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 for Valentine's candy at Target; greeting

00:00:33 — Taste test with Katherine: Oreos, Reese's, chocolates, conversation hearts, Nerds, kisses, Fun Dip

  • ★ Katherine Green: Katherine agrees the Oreo is the perfect cookie but is there for the red velvet version's cream cheese icing. — 00:00:33 · Katherine Green
  • ★ Katherine Green: Katherine is wild about the leopard-shaped Reese's and bets they will end up in the background of Hank's videos. (playful) — 00:00:50 · Katherine Green
  • ★ Hank hates strawberry and chocolate, but finds a chocolate strawberry candy like a Pop-Tart with chocolate. — 00:01:19
  • ★ Hank says the quality control on the conversation hearts has gone out the window. — 00:01:40
  • ★ Hank loves Nerds and hasn't had one in a long time; cotton candy should only happen in one place and he feels weird buying it at a store. — 00:02:03
  • ★ Trolli sour hearts are Hank's favorite sugar-based candy so far. — 00:02:17
  • ★ Hank says Hershey's Kisses got their shape from being drops of chocolate, but truffle kisses are manufactured in that shape so something can go inside. — 00:02:18
  • ★ Hank suspects Fun Dip's mystery flavor is a lie: the makers didn't buy flavoring for the batch, meaning it is just sugar. (playful, hedged) — 00:03:00

00:03:23 — They don't usually celebrate Valentine's Day; Valentine wishes

  • ★★ Hank says he and Katherine don't usually celebrate Valentine's Day, but this year (2017) they did this. — 00:03:23 · Katherine Green

00:03:37 — Poster sale raised $71,000 for refugee resettlement organizations; thanks; sign-off

  • ★★★ Hank reports that last weekend's (4–5 February 2017) poster sale raised $71,000, so $7,100 goes to each of 10 refugee resettlement organizations in America. — 00:03:37 · United States

Humor (dominant)

  • The Valentine candy hearts aren't even Star Wars themed, and one says 'bling' — 00:00:08

    “You know, exactly what you'd expect the stormtrooper to say.”

  • A rose chocolate is made in Belgium and packed in China — 00:01:06

    “Wow, this chocolate has been everywhere.”

  • Katherine imagines a Clue piece inside a truffle kiss: Professor Poop, in the bathroom, with toilet paper — 00:02:34

    “Toilet paper murders!?”

  • Hank offers Katherine a taste of his Fun Dip — 00:03:10

    “You want me to put my licking stick into your licking hole?”
