The Presidents' Song | All the Inaccuracies

Published 2018-09-07
Inaccuracies I missed (so much for getting it right the first time):
- Andrew Johnson's presidency did not end with his impeachment - the Senate acquitted him. - thanks JJF Rants!
- "Ronald Reagan's speech's scripts all came from famous movie clips" is in fact not an inaccuracy - Reagan was known for slipping movie quotes into his speeches. - also thanks JJF Rants!
- Since this song airing, one more person has been President: Joe Biden, as of January 2021.

And a couple more, courtesy of Max Hess:
- When they mention that Hayes won by one vote, they show a tally which read Democrats: 7; Republicans: 8, as if there were only 15 ballots cast. The actual tally was 185 to 184.

- "The ones in power are plain to see, The Clintons, Bill and Hillary" - The First Lady doesn't have any actual power beyond her ceremonial role.

    Eventually this comment, along with this sad lonely dinosaur, will be lost in the thousands of comments on this video
  • Video: Monroe’s nose was bigger than Pinocchio’s no comment

    "The Press will distort everything you say" The most accurate part of the song right here
  • @adamhenrywalker
    The “S” in Ulysses S. Grant actually DID stand for Simpson. When he was admitted to West Point they accidentally recorded his name as Ulysses Simpson Grant(Simpson being his mother’s maiden name). He went with it instead of his real name(Hiram Ulysses Grant) because he was worried his classmates would tease him for his initials(HUG).

    William Henry Harrison died in thirty TWO days not thirty

    5:48 "Hitler's Germany was not the only enemy in World War Two." And FDR didn't have a flying wheelchair.
  • @breadslice9779
    can’t believe you didn’t mention how the photo they use of Zachary Taylor is actually a photo of Winfield Scott
  • @Heroshii15
    I remember my dad talking about the “Gerald Ford falls down” thing: It happened only once, but all the comedy writers latched onto it because Ford wasn’t very mockable otherwise.

    Is-is a Brit telling me bout my American Presidents
  • @Dracomut
    You forgot an inaccuracy, when they show off Bill and Hillary Clinton they actually looked happy together
  • I love how you didn't contest Monroe's nose being bigger than Pinnochio's. Dude had that scnhozz.
  • @thothrax5621
    I like that he gets really nitpicky for some of them but not all, implying that things like Monroe's nose being "bigger than Pinocchio's" is verifiably true
  • @tc_48
    "This most likely didn't happen." Yeah it's a carto- "His wife was probably ill from miscarriage." Oh.
  • This is like when you tell your mom a joke and she turns it into a lecture
  • @tntrose7285
    Bonus inaccuracy: when the song says “up to bat comes Old Abe Lincoln”, it’s important to note Abraham Lincoln hated being called Abe.
  • @jarnvag1564
    “Next president to lead the way just might be yourself one day” laughs in being born outside of America
  • @JaleneMcCoy
    He didn't deny his nose was bigger than pinnochio or that he was really fat
  • Fun fact: Taft hated being the President due to how stressful it was. He ended gaining so much weight from stress eating that he got up to 350 pounds.
  • @masterpig753
    Kind of funny that there is already an inaccuracy before Yakko even names one president
