Hank seemed to really enjoy this one :)

3:19 ..... Hank totally gave up XD You can only control yourself to a certain point. I Love it!
Honestly, his reaction was about the same as mine upon learning that you can have a pee button implanted in your scrotum.
Hank might have smiled, but the laughter is coming from at least two people behind the camera!
Our Many Sphincters would be an excellent band name.
Like "Butt Hole Surfers"?
kdc43 Sphincter Surfer.
I propose "Sphincterrifix!"
"50 Shades of Sphincters"?
Late to the party… but there is an actual band called the Mighty Sphincter. Not the same, but still funny.
I..... was not expecting this. I learned something today. Not sure what, but it was something.
Thank you for teaching me that I am at least 10% butthole. Don't know how I survived before this information.
+Simply Amy (SimplyToxic) There's a butthole in your eye.
+SubeZero Thanks, I haven't LOL'd in a while!
I believe they call that is colloquially referred to in the medical and scientific world as the "eyenus".
Lmao. Best way to start my morning.
REGIFISHY its spelled anus
You guys should open up a donation service. I feel like I've learned more things watching your show, than what I learned in high school.

Holy hell! All this time I thought Sphincsters were ancient Egyptian hipsters...
Hank always has such a great way of talking about rather... uncomfortable subjects. I love his sense of humor. :-)
I wonder where Hank got his idea for this episode of SciShow... too much curry? :)
I bet theres a fair few bloopers to this episode lol
I laughed at this whole thing. I am so immature.
0:30 is about where the laughter begins... this is a pretty animated discussion :D
I was like don't let my little cosins see these
Kassie R yes that was funny! I wonder how they would have to change the battery if it needed one.
"ducks and geese don't have anal sphincters"
hands down, the BEST piece of random trivia ever.
Except it's not true...
Hank's discomfort is kind of endearing.
Actually, you say "Sphincter" and I say "TO THE GERMAN - ENGLISH DICTIONARY!", because I've never ever heard that word before.
DiEvAlDiEvAl Does that mean he mentions the word in all of his books, and to meet the word, I would have to at least read one book, or does that mean that he mentions it in some of his books, and that to make sure I lay eyes upon the word, I would have to read all of the books ? :)
DiEvAlDiEvAl a couple of point to that:
- as mentioned, I speak German, so what makes you assume the German version would have the English word in it? I do know the German word for "Sphincter" but in German, the first association I have with the word is the muscle that controls pupil size, so I'm a bit surprised to find that people apparently first associate it with butts and, even weirder, they occasionally don't seem to be aware of the sphincter in the eyes.
That being said, however:
- I did read one* of John's books so far, and I can't say that I'd recall an occurrence of that word.
However, while you could not have known, you randomly guessed right that I'd be one of those people who read stuff in the original language, if they are capable of doing so. And I intend to acquire more of John's books.
* Okay? Okay.

