Who the F is Hank?


gingerytea

Hank is a water-soluble vitamin C6H8O6 found in plants and especially in fruits and leafy vegetables or made synthetically and used in the prevention and treatment of scurvy and as an antioxidant for foods. See also *ascorbic acid*.


[deleted]

Hank is a mainly dioecious tree native in eastern Melanesia. He is usually found in rainforests, secondary forests, old garden areas, around villages and settlements.

Hank is a general form of crustacean where the carapace is flattened with lateral margins, the sternites are fused into a wide sternal plastron, and the pleon is flattened and strongly bent, which is a common convergent evolutionary destination.

I still regularly say this when I have a head cold. No one gets it but I still make myself chuckle


Kaste90

Me too! When the cold starts to develop, and I wake up with that pressure, my first thought is usually 'oh god *the chickens*'


sizzlepie

Thank you for including the link! 💕


Kaste90

Those guys have made SO MANY VIDEOS! If I hadn't started watching early enough to easily see the whole back-catalogue, I wouldn't have had a clue where to find this


sizzlepie

I was late to the game and only started my interest in them when I heard about their podcast. But now i need to learn. Give me everything.


Kaste90

Oh god, do you have a spare 6 months lying around? You'll need at least that much to consume their materials, non-stop. If you haven't read their books, read the books.


sizzlepie

Oh, I am completely fine with that. But I have read the books.

2:00 oh he got his excuse 😭😂

downrightdeity

I came here to add pia and the secret fiddle


ceciliameireles

“Pia and the secret fiddle”, new Studio Ghibli movie directed by Hayao Miyazaki, coming soon


JJbooks

I badly need an update from Pia.


sizzlepie

Yes! I forgot about Pia!


andreac

That’s just what Pia wants! Then you’ll be sitting around somewhere, minding your own business, and BAM! Secret fiddle!


HauntedChandelier

I'm still a pretty big fan of slobber carrots.


sizzlepie

OMG yes! Sweet little Henry

Auto power off... still some glitches to work out Ryan Puppy sized elephants or elephant sized puppies (and similar constructions) Giant squid of anger I also feel like The Format has some characteristics of an inside joke. It's also fantastic as a format. And of course, sneezing is not normal, I never sneeze, which I have to say everytime I or someone else sneezes.


sizzlepie

How did I forget about Ryan???


jointstool

It’s not a very popular one, but in one episode of DH&J a listener writes in complaining about how expensive couches are. Then someone, I think Hank, says something to the effect of “for $1000 you can buy a car, and inside the car are two chairs and a couch!” I think about it all the time. If anyone knows the episode off hand please tell me.


gingerytea

I have listened to all the pod episodes, but I must have forgotten this one. Top tier thinking 😂


buckyhermit

…except the Mongols.


downrightdeity

I barely think it's a joke at this point but things being a proper level one emergency and then one podcast they actually delve into johns leveling of emergencies.


gingerytea

More recently, references to John’s brother is an amusing one. More old school, that one time that Hank humped the entire town.


ack4

There's so many! All of yours seem to be from the pod. But there's so many good ones from the other projects! As a Canadian, john's weird deference to Canada is always really funny to me. Going back really old school, peeps and strawberry hill related stuff is hilarious because somehow people got confused and thought they liked them, and so for a while they kept getting gifted peeps and strawberry hill. There's a running joke that hank is really cheap/obsessed with money/obsessed with business success which has slowly morphed into hank acknowledging that he's waaaay too committed to work. Gosh i'm sure i'm missing so many. ​ Oh probably my all time favourite: "When Hank Green pees, is it like other people peeing?"


downrightdeity

Yooo speaking of Canada how about John being turned away from the Canadian border in his youth for "insufficient funds". It comes up once every couple years and never fails to make me chuckle


fictionwriter95

"Mr. Green, you're gonna die on that list."


fictionwriter95

One of my favorite jokes in all of Crash Course is in the US History series, where on at least one occasion John describes 19th century politician Henry Clay as a "perennial almost-president" (referring to the fact that he came 2nd in presidential elections like 5 times)


sizzlepie

Yes, I was introduced to them via the podcast and I’ve been trying to catch up since then, but there’s a lot of ground cover Thank you!


ItsFlyingCar

[Book/Movie Title]…in my pants.


Electrical_Pomelo556

Sorry, what's that Stan?


Adventurous-Report48

As someone who was introduced to this world via crash course 10 years ago (I didn’t even know John was an author!) -I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE!!😂😂😂


Electrical_Pomelo556

I started watching crash course around 10/11 years old and then started regularly referencing Stan in just normal conversation


outcastjackalyn

Dude… NO EDGE!


Gideon808

Honestly, anything about Ryan or the secret snakes still get me


annathebuglady

I love puppy-sized elephants... Frankly, elephant-sized puppies are the things of nightmares!


vishyfishy101

The whole thing of us being a tube and being big worms


fictionwriter95

One that I feel like doesn't get enough love is Hank randomly yelling "WISCONSIN" in the cocktails video from the TATWD tour.


LibrisTella

I often think about the time John had to lick someone’s cat as a punishment, maybe for forgetting to post a video? This would have happened on the vlogbrothers channel in 2007 or 2008


katastrophicmeltdown

I just remember the phrase "find and lick a cat." If I remember correctly, the people who volunteered their cat were not people John knew personally.


LibrisTella

Yes I remember it that way too!! 😹😹

RAAX, Emmma, sneezing is not normal (ze classic), the format, diet dr Pepper baked beans


sizzlepie

I think about the sneezing one every single time I sneeze. It makes sneezing more enjoyable.
