Are you smarter than a 5th grader? (First $1,000,000 winner)

[Daveyboi1981]

Aww bless her she seems like a genuinely nice person, always nice for a nice person to win :D

[lemonrain13]

THANK THE FUCKING LORD.

[BestUserNameEver216]

She seems like a very deserving person to earn this million!!!

[jettitan98]

I'm in 8th grade and I was watching this show one and the contestant picked 4th grade World History and the question was Who was the chairman of the Chinese Republic in 1949...I MEAN WHO EXPECTS A 4TH GRADER TO KNOW THAT...SOME OF THE QUESTIONS ARE REDICIOUSLY STUPID FOR THE CATAGORY THEY PUT THEM IN

[JYSomething]

@jettitan98 Chairman Mao

[Eddy9412]

@jettitan98 That question isn't hard, if you know even a tiny bit about modern Chinese history you will know that it's Chairman Mao.

[thecrtteam]

They probably taught this in school but, no one really remembers this. However, I did know one of the million dollar questions in, guess what, 5th grade.

[notbobby125]

It took YEARS for anyone to get the million and the right to say they are smarter than a group of fifth graders.

That isn't a good thing.

[JmariolinkJ]

@notbobby125 Here's the irony. Many of those questions asked were never answered via elementary school education. I didn't learn English Royal History, for example, until middle school.

[kshalloran]

I'm a junior in college and I probably would only get maybe 8-9 questions right

[mooveez4U]

This show is so shitty. All the questions are easy as fuck up until

1) you have no lifelines left

or

2) You're on the million dollar question

Seriously, I'm in 9th grade and we only touched on this subject. I don't recall being taught who the longest reigning monarch is. On what fucking planet do elementary schoolers learn who the longest reigning monarch is?!?!?

[devp1991]

@mooveez4U probably in England

[tonymarchandstudios]

I like the celebrity ones where the celebrities can't answer any of the questions correctly. The reason why I like those is because it answered the question I had while learning the crap I did in 5th grade "why do I need to know this"? And those celebrity millionaires proved I didn't.

[shifferrob]

i'm in AP European History and i didn't know the longest monarch

[n071482]

im in college and i cant answer most of these questions

[ghksgmlk23]

this remind me of "national treasure" puzzle solving moment

[MrIphoneipodipad]

Skip the crap and go to 4:25 Thumbs up so everyone can see

[928rsmith]

more fitting name: Are you smarter than a college grad student? cause honostly, you can teach us all you want, no one will rember who the fuck the longest reigning monarch

[JJlaker24]

why isnt the millon dollar winner on any gameshow smoking hot ? -__-

[HeftysBags]

@JJlaker24 Because most of all the smoking hot contestants are dumb as rocks.

[Molund]

Stop complaining about taxes, it's free money.

[Lostkiwi123]

daim that was easy for one million

[JayLFRodger]

In Australia any prize winnings are tax free, unless they are an expected income (which would also indicate fraud).

[MeitanteiHiryuu]

... wow that was easy. <_< wth.

[crazymuthafucka14]

HOW ABOUT THAT! lol

[primat91]

Is she a 5th grader teacher?

[luapslev5826]

@primat91 no she a superintendent for public schools in Georgia

[KidFromFuture2608]

well then if being ugly wins me a million bucks i'd rather be one.

[adventururer]

I told you,ugly girls are all smart

Because they're ugly and nobody wants to pound their swamp-like vaginas

[MrCoReY5000]

@adventururer ? And look were the ugly 1 gets 1 million dollers while your on youtube hating on a woman who prolly is livin the dream (Still)

[panzerkilla]

I'm sure she won a few million from the corporations that lobbied for the failed Ga Math curriculum that was a sheer fucking waste of my 4 years in hs.

[EMIR72CC]

ehh we meet again 240p

[luckysevens1000]

when i was in 5th grade we learned about colors

[TheDace0123]

Even the fifth grade teachers couldn't do that. 

[chargersfan1111]

What kinda 5th graders can answer these questions?! I know college kids that have trouble with the 2nd grade questions...

[D4rkSworD]

@chargersfan1111 yea jeez... these kids must be little ensteins god... i cant even answer one of those questions just by myself and ill be getting a national diploma in IT soon...

