What is said

The parts of the video and what is said in each (★ — how much it matters to the video).

00:00:00 — The 'Free Hank' movement in the comments

  • ★★ John mocks the 'Free Hank' movement in the comments, with its posters and t-shirts, as a vocal minority making it seem Hank did nothing wrong. (playful) — 00:00:00
  • ★★ John says Hank broke the no-textual-communication rule by writing 'see you tomorrow' in text to him, so he will be punished. (playful) — 00:00:00 · No textual communication, Punishment

00:00:39 — Hank's punishment: 100 Peeps, six minutes, a dollar per uneaten Peep

  • ★★ John says the Free Hank campaign has led him to make Hank's punishment less mean than Hank's punishments of John have been. (playful, hedged) — 00:00:39 · Punishment
  • ★★★ John sets the punishment: Hank buys 100 full-sized Peeps and eats as many as he can in six minutes, then gives the uneaten ones to worthy recipients in Missoula. (playful) — 00:00:39 · Peeps, Missoula, Montana, Punishment
  • ★ John says, citing the Internet, that 100 full-sized Peeps will cost Hank approximately $19. (playful) — 00:01:14 · Peeps
  • ★★★ For each Peep Hank does not eat, he must put one dollar into a new bank account John has set up. (playful) — 00:01:36 · Foundation to Decrease World Suck, Peeps
  • ★ John warns Hank not to choke: nobody should die during Brotherhood 2.0, since it is easy to aspirate Peeps. (playful) — 00:01:36 · Brotherhood 2.0, Peeps

00:02:05 — The Brotherhood 2.0 fund for decreasing suck levels worldwide; sign-off

  • ★★★ John names the account the Brotherhood 2.0 Fund for Decreasing Suck Levels Worldwide, formerly the 'Melissa and Amy Concert Fund', to be fed by the brothers and possibly viewers. — 00:02:05 · Foundation to Decrease World Suck, Brotherhood 2.0

  • ★★★ John tells Hank the punishment is also a project: they are starting something important to decrease the world's suck, by an amount that depends on how many Peeps he eats. — 00:02:05 · world suck, Foundation to Decrease World Suck, Punishment, Peeps

    “decrease the overall level of the world's suck”

  • ★ John suggests the fund might first send Melissa to a concert and then help cure malaria. (playful, hedged) — 00:02:05

Humor (significant)

  • John describes the posters and t-shirts of the Free Hank movement. — 00:00:00

    “They can make it seem like you didn't do anything wrong at all.”

  • Announcing the punishment, John splits it into a part Hank will like and a part he will hate. — 00:00:39

    “There's the part that you'll like, peeps, and the part that you'll hate, spending money.”

  • Peeps will cost Hank about $19, which John ranks against an earlier chin-waxing punishment. — 00:01:14

    “which I realize will be significantly more painful than waxing your chin”
