This skit just came out of nowhere to be a legit long-term classic. It’s rare, maybe one every like 5 years? But this one feels like it’ll be remembered for a long time.
The subject of imperial measurement’s impracticalities has been run into the ground, but the delivery in this sketch is so fucking on point it doesn’t matter one bit. It’s so good.

It’s funny and all, but…
England didn’t switch to metric until the the 1960s. Washington and his folks definitely already used the imperial system.
i don’t get why folks are downvoting. Am I wrong? Am I not contributing to the conversation?
Who is playing Washington in this clip?
You asked about the temperature! 😀
I’m pretty sure that they stole the idea from this Neil deGrasse Tyson video that was published a month before the skit

‘Impossible’ had me spitting soda
Mirror for Canadians?
Instant classic

As someone who grew up in Colorado the “5280, it’s a silly number that people remember” like killed me

My 8 year old daughter now responds to questions “Nobody knows…”
How many feet to a mile? 5,280. It’s a simple number we all will remember 😂
