American INTELLIGENCE Test- Try Not to Laugh/蠢美國人

[Pinkpopcornchicken]

@crosshairs2000 same here. I'm in 7th grade and I know these questions.

[Pinkpopcornchicken]

STUPID. I'm 12 and I know almost all the questions the british guys asked. It's not Muslim stupid its ISLAM. educated people? No way. But a lot of Americans are 'intelligent', I am!

[MrTheTomahawk]

Also the main reason we don't know bout the rest of the world is because it doesn't affect our daily lives nearly as bad as most countries. I'm American and in high school and I can answer most of the questions but I can tell you a lot of kids in academic classes that aren't challenged by teachers just don't care. And I'm not good with affect and effect so get over it if I used the wrong one.

[MrTheTomahawk]

I think they just showed the stupid people but there were still way more wrong answers than there would have been in other countries

[Billerica35]

I bet most of the people got it right they just showed the stupid ones

[davis7272]

They found the dumbest people in the world to do that and im in highschool and can answer everyone of those questions

[Crosshairs2000]

@davis7272 i know man im in ms an i know most of them

[129samot]

In not um

[129samot]

The guys think korea is um austrália

[dirklang41]

Theese peeple make al of amarica seem stoopid!!! JK JK

[TheRoolin]

It's just so sad!

[storkofcourse]

I thought this was real until they got to the triangle question.

[LimeyThunder]

This is a bit unfair to America although they do seem the most ignorant, but then theyve no need to know the rest of the world because they dont care what happens as long as american people arent harmed

[xXBruduBXx]

I mean there was TECHNICALLY a world war before WWI happened, so I mean, that one guy can have some points for a decent guess, but I tend to doubt he actually knew that.

This was thoroughly disappointing.

[Sh4d0wQu33n]

...And these people can vote. How scary is that?

[legoboy733]

I knew all the answers and I'm only 11

[dlarue873]

Lol how many kidneys does a person 1 XD

[dlarue873]

Wow he's really in the country I guess

[cheezeblohk]

THIS IS WHY THE OTHER SIDE IS WINNING!

[MiyakoAmaya]

I have no words to describe how sad this is. I am from America.

[scientifico]

This saddens me and yet it reaffirms everything I thought about life across the Hudson River (I live in BROOKLYN baby!)

[DidIDoThat12345]

but i live in america

[DidIDoThat12345]

ok 3:15 " what conturies are in the axesis of evil?" " the guys with the turbans on their head's. i call them diaper heads ..." all of them are wrong because they Asked CONTRIES not states. i am smarter than all these people put together and i am 9!

[cerebralassassin3475]

These people are such failures at life all of those questions are easy to answer...

[NiizoSubstep]

@lljord

Although...

[NiizoSubstep]

I know it's a steriotype for all Americans to be thick and I know that's not true, but I lolled so much to this! "what currency do they use in the UK?" "uuuuuuuum...I dunno! What's the uk?" :D

I lolled at this cus I'm British :)

[muffinpals]

Not every American is dumb we just seem to have people who answer with dumb answers! Lol :)

[Gerardsm101]

This is true that America is the dumbest country but not that dumb GEEZE!!!!

This is true because America has people in school less than all the other countries.

And I bet when you asked the girl how many sides a triangle had, you actually said how many a circle had.

[Lyandsander]

@Gerardsm101 Where do you get these stats? The United States is currently 18th among the 36 industrialized nations and have less people in school cause of other countries? How can there be more people in school in africa if theres hardly any at all?.

[esraretin]

this cant be real !? oh forget it average people are stupid world wide.genius people do everything we are nothing

[hivetyrant36]

Wow... they make me look BAD! lol, I knew the answers to at least 90% of the q's.

[SweetLightSerenity]

This makes me sick. It's unbelievable

[Arian545]

Remember, some of these where caught on the spot and therefor didn't think clearly, stuff like that happend.

And some of this are fucking stupid, i mean ffs Korea aint a country.

But some are hard to know also.

[z3r0lazurr]

Right, because these few unintelligent people represent the ENTIRE United States population -_-

[hivetyrant36]

@z3r0lazurr If the people were picked randomly, then yes, but they probably only looked in a city with a low graduation rate.

