Brotherhood 2.0: January 3rd

2007-01-03 · Hank · watch on YouTube · Personal life · comedy performance

Tired of being compared to John, Hank proposes a list of ways the brothers differ, and uses it to confess that he spilled beer on his wife's MacBook and nearly derailed the project.

What is said

00:00:13 — Before a 7 a.m. flight after sledding at Lake Tahoe; being John's brother is frustrating (look-alikes, The Proclaimers vs Nelson); proposal of a list of differences

  • ★ Hank says it is 7 a.m. and he is about to board a plane; the day before he went sledding at Lake Tahoe. — 00:00:13
  • ★★ Hank says being John's brother is frustrating: people tell him he looks like John and jokes like him, only less funny. (playful) — 00:00:13 · John Green
  • ★ Hank says some people even think the brothers look like the twin rock duo The Proclaimers, which beats being likened to Nelson. (playful) — 00:00:54
  • ★★★ Hank proposes that the brothers make a video blog list of all the ways they are very different people. — 00:00:54 · John Green, Hank Green
  • ★ Other listed differences: John has got kind of pudgy in recent years whereas Hank will in coming years, and Hank, unlike John, vainly obsesses about his hair. (playful) — 00:00:54 · John Green, Hank Green

00:01:21 — The list: pudginess, the beer-soaked MacBook confession

  • ★★★ Through the list Hank confesses he spilled beer on his wife's MacBook, which would not boot, nearly ruining the project, until reinstalling the battery worked; he hadn't told her. (playful) — 00:01:21 · Katherine Green, Brotherhood 2.0

00:01:56 — End of the list (not telling his wife, Hank's hair); performing 500 Miles: punishment, project or challenge?

  • ★★ Hank says performing a version of 500 Miles on the show appeals to him and asks whether it should be a punishment, project or challenge. (hedged) — 00:01:56 · Punishment

Humor (dominant)

  • People tell Hank his jokes are very similar to his brother's. — 00:00:54 > «Except you're not quite as funny as him.»
  • People think the brothers look like the twin rock duo The Proclaimers. — 00:00:54 > «Which is admittedly better than people thinking that we look like the twin rock duo, Nelson.»
  • Hank's list of differences turns into a confession about spilling beer on his wife's MacBook and hiding it. — 00:01:56 > «Sorry, honey.»
