Twenty Questions and Michael Collins

2009-07-21 · Hank · watch on YouTube · Internet & YouTube · comedy performance

Hank plays 20Q.net thinking of John, which after misses finally guesses 'John Green, author', proving John officially famous; he then laments that Apollo astronaut Michael Collins is so forgotten that 20Q guesses Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin instead.

What is said

00:00:00 — Hank plays 20Q as John: odd questions, guesses Neil Armstrong and Rodney Mullen, then 'John Green, author'; officially famous; 'part of a team'

  • ★★ Hank says he played 20Q.net thinking of John; it asked off-base questions and guessed Neil Armstrong and Rodney Mullen. (playful) — 00:00:00 · John Green
  • ★★★ Hank reports 20Q then guessed 'John Green, author', and declares this the definition of famous: John is now officially famous. (playful) — 00:00:29 · John Green, celebrity
  • ★★ Hank says 20Q knowing John is definitely the Nerdfighters' doing, and he is under no illusions about it. — 00:00:56 · Nerdfighteria
  • ★ Hank says 20Q noted other users said John isn't part of a team, which Hank disputes. (playful) — 00:00:56

00:01:38 — Rodney Mullen is an awesome skateboarder; 20Q thinks Hank is Joe Jonas; poor Michael Collins, who never walked on the moon

  • ★★ Hank finds Rodney Mullen is a super awesome skateboarder, accepts the Perez Hilton guess for himself, and reports 20Q thinks he is Joe Jonas when he plays as himself. (playful) — 00:01:38
  • ★★★ Hank pities Michael Collins: people at least know Buzz Aldrin, but nobody knows Collins, who didn't even get to walk on the moon. (playful) — 00:01:38

00:02:22 — 20Q as Michael Collins guesses Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin; gifts for Mike; moral; John more famous than Collins; sign-off

  • ★★ Hank plays 20Q as Michael Collins: it first guesses Neil Armstrong at question 17 and Buzz Aldrin at question 20, which he calls Collins's whole life summed up. (playful) — 00:02:22
  • ★ Hank objects that other 20Q users said Collins died an untimely death: he is not dead, though Hank admits he hasn't heard much about him lately. (playful) (hedged) — 00:02:22
  • ★★ Hank concludes he shouldn't be upset if 20Q doesn't know him, since he hasn't been to the moon, and congratulates John on being more famous than the astronaut who stayed in the craft. (playful) — 00:02:53 · John Green, celebrity

Humor (dominant)

  • 20Q keeps asking whether John plays sports, uses a ball or plays in the NFL. — 00:00:29 > «It's like 2 billion percent off. And then it guessed you were Neil Armstrong.»
  • Hank, already guessed as Perez Hilton, plays 20Q as himself. — 00:01:38 > «I just play it as me and it thinks I'm Joe Jonas.»
  • Playing as Michael Collins, 20Q's first guess is Neil Armstrong; Hank answers as Collins. — 00:02:22 > «No, I'm not Neil Armstrong! I will never be Neil Armstrong!»
  • Hank congratulates John on 20Q knowing him. — 00:02:53 > «You are officially more famous than the dude who went to the moon but didn't get out of the boat.»
