What is said

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

00:00:00 — Pizzamas greeting and definition; why John hasn't shaved

• ★ John notes he only gets to say 'Good morning Hank, it's Monday' once a year, on Pizzamas. (playful) — 00:00:00 · Pizzamas
• ★★ John defines Pizzamas as two weeks of weekday videos between the brothers to celebrate brotherhood and affection; Hank adds pizza, John adds e-commerce. — 00:00:06 · Pizzamas, Hank Green, Pizza John · also in: John and Hank Hanging Out but they Keep Getting Younger and More Pixelated
• ★★ John hasn't shaved since the book came out; when Hank guesses luck or AFC Wimbledon, John answers 'That's the business!' (playful) — 00:00:15 · Turtles All the Way Down, AFC Wimbledon

00:00:27 — Haul in the DFTBA.com warehouse: sunshade, hat and designers' Pizzamas shirts

• ★★★ From the DFTBA.com warehouse John announces that the Pizzamas items are on sale only for the next two weeks and starts an unboxing haul with Hank. — 00:00:27 · DFTBA Records, Pizzamas
• ★ Hank: The haul opens with a Pizzamas car sunshade and a Pizzamas hat. — 00:00:45 · Pizzamas
• ★★★ Hank: Every year different designers make Pizzamas designs, their take on Pizza John; Hank shows Lily Nashita's chibi John, Swerve's drippy pizza face and one by Thought Cafe. — 00:01:01 · Pizza John, Pizzamas
• ★★ John shows designs by Evan Palmer and Joey Chou, all available at DFTBA.com only for two weeks. — 00:01:18 · DFTBA Records
• ★★ John says this is the best year of Pizzamas ever. (hedged) — 00:01:32 · Pizzamas
• ★★★ Hank: Managing Pizzamas is one of Hank's favourite things each year: he tells designers to be weird, and the weirder it is, the happier he is. — 00:01:39 · Pizzamas

00:01:50 — John's gratitude for Pizzamas; the mustache and a poll on it

• ★★★ John feels Pizzamas is a gift Hank gives him every year, the weirdest time of year, with daily videos made only to hawk weird Pizza John merch, and he is grateful. (hedged) — 00:01:50 · Hank Green, Pizza John, Pizzamas
• ★★ John loves that every designer worked in the mustache: it's almost like his mustache is actually awesome and people like it. (playful) — 00:02:05
• ★★ Hank announces a poll beside the video: viewers should say whether they like John's mustache and want it to stay (John asks them to say that they do). — 00:02:12

00:02:23 — Pajama top, sweatshirt, fidget spinner and Pizza John shot glass

• ★★ John shows a comfy pajama top, a sweatshirt designed by Beth Radloff, a high-quality Pizza John fidget spinner and his last surprise, a Pizza John shot glass. — 00:02:23 · Pizza John
• ★ John notes the shot glass is a first, a sign Nerdfighteria is getting older; Hank says you can drink anything from it, like Ovaltine. (playful, hedged) — 00:03:09 · Nerdfighteria

00:03:20 — Lapel pin, Coke-stained posters for NAMI, cocktail contest; sign-off

• ★★ Hank: A lapel pin is only pictured, not yet in stock; the brothers signed posters and John spilled Coca-Cola on a bunch of them. — 00:03:20
• ★★★ The Coke-stained posters will be discounted, and all profits from the posters will go to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). — 00:03:28 · also in: John and Hank Hanging Out but they Keep Getting Younger and More Pixelated
• ★★★ Hank asks viewers to put a Pizza John cocktail, virgin and alcoholic, in the comments; they will select a top one. — 00:03:35 · Pizza John · also in: John and Hank Hanging Out but they Keep Getting Younger and More Pixelated
• ★★ John says the winner of the cocktail contest will be sent all the Pizzamas stuff, then jokes that the brothers will drink all the suggestions. — 00:03:41 · Pizzamas

In the description and comments

• ★★ The description explains Pizzamas: two weeks a year of daily videos as in 2007, and limited-edition merch with John's mustachioed face, made by Hank, DFTBA and designers. — video description · Pizzamas, Brotherhood 2.0, DFTBA Records, Pizza John

Humor (significant)

• Asked why he hasn't shaved since the book came out, John rejects Hank's guesses of luck and AFC Wimbledon. — 00:00:22

  “That's the business!”

• The Pizzamas car sunshade shows John's face. — 00:00:47

  “because nobody wants to rob this car.”

• Hank words the poll neutrally: tell us if you like John's mustache. — 00:02:18

  “I would say tell us THAT you like John's mustache and want it to stay.”

• John improvises how the cocktail contest will be judged. — 00:03:45

  “Hank and I will drink all of the suggestions”
