Victoria Beckham In Your Pants

2009-10-07 · John · watch on YouTube · Nerdfighteria · comedy performance

With no Question Tuesday, John makes a three-part video: Victoria Beckham's 'That Extra Half an Inch' as a new 'in your pants' find, his upcoming appearances in La Grange and Indianapolis (plus a Bay Area gathering and a request to rename the sidebar), and Amy Krouse Rosenthal's The Beckoning of Lovely.

What is said

00:00:00 — No Question Tuesday (John forgot to ask); part one: 'in your pants' breakthrough, Victoria Beckham's That Extra Half an Inch

  • ★★ John says he forgot to ask Nerdfighters for questions, so he can't do Question Tuesday; instead he makes an old-school video in three parts. — 00:00:00 · Question Tuesday, Nerdfighteria
  • ★★ John restates the 'in your pants' rule: adding the words to the end of a book title often makes it funnier, and Nerdfighters keep finding examples, the last being 'Pooh Gets Stuck'. (playful) — 00:00:00 · in your pants
  • ★★★ John says a Nerdfighter may have found an even better example: Victoria Beckham's book 'That Extra Half an Inch', subtitled 'Hair, Heels, and Everything in Between'. (playful) (hedged) — 00:00:32 · in your pants

00:01:01 — Part two, appearances: La Grange on October 13, Indianapolis fundraiser, naming the sidebar, Bay Area gathering October 10

  • ★★★ John says he will make two appearances in the next week; Chicago-area Nerdfighters can see him in La Grange on October 13. — 00:01:01 · Chicago, Nerdfighteria
  • ★★ John invites people over 21 in or near Indianapolis to hang out with him at a fundraiser on Saturday night. — 00:01:36 · Indianapolis
  • ★★ John asks Nerdfighters what he should call the sidebar, now that it isn't a sidebar. — 00:01:36 · link in the sidebar, Nerdfighteria
  • ★★ John tells viewers in the Bay Area to hang out with the Bay Area Nerdfighters this Saturday, October 10. — 00:01:36 · Nerdfighteria

00:01:36 — Part three: Amy Krouse Rosenthal's The Beckoning of Lovely; creeper gag; sign-off

  • ★★★ John recommends The Beckoning of Lovely, a profoundly moving community-based project his friend Amy Krouse Rosenthal is doing with many people, including many Nerdfighters. — 00:01:59 · Amy Krouse Rosenthal, Nerdfighteria
  • ★★ John hopes to see many Nerdfighters in Chicago and Indianapolis, promising presents and lots of hilarity. (hedged) — 00:02:29 · Chicago, Indianapolis

Humor (significant)

  • Recalling Victoria Beckham's girl group, John acts out their song promising to say what they really, really want. — 00:00:32 > «they just wanted to zig a zig ah, which is not even a thing.»
  • The subtitle of Victoria Beckham's 'That Extra Half an Inch' is 'Hair, Heels, and Everything in Between'. — 00:01:01 > «a lot of what occurs between your hair and your heels is, in fact, in your pants.»
  • Explaining appearances: instead of a rectangle inside your computer, John becomes a full-fledged person. — 00:01:01 > «Arguably too much full, not enough fledged.»
