The Mensa Story

[Tahonamaya]

I didn't take the Mensa test... but I have taken a professional IQ Test.

[Finstahy]

I think I just watched the most disgraceful ad of all time, saying that all science is wrong, and that there are no greenhouse gases, that gravity isn't real, that germs don't exist, that the world is flat, that the sun orbits the earth, and that they want to change the way science is taught in schools. That's sad.

[EYAccount]

I have an iq of 187...

Well i just made that up but still...

[nyanfication]

I don't think that there is really a proper answer for Mensa 'examinations'. The type of answers you choose determine the way you think, and how you see patterns. My friend and I once took a Mensa test, and we had a completely different way of looking at every question.

[skittles1773]

@Alysserification

It's like this society for geniuses, I think you need an IQ of 140 to get in

[ErdbeerDanny]

@skittles1773 it's 130

[selenehekate75]

Alex reads Cain and Able!

[Alysserification]

What is Mensa?

[qwertyacire]

i went with chair cause it doesn't bring or have anything to do with positive emotion. most of the time

[lovecommaalexx]

your hair does look nice.

[ThePavelrox]

accidentaly pressed unsubscribe

GOD PLEASE FORGIVE ME

[WhatsUpScrote]

Dude, it's definitely going to be 'bright'. The difference between it being an adjective and the others not being adjectives is unambiguous and very easy to explain, so that'll be the best answer. Hence, you got the answer right and got into Mensa.

According to the woman who answers the phone for British Mensa, once you've passed the Mensa entrance test you're technically a member for the rest of your life... so you carry on telling people you're a member without paying anything!

[lscholl23]

i have no idea what you were talking about in this video...i was to interested in your hair... :)

[applebiteTV]

omg do alex and liam do tesco.

[MissDWGurliie]

alex and liam do tesco.This has to happen.

[Aerynie]

MENSA were doing buy one get one free when I took it like five years ago. I think they do it constantly.

I got in, and turned 'em down.

[LozzieBVBSavedMyLife]

"You should give blowjobs.....just like this girl!" Xd ohmygod i would have peed myself if that had happened X'D

[PinkButterfly2662]

You look like a mad scientist (:

[awesomeDJisme]

how is it possible that you only have, like, 2 flagged videos, but one video you made that people are completely fine with is actually called 'Alex & Anna Watched Porn'???

[taliby13]

I caught it! You were about to say doobly-doo but you didn't want to copy the vlogbrothers! Aha!

[hopeeloveehappinessx]

I've been watching your videos for about an hour and a half. I love you. Just sayin.

[kathrynlynnfrench]

I know this is a little late, but you should read Cain and Abel! I really enjoyed your take on the Creation.

[kenj0418]

The new, simplified Mensa intelligence test: "Please send us £15 and £25/year to join our club of no apparent value." Anyone that sends it in is clearly not smart enough.

[MonkeyWhoWouldBeKing]

we will not be silenced

vox populi ext vox deus

[198CharlesMartel198]

Imagine him dying without knowing what the answer was... my god

[alejandrorororororo]

Bright is the only adjective.

[bookchick101]

your hair is insanely hot

[Farahosophy]

so what was your IQ according to mensa?

[cheekeycheesey]

the sun its the only one that can't exist literatally on earth

[Sweatysocks2k11]

Excuse me for being extremely dumb here but could some one please tell me what Mensa is?

[xochilth813]

@Sweatysocks2k11 Oh. It's like an IQ test...I think.

[KSaebinMusic]

@Sweatysocks2k11 yeah I think you pay them (Mensa) to take the IQ test, and if you're in the top 2%, you get into Mensa. I honestly don't see what the point is, to be honest.

[MotionCitySoundtrac2]

THE PUFF LEVEL ARE HIGH O.O

[SarahTheWolfe]

I thought this was John Green, from the thumbnail. Hmmm, weird ^-^

[7Write4This9Heart7]

lol. XD Nice... Huh... I'll have to research this 'Mensa' thing, too... XD

[peanutbutter4141]

i really wanted to watch the video with the age restriction so in the middle i paused this, logged onto my friend's youtube where shes 18 and watched it and then came back and at the end of this video you say i could just watch it on your blog -_-

[popcorning98]

your hair is beautiful <3

[BeatleBiter]

Oddly, Mensa, or Menso, is a slang term adjective in Spanish for being really dumb....

[xxxWheelchairsxxx313]

@BeatleBiter Maybe it's an ironic name...

[CraselinPlusPlus]

Oh and Nerimon, if YouTube says they are fixing that little work around with the embedded videos, don't worry because it just means they are changing the layout :)

[NanakisAntz]

Spot The Odd One Out:

Bright Hope Sun Cat Chair..... What?

