Lower-confidence wave

2011 videos did not pass the QA gate (17 %); their analysis is shown but less reliable.

John celebrates finishing signing all the books, then announces Crash Course (John teaching world history and Hank biology for 40 weeks from late January 2012) and Hank's SciShow (early January), and promises viewers vlogbrothers is not changing.

What is said

00:00:34 — 'I signed all the books'; the studio for Crash Course's Indianapolis episodes; the dream of an educational channel; 40 weeks of world history and biology from late January 2012, then other courses; Tobuscus aside

  • ★★★ John celebrates having signed all the books after a happy dance through town. — 00:00:34 · The Fault in Our Stars

  • ★★ John says that afterwards they will teach other courses, such as literature, chemistry or physics, whatever Nerdfighteria wants. — 00:01:19 · Crash Course, Nerdfighteria
  • ★ John says he feels like Tobuscus, attempts an impression, admits he is bad at impressions and says he loves Toby. (playful) — 00:01:19

00:02:05 — Hank's SciShow launching in early January; a child of the brothers's questions; subscribe links

Humor (significant)

  • John tries a Tobuscus impression. — 00:01:19 > «I'm so bad at impressions.»
  • Saying SciShow will answer the questions his son asks, John admits a child of the brothers's questions are different. — 00:02:05 > «His major questions are, where did mommy go? And more cupcake question mark?»
