  • e Gallia Euro.

  • Government scholis nudum asino.

  • I have a friend who tried to qualified for this game, but he was refused because he didn't know that 1+1=3.

  • I thank you all for the sincere admiration you vow to this marvelous man who illustrates so well the supreme intelligence of our people; blessed he be!

  • pfft. dumbasses

  • The earth orbits the sun, like his wife orbits my dick!

  • lol i bet a five year old could answer this

  • The fact is, this program is on the first TV channel, which is our equivalent to Fox news (therefore, retards, retards, and more retards) ... So you couldn't expect anything smart from that.

  • Would have been better by eliminating most (but not all) the pop-ups and ALL the not very creative commentary.

  • This isn't even funny. It just made me really sad. These are people who run society. They're a part of making things work. Our existance relies on idiots.

  • @bleunt they're the French.  they don't run society. they only make Citroens and some cheese. thankfully all of the English-speaking world can live without either. :P

  • Here is an interesting explanation is at the "sociological images" website.

  • I think the audience was trying to fool him. Mars and Venus were never thought to have orbited the earth, but the sun had been (although that was a long time ago). Based on that, I think it's definitely possible that the audience was trying to mislead him because they thought he was too stupid to deserve to win.

  • I don't buy the audience trolling him. if theyre trolling him, why did they all pick the sun? why not venus or mars? It's clear that the audience was just as confused by the question as he was. I don't know much about france, but perhaps astronomy isn't a huge deal there like it is here, as they have no real space program or nationalistic ties to space like America does. It's probably taught in their schools, just not absorbed strongly like space shit is in america to be second knowledge.

  • @nerfmyaccount

    Some voted for Mars or Venus; but I think that most voted for the sun because they thought that, though the guy is far from being brilliant, he would not have bought it (since we don't see Mars or Venus orbit the earth); so they voted for something that the guy might think it was right in order to effectively mislead him.

  • @hunchbacked Well I can't say I'm at all familiar with the culture of the show. If it's an established ritual to try hard to mislead someone if they can't answer an obvious question, then I guess that makes sense. But on the other hand if it's just a free for all "wow what an idiot, im not going to give him the answer" I don't see why a good portion wouldn't just toss out mars and venus. I certainly would have. "You're so dumb, here's an answer as dumb as you" being my logic.

  • @nerfmyaccount

    Giving Mars or Venus would not have worked, it had to be an answer he could believe in.

  • @nerfmyaccount

    It's like the video with Kellie Pickler with the question "What country is Budapest the capital of"; it is supposed to show her as stupid, but she is not; she just plays stupid, but she is not, she makes humorous remarks like "I'm listening to what you are saying but I only hear what I want to"; she plays, she is smart.

    If you take her at the first degree, she might look stupid, but she is not.

  • ha ha ha that was funny tks, just goes to show there are dumb asses everywhere lmao

  • This was just one of France Stupid Moment. FYI all nations has their stupid moments.

  • So*

  • Oh dear, Americans thinking this proves the 'French are more stupid than them' are do thick! Of course the audience know its the moon, the whole world knows its the moon, except that guy who doesn't deserve to win. They were trolling him.

    Though I guess maybe it could just all be the result of our socialist European healthcare rotting all our minds :p

  • @benallen9

    Wrong. Stupid people are everywhere, i suggest you get used to that fact.

  • audience=master trolls

  • Damn french people... Give us all of your croisants and move to moon. You are a shame to humanity.

  • @andybirger

    We love being the shame of humanity, somebody has to be the shame of humanity, and it fell on us, we are proud to have this honor of being the shame of humanity.

  • "Viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinus"

  • Must've gone to a religious school.

  • I laughed if he Said: The MOOOWWWN :D

  • Shame on France

  • This is funny as shit! I guess the nun from the Catholic school he came from lied during science class.

  • Merde!

  • I think the French proved that Americans are smart...

  • @gole311 I wouldn't exaggerate that much by considering I've just watched the "Americans are NOT stupid" video, but I have to admit this is not very flattering for French people, yep.

  • @Leex18th The "Americans are NOT Stupid" is not a fair representation of Americans, you can go to any country in the world and produce the same type of video. You just have to interview tons of people and then cherry pick the dumbest answers.

    Someone created a mock video done in Britain to prove just that point.

