!!This musician/internet vlogger and his works provide examples of:
%%* AngryDance: "5 STARS FOR [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4CIh3DdWJE ANGER DANCE]]!!"
* AntiLoveSong: Hank sings "Florida" like a regular ballad love song, but it's actually about how much Florida sucks.
* ArtifactTitle: The Hankgames channel is a channel now hosting John Plays FIFA. He now plays games in a new channel Games With Hank.
* AscendedFanboy: Hank is the ''Star Wars'' fan who wrote "A Naturalist on Hoth" for the short story collection ''Literature/FromACertainPointOfViewTheEmpireStrikesBack.'' John's the one who made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu_7Qmb-WZI a video]] about ''The Force Awakens,'' though.
* 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.
%%* EducationalSong: Hank has some songs in this style "Protons and Neutrons", "Strange Charm", "The Universe is Weird"
%%* 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)"]].
* InsultBackfire: Both John and Hank have mentioned in several videos the [[https://www.youtube.com/user/vlogbrothers#p/u/149/xy1M5VHF3no stupidity of negative comments]] that accuse them of being nerds/geeks ([[ProudToBeANerd they take it as a compliment]]) or "gay" ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsVgk9oMyx8&feature=relmfu this is not an insult anyway]]).
%%* LetsPlay: Hank does this in Hankgames and Games With Hank.
* MeasuringTheMarigolds: Both of his Youtube science shows avert this, with WebVideo/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.
* MotorMouth: In lots of his videos where it is surprising if the closed captioning was able to accurately follow what he was saying. Exaggerated by the standard vlogbrothers editing style, which eliminates as many pauses and breaths taken as possible.
%%* MurderBallad: "I'm Gonna Kill You".
%% * {{Nerdcore}}: Several of Hank's songs, including "DFTBA" and "The Man Who Throws The Tetris Piece".
%%* NightmareFace: Ladies and gentlemen, [[http://youtu.be/EfKolpFOZLk?t=3m33s demonic Hank]].
* OfficiallyShortenedTitle: "The Anglerfish Song"/"A Song About an Anglerfish" is officially titled "The Anglerfish Song Regarding the Human Mentality in Respect to How to Interpret Perpetually Felt Emotions While Educating You on the Subject of Anglerfish."
--> '''Hank''': That is Nerdfighteria, man. And with all respect to refugeejohn, I think we'll probably all just call it "The Anglerfish Song," but that will be its full title. Congratulations, refugeejohn!
* PokeThePoodle: In "[[http://youtu.be/2O9BkGxWBVY Positive Prank Calls]]"
-->''Hi, this is Hank Green of the Vlogbrothers, and I just wanted to let you know that global poverty rates have dropped 30% since 1990, and they're on track to drop another 10% before 2015. She was talking and I just hung up on her. Ha! Ha, ''pranked!''''
%%* PrankCall: A positive one.
%%* ProudToBeAGeek: He realy does love science.
* 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.
%%* 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 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.)
* StopMotion: Hank [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSEfK0UYz48 had fun with this in Denver Airport]], through doing very basic stop motion animation with himself as the moving object. Somehow, nobody seemed to notice him lying on the chairs in various abnormal positions. He then set the animation to some music.
* TongueTwister: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated.]] Hank Green and the Perfect Strangers' song "Mother Pheasant Plucker" is designed to be a ''2-and-a-half-minute-long tongue twister'' that gets faster ''every time the chorus repeats.''
* {{Tuckerization}}: Ellen Hardcastle was a fan who entered a contest in which the winner's name will be the name of the new album.
* UnusualEuphemism: Hank made 'Warner Chilcot' a curse word after the company of that name [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPf8vwnoEtU raised the price of his medication by 1200%.]]
* ViewersAreGeniuses: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zrnd63DAH8o Nerd Jokes.]] You have to be pretty familiar with scientific theories, literature, computer science, comics, psychology, anime, sci fi and fantasy, politics, math and physics, and/or famous historical scientists and scholars to get the jokes at all.