[DarkHawkStudios]

What is the united kingdom, seriously, where was the belin wall, guy is baffled , retard @211daytona an American answered the questing, bloody yank @egregiousquacky not all Americans are dumb your not dumb or ignorant from what you just said, these people should have got an education instead of goi on 16 and pregnant or being a redneck who left school early to shoot stuff and get drunk

[VGF001]

I'm in 8th Grade and I can Answer almost all of these questions. And i live In Maryland...

[IrkenInvaderLan]

This makes me sad...

[4xxlittleman]

"What state does KFC come from?" "The chicken idk." "What does it stand for?" Kentucky Fried Chicken" the answer is in the question lol

[boomsnipes]

just shows you that the american public is very stupid and it is not thier fault but thier goverments fault with thier garbage schooling

[hivetyrant36]

@boomsnipes I hate our socialist Gov't

[211daytona]

Idiot, EVERYONE knows ther are 5 sides on a triangle!!!!!!XD

[211daytona]

100% fake NOBODY thinks there's 4 sides on a triangle!!! Bloody australians

[hivetyrant36]

@211daytona lol, you'd be surprised...

[squeemaster479]

They must have interviewed the wrong side of America

[Zyaka22]

This is fake right I belive some ppl think wat they sed is right and I don't no some answers but at least I could educatedly answer some of those had the freaking answer in the question geez! Time for these ppl 2 go back 2 school lol

[MCMCsimulation]

Of course, the answer is to just throw more money at it.

[NuAudioOfficial]

Thank goodness I have dual citizenship and my parents aren't from the US...

[EgregiousQuacky]

This is why I am ashamed to admit to the fact that I am an American. It pleases me that somewhere there is a country with people who are not so self-absorbed that they actually know something.

[ThatStereotype18]

I'm pretty sure some of these answers were taken out of context or as jokes. Like the triangle one and 2:52 sounded very sarcastic to me. Still terrible though.

[theatheistpreacher]

i hate living here

[spencerandtaylorful]

Daaaaaamn wtf? I'm 14, and I know most of these answers.

[ikill4joy]

So some Americans think Australia and Korea is the same thing WTF?

[SydneyRoosters97]

They probably interviewed say, 400 people and took the footage from the 20 that gave the wrong answer. However, even I don't know the answer to some of these questions, but I know the difference between North Korea and South Korea and Australia and Tasmania

[TheHoboUniverse]

Why the hell is everybody pinning countries on Australia? Wtf?

Please tell me this is fake. I'll be honest, I don't know some of these answers, but I at least know how many sides a god damned triangle has.

[ellaalia]

I'm 14 and I know alot more than these people.. sucks to be them.

[TheSpectator47]

@ellaalia exactly the same for me :) lol

[SuperCitrusFruit]

wow *facepalm*



[ZmHpSd]

@MultiAsslover1 exactly how a typical american would answer. LOL you should be one of those peeps in the friggin video. jackass

[shadowlight360]

please tell me this is not for real, riiiiiiiiiight?!

[BeTheAwakened]

the sad part is that I am 19 and know the answer to EVERY question they just asked.

[Illjord]

It's sad but true; many of the common citizens of the United States will respond to this type of question with equally foolish answers. According to the Pew Research Group, out of the 40 most advanced countries of the world, the USA is ranked 39th in quality of education...just ahead of Turkey. If you don't think your typical American is poorly education just consider the grammar and spelling of the typical Comment posted on YouTube.

[duggy678]

@Illjord Where can I get the statistic on the 40 advanced countries education?

[Colourfulsharpie]

Ohhhhhhh $&@#%^ *FACEPALM*

[BlackenShade]

The title should be "Try not to scream at your computer scream in frustration"....

And I'm from America.

[NCCoffee]

you went down south for the test, its like going to Ireland for you

[DeathJustice]

Oh man, I don't blame people for not knowing geography, but a triangle... Lol

[guitarcrazed188]

Facts do not = intelligence! Its really ignorant for people to think this.

[Cech9393]

How many sides does a triangle have?

Damn, 4

AMG !!!! IDIOTS !! What is United Kingdom? LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[frompolandeu]

it's funny.... and its sad.. 

[ramseyrobert88]

no its not a typical American

[avaiae]

Wow.... I go to a private school in America so we are sort of blocked off from this "Group of Americans" but wow..... I knew all of these (except for the president of Al Qaeda), but this is just terrible.... :(

[BBSniper48]

Listen to 1:49-1:56

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRUSHAH, CHANAH, EENDONEESHYAH, BRASSEEL"

lmfao!

