John, thank you for saying something about the mustache. It's an important issue, and I would trust only the world's leading expert in pizzamas facial hair to speak out on this.
"I don't want to be overly sentimental" - One of the most wonderfully sentimental men on this god-blessed and godforsaken app. I do consider that to be a compliment, I hope you do too
Ah yes, the classic vlogbrothers combo: a parts video that is equal measures sentimental and silly. What an excellent way to round out week one of Pizzamas!
John I was just given the call confirming that Dominos will hire me part time. I seriously would not have applied for this if it wasn't for pizzamas coming up so thanks.
Leave it to John to summarize my exact feelings without even knowing it. I literally cried a little watching Hank dance thinking about that very same thing of him being in good enough health to do so, it feels like such a special blessing to still have him around.
Same. I was balling by the end of Hank's video. I never thought a 40-some year old man with a terrifying mustache, wearing a goofy sweater and dancing would make me weep. It's actually *really* hard for me to cry unless I'm angry, but.....seeing Hank so well just...yeah.
On the fifth day of Pizzamas, Nerdfighters gave to me Five Hanklerfish! Four corndogs Three French the Llamas Two mustachioed Greens And a terrifying Pizza John Tee!
As someone who owns a similar blanket from last years P4A (which is currently across my lap, because it rarely is anywhere else), I cannot sing the praises of it enough. The blanket is very soft, but not *too* soft, like a cheap polyester blanket that loses all its appeal the second you wash it. This blanket only gets softer with time. It is the perfect combination of warming and breathable, keeping cool breezes off of you but not trapping the heat of your body too tightly. It’s also stunning, the designs are beautiful and it works just as well wrapped around you as it does as a display piece on your couch. I love this blanket so much, it’s my second favorite blanket I own (beaten only by my weighted blanket, but that’s not really a fair fight). If you’ve been debating getting this blanket, I assure you it is worth the price. When I die I would like this blanket to come with me, it’s that good. Buy the blanket.
Such a great promo/review for the blanket. I truly want to get one, but I'm being hammered by simultaneous serious financial demands that can't be met. That said, perhaps there's next year. (I don't want to jinx it, lol) Beautiful Friday coaster ride, John. Have to say mint is an excellent choice. Wheat grass would be amazing, too. Then you could make Godzilla kitty vids when your cat eats your hair! 💜✌️😸
John, you’ve talked about how when you were 8, you wrote a diary entry that said, in its entirety “Today was s good day. My brother got sick.” I’m so glad things change. ❤
Love the Octavia Butler shout out. One of my favorite authors. "All that you touch You Change. All that you Change, Changes you. The only lasting truth is Change. God is Change."
I didn’t know how badly I need a Pizzamas shirt in the Eras style or John wearing Ken’s cowboy outfit on a shirt and now I don’t know how I’ve been living without them 😂
This is the second year in a row I’ve accidentally had the video on 1.25 speed and been very impressed with Hank’s dancing. But this year I was even MORE impressed.
Hank dancing so joyously is, indeed, simply wondrous, regardless of context. But the added context of everything he went thru recently makes it mean so much more!
This Pizzamas has made my heart so full. This silly holiday and this amazing community means so much to me. The love and joy here is unmatched. Seeing Hank dance was a celebration and brought tears to my eyes. This pizzamas has felt extra special so far. I'm so glad to be here and experience it all.
I would like to second the "No Mustache Hank" proposal. We are the same age and yet Hank somehow looks oddly like one of my uncles, which just makes me uncomfortable. 😂
Their sibling relationship is so beautiful. I can only imagine what it is like to go through what Hank has gone through. Likewise, I can only imagine what it’s like to be the brother in the wings, worried and then elated with the progress of your sibling’s treatment. I’m very close to my siblings, and I know it would rip me apart a bit.
