Nate Bargatze as George Washington delivered a hysterical “dream” skit on SNL. The popular comedian brought the house down with this hilarious sketch on the long-running show. Watch this short but laugh-out-loud funny clip featuring Nate playing our nation’s first president on Saturday Night Live.

You’ve likely discovered that many things in life do not make sense. This doesn’t just pertain to one area and category; it goes for just about every facet and aspect of life. There is a long and ever-expanding list of inconsistencies, hypocrisies and falsities. However, despite these things that are most certainly incorrect and don’t make a bit of sense, we move along and accept them anyway, without giving it much thought.

Using quick wit and attention to detail, comedians often point out these absurdities and inconsistencies. They use humor to bring attention to things we overlook, causing us to think and laugh about oddities that we all accept for whatever reason. In a clip posted on YouTube, that is precisely what Nate does, and does so in a most hilarious fashion.

In the video, Nate is General George Washington, who gives a talk to the troops the night before they go into battle. He uses his address to remind his soldiers what they are fighting for, and in the process, he points out some things that we do and use every day that make sense.

“Yes, I dream of that one day our proud nation will measure weights in pounds, and that 2,000 pounds shall be called a ton,” Nate says.

When asked about the name for 1,000 pounds, Nate, as the legendary general, answered without hesitation, “Nothing. As we will have no word for that.”

Later in the clip, General Washington is asked if the new nation will use meters and kilometers. The general answers decisively, saying the country will, but only in the most random, strangest situations.

“We will soldier,” Nate says. “But only in certain unpopular sports like track and swimming. For popular sports like football, we will use yards!”

What an absolute gem of a sketch that will have you laughing long after it ends!
