A black man identified as "Hannibal" (no relation to Barca) presumably in his 30's stands on stage with a tawny stage curtain in the background. A plant with large sized leafs can be seen partially cut off on the right. Hannibal wears black glasses, a gold watch, and a tan collared button down shirt. Hannibal is filmed from the waste up, pants are unknown (presumed pant less). The "adult swim" water mark is in the bottom right corner. The video starts with Hannibal using his left hand to raise the Hot Pocket into his mouth. Hannibal takes a bite between 0 - 0.5 seconds. Hannibal's reacts with pain as it is implied that the Hot Pocket has hot pockets inside of it, and they have made contact with the inside of his mouth. Hannibal lets out of small "ahh" in a combination to the reaction of pain and to vent heat from the inside of his mouth. Hannibal nearly spits out the bite of Hot Pocket, but in a split second decision reverses his action. Immediately after Hannibal is closing his mouth, choosing to fight through the pain in order to consume the Hot Pocket. A noble cause. The video then ends.

Important Notes:

  1. This was from the "Eric Andre Show", a parody talk show on Adult Swim since 2012.
  2. The humor comes from the shared community experience of eating Hot Pockets soon after microwaving them. If you have not consumed a Hot Pocket before watching this the humor may be lost on you.
  3. Hannibal left the "Eric Andre Show" in 2020. This clip is not from a recent episode. The exact filming date has no correlation to the joke presented.

It's like I'm reading George R.R. Martin clipping and it's been run through a Slow Mo Guys machine or something. Really great breakdown.
