+Hemanth Swarna *It* really doesn't because it's not logical. The only way it makes sense to you is because you've learned the set measurements. Generally speaking a foot is not a set measurement since feet come in different sizes. It'd be the same as having measurements in trees and define a tree as 10 meters tall even though trees comes in many different sizes. It's completely arbitrary just like the imperial system.
Hemanth Swarna what sense of relativity are you talking about? feet? i'm supposed to look at someone and imagining in my head how many steps i would take on them to cover them face to toe? and even then, its not about my foot's length but a dead king's one, so i would still be off. No, i dont get it, it still makes zero sense.
are you suggesting that saying I'm 5 of the late king of England's feet stacked heel to toe and 24 barley seeds tall is not a precisely accurate and more relateable system of measurement? Next you'll say that measuring land by roughly how far an ox can drag a plough before getting tired is not an accurate form of measurement.
Did you know water freezes and boils at different pressure levels? Even the supposedly more precise metric system makes a simple common sense call in the way temperature is measured. if you wanted to be precise you would have to say 100 degrees celsius is the boiling point for water _at sea level_

@Rosida Andriyana I don´t really know why, and I guess hate is a strong word. But he was very displeased with Rickys first Golden globes shows, thought it was hacky to come there and just diss people. It´s from his podcast 7-8 years ago tho so who knows, things may have changed.
FaithFul Rose America literally lost an orbiter because of the miscalculation by NASA purely because of the metric system. And why it bothers me is perfectly explained by the guest in the show
Chris Eli hi Chris, i am in my homeland and i have no plans to come to America. So, you dont have to waste your energy driving me back to my homeland :) Have a good weekend
Aamir Tanoli I said the date format not the metric system itself need to learn how to read before you come for me like that and I agree with the metric system with science and math
FaithFul Rose oh my bad, but last part of my reply was specific about why date format bothers me. As jim explains it, it just makes sense to have day, month, year.
Very late answer. There is nothing to understand, with such vast cultural differences it´s practically impossible to agree on almost anything collectively. Americans aren´t on a railroad track, they are on a bumpy highway with thousands of signs wanting each individual to go in a different direction. The big issue you are facing now is the adversarial mentality which mr. Trump unfortunately seems to be fueling, on top of that your very opinionated news media isn´t helping.
Comedians always tell talk show hosts what to ask them to be able to launch into their bit. So Jimmy asked him "how long have you been in America now?" to launch him into the coin bit, and then "what did you do before you were a comedian?" to launch him into the McDonald's bit. I'd bet 100 bucks all these stories are in his next stand-up special.
Jim Jefferies is pure gold! from the lack of laughs from the audience though it sounds like the title should read "americans don't understand jim jefferies"
I think it's because most of them know his show is highly edited to make him look good and his guests look like crap and it's kind of uncomfortable to cheer for a lying piece of human garbage... no matter how funny he happens to be.
Jim, I'm with you 100% on the metric system. One of the greatest disappointments of my life is having to give up on trying to convince Americans that our system is STUPID! They just can't understand
It's just an old system. All cultures used to have similar measurements, like fingers, elbows, steps, days of horse-back riding, etc. And every country that uses the metric system has actually switched to it at some point.
It was in Persia, thousands of years ago. Try doing some research, you uneducated prick. And then try working out why it still works better than the metric system, even today. But that would require you having to think, so I won't hold my breath.

Comedians that rant are the best! Jim and Bill Burr are great examples of just how great it can be! You just go along for the ride! There are many others that would simply go off, not necessarily on a rant, but just non-stop machine gun jokes, and for that, there was no one better than Robin Williams. RIP.
The US is literally one of only two countries in the world that hasn't adopted the metric system. For a country with lagging math abilities it is quite puzzling why we still insist on a system where 'there are 12 inches in a foot, there are 3 feet in a yard, there are 1760 yards in a mile' instead of the simpler 'there are 1000 millimeters in a meter, there are 1000 meters in a kilometer.'
America adopted the metric system MANY YEARS AGO...Officially. However, companies and folks refused to re-tool and the us is still struggling under IMPERIAL measurements.
Take it from my American self; I’ve taught myself (and solely use) the metric system for the past 4 years, and have been doing day/month/year for about 3 years now. I’m 19, and because I’m only 2 years out of K12, I tell you; we don’t do a thing with metric. Even in Chemistry class we were doing oz’s in the beakers for some reason.

