25 divide by 5 equals 14

[MrPeanutbutter71]

I get it haha

[misscutecupcakebunny]

lol

[KoreanUrDogs]

Sounds 'bout right

[aavvnneett]

insane troll logic.

[MegaSmilee1]

Both the mum and the other guy forgot that multiplying stuff in thetens needs an extra 0 in the ones place.

[draussie]

Hahahaha...country hicks -- gotta love their clever stupidity

[TheWinMacLinTechie]

Redneck Math

[tml4873]

So this is what passed for humour 60 years ago.

[vaughandude1]

Would (in this trick) 48/6=18?

[XhaosXin]

@vaughandude1 You'd actually have to use 17 instead of 18.

[MrLickytoes]

That man is the oldest Troll

[DaTux91]

Belgian comedians Gaston & Leo had the same joke with 35/7=14. Their version is better :)

[lNasukal]

It's genius!

[PackerBronco]

Using Pa Kettle's method he should have said, during the second part of the division problem, that 5 goes into 20, 0 times because 5 can't go into 2 and 5 can't go into 0, so 25 divided by 5 really equals 10!

[devilixh]

make sense...hahah

[MrMinecraftminers]

Abbot and costello is better :DD

[jinzodude]

They live in Oceania

[streetcrazykenny]

Is this where the Federal Reserve learned math?

[31415equalspi]

@streetcrazykenny from here, abbot and costtello and, gaston and leo

[webandit1]

They ripped that off of abbot and costello...

[greg55666]

It's so weird that it's exactly the same joke as Abbott and Costello 13 x 7 = 28.

[Morpholomewy]

This is how all internet arguments go.

[nasur86]

ma and pa kettle

[pAvl037]

hmm.... 25 dislikes divide by 5 equal 14 dislikes

[XplosiveOctane]

My friend showed me this math at school and I felt angry at him just like that guy with his parents. But he showed me this vid later and it made sense.

[kickerr122]

this is making me forget how to do multiplication because this makes sense...

[SkillzTerror]

Hmm...there are 14*5 dislikes xD

[MikehMike01]

Ripoff of Abbot and Costello

[Xmaggot93X]

No, there's nothing wrong with your speakers. It's just the video.

[doneyfonsen444456]

ey sharing fantasies

[fruant]

So far 14*5-1 dislikes.

[MrTheGreatOne1]

I'd walk out of class holding my head lol

[BooksRuleAll]

Mrs. Lightbody, wherever you are, you NEED to see this :)

[pohhc]

hahaha damn funny joke... Use a few wrong methods to arrive the same wrong answer.

[BrianCardova]

Obamanomics, lol.

[marshalt]

"Let me rub this out." THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!

[SmokeMonster87]

Wow, the same joke told 3 different ways...and none of them are funny.

[megarb777]

my left ear liked this



[hndrix1964]

Not a &c ripoff-This is ma and pa kettle-famous and funny in their own right....Look it up....

[NBGamer115]

abbott and costello did this better

[debra1babe]

hehe i need a man

[barnbarn122]

360p hasn't look this great in full screen!!!

[fishyc150]

The division part is the only one that both these and Abbott/ costello actually cheat or use slight of hand by adding on to the original numbers almost without comment. The others actually work but without the premis that 1+1 always = 2. 1 and 1 could always be 11 not 2 and so on. Very clever writing...

Anyone know who did the sketch first???

[jrcalhoun759]

This does seem very very similar to the Abbot & Costello skit. But they were using vacuums. But oh well, they are both very very funny.

[NoGuff]

In the White House $2.4 trillion = 24 jobs.

[daven58100]

Pa Kettle used to figure executive bonuses on Wall St.

[xMidnightOwlx]

or you could just put down 5 five times

[ihatecolereynolds]

This doesn't remind me of Abbott & Costello...

[VanMcChicken97]

figured out the multiplication and the addition. but how did the division worked??

[Sarahvampirechic11]

I am SO doing this in math class!

[maynesz]

toda mi vida he sido engañada...

[dthmon]

my right ear feels abandoned

[EternalDensity]

@dthmon I was lazy and just stuck my left earbud in, so I wouldn't have noticed the missing right track if you hadn't mentioned it.

[Colfax11000]

Yep without the order of operations this would make sense.

[negativeking9]

wow....all the comments say they watched in math.....i watched it in a honors american government class

[raaja0708]

Ing

[raaja0708]

LOL our math teacher played this and we are all LOL

[Rocknshooting]

Lol I Wanna Do This In Math Class To The Teacher LOL!!!

[musaihmine]

@Rocknshooting We watched this today in my math lesson :D

[degeneration55]

@Rocknshooting me to lmfao

[SupriseMe98z]

@Rocknshooting My classmate already did it. LOL

[SupriseMe98z]

@Rocknshooting Haha, my classmate already did it. LOL

[drek257]

i bet they can divide by 0.

[AceofSpades2117]

I think I understand why he did this. He didn't want 5% he wanted 14% :P

[stachekeeper]

Ma and Pa!

[1987billman]

sad thing is, this clip makes complete sense to me!

