    I remember when I became a nerdfighter by that title, and my mother expressed concern. "Who is this John Green character, and what is this weird cult you're following these days?"
    And I tried to explain to her that we're all about spreading awesome and decreasing world suck, and she still seemed concerned. My story for the day.

      i actually had a kinda similar experience (almost kinda). This girl I know from college, who thinks she is always right and always knows everything about everything, heard that I was a nerdfighter and she went on this looooong rant about how the green brothers were essentially creepy cult leaders who brainwash teenage girls and I was like "have you ever seen one of their videos?" and she said no. sigh.

    No Nerdfighterian Olympians? We play Quidditch! That's an Olympic sport! Right...right?

  • @anierrn6935

    We should make Quidditch an official sport and include it in the Olympics.

      QurttoRco Quidditch IS a thing! maybe not a qualified sport but they have Quidditch teams in a lot of English universities, Oxford being one of them :) we just use normal broomsticks instead of flying ones... we keep them clamped between our thighs lol

    Honestly, I think it would be pretty cool to qualify for archery at the Olympics. As far as I can tell, the US has never had a female archer competing solo. But I may have overlooked something there, because that just doesn't seem right! But anyway, nerdy archers FTW.

    Gymnastics has always been my favourite sport, the fact that Jenni's a nerdfighter made it even more awesome. I almost screamed at my office computer when she did the nerdfighter sign after her floor routine! This is SO awesome!=D

    Jennifer Pinches is amazing! Thank you so much to her and all the GB gymnastics team for representing our country so well in the Team Final yesterday.

  • @Floatout2sea
    @Floatout2sea 12 років тому

    The fact that NBC didn't show Jennifer Pinches' floor routine was a CRIME! Watched it on the BBC website and she was just so happy and excited to be there, representing her country IN her country. It was beautiful to watch. And when she finished, watching her tell her coaches "I couldn't hear the music!" because everyone was cheering so loudly for her... priceless.

    Ahh I just figured out another reason I love vlogbrothers videos. You guys don't punctuate your sentences with "ums" "ers" and other nonsense fillers. That's a skill I have yet to master. So envious!
    Also Jenny never forgets to be awesome.

    Me and my husband where watching the gymnastics team finals supporting team GB and we saw her make the hand gesture and we both shouted DFTBA at our tv, she infact did it twice. It was seriously awesome though, such a huge moment to feel the interconnoective power of nerdfightaria.

    haha I love how you just have an idea and then take it to the wildest extremes... fannagiling your way into the olympics by just barely qualifying is something i have pondered very recently. You just go on and on and on, and I love it. Even having a slogan for the movie they're going to make after your team. John, you are a beautiful person, and you remind me of myself, lol. DFTBA!!

  • @Liv55555
    @Liv55555 12 років тому

    I've found her routine on BBC iplayer, if you search for 'Olympics Women's Gymnastics' it's the final, and her routine's at about 1hr 13mins and if you hang on for a bit you'll see her do the nerdfighter sign :) Jenny, you're amazing for doing that in front of so many people (if you're reading this) :)

I didn't think anything would shock me into a laugh more than when at my firends house we went to get the mail and discovered her mail in a mailbox which was sitting IN her mailbox...

    1. Ancient Olympics have an event on poetry. Since you are a novelist, I think you will qualify, John. All we have to do is to petition for poetry in Olympics.
    2. Treadmills don't build muscles, it reduces fat. You have to strength build to have build on your muscles.
    3. Also, you have to run on the treadmill to be fit enough for any sport. Good luck nerding out while running.
    Also, it is quite refreshing to see you walk.

    John, I've loved your videos for almost 2 years now. And I adore your personality and all your insightful videos. But one of the reasons I really watched your videos is because they were informal, and this video reminds me a whole lot of your Crash Course videos - the editing, your infliction, and just the overall appearance. I love your videos and always will - I'm just saying that you should keep your original style of making them because it was really nice. Thanks -- great video, anyway!

    When I clicked on this video, I must've clicked a suggestion. I clicked over to Twitter and when I clicked back to the tab I assumed had the video, I was watching a cat.
    There for a moment I was a bit worried about the ergh...quality of video you had just made. I seriously watched the whole thing thinking you would pop up. I say the whole thing but probably only a minute out of it until the cat started talking about going on a date and I looked at who posted the video.
    GREAT VIDEO THIS ONE IS.

    To me, the meaning of the Olympics isn't the sport. It is the fact that a planet like ours can still have a competition like this. People unite together from all around the world to watch sports. They met new people, and it is, in the end, a health, awesome competition.
