Regardless of whether or not the goal of this video is to make people think all Americans are stupid, the issue is that a lot of people see videos like this and reach that conclusion. We could do this in every country in the world and get the same results.
The USA is not stupid. People are stupid. Not everyone in the US is like that.
They probably went to the south, sifted to get all the wrong-answer clips, and constructed this video to make it seem as if everyone is very unintelligent. Nice...
Even though the probably edited it for comedic value i'm still ashamed that an 18 year old who hasn't completed highschool yet [me] could have answered every one of those questions right and identifed Iran, South Korea and FRANCE. Very ashamed for my countrymen right now.
You'd think that it would be obvious that this video was edited to only show the stupid answers. You could go to any country... ANY country and make a video like this if you edit it to only show the stupid answers.
And if everyone in America was pants-on-head retarded, how could we possibly "run" the world? How could we have the richest people in the world? How could we have the best technology in the world?
300 million people in the US... we can't all be that stupid.
This is so retarded. I could go to Australia and find 5 hours worth of video of Aussies who didn't know shit about most of the planet or even Australia.
im surprised they can even breath let a long speak. Terrorists don't hate America because they are jealous of its freedom they just really hate dumb shits.
i think the point is that we know the answers to those questions, answering them here isn't proving anything (unless you get it wrong, when it's mildly entertaining)
This is so ridiculous. Most Americans would be able to answer those questions.
I hate it that when I travel out of the US now, the people in other countries automatically have an opinion on me based on my nationality. They think: "You're an American, so you must be this or that." Not all of them think this way, but it's become such a trend that Americans, as much as it's silly to say, are being discriminated against.
hey, you just seem to pop up wherever I go on youtube! lol
If you come to UK, I think that if you come from somewhere like Texas, you will be mocked, and assumed to be stupid. But if it's somewhere like New York, I think most people would be intrigued, and also more respectful.
However, I hear that Americans are the most friendly people, whenever Brits go to the US. It seems a bit poor that we can't return the hospitality.
Hehe, I like the fact that this vid is getting a level of discussion. Of course it was edited for the purposes of humour. These guys don't focus on American bashing. It was just a one off comedy clip for our enjoyment here in Australia. Run on our government sponsored TV station (The ABC). I.e. our taxes pay for it. They have a joke about everyone. Only once have they poked fun at the US ;)
How many Eiffel towers are there in Paris? ONE. ONLY ONE. There aren't ten Eiffel towers! I'd feel sorry for Alexandre Gustave Eiffel if he had ever built 10 Eiffel Towers.
What is Al Quaeda? A terrorist group in the Middle East.
Where was the Berlin Wall? Located between West and East Germany--built to prevent East Germans from escaping to West Germany. It was removed in 1989.
Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon.
What is a mosque? A place where Muslims do their worshipping?
How many kidneys does a person have? Two. However, a human can survive with only one kidney if their other kidney is severely damaged, but if both kidneys are damaged, that person is a goner, unless they get a kidney donor.
Dictator in Cuba. The American government were the ones who appointed him in the first place because they thought he'd be good for Cuba, but of course, they made a huge mistake.
7. How many sides does a triangle have?
3 YA MORONS. IT'S A SQUARE, RHOMBUS, PARALLELOGRAM, RECTANGLE, OR ANY QUADRILATERALS THAT HAVE FOUR SIDES. D<
As much as I would love to say this video had me laughing, I think I am scared that there are so many stupid ignorent people. America does not run the world. It is not the greatest country in the world. This video shows ignorance. I sit here watching and I could answer each one of those questions. I failed geography yet I can tell you were countries are located. How fucking hard is it to know the where abouts of other countries? Isnt that taught in schools?
Ok, this is pretty funny, indeed. But there's no reason for so much hate on this forum. This was not an accurate representation of American folk. It was really funny, and played well to the tune of a popular stereotype, but it's not real.
Hey, I'm an American, and I know almost everything that the reporter in this video said. I practically cried when these idiotic Americans were answering them wrong.
This is not meant to be an American bashing exercise. It is only meant to be a bit of fun. We all like to laugh at ourselves including Aussies. And like in this video, Australia has exactly the same sort of ignorance and naivity as displayed in this clip. It is the same for each and every country of this planet. World travelling Aussies love every country and culture including the US. If we were to judge Americans and ourselves simply by our uneducated masses we would appear just as dumb too ;)
fuck the yanks.. they have no clue at all i have been there and this is the general populations view they have no world news they only live and breath there fucking flag not knowing that over time they are being brainwashed... kill them all i say..
i think the OTHER religion the americans know other than them is Islam. wow. there's plenty of other religions in this world like budhism, hindu, judism, sikh etc. wow. no wonder islam is the most fastest growing religion in the world.
haha quality. i hope people realise this was heavily edited though, they were all real people but definetely do not represent the majority. North korea is alot bigger than south korea lol. Dont take offense USA, its all good fun, aussies still love you.
I find it very amusing that American people feel its ok to ridicule and condescend all other people of different countries and cultures. Including their own American citizens that may have immigrated to the US even generations earlier.
But when someone outside of the US looks at them in the same condescending way. They suddenly become extremely over sensitive, lol. e.g. Anti-Americanism,hehehe.
Next they will be likening 911 to the Holocaust,lol. I mean its like dealing with spoilt children.
One of my favourite Chaser clips. I Also find it amusing how ppl are getting upset over this. "Fuels anti-Americanism"? hahahahaha It's a skit, dummy. It's funny. No, it's not - it's HILARIOUS. Get over it.
I'd like to think that this segment took tonnes of editing cos they had lots and lots of people get answers right...but im not convinced...halarious...
especially not realising that it was in fact Australia...not Nth Korea of France... haha so much for the US being the world super power...
fingers crossed that this was edited...otherwise we're doomed hahahah
this video is stupid. You know they found plenty of people that could answer these questions and just didn't show them. I guarantee most Americans know how many sides there are to a triangle. ;\
This video is not stupid-the chaser boys rule! Dont think that it is meant to be taken as unedited fact because it isn't-pure and simple. Yeh ofcourse they found heaps of people that could answer the questions, alarms bells would be ringing if they couldn't, it is just for entertainment purposes and OK probably to sling some sh!t at the yanks too!
Yeah it fuels the anti-Americanism that has spread like wildfire all over the world especially since the beginning of Bush's Administration.
People take this seriously. They think it's "funny" and "sad."
I think most people are morons, but not just in the US... all over the damn world. Still, I would say most people in industrialized nations know how many sides there are on a fucking triangle. The video really just breeds hate, which we don't need right now.
Regardless of whether or not the goal of this video is to make people think all Americans are stupid, the issue is that a lot of people see videos like this and reach that conclusion. We could do this in every country in the world and get the same results.

Of course the US people aren't stupid overall.
I can tell now as I watch NASA live and the current Shuttle launch.
Its not possible for stupid people to do that stuff :D
You should see some of the rtards we have living here in Oz, lol.
All countries have their dumbasses relative to their populations sizes.
