Trevor Wallace's multiplication boast gets a fifth-grade comeback

bro got roasted by a 5th grader
Are two comedians better than one fifth grader at elementary-school trivia? Trevor Wallace and Michael Blaustein team up to test the proposition, and Wallace's attempt to defend his arithmetic skills gets a swift answer.
He says he knew multiplication in first grade. The student replies: "Well you got held back."
That exchange gives "bro got roasted by a 5th grader" its title-worthy moment. The comedy game-show sketch drew an estimated 730,000 views in its first day, nearly six times Wallace's usual start for a Short.
The setup makes the adults' credentials part of the joke: a caption reading "college graduates btw" stays on screen while they work through questions about anatomy, multiplication, mountains and American history. The students supply answers; Wallace and Blaustein supply increasingly questionable reasoning.
Asked whether sound travels faster through water or air, Blaustein starts explaining whale communication. Wallace then confidently blurts out the other option: "Air."
His presidential logic is no sturdier. After a student correctly names George Washington as the first president, Wallace argues for Lincoln because he's on the penny. Blaustein's response is less a correction than a diagnosis: "The way that your brain works is wrong."