I like the way he's comfortable enough in his Australianness to pronounce Fillet O' Fish the Australian/Commonwealth way and not translate himself for Americans. I found myself translating when I lived in the US. Now that I am back home in Australia it has taken me years to lose "cell phone" and I still haven't ditched "soda". Other words I use differently depending on whether I'm talking to Australians or my American wife -- "trash/rubbish" is an example here.
I live in the States, and I feel the same, I have to talk like Americans, moving from Belgium in 1994 up til now, until I move back. I prefer saying mobile phone.
The way Jefferies can take such an ordinary (and sometimes contentious) issue and make it so funny is remarkable. Think how few comedians (think Robin Williams, Jonathan Winters) can improvise like Jefferies. He’s a genius!
Tom S hahaha, you might want to do some research before you open you mouth dipshit, the majority of our economy is based on our export market, and the quality of our export products are considered second to none by the rest of the world.

we waste money making pennies. they are absolutely worthless. and nickles because it makes counting easier. every number will end with a 0 or 5. if you want to make it even better, remove quarters. dimes and bills would be the only currency. every number would end with a 0. but pennies for sure should go.
you would never have to pay .62 because pennies wouldn't exist. every number would end in a 0 or 5. right now you have to pay the .62 because pennies exist. or .61, .63, .64, and so on. if there were no pennies then it would be 4.55, 4.60, 4.65, etc. if you remove quarters then everything would be to the nearest dime.
Icecube88 that's one of the most retarded things I've ever heard, you would have to completely redo the taxing system as well as everything on the market. That would take years and the people who have pennies will be upset they they are losing money
I hadn't thought about it, but Kimmel really is the master of sarcasm in late night now that Letterman and Ferguson have moved on. Fallon is so earnest that it's an awkward fit, and while Colbert employs it, he also isn't as detached as Kimmel.

13 months, each 28 days. Never changes. Holidays always fall on the same day, year after year. No confusion. One extra special day at the end of the last month to make 365 days in a year, two extra for a leap year. But no...we're still stuck on the ancient Julian calendar.
Ah yes, the famously rational English. Invaded every country under the sun to expand their Britishness all over the world and who have soccer riots where hundreds of people die.
Keep it! is a cultural thing, if someone doesn't know, they can (and have to) learn. So we don't have to be that lazy, there's no problem at all with using both systems; if it was for that, there only would be one language, wich would be such an awful thing.
And what you call "military time"? We never write am/pm, 18:00 is six in the afternoon. Obviously... Do average americans not get that at all? I remember one guy not understanding what I meant and I was surprised he admitted it since its not hard to figure out even if youre not used to it.
At McDonald's my "crew" was all lazy. I was taking orders, Watching over fries, packing orders, and taking orders. All that for $9. It was so much BS and soo many people mad at you even though you're not the one at fault. So I quit. Without telling after they screwedup my schedule for the 5th time.
Year, month, day, hour, minute, second is commonly used by a lot of nato forces though. I just assumed that was from the US. I’ve been in service so long it’s the only way I can write it now.

He is spot on with regards to the stupidity of the American system of measurements. Metric system is the best and the most logical.
Not when it comes to height. There is a sense of relativity there that makes much more sense in the imperial system.

I'm so with Jim about the way Americas do the date. It should be the day, the month, and then the year. It really is that simple.
Real simple,!
Comedians that rant are the best! Jim and Bill Burr are great examples of just how great it can be!
You just go along for the ride!
There are many others that would simply go off, not necessarily on a rant, but just non-stop machine gun jokes, and for that, there was no one better than Robin Williams. RIP.
he's from my local town in melbourne called st kilda. we love him here!
yakikadafi no he’s not he’s from Sydney.
Jimmy Kimmel makes me glad that the UK has Graham Norton and Johnathan Ross.
Our Graham Norton is a .National Treasure
Im American and I don’t even understand us.
Alissa Leigh
It stands for “United States”
what?
@@ATidw1 Wooooooosh
I understand you're the best and have the greatest country on Earth, because all of you say it so much.
And you have the biggest debt in the world also
The US is literally one of only two countries in the world that hasn't adopted the metric system.
For a country with lagging math abilities it is quite puzzling why we still insist on a system where 'there are 12 inches in a foot, there are 3 feet in a yard, there are 1760 yards in a mile' instead of the simpler 'there are 1000 millimeters in a meter, there are 1000 meters in a kilometer.'
America adopted the metric system MANY YEARS AGO...Officially.
However, companies and folks refused to re-tool and the us is still struggling under IMPERIAL measurements.
100% - putting the month first is just absolute insanity
Quadrupled the work without quadrupling the pay. How American.
He was working in Australia at the time tho...
Take it from my American self; I’ve taught myself (and solely use) the metric system for the past 4 years, and have been doing day/month/year for about 3 years now. I’m 19, and because I’m only 2 years out of K12, I tell you; we don’t do a thing with metric. Even in Chemistry class we were doing oz’s in the beakers for some reason.
He reminds me of one of my Dad's mates.My mother couldn't stand him because he had no filter and took way too many liberties but my father always kept him around.My father insisted he was the only friend he could trust to keep him grounded.
Jim: If the gays came out with a better chicken sandwich...
Popeyes: Hold my beer
Choosing your ideological position based on how good the food is?
I'd say he understands average Americans pretty darn well.

