  • I miss the 90's :'(

  • Whether or not those were "general knowledge" questions is highly debatable. Second, she seems to think that intelligence equates to the ability to recite sterile facts rather than grasping concepts, creativity, and myriad other things. Third, that was not a scientific survey, so it was pretty much meaningless, since her sample wasn't large enough, and how easy would it be to edit this to make it seem a certain way? Four, a lot of those models seem to think success suggests intelligence? Fffff.

  • Skin is the largestest

  • I answered all correct except for the capital of mongolia. I did not know the answers before hand, I worked it out. I do believe Skin is the largest organ, the second largest is the liver. General knowledge questions do not prove intelligence by the way. They pshow that you have a good memory more than anything. Problem solving and processing of input data shows intelligence. Greater still is the application of knowledge. when the world is crumbling we turn to scientists and engineers not models

  • No, models are not stupid. It' s just shit made up by jealous people. Who really should be judged as stupid is who believes that physical characteristics affect intelligence in any kind of way .-..

  • @saramichealhpt thats quite interesting. It is indeed true, there is no link between outward appearance and intelligence. However there is a link between how intelligence and the environmental stimulation. You can see this quite clearly in students.The kids who are smart and stick together and in turn become more intelligent because a group standard is set.While the kids who are not as smart and stick together end up on the lower end of the scale.It is not a full-proof but the likeliness is high

  • @terranark

    It' s not about being smarter. I think it' s about gaining knowledge, which are two completely different things. Being smart is something that you learn in real life. School just gives you knowledge in my opinion.

  • @saramichealhpt Utilisation of knowledge is what makes you smarter. Thus making the goal of school to make you smarter. They give you knowledge and show you how to apply it, it is in your application of what you have learnt that allows you to grow intelligently.

  • @terranark

    I guess. I hate jealous people. i' m not stunner, but I can' t stand people like that, honestly -______________-.

  • 1:18

  • The longest river in Europe is Volga.

  • Those models speak good england

  • kate moss, what a rockstar. I like how the models look back then, very distinguishable

  • nothing wrong with being stupid anyway

  • Ps. The largest organ is the skin. Not the liver. >.>

  • There are intelligent models and the not so intelligent models. There are the intelligent students and the not so intelligent students, there are the intelligent business people and the not so intelligent, there are the intelligent people and the not so intelligent people.

    I hope you get the point I'm trying to make...

  • @suraiyat1 You lost me at the first sentence.

  • I NO STOPID I GOED TO SCOOL!!!

  • Some of them look stupid as hell

  • Did the boy at 4:08 say Turkey? LOL

  • Carmen Kass is the most intelligent model EVER!!

  • omg MTV used to be awesome

  • And the lognest river in Europe is Volga (Volha)

  • I agree with Helena in that if u think ALL models r stupid then U r stupid.I think it comes from less attractive people being jealous that THEY can't be models, and also thinking that since models make money off their looks then they've got nothing else going 4 them.Sure this is true 4 some models but not ALL.Anyway I really miss seeing a lot of these girls like Amber,Shalom.Helena,Nadja,Clau­dia,Kirsty,Eve,Yasmeen,Michell­e,Eva etc.Good 2 c Stella,Kate,Kristen,Naomi etc still working.

  • if they were smart they would be doing more than just walking back and forth all day striking a pose.... what a demanding job, better take the day off to get your nails done and to flirt with some random guys... sounds like an intelligent job to me LOL

  • The largest organ is actually skin!!.

  • @shitttty i cannot believe people wouldnt know that!

  • @shitttty yeah. its clear they are dumb.

  • i think this video is "stupid" because we cant know if she told the models the right answers before she asked the questions, which im sure she did. w/ filming you can cut and re-take and throw away footage you dont want being seen. models are people, some people are stupid and some people are smart. same goes with models. some are stupid some are smart. has nothing to do w/ being a model

  • so staged and keep in mind this was made back in 1996 for MTV (entertainment value). perhaps it's not so much that they're stupid....but dense. I also hate the fact that they think they're better than natural real world women, when actually we'd win on a personality contest every time. and I wouldn't say models are the most beautiful people in the world (some are just yuck!), there are some really gorgeous woman out there who'd never subject themselves to that kind of life. and I applaud them :)

  • 3:03 hahaha helena's laugh!! oh gosh i loove her <3

  • The people who assume all models are stupid ARE stupid.

