2008-05-16 · Hank · watch on YouTube · Nerdfighteria · comedy performance

Hank reluctantly performs his punishment, chosen from Nerdfighters' and John's suggestions: a cover of a ToyBox 'World Wide Web girl' pop song; he then asks viewers to wish Katherine a happy birthday and says John will post soon.

Humor (dominant)

  • Hank keeps announcing he is about to do the punishment without doing it. — 00:00:00 > «I gotta stop saying I'm gonna do it and do it.»
  • The punishment turns out to be Hank earnestly singing a bubblegum pop song about online romance. — 00:00:59 > «I'm a World Wide Web girl in a World Wide Web world»
  • Right after the song, Hank reveals his wife witnessed the performance. — 00:02:53 > «Catherine totally walked right by while I was doing this.»
