Brotherhood 2.0: April 2nd: Punishments in the Ramble

2007-04-02 · John · watch on YouTube · Nerdfighteria · comedy performance

Walking through the Ramble in Central Park, John lets Hank choose his punishment from five humiliation options, and tells the 'free Hank' people that if 20 people give $10 to the fund, Hank need not be punished at all.

What is said

00:00:00 — The Ramble in Central Park as New York's wilderness; a porn find; John can't pick Hank's punishment

  • ★ John films in the Ramble in Central Park, 'our answer to the state of Montana', to show Hank the difference between Montana's wilderness and New York's. (playful) — 00:00:10 · Montana, New York City
  • ★ John says he and the Yeti came across porn in the Ramble; he shoots it at a wide angle so as not to offend younger viewers. (playful) — 00:00:10 · Sarah Urist Green
  • ★★★ John says picking Hank's punishment has been hard because Nerdfighters made great suggestions, so he will let Hank choose his own from a list of five. (playful) (hedged) — 00:00:10 · Nerdfighteria, Punishment

00:00:59 — Two kinds of punishment; options one to four; the goose

  • ★★ John divides punishments into humiliation and pain punishments; so far they have emphasized pain because pain is funny, but humiliation is also funny. (playful) (hedged) — 00:00:59 · Punishment
  • ★★★ Options one to three: attend a senior water aerobics class (surely at the Missoula YMCA), have his chin waxed by a professional, or act out his most embarrassing moment with hand puppets. (playful) — 00:00:59 · Missoula, Montana
  • ★★ John warns that if Hank chooses the hand-puppet option, the moment must be as embarrassing as chin waxing would be painful. (playful) — 00:01:30
  • ★★★ Options four and five: convince people in downtown Missoula to sing verses from the Nerdfighters song with him, or visit his local GM dealer and test-drive a Hummer. (playful) — 00:01:30 · Missoula, Montana

00:02:13 — Option five (test-drive a Hummer); sign-off; Free Hank offer: 20 people giving $10 to the fund

Humor (significant)

  • Showing Hank New York's answer to Montana's wilderness, John describes what he and the Yeti found in the Ramble. — 00:00:10 > «when we came across, you guessed it, porn.»
  • Before announcing option five, John walks toward a goose. — 00:01:30 > «I'm gonna get up close to a goose I'm scared of geese but it's gonna be awesome»
  • The fifth humiliation punishment for Hank. — 00:02:13 > «Visit your local GM dealer and test drive a Hummer.»