In 2007 I was 18. I'm now 37, almost twice as old. I don't envy my 2007 self because they knew so little of themselves and of the world. Both the misery and the pleasure of life were mostly ahead of them. I want to hug them. Tell them to be nicer and softer to themselves. I wasn't sure I'd make it to 20. I'm extremely grateful to be who I am today. My very boring, daily joys and sorrows are as varied as the colors of nature.
I hope Hank Green has enough of a rebellious spirit to not fall for peer pressure and wear the moustache they've always wanted. Keep the moustache. Haters gonna hate.
I’ve been watching you and Hank since 2010 when I was in college. You’re one of the most consistent things I’ve stayed with in that time. You continue to help guide me through my increasing adulthood and continue to make me feel hopeful about what parts of my life are still to come. Thank you, John.
I thought it’s time for a new Hank video for a second there. This is my first pizzamas and I’m having such a blast! I ordered so many stuff. ESPECIALLY THE SHIRT YOU’RE WEARING I love it Also I’m so happy Hank is doing well now, and our community is doing great. What a win!
so 1. I think it did bring some pleasure to talk about that goatee 😂 2. you had more time because you had fewer kids and responsibilities! 3.Happy Pizzamas!! 💖🎉
(RING RING) or probably more realistically (BUZZ BUZZ) John: Oh hey, Katherine's calling me. Hello? Katherine: JOHN YOU HAVE TO TELL HANK TO SHAVE THE F***ING MUSTACHE!!!
hard left turn here... but you are not "overly" sentimental when you are gratefull and happy that your brother is cancer free and happy and dancing. you are the right amount of sentimental, john. you would be underly sentimental otherwise. there are moments when being sentimental is the right reaction to the humand condition. love from germany. Chajos.
I am a little disappointed the moustache has not persisted through the entirety of Pizzamas, though going to the UN with that stache may have raised some eyebrows.
A pizzamas stash is a special , fleeting thing . Loved for it's ephemeral quality if for nothing more . Stubbly Hank however could be a lasting motif of sustained growth and welcomed change . Also that line about the manatee is amazing . No notes .
I have a Pizzamas design idea but suck at art, so I'm putting it out into the universe! The foreground is a snowy winter carnival scene with a jolly Pizza John and Hank making pizzas from a brick oven, and nerdfighters are ambling in the snow eating pizza and playing games based on Nerdfighteria. Then in the background, there are giant and twisty rollercoasters to symbolize the emotional journey of Nerdfighteria during these most special two weeks of the year. :)
On the topic of change and adulthood, that was actually something eye opening when I got my MA in developmental psychology. We tend to think of change largely happening in childhood and then adults for the most part don't change, but we actually intuitively know that isn't true. Adults change all the time, most notably when we change for the worse (getting sick, our body breaks down, etc.), but we also move homes, change jobs, maybe change religions, develop hobbies, get married, have kids, change as our children change, and so on. Life is indeed a dynamic ever changing process. And the question is, in this process, when things go well or poorly how do we use that for good? Anyway, thank you for changing the world to be a little better.
May the memory of your sibling be a blessing. In this community, when someone we care about passes away, we have a saying for them: Rest in Awesome. If I may, I hope your sibling rests in awesome. Thank you for being here with us.
You two are why i tell everyone to have two kids if you can. I have no siblings. And doing it on my own with no one to remember the trueness of how i was raised is devastating. No one to remember the happy times or sad times from different angles. No one to help when parents age or get sick. Your love and closeness fill me with joy.
I am very glad for John's sanity that he didn't attempt to make "the entire history of Chia Pets" as he briefly postulated in his live-streamed Pizzamas... I would have watched the shit out of it, but I much appreciate the familiar heart-felt John voice. Feels nice for my own self-esteem that John didn't anxiety-produce a video in a magical amount of time that doesn't exist. Thanks for taking it down a notch UN-speaker John, so we can all catch up a little. Sending encouragement to nerdfighters for next work week: Do what's possible not what your anxiety is telling you should be possible.
