Performing his makeup-tutorial punishment, Hank buys makeup at Target, aims for Katniss Everdeen's lightly made-up opening-ceremonies look and botches it comically, then plugs Mockingjay and Ship Breaker and teases John's birthday.

What is said

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

00:00:00 — Makeup-tutorial punishment: nobody Hank knows owns makeup, so he and Katherine shop at Target

  • ★★ Hank has to make a makeup tutorial but neither he, Katherine nor anyone they know owns makeup, so they go to Target. (playful) — 00:00:04 · Katherine Green, Punishment

00:00:29 — Choosing Katniss Everdeen's opening-ceremonies look from The Hunger Games

  • ★★ Looking for a makeup wearer he admires, Hank picks Katniss Everdeen and reads that at the opening ceremonies her face is nearly clear of makeup, with some highlighting. (playful) — 00:00:34

00:00:59 — Hank applies foundation, eyeshadow and lip colour, badly

  • ★ Hank aims for a smoky but subtle District 12 look with silver shimmer and dark eyeshadow, and says it would have been awesome had he ever worn makeup before. (playful) — 00:01:43
  • ★ Hank says this is the third time he has put on makeup for a vlogbrothers video. — 00:02:46 · Vlogbrothers

00:03:02 — Plugs: Mockingjay out tomorrow, John's birthday tomorrow, Ship Breaker recommendation

  • ★★ Hank says Mockingjay, the next Hunger Games book, can be bought tomorrow and he is extremely excited about it. — 00:03:06
  • ★★ Hank notes tomorrow is John's birthday without discussing it, and tells John he will see Hank and a lot of Nerdfighters tomorrow. — 00:03:12 · John Green, Nerdfighteria
  • ★★ Hank recommends Paolo Bacigalupi's Ship Breaker, which he read while waiting for Mockingjay: two Nerdfighter symbols up. — 00:03:15

00:03:23 — Closing: women are pretty without makeup; see you tomorrow; editing with the makeup still on

  • ★★ Hank thanks women for wearing makeup on special occasions but says men think they are pretty all the time. (playful) — 00:03:23

Humor (dominant)

  • Hank explains why nobody he knows owns any makeup. — 00:00:09

    “because we are in the social group of people who do not highly prize the evenness of one's skin.”

  • Struggling to open a makeup package sealed in hard plastic, Hank wonders aloud who could manage it. — 00:01:31

    “God, what kind of woman is strong enough to do”

  • Applying dark 'dramatic smoky' eyeshadow while unable to see with his eyes closed, Hank reviews the result. — 00:02:14

    “I look like I've been beaten. With a hose.”

  • Realising he cannot remove the makeup he has just applied, Hank decides to eat a granola bar and edit his video as he is. — 00:03:37

    “No one's watching.”
