For the first time in Brotherhood 2.0 the brothers appear together, on a beach in the Dominican Republic at a family reunion, after a sitcom-style theme-song opening; they miss Katherine, stuck at work in Montana, and close with outtakes.

What is said

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

00:00:00 — Both greetings, then a theme-song montage ('Show me that smile… we got each other')

00:01:18 — On the beach in the Dominican Republic at a family reunion: the reunion of the brotherhood; Katherine stuck in Montana doing weed research; wave to Katherine; 'see you in a couple of minutes'; outtakes introduced

  • ★★★ Asked by John what they are doing, Hank answers that they are lying on a beach in, of all places, the Dominican Republic, at a family reunion. — 00:01:18 · John Green
  • ★★ Asked by John for the most exciting part of the family reunion so far, Hank answers: the reunion of the brotherhood. (playful) — 00:01:18 · Brotherhood 2.0
  • ★★ Answering John, Hank says Katherine is not at the reunion because she is stuck at work in Montana. — 00:01:18 · Katherine Green, Montana
  • ★ Hank notes that John, unlike him, has his 'Yeti' (Sarah) with him at the reunion. (playful) — 00:01:41 · Sarah Urist Green
  • ★ Hank closes 'in the great tradition of Brotherhood 2.0 special features' with outtakes. (playful) — 00:01:41 · Brotherhood 2.0

00:02:13 — Outtakes: a 'testicle flop', drowning of testicle pain, 'you can't pants me'

Humor (significant)

  • Told that Katherine is stuck at work in Montana, which really sucks, one brother qualifies it. — 00:01:41

    “Well, it would suck, except that she's doing weed research.”

  • Sitting beside his brother on the beach, Hank gives the usual daily sign-off. — 00:01:41

    “John, I will see you in a couple of minutes.”

  • In the outtakes one brother does a 'testicle flop' into the water. — 00:02:13

    “You're going to be the first person to ever drown of testicle pain.”
