John: punishment earned by Nerdfighters getting Helen Hunt to see Hank's Helen Hunt video (2011)
punishment · status: changed, no report it was done (2011–2026) · last event: changed (2011-08-15) · owner: John
Getting Helen Hunt to see Hank's Helen Hunt video in May 2011 earned Nerdfighters a punishment for John. In June Hank proposed a video of more than 35 parts or gross sandwiches and John said he would eat 36 sandwiches, but illness and then his gallbladder removal ruled the sandwiches out, so in August a different punishment was to be picked from viewers' suggestions.