The only thing I want from Pizzamas mustaches is at least one Crash Course/ SciShow/etc episode with them. It’s truly a crime that the post-goatee Hank stache was never on SciShow
I started watching vlogbrothers regularly in 2012 and I remember being so embarrassed it had taken me so long to get into it, how behind I was. Now of course I’d be considered a relatively early nerdfighter and as someone with a tendency to give up before things get started, that experience has been really useful.
You know you've been a part of this community for a hot minute when upon reading this title your first though is immediately "...does it come to us in 4 parts?"
Seeing John with his little gray hairs and the tshirt with his younger self made me realize how much older he’s gotten as I’ve watched him - and that made me reflect on how much older I’VE gotten while I watched him. It’s been lovely growing together. I appreciate how Hank and John’s content has shifted as my values have matured.
Part 4 made me feel weird. I was pointed to your videos around 2012-13, when I was 17 or 18. I watched EVERY video (even someone else's reupload of 2 January 2007) and then subscribed in 2015. At the start of Brotherhood 2.0, I specifically remember you were 29, and that age felt very adult and mature to me. Truly, your age back then was somehow cemented in my memory, far more than Hank being 26. In January, I'll turn 29, and it does not at all feel adult and mature. The train truly keeps going.
I have really appreciated this whole journey to end TB. Previously, I knew it was still a problem but I did not know how many people still got it and was shocked to learn the numbers were as high as they are. Thank you for bringing this to people's attention!
Love a classic parts video. Also you are strong for making our mustache concerns known ashdjkglh Hank we are happy for you but the mustache must not live on past next week.
the only lasting truth is change. and one of the things that needs to change is hank's mustache. also, i can't wait for next year's pizzamass, when i bet we will get some hank's mostache inspired merch.
Don't let them peer pressure you out of the mustache, Hank. It's a hard-earned mustache and you keep it around as long as you wish no matter how weird!
I voted to keep the video lengths capped at 4 minutes but I'm so happy that so many others voted to uppercut it out of the stadium. Thank you Nerdfighteria. Thank you Vlogbrothers.
Interesting quote of 2023! "Distance between my current self and my 2017 self..." "Human life is like a bullet train that rocketed you through all of these spectacular environments before arriving at the end of the train line which is called adulthood and then you got off the train and you just stood there at the station until death came for you..." ///My past self, if it had known what my life would be like in the future... well, I wisely pass those things onto my kids, which, are in reality a lot like young versions of myself... ;-) ///nice use of words John. It's always a linguistically delight to hear you put together words and form sentences that share how you feel. I concur that life indeed feels that way, and, you're right, it shouldn't stop. We should ride and joy in that train till the last breath of the last day and only by then we will only have hoped that we have overcome the foolish notion to be childish, and to have become as a little child, ever learning, ever humble, ever meek, ever serving, ever loving, ever kind, ever gleeful, ever encouraging, ... the only thing that separates our dreams of these things becoming everlasting, for real, is overcoming our own ignorance on how those things are actually obtained and submitting ourselves to the forces that hold the keys over the dissemination of happiness of eternity.
3:10 For me it was the other way around, when I was in my child and young self, there was always something changing about me, and some things that I was not allowed to choose for myself until I was an adult, and when I finally am an adult, though I can finally choose things for myself, and I change less painfully than as a teen, I still change. Basically, as an adult, I feel like it turns out the train is still going, but I kind of like where it's going through, so I don't mind so much that it's still moving.
Seeing Hank dancing felt like letting out a deep breath I didn’t know I was holding in. Absolutely elated to see him feeling good. I can only imagine the relief your family feels.
John, in your last video you spoke about Treha (I can’t find her spelling) and how she sued her government and won. In a spirit similar to Esther Day, I think a day delicated to all the people who fought against it in her honor would be great.
John, thank you for this one and for Hank and you creating our community. Your thoughts here perfectly describes how I have been reflecting and feeling lately. One of my dearest friends told me recently that I have been stuck looking backward, and 2007-2010 moments have been so intrusive in my thoughts recently. I will try to look forward to the wondrous and not be intimidated by the future. Pizzamas is one of my favorites, but P4A is just the best.
