It's Time to End Roman Numerals

Jimmy believes it is time for the NFL to do away with the use of Roman numerals. You see Super Bowl LII and have to Google to look it up. But since Jimmy is a man of science, we went out on the street with the Roman numerals for 52 to find out if we're the only ones who have trouble with them.

It's Time to End Roman Numerals

I feel bad for the girl at the end. If you're not as stupid as everyone else, you get punished.

[NewMessage]

Confetti on a goth is just magic! I wish I could make her face there my wallpaper.

[destinymarcum]

Its because the ones are sans serif. If they were serif I think more people would have got it.

[JB-ehue]

"wouldn't have a clue, im from Australia" he just brings shame to us aussies but...what a legend!!!

[marctang]

OMG YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD THEM WHAT ROMAN NUMERAL IT IS
NOT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

[donnap]

They should have asked "what number does this represent?". The people were a) surprised and b) given no chance to put the question into context. And the sign should have read 'Superbowl LII'.

[TheEloka]

Tbh id be pissed if I got bukkaked with confetti

[MatejCrhak]

It's not time to end roman numerals, it's time to learn them.

[fedepa]

lol in italy we learn them in elementary school, its not that difficult

[jg]

Girl at 0:46 is trying out for the new robocop movie

[brucerocks]

Way to be specific, I think the question should have been what number is this

[luvvinallmusik]

They don't even use Roman Numerals in what was the Roman Empire anymore.

[yiewgvy]

"Wouldn't have a clue sorry, I'm from Australia" me af 🇦🇺✊🏽💘

[Jaybi_Haider]

0:46 and 1:01 You people call this style? Dafuq is wrong with you people?

[FLOODOFSINS]

She should sue the Tonight Show for millions for being assaulted. It's not okay to walk up to strangers and throw water in their face as if it's a acid attack and neither is throwing confetti

[Matt-nogg]

To be fair, most people probably didn't get it because they didn't know they were supposed to be Roman numerals. Like if you came and shoved the letters "LIV" in my face, my first instinct would be a nickname for Olivia, not the number 54.

[martinfung]

To be fair you can't just walk up to people holding a card with three letters on it and ask them what it means. At least give them some context like 'what is this Roman numeral?'

[SILMANTV]

0:46 she’s in the future we gotta keep up

[SonjaDawn]

Love Roman Numerals and Military Time - keep up! :-)

[Voiding]

when my mum and dad were a child there teacher told them roman numerals!