    Models are not unilateral thinkers...they have lives outside the industry.

    Broad, sweeping generalizations are inaccurate and, frankly, dangerous.

  • Yeah, that white girl would know that Ulaan Bator is the capital of Mongolia, gimme a fucking break!

  • hahahah, this is so fake, models knowing these answers? BULLSHIT!

  • Eve Salvail completly drunked

  • the larger organ in our body is our SKIN ur dummies!

  • @EuTuboSim2010 Well, SKIN is not an ORGAN.

  • @winchesterutd ahahahahahah

  • @winchesterutd Of course! Skin is a singer!

  • @winchesterutd Sure, it is. It's an external organ.

  • Kirsty Hume yes girl if they knew the concept of the fashion industry ....but anyway they dont have a clue no clue! wonder why? but the models get the credits! and she make an ironic look =D

  • Comment removed

  • What's funny is that models are very young. It's like talking to very young boys and expecting them to be a mix of Einstein and Da Vinci and James Joyce in their forties.

  • Gay.but at 1:18 you can see her boobies

  • A math test can proof if they are or not smart, not this... u.u

  • Naomi Campbell is stupid.

  • Are you fucking serious ?! Naomi Campbell has proved in interviews, and in her actions trough the years to be one of the dumbest people breathing...what a fucking waste of space.

  • @gmck23sam I'd say more aggressive and arrogant than stupid. I don't think I've met a genuinely stupid person. Ignorant maybe, but not stupid.

  • @gmck23sam She is not dumb, she´s got problems! what a dumby way to see things!

  • @EuTuboSim2010 : "She's not dumb - she has problems", and you then insinuate that I'm dumb as this is my opinion ? You're clearly not that bright either are you ? What problems ?! Her cocaine habit, the fact that she was raised by her mother on a "rough estate" in England ? So what ?! TRY USING YOUR HEAD ! She has assaulted assistants, received negative press, and then done it again within weeks knowing the consequences ? And the book "Swan" ? She can barely speak in interviews ! She's DUMB !

  • @gmck23sam every person is every person...if i live with her maybe i would say to you if she is really dumb but i dont know her very well

  • @EuTuboSim2010 : I agree with what I think you are saying - every person is an individual. I would never say that "ALL MODELS are dumb" - it's not my belief. However, I'm not speaking about ALL MODELS - just one. Put 1000 people in a room, gave them all the information on Naomi Campbell and her actions over the last 15 years - how many of the 1000 do you think would disagree that she's an idiot ? She took part in a worldwide PETA anti-fur campaign, and then wore fur for god's sake ! DUMB !!!

  • Stupid all the way to the bank. You have to be smart to negotiate the fees that they do and to be able to stay in the business as long as some of them have. Like any other occupation, you will have very bright people and not so bright. One should never generalize about anyone!

  • Those questions were quite hard. YSF

  • stella is just the way she is now,still simplicity

  • please help! what is the name of the song near the end when they say "It wouldn't be hard to explain, if I only had a brain" if you know comment, thank you!

  • will when they or making more money than you or that makes dam smart !!!!!!...

  • How it can be Danube, when I did LEARN AT SCHOOL - its VOLGA. Dont believe, check the internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ou yes, and its actually skin.

  • i love how helena christensen comments on this topic. so adorable here!

  • i get how steretypes are usually false but they're also based on reality

    i mean i don't really have anything against models, but that video was not very convincing. And those questions don't help; proving that you know which film has won the most oscars is meaningless in determining your general sense of knowledge. A stupid Benhur fan might have known the answer as well

  • lol, if they had any brains, they wouldn't be a model and be exploded day in and day out by a superficial business that takes them in young and chews them out when they are 28 years old. Business women my ass, the only thing you need to do is sleep with the photographers and half the people in the agency to be successful.

  • They're stupid, they're stupid enough to agree to be take part in a set up quiz.

  • The skin is the largest organ of the body, not the liver......a lot of these questions were not general knowledge, either. Which country has the highest percentage of TV's? If that is general knowledge, and I really do worry........

    Regardless, you can't generalize. These girls are really young.

    They are traveling the world at an age where others are still in high school. Sometimes, 'street smarts' get you further in life, than IQ scores.

