Dave. Both excellent names with nerdfighteria in-jokes attached to them. Maybe save manhole for any future pets, though. Best wishes and DFTBA!
Congratulations on your tiny human! Unfortunately the only name currently on my mind is Manhole, which *at best* is a middle name for a child, lol. Maybe you could try out names, use one for a week or two, and see if it "fits", how you and your loved ones feel using it
Maybe pick John or Hank, or a variation of them? Jean, Giovanni, Evan, Ian, Ivan, Jack, Sean, Zane, maybe Jacqueline, Janet, Joan, Jeanne, Janna, Jane, Janice, Jolene, or Hannah for a girl? I remember a video going over how Hank was a derivative of John, and those are derived from that same origin. Except for Hannah, but that sounds similar to Hank (and could possibly be derived from “Johanna”, although it also can trace itself back to “Hana” (flower in Japanese) among other things)
The Nickleback coupon code reminds me of the time John surprised Hank with an offer code midway through Pizzamas so Hank made it worth 1% of the whole order. Good times.
You know what's weird? I've never subbed to vlogbrothers, I only started watching in 2013. And yet, I'm here getting every video in my feed and have watched all of the Pizzamas videos and probably many others besides. I enjoy that I'm consistently invited into the community hangout without getting the membership card, so to speak. Thanks Hank! Happy Pizzamas?
Happy Pizzamas! It's always lovely to have an old friend visit. And if you do ever want the membership card, we'd be happy to have you! If not, come back whenever you like. Don't Forget to be Awesome!
I have mixed feelings about the coupon thing, like I respect the not wanting to punish people who bought things early, but on the other hand there are people who don't have a lot of extra cash, so having a percent off code near the end of Pizzamas on the stock that is still in the shop is a way for those people to still acquire merch. *shrugs* On a completely different note, I have been enjoying these Pizzamas videos and "Kitty" is absolutely precious. I am all anticipation a to find out what Orin decides to name it.
When I watched your first video of Pizzamas I began cheering that Pizzamas began. My husband asked me what that was and I just shrugged and was like "a long running joke... Something about John and pizza? Basically a charity event with limited time merch and daily videos." This has become a thing I get excited for, but couldn't explain why it's so awesome lol.
I have no idea what pizzamas is either, but I enjoy it every year. Very cute kitten. I have to say I love that pizza sneeze shirt. I wish I wasn't missing out on all that cool stuff. Have to stick to a budget. Already looking forward to next year. 😁
You could have easily added 4 more seconds of kitty! This is a disgrace!
No no...you're right...

Congratulations on your new kitty friend, Hank (and Hank's family)!
I always thought I was alone in not knowing the reason for the season that is pizzamas. We're all just following the same star but instead of a baby Jesus at the end- theres merch and mustaches!
THANK GOD there's finally an explanation to Pizzamas!
I've been following this channel for years now and I've never really understood it, but the videos came so frequent, that I hoped an explanation of it all would pop up someday...
*insert and-at-this-point-I'm-afraid-to-ask meme*
there's also an about page on pizzamas.com with a video explaining the origin story! So glad you've got some clarity now. Happy Pizzamas!
C’mon Hank you know full well the cat has to be called Manhole

“There was a lot of sitting and staring and researching and writing and editing and editing and editing and forgetting about lunch and etc.”
the perfect summarization of my college experience so far.
How wonderful that we are so far off the trodden paths of the internet video landscape, and yet this video is firmly on one of them by also being a Cat Video.
I'm very glad you were able to find a kitty! We saw each other briefly at the shelter while you were holding the kitten I'd just adopted hahah. Congrats on your fluffy baby!
Hank, I'm sixteen weeks pregnant and have been struggling with names because none of them feel special or meaningful or right. I've been a Nerdfighter for more than a decade and was wondering if it would be somehow disrespectful or inappropriate to have my baby share a name with your son. It would be spelled Oryn, and would be a subtle reminder of some of the most influential things in my life - you, John, and the Vlogbrothers community as a whole.

