  • They just put in the people that are stupid. They cut out all the wrong answers

  • @StopMoBro Surely you mean that they cut out all the correct answers... (8-p)

    (And I think it's intentionally obvious this is what they've done)

  • Just made a third grader feel better about their self.

  • which one is throwing the rocks?

  • this is so not cool....i wish he would have asked me all of those questions i would have nailed them....dumbass rednecks from the south makes our whole country look bad....i almost hurled when that dude said the triangle had 4 sides haha.

  • Has Australia ever gone to the moon?

  • Utopia wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwowwwwww

  • lmao @ 3:39. They just don't make guys like that anymore.

  • some people are just born stupid..

  • Oh my god. I couldn't get past the first three minutes I hope they cut out the intelligent people.

  • This scares me...

    I don't want to live here anymore

  • Posted on the American Made Youtube

  • it's not that we're stupid - it's just that we don't care

  • Holy fuck, this makes me hate living in America more and I'm also from Texas. This just made us look so bad. I could have answered 95% of those questions correctly. I need to figure out somewhere else to live.

  • I am Canadian and I cant believe I just showed up every single american in the vid need better education down there

  • ask me ANY of those questions  i'll tell you the answers! picked some idiots and judging a whole country by THEM?

  • @josephw85 Bear in mind this is not a serious piece and was clearly made for satirical reasons.

  • @EddArmitage hos do you know?

  • Omfg people read the last2 sentences of the video and stop arguing on who's smart

  • i never thought general knowledge in the U.S.A. is so little

  • lol...his experiment is flawwed by 3 points 1. a majority of the people hes interviewing are southern which is the equivalent of people who talk with a cockney accent in britain 2. everyone when put on the spot in front of a TV camera is going to be paranoid and second guess even the surest of answers and 3. i guarantee a majority of the people he interviewed had the correct answers, they just didnt show those people

  • @sonic911 Yes, but it's a piece designed for entertainment, not research.

  • @sonic911 a cockney accent doesn't mean you are unintelligent.

  • This makes me want to cry. Honestly.

  • SO FUCKING TRUE!! that is why I love America. Dumb asses everywhere.

  • 3:53 That guy is drunk, isn' t he:P

  • Stop getting so upset, there's plenty of stupid people in every country.... A friend of mine (in the UK) thought Sweden was in Poland...

  • anyone else notice that he said "the reality couldn't be further from the truth"

  • great! go to Texas. those are the people who voted for Bush!

  • wonder how many interviews they don't have on here of people who actually know crap.

  • I'm in middle school in California and i know all the answers to the questions they ask, maybe these Australians are the "clever" ones.

  • they don't show you the people who got the answers correct. I could have answered all those questions easily.

  • It is pretty ridiculous but to be fair, It's obvious that there were people who did know the answers that were cut out of the film...

    Having said that it is cringe worthy and I'd be embarassed if I was an American... sorry.

    That girl: "Were we even in the Vietnam War?" Did she not go to school?

  • Stupid idiots.

  • hahahaa so true

  • lmmfao stupid yanks should all go eat mcdonalds and gtfo the internet.

  • about as real as Jay Lenos street walking. fucking insulting, and "Americans" are the ignorant ones?

  • god dammit people are fucking dumb.

  • well these are fucking retards

  • god... this is freakin ridiculous. they go around ask 100 americans questions, and they broadcast the 10 dumbest ones. hardy har har.

  • geeeeeze fucking retards

  • First of all, this is obviously not a fake, although thay did only use those that awnsered wrong. Secondly, IT IS FOR COMICAL EFFECT. stop getting so angry about it, everyone knows americans are clever. NA im just messin with you they all stupid.

  • If anyone goes out into any public location with video camera crew and their own personal security they can say whatever they want to and people will have the same reaction. It doesn't matter what country you are in. I have no excuses for the geography questions because that's our public education system which is f***ed. Geography was once taught with History but has been cut out in most public schools curriculum due to costs and lack of resources.

  • we're dead.

  • This is the result of Liberals running our schools. Thank god we spend all that money to educate our people. Looks like we need to throw some more money at our school systems.

    Only in the US can you be that ignorant and not only survive, but live quite comfortably.

  • good editing, go to a college campus or out of texas and you won't have enough clips to fill 9min lol

  • oh god, we're lost.

  • Xoxaloacetate ... Yes you are... compared to europeans you are much dumber!

  • deming... compared to the Japanese you are much dumber!

