We sure know how to make it complicated 🤣🤣

It's our specialty

It kills me how, every time the black man asks him about slavery, he blows him off.

Freaking hilarious

Haha... that was hilarious. 🤣

🤣🤣🤣 it really is.

Metric system rules. Imperial system is very stupid and useless...

🤣🤣🤣 spoken like a true Argentinian

Metric system is simple and effective. 1, 10, 100, 1.000.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Every time I used to go to Canada, I was wtf is this shit?? You mean I have to use those other numbers on my speedometer??🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣 so damn ridiculous

I know, LMFAO!!!!!

@F5_Smashnado This is hilarious 😂

@F5_Smashnado One of those rare moments where SNL is funny

This is so damn funny! 😂😂😂

It really is. 🤣🤣🤣

Followed you back. Thank you! 😎♥️

America is great, but deep down every American knows that the imperial system is stupid and obsolete. Even the Brits who invented that stupid system are gradually transitioning to the metric system.

only Americans can't figure it out

@SweetTexanRose The reason it’s funny is because of the US system doesn’t make sense and is outdated.

The US, Liberia and Myanmar are the only countries not using the metric system. Is is also 'kilometres' according to the majority of the world.

This is hilarious… SNL when it was still funny

Never mind, ROW laughs about it too

🤣🤣🤣

@Cat5SMASHICANE @Ilegvm good 👍

@Adam00xx Good🤍

@Adam00xx 🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣 i’ve seen this before it’s hilarious

I don't want to trivialise the differences between the US and Aussie/UK/Irish humour by a discussion here. In the US's defence this is marvellous. I especially liked the "people of colour" joke - the behaviour of cultural blindness on display. Comic theatre indeed!

The meme format is gold as well: 😆

Hilarious 😂

What is a kilometer?

@end3of6days9 😂

@end3of6days9 🤣🤣🤣

I'm amazed at those who don't understand the corporate anarchy that would ensue if the metric system did not have the SAE system as competition. Yes metric is measurable but with no standards, just pitch and thread count would make for mayhem & planned obsolescence of everything.

Actually 1000 lb's is a kip

Yeah I can watch this multiple times a day. Captures the arbitrary brilliance of our founding 🍺

I can watch This guy's SNL skit all day... Hope they keep coming with more of this..

It's also funny because the "system of weights and measures" is literally in the Constitution. (Art. I, Section 8, Clause 5)

@TranslateMom English Spanish

This is actually funny!

With Spanish captions:

This is very good

Today? You’re acting like this is a will Ferrell or John Belush skit from decades ago. It is only a few years old

I was in grade school when the metric system was introduced in Australia. We all had it learned by weeks end. Metric is easy, logical and established across the globe. America is amazing, I love the country that adopted me (legally), but this time they dropped the ball.

Let's PLEASE let go of the pitiful metric system.

1000 pounds is a half-ton