[TarikProductions]

"Iran, I think there is going on a revolution pretty soon"

True?

[MrAwesomedude13579]

HOLY CRAP im american and i cant believe how STUPID everyone is and im only in 6th grade and i know all the answers to these questions

[vicjasso18]

damnn im a mexican and i knew 95% of the anwers haha

[lowlifenrone]

This is what happens when a country does not support good educational systems. That and religious fanatics who chose Faith over Facts. Americans are shit for brains, the majority anyways.

[destined2sleep]

star wars was based on a true story, lol, u can see that guy was totally brain fried, dumb rock ape

[Campineiroamericano]

This is typical of the average america, which is terrible, and it's shameful.

[michaelfeldman91]

@Campineiroamericano i do beleive you ment to say amercia"n"

[1225jameel]

the top 5% want to have bottom 95% stay ignorant so they can control them.

[namesuks]

I only want to say this " IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND , IGNORANT NON- RELIGIOUS,FOOLISH,ADULTERY COMMITTING AND ONLY THINKING ABOUT SEX , MAKING YOUR OWN WOMEN PROSTITUTES, WAGING WAR AND COMMTTING ALL KINDS AND ROOTS OF EVIL THE ONE EYED IS THE KING ,MESSIAH AND GOD".

Thumbs me up if i am right Thumbs me down if iam wrong dont thumbs me down or up u are a fucking retard my friend.

This applies to all who have read my comment! hahaha

[ENM173]

@namesuks I'm sorry, what.

[namesuks]

I only want to say this " IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND , IGNORANT NON- RELIGIOUS,FOOLISH,ADULTERY COMMITTING AND ONLY THINKING ABOUT SEX AND MAKING YOUR OWN WOMEN PROSTITUTES THE ONE EYED IS THE KING ,MESSIAH AND GOD".

Thumbs me up if i am right Thumbs me down if iam wrong dont thumbs me down or up u are a fucking retard my friend.

This applies to all who have read my comment!

[riotgage]

I don't know about the rest of the world, but even though our native language is swedish any 9th grade would have aced these questions without the need of interpretation

[rijilfreekdaredevil]

4:16 epic fail..........holy shit

[jonray107]

this might be fake, because the logo CNNNNN looks too much like a parody of the cnn logo i cant trust this video, if its real im not sure how they picked these people

[mansoor3030]

your being reicst u grand pa middle east used to own you without us there was no moving machines in the world we have petrol

[yootubeisshit]

cut the government & you can still save your country.

[JDmagiba]

Yeah, NOT ALL Americans are that stupid, they're still stupid but not that stupid...I would say:

80% - ARE EXTREMELY STUPID AND IGNORANT

15% - ARE STUPID

5% - ARE NOT THAT STUPID

[Toothpasteurmom]

lol theres about 10 eiffel towers in paris

[fayraina123]

oh wow "how many sides does a triangle have" umm 4.. SOME POEPLE ARE STUPID!! but not all of us are..

[DominickWolffangs]

Wtf dude we are not stupid

[riddick12345100]

YOU ARE ASKING DUMB ASSES NOT ALL PEOPLE IN THE US ARE STUPID!!!!

[TrentmanX]

I'm a Mexican living in Jalisco. I recall entering a videogame webchat and talking to a guy from the United States. As soon as he knew that I was Mexican he asked me "have you ever seen a computer in your life?" To what I answered: "no, I'm using a cell phone attatched to a telegraph line to log in here". What did he answer? He logged off, too ashamed of his own stupidity. This also reminds me of how Americans were IMPRESSED of finding millions of videos NOT IN ENGLISH when Youtube was launched.

[iamyourgod1988]

@TrentmanX Haaaahaaa that's hilarious!

I would be crying with laughter lol.

[Grymlingen]

the guy who explains Al qaida sounds like the bear in The Cleveland Show :P

[spotman30]

USA

UGANDA

CoMe ON ART THOU RETARDED?

[notalott]

nahh it's cool you can keep cutting our education funding..

[krista920205]

@notalott Dude, this has nothing to do with the education funding..... Even if the funding is little they don't teach you that Australia is France or Italy and they probably share some info that a triangle has 3!!! sides. And in there somewhere they also say that there were only 2!!! World Wars.... come on...

[XxXxCloudXStrifexXxX]

It's really fucking sad when a fourteen year old can answer more than half of these questions when someone older than I can't answer them for shit. These people REALLY give Americans a really bad fucking name.