  • The skin is the largest organ of the body! Duh...

  • wow, take2 is still there, lol

  • oh my god bb... another proof, a stupid model is asking stupid, irrelevant questions

  • i think ppl can be stupid no matter what they look like beauty is in the eye of the beholder one mans beauty may be another mans ugly stop being stupid asking stupid questions like this,,,,,,,,,,, as forest says stupid is as stupid does and making a good career on how you look is just as important as a career on how you think.... tho sometimes models are stupid and sometimes intelligent ppl are hot as hell that is life!! subjective. another note a fine frenzy great songs great album okaydok

  • Sorry, but the fact that you set it up is like reinforcing that models are stupid. I don't even believe the statement, but this video kind of makes it true unfortunately.

  • what`s that for a song at 5:05

  • this interview is stupid. How many people know what country has the most tv sets in the world?? This interview was definitely set up. I'm sure there are smart models and dumb ones too. Most people have to go to school to get well paid. Models don't so hence the stereotype.

  • 1:51 Milla Jovavich?

  • @timayyNYC

    No, Linda Evangelista

  • haha All those people they asked about 'what they think of models' are ugly fuckers and clearly jelouse.The men they asked are just sleazy perverst that see women as sex objects, so OF COURSE they think women are stupid.Why would women need to have brains when so many retarded men just see them as a F**k!!!!

  • yeah thats ryt..UNATTRACTIVE people are intelligent

  • hey thats sybic buck from joseph arthurs band the lonely astronauts!!!

  • these are just random trivial facts.... not general knowledge questions at all. but all for hot and smart models.

  • dumb ass models.. how stupid is this clip!

  • model interviewees obviously told answers

  • Cindy Crawford has a physics degree from a fancy uni

  • @rosemarymclaughlin no, she dropped out.

  • Wow this is like the only thing they have to do right and they can't even do that O_O Sometimes I really think model's brains are only between their legs -__-

    It is all superifical, no brains needed. I think modelling clothes is ridiculous anyway. Anorexic women get paid millions to walk down a runaway while you could use a dummy or just go to a store and put them on. Never understood why models are needed. The fashion industry could save much money on them.

  • Your skin is your largest organ. It covers your entire body and has a surface area of around 2 square metres. Its thickness varies from 0.5mm on your eyelids to 4mm or more on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. In total, it accounts for around 16 percent of your body weight.

    The country with the most TV sets is definitely not China, especially in 1996. It is far and away the United States, which has about 120 million sets in 72 million homes.

    And Titanic won 14 oscars in 1997

  • Models are a random cross section of society. They are chosen based upon looks, not personality, which means that you get all types of people modeling. There are smart models and there are dumb models.

  • Successful models just CAN'T be stupid. To be professional, successful and to earn money ... well, that asks for certain dose of intelligence.

  • Well, Abbey Lee Kershaw is one of the top five highest-paid models in the world right now and she used all that money to put herself through Columbia, for one.

  • pfft, common knowledge questions... more like trivia

  • 1:18 nipple PAUSE XD!

  • @NokeSmehh Nips on mtv haha where is this mtv? lol

  • Models and strippers get the same "rap", and it is quite the opposite.

  • for all the question that they ask to the model i'm sure that they give them the answer before !just to rupt this conception of "beautiful as stupid"

  • most of them arent really that pretty in real life thats the truth

  • @iRULEu207 How many do you know?

  • Gee, that didn't look SET UP at all!

  • @Dehzee well the last part...

  • generally i think they are stupid... there is a difference between knowledge and the capacity of reason... but, like in all professions, there are intelligent people there...

    my theory, non scientifical, is that models dedicates a lot of time to their bodies and don`t have the time to solve problems in a scientifical approach

  • Dude, how do i find the guy at 1:04. Sexy doesn't even begin to describe him. Yummy.

  • SEX PISTOLS.

  • Saying all models are stupid is like saying all unattractive people are intelligent.

  • @souldust119 You must really suck at critical reasoning dude! First off, all non-models are not unattractive. Secondly, models being stupid has nothing to do with the non-models intellectual capabilities :-/

  • @vz7237 People say models are stupid because of the perceived inverse ratio of beauty to intelligence.Using that logic, stupidity is to beauty just as homeliness is to intelligence. Logic like is why stereotypes persevere. Please enlighten me with your thoughts on the subject.

