- First, Hank points out that John is WRONG! (Also he makes up a song about Quarks and Amanda Bynes, which has stuck around). Warning: Puff levels are high.
- Next Watsky and Kate Nash give us a nice sonic kick in the ass.
- Finally Hank has managed to find the Google history of a certain someone who lived...

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 42)
There's speculation that this volume of my favourite YouTube videos will hold the answer to life the universe and everything. I'm not saying that's true, but I'm not saying it's not.
- First off George Watsky would like you to know that "[He] Does Not Give a Fuck".
- Next, Tessa Violet, Meekakitty, lipdubs several songs, including and most importantly "Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf" by Rob Cantor. Also, these always entertain me for no particularly good reason.
- Finally, Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip lay down some commandments.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 39)
In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos we get musical, beautiful and designy.
- First, Hank sings to us about the Subway where he used to go (and then lays down the facts about advertising).
- Then we have a live version of Watsky's 4am, one of my favourite's of his songs.
- Next Cory Williams flies us beautifully over his hometown.
- Then Karen Kavett shows us what she's been up to when it comes to interior design.
- Finally we end on a lip dub from Meekakitty, which combined with Hank's video above might be the best indication of the state of music in the summer of 2012. (Also Tessa's crazy-eyes really sell this video.)

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 37)
This volume of my favourite YouTube videos is a bit old school, with a bunch of faces (or hands) we've all come to know and love.
- The first video in this volume is "Doodle Music" from viheart.
- Next, we get to discover what happens if you give Felicia Day a chainsaw. (You knew the answer was awesomeness, right?) Also maybe that it's best to stand well back when she sees baby animals.
- Next, John Green pretends to be Charlie McDonnell while getting things done (like signing a contract for the TFiOS movie).
- Next, Ze Frank (and I hope you didn't think that one wall to wall volume of him was all we were going to get) puts up a new video about a new song.
- And, finally Watsky raps "Energy".

Blog: Favorite YouTube Videos (Volume 29)
In this volume of my favorite YouTube videos, we take in some music, sit in all the chairs and help someone move.
- The first video is a cover of the song, Rouge Message, from Kiki's Delivery Service, by Laura Shigihara and LonLonJP. I was going to say that Kiki's was one of my favorite Studio Ghibli movies, but honestly all Studio Ghibli movies are my favourites. Either way Laura and LonLon put together a very nice song here.
- The second video is another from George Watsky (surprised ain't cha). I don't even need to tell you that the rap is great and the video for this one is a completely engrossing time lapsed drawing.
- Next up is another Watsky, just throwin' down.
- Now John Green takes us on a visit to the nicest hotel room in the world on the vlogbrothers. It's armoisome.
- Finally we help Charlie move house, because we're nice like that.

Blog: Favorite YouTube Videos (Volume 27)
This volume of my Favorite YouTube Videos is a grab bag, but one that seems to have some pretty deep thoughts attached to it.
- The first video in this volume is Laura Shigihara's Cube Land. I like the song, but while re-watching it before posting, I was also struck by how much the video tells a story about dealing with depression. That's in my mind at least, Laura's description goes a different direction and you might see something different, but it's worth watching the video as well as listening to the song.
- Next up, you know you pets do this. You know it, the Mean Kitties are just worse at hiding it.
- The next video requires you to remember that time when Honey Badgers were the meme du jour on the Internet. If you're not sure why, John Green will help you to understand in this vlogbrother's video.
- If you think I post a lot of George Watsky, that might be because I do. The guy is prolific and honestly I like a lot of what he does. Here we see him do a one-taker of another of his tracks.
- Finally I have Hank Green's response to Frezned's response to his graphic* about how insignificant we are on the astronomic scale.
* Sadly I'm having a hard time finding the graphic, Google is assuming things and Hank accidentally blew his tumblr up one day.

Blog: Favorite YouTube Videos (Volume 26)
This volume of my favorite YouTube videos is a bit of a testament to the cool things people can make.
- So have I mentioned that George Watsky is a pretty boss poet?
- Have you ever considered building an economy based on things you can cut with a sword? It's worth thinking about. Also Jayne!Hank and Kaylee!Katherine is pretty damn adorable.
- The next video is another from Fruity Ukuladies, furthering my belief that is possible to make anything better through the power of covers.
- Sometimes an inside joke just has to go to it's logical conclusion. Here we see Corey and Katers finishing this one off.
- Finally we see the ways in which certain video games could have been significantly faster. If you're interested you can see some of the filming in Kater's blog.

Blog: Favorite YouTube Videos (Volume 24)
This volume of my favorite youtube videos is a musical one with a little bit of vlog mixed in in the middle. So here we have some inspiration, some angler fish football, some exploding green fellows and some animated felt... (plus the Muppets).
- George Watsky is an incredible voice, poet, rapper and human being. You've probably seen him rapping to a goat. Here, like he often is, he's talking about seizing your dreams and being true to yourself.
- So have I mentioned that the best bits of vlogbrothers is when they're together. Also this is the birth of the Swindon Town Swoodlypoopers (even if they never did manage to play together again).
- The next video is a Minecraft song by CaptainSparklez. It's a parody of Usher's "DJ Got us Fallin' in Love" but way better because it's about creepers.
- I like The Muppets, I like OK Go. Is there any reason not to love the combination? Also, please to enjoy the ending Catapult Nightmares.
