December 20th: HANK SHALL BE PUNISHED!

2007-12-20 · John · watch on YouTube · Nerdfighteria · comedy performance

In four parts, John praises Hank's last song and his completed song challenge, admits his own unfinished goals (a novel, a weight promise, Christmas presents that may arrive late), dismisses gruesome Nerdfighter punishment ideas and sets two options for Hank's punishment for a viewer vote, and gives a new scavenger hunt clue.

What is said

00:00:00 — Part one: Hank's song; Hank completed the song challenge; Brotherhood 2.0 almost completed; John's poor record of finishing things (an unfinished eco-terrorist novel)

  • ★★ John says he liked Hank's song; it made him a bit sad but proud, because Hank has completed the song challenge. — 00:00:00
  • ★★ John says the brothers have almost completed Brotherhood 2.0 and he is impressed with them. — 00:00:00 · Brotherhood 2.0
  • ★★ John says his record of completing things is poor: he never completed a sprawling young adult novel about eco-terrorists living on a Pacific island. (playful) — 00:00:00

00:00:39 — John's weight promise not met; part two: Hank's Christmas presents may arrive late, blamed on the Postal Service and Star Trek teleportation

  • ★★ John says he has not met his promise to weigh 10 pounds less on January 1, 2008 than on January 1, 2007; with 11 days left he must lose 8 pounds and can only eat healthy and hope. (playful) — 00:00:39
  • ★★ John says Hank and Katherine's Christmas presents might not arrive by Christmas although he bought them in time, jokingly blaming the Postal Service for not inventing instant delivery. (playful) (hedged) — 00:00:39 · Katherine Green, Christmas

00:01:28 — Part three: bloodthirsty Nerdfighter punishment ideas dismissed (squirrel, Ashley Tisdale's channel, blenderized Hummer, Easter Bunny vs mall Santa, penguin); two options set: blenderized Christmas meal or a one-hour public concert of Nerdfighting songs

  • ★★ John says Nerdfighters get bloodthirsty at punishment time and reviews suggested punishments he had to dismiss. (playful) — 00:01:28 · Nerdfighteria, Punishment
  • ★★★ John settles on two punishment options for Hank; Nerdfighters will vote and Hank must do the winner. Option one: eat a blenderized Christmas meal including at least ham, eggnog and Christmas cookies. — 00:02:59 · Punishment, Christmas
  • ★★★ Option two: Hank gives a live public performance of Nerdfighting songs for at least an hour, accepting donations for charities that decrease world suck, drinking only Peeps blended with Strawberry Hill. — 00:02:59 · world suck, Peeps

00:03:29 — Concert conditions (donations for charities, Peeps with Strawberry Hill); vote in the comments; part four: scavenger hunt clue from the UK, no phone calls; sign-off

  • ★★ John asks Nerdfighters to vote by leaving a comment for their preferred punishment. — 00:03:29 · Nerdfighteria
  • ★★ John says today's scavenger hunt clue leads to three numbers on three continents, starting in the UK, and that phone calls are now strictly against the rules. — 00:03:29 · Nerdfighter Scavenger Hunt, United Kingdom

Humor (significant)

  • Blaming the Postal Service, John asks why we can beam Captain Kirk across the universe but can't ship a package to Montana, then insists it really happened. — 00:01:28 > «Do you guys never see those documentaries?»
  • Dismissing the idea of releasing a squirrel into Hank's undergarments, John lists who would be harmed. — 00:02:01 > «and perhaps most of all, it would be harmful to the undergarments.»
  • WhatTheBuck suggests Hank watch Ashley Tisdale's YouTube channel; John finds that too cruel. — 00:02:01 > «Gosh, Buck, he just textually communicated with me. It's not like he killed a man.»
  • Considering a punishment of eating a blenderized Hummer, John notes it would require buying a Hummer. — 00:02:01 > «the only thing Hank hates more than fuel inefficiency is spending money.»