[hardcorehunter1]

is it odd that I'm 19 and I grew up watching ma and pa kettle AND used this scene to drive a professor crazy last semester?

[TCSportychik97]

i love this video!! i wish math was this fun in really life

[jaspal99]

Derivitives

[DarkGenesis15]

/watch?v​=Lo4NCXOX0p8&NR=1

watch the original abbott and costello sketch

[Ellie0852]

haha

[MRZBoss]

and they call it new math?

[Aerial0Black]

I think my IQ just dropped 30 points.

[IGNsucks]

does anyone else find the way they write division odd. Ive never seen that before.

[trumpetman309]

You can always divide by zero. You just get infinity

[APMathNerd]

@trumpetman309 Not true. Dividing by zero can't give an answer. What you're thinking of is taking the limit as x approaches 0 of y=z/x.

Z can be anything, and x approaches zero but never gets there. As x approaches 0, Y approaches infinity, but again, never actually gets there.

[Sparclen]

Everybody who says: 'Omg this is so cool gonna do this at school!'

Good luck getting F's. The points where this math is wrong are easily detectable.

Wrong logic is being used, and your teacher will not 'fall' for this.

[4lCapwn]

@Sparclen say whaaaaaaaaaat

[MovieKid19130]

This is like Abbott and Costello

[dudog9]

14+14+14+14+14= 20+5= 25!!!!

He's a genius!!!!

[43Copenhagen]

@dudog9 Yessss! :D

[Xs0uthX]

I bet he can also divide by 0.

[falariem]

@Xs0uthX I think my head would explode if I saw the equation on that one.

[darkhunter64]

The public school system in action.

[omgastealthclwn]

Ima do this to piss off my math teacher now!

[zack5779]

@omgastealthclwn lol, i did that, i got an A for bringing back memories :D

[SpyMaster356]

16 people think that 25 ÷ 5 = 5

(Btw i know that it is 5 ;) )

[DanelerHostcrexcum]

@SpyMaster356 no it isn't. it is 14

[TheCoffeeNut711]

sadly theres some people actually likes this.

[Autumnleafff]

lol 25 divided by 2 doesnt even equal 14

[spyroonline175]

I gotta show this to my geometry peers! LOL

[mshippo17]

i love this

[Codkidz97]

its he same as abot and costella 7 x 14 is 28

[MasterAtanas]

10x5 = 5 WTF?

[brokemuzik816]

Im going to use this one day

[FlumenSanctiViti]

What film is this?

[TheNewRiflemanBob]

How many years did this come before Abbott and Costello? I thought Costello was the first one to use this gimic to show that 13x7 = 28

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

I wonder if this would have worked had I tried it in school???? lol I so loved the Ma and Pa Kettle movies. They would show them all the time when I was a child, and I so loved how they had so many kids that they didn't even know all their names! lol When times were so much simpler. Thanks for sharing this terrific clip with us!

[fakjbf]

@Beautifulmusiclistnr it wirks with almost any numbers

[rhianaeverest0808]

this is so hillarious-works with 13x7 too

[canUbelievethisrain]

i love math~

[mcwiggles1213]

you learned this in kindergarten! 5*10 is 50. 5*4 is 20. there for, 5*14 is 70.

[arcpianogrl]

@mcwiggles1213 jeez, what kindergarten did you go to? i didn't learn that until 3rd grade

[mcwiggles1213]

@arcpianogrl

Really? We did more of it in 1st grade, but this is where we started mostly on this.

[Jessieboo1991]

xD ROFLMFAO this is epic Pa and Ma! xDDD <3

[Pokemonfanzo]

12 X 7 = 28. *shot*

[Quindal]

it's federal reserve math

[ausdarp]

abbott and costello rip off

[MarkusHomer]

@ausdarp: Totally! Stole it 1 to 1!

[link4355]

never thought of it that way lol

[DeputyDoug829]

This is the complex math the government has been using for years...

[qwaserdiop]

This is funnier when you compare this logic with that used by people who deny evolution, lunar landings, etc

[greymattersblog]

Update: Apparently, this routine goes back to a 1921 musical called "Shuffle Along", written by Flournoy Miller and Aubrey Lyles. Miller's daughter sued Flip Wilson in 1972 for performing this routine (the 7 * 13 = 28 version, with Michael Jackson) without authorization.

[lvtheword]

i love it

[kwassagirl]

How we loved Ma and Pa Kettle as children at the Saturday matinee movie (in Melbourne Australia in the 1940-50's. Many thanks for posting.

[hankaaron1961]

This would be a good game to play at a bar!

[OptimusPrime712]

Lol at 0:31 I was like "Omg he's writing backwards! Duh!!"

[amishhacker]

Which was first....this or Abbot and Costello 13X7=28  Its the same routine.

[greymattersblog]

@amishhacker - It's a vaudeville routine that was old before Abbott, Costello, Ma Kettle, AND Pa Kettle were all born. The movie above was from 1949 (Simply titled "Ma and Pa Kettle"). The Abbott and Costello bit with Shemp was from the 1941 film "In The Navy".