[GreenEyedSatanxx99]

I'm in Mensa! ;)

[TheJakekeith]

Looks at video responses

Australian angered about Stolen Bike

How is this related?

[ilikedacentvideos]

What is Mensa?

[waterdude125]

@ilikedacentvideos A community of people who are of over average intelligence

[XgeoXluvsXcatsx]

@laguna2432 in italian aswell...

[inphrased]

"bright, hope, sun, cat, chair... what?"

[Laguna2432]

mensa is the place you eat at when you're in school in hungarian and german but i thought it meant that in other languages too?

[LowlandFox]

do the Agincourt one mos def.

[MelonDAdevil]

Mens means period in swedish. The bloody kind.

[thatfrknmexican]

Mensa in spanish means dumb, retarded, or idiot.

[melonsmayhem]

why are your sleeves so dirty?

[ImNotYourBreakfast]

@melonsmayhem It's part of the design :)

[o404o]

@melonsmayhem It's a 'dirty hoody' That's the design.

[OhYouMeanMe1]

'Mensa' means 'table' in latin... just a fun fact...

[lcnorlak]

@OhYouMeanMe1 I thought it meant dumb but ya leanr somethin new everyday.

[GjestenFraSkogen]

@OhYouMeanMe1 It means 'stupid lady' or something in Spanish i've heard

[MattVlogsNow]

@OhYouMeanMe1 It's supposed to be a "round table society" haha

[victoriaandthewolf]

@OhYouMeanMe1 mensa also means "minds" and "meeting" (subject a little bit to various interpretations), which along with meaning table, suggests that the group has a monthly meeting of all their greatest minds around a table.

How is this useful? No idea.

[Bnoffeepi]

@OhYouMeanMe1 Originally they wanted to call it 'Mens' because that means mind in LAtin but, they thought that would sound like a specialist website for gays/a bit sexist so they put an 'a' on the end... just in-case you were wondering why it's table

[OhYouMeanMe1]

@Bnoffeepi Ah, that makes more sense! Yeah, it wouldn't sound so good in swedish either, but you'll have to look up why on your own....

[Teaandtorchwood]

doobly...thing :)

[SuperJadeWilson]

please do a video about your ipad apps and stuff <3 xxx

[Crazee108]

I would have picked HOPE because all the other things are tangible.

[SarahHeheX]

I like the idea that on youtube, you're not allowed to hear about sex until you're 18; but you can have se in the UK when you're 16.

[BextahANDTamzara]

@SarahHeheX You're also allowed to get a tractor liscense at 16 xD Just thought I'd put that out there...

[nellytheninkynonk]

ALEX AND LIAM DO TESCO, PLEASE.

[RachyMellon]

MENSA is a test for super smart people in the UK or something :L my gran was telling me about it when I was like 10 although I'm not completely sure about what they do but WELL DONE ON GETTING IN WHENEVER YOU GOT IN

[theothersituation]

whats mensa im for the us and dont no

[BanalBoxberry]

@theothersituation The irony. Essentially a test to find the top 10% of the country or something. So you don't need to know.

[hubertandclyde]

@BanalBoxberry The irony. It's a society for people with an intelligence within the top 2% of the world. Not that you'd need to know.

[BanalBoxberry]

@hubertandclyde So ~1-2 years ago, I must have been in the top 2% of the country. Great.

[hubertandclyde]

@BanalBoxberry You must have been lucky. You didn't even know what percentage they allowed in, haha. Also, I even told you it was out of the world, then you go off saying the Country. Wow, you really have no common sense.

[BanalBoxberry]

@hubertandclyde It's actually the top 2% of the candidates, not the world nor country. Heard the theory 'Intellectually higher people have less common sense.'

[hubertandclyde]

@BanalBoxberry I'm not taking about a theory. I'm saying you personally have no common sense.

[TheSeriousFart]

@BanalBoxberry Top 2%

[infinityandbeyonddd]

I've only just realised you are in fact wearing a hoodie, not a lab coat. disappointment

[blondbrunetteredhed1]

what is mensa ?????

[emzawzmizrite]

I love you alex but seriously....you need some more shirts! D:

[michellereads]

in my country "mensa" is a dumb woman.

[xsammmie1]

@michellereads Your a mensa...

[Imagineim]

@xsammmie1 *You're.

[xsammmie1]

@Imagineim Your a loser...... :P

[XxNightmareLOVE]

I created a second account a year or so ago called FuckingAgeThing because I can't watch those damn flagged videos because I was honest about my age for once on the internet.