  • @itdoell Actually, Americans ARE stupid. Interviewing and cherry picking people doesn't prove or disprove anything.

  • Comment removed

  • @itdoell I know it. I doubt they're not all like that. But still, you can't deny it's very specific to Americans to don't much about the rest of the World. I don't only judge them thanks to the video. I've got an American people (a very smart person, btw) and she just told me the same. She finds people ignorant etc, so yeah.

    But I've never been in the U.S, I can't say. I can only say what I heard (stereotypes), and what an American told me. 

  • @itdoell Sadly irony and sarcasm are elements of language not taught to American children so your comment in invalid.

  • @JoostShino That's the dumbest statement I've heard all week...

  • @itdoell That is very unlikely if you are an American.

  • @JoostShino lol, that actually made me laugh only because of how corny it was. Kudos.

  • @JoostShino

    Stupid people are evrywhere, it's so funny to see non-Americans come to terms with that fact.

  • @JohnQRandom You are wrong. The evidence is there.

  • @JoostShino

    The only "evidence" here is that stupid people are all over the world. It's simply that Europeans (French in the is case) are too proud to admit it. If it was such a popular thing to give wrong answers on this show, then this man NEVER would have asked for their advice in the first place. Sorry, but this video used to be posted up 6 or 7 times, but evidently in order to save France's good name this is the only one up.

    Being called stupid isn't too much fun, is it.

  • @JohnQRandom Actually, you are wrong again. You aren't to bright, are you?

  • @JoostShino

    Sorry guy, suck it up. There are stupid people everywhere, and just like this French audience (and this french contestant) you're a prime example. You were saying something about not being too bright?

  • @JohnQRandom I hope you can see the irony of your continues comments versus arguing on Youtube over who is stupid and who is not.

  • @JoostShino

    Well it takes two to tango. In any case, I believe stupid people are everywhere (as seen in this video), and evidently you don't. Let's just agree to disagree.

  • @JohnQRandom You are wrong.

  • Sorry guy, but if you honestly don't think stupid people are everywhere then you are stupider than the contestant and the audience in this video. You are proving it with your ignorance and "inferiority complex." To further prove my point, take a video camera and walk around anywhere France asking people random questions about *BASIC* geography, history, math, science etc. Edit out all the correct answers, leave in only the wrong ones, then upload it on youtube under "Stupid French People." ;)

  • @JohnQRandom Dear John, all this time I have not given a single fuck about this subject. You have to be really stupid to think one nation is smart then another. Thank you for entertaining me.

  • @JoostShino

    Wrong asshole, and fuck you. I NEVER said one nation is stupider than the other, I said stupid people are everywhere. If anyone is guilty of saying entire nations are stupid it's Europeans who do that.

  • @JohnQRandom Ok, this is getting sad. Dont turn the roles around please, you are the ignorant one. You think you are superior, but im sure one day you will grow up.

  • @JoostShino

    Look back at our exchange. The argument is this:

    You: "This was set up. The audience did it on purpose to throw the contestant off because in France, it's popular and funny to do that."

    Me: "This was not set up, and it simply proves stupid people are everywhere, all over the world."

    There is nothing biased about my statement, nor do I think I, or the U.S. is superior to anyone.

  • @JohnQRandom I think you have a problem with readin.

  • @JoostShino

    Whatever you say. (have a look at our exchange.)

  • @JohnQRandom Right back at you.

  • Comment removed

  • @JohnQRandom

    I am going to tell you a secret: We french claim to be very intelligent, but in fact we are extremely stupid, we just pretend to be intelligent (and some buy it).

    But in fact what counts is not be really intelligent but to BELIEVE you are intelligent, that's the whole point; trust me, this the secret of happiness, the holy graal.

    I think it's better to be stupid and believe you are intelligent than the converse, don't you think so?

  • Lol Will from Inbetweeners

  • And the french talk shit about Americans being dumb jesus fucking christ. Shoot me now because this planet and the people on it are TARDS

  • @sopark4000 tell me a bit about the string theory...if you are that smart, you can answer my question without checking on wikipedia. I'm french btw

  • @franky1636 If he's smart, he would've realized YOU looked it up on wikipedia before replying and completely ignore you. hurrrrr I'm french btw too

  • Also REMEMBER WHEN AN ELEPHANT WAS LARGER THAN THE MOON EH

  • Your accent makes the video even better. Even if the annotations are completely random.