  • @vz7237 Anything else you would care to add, brainiac?

  • @souldust119 who the hell thinks models are attractive?

  • @Kakkapieru The look of the mainstream model matches what people see as a marketable aesthetic... So apparently the majority of consumers find them attractive. You didn't put much thought into that, did you?

  • @Kakkapieru That's what I thought. Jackass.

  • @Kakkapieru Faggot.

  • @Kakkapieru HAHAHHAHAHA She put you in your place, faggot. I used to fuck guys like you in prison.

  • @LeeHO6262 well fucking guys in jail makes you homo not me. fail!

  • @Kakkapieru There's nothing gay about fucking guys in prison, nigger. You'd be the gay one for taking it in the ass. You also just let a woman tell you off. That's a real fail.

  • The longest river in Europe is Volga which runs through Russia the second longest is the Danube

  • lol

  • nipple at 1:19

  • speaking different languages doesnt make u any smarter, just more articulate.

  • @alanangeles91 learning languages other than your native tongue can be very challenging and takes a fair amount of brain power and effort so you do have to have a certain amount of 'smarts' to learn other languages, especially as many as they are likely to need working in so many different countries.

  • @shevthechef english i think u must learn the language and the culture of origin in order to call ur se;f truly smar/articulate.

  • @alanangeles91 I would imagine that they would learn a lot about the culture living and working in the country that speaks the language...

  • ..Didn't she ask what the largest organ is IN the human body? Or are ya a very literal and fundamentalist thinker and LITERALLY didn't find that apparent? Think the point that she may have actually been trying to get across is the ignorance/danger of missing out on lovely people (all lovely people), that can occur if people regularly fail to rise to the challenge themselves; to see past the 'easy-to-see'? Easier said than done though, obv... I liked the video anyway. Also liked the irony. ; )

  • Great video!! ,,,,,,,,Fantastic women!!!!

  • 90s MTV was so cool

  • what's the Brain song?

  • Wow they staged the questions(the ones with models) and they still managed to get it wrong.

    Danube is not the longest river in Eu

  • If models were smarter I doubt they would have chosen that profession. It's not likely that they are doing their job because of art either: which would maybe make them a little bit smarter.

  • If models were smarter I doubt they would have chosen that profession. It's not likely that they are doing their job because of art either: which would maybe make them a little bit smarter.

  • @Sadmik I wouldn't say that. A lot of money can be made modelling and if you are 'smart' enough and business savy you can be very successful doing so and, as with any job, people may model merely because they enjoy it and wouldn't be happy in a more conventional job, as well as enjoying the creativity that goes into the designs they wear and the work of the designers that do indeed usually have to go to ART college to learn the skills of their trade and be successful in their chosen field.

  • Models knew the answers probably because it was rigged right?

  • Not only is this hilariously biased it is lulishly wrong, indeed to say models are all stupid is a generalization but to try and say that modelling is full of greatly intelligent people is wrong also. And to the few models that are bright, why the hell are they wasting their talents? If someone is intelligent and talented enough to be a doctor isn't it sad if they choose to be a model instead?

  • @Symbioticism The world of fashion is gorgeous to some people-they really love it. And it IS a hard career. Not all doctors are "smart" either or there would be a lot less malpractice suits filed in the US.

  • @bodymadeforsin I am sorry did you just equate mal-practise in medical care to the banal intertions of fashion culture? (subjective treatment of the female form, or social status idolisation) That is foolish. I can admit modelling is a high pressure job but it isn't hard or more importantly USEFUL. What is hard about dressing up, being made-up and then posing? What is USEFUL about modelling? does it make people healthy like doctors or does it make them sick via adulation of the skinny?

  • funny how she didn't ask the famous models.

  • funny they admit it! but thats nice............

  • but isn't this a widely accepted generalization? then is everyone out there stupid? is it not a contradiction to what they are saying when they say that everyone who believes that models are stupid are ignorant?

  • RANDOM FUCKING QUESTIONS, most television sets, wtf?

  • at least they admit it.

  • Is this TV program gave the answers to these models before they answered the questions?