So shit. Honesty screwed me over.

[MeAndMyBadEditing]

@XxNightmareLOVE did the same, except mine was "lolololim16"

[caroegc]

Doobly-thing.

[darthmustache1]

Alex really looks like Rattman to me...

[matthewdunndotbiz]

Alex and Liam do Tescos!

[Detroitpatriot2018]

I LOVE HASH BROWNS!

[cortney2957]

Before you said anything in this video, I thought "Wow his hair looks real nice today." Motivation validated.

[xxMOMOxxCHANxx]

Both of you, shut up. Who gives a fuck. Alex, nice video, thank you for entertaining us!

[myfeetdontlikeshoes]

How frequently do you change your iPad sticker? So far I've seen the evil witch from Snow White and what I'm pretty sure is the Giving Tree

[worldShifter121234]

I am totally for Celebrity Sopio with Jonathan Ross. What can I do to make this happen for you? Granted I am a college student who is low on funds, lacks showbiz connections, and lives in America. Nevertheless, I will do all that I can to bring that beautiful idea into being.

Sorry. It's 3 AM here and I haven't slept in a while. David Bowie, youtube, and lack of sleep makes me stranger than usual.

[SnowingWolfGirl]

Wait, no. I take that back...I know nothing about England >.>

[SnowingWolfGirl]

Is Mensa like the equivalent of the American SAT?

[GB016768]

@SnowingWolfGirl you fucking moron!!!! Mensa is for people who have an IQ above a certain it is not relevant to contries. And american SATs are just standard tests given to all kids. completely different

[SnowingWolfGirl]

@GB016768

Excuse me? did you not see the other comment I put? I realized that before you called me a moron, moron. You can't go around calling people stupid just because they don't know some stupid piece of information.

[ShalingahyphenLing]

@GB016768 No

[caseyrose19]

Heres something totally non related to anything, I like your laugh.

[ShalayahRoher]

PLEASE READ CANE AND ABLE

[okelay]

you can't stop the signal!

[lilangel2407]

Wait, I'm not 18 or over but I can still watch the video? haha

[mar1na1993]

I love how you're sitting in that flagged video xD

[LIVELOVESHOP95]

Really?! that's why I wasn't allowed to see it? stupid I see worst things in my high school. stupid Google

[yayButter]

@Me820634 but what if theyre sitting on the bright hopeful sun-chair petting a cat, which is giving them hope?

[Me820694]

I think the answer to that question is cat, although now ive said that im doubting if my thought process was logical at all. i just instantly grouped Bright-Hope-Sun just because they seemed to fit a similar mood, then between cat and chair i just thought sun chair and just imagined someone sitting on porch chair in the bright sun being hopeful and happy

cat is the odd man out

yes cat final answer

[MissGangamash]

Looking a bit like Jack Whitehall in the video?

[xXWeirdo98Xx]

I flagged it

TROLOLOLOLO

[dinobubbles]

'You can't stop the passing on of explicit and sexual information to our younger generation!'

[shoolessdwarf]

'you can't stop the signal' always worked for me.

[Vermundorr]

Your hair is quite nice.

[littleowleyes]

Celebrity sopio with Jonathan Ross? Yes please!

[XxkateissocoollikexX]

How to get around age restrictions:

Replace '/watch?v=' with '/v/'

[Boroudjou12]

Your hair does look pretty good today Alex :)

[andorhalier]

Is this Twilight?

[CraziAzi]

i really wanna like your video but it's on exactly 5,555 andi don't wnna ruin it :D

[OutOfThisWorldJB]

in German mensa means cafeteria ... just following the croud here...

[Seedly23]

in British mensa means im taking a nice little poo

[KissThePond]

@Seedly23 In spanish, or at least in Perú, it means dumb.

[fysjutton]

Come on guys.. Alex is just a bloke, with what I would call a quite normal view on sex and sexy stuff. It's not like he has an evil agenda. Besides, they already know about sex, just like you did when you were a kid, if you didn't live on Mars.

And I would rather have my 14 year old sister watch a guy on the internet who says: Take care of your own body, and that you don't have to rely on anyone else for pleasure. I wish someone told me that when I was her age.

[WorldClassTimeWaster]

if youwanna watch the video under 18 sign out ofyour account and tell them you are 18 when you click on it, they have no way of checking.

[NathalieLot]

talking of reading Twilight, you said you would watch breaking dawn if it was ever made into a film...

