Brotherhood 2.0: February 27, 2007: Horseradish Challenge

2007-02-27 · John · watch on YouTube · Nerdfighteria · comedy performance

Tired after a late night cataloguing his books on LibraryThing, John sets Hank a challenge to do something awesome with Nerdfighters, then performs Hank's challenge without the hat: he sings the Blossom theme lines and eats a teaspoon of horseradish.

What is said

00:00:00 — Greeting; John misstates the date (jokes about time travel to 2011), corrects it; he is very tired and off to buy horseradish

  • ★ John is extremely tired and on his way, early in the morning, to the grocery store to buy horseradish. — 00:00:10

00:00:35 — Up late cataloguing books on LibraryThing; John challenges Hank to do something awesome with Nerdfighters; no hat, since Sarah owns only baseball caps

  • ★★ John is tired because he stayed up way past his bedtime cataloguing his books on librarything.com. — 00:00:35
  • ★★★ Before doing his own challenge, John sets Hank one: do something awesome with Nerdfighters; he adds that viewers have had excellent ideas for how to do it. — 00:00:35 · Hank Green, Nerdfighteria
  • ★★ John says he will not wear a hat for Hank's challenge because Sarah owns no hats except baseball caps. (playful) — 00:00:35 · Sarah Urist Green

00:01:04 — John sings the Blossom theme lines and riffs on 'opinionation'; presents the teaspoon of horseradish

  • ★★ As 'a special treat' John sings lines of the Blossom theme song, then questions the lyric's 'opinionation' that the sun will surely shine. (playful) — 00:01:04

00:01:34 — John eats the horseradish in little bites, suffers, finishes; sign-off

  • ★★★ John, who has never eaten horseradish, eats a teaspoon of it in little bites, finds it horrible and his stomach hurts, but finishes it. (playful) — 00:01:34

Humor (significant)

  • John misstates the date as Friday, February 25th, and wonders why. — 00:00:10 > «Either that or I've traveled forward in time to the year 2011.»
  • After singing Blossom's 'in my opinionation, the sun is gonna surely shine', John asks if the song means the sun will shine eventually. — 00:01:04 > «Because that's not just your opinionation. That's also a reasonable assumption.»
  • Midway through the horseradish, John compares it to the chin-waxing he did as a punishment earlier. — 00:02:24 > «This is like waxing your chin only longer.»