[chrisstevensjunior]

@chargersfan1111 when you learn the hardest stuff you forget the easiest stuff

[b74k3]

put Bristol Palin on there...ratings will go through the roof

[kman985]

check her ears, she might have had a headset with someone on the other end telling her the answers, you never know :p

[maggosh]

@kman985 Or better yet, a contestant nearby coughing as she goes over the answers. :P

[vjm3]

@ArmyWithinMe : What makes you say that?

[Luv2Blovd13]

im in 8th grade and i cant answer most of the freggin questions asked on this show

[TheTimpa92]

@Luv2Blovd13 well, i guess u're not smarter than a 5th grader then:)

[HamoshtheGreat]

@Luv2Blovd13 I know right?

[CarriLeYeaaaaah]

@Luv2Blovd13 8th grader? I'm a fricken 10 grader and I don't know this!

[th3flash23]

[henryaugust98]

@Luv2Blovd13 lol same here

[StasMskyy]

@Luv2Blovd13 maybe you should do better in school

[Luv2Blovd13]

@StasMskyy You're right. I am only on the high honor role. And I will be getting a scholar ship. So yeah. I should do way better in school. Thank you for giving me advise.

[JYSomething]

@Luv2Blovd13 advice. Advise is the verb where advice is the noun.

[Luv2Blovd13]

@JYSomething I'm sorry. Thank you for correcting me.

[moviecritic6]

@Luv2Blovd13 Haha I know I never learned any of this in school. Most of this stuff I found out on the internet.

[YourMomBeats]

Ya dude really HD.



[lojosol]

4:47 Jeff just sounds so redneck when he says "how about that!"

[BBQPeanut]

Now if youwere Canadian, there wouldn't be any taxes.

[dabbad445]

finaly some retard is smarter then a 5th grader

[bozzi1888]

@orangey367 yeah that might be you, and your still as ugly as you were then...

[orangey367]

Im phamous!

[matagorda5]

1st: Queen Victoria

2nd: Queen Elizabeth I

3rd: King Henry VIII

[tomreves28]

isnt it too easy question for one million?

[archerce]

i knew that smartars

[KamikazeProd]

as if theres a elementary schooler who knows that

[TheKrispyer]

lol its hard not to know this here in britain

[Drjusmar]

Lol. I am in World History Ap, A college level course and I haven't learned that.

Also Foxworthy is a total douche for building tension like that.

[mattisawesome77]

@Drjusmar Shit, I'm in college and didn't learn anything about Britain.

[Drjusmar]

Lol. I am in World History Ap, A college level course and I haven't learned that.

[xxsolidsnake937xx]

lol at the girl at 4:59 rehearsed much XD

[karil451]

I swear, the questions on this show aren't 5th grade level. My mom thinks i'm stupid since I'm in the 9th grade and can't answer these supposedly 5th grade questions.

[peepo2399]

First and last ._.

[CodWaW32]

i like how there was no confetti =.="

[JayMaztaz]

She came.

[LarsAKApotet]

Why are the kids smiling? they didnt win a shitt! LOL

[CalvinAndMatt]

@LarsAKApotet yeah but their still getting paid to be on the show

[J3ofHearts]

@CalvinAndMatt they're

guess you are not smarter than a 5th grader

[Danro05]

queen victoria ftw

[albinodruid]

So what did the actuall fifth graders answer?

[links212]

She never talked about George III. He ranks up there right?

[Wc3ProElimZ]

Then taxes kicked in and she left with 400$. Woot.

[javius1220]

@Wc3ProElimZ more like $275,000. Woot Woot! fuckin crooks

[PflGlace]

@Wc3ProElimZ More like 670k.

[scottybbadd]

@Wc3ProElimZ If that.

[sumotaby]

@Wc3ProElimZ After taxes and being raised to to a higher tax bracket....yep, that sounds about right. Damn government.

[Wc3ProElimZ]

@sumotaby haha.

[Tekkenman101]

@Wc3ProElimZ it's actually more like 500+ million, but who cares about math right?

