Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader - 1st Million Winner

[Ellendiel]

This show is obviously staged. Half the questions on the show are absolutely absurd for a 5th grader to know. Hell some of the random 3rd grade geography questions were like "what is the capital of X random country" "what is the latin root of X word"

Westpoint graduates, Yale graduates, people who graduated from some of the best schools in America never win. But this random chick from Georgia of all states wins? Who cares if she's a superintendent, you don't need to be intelligent for that.

[Tato498]

hmm, am i the only one to think that she should be at least smarter than a 5th grader in order to be Georgia's State Superintendent of Schools. come on, what? she supervises schools fro crying out loud!!!

[Zenguardian]

Who the fuck knows that in 5th grade? They only each you whatever is in the book and I can guarantee you in the USA nothing was ever said about that.

[Moxevil]

"he got too fat. he died."

[theoxisfree]

that was a really easy question... :/

[wooho42]

i knew this and im american

[Torchwood001]

I knew this straight away but then again I am British ><! They says monarch like a twat

[LazerJet27]

I knew this! Then again...I just learned this in 8th grade and again in 9th grade last year. 

[thejbog111]

@aaasrvjvdna, okay, who was Americas 27th president

[GotMilkster101]

LIKE A BOOWSSSS!!!!!!!!

[DofusXel]

Kathy Cox has gone missing and nobody has seen her ever since ... coincidence...

[Patriik23]

I didnr know wtf

[kalden555]

she had to answer a bunch of questions and that other ghetto girl did it in 8 secs guessing prices

[ngarcia103]

... while some other people had to survive 39 days on a deserted island!

[ACHAXD4]

ohmygod im crying too ; ~ ;

[JRacer524]

Way to go. I wish they had the confetti for her.

[MaddDogg81]

if this was Canada I'd get to keep the full one million

[MaddDogg81]

a monarch is royalty

[supremeon1]

unbelievable what an easy question, and what a show she put !!!

[Scarlson1038]

well she is wearing glasses...

[bellalovesicecream]

directed my dom wiener

[Guns4Guitars]

after taxes: You won $20

[TheLuigiMarioFan]

@Guns4Guitars No after her bankruptcy: You won $-2,000,000

[jakeyjake330]

A TOTAL TIME OF 3:20 TO 1 SIMPLE QUESTION I KNEW!

[P4dddy1977]

Wow, thats a million dollar Question? That's sad, everybody knows that.

[BiqqDaddyJr]

; Meanwhile In Africa .....

[Kaali974]

3:40 sounds like he says 'You knew so many fags'

[christianlegoguy14]

NO CONFETTI???

[me323]

Henry VIII and Elizabeth I weren't even British monarchs

[woobieweibel]

It just goes to show you all of the USELESS facts they throw at you that you will never ever in your life (unless you choose that field to work in) use again! Ken Jennings even failed to get the $1m.

[prankpatrol89]

I am in grade 9... First question I had was WTF IS A MONARCH lol

[SuperSparksTV]

@prankpatrol89 A monarch is the highest ranking person in society. They are like the King/Lord. I just learned this

[MrStereotypicalAsian]

Ken Jennings isn't smarter than a 5th grader. She is. Therefore she is smarter than Ken Jennings

[korin6226]

Question: 1:10

Answer: 3:10

Reveal: 4:30

KEEP IT Thumbed up

[necrodominator]

Dumb show, asking questions that would have no impact on your life if you knew them...unless you wanted to be an expert in British monarchacy or something like that.

[drogonax]

i couldnt answer that

[goranpost123]

so glad she won!!!! <3

[PrincessHv101]

aw :') <3 got teary eyed there :) im so glad she won:)

[rapbattlewbbofficial]

her: now off to buy more burgers

[aaasrvjvdna]

This is a question for 1million dollars? Seriously? Goddamn i start to realize that americans are really that dumb and its not only an urban legend. Recently i watched a lot of US quizzes on youtube and all the questions are so easy. Im from eastern europe and here these kind of questions are the middle or low-middle type of questions. I really should go to usa and play quizzes in my whole life, i could be a multi-millionaire....

