Lower-confidence wave

2011 videos did not pass the QA gate (17 %); their analysis is shown but less reliable.

John recounts how Hank's brief humping of Google in a recent video, and Nerdfighter Mattie Boosh's Tumblr animation of Hank humping the TARDIS, launched 'Humpy Hank', then presents Karen Kavett's music video of the animations.

What is said

00:00:00 — Warning; origin of Humpy Hank: Hank humps Google, Mattie Boosh's TARDIS animation on Tumblr

  • ★★ The description says the video collects animations of Hank humping an astonishing variety of people and animals (and himself) into a single music video. (playful) — 00:00:00 · Hank Green
  • ★ The description jokingly draws a lesson: never put video of yourself humping on the Internet, or the Internet will make you pay. (playful) — 00:00:00
  • ★★ John reminds Hank that he recently made a video in which he briefly humped Google. (playful) — 00:00:05 · Hank Green, Google
  • ★★★ John says that a couple of days later Nerdfighter Mattie Boosh posted an animation of Hank humping the TARDIS on his Tumblr, and the Humpy Hank phenomenon was born. (playful) — 00:00:05 · Tumblr, Hank Green

00:01:48 — Yeats parody 'what rough Humpy Hank'; credit to Karen Kavett; John leaves for Amsterdam; sign-off

  • ★★ John credits Nerdfighter Karen Kavett with making the music video, calls her awesome and says everyone should subscribe to her. — 00:02:00 · Karen Kavett
  • ★★ John tells Hank he has to go to Amsterdam. — 00:02:03 · Amsterdam

Humor (dominant)

  • John warns that today's video is not suitable for young children. — 00:00:01 > «Or anyone.»
  • Calling it a historical moment, John is reminded of the great poet William Butler Yeats, who famously wrote: — 00:01:48 > «And what rough Humpy Hank, his hour come round at last, slouches towards Youtube, to be born?»
