An animated cartoon narrator in a white lab coat explains the famous supposed coincidences between Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy: their presidencies, assassinations, assassins, secretaries, and successors named Johnson. The visuals turn each comparison into an increasingly absurd gag, ending with the narrator pressing a giant RESET button because history seems to be repeating itself. The synthetic narration and dramatic timing make the joke feel like a deadpan conspiracy-theory speedrun.

JFK and Abraham Lincoln were both assassinated in office, which somehow collected an absurd number of coincidences. Let's speedrun them. First, Lincoln became president in 1860, Kennedy became president in 1960, exactly 100 years later. Before that, both were elected to Congress in years ending with 46. Both presidents married women who were 24 years old, socially well connected, and spoke fluent French. Both first ladies also lost a son while living in the White House. Now for the part everyone remembers. Both presidents were assassinated on a Friday before a major holiday while sitting beside their wives, and both were shot in the back of the head. Then there's the assassins, John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald. Both are remembered by three names, and somehow, both full names contain 15 letters. Now watch this, Booth shoots Lincoln inside a theater, then runs to a warehouse. Oswald shoots Kennedy from a warehouse, then runs into a theater. It's literally the same route just played backwards. It gets even more ridiculous. Lincoln dies inside Ford's theater. Kennedy dies inside a Ford Lincoln. Apparently the universe enjoys wordplay. Then there's the secretaries. Lincoln supposedly had a secretary named Kennedy. Kennedy supposedly had a secretary named Lincoln because Subtlety had already left the building. Both assassins were killed before either could stand trial. Convenient. Then comes the sequel. After each assassination, a man named Johnson became president. Andrew Johnson, Lyndon Johnson. Both came from the American South. Both were born in years ending with 08, and both names contain 13 letters. One coincidence? Sure. Two? Maybe. This many? Either history has an incredible sense of humor, or someone accidentally left the simulation on repeat.