Something lovely about each time you talk about how you think now vs how you used to think, because more and more each year I find I relate less and less to 2007 you's perspective and more to current you's perspective. You're a person I've looked up to for a very long time, so it makes me feel optimistic about my own future to see how the years have impacted you in such a way.
this week is genuinely the happiest i’ve been in a long time. pizzamas is truly the most wonderful time of the year. I cried during hanks video on Tuesday, and I even got an eras shirt of my own :) So thank you so much for bringing this wonderful celebration into this world and here’s to more Pizzamas to come!

Hank, if you want the mustache, you keep the mustache. Don’t let anybody get you down. Your hair is for your enjoyment.
To be honest, hard left turns in tone are a large part of why I've been so into this for 15 years
The emotional range in this video is wild. A real rollercoaster to touch on all these vastly different points.
I didn’t know how badly I need a Pizzamas shirt in the Eras style or John wearing Ken’s cowboy outfit on a shirt and now I don’t know how I’ve been living without them 😂
I just bought them both 😂😂😂

I’m sitting in a hospital getting chemo for Hodgkins at this moment, and I too am happy to see Hank dancing and so well.
i hope it works and you too are dancing soon!
Thanks, me too!
This is the second year in a row I’ve accidentally had the video on 1.25 speed and been very impressed with Hank’s dancing. But this year I was even MORE impressed.

Did not expect a Prof reference in a Vlogbrothers ever :) Also point number 2, absolutely, to watch Hank dance was as heartwarming as it can get.
In 2007 I was 18. I'm now 37, almost twice as old.
I don't envy my 2007 self because they knew so little of themselves and of the world. Both the misery and the pleasure of life were mostly ahead of them.
I want to hug them. Tell them to be nicer and softer to themselves.

The mustache need not end, Hank. It need not end! Rage, rage against the dying of the 'stache!

As someone who didn't have respectable facial hair until his 30s, I'm afraid I must stand proudly as pro-Hankstache.
This will become one of those issues that divides our community... like is butt legs all over again.
Keeeeep itttttt
I concur! Let it stay!
I dunno, I think without a full head of hair, Hank probably could pull off a goatee now. Like a kinder Walter White
I hope Hank Green has enough of a rebellious spirit to not fall for peer pressure and wear the moustache they've always wanted. Keep the moustache. Haters gonna hate.
The fact that John Green knows who Prof is and even knows at least some of the lyrics to "Pack a Lunch" by heart has made my week. 👍
2 wrong mustaches don't make a right, but 3 hard lefts do
I’ve been watching you and Hank since 2010 when I was in college. You’re one of the most consistent things I’ve stayed with in that time. You continue to help guide me through my increasing adulthood and continue to make me feel hopeful about what parts of my life are still to come. Thank you, John.

John w/o glasses feels like an illegal image lol
You know you've been a part of this community for a hot minute when upon reading this title your first though is immediately "...does it come to us in 4 parts?"
Five years from now, people coming back to watch your videos should be able to tell which ones are Pizzamas by thumbnail-stache alone.
Seeing John with his little gray hairs and the tshirt with his younger self made me realize how much older he’s gotten as I’ve watched him - and that made me reflect on how much older I’VE gotten while I watched him. It’s been lovely growing together. I appreciate how Hank and John’s content has shifted as my values have matured.
Exhibit A should have been Katherine's appalled reaction face.

I concur that life indeed feels that way, and, you're right, it shouldn't stop. We should ride and joy in that train till the last breath of the last day and only by then we will only have hoped that we have overcome the foolish notion to be childish, and to have become as a little child, ever learning, ever humble, ever meek, ever serving, ever loving, ever kind, ever gleeful, ever encouraging, ... the only thing that separates our dreams of these things becoming everlasting, for real, is overcoming our own ignorance on how those things are actually obtained and submitting ourselves to the forces that hold the keys over the dissemination of happiness of eternity.
