Please tell me this isn't true!!!
 

This deserves a thread of it's own.

Probably the most frightening Youtube video I've ever seen.

Meh, old.
Still not surprised.

haha i remember this episode
funny stuff

Old as in things have changed since that footage was taken?
Makes the ones on here look like geniuses.
No hard feelings.

Ha! nicfit!!!

Old as in the video is old.
It's depressing how ignorant people are, and how much that ignorance is celebrated.

I know what you meant.
Just pulling your leg.

Don't get me wrong, we have them here too... in smaller numbers.

I want to say, "No, American's aren't that dumb. They just picked really dumb people." But really, it's pretty believable. I mean I'm sure you could find people like that everywhere, but it's probably much easier to find here.

fuck that... notice he didn't show all the people who got answers right. and he probably asked these questions in the fucking bible belt, everybody knows their dumb. douche.

my favorite line by far was about the masonic order. is this what wales is like?

um...

yeah...

I answered Uganda before I thought of United States of America. :(

Yugoslavia.

that dude seriously did not know how many sides a triangle has.

jesus fuck. i can answer every one of these questions correctly! it's not that fucking hard!


why am i not surprised?

Haha, the only one I didn't know was the coallition of the willing.

God damn, this is why I wish I didn't live in America.

I think the Star Wars question, the Country that starts with a U, and the Kentucky Fried Chicken one just seriously depressed the fuck out of me.

I wouldn't have gotten the Coalition of the Willing thing, either. I also don't know who Kofi Annan is, nor do I know how dumb I am for not knowing. But he's obviously not a drink.

I've never liked these "stupid tests" that Jay Leno popularized a while back. People get really excited when they see this (they call it "depressed" but I honestly think it makes people proud of themselves) and it makes everyone's egos inflate. Even people that don't know where Iran is located would say, "Well I know how many sides a triangle has, at least." I've said some really stupid shit when I've been put on the spot like that (in political discussions). I honestly don't think that represents someone's intelligence.

That being said, Geography does need to be drilled into the heads of these little brain dead fucks that are running around. But videos like this make it really difficult to travel in Europe.

Yeah, that is very true. I bet they warm them up with easy questions (like the triangle thing) to get the people confident, so that they will answer the harder questions confidently. It is really unfair. No doubt there are stupid people here, but they take out all the people who get the questions right.

As for geography, I am head and sholders better than the people in that video, but I actually want to be better. I am planning on buying a big map of the world and hanging it in my barren-walled room.

i am so embarrassed to be american because of stupid motherfuckers like in this video.

exactly. I love how American TV gets recycled into NEW and INTERESTING content.

would you really want to watch Mr. Funnyman's Super Funny Show if he played the other 10 hours of footage that were edited for LULZ?

OMG STOOPID AMERIKKKANS ARE SO STOOPIDIO, NO?? utoobs plz.


what *I* find funny is the fact that Mr. Funnyman had to be subtitled into EngRish.

Sure they edit out all the people that get the questions right, but there's really no excuse for not being able to answer basic general knowledge questions if you were born and bred in a country that claims to have one of the best educational systems.

Let's not forget that we're talking about a superpower here, people.
One that has proclaimed to set an example for us all.

There's one for British people too.

because we (Amerikkka) are comprised of a race of ubermensch, right? or maybe you are saying yr home is? <--- I'm starting to think that this is what this thread was really all about.

there are more stupid people on this planet than anything else (except maybe ants and COCKroaches). finding two minutes of blathering fools to fill up a yout00b video would not be difficult NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE.

All I'm saying is that I expected a lot more from a so-called modern society such as the US or any other country for that matter.
No anti-americanism here, if that's what you're thinking.

people get nervous when they talk to a camera. their brains stop functioning.

^^ although this is true, you shouldn't make excuses for stupid people.



watch videos of a Ms. Amerikkka contest and get back to me!

but seriously, it's pandemic.

"But in Epsilons," said Mr. Foster very justly, "we don't need human intelligence."

why are you embarrassed? these are the people flipping your burgers and cleaning your gutters-- they don't need to know geography for what they do. they just need to show up to work and do as the tv tells them.

what i mean is... everyone finds their place in the world, right?

"Alpha children wear grey They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm really awfuly glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able …"

what's so surprising?
it's comedy, this was obviously biased towards silly stereotypes.


ps:americans are fat and stupid.

stupid like a fox!