[greymattersblog]

@amishhacker - Quick correction: This is from "Ma and Pa Kettle Back on the Farm" in 1951.

[jhbmc1]

A classic is still a classic

[mperezjr98]

Funny

[Shadow32951]

the lady was probaly blond

[SunnieG33]

my left ear is lonely.

[Ruinedbad]

The woman says 5x4 is 20 so of course 5x14 is 25 lol hillbilly math :p

[whemadre]

Great routine!! Pa was always so deadpan.

[amsparz]

Try counting by 5's on your fingers u idiot!!!!!!!

[lcvd1]

Great stuff, hahahha!

[sinojtjej]

it's 5 x 10 not 5 x 1, WOMAN!

[delgande]

hah, old people

[harrypotterchic1]

i love how the dad says that 4x5 is 20, and yet he doesn't think 5x5 is 25 :p

[Princejustice1004]

@harrypotterchic1 I was thinking the same thing! :)

[hardcorehunter1]

@harrypotterchic1 Pa Kettle was never all that bright.

[Sarahvampirechic11]

@harrypotterchic1 I am worshipping your username...p.s. Gryffindor girl here :p

[TheSuperMathemagicia]

@harrypotterchic1

20+5 is 14.

[XB360RUSHGamma]

i should do this to a math teacher

[ho8734]

well 2 times 2 = 22

[vozpit]

Considering Abbott & Costello stole a lot from other comedians, I think we should let it slide that Ma & Pa Kettle took this one. Besides, A & C's version is 1000% better.

[Ryommy]

am i the only one realizing that this is also used by Abbott and Costello?

[yongslicer]

@Ryommy no, no you aren't

[Xung1321]

he shouldve done 5+5+5+5+5

that wouldve been easier XD

[Bratz4Ever99]

i could see this being true and we watched this today in 6th grade program challenge math

[coltfromthe251]

these people should have been sewed they stole that from "abbott and castello."

[Obito1600]

@coltfromthe251 true dat bother

[sassysizzle]

Wasn't sure where they were going with this but it sure is funny! Love Ma & Pa Kettle. ha ha ha

[taron224]

@WhatElseExceptNature ur fuckin stupid... And btw nice comebacks. I can tell u put some thought into them.

[WhatElseExceptNature]

@taron224 Look who's talking. Now get out and don't show me your username again kid

[18oroldertube]

WTF WHAT KIND OF MATH IS PA USING?

[MALISA295]

omg i love the wife she iss soo funny

im suprise that your leanin

love this old couple (L)(K)

[Uzianium]

Guy who proved it is the U.S.'s treasurer.

[LKTraz]

Good grief people....does nobody here have the sense to figure out who the old couple is? Just FYI it's the comedy team Ma and Pa Kettle. Math jokes like this were popular in the 30's and 40's due to the emergence of physics to a more mainstream role in society.

Learn some history for chrissake!

[flyingspacepotatoes]

i came here from a video where abbot and costello did the same thing

[CALICOTV301]

LMAO @ her throwing the chalk on the ground hahaha

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! hahahaha

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, lmao 21 22 23 24 25 haha

Whoever made this bit was a genius!

[dawnicagirl]

XD is it sad to say that it makes sence?

[CALICOTV301]

@dawnicagirl LMAO hahahahahaaha

Not at all! Because they at least had justification ahaha

I died laughing because both of them made more sense than he did. Lol They actually showed why it equals 25

LMAO when he said "We didn't use the 2 before do we bring it down here" hahaha

[rainety]

can't hear

[VSchwarcz]

it all makes perfect sense to me

[gingersnapdragonfly]

.... Abbott and Costello anyone?

[arcpianogrl]

omg, I can't believe I've been doing my math wrong for all these years!

[mobuslol]

Way to rip off Abbott and Costello.

[Twilightheart1000]

lol i want to do what XtraRandomness did XD

[frozenflamefire]

Math Error

[queenN1992]

pa is so right jk

[310President]

Haha i like Abbot and costellos version is better

[4977749]

that was funny way to fool him

[NiniTheGangsta]

THAT WAS FUCKING FUNNY LOL

[rong208]

That's Ma and Pa Kettle...you must be a youngin'

[nachoisone]

wow so this is why i failed high school math :/

[westiesinwonderland]

this video confused me but i know for sure that those parents are extremely stupid

[jaggy32]

is my mind really this bad?? :29 ......"let me rub this out here.."

[cbizzle]

Funniest video I have seen in a long while...

[realwaluigi]

I don't remember how to do division after watching this.

[sapphire630]

Thats Ma and Pa kettle. I use to watch them in the 60's

[sapphire630]

Thats Ma and Pa kettle

[phil123711]

Ms & Pa Kettle are classics

[sapphire630]

@phil123711

yep I use to watch them all the time.

[Thecsmobe9]

That is Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride from the Ma and Pa Kettle movies

[missindependant32]

Is the woman the same woman who plays Katie in Meet Me in St. Louis? They look/sound so similar?

[FinallyImIn1]

I was shown this a year ago in Maths

[sunkisslala]

This shit is funny :)
