Looking at the video again, maybe I've gotten that wrong. I seem to remember him gesturing towards his crotch, but that could be taken as an exaggeration by the woman recording the video. He does look down in the direction of his crotch and say "It's humongous", though.

Even if that's literally what he meant...is it sexual harassment though? What's the harassment?

He's looking down to avoid eye contact. He's saying 'It's Hugh Mongus' in response to 'What is your name?'.
You would need to have some serious penis fixation to automatically assume that anyone who uses the word hugemongous is talking about their dick, or that anyone looking down is looking at their crotch. You're really reaching here to defend this outrageous over reaction.

I can sympathize with the hand-wringing some people here are having over the usual suspects cashing in on this on YouTube (not lumping H3H3 here as much as I bet some people want to), but jesus christ people this lady is a fucking psychopath. Lobbying completely false sexual harassment claims against someone who at worst made a lame dad joke because they didn't feel like giving someone (who was blatantly looking for an argument beforehand) their real name shouldn't be defended.
Sometimes you have MRA man at a McDonalds complaining about feminism robbing him of a chicken sandwhich, sometimes you have feminist lady screaming the name 'Hugh Mungus' is sexual harassment. You just have to accept sometimes people on 'your side' can be total idiots on camera.

You have to be kidding me.
It isn't a defense of the ridiculous reaction. But he is making a big penis joke. It isn't sexual harassment, but that is what he's doing.

Nah, her name is Zarna Joshi and has a stellar reputation of kookiness.

It's like people have never heard a dad joke before. The woman's mental.

He's making a bloody dad joke. You're asserting he's talking about a dick joke. If he had of said his name was Anita Bath would he have been joking about how sexually dirty he is?

He's looking down and walking away...
What?
Please, go back and read my replies.
That is what he's doing. He's also looking in the direction of his crotch and reaffirming "It's humongous".

Exactly. It makes no sense. Humongous is just a word, you're adding sexual connotations to it out of nowhere.
Oh my god, he's looking down because she's got a camera in his face. He's saying 'It's Hugh Mongus' because she's asking him what his name is. You're really trying here and I'm not sure why.

He was making a joke about his body size I'm pretty sure, he was pointing at his belly.
But how was this just linked today? We were talking about it extensively in other threads for like a week. This is really the first HughMongous thread?
Woman mad at man for innocuous dad joke=sexual harassment? I feel like that goes beyond bias and into paranoia territory.
I think there was an alternate angle posted on Reddit today that's brought it back
No, not sexual connotations. Big dick joke connotations. Because it is a big dick joke. But it also isn't sexual harassment.
There's no joke in looking down at the floor, or at your stomach, and saying "It's Hugh Mungus".
I'm not even going to argue the point further.

I really wish his name was Hugh Mungus. Im surprised the guy remained as calm as he did.
That woman is 100% cray and the Facebook reply dump of all the people consoling her victim complex is just as disgusting as her outburst.

Explain how it's a big dick joke. You haven't done that yet, you just keep saying it is one. He's not looking at his bloody crotch. There are no big dick connotations, as much as you desperately want there to be for some unknown reason.
I guess the name could be implying his weight, but full disclosure I thought it was a reference to his dick. Still doesn't make it sexual harassment though in my opinion. Bad taste sure, but beyond that, I doubt it.
Reminded me of the Colbert Report

Also is SJW just becoming a catch all phrase? It was already ridiculous to begin with but now the phrase is just getting out of control.

Straight up man, you're wrong about this. You're seeing something nobody else is, which is apparently this dudes monster cock. When he's looking down and walking away, his eyes are clearly not fixated on his crotch. When he's saying "it's Hugh Mungus" and "Hugh Mungus" by itself, he's replying to the woman's comments.
Even if he initially meant to make a stupid dad joke and his intention was to say "I've got a giant donger", that lady got way too bent out of shape over it and clearly doesn't understand how building security works.
Actually, her inability to understand how private security companies work is the biggest irritant of the whole video to me. She acts like they're cops, then dismisses them because they're not. Then she wants them to run after and detain a man over her word and nothing else. Fucking ridiculous.
Her screaming "sexual harassment" over nothing only damages legitimate sexual harassment events, I hope she pulls her head in.
The slight smile when he says "Hugh...munguous" makes me think either it's innuendo or he's very happy with his choice of witty pseudonym. Without knowing this character further it's impossible to say the intention of using that name. Should've stuck with classic Phil McCraic.
Oh my god, these people are delusional...

No joke in looking down at the floor? He' looks to be obviously uncomfortable at this lady harassing him and shoving a camera in his face. Is that type of physical response in this situation unwarranted?
Yeah, the alternate angle was the reason.

Get it? Because the two names combined make an English word?
No? Because there's the ability for that word to be used as a descriptor for your genitalia?
Oh nooooooooo. I wonder what her reaction would be if he answered "axel ent". AXEL ENT? LIKE YOURE EXCELLENT IN BED OR SOMETHING?

Adding an "it's" might be expected after answering the same question multiple times too, gives it emphasis.
Plus think of it from the dudes POV as the lady is filming him the whole time.
To those whose minds instantly go to "Oh he was making a dick joke." Maybe think to yourself as to why that is. I am on the larger size for people and I've said self depricating jokes along this line, even the joke he used. Now I know I have to say well we all can't say for sure in what way he meant it as only really he does and we can interpret how we see it.

Can't believe she doubled down. Would have thought that after the heat of the moment she would have realised her mistake. And yeah, those commenters seem unreal too.

Does it matter if hes being honest or not? He doesn't owe her his name yet alone the backlash he got for making an obvious joke. Also theres an alternate angle video floating around and he never points to his crotch, In fact he points to himself.
Except he did. He said his name was "Hugh Mungus". That's it. That's the joke.
