15 Hours in Target!

Indeed, I spent 15 hours in Target yesterday...from open 'till close....and this is my very short documentary film of that experience (3 minutes short.)
I did a lot of stuff...sometimes it was fun, most of the time it was painfully boring.

Can I just say -- I'm mostly glad Nerdfighteria is getting older and more mature and more forgiving of things like 3 weeks' vacation and John posting video versions of Anthropocene Reviewed episodes that are way over 4 minutes. But DAMN do I miss getting this kind of thing because a video was 2 seconds too long.

[@tsitton9]

My question exactly

[@coena9377]

I realize this is a question you had 4 years ago, but just in case you haven't had it answered yet: I would assume he wanted to wait until he was leaving to get the hotdog, so that he wouldn't have a cold hotdog, but then he was there all day.

[@calvinball1]

Can you imagine Hank today taking 15 hours out of his busy schedule to be bored in a Target? lolz. Oh man, memories.

[@sexyscientist]

Hank hasn't even participated in the sleuthing after week zero.

[@SmeiskAudio]

Now I wonder what he'd be like today, in 2022, if he wereb to try this again. I doubt he could do it. I love Hank, but it's just hard to pull something like this off when you're older I think.

[@sandradevries3907]

It is very dangerous to spend more than 11 hours inside a Target. As we can clearly see, you'll then turn into Fred.

[@fairycat23]

Since it's been ten years, there are probably newer and younger nerdfighters coming by this video who don't get that reference. 😂

[@skinnywacky]

[@eliseweusthuis]

I'm really surprised they wouldn't ask you to leave after like an hour or so of not buying anything

[@l.tc.5032]

Elise Rambles eh targets are big enough to blend in with everyone that they may not have noticed him. Also I think he bought that blender.

[@sociallyawkward520]

L. T C. Was that pun intentional?

[@goobiehoobie]

As long as you're respectful it won't matter

[@desertrose0601]

Yeah I wondered the same thing. Especially when he started running around on carts and playing with stuff. I feel like security would've spotted him by then. He likely got permission though, especially because he was filming. But yeah I think just an average person not filming but hanging out there all freaking day long... yeah they'd probably be questioned by security.

I love how the ultimate punishment between brothers is for them to tell them that they love each other.

[@orladdin]

It's been 10 years, and I had forgotten about Fred until you did that impersonation. Thanks for reminding me!

[@jessica23claire]

The Fred impression really makes this video a classic :')

[@ekbrandon93]

To those saying they were surprised he wasn't kicked out: I worked at Target for years and we definitely had people who would spend many hours in the store, some coming in almost every day. Not a lot, but there were some people who I'd see as I was getting to work and were still there when I was clocking out. IDK maybe not all stores are the same but at mine, as long as people weren't super disruptive we didn't really care how long they stayed.

[@alohadolphin66]

I hope he bought something when he left.... Or else the cashiers were probably confused when he walked out..... awkward. Why am I so amused with replaying 1:46 over and over.....

[@Nowayout360]

He had to buy a blender to add something to the rest of his punishment he was supposed to stay in target for 26 hours but the target that he was in closes at night

[@ZipplyZane]

***** Whew. I was hoping it was a punishment. The only people I know who do this willingly are gaggles of teenaged girls who can't drive yet.

[@booschman]

When I hit that part, I was like "Oh yeah, Fred existed..." It's crazy watching references to things you've completely forgotten about. Apparently he's still active but not nearly as popular as he was when this came out.

[@kristateraberry7919]

Hey it's Haaaank!

"There's a lot of people in this Target, and they...they don't think I'm normal." haha *Hank's under hand dryer* *dude walks in* *waves* *continues being under hand dryer* Hank, you're too awesome.

[@evanknowles4780]

"They don't think I'm normal" You're not normal, Hank! I don't mean it as a bad thing at all, because todays "normal" is actually not great! You are not only abnormal, but you are a nerd! You are not only a nerd, but a co-founder of nerdfighteria! The vast majority of people watching this video know that if you were normal, they wouldn't be watching. That includes me, Hank, because I know, you know, and all of nerdfighteria knows that it's your abnormalities that make you amazing.

Beer at Target. Wow, it must be so nice not living under the PA Liquor Control Mafia...

[@ICBPenguin]

***** Especially PA liquor laws

[@sheaelliott942]

Hey fellow Pennsylvanian nerdfighters!!!

[@ICBPenguin]

I'm not actually Pennsylvanian, I just know about PA's weird alcohol laws because they are sort of similar to my home state of NJ's weird alcohol laws

[@sheaelliott942]

I don't really know the alcohol laws because I'm only a teenager, but I have realized that you won't find beer in cases and such in a store. And I've been to NJ quite a few times for vacation and family visits :)

[@ICBPenguin]

Yeah, alcohol and food have to be in separate stores. It's very strange but it does make it very easy to tell who's from out of state when you work at grocery store like I used to XD

[@yuh5294]
