Hank completes his punishment by trying to give away his leftover Peeps downtown in the cold; no one stops until a group of punk rockers takes them, and one, Kurt, eats 12 Peeps in a minute and a half, a quarter of Hank's time.

What is said

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

00:00:00 — Walking downtown in the snow offering free Peeps; nobody stops

  • ★★ Hank walks downtown on a cold, snowy Thursday trying to give away his Peeps, but people are in cars and will not stop. (playful) — 00:00:11 · Peeps
  • ★ Hank expected drunk college students downtown but finds business people and soccer moms on errands, who don't look like they want Peeps. (playful) — 00:00:36 · Peeps

00:01:03 — Hiding the camera; punk rockers down the street

  • ★ Unsure people will accept being filmed, Hank hides the camera and then keeps it running in his pocket to approach a group of punk rockers. (hedged) — 00:01:03

00:01:58 — Hidden-camera audio: the punks take the Peeps and Kurt eats 12

  • ★★ Hank offers a group of punk rockers his roughly hundred Peeps, saying he has been trying to give them away all day. (playful) — 00:01:58 · Peeps
  • ★★ a guest: One of the punks gladly accepts the Peeps and says they will competitively eat them among themselves. (playful) — 00:01:58 · Peeps
  • ★★★ One punk, Kurt, holds 12 Peeps in his hands and eats them in rapid succession while the others urge him on. — 00:02:27 · Peeps

00:03:17 — Kurt's reaction; 1.5 minutes vs six; four-minute sign-off

  • ★★ Hank calls the punks probably the most worthy recipients of Peeps he has ever seen. (playful, hedged) — 00:03:17 · Peeps
  • ★★★ Hank timed Kurt afterwards: he took a minute and a half to do what took Hank six minutes. — 00:03:17
  • ★ Hank says he felt very nauseous at the end of it and hopes Kurt is okay after so many Peeps so fast. — 00:03:17 · Peeps
  • ★★ Hank ends the video because he has to keep it under four minutes. — 00:03:48 · Four-minute rule

Humor (dominant)

  • Hank shouts 'free Peeps' at cars in the snow on John's orders. — 00:00:11

    “I kind of hate you a lot.”

  • Downtown by day is business people and soccer moms on errands, not drunk students. — 00:00:36

    “They don't look like they want peeps.”

  • Watching Kurt stuff Peeps into his mouth. — 00:02:27

    “Seriously, people die eating Peeps all the time.”

  • Asked how he feels after 12 Peeps. — 00:03:17

    “I feel like I have the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, like, fighting the Ghostbusters in my stomach.”
