In a four-part video John reports that Nerdfighters ate over 200 of the ~315 Peeps he owed, so he will eat the rest on Sunday; phones a viewer's crush to ask him to prom for her; shares Nerdfighter photos from the Ning; and shows Willy.

What is said

00:00:00 — Four P parts; Peeps: John ate none of ~315 Peeps; Nerdfighters ate 200+ for him; he will eat the rest Sunday

  • ★★★ John says he was supposed to eat about 315 Peeps yesterday but ate none. — 00:00:00 · Peeps
  • ★★ John has a busy week turning around two revisions, one on a book he is writing and one on a movie, so eating 300+ Peeps in a day would hurt his productivity. — 00:00:24
  • ★★★ A group of Nerdfighters banded together and ate more than 200 Peeps on John's behalf, so he now has to eat only about 102. — 00:00:24 · Nerdfighteria, Peeps
  • ★★ John will eat the remaining Peeps this Sunday and make a video of it. — 00:00:53 · Peeps

00:00:53 — Prom: a viewer asks for help asking a boy to prom; John phones him

  • ★★ At a viewer's request, John phones the boy she wants to take to prom and asks whether he will go to prom with her. — 00:00:53
  • ★★ The boy answers that he will go to prom with her: 'Absolutely.' — 00:01:47

00:01:47 — Photographs from the Ning found by Ningmaster Tom; what else could DFTBA mean; cakes, shoes; upload your pictures

  • ★★ John says Ningmaster Tom has done a great job of finding pictures on the Nerdfighter Ning, and shares some. — 00:01:47 · Nerdfighter Ning
  • ★★ John is encouraged when commenters ask what DFTBA means, because it means 'we're recruiting'. — 00:01:47 · DFTBA
  • ★★ John asks Nerdfighters to suggest in the comments what else DFTBA could stand for. — 00:01:47 · DFTBA, Nerdfighteria
  • ★ Featured photos include cakes (one a Looking for Alaska cover reading 'a cake'), John licking a cat, and remarkable Nerdfighter shoes. (playful) — 00:02:38 · Looking for Alaska
  • ★★ John tells Nerdfighters to upload their photographs to their Ning profiles to be featured. — 00:03:07 · Nerdfighter Ning

00:03:07 — Puppy: Willy sits like a cat; sign-off

  • ★ John asks whether he is just an overly proud dog parent or whether Willy really sits adorably like a cat. (playful) — 00:03:07 · Willy

Humor (significant)

  • John predicts viewers will laugh at his pain when he eats the Peeps. — 00:00:53 > «if it weren't for schadenfreude, there would be no Freude at all.»
  • John estimates how many Peeps he must still eat: slightly above 100. — 00:00:53 > «but below fatal.»
  • After Miles agrees to go to prom with the viewer, John reflects on his own record. — 00:01:47 > «That went much better than the last time I asked someone to prom.»
  • John stumbles over his forced 'p' title 'p-photographs'. — 00:01:47 > «I could have just called it part three pictures. Doofus!»