If that was the case America would be mostly catholic or Muslim. And they aren’t.
It's called making a joke.
I see you everywhere...
Enjoy your work
Thank you! Metric system - day month year - small medium large. Everything that makes sense in the world! Not in America. ahahahah
But it doesnt ?!?!? if somebody asks you the time you got SS/MM/HH ???? No ... so dont be so cocky .... first switch to YYYY/MM/DD , than brag abought making sense!
@@haverjamarosi680 But we do, in fact. Especially if using an analogue watch/clock rather than a digital one. We say, for example, "it's almost (seconds) twenty (minutes) to four (hour)". We don't say "it's three thirty nine and sixteen seconds"
@@heftyelf
How you write it ?!?!?!
and how you say it if its, for example a runtime of any sort?
So lame coput .... its like sayin you dont say meter first and cm last cos you can say ' i am 3 cm short of being 2 meters .... but it still doesnt change the fact everybody say one-ninetiseven
And if i tell some1 we meet at five-forty everybody will be there at 5:40 (H:mm)
@@haverjamarosi680 On run times, we agree.
On height, one-ninety-seven is short for one hundred and ninety seven centimetres, not one metre and ninety seven centimetres.
If you tell someone to meet at five forty, that's digital format. In analogue format you would meet them at twenty to six
Not in the United States! (of America) The rest of America uses the metric system.
I like the way he's comfortable enough in his Australianness to pronounce Fillet O' Fish the Australian/Commonwealth way and not translate himself for Americans.
I found myself translating when I lived in the US. Now that I am back home in Australia it has taken me years to lose "cell phone" and I still haven't ditched "soda". Other words I use differently depending on whether I'm talking to Australians or my American wife -- "trash/rubbish" is an example here.
I live in the States, and I feel the same, I have to talk like Americans, moving from Belgium in 1994 up til now, until I move back. I prefer saying mobile phone.
I'm Australian and I worked in the USA in 2004. I still say "parking lot" sometimes and I still have a soft spot for iced tea and bagels.
But he said 'gas station' instead of 'servo' or 'petrol station', and 'fries' instead of chips. He's a yank!
the saaaame
Wait whats the yank way? Fish Fillet?
The way Jefferies can take such an ordinary (and sometimes contentious) issue and make it so funny is remarkable. Think how few comedians (think Robin Williams, Jonathan Winters) can improvise like Jefferies. He’s a genius!
This dude is fkn hilarious
He is literally one of the funniest comedians out there.
His interviews aren't that funny imo, his stand up is far better.
NetMage11 found the gun nut!
Is he?
Mildly amusing and I mean very very mild.
I can hear Jim talk relentlessly about anything for hours.
Varad Ghodake same here
you really need to get down my local: it's Jim-style talk for days in there :-)
Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey would love to be there someday
Jim Jefferie's accent is more australian then the australian's in australia
Nah we all talk like it haha
We all talk like that
We all sound the same
& then after that the Australians in New Zealand.
@@sharonlo1958 don't realize we have a accent till you spend a couple of weeks in America. The we stand out a mile.
Australians are awesome
Yes, always.
Yes we are
Tom S hahaha, you might want to do some research before you open you mouth dipshit, the majority of our economy is based on our export market, and the quality of our export products are considered second to none by the rest of the world. Shame we can’t export some intelligence to help you out you sub-par mongoloid😂
And sand.
Their beers are top notch, well except for fosters. But the rest are awesome Among the best out there.
I don't know what it is but whenever any Australian goes overseas, we have to act as Australian as possible. And its the best. 😂
If Seth MacFarlane was stung by a bunch of bees.
