last week's brotherhood2.0 song by hank about harry potter just hit the youtube front page today. Basically, Hank has tapped into the Weird Wizard Rock phenomenon. hank also made a video, um, essentially congratulating himself, but its funny. the original vid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvvFiZyEyTA(warning: likely HP spoilers litter his comments) the hooray-for-me vid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC4bVW8OFtMnote that secret brother tom was the 1st video response to this video, as discussed in this cove thread. he's certain to get some more traffic due to this featuring too.

First Bro 2.0 gets Terrified. Then they get their own Cove Forum Box. Now they get featured on the Top of the Tube. Next thing we know they'll be passing Smosh.

You can game on YouTube. You can spam on YouTube. You can hoax on YouTube. But the tried and true way to get views - Funny Songs.

As of 7.46am EST 7/26/07, some stats regarding being featured on the Home Page: 174, 114 views for Hank's song (9,495 for The Serum). The "typical" Vlogbrothers video will get 1500 hits. This one was doing pretty well, around 15,000 hits before it got featured. John's Nerdfighter wedding was sort-of-featured awhile back and got about 23,000 hits. 779 for my Paper Hogwarts, 4-5 times the typical hit count. This one was well-viewed by the usual Bro 2.0 crowd before Hank got featured, but it quickly doubled after he got on the front page. There are three Vlogbrothers videos on the Most Discussed Today list, easily beating out everyone else. I mean everyone. I have 20 comments, the most ever. The Serum has 55. Drunken, but fairly well-mannered crowd in chat last night. I knew people were medicated because Slainte got a lot of love. Off to Work, FLWright

Even as far down the B2.0 chain as I am, I still felt a tiny boost. I haven't been keeping track of my views that closely, but I did get 6 comments within the last 13 hours on a video that is 5 months old. That ain't bad.
Go Go Nerd Fighters!

539,828: current number of views for accio death hallows.
if it was an lg15 video, it would the 32nd most viewed one. (though you have to keep in mind that all 31 of those videos ahead of him are months old.)

Wow! Just think of the carbon emissions from all the people watching that video. If it keeps growing it will make the poor Green brothers broke trying to offset it.
