Most of you have the day off today. But do you even know why?

Mostly because George Washington kicked his dad in the nuts and had “badass, British-chomping wooden teeth” and Abraham Lincoln went out like a “straight baller” like Biggie and 2Pac. Let the delightfully bizarre Taiwanese animators at NMA.TV tell you why we celebrate a three-day weekend every year. The surprise appearance by Zombie Ronald Reagan is worth the price of admission alone:

That version is much better than explaining how an act of Congress established “Washington’s Birthday” in 1879 to honor a first-rate American leader and later came to incorporate Lincoln and the general office of the Presidency via state governments and blatant commercialism looking for another holiday.

Taiwan’s Next Media Animation burst onto the scene with its the hilarious video re-enactment of what went down in the Woods/Nordgren household that fateful Thanksgiving night. Since then the group has cranked out brilliant clips about Brett Favre’s pecker, Carl Paladino’s campaign shenanigans, the Chilean miners adjusting to life underground, an Aussie rugby star getting blown by a dog, the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, Conan O’Brien’s return to TV and the invasive TSA patdowns.
