Adorable Puppy Injury!!!!

2008-05-22 · Hank · watch on YouTube · Personal life · comedy performance

Hank fills in for John, who spent the day at the vet with Willy's broken foot, holding his own 'question day': he drinks an espresso to show what caffeine does to him, then asks viewers a hyperactive string of odd questions.

What is said

00:00:00 — 'I'm not John': John can't complete his five-videos-in-five-days punishment

  • ★★ The video description says there is no new video from John today because John is sick, and that the punishment will be completed on Friday. — 00:00:00 · John Green, Punishment
  • ★★★ Hank says John's punishment was five videos in five days, but John is not going to manage it, for a reason Hank withholds at first. — 00:00:09 · John Green, Punishment

00:00:16 — Hank's own Question Tuesday: espresso beans, avoiding caffeine, drinking an espresso

  • ★★ Hank claims his own version of Question Tuesdays: answering one question long-windedly and then asking viewers twelve, little known because they have never done it. (playful) — 00:00:16 · Question Tuesday
  • ★★ Hank says his most frequent question is how many chocolate-flavored espresso beans he ate; the answer is always none, as he religiously avoids caffeine though he loves coffee's taste. — 00:00:32
  • ★★ To show viewers what caffeine does to him, Hank drinks a shot of espresso with milk, water and sugar. (playful) — 00:00:45
  • ★ Citing Google, Hank says caffeine takes about five minutes to hit, with peak effects at thirty minutes. — 00:01:01 · Google

00:01:18 — Why John's not here: Willy's broken foot ('peg leg'); Hank asks for an eyepatch

  • ★★★ Hank explains John spent most of the day at the dog hospital: Willy is okay but has a broken foot, which is why John is excused. — 00:01:19 · John Green, Willy
  • ★★ Hank asks John to give the 'peg-legged' puppy an eyepatch, and maybe a parrot, for tomorrow's video; though on Team Ninja, he'd love a pirate puppy. (playful) — 00:01:37 · John Green, Willy

00:01:56 — Caffeinated Hank asks viewers questions: mono/uni, trivia, TV murders, airport change, anagrams in math, evil people's pets, Paper Towns giveaway, iota; sign-off

  • ★★ Since Michigan Hank has been puzzling over mono- and uni-, which he calls Latin prefixes for the same thing, and over why 'trivia' means 'three streets'. (playful) — 00:02:06
  • ★★ Hank asks whether, excluding wars, there are more murders on TV or in real life. — 00:02:27
  • ★★ Hank wonders what happens to change forgotten at airport security (he has left 35 cents four times) and thinks transportation security staff should get a tip jar because the job sucks. (hedged) — 00:02:37
  • ★ Hank also asks about anagrams in math, whether evil people like Hitler or Stalin had pets, and what an iota is. (playful) — 00:03:05 · Adolf Hitler
  • ★★ Hank gives away a copy of Paper Towns to one random commenter, the first time he gets to give one away. — 00:03:19 · Paper Towns
  • ★★ Hank asks viewers to leave answers in the comments to his questions and to all the questions in the world. — 00:03:39

Humor (dominant)

  • John's puppy Willy appears with his broken foot in a cast. — 00:01:34 > «So that's why John's excused. Because his puppy has a peg leg.»
  • Hank starts introducing the questions part while waiting for the espresso to kick in. — 00:01:56 > «wow the caffeine has taken effect!»
  • Hank complains that mono- and uni- are prefixes for the same thing. — 00:02:14 > «"No, he's monotonous!" "No, UNotonous!"»
  • Hank asks why 'trivia' is 'tri-via'. — 00:02:22 > «That's like "three streets". Three-street pursuit.»
