When Acceleration Means Yes

0-60: 2.6sec 0-60: 2.7sec 0-60: 2.4sec 0-60: yes

A lineup of three modern sports or luxury cars is compared by their 0–60 mph times, followed by an old red compact car labeled simply “yes.” The joke is that the vintage car’s acceleration is so absurdly slow that it cannot be measured in seconds, making “yes” the punchline. It is used as a reaction to exaggerated performance claims or situations where a technically correct answer is hilariously unhelpful.