@Charles James
👌🏽yes
hahahahahahahahahaha u win today sir
I haven’t even watched the video yet, I see Jim Jeffries and I like it 😄 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 ❤️❤️❤️
I love how he always sounds drunk lol
Yeah I also thought that, he always sounded drunk :)
He is always drunk a bit
We all sound that way lol
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's just an Australian thing, both sounding and being.
And yet he's still pretty smart, somehow? No idea how that works...
the u.s. needs to get rid of pennies and nickles.
Icecube88
Why?
we waste money making pennies. they are absolutely worthless. and nickles because it makes counting easier. every number will end with a 0 or 5. if you want to make it even better, remove quarters. dimes and bills would be the only currency. every number would end with a 0. but pennies for sure should go.
Ok, how about if I have no credit card and I have to pay $4.62
you would never have to pay .62 because pennies wouldn't exist. every number would end in a 0 or 5. right now you have to pay the .62 because pennies exist. or .61, .63, .64, and so on. if there were no pennies then it would be 4.55, 4.60, 4.65, etc. if you remove quarters then everything would be to the nearest dime.
Icecube88 that's one of the most retarded things I've ever heard, you would have to completely redo the taxing system as well as everything on the market. That would take years and the people who have pennies will be upset they they are losing money
both individuals represent the sarcastic comedy of their respective nations really well
Jim isn't an Australian comic.
I hadn't thought about it, but Kimmel really is the master of sarcasm in late night now that Letterman and Ferguson have moved on. Fallon is so earnest that it's an awkward fit, and while Colbert employs it, he also isn't as detached as Kimmel.
thekrevolution Jimmy is representative of crappy PC crap humor
nobody likes kimmel fyi or jim in usa and kimmel is not funny nor does he represent it comedy of any kind he just got a show cause he is a yes man ill do whatever it takes
Jimmy kimmel is so boring
This guy is right 💯
13 months, each 28 days. Never changes. Holidays always fall on the same day, year after year. No confusion. One extra special day at the end of the last month to make 365 days in a year, two extra for a leap year. But no...we're still stuck on the ancient Julian calendar.
I love how he sounds just slightly drunk ❤️
He probably is 😂
Love to see Jim and Avi talk again.
Us Canadians don't even understand them... It's all good..
Lets talk aboot that
We have Nickle and dimes.. Not that we pay attention to that.
Ya eh
Kermit of Rivia LMAO that's the thing with accepting Muslims they try and islamisize everything!!!! Soft countries let them in then play games
Us americans cant even understand us
3:00 exactly. Australians think like us English. rationaly, and normaly.
EXACTLY NOT!
how is it rational? Its totaly bacwards! it should be YYYY/MM/DD like any rational and normal peole use it!
Yeah, the English are soooooo rational.
@@haverjamarosi680 so you go 2020/February(2)/25...?
@@neko_3851 Exactly. (so now its 2020.02.25 19:44) from the biggest to the smallest
Ah yes, the famously rational English. Invaded every country under the sun to expand their Britishness all over the world and who have soccer riots where hundreds of people die.
Yo, was this dude eating hot cheetos before his appearance? His lips are a BRIGHT red.
thomaskazuya I was guessing maybe a popsicle
All jokes aside with jim it's very possible he had a bad gurn from some cocaine so might have bit them 😂 (probably not but had to be said lol)
Why is this the top comment now I cant think of anything else...X)
probably drinking alcohol
Good Eye bud. Jimmy probably playing games in the dressing room again
I love his humor, but i appreciate mostly he seems like a truly decent, humble guy.
He definitely is all those outside of the lime light. How do I know? I’m a friend of his ☮️

