Amy KR’s Positive Pranking: bit.ly John builds upon an idea by the brilliant Amy Krouse Rosenthal to turn pranks into vehicles for worldsuck reduction. In this video, he TPs houses around his hometown of Indianapolis. (TP, in this instance, stands for Tootsie Pop.) Enjoy your tootsie pops, Indy. My note: Hello! Your home has been TP’ed, which–for today, at least–means that it has been Tootsie Popped. These Tootsie Pops are your for the licking (and/or biting) not as a part of some marketing campaign but because of an initiative called Positive Pranking started by the author Amy Krouse Ronsethal with the help of the nerdfighters, an Internet-based community of people who seek to decrease the overall worldwide level of suck. Please enjoy, and if you’re so inclined, start your own positive pranking adventure. You can find out more at blogs.vocalo.org Best wishes, John Green

I can’t tell of the work of art behind John is a wooden dowel mosaic, or if it’s… pennies. One of these things is probable; the other, hilarious. (For all I know the darn thing has been explained in a video I will stumble across in two hours. That awkward moment when you try to watch the Vlog Brothers archive in chronological order, but keep getting distracted by the @%#$ Suggested/Related videos list. For… thirteen hours straight.)

down old Laandaan way, although I have literally no idea who or what Ginger is.still, I’m glad we’re all united in our global love of pissing people off for own amusement.

I love positive pranking! My cousins and I do this one prank we call “Heart Attacking”. What we do is we cut hearts out of colored paper and write positive things on them, and then scatter them all over the person’s yard or inside one of the rooms of their house (if it’s someone we know. It’s not like we break into people’s homes to do this.) Although it’s best to do it on a day that’s not very windy. :D

In Australia it’s called “knick knocking”. I guess we’re not advanced enough to own doorbells.

It really does, though I understand the ‘knicky’ and ‘knocky’ but why the nine doors? haha

I think Ding Dong Ditching makes a ton more sense than Knicky Knocky Nine Doors, lol. You ring the door bell, it goes ding dong, and you run away and ditch the place.

@RIPCompanionCube the thing about Targets is that they all kind of look the same.
Also I love your username.

i watched 90% of this video until i realized that tootsie pops’ initials are t.p. i kept thinking he was referring to toilet paper so i was really confused… :P

i dont know about over there but had i rcieved a “tootsie pop” in australia in the mail or at work or in the little deserted island thing infront of my house i’d think ‘there is some guy trying to drug us’
but then i’d see the note take the “tootsie pops” and just die in my room a little bit…
