In fairness, who among us isn't a little neoclassical & somber on the outside yet a leprechaun on the inside?

The last thirty seconds of this video contains the most surprising reveal I have ever encountered in my entire life, and I'm saying that as someone who has watched a LOT of home renovation TV programs. -John

Sometimes they’re just so completely brothers. So much brother energy. Chaos that could only be familial.

“So here’s what we decided to do. I was like, let’s go epitaph-hunting.” …you know, a totally normal thing to say

I usually don't feel the pressure of your 4 minute time constraint, but this one could have been twice as long!

I would totally endorse a "John and Hank at the [blank]" series. It doesn't even matter where. John and Hank at the supermarket... John and Hank at the bowling alley... John and Hank at the DMV...

Hank's delightfully innocent "Yeah, he's Mooning!" absolutely made my day. Thanks :D

Hank and John videos where one of them rolls in saying gooood morning. Is the only thing I need to be happy.

Ha, you could’ve given me 1000 guesses as to what was in there and I never would have gotten close!

Regardless of whether or not it's true, I do love the story of the woman who once said of a fiercely guarded recipe, "You'll have it over my dead body". And then the recipe was engraved upon her tombstone. Truly a legend.

John: what’s that? are you mooning? Hank: yeah he’s mooning! John: now, what is your understanding of the verb “to moon”? Hank: walk upon the moon John: oh ok I don’t know why but this made me lose it 😂🖤

John: "if you have the money to spare a few extra words onto your tombstone, I think it adds a lot" hank: "yeah, or even just one... Bananas!"

seeing Hank sitting in John's spot and my brain went "that's the wrong one! the other one is supposed to be sitting there!"

This content is beautiful. My tombstone will say. “Acted like a good person”

Saw this one when going through a cemetery: "Two things I love most. Good horses and beautiful women. And when I die I hope they tan this old hide of mine and make it into a ladies riding saddle, so I can rest in peace between the two things I love most." It's a good thing I was in a cemetery when I read that because I died laughing.

Yes, this is the kind of content I’m down for on a Friday night. Also, I want Hank‘s ‚mooning‘ to become the next TikTok dance trend.

My favorite epitaph was from a person named B.P. Roberts that had "I told you I was sick" on their tombstone. Legend.

The way that “oh gosh someday” had just a hint of wistful consideration just food for thought, I would 100% book a cemetery tour with John Green and I think I’m not alone in that.

The amount of real estate that damn cemetery owns in my head because of John Green. I was just thinking about it on my walk 5 minutes ago. 🤦‍♀️

“Bananas” -Hank Green is what’s gonna go on my gravestone

ok, I kind of love "the sober one is currently on tour," kind of because it's totally inscrutable--to us. Obviously this is just conjecture but it really sounds like an inside joke this person had with close friends or family, and now etched into their memory is a little piece that only the ones closest to them get to have access to. It's okay if we don't get it, it's not *for* us. A graveyard is so public and we all get access to this part of a person's legacy, and I think it's really charming for someone to say "no, you don't get to understand everything about who I was, you never *knew* me. That part of me is only for the people I love." I really like that perspective, and I hope the people who get the joke got a good laugh out of it.

"I am very fond of the idea that even the things we etch in stone are not necessarily... etched in stone" would make a great epitaph.

My great grandparents have "We put up a hell of a fight" on their tombstone. The thing is, no one knows why it says that. The cousins who ordered the tombstone didn't request it. We don't believe my great grandmother requested it (or if she did, she never told us). It's just there, on the back of the stone, almost hidden by grass. Very odd.

I always forget the magic that happens when Hank & John are physically together. Their love for each other is so clear and infectious.

My grandfather died before I ever met him. I'm told he was a warm and funny guy and I'm a lot like him. We spend a long time saving for a tombstone and when we finally had it installed we looked in awe at the words "always remenbered" and just laughed. We've debated on fixing the spelling mistake but we feel grandpa would have loved it.

Cemeteries are some of my favorite places. The older the better. They’re always so quiet and strangely peaceful. I rate them 5 stars.

I recently went to a funeral for an old relative. She died having very many ailments but really didn’t like to complain and she asked for no eulogies. We honoured her wishes and her son explained the reasoning by quoting the phrase he said he’d most often here her say on the phone…. ‘Anyway, enough about me. How’re you?’ And if that’s not a sweet epitaph I don’t know what is.

