The video tutorial explains the correct placement of commas in dates. It introduces the concept humorously by distinguishing between different types of 'dates' and focuses on separating the day and year with a comma. Two examples are provided: 'March 12, 2019' and 'June 15, 1980', demonstrating the rule in practice. The video concludes with a reminder to use commas correctly and offers additional resources for further learning.