  • figures, since this is in texas, even if it is fake

  • i knew the answers to most of these questions, i am american. i think a lot of people had most questions right, however they only picked the stupid people, this psychologically makes you think all americans are stupid. WRONG. however a lot of americans are very stupid. if you dont know which religion buddhist monks belong too than you need to go back to school. same with a not knowing what a masque is. embarrassing...makes me feel sick to be an american.

  • A masque, eh?

  • This makes me feel sad about this country, at least not everyone is totally stupid

  • you live in it you should love it because everywhere else is alot worse, even if they dont seem like they are bad, they are worse than the USA

  • at least when the daily show did this segment they showed some smart people.

  • George W. Bush.................nuff said.

  • Come on, Australians and us Europeans like to pick on Americans, because some Americans tend to act high and mighty. Americans could make a similar video about people in Europe, or Australia, if they would spend the time and effort =p.

  • Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

  • ...No one is this stupid. They had to screen a ton of people before they found gems like this.

  • Yes, there are alot of stupid people in America. But it has also produced some of the most brilliant minds. Any country has stupid people, even mine! ;)

  • way to pick all the retards in America, your probably in the south.

  • @blackfuse27 grammar bud, (you're) not (your)

  • wtf we arent that dumb

  • yes you are

  • It's pretty worrying that the citizens of most military active country do not have any idea about who their government is deciding to invade.

  • "Who is Fidel Castro?" "A Singer"...ROFL!

  • I'm from the United States, and I admit, a lot of people in this country are stupid, like I'm surprised that they can find a door to get out of the house in the morning dumb.

  • 1:13 WHAT IS THE UNITED KINGDOM!?!?! lol not possible XD

  • omg that triangle question was scary

  • ....I'm moving to Canada.

  • Ugh. This certainly doesn't reflect on everyone here in America.. Though, I guess it's becoming a majority. Hopefully our image will get a bit better...

  • southbayla24 comment proves the point Americans are dumb and they just follow what they are told which is proven at 8:28.

  • jokes

    i love the map part.

    its funny how american youtubers get so defensive in the comments. Its even funnier how they dig themselves deeper by ripping on brits even though its blatently obvious that this is aussie

  • How come only americans feel they need to wage wars and occupie countrys to be free?

  • I would really like to see the reaction of the people in the last minute, after they've watched Fahrenheit 9/11

  • dumbass britsh and ther retarded comedy, how can we be a dumb nation, and the most powerfull nation in the world. go get your teeth fixed you ugly ass country

  • uhmm... he was from australia, speaking with an australian accent. now who is retarded?

  • Well, To start, I like your Spelling. Next to see the America Education system is working well.

    It's An Australian Clip, so you have made yourself look more stupid. When I thought it would be hard, you prove me wrong.

  • @southbayla24 -Insult fail. It's an Australian clip, not British. "How can we be a dumb nation?" Probably because of people like you.

  • You have to consider how many right answers they aren't showing too, and how many right answers they got before getting a wrong one. The guy is all over the country so there's no telling how many people they asked they questions to. The same video could be made about citizens in any country, America just gets the most attention because it's popular to dislike Americans.

  • KFC comes from Utah.

    just a random fact.

  • This proves nothing, If the british think they need to prove Americans are stupid, then theres something to be said, isnt there? Just proves the majority of British people are pricks.

  • As stated above, it is an aussie clip, and I think it's fairly clear that any nation could produce something similar about themself or any other nation. Certainly here in Britain we have such clips featuring Brits.

  • Agreed. To be quite honest I wanted to start a fight

  • @ljhoeniges AHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHA! Holy shit.... you are one of the people in this video. you cant tell the diff between Australian and British? Your comment proved this video true.

    Thanks, you have made this even funnier.

  • @ljhoeniges and BTW way to make a case that Americans are not stupid... the video did say that it was an Australian video. the British don't need to prove most Americans are stupid, anyway Americans prove that by themselves.

  • @ljhoeniges haha. but the majority of americans are pretty ignorant. and its just funny. haha. we're idiots!

  • @ljhoeniges

    Thank you for proving the videos point.

  • @ljhoeniges hahaha you dumb fuck. he's Australian. Oh the Irony.

  • @ljhoeniges Lmao. I think neither Brits nor Aussies need to prove Americans are stupid after that comment...

  • @ljhoeniges Wow.... Nice bit of random racism there. Not only that you proved 'everything' by that comment. You are thick.

