What is said

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

00:00:00 — Interview with the returning Demon Four-Year-Old: the three-pound brain, his name Intumescence shortened to Toomey, his favourite food (penguins)

  • ★★ Hank brings back for an interview the 'Demon Four-Year-Old', a 'friend' he introduced a couple of weeks ago whom viewers liked though Hank is not a big fan. (playful) — 00:00:00
  • ★ Demon Four Year Old: The Demon Four-Year-Old opens with the fact that a human brain weighs three pounds. (playful) — 00:00:00
  • ★★ Asked to introduce himself, the demon says 'Intumescence'; Hank looks it up on his phone ('a swelling up with blood or other fluids') and shortens it to Toomey. (joke) — 00:00:29
  • ★ Demon Four Year Old: Toomey says his favourite food is penguins, which taste of codfish and auroch heart, and that he likes Glenn Beck, at which Hank ends the interview. (joke) — 00:01:18

00:01:49 — Toomey likes Glenn Beck and the interview ends; Hank proposes both brothers complete their owed punishments within seven days

  • ★★★ Hank notes both brothers owe punishments (his makeup tutorial is not done; John is unpunished) and proposes an agreement that both be complete seven days from now. (hedged) — 00:01:49 · John Green, Punishment

00:02:17 — John banished; secret project for John's August 24 birthday video with thousands of Nerdfighters: sign up for the mailing list at nerdfighters.com

  • ★★★ With John banished from watching, Hank says John's birthday is August 24 and he plans a video made as no video ever has been, featuring thousands of Nerdfighters. — 00:02:17 · John Green, Nerdfighteria
  • ★★★ Hank asks Nerdfighters to join by signing up for the secret project mailing list at nerdfighters.com, reading the emails, and watching the instructional videos linked at the end. — 00:02:48 · nerdfighters.com, Nerdfighteria

00:03:16 — Sign-off, then a stinger fact about the length of a pig's orgasm

  • ★ After signing off, Hank says a pig's orgasm lasts over 30 minutes and wonders who measured it. (playful) — 00:03:16

Humor (significant)

  • The demon four-year-old gives his name; Hank looks the word up on his phone. — 00:00:29

    “Intumescence, a swelling up with blood or other fluids.”

  • Hank hopes Toomey misunderstood the question when he names penguins as his favourite food. — 00:01:18

    “They taste of codfish mixed with the heart of an auroch.”

  • Asked what else he likes, the demon names a political commentator. — 00:01:49

    “I like Glenn Beck. Okay, and that is officially where the interview ends.”

  • Hank's after-sign-off stinger: a pig's orgasm lasts over 30 minutes. — 00:03:16

    “who is the guy with the electrodes measuring the quivering of the pig genitalia”