[Captainbob25202000]

@Wc3ProElimZ depends she probably left with 500k-600k

[lionslicer9999]

@Captainbob25202000 depends on how she takes the money. If you take the winnings all at once, they'll tax the shit out of you, but if you make a payment plan over a certain amount of years, they wont. If she left with the money asap, she'd have about 600k. But payment plan, anywhere between 700-750k. But that's over a number a years and they do this to keep people as working parts of society and not just sit on their money wasting resources.

[maggosh]

@Wc3ProElimZ Oh, you Americans and your taxes. ;)

[Wc3ProElimZ]

@maggosh I'm Canadian :)

[yaaaargmatey]

@Wc3ProElimZ lol, can't live life without uncle sam dipping his fingers into your pockets

[dfghj241]

who the fuck isn't smarter than a stupid 5th grader

[sprsnc20]

@dfghj241 Apparently 99% of the contestants on this show. They must be rednecks. . .

[dfghj241]

@sprsnc20 lol, thats right!

[TheJamesgordon43]

@sprsnc20 No, they're just stupid.

[bronzeownsu]

@dfghj241 you

[dfghj241]

@bronzeownsu lol!

[SUPADUPACOOPA]

I am in AP World History and this is was really fuzzy even with me. No 5th grader knows this.

[theshow2k8]

Can't the Americans come up with their own shows? they steal British shows,keep the name and don't add anything new!

[TheSirthomas77]

@theshow2k8 stfu you racist dick.

[TheJamesgordon43]

@TheSirthomas77 Wow... you're wacky

[ChicagoFan32]

@theshow2k8 Why are there comments like your's, always bitching about stuff America does. Can you please find something better to do with your life. Spending your time bitching about stuff on youtube, now how does that reflect upon your country which you seem to be so proud of? It makes you look like an idiot.

[VLaVey]

@theshow2k8 Everyone steals a little from everyone dude lol. its not only americans, our friends the british prolly have there own share of stolen things even if its stolen from there own country rather then another. So don't make it look like "americans" can't be creative. were all the same.

[M1K3YM0]

@theshow2k8 Someone seems a little butthurt from the war of 1812. You can take your shitty idol shows back and we'll take automobiles back. Actually, that might suck because then I wouldn't be able to watch Top Gear. :(

[1celebslideshows]

Im so happy for her :) she's the kind of person that deserves it

[coolcal10000]

Why is every show on British T.V on American T.V (Deal or no deal,Who wants to be a millionaire,The price is right and also ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[bkiger13]

actually she would be just as smart as a fifth grader. just sayin...

[PeerPressurex10]

TAH TAH TAH TODAY JUNIOR

[DustinTROM]

Seriously, in NO grade do we learn ANYTHING about Britain. This show is bullshit.

[SafeCracker18]

@DustinTROM i think thats funny, most of the crap they have learned before 5th grade, i didnt learn untill i was almost in high school

[bakesman81]

i knew that the first second he asked lol im such a nerd.

[GhestrahMeow]

The host of the show reminds me of Tom Hanks

I don't know why :L

[FilipinoD4Life]

@yerfdog1935 if you don't learn this stuff at one point in time, then your school isn't following their curriculum.

[victimofsleep]

First winner is a teacher. Well, that should be the way it is, isn't it?

[ff2paladin]

@victimofsleep

I like the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire way better: IRS auditor

[victimofsleep]

@ff2paladin Haha, I've seen that! He was amazing!

[ZAVGreviews]

i remembered when they played like this, but i like the new way better i think

[boogioogigoof]

I saw this episode! That took like 4 years or something.

[dannyd534]

a british monarch? i dont even fucking know what that is theres no way these kids do

[MrCnegcneg]

@dannyd534 Dumb fuck.

[roverdude2010]

@dannyd534 a british monarch is the king or queen of england! wow, that is the easy part of the question.

[xlDenny]

HOW BOUT THAT

[Havenscope]

If you actually went to a school in Georgia, you wouldn't want Cathy Cox to win shit.

[livvidd]

All of this was staged right? like wrestling is, yes?

[doorstogo123]

@livvidd Hell no this isnt stasged rofl.

[jwjhtc]

she looks like my english teacher...

[thunderhayes]

You can tell that Jeff Foxworthy took an extreme pride in having the former state superintendent from Georgia win a million.

