What is said

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

Humor (significant)

  • Hank has put 'fart fart fart' up as an on-screen lower third and offers another version; John objects: — 00:00:09

    “No, that's — that's just four farts.”

  • Told 'we're talking about butts', Felicia Day lists synonyms: a heiney, a derriere, a badonkadonk, her favourite. — 00:01:36

    “That's the, uh, scientific term?”

  • Matthew Gaydos asks if Hank's onesie costume makes him a baby; Hank says a space alien, obviously. — 00:02:44

    “Neither baby nor alien. He was BUTFARTMAN.”

  • After a chant about lighting up farts on Fartmas Day, Hank offers a mock-solemn Christmas benediction: — 00:03:14

    “And remember that we are all but farts in the butt of Butfartman.”
