William Henry "Hank" Green II (born May 5, 1980), better known as just Hank Green, is an American entrepreneur, musician, and internet vlogger; best known as one half of the WebVideo/VlogBrothers (along with his brother Creator/{{John|Green}}).

* MotorMouth: In lots of his videos where it is surprising if the closed captioning was able to accurately follow what he was saying.

%%* AlluringAnglerfish: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t7E4amWDqI "The Anglerfish Song"]].

* StupidStatementDanceMix: Hank put one together called "Willy's Song;" it was an amalgamation of all the bizarre sounds Nerdfighters had made in an attempt to get Willy to do his QuizzicalTilt again.

* StalkerWithACrush: While Hank's [[https://www.youtube.com/user/vlogbrothers#p/search/0/wP1q5lo1cTo Helen Hunt song]] is supposed to be funny and non-serious, when the real Helen Hunt heard it, she thought took out a restraining order against him. A restraining order [[http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkqn61Hy1d1qdv0bro1_500.jpg covered in flowers and smiley faces.]] (The restraining order is fake though, just so you know.)

%% * FilkSong: Many of Hank's songs. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2Gt9m64LBg This Isn't Hogwarts]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlVQEFLcG6w Dead Boy's Girlfriend]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApbvchiEdTY The Man Who Throws the Tetris Piece]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wbn9F32TaA0 I'm Not Edward Cullen]], and lots more.

** ''WebVideo/CrashCourse'' (Biology, Ecology, Chemistry, Psychology)

''[[RunningGag Who the eff]] [[DescribeTopicHere is Hank?]]''

In 2018, he released his debut novel, ''Literature/AnAbsolutelyRemarkableThing''.

* AlluringAnglerfish: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t7E4amWDqI "The Anglerfish Song"]].
* AngryDance: "5 STARS FOR [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4CIh3DdWJE ANGER DANCE]]!!"

** "The Adorable Cannibal" may also be an example because it is actually a love song, but a really weird one that overlaps love and sexual attraction with food cravings, and eating with making out.

* BewareTheNiceOnes [=/=] DisproportionateRetribution: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azp91hVsQHY "I'm Gonna Kill You"]], he threatens violent murder on various people who piss him off by doing things such as holding up the express lane at the supermarket, having a loud party late at night while he's trying to sleep, or buying a huge SUV.
* BuffySpeak: On his vlogs. Sometimes on his science programs.
* CelebCrush: On Helen Hunt
* DeadpanSnarker: He certainly comes across this way when he appears on WebVideo/{{React}}. A good example would be when he is watching "WesternAnimation/{{Rejected}}" and comments on the lampshaded SanitySlippage, commenting on the fact that there seemed to be no sanity from the start.
* EducationalSong: Hank has some songs in this style "Protons and Neutrons", "Strange Charm", "The Universe is Weird"
* FilkSong: Many of Hank's songs. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2Gt9m64LBg This Isn't Hogwarts]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlVQEFLcG6w Dead Boy's Girlfriend]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApbvchiEdTY The Man Who Throws the Tetris Piece]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wbn9F32TaA0 I'm Not Edward Cullen]], and lots more.
* HappilyMarried: To Katherine Green.
* HappyDance: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxYNUu_2egM A whole montage of them.]]
* HurricaneOfPuns: "Mules Are So Half Ass"
* IKnowYouKnowIKnow: The basic gist of the lyrics of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lRldr2BH2M "I Know (A Song in Ten Words)"]].

* LetsPlay: Hank does this in Hankgames and Games With Hank.

* MurderBallad: "I'm Gonna Kill You".
* {{Nerdcore}}: Several of Hank's songs, including "DFTBA" and "The Man Who Throws The Tetris Piece".
* NerdsAreSexy: Hank has appeared on several blogs in lists of "certain people [the blogger] would like to do certain things with" (also known as the "celebrity do list" or "guilt-free three").
* NightmareFace: Ladies and gentlemen, [[http://youtu.be/EfKolpFOZLk?t=3m33s demonic Hank]].

* PrankCall: A positive one.
* ProudToBeAGeek: He realy f***ing loves science.

* SiblingTeam: With Creator/{{John|Green}}.
* SigningOffCatchphrase: "John, I'll see you on Tuesday."
* TheSomethingSong: "The Anglerfish Song"
* StalkerWithACrush: While Hank's [[https://www.youtube.com/user/vlogbrothers#p/search/0/wP1q5lo1cTo Helen Hunt song]] is supposed to be funny and non-serious, when the real Helen Hunt heard it, she thought it was this trope and took out a restraining order against him.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Corndogs.

* WhatTheHellHero: In [[http://edwardspoonhands.com/post/66425515182/ok-so-my-friend-emma-puts-this-video-of-her this Tumblr post]], he calls out Youtube for their comment changes to the system, in particular the fact that the top comments were promoting a VocalMinority, as well as the fact that the censor [[EpicFail failed to stop a user commenting with just the N-word]].
* WhatWouldXDo: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFmr4LinC4E "What Would Captain Picard Do"]].

* {{Shoutout}}: ''Lots and lots.'' To authors, poets, musicians, and scientists living and dead, to movies and books, to other video bloggers. For just a couple examples, see Hank's guitar, which is painted with the words, "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodie_Guthrie this machine pwns n00bs]]", also the name of an album.

* MeasuringTheMarigolds: Both of his Youtube science shows avert this, with SciShow focusing on science news and ideas he finds cool, while WebVideo/CrashCourse Biology, Ecology, and Chemistry, and Psychology taking a more targeted approach at various scientific disciplines. Part of what makes it work is Green's obvious enthusiasm.

Hank is one of the most active and prolific leaders of a new generation of web entrepreneurs and personalities. He's the co-founder and CEO of [=VidCon=], the world's first and only convention dedicated to internet videos. He along with John are the organizers of the event.
