"I think I listen enough." -John Green, 2018

Luke Fowler

THAT IS NOT A GOOD TAGLINE

Loretta Pontillo

PLEASE tell us more about this. I am delighted by it even without context but any more info would just widen the scope of my delight

Tobasco da Gama

IT WOULD LOOK LIKE A BETTER WORLD, LINDSAY

Get To Know Nature

I was impressed that they approved the one that did appear in the video!

Blue Moomba

I get the feeling that all online content creators now need a skill point spent in advertisment or a year's worth of experience at a TV shopping channel lol

Jackson Bockus

Look I don’t want to get to personal here But Lindsay’s right. You can.

Mary Cieslak

you slumping into the couch at the end is the BEST

2026-09-14 06:00 Why was this rejected? Like surely this is just as goofy and irrelevant as what actually got put out, isn't it?

Dammit lindsay that was precious!

John Diniz

Thanks for sharing this

Mwezzi

I have never seen so many of your teeth at once, and typing that was weird.

Rich Stoehr

I had a feeling that hijinks and shenanigans ensued for that part of your last video.

Seraphina

I guess they don't like backtalking on the their taglines.

Jason Olshefsky

(Tries to muster an iota of sympathy for yet another aggregator company that "earns" a percentage off creators' backs) ... Nope. Just can't. Sorry, Audible.

Anna Keet

I had a feeling some bits were cut out when watching the original video. This clip makes more sense than the clip that ended up in the video.

Orellien

LFW you fly too close to the sun :D.

Jason Harner

Lol, that is some quality advertising right there.

Matt M

Lord Bezos is displeased.

Stephi Anne-with-an-E

I mean, it is, but the officially published version didn't include "That is a terrible tagline ... you CANNOT do it with audiobooks."

Piper

Well, the tagline definitely catches your attention lol

Tomasz Mazurek

I would just like to say that the introduction of John Green in the episode was executed perfectly. From the moment Lindsay name dropped him I went from "alright, cameo incoming in 3, 2, 1" to "meh, no cameo after all" to "how could I have for a second thought there was not going to be a cameo!".

Sue Donem

I'm sorry for your video's loss, this was a truly beautiful section

M. Leslie

You can also do it with your PS4. :) It's the leading cause of death in basements.

mud

lol

mud

Bezos be praised!

Player13

I would love to do it with audiobooks!

Biki

"You CANNOT do it with audiobooks!" ... not with that attitude 😉

GrumpySteen

Honestly, this is the closest a paid Audible promotion has ever come to making me want to subscribe. They should have gone with this.

Callen

I feel so privileged to see this.

muddlewait

And I got 8 audiobooks for Christmas! Sounds like they'll get me through some lonely nights

Matt Kulisch

Baahhhhahaha!!! Oh fucking hell, this is the thang! 🤣

Bingewatch Improv

I am shocked... shocked, I say... that they weren't overwhelmed with enthusiasm.

issa

i'm like 400% more likely to listen to this version than any half-earnest attempt.

Laura N.

how could they not like this

Josh Draper

John's weirdly agressive reading of "IT WOULD LOOK LIKE A BETTER WORLD LINDSAY" gets me every time.

Martin Karsten

:-D What made me grin the most were the few times when genuine Amusement was breaking through the rictus smile of your sales person persona.

MercuryBuddha

Is this not basically the version we saw in live? How could they not like this? XD

Lillian Clark

??? I can't seem to access what she's posted, despite being a patron. Is there a link somewhere in this?

Lillian Clark

Never mind -- I'm obviously having a brain fart kind of morning!

Jasmijn Wellner

Of all the Audible ads I've seen, this is the only one that made me actually consider signing up

Adam Leuer

It would look like a wetter world, Lindsay.

Sterling Treadwell

lol wow i don't see why they rejected it. it's like your best work! :D

Exprmntle

Hey... Don't tip over your own rice bowl, Ellis! But, surely, they knew what they were buying, the sponsor...

Clinton Johnston

I can't see what they possibly could have disliked about that ad copy.

Zoë Blade

This is great! If I were an evil corporation, I'd be happy with it. It's talking about the brand while actually being entertaining.

M.C.G

I joined your Patreon to watch this and it was worth it.

Antha Auciello

Jeff Bezos does not care if we are entertained. He owns us.

Mark Tomczak

Love it, and I have no idea why they didn't use it. Hey, I have to ask: what is that jazzy theme playing under the video?

Frances Webb

I'd say the problem here is not that the reading makes Audible look unattractive - it doesn't, but it does make the Audible advertising writers look silly. And it's the Audible advertising people who - I presume - get to decide whether they like the reading. I hope I'd have more humor about it if given the opportunity to reject a video that points out that I used "more" twice in one sentence and called my tagline terrible. But would I? I'm not in advertising, and I doubt I'll ever have an opportunity to test it.

Lucy Gray

You can't do it with with audio books. You can try with regular books but it's not really recommended.

JM

Lindsay can do no wrong. If she shows me her enemies, I will smite them.

LeftOn4ya

I signed up for real and got Turtles all the way down. I’m gonna DO IT with audiobooks just like BumbleBee did it with the radio;)