Not all Georgians are dumb rednecks, some are smart rednecks. (Actually, I'm from Georgia, and I do not call myself "redneck," I personally dislike the term)

[adamwasiak]

is she dressed like a hippo for halloween ?

[chargersfan6194eva]

She's gonna get plastic sugery!! ALL OVER HER FACE

[fluffywolf08]

I knew it!

[MsPurpleGirl23]

and this is still the only country where being smarter than a fifth grader is an accomplishment... yay america! lol

[Valerian1993]

watch them make are you smarter than a 6th grader LOl

[agmagicman59]

sounds like she is having an orgasm

[dsass600]

the kids are like hugging eachother haha

[duddo07]

ha i learned this stuff when i was in high school,and even the smartest kid in class didn't know that kind of stuff.

[NotToooShabby]

I swear these questions are NOT 5th grade questions. More like High school - College.

[jasondotseselenafan]

2:48 "he got too fat and he died"

HAHAHAHAHHA thats funny...

[delldell50]

''That's my state school superintendent!'' He probably fed her the answer during the commercial.

[McLolzable]

"He got to fat ... he died". Yea and you're next 

[spoilingbrat]

a million dollar fatter

[haycm001]

[thebourneman]

[iweywrt]

[CityGirl2699]

@mary1266latina

FYI, I do pay attention :P

Trust me, my teacher never taught that to the class. :/

[Jjarthon]

Since when is British monarchs part of the elementary curriculum? I didn't learn anything regarding the British history not in America until sophomore year of high school in advance placement European history.

[VancouverMan19]

thats so stupid shouldnt every adult who went to school be smarter than a fifth grader??? o.O

[TheSmellyArse]

is that an accomplishment that she is smarter than a fifth grader?

[1soniccool]

in the UK this show is the same but the title is diffrent

[CarpMagic95]

@1soniccool Yeah it should be are you smarter than a P.E teacher, to make it a little easier for people.

[seop65]

lol shes a teacher thats fair =(

[scerpalman1]

my favourite bit was when she said "queen victoria"

[patsfan9527]

HAHAHA JK it was king Henry 8

[CityGirl2699]

Shit, I'm in 7th grade and never heard that kind of shit before!

[mary1622latina]

@CityGirl2699 may u haven't pay enought attention, check in ur history book

[CityGirl2699]

WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?!?!?!

[KOOLCAT904]

DUDE DO U EVER WONDER LIKE THESE SHOWS ARE LIKE WHEN THERE TALKING IT OUT DECIDING WHICH IS THE BEST ANSWER THEYRE LIKE THE OTHER ONE PICK THE OTHER ONE LOL

[FilipinoD4Life]

Eh.. It's elementary school level. It's just so specific that it's the stuff you forget.

[yerfdog1935]

@FilipinoD4Life And some of the stuff you aren't taught at some schools. >.>

[MrElculver2424]

@FilipinoD4Life Not all of it. I'm in 9th grade and we didn't even learn about anything in Britain until 8th grade. And I didn't know who the answer to this million dollar question - I never learned it.

[l14mh3nr9]

Peice of piss question, though it's unsurprising that she and many other yanks in this comment section struggled - they don't teach anything not related to America in American schools. Have to LOL at the presenter's pronunciation as well... "larngest reigning Brillish marnark"

[DoubleGlog]

Look at the kids looking up curiously after she said : "What he did with his wives".

[gicandg71]

No 5th Grade could know this answers!!!

[cheezilius]

monarrrrrrrch wtf? fucking stupid americans

[CENSOREDFORSEX]

My little sister is in elementary school and she does easy stuff like times tables not quantum physics like this show has.

[OpaleyedWolf]

wtf? thats an obvious one, why is everyone saying its so hard?? i learnt this back in primary school - and talk about milking it for all its worth

[DeathDispenser]

@OpaleyedWolf

you "learnt"?

apparently not >.>

[OpaleyedWolf]

@DeathDispenser you're American, I'm Australian - we use 'learnt'

[AJG22PHILS]

Half of the questions on this show are things that if a 5th grader knows, they need to be in college cuz you don't learn things like biology or algebra until high school

[Ayesopp]

5th grade question my ass.

[TheDavodude]

4:20 if I was there that would be me

Ooooh she lost

[RUsssssSSsssssO]

what is the square root of pie backwards.........
