What is said

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

00:00:00 — At the grocery store: Hank and Michael Aranda's first Hunger Game, in honor of the release of The Hunger Games

  • ★★ Hank says he and Michael Aranda will play some Hunger Games in honor of the release of The Hunger Games: the first ever Hank and Michael Hunger Game. (playful) — 00:00:00

00:00:22 — The three hunger parts: no food since morning, Hungry Hungry Hippos, and weird cookies; the good pile and the bad pile

  • ★★ Hank explains the three hunger parts: they haven't eaten all day, they play Hungry Hungry Hippos, and they bake cookies with a different filling each in a good and a bad pile; the loser eats from the bad pile. (playful) — 00:00:22
  • ★ Listing the good-pile fillings, Hank includes 'John's favorite, a Peep'. (joke) — 00:00:57 · Peeps, John Green

00:01:15 — Baking: hiding fillings in cookie dough, decapitating Peeps, olives taste like poison

  • ★ Hank says people ask why he doesn't like olives, and he answers that they taste like poison. (playful) — 00:01:40

00:02:01 — Playing Hungry Hungry Hippos and eating the good and bad cookies (Twix, mustard, Pringles, Gushers, Easy Cheese, pickle, jerky, tuna, potted meat, egg)

  • ★★ The cookies eaten in the game include good ones (Twix; a chocolate chip and Gushers cookie rated 'A plus') and bad ones (mustard, Pringles, Easy Cheese, pickle, beef jerky, tuna, potted meat, egg, barbecued turkey). (playful) — 00:02:04

00:03:33 — No longer hungry; the 'first annual' Hunger Games; aware of the metaphorical implications; sign-off

  • ★ Hank says that after the cookies they are no longer hungry but the opposite: he'd like to take food out of his body. (playful) — 00:03:33
  • ★★ Hank thanks viewers for watching 'the first annual Hunger Games'; asked if it is annual, he says at his house, to Michael's dismay. (playful) — 00:03:43

Humor (dominant)

  • The second hunger part of their Hunger Games is a board game. — 00:00:29

    “Hungry Hungry Hippos which is a hunger game.”

  • Hank recounts being asked why he doesn't like olives. — 00:01:40

    “because they taste like poison!”

  • Hank says he is now the opposite of hungry and would like to take the food out of his body; Michael asks which end. — 00:03:35

    “-Which end? -Either.”

  • Wrapping up the 'first annual' Hunger Games of forced disgusting eating, named after a story of children made to kill each other. — 00:03:48

    “We are aware of the metaphorical implications of what we've just done.”