  • Imbécile!

  • At least, on the bright side, he still got a hot chick.

  • You gotta give the people some slack from thinking its the sun... They probably think, that because it gets night, day, and night again its probably because the sun orbits the earth.... You can kinda imagine how they would get that one wrong..

  • @Giesji We don't have to give them ANY slack. Sure that's what people thought 500 YEARS AGO. This Earth oribits the Sun thing was figured out centuries ago. Good Christ...

  • @Dayoldsushy You don't get my point.. unless you are one of those arrogant bastards that think its okay to judge anyone who knows less than you do to be stupid retards.

    But obviously you aren't able to imagine how and where an answer like this went wrong.. It doesn't have the slightest to do with when science figured this out, you are just not getting my point...

  • @Giesji what exactly is your point? It's 2011 and this is in France, a major developed country in western europe, not some remote, tribal population. Everyone in that situation should know the basics of the solar system and I think most everyone in france would agree with that.

  • @Giesji Oh no I get the point.

    No excuse.

  • You know what's even more stupid? The fact that most of you guys think that if ONE french was stupid, than, ALL French people are too.

  • @themostbeatifull

    You know what's as stupid as that? The fact that most non-Americans think that if ONE American is stupid, then ALL Americans are too.

    (Now you know how Americans feel. Not too much fun is it)

  • Even the audience thought so.

    And us Americans are stupid?

  • @blablabla313313 Lets not forget the 2% that thought it was mars.

  • @p00pynuggeteer They have the IQs of French fries :)

  • 1 French = all France ?

    Yes you are really stupid.

  • @MangeurDeSpaghetti

    Agreed, but now you know what Americans feel like when we're stereotyped.

  • fuck the french must be stupid as shit wtf?

  • The guy is not that good looking, obviously stupid...and yet he gets a babe like that? I'm moving to France.

  • France isn't good for anything

  • Damn right it's the sun, idiot...

  • Painful. Just Painful.

    Shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.

  • Fucking idiot

  • It wasn't Venus?

  • Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!

  • HE is dump but i think he was thinking about if what the earht orbit on

    

  • believe me not just the French people, mostly of the European people think that just because the fact of being born in Europe they are born cult and inteligent but ANY EUROPEAN KNEW THAT IN BRAZIL PEOPLE SPEAK PORTUGUESE OR THAT CUBA IS AN ISLAND OR WHAT IS THE PANAMA CANAL OR EVEN THAT CHINA, KOREA AND JAPAN ARE THREE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, I´m from Mexico and I lived in Germany for a year and believe me most of european people don´t know the meaning of General Culture

  • @Kikeo33 Kind Sir, I was born "cult" and now plan on starting my own cult. We will perhaps worship the gods of spelling and grammar. Despite the fact that I was born "cult", I remain ignorant of this thing you call "General Culture". Is it the opposite of "Specific Culture", in which one has a firm grasp of such concepts as Mexican/Germanic relations, or does it refer to the apparent superiority Mexicans feel whilst travelling through Germany? Dear learned one, please enlighten me!

  • @unkiemonk I never said Germans, Iheard those comments in France, Netherlands, Italy, Spain also Germany, England and Belgium, I am not saying "Germans" I´m trying to say that europeans are too proud to let themselves learn a little bit

  • Ok im sorry but thats just fucking retarded. Seriously, even my niece who is 5 knows that.

    It really does make me lose hope in the human race.

    It wouldn't have been as bad if it was just him, but the fact more than half the audience thought it was the sun...

    Wow, just wow thats all i can say.

  • Eurofags derping it.

  • the audience played a trick on that frog

  • It;s so hard to know for sure...some people think the french simply don't know any astronomy and thus are ignorant about basic knowledge...other's that france's intellectual superiority caused him to troll this guy...so hard for an outsider to be sure, yet there's a definite answer. Kind of bothers me lol.

  • Holy Shit I thought this was a joke hahahaha!!! No offence to the french of course;) And that girl is really beautiful =)

  • @KarasSoryal im sorry they blackmailed you for those compliments.

    I'll them in hugs for u.

  • @KarasSoryal pay V

  • The audience is punishing him by intentionally giving him the wrong answer. You can hear the audience laugh at him as he chooses the sun! In France the audience does not help you if they think the question is too easy for you to have to ask for help.