[PojeMetal]

then the thing about 1/4 Americans are retards, is true...no big deal we knew that allready.

[Ecocide112]

Really, what religion is a Buddhist monk? like, really...how you guna get that wrong... Thats like, fuckin, what color is this red t-shirt..?

[Calaxus]

I'm 14. And I'm American. I understood over half of these questions.

[Crazypicapau]

- who is Fidel Castro?

- a singer

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LOL³

[PenanceFail9]

Oh wow if they think we Americans are stupid why don't they try asking those questions at a high school or at a college

[XxGDragon3loveX]

They chose the stupidest people ever....I knew the answers to most of those...and lol the dumb blonde

[MrEllimorelli]

Freaking dumb Americans

[jdhsk1]

I'm 13 an I know more than these people... Where is the Berlin wall? Umm could it possibly be in Berlin? Idiots

[supermurus]

We should kill anyone who gets any of these questions incorrect. they have to be removed from the gene pool

[ChristinaWolfle]

Why are there English subtitles on a English video.. Too bad I am stuck reading them out of habit(I watch a lot of foreign stuff)

[FREEvRUN]

Blame everything on the muslims.

[wigimanXx]

1:52 wene this guy came on i almost cried laughing

[kadeekate13]

Ok I'm American and I agree those people are unbelievably stupid but people can't honestly thin an entire country is like that we aren't all stupid just to let everyone know

[MissPhoebe101]

that is terrible!the teachers in america must just sit on their asses all day judging by these people's knowledge!AUSTRALIA IS NOT KOREA!

[kissalot666]

i sitll dont now were kentucky fried chicken comes from.

[oxnard30]

They only pick the retards I bet u

[CodeLyokoUnited]

It seems they always choose the stupid people to interview. Walk into a library and ask there, or something. I could have answered all of these with slightly tangent answers so as to confuse the interviewer.

[AddDude23]

All of humanity is retarded. can we just put that to rest otherwise we wouldn't still be on earth or have war.

[TheFoilGuy]

This isn't fair, you only questioned liberals...

[KidNCState]

@TheFoilGuy haha FUCK YEAH

[johnnyjjohn1]

Ok?

[BlueSummerXZXT]

Pretty sure they won't put anyone who said anything intelligent on here, and pretty sure there are idiots like these in any country.

Still though, watching this video made my brain hurt.

[ZmHpSd]

@BlueSummerXZXT It was CNN themselves who posted this on. Why would they give out false information about their own country? its a total facts about typical average americans.

[PocketBeemRocket]

@ZmHpSd Actully, it was Australian Broadcasting Company. The show was called the Chasers and was made by men who generally insulted everyone and everything. They just usa a parody brand called CNNNN. (4 N's) Still, its pretty annoying that their are people couldn't name a single country beginning with U.

[auntilzmontage]

Americans are OK, but this just hurts my brain!

[TheSevanthNinja]

I despair for humanity.

[DeathScouter]

As an American, I would like permission to bitch-slap every one of these idiots....often!

[Abraksas112]

Seen worse here in Germany. And I'm not speaking of the featured video here which is fake anyway ;).

But hey, in a country with more than 300million citizens it's not so hard to find some dumb people, right? ;)

[GeoWing2]

This makes me want to leave this country more and more. I'm about to just start swimming just to get the fuck out of here these people are fucking disgraceful.

[OsamaBinZombied]

Of course we seem dumb. The stupid Brits asked the dumb asses.

[tougefc]

@OsamaBinZombied

LOL! Its Australian's who made the video and asked the questions!

[XxmysticflapjackxX]

@OsamaBinZombied how can u call brits stupid wen u see this

[tigran914]

honestly don't ask the freakin idiots, did you find anyone smart? i'm sure you did cause in IQ terms the U.S. is the #2 only behind Japan, Japs are fucking geniuses

[ariazthegreat]

He picked the wrong ppl to question lol

[ThisIsJustAustin]

As an American, a fourteen year old boy, I cringe watching this. I answered almost every one of these questions to myself without problem, and there are adults that don't know what a triangle is. And the thing is, they bring stereotypes down on me. Smh...

[mixedbeliefprincess1]

Yeah, I'm 16. Those questions were extremely easy.



