2007-03-29 · letter vlog · John · 2:03 · watch on YouTube

Topic: Nerdfighteria (also: Personal life, Economics) · mode: Comedy & performance · tags: punishment or challenge, community lore

Back home with his eye still looking jacked up, John gleefully tells Hank he will be punished for accidentally including John on an email about Mom, proposes that the brothers get fishing boat proceeds onto their tax return by April 2008, and asks Nerdfighters to suggest Hank's punishment.

What is said

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

00:00:00 — Back home from the hospital; the eye still looks bad; Hank's accidental email about Mom means a punishment

  • ★★★ John says he is back home. — 00:00:00 · John Green
  • ★★ John says his eye still looks jacked up and probably will for a week or two, and hopes the Nerdfighters will understand. (hedged) — 00:00:00 · Nerdfighteria
  • ★★★ John gleefully tells Hank that Hank accidentally included him on a list of people he emailed about Mom, so Hank is going to be punished. (playful) — 00:00:00 · Hank Green, Sydney Green, Punishment

00:00:38 — How to punish Hank (whack, sing, eat, snort); Hank's video yesterday and fishing boat proceeds

  • ★★ John says he has had a hard week and looks forward to Hank having a hard week next week (week of 2 April 2007), while wondering what punishment to give him. (playful) — 00:00:38 · Punishment

00:01:08 — Proposal to get fishing boat proceeds onto their tax return by April 2008; still can't see out of the eye

  • ★★ Inspired by Hank's video, John proposes that by April 2008 he and Hank find a way to put some fishing boat proceeds into their tax return. (playful) — 00:01:08 · fishing boat proceeds, Hank Green
  • ★★ John says he still can't see very well out of that eye. — 00:01:08

00:01:31 — Wish for a resident ophthalmologist; ask for punishment suggestions; does the eye look better; sign-off

  • ★★ Noting that Brotherhood 2.0 has a resident mathematician in Daniel Biss, John wishes it had a resident ophthalmologist and asks someone to get on that. (playful) — 00:01:31 · Brotherhood 2.0, Daniel Biss
  • ★★★ Not feeling creative, John asks Nerdfighters to help decide Hank's punishment by leaving suggestions in the comments. — 00:01:31 · Nerdfighteria, Punishment, Hank Green
  • ★★ John asks viewers to tell him honestly whether his eye looks better, because he really wants it to get better. — 00:01:31

Humor (significant)

  • Listing ways to punish Hank (whack, sing, eat something), John lands on making him snort something. — 00:00:38

    “Snorting is funny. Snorting is always funny.”

  • John explains that all you need is a fishing boat and someone to give you proceeds for it. — 00:01:08

    “I'm not good at taxes.”

  • John signs off to Hank while he still cannot see well out of one eye. — 00:01:31

    “Hank, I'll see you tomorrow. Hopefully out of both eyes.”