[AustinCarnes]

@aaasrvjvdna

You would have saved a lot of time if you just said "Hey guys I'm better than all of you". Plus you would have sounded less pompous. Taking anecdotal evidence like this as proof that a whole nation of people are stupid isn't a great testament to your own intelligence though, so you might want to work on that one.

[wazzupbrady92]

@aaasrvjvdna the question was easy for you because YOU ARE BRITISH. Ok, now without looking anything up, can you name every US president in order? I CAN. I learned them in the 3rd grade. I learned it about the time YOU learned about British monarchs. So stop criticizing our country for not knowing things that YOUR country should know. BTW, got the names of those presidents written down yet? ;)

[aaasrvjvdna]

@wazzupbrady92 Lol man, im not british, i dunno from where did u get that. i am from Serbia.

[Tw1nTUR8O]

@aaasrvjvdna Serbia? Isn't that the little shit stain of a country located somewhere in close proximity to Greece? Hahaha

[julesbanana1]

@wazzupbrady92

Great Britain is not in Eastern Europe...

[MattTheOak]

@wazzupbrady92 Wow; you've done really well there to actually further PROVE his point about Americans being stupid rather than argue against it. So Great Britain is in 'Eastern Europe'. Maybe you should start using wikipedia everytime before you speak, you fucking cretin

[demoloader12]

@aaasrvjvdna

It is very easy for you because you live in fucking Europe. Think about what you just wrote, and the question just presented. It is much easier to know about your own region than other areas of the world. Common sense bro.

[aaasrvjvdna]

@demoloader12 yea yea, just look for excuses for your dumbness.

[demoloader12]

@aaasrvjvdna

Really? I bet you would be screwed on questions about the USA.

And not knowing trivia doesn't make you dumb. Your remark justifies your arrogance.

[julesbanana1]

@demoloader12

there are lots of countries in Europe. Mexico is in "our region" as it is in N. America, do you know all the Mexican presidents?

[Ellie21408]

@aaasrvjvdna Then go to USA and become a multimillionaire, smart aleck.

[vwbusssesareforever]

@aaasrvjvdna go for it

[tonychet2s]

EVEN I KNOW THISSSS

[Silventolin]

I knew it. Thanks, Civ 4!

[TheJessituh]

Lol its more like smarter than an 11th grader i'm in 7th grade and I have no idea who that was haha.

[SketchyQuark]

The fact that Jeff Foxworthy knew how long Queen Victoria reigned seemingly off the top of his head should have been a nice clue...

[SuperMarioBrothers09]

why do the kids look like there 7 or 8?

[SuperChristian411]

Dont like this show. ?'s r too hard. 1st grade question. True or false a turtle is an amphibian? Only a 4th grader would know that. -.-

[Evilektr0nyka]

Bitch I will slam this physics book like no tomorrow!

[BlackTunda007]

if i were her id point at each of those 5th graders in turn and say "IM SMARTER THAN YOU"

[kappelmeister123]

this show is too blue collar....they need more canned laughter and onions to induce tears

[whitechocolit18]

who looked this up because of gsn

[Sartionful]

she talks like a teacher lol

[Pheminon]

when it said "If Kathy answers correctly" i thought it was going to say

"she will win a million dollars"

Did anyone else think that too?

[bmccl2]

haha 4:15 guy from audience said BOO!

[LittleMonsterReagan]

Lol I knew it was Victoria answered it in like 5 seconds.. js

[xmkmkx]

@LittleMonsterReagan Ikr, I saw Young Victoria too xD

[toonlinkms1]

I know her cuz i am in GA abd she visited our school

[makenna88]

Yes! I am awesome!

[makenna88]

Victoria? or the current one.

[xiherox]

wow I'm in 10th grade and got done with British history and didn't learn about Queen Victoria......  public schools needa step up....

[wolfmyth007]

Queen Victoria was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the question...

[Blakebill12]

wow i didnt even know what a monarch is

[MrWayForward]

Glad to see an american person so cultivated about european history and british ones.

This show shows the world you have smart and cultivated peeps in the USA and they do win games baby !