[tewesy1]

@ThisIsJustAustin dont be ashamed, i think an ausssie asked the questions, (im an aussie) and they are just the few dumbass answers he received, i bet a whole lot of people they asked did easily answer the questions

[jrod123ist]

Ummm the people in this vid are either black hispanic or redneck or blonde... So yeah

[xNoeLx95]

the chinese word in the video title is "stupid americans"

[c0ndu]

triangle lolllll

[Freerunned3]

omg im still in middle school, and i could answer all of the questions xD

[SuckitRyan]

what language do they speak in Latin America?

Israel?

[SuckitRyan]

good god

[areng871]

i've meet one. from what i see... if i'm a manipulator i pick american people to mess with. obidient, clueless, so eazy to manipulate. well some of them is so smart making US a superpower. i say exploitation of humanbeing by humanbeing is a dially occurance there.

[AlizeLaforet]

I as an intelligent American watched this video with horror and disbelief. I for one could answer each one of those questions correctly, and nearly cried at the answers these people gave. Hopefully viewers of this video are "smarter" than these "typical American" and can see that all this is is a perpetuation of a stereotype and nothing more.

[BOLSHEVIXTREME]

@AlizeLaforet dude a 10 year old answer these questions never mind an intelligent person

[boilpoil]

i cant believe they pointed north korea and iran and france at australia.....

[Sk8tr32111]

I'm Canadian and I'm smarter than an American adult....... Surprising!

[TheHawtgeek]

I'll admit there were a few I didn't know or would have got wrong, but just the same I doubt the pretentious prick could answer every question I could ask.

[Abowers24]

Go to a high school and not the ghetto and they will answer the questions right

[FullmetalZX]

@Abowers24 Don't make me laugh. I know college students that would probably get some of these questions wrong.

[Spyflugan91]

@aziltener yea only that this people are only normal street guys so picking out the most retaded shouldn't be fair!

[krista920205]

OMG I can answer all of this questions and I'm still in high school! I can't believe how stupid these people are! I didn't know that Australia is Italy, France, Korea .... these people are killing me, didn't they went to school or least of all - don't they watch TV!!! OMG

[Arnusson]

@krista920205 You must now that questions in kindergarden

[krista920205]

@Arnusson Exactly my point

[gabe8513]

These people completely embarrassed themselves and the U.S.... Damn idiots

[ksamooon]

"Whats the religion of Israel"?

Replay: ( "Muslims"? )

WTF , Muslims HATE ISRAEL !!!!!!

[Kuploosh]

Why does this video say "try not to laugh"? It's just a bunch of reincarnated people being asked hard questions and giving correct answers.

P.S. Why did the host give Yoonighted Staets of Umerica as a country that starts with U?

[Spyflugan91]

@Kuploosh giving correct answers? hard questions? where is the berlin wall (in berlin) - i have no idea! Pick a country that starts with U - Yugoslavia? ha another (ignorant) patriot trying to defend his country!

[Kuploosh]

@Spyflugan91 It was a joke! Sheesh.

[MrSpyke008]

omfg the americans ar so fuck'n stupid=))))) fuck you Obama!

[TheMan21892]

were all these people in the same city?? this is fucking retarded! im ashamed to live in the same country as these people!! a triangle with four sides?! not knowing a country that starts with a "u"!? REINCARNATED!!! WTF, MAN! THREE WORLD WARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, enough trolling my own people. i feel better now :)

[ForrestRogers]

Wow I stopped the bid half way thru I couldn't take the dumb ass awnsers that people gave I'm American and I knew all of the awnsers they asked that I saw

[hawksbaby96]

i didnt lauph, cause this is not funny! :)

[jazzilycious]

sooo biased lol they only show wrong and dumb ass answers

[anthdude360]

lol i love that black dude at 2:02

[yootuubinatwerk]

wtf this coming from Australians?????????????????? or even worse Kiwi's?

How about being UNIQUE this was done on our very own Late night TV shows

we make fun of ourselves.... look at the White trash that are "THE CASEY" wtf!?

[MilesPerSecond39]

This gives me the inspiration to go to Europe and ask them questions like this...I don't think I would get any different responses than these...

[JDC5656]

@MilesPerSecond39 I would suggest that is wrong. It is common knowledge that Amercians dont care about any other country apart from themselves, so anything like that wouldnt work in Europe. Also, they care a lot more about politics and history in Europe too. Finaly, the OECD Test results show that the USA is 25th out of 33 for the average maths level, and America is 19th in the world in the ranking of average iQ levels. Nearly all European counties beat america, with 15 counties ahead.
