I'm guessing "Washington's Dream 1" was for America to have TV shows with sketches that go on for slightly too long, punctuated by incredibly enthusiastic audience noises (in England sketches are mandated to only last 3 minutes max, and are greeted with quiet stares of appreciation).
Thanks. Turns out that if it wasn't for Washington, Americans would be free to occasionally measure themselves in 'stones', based on the easy-to-remember system of there being 14 pounds in a stone. Or maybe 12. America's loss, either way.

Only kidding: this was a fun video.
