Go To

1* ArchivePanic: While it is impossible to tell how many new viewers have looked at the Vlogbrothers' 1000+ videos (and counting) and fled in fear, the potential is certainly there. Especially taking their [[https://www.youtube.com/user/truthorfail other]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/hankgames YouTube]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/theecogeek channels]] as well as non-Website/YouTube [[http://nerdfighters.ning.com/ websites]] into account. The volume really is massive.
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Pretty much all of Hank's songs, but some pretty notable ones include "Accio Deathly Hallows", "Book Eight", "People Who Love Giraffes", and "The Anglerfish Song".
3* ContinuityLockout: Because the series is so long-running and there are ''so many'' videos- they passed a thousand on the main channel alone in September 2012 -many jokes and references can easily be lost on new viewers. Sometimes even John and Hank forget how some things got started.
4* CrossesTheLineTwice: Hank can make some ''extremely'' [[BlackComedy dark]] jokes. See BlackComedy on the main page for some examples.
5* DeathOfTheAuthor: John is a strong proponent of this about his novels. They both feel this way about Nerdfighteria.
6* HilariousInHindsight: In 2013, Hank released his annual Franchise/HarryPotter song- this one was called "Oh, JK Rowling", begging said author to please release another book or project. Barely a day later, and it came out that Rowling in fact ''[[Literature/TheCuckoosCalling had]]'', under the PenName Robert Galbraith.
7* MemeticBadass: The Swindon Town Swoodilypoopers. Specifically, Bald John Green and Other John Green (who is, at it happens, "'''SO STRONG'''").
8* MemeticMutation:
9** Adding "in my/your pants" to the ends of book titles, an idea originally thought of by Maureen Johnson.
10** Puppy-sized elephants.
11** And tiny chicken disease (in which tiny chickens lay eggs inside your nose, which hatch baby chickens that eat your brain and poop out of your nostrils. In other words, the common cold.)
12** "Dude! No edge!"
13** More recently, Hank trying to express frustration over ketchup bottles and self-checkout machines in a discreet manner: "[[{{Angrish}} Passive-agressive...robot...sack of...ketchup...pee!]] '''[[{{Angrish}} Gah!]]'''" It's even been turned into a T-shirt!
14** "Remember, this man is an award winning novelist." Used whenever John acts kooky.
15* NightmareFuel: [[NightmareFuel/VlogBrothers See here.]]
16%%* {{Squick}}: All the videos about giraffe and giant squid sex.
17%%** Let's not forget the time when [[http://youtu.be/HLkSdHNUpxs?t=27s Hank fell in love with a tree]].