  • @matthewxcountry

    Bullshit. If that was the case then the contestant wouldn't ask for their help. Stupid people are alive and well all over the world, and video is proof of that. As far as a few laughs from the crowd, they were a few of the people who actually KNEW the answer.

  • @matthewxcountry

    If the French audience didn't help, but rather tried to confuse the contestant, then the contestant would not use them as a life line. When the results from the crowd appeared, nobody laughed. Ignorance and stupidity is everywhere asshole.

    So glad you're embarrassed about this. ; )

  • @matthewxcountry

    That's a plausible theory, but the more likely explanation is that the audience are thick as pigshit.

  • @matthewxcountry

    Ive heard this about the UK version too. From what I've gathered, the audience's mindset in Europe is different from that in the USA, where they're always helpful. In the UK, the audience can be mean-spirited and will try to trick the player. (By the way, Im not knocking Europe, America has its faults, we impulsively invade the wrong countries and such.)

  • @matthewxcountry one major flaw in that statement is that there was only 2% on c and 0% on D, if they were intentionally trying to give him the wrong answer there would have been votes on B,C and D, unless of course they all sent each other text messages saying to pick B really quickly

  • Comment removed

  • maybe the audince got confused and thought the question was what does earth orbit around

  • this episode was filmed shortly before scientists discovered that the Sun does not orbit around the Earth

  • @hunchbacked

    Hi again hunch. You are correct. It is all relativity and points of reference. If you use earth as the reference one can say the entire universe revolves around the earth. Use any celestial body and the same thing applies.

    Location! Location! Location!

  • @EGMAG

    The earth could eventually turn on herself so that the sun always lights the same point on earth; from this point one could then think that the sun does not turn around the earth, and neither the earth around the sun, and that the sun and the earth are both perfectly still.

    But it would not be good for the earth this way.

  • The French audience deliberately mislead the guy because they thought he was too stupid to deserve a million bucks. You can hear them scream with laughter when the poor dumbass chose the wrong answer.

  • @encliticcopula

    Wrong. There are stupid people everywhere and they were all laughing at themselves. As if 56% just happened to choose the same answer in order to laugh at him. Give me a fucking break.

  • @JohnQRandom I didn't realize you were the expert on human stupidity. Congratulations on being Official Spokestard For All Of Dumb.

  • @encliticcopula

    At least I'm aware that there are stupid people everywhere. Unlike you, who actually defends this shit when it's a group other than Americans. Now imgaine a greater effort being made world wide to show how narrow people are on global scale.

  • Explains why there are alot of Christians out there

  • @Pomaori

    More like "stupidity" is everywhere. (asshole)

  • @JohnQRandom Well my point is that there are some people who have little scientific knowledge of the universe, leading to people believing that the world is six thousand years old etc. (cunt face cock sucker faggot)

  • @Pomaori

    Everyone has very little knowledge of the universe, not just "Americans" dumb ass. Also, this video is about stupid FRENCH people so take some responsibility. :)

  • @JohnQRandom What the fuck are you talking about ? it appears you have a reading problem and are a little confused. You are replying to the wrong person Einstein. I never wrote anything about american stupidity, in fact stupidity is pretty universal. You are universally stupid- i think your stupidity would be recognized in any part of this universe. What a dumb ass, attempting to create and argument by conjuring up words and thoughts that i have never said ahahahahaha FAIL TROLL FAIL

  • Mwahahahahaha, what a shame ^^

    Morceaux de honte quand même ^^

  • 2% mars lol

  • 56% of the audience was taking the piss, lol

  • Are you kidding me......DIFFERENT AUDIENCE PLZ! lol

  • French are winos, not astronomers. If the question had been, "What wine is your favorite" he would have answered correctly.

  • lmao.  Copernicus and Galileo are rolling in their grave!

  • lol the narrator of this video is funny.

  • I wonder if the audience is out there to fuck people over sometimes.

  • Maybe some heard it as "what does the Earth orbit?"

  • ...the hell? Who dubbed this?

  • this isn't the frickin' rennaisance. -.-

  • Trolling Audience. But hes a idiot anyway.

  • the audience chose "Sun" on propose to kick the stupid out

  • holy fuck Copernicus and Galileo settled this one like 400 years ago. I can understand one fucktard not knowing but 58%?????????

