Lower-confidence wave

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

In a multi-part vlog from Florida Hank introduces his zit Horatio, praises silliness as a virtue, and reports giving Water.org the $634.12 Nerdfighters gave him for his birthday, doubled, plus progress on the Savann Tabak well.

What is said

00:00:00 — Visiting his in-laws in Florida; introducing his zit Horatio; when do adult men stop getting zits?

  • ★★ Hank is in Florida visiting his in-laws. — 00:00:01 · Florida
  • ★★ Hank introduces his new zit, Horatio, as the newest member of the family and apologises to people named Horatio. (joke) — 00:00:04
  • ★ Hank asks at what stage in an adult man's life the gigantic zits stop, saying he has waited a long time for that day. (playful) — 00:00:25

00:00:34 — Visiting high-school friends in Orlando; silliness as an underappreciated virtue

  • ★★ Visiting friends in Orlando reminded Hank how great high school was; he thanks those friends for making him a more fun and better person. — 00:00:34 · Orlando, Florida
  • ★★★ Hank calls silliness a vastly underappreciated quality that should rank among the major virtues with diligence, kindness, patience and humility. — 00:00:48

00:01:03 — Pre-filmed 'Hank from the past' takes $512 of birthday money to the bank; new haircut, no longer like Topher from Dollhouse

  • ★★ In pre-filmed footage Hank takes $512 that Nerdfighters gave him for his birthday, including Canadian money and euros, to the bank to donate to an organisation of his choosing. — 00:01:10 · Nerdfighteria
  • ★ Hank got a haircut; it is now a little messy, ending his dreams of looking like Topher from Dollhouse. (playful) — 00:01:36

00:01:46 — $634.12 of Nerdfighter birthday money donated to Water.org and doubled; Savann Tabak well progress; follow and donate

  • ★★★ After converting the foreign money, Hank found Nerdfighters had given him $634.12 for his birthday to donate to a charity. — 00:01:46 · Nerdfighteria
  • ★★★ Hank gives the money to Water.org, with whom he went to Haiti, and, inspired by Nerdfighteria's charity, doubles the amount. — 00:02:07 · Haiti, Nerdfighteria
  • ★★★ Hank reports via my.water.org/vlogbrothers that Savann Tabak has formed a well committee, created a budget and chosen a location and a guard for the well. — 00:02:25
  • ★★ Hank again encourages viewers to follow Savann Tabak at my.water.org and to donate directly to Water.org rather than sending money to him first. — 00:02:38

00:02:48 — Winnie the Pooh and frightening antique toys found in a corner; Horatio wants the vlogging job; sign-off

  • ★ Hank says Horatio is trying to get rid of Hank's face so he can do the vlogs alone, and viewers can vote which would be better. (joke) — 00:03:16

Humor (significant)

  • Hank introduces the newest member of his little family while visiting his in-laws. — 00:00:04 > «This is Horatio; he's my new zit.»
  • Most viewers are grossed out by the zit, but one group has another reason to be upset. — 00:00:17 > «who are named Horatio, who are just mad at me right now.»
  • Pre-filmed footage of Hank before his haircut introduces itself. — 00:01:10 > «You can tell because of all the hair.»
  • Hank finds a Winnie the Pooh toy in a corner of his in-laws' house. — 00:02:53 > «Go away, Winnie, go away! You could get me sued!»