You two together in front of the same camera and in the same room is what the world needs right now. The best videos on this channel are the videos where both vlogbrothers are in them.

This video reminded me of an epitaph that struck me. I read it on a grave in a cemetery in Yosemite. According to the gravestone, the person in question had drowned and I found the epitaph hauntingly beautiful. "Ah, that beautious head if it did go down it carried sunshine into the rapids"

Hanks understanding of the verb "to moon" is so innocent and wholesome

Dear John and Hank, I’m writing you today with some exciting news! There is a Rax Restaurant in Joliet, IL - a mere 3 hours and 7 minutes from Indianapolis, IN. I felt compelled to share this exciting news so you don’t miss out on a chance to visit this restaurant once again.

"Here lies John Albertson, 104 years old. The good die young."

I like the matching brother shirts. Loving the progression here (progressing from young weird men to middle aged weird men)

The leprechaun stained glass window is awesome! Of course there's room for that! Please, a patch of sunlight in an otherwise somber downcast place. More of this.

only the green brothers would go "epitaph hunting" as an activity after months apart

Ok, but if John gets buried there eventually, and the epitaph says "Tour guide of Crown Hill" that's the most metal thing ever.

There’s something really lovely about these “immortalized” monuments to people that often go unnoticed being truly appreciated

One of my favorite places I ever toured was a cemetery in Hugo, Oklahoma that was reserved for the local circus. So many genuinely joyful headstones celebrating people who were clearly deeply missed. It was amazing, and I highly recommend stopping there if you are ever in the area.

I was really hoping that "The Bane One" was referring to someone's epitaph quoting the Batman villain Bane.

This is an instant classic

How can a video about a cemetery be so uplifting! Bless those cemetery residents and bless John and Hank for uplifting us ☺️

When asked in an interview what Paul Eddington would like his epitaph to be, he said, "He did very little harm." I think if we can say that at the end of our life then that would be something, cause it is not very easy to be able to say we have done very little harm.

I love cemeteries and walking them. The families stop going to visit and I think that if I can at least appreciate the stones they aren't totally forgotten. Also its a quiet place to walk. Glad you made this.

these reunion videos getting me through until i reunite with my sisters

I genuinly laughed out loud when I saw the leprechaun.

CEMETERIES ARE THE BEST - recently visited some ancestral family graves and found out about a family member we didnt know existed! And found some slokavian written on the headstone for my great-great grandparents! And cleaned their headstones of all the lichen ❤

there is a very special kind of chaotic good energy that happens when you two are together. It feels very nourishing to my well-being and my good vibes just to see you two having fun.

Even what is written in stone is very of its time!! Woah

Based on this video, I have to share a book recommendation. Waiting for Gertrude by Bill Richardson is a book based on the cemetery Pere Lechaise in Paris, where many famous artists and creatives are buried. The premise is all of the artists (Chopin, Jimmy Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Alice Toklas, Maria Callas, and more) are reincarnated as the feral cats who live there. Delightful, fun, and very macabre.

You should definitely record a video in each other's office at some point. Just a normal video by yourself and no mention of how you're not in your own place. Just imagine the comment section. 100% worth it

Cemeteries, gothic creativity at its best. This is my favourite video from vlog brothers.

I used to walk in my local cemetery like every day of the summer because I would play pokemon go there. Summer of 2020 my dad started walking with me as an excuse to get out of the house. We've had some of our best conversations there. Nothing like a cemetery and a pandemic to bring you closer to your dad

1:05 Am i the only one that does not think of mooning the way Hank and John did? The "I am mooning" with so much joy gets me every time.

Can you imagine giving birth to not one but two exceptional human beings such as Hank and John? If I have children one day, I want them to be as awesome as these guys, or at least be as good brothers as they are.

Highgate cemetery was one of the first secular cemeteries in London. That meant people could use whatever design they wanted for their mausoleums and gravestones without church approval, and they really went for it. My favorites are the life-size statue of a beloved dog and the Circle of Lebanon.

ANOTHER REUNION VIDEO?!?!?!!!! LET’S GOOOOOO!!!

throwback to that episode of dear hank and john where they talked about wtf mausoleums are

Dear John, if ever through some twist of fate I find myself at Crown Hill Cemetery, I can't think of a greater delight than you showing people around as some Virgil of Indianapolis. And if you're ever around my neck of the woods, I will gladly do the same. Best, a fellow tour guide.