  • @ShatteredMercury they did it on purpose

  • its not 56% of the audiance think the sun orbits around the earth, its just 58% (+2% for Mars) of the audiance are trolls.

  • Yeah and the French call Americans stupid.

  • @derekismature

    Looks like American culture is everywhere :p

  • @derekismature Nope the world does

  • Comment removed

  • @Gradhub I feel that most humans are stupid. I believe we set the bar quite low.

  • You speak French? That's so sexy! :)

  • hilarious annotations

  • Looks like the US has some competition for the worst educational system on Earth.

  • 56% of the audience are laughing their asses off that they screwed this guy out of the answer XD

  • That audience are the best trolls ever.

  • the correct answer is superman, they got it wrong

  • Everyone knows the sun orbits the earth, and the earth orbits America! (FUCK YEAH)!

  • vvvpeeeniiss

  • What's even worse than that is that I saw 67 dislikes and thought that was the percentage wrong!! (although you know some of those people only guessed the moon)

  • What's even worse, is that 67% of that audience thought the sun orbits the earth!!

  • Ask people: 1) Does the sun orbit the earth or does the earth orbit the sun? 2) Is the sun the largest star in the galaxy? 3) What causes the change of the seasons? About 55% of people get the first two wrong and about 95% get the third one wrong.

  • Well.... the Europeans were the ones who thought the world was flat so i did expect this from them.

  • @narutofanxy

    Eratosthenes knew the world was round, and had a pretty good stab at measuring the circumference around 200 BC. He was a greek, you know. From Greece. Which is in Europe.

  • @llanbo yeah but like maybe 5 knew out of 2 mill

  • @narutofanxy

    Well, no you're wrong again. Anyone who had ever been to sea and noticed that the masts of approaching ships appeared before the hulls did was also aware that the world wasn't flat. It's something of an ignorant myth to claim it was any sort of majority position.

  • @llanbo yeah watever this guy and the half the audience is still a retard

  • @narutofanxy

    How can half the audience be a retard?

  • @llanbo omg were u that half of the audience??? obiously their stupid cuz they thougt the sun orbited the earth

  • @narutofanxy

    No, obviously not, as I have already patiently explained to you about Eratosthenes and corrected your ignorance.

    Once again, how can *HALF* the audience be *A* retard when there are clearly more than two of them? You're not looking too clever here yourself, old thing - "obiously their stupid"?!

  • @llanbo omfg obviously im taliking fucking slang im not a grammar nazi and i know you do understand and ur just acting smart so just stfu yeah i know u keep correcting me but first of all it was a joke you idiot like"this thing have less pixels than a tamateo" second of all this is the fucking internet get a life i log in utube watch a couple of vids and put funny comments thats it i dont spend 2 hours correcting ppl on their mist akes so just stfu

  • @narutofanxy

    OOooOOOOH! Someone sound a little bit cranky! Have you broken a nail, dearie?

  • @llanbo oh wow thats a nice insult dam nigga i swear ur stupid as FUCK dawg

  • @llanbo dammm i just saw ur channel and ur just stupid as fuck everyone hates u u just try to pick arguments im not gonna waste my time with u ur worthless peace bitch

  • @narutofanxy

    My worthless peace bitch? Who would that be?

    Your surrender is accepted.

  • @llanbo get a life stop beeing such an asshole/ smartass, people dont check theyre spelling on youtube cos they dont give a shit about something that meaningless, and it definitely doesnt mean theyre retarded it just means they have more important things to do then spend half their life on youtube, all you're proving with ur comments is that ur the stupid one, im getting really fed up with all u smartasses on youtube always commenting on other peoples comments for this bulshit reason,

  • @phreddy87

    Can you write that again in English, please?

  • @llanbo haha good one, i was in a bad mood kinda went overboard there i admit, and i saw that the other guy u were chatting with was a bit of an idiot afterwards but still thought u were a little bit of a smartass there at the end, but u made sum good points earlier in the conversation

  • why did it take 9 secs for the ppl to respond in america its like 3 or 5 secs

  • was he really swearing? I mean on TV?

  • AND AFTER WE SAY THAT AMERICANS ARE THE MOST DUMBER !!!!

  • you know I was afraid we french we're not normal! but look, we also have very stupid people! yeah! american and french friendship for ever!

  • its a set up cos they knw he doesn't knw the answer i dont believe 56% choose the sun! lol!

  • hahahahahahahaha