  • We are smart because :

    1.We know how to walk without falling down (somtimes)

    2.We travel (you need to be very smart to do that)

    3.We speak 2 languages (you need at least 2 neurons to speak 2 languages)

    To know if a person is smart he need to answer this question :

    How many TV sets are in the World ? if you got the answer your smart ,if not your stupid

  • We are smart because :

  • Now I respect them better, I like when people are honest! Yeah we are stupid, but pretty loll .

    Now i have 2 reasons to love you : your pretty and honest

  • Love Helena <3

  • largest organ of the human body is the skin

    and the longest river in Europe is the Wolga

    most popular record of all time is Thriller

  • only a model would be thick enought not to know that all that was staeged

  • because i know you check my account and search in my best video this is dedicate to you.

    fuck facebook and the similar

    fuck the model

  • fucking staged

  • I thought Donovan Leitch was dating a Canadian? Heard he and Kirsty split.

  • the last part is bullshit

  • i thought the skin was the largest organ of the human body

  • @timninerell it is

  • It is.

  • wow - I guess that proves us all wrong ...

  • 1. Dumb questions. Prove nothing.

    2. How many "laymen" answered correctly that aren't shown?

    3. How many models answered incorrectly that aren't shown?

    4. Why do the models look like they knew the questions in advance?

  • couldnt agree more!

  • @joruinc

    I agree totally. I don't think there are too many young Europeans who know who the second man on the moon was.

  • Kirsty Hume married Donovan Letch, didn't she? Nuff said. Stupid.

  • well..the models knew all the answers to those stupid questions...even a two year old would be like what...that general knowledge is brain junk. every person is born with the potential to be intelligent. intelligence is based on knowledge and wisdom (the ability to think freely, life concepts and philosophy)

  • As the stereotype wants it of course!

    But what those self-proclaiming "smart people" seem to always forget is that models were a lot of things before they became models. Yep! They do have talents and intellectual capacities like everyone else, some even more.

    Nobody is ever just a package. Don't forget that beauty and ugliness are outer and inner .

    And green dirty ENVY is the nastiest of all the inner ugliness.

  • Sibyl Buck, rhymes exactly with what i'd like to do to her. took me ages to find out who she was from watching the fifth element. zorgs secretary. what a gorgeous woman

  • Ugly people are stupid...models rule the world

  • if you are clever, you would not have written that basic 'single neurone in brain' thought down.

  • @thandise1 Models Rule...ugly man

  • beautiful girls , i guess being a model doesnt detrmine if someone its stupid or not, but the questions part was stupid idea, looks like they gave the answer t the models hehehe

  • stupid, self-serving video. For Ms. Buck to make this video not only shows that she exceeds all of the worst stereotypes, but that she is actually self-conscious about them. Stupid girl, stupid video.

  • I love how the host even hinted that the answers were fed. "The models knew all the answers *wink*"

    I'm sure a few of them knew the right answers, but a few of them, not so much.

  • wow...but the best male model face is Duško Dobrota on youtube......

  • LOL Now I want to hear the song at 4:18.

    And I just know that Coco & Behati would look at each other and start singing it.

  • This is stupid. Sure models might not be kept up with the latest news and random facts of no relveance but they know things. They know about lighting and angles. They know about what THEY do; why should they be called stupid if they dont know something that they dont need to know? People who say models are dumb and that their job is easy are usually "smart" people who assume just becuase your beautiful it means your dumb.

  • @Sillyusername23: Right on. Those "smart" people are jealous 9 times out of 10.

  • skin is the largest organ duh...

  • @seisei19 internal organ is liver, and external is skin. so yeah...

  • Well , I don't think all models are exactly stupid.I'm sure there is some that are stupid but have beauty so turned to modeling as the only choice.But my sister is pretty & she is really smart..if she decided to be a runway model she would automatically become stupid ? I don't think so.

  • @Sunshiiinne modeling takes time and it does not involve any use of brain, so stating that modeling is detrimental to development of young models brain is quite accurate

  • Comment removed

  • since the 90's the number of models working in the business have been uncountable, so i believe there are both smart & dumb models

  • Actually i think if you were an intelligent beautiful woman, you should model while you're young. Easiest way to make money, why slog your guts out in Tesco's or something. Afterwards you can have your pick of any university you wanted and not have any debts to worry about.

  • The models were TOTALLY fed the answers. WE'RE not stupid, either!

  • Actually, the largest organ in the body, is the SKIN..