It doesn't say 10 anywhere on the dime. It says "one dime"
Keep it! is a cultural thing, if someone doesn't know, they can (and have to) learn. So we don't have to be that lazy, there's no problem at all with using both systems; if it was for that, there only would be one language, wich would be such an awful thing.
Dime=1/10th of one whole
I was drinking a sip of my water when you said "nuggets", I am now cleaning the water off my monitor and keyboard...
Totally DD/MM/YYYY Here in Canada it’s all over the place: DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY AND YYYY/MM/DD
Pete G tell me about it it's the worst! So frustrating when doing tax returns
I know! I never have any damn idea what people are doing when it comes to dates because in Canada everyone does something different.
lol I feel you.
Pete G unnj
Canada doesn't know whether they're American or European... I personally think that the month is a lot more relevant than the day for info on forms
I was in the military (US). I write the day, month and year. Ex. 14Jul2018
On 2Wheels I might be wrong but don’t you use the metric system as well, in the military?
Ben Abate yes.
On 2Wheels well thanks for your service anyway mate, cheers from Aus
Yes.
And what you call "military time"? We never write am/pm, 18:00 is six in the afternoon. Obviously... Do average americans not get that at all? I remember one guy not understanding what I meant and I was surprised he admitted it since its not hard to figure out even if youre not used to it.
someone had coke in the bathroom..
And Cheetos
Vlad Vale haha
+Flumpf Telly "I can't feel my face" - The Weeknd
Its was great too. Its starting to drip down my throat and my teeth are numb.
Flumpf Telly I was wondering what was wrong! Used to be funny, now too much coke.
It’s been so long I can’t ask anyone now. So I’ll go on Jimmy Kimmel and announce it lol Jimmy
At McDonald's my "crew" was all lazy. I was taking orders, Watching over fries, packing orders, and taking orders. All that for $9. It was so much BS and soo many people mad at you even though you're not the one at fault. So I quit. Without telling after they screwedup my schedule for the 5th time.
Jimmy did not miss the opportunity to remind jim he had to sign the immigration form.
Take it easy jimmy, those are just jokes
precisely how I feel as a European started to live in US. Sometimes , my brain boils. why USA why ?
Love love love Jim!!❤️🇨🇦...he’s wicked live :) ❤️ love u too jimmy;)
Day/Month/Year seems fine to me. Then again, I'm used to it via the US Navy.
but year/month/day would make more sense! (like hour/minute/second)
Year, month, day, hour, minute, second is commonly used by a lot of nato forces though. I just assumed that was from the US. I’ve been in service so long it’s the only way I can write it now.
I'm an Aussie and i totally agree with jim lol
Jimmy Kimmel has cupcakes in the dressing rooms. Graham Norton has alcohol.
Good on you Jimbo.
Love Jimmy, however Jim (as always) knocked it out of the park. Must be dfficult if your guest is funnier than you.
PhilipsVLOGS Jim Jeffries is funny? Since when?
clearly someone doesn't know what funny is...makes sense they choose a shitty name like Madame Chaos....I imagine you take stuff too seriously quite often.
Jim Jefferies is like a drunk with turrets 24/7. Dude is not funny.
Uhh, no.
Dunno about funnier. Harder to shut up? Yeah, maybe...
I love Australians and the way they speak 😂🇦🇺💕
Thank you
Im single and available :P
retroxlove we love you too x
G'day darl' 😉
I spent 3 months over there in 92, my Aussie accent which isn't as broad as Jim's opened many doors !
I watched his new Netflix special last night and I was absolutely crying with laughter. The chicken nugget shitting puking skit should come with a health warning it made me laugh that much,
Whatever his politics, etc, I always enjoy Jim Jefferies humor. The accent and the delivery, just very funny.
I love this guy
I just saw his special on Netflix and he is genuinely funny. I hadn’t heard of him before.
Jimmy and Jim. Best, combo, ever !
Haris nah Conan and bill burr
+Wilmar Albuquerque dude I was literally about to comment that, cheers.
Haris your 100% right except for the Jimmy part.
Jim Jefferies a dad!? Now there's a lad I'm happy to see parenting!
I LAUGHED SO MUCH WHEN HE SAID:
“when someone asks you the date you don’t go ‘JULY’ “!!!!
It’s so true! The simplest things in a day-to-day life are so weird in America! When he said the freezing and boiling temperature too! I also have 7 years living in America so I completely get it! Or like when people in America say football 🏈 (everyone else calls it American football) and they call soccer ⚽️ what the rest of the world calls Football!! Lol 😂
He ain't wrong about Chick-Fil-A. That's some good ass bigoted food.
Jeez Jimmy is such a humorless interviewer
The "Hey Fella" joke was funny!
Cause it's relatable... I'm very bad with names
I love the title, it discribes almost every one of his bits...
He calls it fillet of fish! Yes! Meat comes in filets, fish comes in fillets. Lol
Love this guy ever since legit!!
The first time I saw one of jimmy's subscribe bits I decided to resist. I am now subscribed because no one should have to go hungry.
Jimmy told him there is a 5 and a 10 on the nickle and dime.. Well there is not that's how long since he touched change lol
No, they just say on the back of them five cents, which is just as good. The nickel in my hand has it clearly displayed...
@@SmokeyTheBandit Yeah but for an Australian where our coins are literally just called 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, $2. Dime and nickel doesn't on the face of it tell you how much they are. It doesn't matter if it says it on the coin, it's about understanding it at the very beginning.
Get into weed culture dude, it'll make sense real quick.