[katyandlucie]

Ancient English Battle, trahaha

[LackOfAk]

you boy is handsome sex boy

[partyCSM]

I forgot how much I missed your messy hair! the wig is back! (oh dear god dont take me seriously)

[nakb90]

DO TESCO. the world needs to know about it!

(discovered it while studying abroad this summer, my whole program loved it)

[PeppermintNachos]

in english mensa means pointless organization for people who want to feel good about themselves

[SincerePraise]

Why would you want someone underage to watch a video of you talking about masturbation? You should sort out your thinking. What if some strange man approached your 12 year old daughter on the street and gave her a document with sexually explicit words written on them instructing her on how to achieve an orgasm. I think you would be a bit more upset about it than the people who flagged your video.

[Kyuubiawsome]

@SincerePraise the point is they censored his video ......that is wrong...

[SincerePraise]

@Kyuubiawsome Censorship for the purpose of protecting minors is not bad, but good. Google didn't ask him to change or take out anything he said. They just restricted who can consume it. They were simply making, a clearly adult, video available "only" to adults. We have to start caring more about our children than we do about defending someone we like; and BTW, I like Nerimon and his video's quite a bit.

[McLovin5791]

@SincerePraise A man on the street and a Youtube video are completely different things. I would be highly protective of my daughter (if I had one) and would be incredibly angry at the man (probably violent) but that is because the kind of person who hands out sexually explicit documents to children is also the kind of person who would then sexually abuse them. A Youtube video is anonymous and with Alex as a teacher, safe. I think it is ridiculous that the video was flagged.

[SincerePraise]

@McLovin5791 Well let's review. #1. Nerimon is a strange man to millions of minors on the internet. They do not know him. #2. He has pointed said minors to where sexually explicit material can be found and consumed. #3. In this material he is "teaching" them to perform sexual acts. If that information shouldn't be limited to adults, then I just don't know what else to say.

[robynbirde]

@SincerePraise

Agreed, wtf Alex? You're that desperate for underage girls to watch your vid where you, an adult male, give them advice on pleasuring themselves? That's really kinda creepy.

[abiilightowl]

oh alex day, you mister crack me up

[Alimaria]

The pen pencil thing is clearly a secret test question.

[1880frankfurt]

In german Mensa means Cafeteria

[ellifaey]

@1880frankfurt Mensa is latin for table. The German meaning of "Mensa" comes from "mensa academica" (Universitätstisch).

The Mensa mentioned in this video is an international organisation that researches the characteristics of intelligence worldwide.

[TheSeedyROM]

Well done nerimon, now I can't watch any of your videos without picturing you getting a blowjob just out of shot. :(

[hallio95]

Alex and Liam do Tesco now

[LoverElephant97]

can't wait for celebrity sopio with jonathon ross next week.. woo!!

[Phnor16]

In swedish "Mensa" means having your period.....

[KillingMilk]

@Phnor16 haha, jag vet, tänker alltid på det när jag hör det.

[wordnerd1231]

OK youtube.........You age restrict the previous video but play a victoria`s Secret ad before this one........WHAT??!!???

[italiankahlan]

@2:43 it's obviously POND! amy is the only person mentioned :P come on alex I thought you'd know that ;)

[rangeyo]

scrolled down to the comment section hoping to see someone give his/her take on the correct answer to the question

i am a little dissapoint

[CrazyAmberRun]

i'd say chair i think, all the rest of the things kinda remind me of happiness and such, despite the fact i hate the sun.

[senselessrose]

I was wondering why it had age restricted it. *sigh* stupid internet

[musicrulesmylife123]

umm...you can just click it, and it doesn't matter how old you are. I started watching 'informed content' videos at like fourteen....so, it's not much of a restriction.

[limericksandoysters]

who's jonathon ross?

[YusukeIZmine]

@limericksandoysters :O You don't know Jonathan Ross?! Search his videos on YouTube! He's this really funny, adorable English talk show host/radio/TV presenter. ^-^

[happyshoppper56]

chair

[penlinemega]

i thought mensa had something to do with menses :/

[lalazz66]

You look like JP from Fresh Meat in the little picture

[trisoutlaw86]

Alex reads the bible has got to happen soon no?

[PlainOldeLisaAnn]

I wouldn't want my little cousin watching your last two videos, but over 16 would be okay I think.

[KellieSuttle]

You should definitely read Cain & Abel!! Actually, you should just tackle the whole Bible while you're at it. =)

[lemonice2700]

What is MENSA?

[GDMFnDB]

I've never noticed another guys hair, but after watching this vid and comparing it to your hair in the thumbnails off to the right I'd have to agree

now I can't stop looking at your hair

[nanarosemay]

pssst... what's mensa?
