Dan Vs. is an animated television series that aired on Hub Network in the United States from January 1, 2011 to March 9, 2013. It follows the misadventures of a man named Dan and his best friend Chris as they seek revenge against various foes. In season 1 episode 12, titled "Dan Vs. George Washington," Dan sets his sights on the first president of the United States.

The episode begins with Dan ranting about his hatred for George Washington, whom he believes is responsible for all of his current problems. He blames him for the high taxes, the lack of jobs, and even the poor weather. Chris tries to reason with him, but Dan is determined to get revenge.

In order to do so, he first decides to vandalize a statue of George Washington. However, he quickly realizes that the statue is too well-guarded and he needs a different plan. He then remembers that the Declaration of Independence is kept in Washington D.C., and decides to steal it.

Chris is hesitant at first, but Dan convinces him by appealing to his sense of adventure. They arrive in Washington D.C. in the middle of the night, and Dan sets his plan into motion. He manages to sneak into the building and locate the document, but is quickly caught by the security guards.

As they are being escorted out of the building, Dan declares that he will not rest until he has taken down George Washington. He decides to hold a press conference in order to air his grievances. Chris is again hesitant, but Dan convinces him to help by appealing to his sense of justice.

The press conference turns out to be a disaster, as Dan's ranting and raving only serves to make him look crazy. However, he does manage to catch the attention of a group of protesters who are also angry about the state of the country.

Dan joins the protesters, and together they set off to march on the White House. Along the way, Dan leads the group in a rousing rendition of "Yankee Doodle," which inspires even more people to join them.

As they arrive at the White House, they are met by a group of soldiers. Dan steps forward, declaring that he will not back down until he has taken down George Washington. However, before the soldiers can do anything, George Washington himself appears.

Dan is initially speechless, but then begins to rant and rave about all the ways in which he believes Washington has ruined the country. Washington calmly listens to Dan's complaints, but then explains that many of the things Dan blames him for are actually the result of later policies and decisions made by other politicians.

Dan is taken aback by Washington's calm demeanor and rational approach, but ultimately realizes that he has been wrong to blame him for everything. The episode ends with Dan and Chris watching as Washington rides off into the sunset, rethinking their approach to revenge in the process.

Overall, "Dan Vs. George Washington" is a lighthearted and humorous take on the concept of revenge. It pokes fun at both the idea of holding a grudge and the way in which Americans tend to idolize their founding fathers. While it may not be the most politically correct show out there, it is sure to provide laughs for fans of irreverent humor.