Congratulations on your incoming tiny human! I hope you get a response from Hank, but in the meantime--names that are meaningful to you are definitely going to help you make a good choice here, and you have plenty of time to decide. That said, picking a name for a tiny human based on a community that's focused on silliness, imagining people complexly, decreasing world suck, increasing awesome, and pizza--I think that's something really special. I hope your tiny human will also become a nerdfighter in their own time.
You also can't go wrong with Ryan. Or Dave. Both excellent names with nerdfighteria in-jokes attached to them. Maybe save manhole for any future pets, though.
Best wishes and DFTBA!
Congratulations on your tiny human! Unfortunately the only name currently on my mind is Manhole, which *at best* is a middle name for a child, lol.
Maybe you could try out names, use one for a week or two, and see if it "fits", how you and your loved ones feel using it
Maybe pick John or Hank, or a variation of them? Jean, Giovanni, Evan, Ian, Ivan, Jack, Sean, Zane, maybe Jacqueline, Janet, Joan, Jeanne, Janna, Jane, Janice, Jolene, or Hannah for a girl? I remember a video going over how Hank was a derivative of John, and those are derived from that same origin. Except for Hannah, but that sounds similar to Hank (and could possibly be derived from “Johanna”, although it also can trace itself back to “Hana” (flower in Japanese) among other things)
Pizzamas is a national holiday in nerdfighteria
A new cat! Congrtats!
I feel all of that as well. What a lovely place this is. Kitty so cuuute! Can't wait to hear what Orin names him.
So you're telling me we can't unanimously vote to name your cat Kitty McCatface?
Very excited to hear where Orin lands on this kitty name!
Hank's sweet baby cat manhole
I still miss Lemon but so happy for the time you all had her! ♥️
The Nickleback coupon code reminds me of the time John surprised Hank with an offer code midway through Pizzamas so Hank made it worth 1% of the whole order. Good times.
Thought of this as well!
Oh my gosh, your kitten is the most adorable kitten I've ever seen. ❤️
Hank: instead of working on work I work on a different kind of work that isn’t work
Me: **very confused** …got it
My mexican brain worked hard on that one 🤣
Congrats! I’m so happy that you were able to get a new fur baby!
"What is Pizzamas" needs to be an answer (question?) on Jeopardy.
"This UA-cam based weeklong celebration and fundraiser period is based entirely on a moustached picture of famed author John Green"
@@DasGanon perfect!
Kitty is a fluffy cutie!!
I really love the awesome socks club and want to renew but now I have a lot of socks and finite sock drawer space
As a community we have to many vocab words that need explaining haha
“It’s low stakes and it’s lovely” ❤️

Can we highly suggest the nick name "Manhole the cat!"
Ordered the La Pizza Mort t-shirt today! Looking forward to getting it 🥰 Also we need more kitty content, thank you 🐈⬛
"Let's stay under the radar," says man with more than 3 million subscribers 😄
Still waiting for the 2020 Nerdfighteria Census by the way!! 🤔
A lot of them are probably from very old and dead accounts though
You know what's weird? I've never subbed to vlogbrothers, I only started watching in 2013. And yet, I'm here getting every video in my feed and have watched all of the Pizzamas videos and probably many others besides. I enjoy that I'm consistently invited into the community hangout without getting the membership card, so to speak.
Thanks Hank! Happy Pizzamas?
Happy Pizzamas! It's always lovely to have an old friend visit. And if you do ever want the membership card, we'd be happy to have you! If not, come back whenever you like. Don't Forget to be Awesome!
I have mixed feelings about the coupon thing, like I respect the not wanting to punish people who bought things early, but on the other hand there are people who don't have a lot of extra cash, so having a percent off code near the end of Pizzamas on the stock that is still in the shop is a way for those people to still acquire merch. *shrugs*
On a completely different note, I have been enjoying these Pizzamas videos and "Kitty" is absolutely precious. I am all anticipation a to find out what Orin decides to name it.
When I saw that precious cat I yelled “Gaburker!!
i’m fine with having bought early and not having to reference nickelback for a discount. just fine. 👌🏻👌🏻
It's how he reminds us of who we really are! (/j)
When I watched your first video of Pizzamas I began cheering that Pizzamas began. My husband asked me what that was and I just shrugged and was like "a long running joke... Something about John and pizza? Basically a charity event with limited time merch and daily videos." This has become a thing I get excited for, but couldn't explain why it's so awesome lol.
Kitty kitty kitty
Happy Pizzamas everyone. It has been a pleasure like always. I love this community and all it does. ❤
Happy Pizzamas!
First! Happy Pizzamas!

🎵where are we going? I don't know. 🎵
🎵when will we get there? I ain't certain 🎵
🎵all that I know is I am on my way🎵
I have no idea what pizzamas is either, but I enjoy it every year. Very cute kitten. I have to say I love that pizza sneeze shirt. I wish I wasn't missing out on all that cool stuff. Have to stick to a budget. Already looking forward to next year. 😁
