200 People in Your Pants

Lower-confidence wave

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

After a night of building Your Pants, Hank tours the items on his bookshelf instead of making an annotated video, shows the chosen Your Pants logo, and opens the forum to its first 200 members.

What is said

00:00:00 — Up all night working on Your Pants; the Facebook app's 'remove Your Pants' messages

  • ★★ The description says John and Hank will be talking more about Moon Pasta soon, and links a video Hank calls genius. — 00:00:00 · John Green
  • ★★ Hank and his team worked all day and late into the night on Your Pants, including integrating Facebook; he is very tired from coding CSS and hacking it. — 00:00:02 · Your Pants, Facebook
  • ★ The Your Pants Facebook application produces messages like 'Are you sure you want to remove Your Pants?', which Hank says sounds like a bad text-based romance simulator. (playful) — 00:00:10 · Your Pants, in your pants

00:00:28 — Instead of an annotated video: a tour of the toys, books and gifts on Hank's bookshelf

  • ★★ Instead of making a giant annotated video linking everything on his bookshelf, Hank shows a few items up close so viewers stop asking so many questions about it. — 00:00:28
  • ★★ Hank shows a gift from Dark Horse Comics, an Orlando Solar Bears item from his dad (they went to hockey games), a Nerdfighter's gift, and Episode I figures dueling. — 00:00:38
  • ★★ Hank shows his Bobble-John, Sandman comics and other graphic novels, Terry Pratchett, Mars trilogy and Neil Gaiman books and DFTBA CDs; his Hunger Games is loaned out. — 00:00:56 · Neil Gaiman, DFTBA Records
  • ★ Hank also shows two giraffes, Cowboy Bebop's Jet, his junior-cotillion photo, a Pro Image of soccer-days John, VidCon and LeakyCon programs, an 'evil baby Hitler' and a concept Chevy Volt. (playful) — 00:01:09 · giraffe, John Green, VidCon, LeakyCon, Evil Baby Orphanage, Adolf Hitler
  • ★ Hank ends with Yoda, Nerdfighter-made anglerfish and penguins, Mace Windu, Gungans, the original Scuzzy Kizoozle Curl, Han Solo, a narwhal spearing a seal and a battered Jar Jar. (playful) — 00:01:44

00:02:27 — Logos for Your Pants from Twitter; the chosen logo and the YP sign made with a clone

  • ★★ Hank asked on Twitter for Your Pants logos and got many; the consensus and his heart go to one submitter's logo, which invites people to make the YP sign together. — 00:02:27 · Your Pants, Twitter

00:03:05 — Your Pants opens to the first 200 people: go and sign up

  • ★★★ Hank opens Your Pants for business, but only to the first 200 people, a limited public release so that nothing crashes or breaks. — 00:03:05 · Your Pants
  • ★★★ Hank asks viewers to go to Your Pants right now and sign up if they can. — 00:03:18 · Your Pants
  • ★★ Hank says they will 'theoretically' open Your Pants to everyone very soon. (hedged) — 00:03:24 · Your Pants

Humor (significant)

  • The Facebook app's 'remove Your Pants' messages sound like a bad text-based romance simulator, so Hank types a reply. — 00:00:23 > «You are touching the boob.»
  • Hank points out two giraffes at opposite ends of his shelf. — 00:01:09 > «which is too bad for those giraffes.»
  • Hank's Jar Jar Binks figure seems to have been in some kind of accident. — 00:02:17 > «as if someone was not a big fan of him when that movie first came out.»
  • Hank explains why he is so tired after a night of work on the forum. — 00:03:34 > «I've been doing lots of things to Your Pants, all night long.»
