What is said

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

00:00:00 — Greeting; fuzzy horns on his head and glasses

00:00:25 — Halloween is Nerdfighterly; no parties because he is packing for the Nerdfighter tour

  • ★★ Hank calls Halloween a very Nerdfighterly day: Nerdfighters don't need an excuse to be weird, and he thinks they should do it every day. (playful, hedged) — 00:00:25 · Nerdfighteria
  • ★★ Hank can't really take part in Halloween, no parties, only giving out candy, because he is packing to begin the Nerdfighter tour very soon. — 00:00:34 · Tour de Nerdfighting

00:00:46 — Costume reveal: Edward Spoonhands; the Edward and Edwina Spoonhands song

  • ★★★ Hank says the obvious costume for him is Edward Spoonhands, and that viewers who don't know what that is will find out now. (playful) — 00:00:46 · spoon fingers

  • ★★★ Hank sings a repeated song: Edward and Edwina Spoonhands can hardly eat cereal or type, but agree it's not as bad as it could be, so they clack their fingers and sing. (fiction) — 00:00:59 · spoon fingers

    “But they both agree It's not as bad as it could be”

00:02:47 — 'Nerdfighters!'; see John tomorrow at the airport, tour begins; Geordi La Forge look

  • ★★ Hank will see John the next day at the airport as the tour begins. — 00:02:58 · John Green, Tour de Nerdfighting
  • ★ Wearing fuzzy horns on his glasses, Hank says he can't see what it looks like but it seems like Geordi La Forge with horns instead of goggles. (playful, hedged) — 00:03:10

  • ★ video description: In the description Hank thanks Sistersalad for the word 'Spwn'. — video description

Humor (dominant)

  • Hank tries on a pair of fuzzy horns. — 00:00:13

    “These aren't really men horns.”

  • Hank builds up to the obvious Halloween costume for him. — 00:00:50

    “Edward Spoonhands.”

  • The spoon-fingered couple's hard life, sung. — 00:01:03

    “They can hardly eat cereal And they can only type about three words a minute”

  • Hank, horns resting on his glasses, guesses what he looks like. — 00:03:10

    “But with horns instead of, you know, sight vision goggles.”
