August 21: Hairy Hairy Head Hair

2007-08-22 · Hank · watch on YouTube · Personal life · comedy performance

Hank riffs on his own overdue haircut - hair that grows outward and into his ears and, he jokes, would eventually kill him - and muses that Nerdfighters, once downtrodden, are now 'the jokesest of the jokes'.

What is said

00:00:25 — Hank needs a haircut too: the hair 'game', Julia Roberts in Steel Magnolias, hair that grows out and into his ears, Devil's Snare, haircuts save his life, $20

  • ★★ Replying to John, Hank says John isn't the only one who needs a haircut. (playful) — 00:00:25 · John Green
  • ★ Hank says he loves the 'game' John played yesterday, and shows his hair getting bigger as he keeps talking. (playful) — 00:00:25
  • ★★ Hank says he and John both have hair that grows out rather than down, bigger instead of longer (thanks, Dad), except near the ears, where it grows in. (playful) — 00:00:49 · John Green
  • ★★ Hank jokes that long hair would first impede his hearing and then, like Devil's Snare, grow into his brain and kill him, so he keeps it trimmed. (joke) (hedged) — 00:01:23
  • ★★ Hank calls paying someone $20 for a haircut an exorbitant grooming ritual of no practical value, justified only because, he jokes, haircuts save his life. (playful) — 00:01:23

00:02:01 — Nerdfighters are jokes: nerds but made of awesome, centre of the universe at Winner, 'the jokesest of the jokes'; permanent hair damage and a scissor apocalypse; sign-off

  • ★★ Hank finds it strange that Nerdfighters, not supposed to be 'jokes' (cool), kind of are: nerds but made of awesome, once the downtrodden masses, now 'the jokesest of the jokes'. (playful) (hedged) — 00:02:01 · Nerdfighteria, made of awesome
  • ★★ Hank notes that the Nerdfighter Center of the Universe is at a place called Winner. (playful) — 00:02:01 · Nerdfighteria
  • ★ Hank thinks he may have permanently damaged his hair, which might stop its ear-invading and help in a scissor apocalypse; he admits that wasn't funny. (joke) (hedged) — 00:02:01

Humor (dominant)

  • Hank spins his hair around until it puffs up. — 00:00:25 > «I look like Julia Roberts from Steel Magnolias.»
  • Hank's long hair would grow into his brain like Devil's Snare, so he'd cast a light spell. — 00:01:23 > «But it wouldn't work because there's no way to get light into my brain.»
  • Hank explains why he submits to paying for haircuts. — 00:01:23 > «I firmly believe that I get haircuts in order to save my life.»
  • Nerdfighters, once the bottom of the downtrodden masses, have risen. — 00:02:01 > «are now totally the jokesest of the jokes»