  • @ljhoeniges Whose british in this?

  • @ljhoeniges the people doing the interviewing are from australia, this just proves how ignorant and stupid you are.

  • @ljhoeniges hoooly shit you are an idiot!! haha made my day though. You would fit right in this vid.

  • 3:39... lmfao

  • this was prolly taped in either Cali or Florida... nuff said

  • This is the most funny America-piss take thing i've ever seen! HAHA XD

  • Americans are one of the nicest people I have lived with and some of the smartest. There are all kinds of people everywhere. If someone is really dumb, it is the Australian who thinks he is a smart-ass by making everyone else look stupid.

  • omg i'm colombian but grew up in the U.S. There is a lot of ignorance but its not this bad (to be honest you graved the biggest duschebags and idiots you could find). The most ignorant thing i do hear from americans is when people ask me i speak mexican. God thats so ignorant there is no language named mexican there is only spanish.

  • America also contributes the most intellectuals to the world out of any country, they probably had to interview 100 people to find these stupid ones. So if you think Americans are stupid can you tell me why the Time Higher University Ranking ( A British publication not even American) puts 17 American universities in the top 20. The highest ranked Australian university is in 59th place, with 41 American universities ahead of it. This all from a British publication.

  • dude, settle down, videos like this, like "jaywalking" from jay leno, its just a joke, they could do it in any country, but everybody pokes fun at americans, cuz its fun.

    fyi i am also an american and i make fun of these type of people all the time.

  • im an american and this makes me really hate us -__-

  • I'm an American, too. I think everyone has stupid people in their country. The trouble is that people are uninformed about their world, because they have no interest in knowing. They just can't handle it.

  • idiots lol

  • Haha sometimes I'm so ashamed to be American. I'm 12 and I know more than these people. Wow.

  • Who gives a fuck.

  • I guess thats a typical response from an american feeling threatened by a 12 year old.

    That poor kid better watch it cause they will probably invade and blow him up, like they do with anything they don´t understand!

  • Poor Kyrgyzstan. Its a beutuful country too

  • wow im canadian thats just sad lol they hardly know anything about other countries . morons lol ''Religion of isreal DUHHH LOL JEWISH!

  • if us americans are dumb...then how come we prospered on our own away from u english fucks.. fuck that, its obvious that they are showing only idiots... get bent

  • the reporter is austalian. trying to prove your not stupid but making it worse :)

  • even if this is only the most stupid people they interviewed its still pretty impressive that such an advanced rich country could produce such idiots!

  • prospered.... thats why youre in an economic crisis

    and for some reason hold onto the federal reserve...

  • Haven't they made that clear enough in the synopsis? Very defensive.

  • shame shame shame!

  • wow i knew us peeps were dumb but fgs come on

  • You know whats sad? All they will show is the dumb ones. All the people who were answering the questions correctly won't get on. All the world wants to see is dumb fat stupid American's. When most of this country could have answered those questions with out a problem. Think about it.

  • cnnnnnn

  • Lol @ the accents XD How can they put up with that

  • lol "was star wars based on a true war?" "yes"

    (SORRY the quote were in inaccurate)

  • omg this ppl where bribed. "what currency does Britain have?" POUNDS u idoit. I could have answer all of those questions.

  • wow... i hav no idea how my countrymen can be so dumb... but still majority of the country is not a complete dumbass.

    Also though, seriously though Europe is not much different, ive bin there n met alot of stupid dumbass's.

    I once talked to a scotish police officer who thought New York City was the capital n that everyone lived there... n u call us stupid, tht was a cop, ur required to have a brain to be one... ouch!

    Sadly thats what alot of Europeans think, that ppl live in NYC, what idiots.

  • 3:56 and then a few seconds later he goes on to say canada! PMSL! ROFL! LMFAO! and all that shit!

  • Ok this is just funny. Still Americans are better than brits.

  • In what way? Is it that you are bigger, more wealthy? Whatever! Just watch China and India. They are going to be whipping all of our asses soon and no amount of singing 'God Bless America' is going to help. Perhaps working with those other countries to make a better world is a better thing than trying to look down from your nose at everyone else.

  • thank you for understanding

  • fucks sake man, try and understand that most Americans aren't the dumb asses that the media portrays, I should hate them more than anyone being a hard line moslem, but they are nicer than brits, friendlier, their more open minded and they don't have a fanatical racist asshole party like the BNP which has huge support, I was born in britain and I'd never go back to that shit island.

