2007-11-09 · Hank · watch on YouTube · Nerdfighteria · comedy performance

Back home in his basement, Hank sympathises with John's ear infection and unveils a homemade John Green Peep made by a nerdfighter, then eats her EcoGeek-logo Peeps into a sugar high.

What is said

00:00:00 — Back home in the basement: posters, guitars, labelled party blowers, mouse versus touchpad

  • ★★ Hank is back home after being out of town for a very long time and loves being in his basement. — 00:00:00
  • ★ Hank shows his basement: InuYasha, Cowboy Bebop and They Might Be Giants posters, a map of Narnia, Katherine's guitar and his, and party blowers labelled by note. (playful) — 00:00:00 · They Might Be Giants, Katherine Green
  • ★ Hank says he did about 40 hours of work a week on a touchpad while on vacation, now hates touchpads and loves his mouse. (playful) — 00:00:38

00:01:02 — John's ear infection and morphine shot; Hank has a surprise in a Ziploc bag

  • ★★ Hank learned by phone that John feels terrible, with an ear infection that required a morphine shot, and says he is sorry. — 00:01:02 · John Green

00:01:30 — The John Green Peep made by a nerdfighter; eating it while discussing Chad; EcoGeek-logo Peeps and the 'I love it' sugar high

  • ★★★ Hank unveils a homemade marshmallow Peep shaped like John, made by a nerdfighter, fulfilling John's stated lifelong ambition; Hank says nerdfighters can make dreams come true. — 00:01:30 · Peeps, Nerdfighteria
  • ★ Hank describes the Peep's details: a Brotherhood 2.0 shirt, John's wedding ring, glasses and hair. (playful) — 00:01:30 · Brotherhood 2.0
  • ★★ Hank says he will save the John Peep, maybe shipping it to John, but asks to eat it while discussing the political situation in Chad. (playful) (hedged) — 00:02:00
  • ★★ The nerdfighter also sent EcoGeek-logo Peeps and scraps; Hank has been eating them and, as when John made him eat Peeps early in the project, is on a sugar high. (playful) — 00:02:00 · EcoGeek, Peeps

00:02:49 — Peep verdict, sugar crash ahead, get well soon; no scavenger hunt clue today

  • ★★ Hank finds the homemade Peeps remarkably delicious, tasting like marshmallows but possibly better. — 00:02:49 · Peeps
  • ★★ Hank says there is no scavenger hunt clue today because he does not know John's plan and John is sick, and that the missing clue is not itself a clue. — 00:02:49 · Nerdfighter Scavenger Hunt

Humor (significant)

  • After a vacation of 40-hour work weeks on a touchpad. — 00:00:38 > «My finger is extremely strong, but he is also angry at me.»
  • John's ear infection makes loud voices hurt; Hank is too excited to care. — 00:01:02 > «Oh, does it hurt when people talk loud? I don't know, but I can't contain myself!»
  • Hank asks permission to eat the John Green Peep, echoing John's Pakistan-while-eating video. — 00:02:00 > «And I'll eat you while discussing the political situation in Chad.»
  • Overloaded on EcoGeek-logo marshmallow Peeps, Hank starts chanting. — 00:02:00 > «It's like I'm made of EcoGeek.»
