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

00:00:00 — Pizzamas lets Hank do a Let's Play; recording glitches; what Trombone Champ is

  • ★★ Hank says he loves Pizzamas because he gets to do things he would never normally do on the channel, like play Trombone Champ. (playful) — 00:00:00 · Pizzamas
  • ★ Hank says it has been a long time since his last Let's Play; he had to delete 12 gigabytes to have disk space to record. (playful) — 00:00:12
  • ★★ Hank describes Trombone Champ as like Guitar Hero but with trombones, and absolutely unhinged. — 00:00:22
  • ★ Hank starts with Auld Lang Syne, which he calls one of John's favorites, and says the game's facts are wrong. (playful) — 00:00:35 · John Green

00:00:44 — Playing Trombone Champ: Auld Lang Syne, a classical piece, and further songs

00:03:45 — Thanks to Pizzamas; Hank will see John in person tomorrow

Humor (dominant)

  • Hank starts his first Let's Play in ages and the recording fails at once. — 00:00:00

    “Not enough disk space to record.”

  • After a classical piece he did not know by name but had heard, Hank sums up his musical education. — 00:01:24

    “Everything I know about classical music, I learned from Trombone Champ.”

  • Hank judges whether his second attempt improved on the first. — 00:02:46

    “And it was! Barely!”

  • Hank picks a harder song to see what he is really made of. — 00:02:46

    “I've vastly overestimated my abilities.”
