Hank sings a comic song in iPod-commercial style about vegetables that look like penises, calls it his gift (or punishment) to Nerdfighteria for 100,000 subscribers, thanks YouTube and Nerdfighters for letting him be weird without feeling weird, and plugs a secret-project mailing list.

What is said

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

00:00:00 — Hank's song about vegetables that look like penises, in iPod-commercial styling

  • ★★ Hank sings a song dedicated to vegetables that look like penises, listing several of them and lamenting that they were meant as food but became a source of juvenile laughter. (joke) — 00:00:11

00:01:57 — The song as a gift or punishment for 100,000 subscribers; Nerdfighteria's gift to Hank

  • ★★ Hank says the song was maybe his gift to Nerdfighteria for helping the channel reach 100,000 subscribers, or possibly his punishment, depending on perspective. (playful, hedged) — 00:01:57 · Nerdfighteria
  • ★★★ Hank says Nerdfighteria's gift to him is a reason to make whatever he wants, like a penis-vegetable song with iPod-commercial styling, without justifying it: people will just say 'that's Hank'. — 00:02:05 · Nerdfighteria

00:02:23 — Thanks to YouTube and Nerdfighters; the secret-project mailing list at nerdfighters.com

  • ★★ Hank thanks YouTube and Nerdfighters for making it possible for him to be weird and not feel weird about it. — 00:02:30 · YouTube, Nerdfighteria

    “thank you Nerdfighters for making it possible for me to be weird and not have to feel weird about it”

  • ★★★ Hank asks people interested in a secret project to sign up for the secret-project mailing list at nerdfighters.com; those who do within 24 hours will get an email about an important secret project he is excited about. — 00:02:40 · nerdfighters.com

00:02:49 — The unused grocery-store vegetable: what to do with it and what it is; off to edit Truth or Fail

  • ★ Hank asks commenters what to do with the cucumber-or-zucchini he bought for the video but did not use, and which it is, insisting on nothing dirty. (playful) — 00:03:11
  • ★ Hank ends the video to get to work editing Truth or Fail. — 00:03:26

Humor (dominant)

  • Hank wonders whether the song was his gift to Nerdfighteria for 100,000 subscribers. — 00:01:57

    “Or possibly it was my punishment to Nerdfighteria for helping us get 100,000 subscribers”

  • Hank says nobody will question a penis-vegetable song with iPod-commercial styling. — 00:02:23

    “They're just gonna be like oh yeah that's Hank.”

  • Hank notices the vegetable he is holding. — 00:02:49

    “I bought this at the grocery store to use in the video and I didn't use it in the video, oops.”

  • Hank asks for suggestions about the vegetable, nothing dirty. — 00:03:11

    “This isn't equals three, people.”
