Fairbairn Films puts America's date format through committee

Two new sketches pair calendar logic with girlfriend hints, as the date-format upload passes 115,000 views.

How Americans came up with MM/DD/YYYY

Month gets first billing because, apparently, day is weak. That's the reasoning at the heart of "How Americans came up with MM/DD/YYYY," Fairbairn Films' sketch about a decision that can make reading an expiration date feel like guesswork.

The fictional date-format committee has just two members and very little consensus. One argues for the orderly progression of day, month, year; the other insists they must start strong and confidently predicts that everyone else will adopt their standard. "That hurts to read," says the man in the gray sweater. Calendar administration rarely gets this personal.

Lachlan and Jaxon Fairbairn posted two sketches this week. The date-format meeting drew the larger audience, reaching roughly 115,000 views, while "When your girlfriend starts dropping hints" reached about 79,000. Their first-day audiences were close, but the calendar sketch is now the channel's busiest upload by a considerable margin. The slightly older "When you have a friend crush" also remains among its active videos.

Viewers have turned the date sketch's comments into a second committee meeting. Some make the case for year-month-day, others describe waiting for a day above twelve before they can decipher a date, and several point out that Americans commonly say the month first anyway.

Subscriber numbers held steady, while daily views are running at about a third of their usual level. Nearby comedy channels including Off The Hook and Jacques Ze Whipper are also below their usual daily pace; Colby Martel is having a much bigger week. For Fairbairn Films, the week's most productive bit of bureaucracy is that stubborn defense of putting month first.
