Nate Bargatze’s George Washington is back.

Continued last season SNLThe comedian’s portrayal of the Revolutionary War general reveals a deep distaste for the simple metric system, while also painting a picture of what kind of country he wants to create. A year later, he defends all the quirks of the English language and its strange naming habits.

“We will survive the battle ahead because we are fighting to control our own destiny, to create our own nation and to do our own thing with the English language,” he said, rallying his troops beside him in an open ship.

“I dream that one day our great nation will have a word for the number ‘twelve.’ We’ll call it ‘a dozen,'” he said, prompting one of his men to ask what other songs will have their own names.

“None,” he replied flatly.

“We will also have two names for animals: one if they are alive, and another if they become food. So cows will be beef and pigs will be pork,” he explained.

“And chickens, sir?” asked a soldier.

“It stays,” he replied. And other foods, he added, will be called “whatever we want,” like the hamburger.

“Of ham, sir?”

“If only it were that simple. A hamburger is made of beef, just as a buffalo wing is made of chicken, he clarified. “But don’t fear, guys: hot dogs won’t be made of dogs.”

Washington then instructs a soldier, who is adamant that the ingredients for a hot dog are known, to throw himself overboard, which he does.

Finally, Washington addresses education, explaining that the first year of school will be known as kindergarten. And as for the second year? “First grade.”

Bargatze also focused on education in his stand-up monologue.

“I went to community college, and it’s a big deal. A lot of people probably don’t know this, but community college says, “You’ll probably stay in your community,” he joked.

“I took speech as a class in college,” the Tennessee comedian continued. “I drove there with my friends. They had real classes and they started to like business or math or something like that. I don’t even know what a real class is called. I said, ‘I’m going to make a speech. I guess I’m a different part of campus. We stay in the same room and our teachers change. What about you guys?’”