John just minted his epitaph..... "I am very fond of the idea that even the things we etch in stone are not necessarily 'etched in stone'. It's been fun; I'm going MOONING!"

Hi John! Was reading Amy’s “Encyclopaedia of an ordinary life”, right after i read Auld Lang Syne the 5th time, when i got this notification. Just wanted to tell you, the whole time I was reading that book i could feel you narrating those little essays. I don’t know how this makes you feel but i’m sure Amy wouldn’t have it any other way :) Have a good day.

Reunion videos should be allowed to be twice as long!

'what is your understanding of the verb “to moon”?' - 'walk upon the moon!' Hank. you sweet summer child.

Greens, both Hank and John: Just wanted to say how much I appreciate you guys. Also, when I saw the video title I didn't expect to laugh this much. Who knew a jaunt to the cemetery could be so entertaining. And, I so love what a safe brain space the comments section of Nerdfighteria is. ❤️

I love it when John and Hank are reunited ❤️

Seeing both of you together really made me smile at the end of the longest week. Thank you :)

My favorite epitaph is at the Princeton cemetery: "I told you I was sick"

“He filled his niche and accomplished his task. He left the world better than he found it.” What more could any of us want others to say about us when we die.

In researching geneology, I found an aunt a few generations back. Under her name on the gravestone it said, "She did the best she could." Man...

Love this reunion content! You two are sibling goals! I hope I can forever make my younger brother crack up in laughter like you guys can!! Thanks for brightening my mood. Cheers and DFTBA!

Seeing the inside of that last one made me actually gasp out loud

This is one of my favorite VlogBrothers videos in years! I love exploring cemeteries and finding interesting things like this. Love your brotherly energy! Happy Holidays!

Y’all are such a delight to watch, so obviously loving brothers. 💕

videos of the two of them together really are a breath of fresh air. they contain so much good.

It’s my favorite when you continue to see each other now- instead of Tuesday or whenever. I have siblings I love to see and so it always makes me happy for you when you get together.

The energy in these reunion videos and this week's podcast is GREAT, so contagious, all giddy laughter and unexpected turns.

thank you thank you for this lovely video, your joy and laughter is helping me get through a very hard week

I love you guys and so nice to know that someone else appreciates and walks through Crown Hill Cemetery.

This is one of my favorite Vlogbrothers videos. For some reason, it made me really happy. Thanks guys

I love reunion videos SO MUCH - but this one is so fascinating, too! The spouse got drawn in and had to watch, i've seen it over and over...fascinating + Green brothers = Awesome!

only Hank and John can make talking about cemeteries fun

Just Hank and John, scrolling through the cemetery to read some tombstone quotes

"let's go epitaph hunting" is THE MOST hank and john thing i've ever heard hands down

This! This made my week!! Thanks guys, You're the best. Enjoy your time together and thanks for sharing your Bro-time.

I don't think I can be happier than now after watching this. Thank you!

I think I would like my gravestone to say, "Empathy is not a superpower; it's the only power."

You two are just so awesome, and together are more than the sum of yourselves.

This really made me smile thank you

omg, whenever i visit the town where i went to college, i always take time to visit the cemetery. there are some truly amazing stories and epitaphs there.

Loved this, thank you!

Seeing you two together was exactly the joy I needed today!

I needed this joy today. Thank you. :)

I love the two of you together in videos ❤ this video def made my day better

You guys always make me smile, except when you make me cry. And sometimes, it's both. Thank you. :)

Ah you think whimsy is your ally? You merely adopted the cemetery. I was buried in it, mausoleumed by it.

I love these reunion videos so much; they’re really funny and I love seeing both of them talk 😂❤️!

John Green, last word and epitaph connoisseur

My grandmother is a historian and visiting graveyards was a very normal event in my childhood, usually hunting for some distant family member or finding the burial place of one of her soldiers (her area of expertise was a particular cavalry unit from the Civil War era). Watching this brought back fond memories! Thanks!

I know the trend is over, but i would still like to see you guys do the "you can really dance" dance :]

I (we) need to see you guys together more often. Everyone's busy, I know; but a couple times a year, at least, please. These are so so so much fun. 🥰

So lovely to see you together!