HE DOES LOOK LIKE SOFT PROF.
Absolutely love Prof and your reference.
3:10 For me it was the other way around, when I was in my child and young self, there was always something changing about me, and some things that I was not allowed to choose for myself until I was an adult, and when I finally am an adult, though I can finally choose things for myself, and I change less painfully than as a teen, I still change. Basically, as an adult, I feel like it turns out the train is still going, but I kind of like where it's going through, so I don't mind so much that it's still moving.
Seeing Hank dancing felt like letting out a deep breath I didn’t know I was holding in. Absolutely elated to see him feeling good. I can only imagine the relief your family feels.
This video is basically whiplash: pizzamas version
Happy Pizzamas, Green brothers! Never stop dancing, at least for another 16 years.
2:14 tbh, i thought that was hank for a second
The Hankstache is amazing, and I feel that if Hank wants to keep it as a celebration of his victory over cancer that's between him and Katherine.
dear hank.
keep that mustache and live your dream.
sincerely,
a mustachioed youtube commenter.
you bite your tongue sir! Goatee!Hank is awesome
Hank dancing was my biggest take away from that video too. So much joy and happiness
I presented to the mustach court evidence item #3

John, in your last video you spoke about Treha (I can’t find her spelling) and how she sued her government and won. In a spirit similar to Esther Day, I think a day delicated to all the people who fought against it in her honor would be great.
John, thank you for this one and for Hank and you creating our community. Your thoughts here perfectly describes how I have been reflecting and feeling lately. One of my dearest friends told me recently that I have been stuck looking backward, and 2007-2010 moments have been so intrusive in my thoughts recently. I will try to look forward to the wondrous and not be intimidated by the future. Pizzamas is one of my favorites, but P4A is just the best.
I agree PizzaHank is certainly a Pizzamas occurrence only.
I also think bearded Hank should make a reappearance, perhaps often 🤔.
Octavia Butler but also Barbie: "Oh, honey, that's life. It's all change." 😭😭😭
John ragging on Hank’s stache is proof that the world has returned to some semblance of normality. Love y’all, happy pizzamas!😊
Can't believe John roasted a man with cancer alive. RIP Hank, you were a beloved member of the community. /j
Did not have john name-dropping prof on my bingo card
Imagine having your entire community dislaike your having fun with facial hair, and then your brother becomes the leader of that sentiment.
A parts video!! Missed these.
I'd like to request posters as an option for next year's pizzamas. I really love the art but I have too many t shirts!
That's why I always do the sticker pack! All the excellent designs, less shirt drawer space taken.
Props for the Octavia Butler quote. Not only one of my favorite authors, but also one of the muot under appreciated sci-fi writers.
Alice turned u into a swiftie n now I really dream to watch vlogcousins after 15-20 yrs
Something lovely about each time you talk about how you think now vs how you used to think, because more and more each year I find I relate less and less to 2007 you's perspective and more to current you's perspective. You're a person I've looked up to for a very long time, so it makes me feel optimistic about my own future to see how the years have impacted you in such a way.
In 2007 he drank happy meal smoothie for a dare now he blesses us with eras X pizzamas t shirt one thing stays constant: He's made of AWESOME
@@Heather-jp5yu agreed. +++
So excited to hear the Octavia Butler quote! I just read Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents this summer.
3:13 “life is like a bullet train”
Here in, Duckberg!
2:54 Two left turns means you're going back the way you came. Very fitting that you then talked about your past.
this week is genuinely the happiest i’ve been in a long time. pizzamas is truly the most wonderful time of the year. I cried during hanks video on Tuesday, and I even got an eras shirt of my own :)
So thank you so much for bringing this wonderful celebration into this world and here’s to more Pizzamas to come!
John, when you weren't wearing glasses you were blinking a lot to compensate. I felt that so viscerally my eyes started to hurt just watching you.
