What is said

00:00:00 — Business: the 51 Jokes contest winner gets a signed CD; start of the anglerfish-song title decision (every-shirt gag)

  • ★★ Hank gives away the signed copy of his CD to whoever told the best joke in the comments of the 51 Jokes video. — 00:00:00 · So Jokes
  • ★ Hank says the first 2,000 or so jokes in the 51 Jokes comments held some excellent candidates, and reads two of them. — 00:00:00
  • ★ The description says the video is not late: YouTube was undergoing maintenance. — 00:00:00 · YouTube
  • ★★ Hank awards the CD to a viewer's 'my life is a joke' joke, saying he had read so many jokes he was ready for one that challenged the archetype of jokes. — 00:00:27 · So Jokes

00:01:19 — Anglerfish song title chosen; the first Ningmasters announced with their roles and days

  • ★★ Hank picks a viewer's long suggestion as the anglerfish song's full title, 'The Anglerfish song regarding the human mentality...'. — 00:01:19 > «The Anglerfish song regarding the human mentality in respect to how to interpret perpetually felt emotions»
  • ★ Hank expects everyone will probably just call it the Anglerfish Song, though the long version will be its full title. (hedged) — 00:01:19
  • ★★★ Hank announces, for himself and John, that the Ningmasters have been selected. — 00:01:19 · Nerdfighter Ning, John Green
  • ★★ Tom becomes the Images Ningmaster: he will promote the good images submitted to the Ning and post the week's best images every Thursday. — 00:01:19 · Nerdfighter Ning
  • ★★ AmberTheAmberyOne will organise the forum and head Nerdfighter projects, featuring the best Nerdfighter videos on the Ning every Monday. — 00:02:04 · Nerdfighter Ning

  • ★★ Sarah (Maddy's Grace), an English teacher, becomes books editor: she will promote book reviews on Fridays and help organise the Blurbing Book Club, which Hank admits they have completely neglected. — 00:02:33 · Blurbing Book Club
  • ★★ Three forum moderators, Panny (a supermod on a big Zelda forum), Jennafighter (with a Nerdfighter licence plate) and Chip (on the forum since its creation), will feature forum content on weekends. — 00:02:33 · Brotherhood 2.0 forum

00:03:26 — Benny Boo Boo's banana suit and a call for ideas; three-month Ningmaster terms; sign-off

  • ★★ Hank says Ningmaster Benny Boo Boo has a banana suit and will do whatever they ask while wearing it, and asks viewers for suggestions in the comments. (playful) — 00:03:26
  • ★★ Hank says each Ningmaster position lasts three months, after which people will be rotated in and out depending on circumstances. — 00:03:26

Humor (significant)

  • A candidate joke: a rubber band pistol was confiscated during algebra class. — 00:00:00 > «It was a weapon of math disruption.»
  • The winning joke: today I changed a light bulb, crossed the street and walked into a bar. — 00:00:27 > «It was then that I realized my life is a joke.»
  • Stalling on the title decision, Hank puts on every shirt he owns and gets one stuck. — 00:01:19 > «So now I know what it feels like for you to try and put on a medium shirt.»
  • Panny qualifies as a forum moderator because she supermods a gigantic Zelda forum. — 00:02:57 > «I can't say that there's any better qualification for being a nerdfighting Ning Master than supermodding on a Zelda forum.»