  • maybe u grew up in the slums, takes money to live in Europe unfortunately, thats why it has the highest quality of life, the most freedom, the best food ofcourse and the longest life expectancy ^^;

  • true, but we kicked your ass

  • well.... you can't be that smart if you spelled Muslim wrong... you fucking moron.

  • So dumb. So, so dumb. I don't know how MY fellow Americans can manage to survive when they're so ignorant. It's honestly depressing.

  • yeah! go and drink some more tap water

  • read the lips

  • I've been to europe and it isnt much better....

  • HAHAHA YA RIGHT BRO ! all little kids know so much more about the world then adults do here !!!

  • I was speechless...

  • star wars is based on a true story true what a idiot

  • shocking really

  • mc donald won ww2 :D and bruce willis won ww1 by himself ;D idiots :D 15 proc of americans think vrice williw won ww2 :D :D :D :D :D

  • mwhahahahaha. Awesome.

  • "any guess = skater" sorry to say this majority of americans are idiots!

  • "...and the president of them is yasser arafat"

    yeah

  • how many smart poeple did they have to go through to get to the dumb shits?

  • wow my people are dumbasses...

  • "Linda Blair's brother"  Haha!

  • hahahaha...this is hilarious!!!....I LOVE MY COUNTRY....America 4 ever!!!

  • I have had the great fortune to travel the world extensively and must say every country is the same, dumb/intelligent in pretty equal measures, the best measure of a country is how the staff in a McDonalds react, and with that theory Germany wins, ramdom idea but thats what I think. Or just listen to Chris Rock- 5%very Smart, 5% very Dumb and the rest are C grade, average

  • triangle? lol wats that?. duh

  • This is so funny and so true. Americans have no clue about the world.

  • Americans are like dogs. they do everything their master says. n they believe all of it. Bill Gates n Steven Hawking or the only smart ppl. how come they are not president they are the smartest ppl in the damn country n yet u got sum1 leading the country that cant even read properly. America is a JOKE!

  • You do realise Stephen Hawking is British, don't you?

  • no i didnt not. i dont noe much about him but i thought he was american. guess i was confused cuz he has a unique acsent.

  • My God they're stupid.....Utah a country???

  • Well, they're hardly going to show the one's that answered the questions correctly now are they?

    Having said that i do believe education in the U.S. sucks and that the powers that be prefer it that way.

  • lol...i'm american, ask me all those questions...your in the dumb part of america.

  • PMSFL @ 58 seconds, how many sides does a triangle (tri as in 3 doh) have?

  • lol he's not fucking john howard

  • Stupid biased European movie is stupid and biased.

  • American by any chance??? the movie is from Australia mate.... Never Mind. It's not biased simply because it's a cross-section of, admittedly not clever, Americans. There are obviously seriously well-informed people in the US too.

  • "European movie is stupid and biased"

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAH­AHHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!­!

    WOW!! JUST WOW!! You just proved this entire skit right!!!! Australia a European country? You are as dumb as the people in this video. AHHAHAHAH!!!

  • Please. Look at the responses I see on YouTube from non-Americans; a lot of you are not very clever nor bright as well. Seriously - look at the comments just on this video.

    The worst part is, that a lot of you THINK you are clever, and, frankly, you are not.

    It's rather sad, ironic, and really quite hypocritical.

  • Be worried people, God help us if those with the finger on the Button are are like these Nice but Dim, so very Dim, Mmmmm,

  • PLEASE tell me that these people are not a true cross section representation of the American public! If chaps are running the show, BLOODY HELL!! Why not give a child a loaded gun to play with.

  • lol i love how they pick the dumbest people they can find. the black dudes hilarious

  • im from america and these people make me sick

  • All Americans aren't this dumb...are they?... God bless America because jeez they need it :S

  • oh dear, are these people for real? how could they not know such basic facts.

  • dumb americans lol

  • I liked it when they put all the false names on the map and people were just choosing the name they saw without even thinking lol

  • Lol the black dude and the question about KFC was funny lol.

  • How do you americans not fall down more often?

  • all blond are stupid :) god american are stupid

  • uhhh... the last minute scares the hell out of me... "what ever he ( Bush ) says i support..." WTF!!?? What are those.... people??? ur kidding me... no wonder they have a financial crisis at the moment!!! And they are called a "world power" ... God bless america ... really ... because...