"Not all sphincters control the flow of poop"-Hank 2K16
Actually, 2K13
#NotAllSphincters
thank you for explaining to me the concept of assholes
03:22 You can hear someone laughing when Hank finishes that sentence with the words... "your anus or urethra..." XD
Gosh, Hank is so loveable. I could watch and hear him talk all day.
Good to see another episode. Gosh, I hope SciSchow keeps it going. I love this channel!
Hank is so good at these video. Always keep me interested.
the laugh in the background at 3:20 is hilarious!
love the constant video uploads :)
Glad you're back, Hank!
this is prolly the video i knew the least about so far ~ive only been watching about 18 months~ its so awesome to learn stuff like this. it gives me a new respect for the sphincter!
"and Baby Koalas everywhere safe from Brain damage"
Props for keeping a straight face through most of that and props to who ever we all heard in the background for breaking such intense focus lol
Informative AND funny! Good job on this one.
This is the best channel on youtube, bar none!
Best On-Show-Outtake EVER! Keep going Hank....
It's weird because I was just thinking about how little I know about sphincters.
+Rob Fraser yep thats weird
I hide koalas in my sphincter
watching this video while eating really tested my sphincter....
Can I sue you for some new guts?
***** I can't stomach your joke.
Skippa1986 Don't you know the phrase "gut-busting laughter"? I'm saying if you induce that gut-busting laughter, I should be able to sue you for a replacement.
***** i think he was adding a joke on top of your ill attempt at adding a joke to the original joke.
This is the best episode of SciShow.
This hole clip had me in tears!
I just find it amazing that a talk about sphincters would draw 200,000+ viewers. Very well done.
Thanks, Hank, for teaching us more than we ever wanted to know about sphincters.
Thank you for teaching me to truly appreciate my sphincters Hank, I'll never take them for granted again
Thank you for teaching me,
I appreciate it!
I really feel like there should've been a Sphincter counter on here.
As much as this was some good learning, Sphincter Counter could never be a bad thing.
3:20 thank you for keeping this in the video.
I'd love to see the outtakes of this episode.
Totally made me laugh after a very rough morning. thanks Scishow!
Do a video on tides and why they're higher in some places than in others!
My dad had a lot of acid reflux in his life. So much so that the doctors were afraid a cancer may develop in his esophagus. So they removed almost the entire thing, used a stapler to turn his stomach into a tube and used that to transport food from his mouth to his guts instead.
It's a very heavy and invasive procedure and it gives a shitload of rather unpleasant complications, but that was 15 years ago and my dad is still very much alive and kicking. He just came back from a 5-month round trip through Russia and central Asia, together with my mother in their mobile home.
Did he have a hiatal hernia?
cellogirl11RW
Well no not at first, but that is what the doctors created. His esophagus was at risk, so they removed it (or at least a large part) and stretched his stomach, through his disphragm, all the way to his throat, effectively turning it into a tube. The short term for the procedure in my language is "buis-maag" which means tube-stomach.
But no he did not have a hiatal hernia to begin with, he just had a lot of stomach acid reflux through out his life which damaged his esophagus.
+Peter Timowreef Ah, okay. There's now a surgery where they pull the stomach all the way down below the diaphragm, tighten up the hole in it, and then basically wrap the loose part of the stomach around the esophageal sphincter to tighten and keep it below the diaphragm so you stop getting heartburn.
Thank you for the video, it really helped me learn about sphincters!
I saw the title in my sub box and I kind of couldn't not click
Surprised Hank didn't give thanks to the pupillary sphincter... it does keep us from going blind after all.
You're awesome. Keep up the great work. More people should subscribe!
Interesting information. Love it :)
someone please explain deer and rabbit poop. as much as i try to pulsate my sphincter i can't get my poop to come out by the hundreds in tiny round balls.
has anyone achieved such results with electrodes?
Are you sure the shape of it is determined only by the sphincter? Or might it be tiny and round because of what they eat?
lmaooo! thanks for making me crack up man. and ya i agree i wanna kno too!
Wombats have cube poop. Try making that.
Wombat poop is cubed? now thats amazing. still no luck on my experiment...
This is my new favorite Scishow video!
Yay, sphincters!
beautifully articulated Hank :)
OH GOD! THEY'RE COMING OUT OF THE WALL SPHINCTERS!
Probably the best episode of Sci Show News I've ever seen.
This isn't SciShow news,this is just a normal SciShow video.
Funniest SciShow episode I've seen yet!
You should have your own television show on natgeo/discovery or something along those lines! Really love watching every video!
I just recently saw the no-pumping-artificial-heart, i would like to see an episode covering artificial organs and latest medical breakthroughs. Keep up the good work SciShow !
I really want to see the outtakes of this video! :)
You had a lot of fun with this episode I can tell.
Such a fascinating channel.
you're so cute when talking about sphincters.
Hank is always cute. He's basically the energizer bunny of cute male nerddom.
great topics recently
Hank, you're awesome!
This was a great vid! And bless your heart you made to just after 3 mins before you snickered. The older you get the more you can't trust a fart,it sucks. I must have a flappy o-ring back there :(
THIER COMING OUT OF THE WALL SPHINCTERS! PROTECT ME SQUIRE!
Wonderful topic choice. A Very bold choice too. Kudos
22 years old and I giggled like a child at seeing this title in the sub feed
I was just checking the channel, on my way to some NerdCubed, then I saw this.
How could I NOT watch something titled this?
This man is the perfect candidate for this discussion
again another interesting video :)
Fascinating!
Okay, the pop-up ad for this video reads: "Leaky Pipe? Permanent Fix!" I'm assuming they mean house plumbing, not human plumbing.
I can't believe I just watched a full 4 minute video of sphincters..what am I doing with my life? Nice work!
I do actually have a small "electronic nerve stimulator" in my lower back connected to my urethra that shocks it from time to time to make it work right, that part you giggled at is very true
I had no idea what a Sphincter before this video. Thank you for enlightening my day,
Well this was an interesting way to start the day.
the capillary thing could've been focused a little more on since there's like thousands of the things in our bodies o.O
"Honey, what are you doing?"
"I'm doing special sphincter excersies!"
I would love to see this conversation lol......
Hahah thank you for sharing! I love learning xD
Enlightening!
I have a weird faulty memory, I could've sworn that the first time I watched this Hank said the first sentence of the description at the beginning of the video & was its title... Guess I just pictured him saying it & it was so iconic that it just eclipsed the rest as time went on.
This was a pretty funny episode. Just the mental images will stay with me ^^
That was very entertaining yet informative 🤣
Best episode ever
I never found so much interest in sphincters until today!
Thank you Sphincters!
ahahahah favourite episode yet, Hank.
I just watched SourceFed and saw your comment and now here xD
maloney670
Oh, he's everywhere. Don't mind him.
hank is so excited about sphincters, it's adorable
i farted when he said "unsung heroes of your anatomy" :) im still giggling at the end of the video :D
Stumbled onto scishow. This shit is awesome.
I had this auto-playing at work when people came up to see something on my computer. Second screen has 'Sphincters - The Fascinating Truth' right there for everyone. Good times.
"Sad Sphincters"!? Best band name EVER! :)
Idk "the poopie runners" is a pretty good one
Today I woke up this morning and said to myself "I really want to watch a video about sphincters!" Thank you scishow!
this video was really informative but i laughed the entire time
I wonder if you could do an episode on the art of flight... like, how propellers pull the air or push it to make an object move in a desired direction.
This video was really sphascinating.
You, Hank, are ABSOLUTELY Hilarious!! Love your very subtle sense of humor. You would've been great on "Friends" or "Big Bang Theory"!
Thank you so much for managing to not once smirk at the word "sphincter" even though I'm sure the rest of the studio was dying laughing.
Its amazing how at the end of every one of these the closing sentence always sounds the same
