What is said

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

00:00:00 — Shopping at the food farm; rules of the second annual Hungry Games; brownies and three contestants

  • ★★★ Hank introduces the second annual Hungry Games: friends play a stupid game; the winner eats something delicious stuffed in a dessert, the loser something super terrible. (playful) — 00:00:06
  • ★★ Hank says this year (2013) they use brownies instead of cookies and three contestants instead of two: himself, Michael Aranda and Emily Graslie. — 00:00:24

00:00:43 — Making the brownies; the fishing game

  • ★ Hank explains the game's two components: they eat because they are hungry, and the fish (a fishing-pole game) are hungry too. (playful) — 00:00:57

00:01:20 — First rounds: sriracha, caviar, fish stick, beans

  • ★ Emily Graslie: Emily's brownie smells of sriracha; she likes it and says she will put sriracha in all her brownies from now on. (playful) — 00:01:30
  • ★★ Hank thinks a brownie filling is caviar and hopes caviar tastes good; when he tries the caviar brownie he screams and gags. (playful) — 00:01:39

00:02:32 — Later rounds: peanut butter, horseradish, Gorgonzola, wasabi peas, Spam

  • ★★ Other fillings revealed include a fish stick and beans; Michael wins peanut butter, Hank gets horseradish and Spam, Michael Gorgonzola and Emily wasabi peas. (playful) — 00:02:18

00:03:38 — Outdoing it next year; thanks; sign-off

  • ★★ Michael Aranda: Michael says all he can think about is how they are going to outdo this next year (2014). (playful) — 00:03:38

Humor (dominant)

  • Hank screams 'MY FACE!' after biting into the caviar brownie. — 00:01:59
