@@debbiestarman4485 I thought it was funny. Sure, some episodes of SNL are not that funny and some sketches are better than others. I do enjoy these Washington sketches with Nate Bargatze though especially since he keeps a straight face the entire time. Not everything has to be slapstick comedy.
Boy did they miss an opportunity ! “Doughnut sir?“ “It’s a pastry they sell by the baker’s dozen.” “Oh, ok…so 12-at-a-time.” “No, 13.” [All the soldiers looking absolutely perplexed.]
I think in the first skit Nate relied heavily on cue cards which kind of made him appear to be gazing off in the distance while yearning for distant freedoms. It also slowed down the cadence of his responses. That elevated the comedy (perhaps by accident. ). They carried that over well in skit 2.
He should have said "We will measure distances in miles, except for air and water travel in which we will measure it in Nautical Miles. How many miles in a nautical mile sir? Nobody knows."
I tell you I cannot stop watching this sketch and his previous George Washington sketch. Nate's delivery is perfect. Each time I watch it is like I am watching for the first time.
Love these sketches. Just curious tho ... How to find out who wrote a particular sketch? Also loved the wartime correspondence skits that Mikey was in a years back. They need to make a comeback
And most Americans don't want to know the truth about where other animal flesh comes from either... They're in denial about the 100 innocent lives they take every year for a moment of pleasure on their taste buds.
I’ve watched the first skit SO many times. I almost jumped out of my couch when I was watching live and saw we were getting a second one. This must be a yearly tradition now. Nate is that good.
@@malibumike2097 yeah ESL teacher here showed this to a group of keen students one said, "what about score?" It took me a second..... gave him a high five.
Yeah I have the same problem trying to explain English to my friend Tino who lives in Spain. I basically tell him that to choose the right words, it depends on what you are talking about. For example. "He is good AT math. He is good WITH numbers." Well why does the preposition change? Nobody knows. 😂
This has officially become my favorite skit!! When I realized he was hosting... this first thing I said was I hope he does that Washington skit again. So Funny!
"SNL will have recurring skits with numbers behind the titles. This one shall be called Washington's Dream 2." "When will the next skit be, sir?" "Nobody knows."
Favorite line for me. I remember trying to explain to friends in Europe that in the US, kindergarten is just the first year of elementary school. For them "kindergartens" are basically what we call pre-K or nursery schools, like a three-year program for toddlers to age 5 that's totally separate from elementary school. I didn't even get into why we don't just call it first grade. 😂
It's insanely hard to match the first one and although this one doesn't get there it's still better than almost any other sketch that comes to recent memory
Dude that delivery was perfect. It's so easy to be loud and yell at that point to add emphasis to the line, but the very quiet delivery made it so funny.
Seemed like a missed opportunity to bring up "score" and tie back to some football-related jokes. "So when you *score* in football you get 20 points, sir?" "What?... no... it doesn't work like that."
Fun fact (well maybe just fun to me): Cow and pig were Anglo Saxon words for the animals. When the Norman invasion of England occurred, the French words "boef" and "porc" were used to refer to the meet of the animals. Those became Anglicized to "beef" and "pork"
Yeah. Poor people kept calling them as they always did, the court and the King only saw the animals already dead and cooked and used their French words
slavery wasn't abolished after the civil war. the 13th amendment codifies slavery into law. It makes private ownership of slaves illegal while establishing a monopoly of slavery on behalf of the state.......in the land of the free. This country has been an ongoing farce since its inception.

true. the only other repeated sketch that I think was as funny as the original is War of Words. Mikey Day’s facial expressions and line delivery’s were spot on😂
Another classic performance from Nate, the best comic working today. Love it. Washington's Dream should be a staple each time he hosts SNL. Next time: GW explains the Founding Fathers' infinite wisdom of the Electoral College.
Instead, we will use the word... a few. Which can mean two or three or four but never five. Then you must use a couple again. Unless it is for married people.
Can’t wait for the next sketch where general Washington outlines why hot dogs should come in packs of 10 but hot dog buns come in packs of 8

Hotdogs now come in 8...

nate's blank stare after delivering every nonsensical line really sells this sketch lmao
There’s something Washington-esque about it. Maybe the historical hypocrisy matches the aloofness.
it's especially funny because he's very emotive in every other sketch
I think in the first skit Nate relied heavily on cue cards which kind of made him appear to be gazing off in the distance while yearning for distant freedoms. It also slowed down the cadence of his responses. That elevated the comedy (perhaps by accident. ). They carried that over well in skit 2.
After all the brutal warfare and bitterly cold winter troop movements, George Washington felt dead inside on that boat that day.
It's not a blank stare... hes gazing upon the entire spacetime universe to find America's future to tell his fellow generals about it.
I could sense that “nobody knows” coming and still nearly peed myself. 😂

Yes, except that there's only 2. That needs to change.

"Everything. All of it. Crazy stuff. Squiggles. Latin words... A pyramid with a floating eye on top." - George Washington, 1776.

Indeed. But renaming animals for food is not unique to Americans. The English were already doing that thanks to the merger of French and Old English.

@@bificommander7472That is . . . Hilarious. Is there any point I asking why?
These George Washington skits are all instant classics!!!
Repeat sketches of a hit premise aren't always funny, but this one is still great.
true. the only other repeated sketch that I think was as funny as the original is War of Words. Mikey Day’s facial expressions and line delivery’s were spot on😂
i liked the totino's pizza rolls ones esp when it escalated to a romance story out of the blue lol
This needs to be a weekly sketch, too funny and endless material. The delivery and participants are perfect.
This is one of the best sketches ever!!!
The writing was really clever in this sketch, and the delivery was impeccable!
This first one was one of my favorite skits and this 2nd one didn't disappoint! So funny!
Another classic performance from Nate, the best comic working today. Love it. Washington's Dream should be a staple each time he hosts SNL. Next time: GW explains the Founding Fathers' infinite wisdom of the Electoral College.
"Well...we will have a word for 2...a couple. But when people use it, they will often mean more than 2."
Instead, we will use the word... a few. Which can mean two or three or four but never five. Then you must use a couple again. Unless it is for married people.
@jkta97 We shall be free to have threesomes and foursomes.
_And fivesomes or fewsomes, Sir?_
No, just - It doesn't work like that.
Oh, it’ll just be a couple minutes.” Ten minutes later…
@@jkta97Scranton people know that.
I'll be there in a couple, chree (3) minutes
Like literally that’s the only time we literally use that word like that
Love that there’s a sequel to General Washington ❤
So many gems but him telling the guy to get out of the boat was the best 😂😢🤩
