What is said

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

00:00:00 — John's mustache returns; Pizzamas 2022 begins

  • ★★ John says his mustache is back and not for the better: letting it grow longer this year (2022) did not help, it looks like it does every year. (playful) — 00:00:00 · Pizza John
  • ★★★ John announces Pizzamas: two weeks when he and Hank make videos every weekday like in 2007 and sell items with John's mustache at pizzamas.com for charity. — 00:00:00 · Pizzamas, Hank Green

00:00:29 — Unboxing and listing the Pizzamas 2022 merch, proceeds to health care in Sierra Leone

  • ★ John says he seems to have been sent only small t-shirts, maybe to make him buy his own merch, so his kids will model them. (playful, hedged) — 00:00:29
  • ★★ John shows this year's (2022) shirts: a Pizza John baseball jersey, a Shrek-themed design he calls hard to pronounce but beautiful to wear, a design from his Cars vs. series whose car has a mustache, Pizza John in a pizza box, and a pizza rainbow John. — 00:00:29 · Pizza John, Cars vs.
  • ★★ John says the designs are all so good, not merely 'Pizzamas good' but actually good, except the Shrek one, which is Pizzamas good. (playful) — 00:00:58 · Pizzamas
  • ★★★ John says everything is available only during this year's (2022) Pizzamas at pizzamas.com, with all proceeds supporting stronger health care systems in Sierra Leone. — 00:00:58 · Pizzamas, Sierra Leone
  • ★★ Beyond the shirts there are Pizzamas fridge magnets, stickers of this year's (2022) designs, a car air freshener in 'new John smell', and a Pizza John water bottle. (playful) — 00:01:27 · Pizzamas, Pizza John
  • ★★ Two apparel items not in his box: a Pizza John cardigan and a Pizza John soccer jersey in home and away versions, made with Adidas. — 00:01:56 · Pizza John
  • ★★ Almost all items, including Pizza John hand towels, a floor rug and a screen print of La Pizza Mort signed by John and the artist, are limited edition while supplies last. — 00:02:50 · Pizza John
  • ★ Showing a Pizza John neoclassical bust, John notes that a real Greek or Roman bust would have been painted, so buyers may paint theirs. (playful) — 00:02:50 · Pizza John
  • ★★ As last year (2021), there is a Pizza John pin subscription sending a pin every month for half a year, plus washi tape, all only at pizzamas.com for two weeks. — 00:02:50 · Pizza John

00:03:19 — Sign-off, outtake with Henry and Alice modeling, closing pitch

  • ★★ John loves Pizzamas every year but might love this year's (2022) the most. (hedged) — 00:03:19 · Pizzamas
  • ★ Signing off, John calls 'I will see you tomorrow' his all-time favorite sentence. (playful) — 00:03:19

In the description and comments

  • ★★ The description corrects that John mixed up two designers: the Pizza Johns Starting Lineup is by Josh Taira (Daruma Party) and the Wolf Pizza John by Bern Lehtinen. — video description · Pizza John
  • ★★ The description admits that DFTBA did not send only small shirts: it sent two boxes, one for in-person deliveries, and John opened the wrong one. (playful) — video description · DFTBA Records

Humor (significant)

  • John notices his Pizzamas mustache has returned. — 00:00:00

    “there has been an alteration, and not for the better”

  • John shows a shirt with his face in a pizza box. — 00:01:27

    “I've always wanted to have a square head.”

  • John sniffs the Pizzamas car air freshener scented as 'new John smell'. — 00:01:56

    “It smells as much like pizza or me as you would want your car to smell.”

  • John presents the Pizza John soccer jersey made with Adidas. — 00:02:26

    “And no matter what your last name is, your last name is pizza.”