[zapface94]

you know to be frank i think most 5th graders outside usa will know the answers. This stuff is exactly what i learned in 5th grade.

[huizar4289]

Psht, in the 5th grade all we learned was to write in cursive and write poems. -_-

[MrChaer1]

@huizar4289 same here :)

[autumnpixiedust]

she guessed 70 years and the answer was 63. And the crowd looks like "damn she's screwed". It was so close to the actual figure anyway -__-"

[slayer1112911]

41 People Got It Wronge

[TheHeadshotM]

How is ANYONE suppossed to know this?

[EastProductions11]

when the women was about to answer, it looked like she crapped her pants when she quickly took her hand out.

[DrFuryII]

@DariusFTW maybe the curriculum was different in the state that he's from? So stfu you prick it's different for each state in the US

[KustomShark]

then a guy came out and say... It was fake

[MrVanDaylay]

Wouldn't it be ironic if she had a heart attack from the whole thing

[Kaynas1988]

did they ever do a show called Are You Smarter Than Your 5th Grader, BTW I'm not being nasty I was just wondering

[akabs33]

I dont even know the answer to these questions and im in AP History... Smh get of the pot kids

[gydeme]

@akabs33 it's funny because AP history isn't actually a subject. There is AP European history, AP US history, and AP Government. P.S. this is a common knowledge question

[masterger94]

She wanted kids to stay in school so she can retire ahaha!

[sqazsquat]

fact: the kids are briefed on the questions before the show and given the answers. it's up to them to remember them during actual play.

[DrStrangebomb1993]

This may not be correct in a few years time... I swear, Queen Elizabeth II will outlive her son! :D

[EminemLyriczz]

this show is obviously staged.

[basstardize]

bitch, just say the fucking answer already. 1 min video at best.

[happinin]

@basstardize when you're at the million dollar question and could lose $975 000 then tell me it only takes a minute to answer the question...... herp derp :)

[lugueins]

Those Kids are like: Btich, Buy Us Ice Cream at least!

[DOGGEATDOGG03]

In college, I was taught that Queen Victoria was a whore and she seduced a lot of men. Something a 5th grader don't know. lol

[laswai2]

@DOGGEATDOGG03 Fifth graders know the difference between "don't" and "doesn't."

[DOGGEATDOGG03]

@laswai2 who care. hahaha i speak black

[Kaytij]

@DOGGEATDOGG03 "doesn't" :)

[Firemasterlucky5]

That's BS. She was a history teacher.

[battousaicrescent]

The questions on this show are probably gathered from everywhere around the world,there is no 5th grader with an average iq who can answer all of them correctly with just a regular education.

[66thegrass]

well seeing as i just asked my brother that finished 5th grade last year if he knew this and he said they didnt even talk about Britain. so im calling bullshit.

[66thegrass]

well seeing as i just asked my brother that finished 5th grade last year if he knew this and he said they didnt even talk about Britain. so im calling bullshit.

[orangey367]

woahhhhh 4:33 IS THAT ME ON THE LEFT HOLY SHIT I THINK IT IS GO CRAZY WOMP WOMP WOMP WOMP WOMP

[5Rroni5]

Good job

[ivegotalongdong]

bet francesca is a cutie now...christ almighty - just answer!! i hate it when they rationalize the answer and explain it - who fucking cares

[airplanefreak27]

I can't imagine most public school systems teach past the fourth grade...

[ZebraFan5767]

How long does she scream for??!!

[bekkermanboy]

Ok, I got this question right but i learned this in beginning of high school. I am now in college, but I never knew this in 5th grade for sure.

[DontMockMySmock]

Fifth graders are expected to know that? I don't think I know more than about three or four british monarchs.

[FREDISFUNNY234]

415,072 veiws???

[MultiPopularvids]

who has the longest..

[MrSophwa]

these 5th graders are god damed smart

[icecatlily1]

I love it!

[FateMasterBG]

lol i knew that :D

[litojonny]

when bill gates watched this he just made 20 million dollars

[MimfoeGaming]

Why don't they just get some 5th graders in there instead? Of course with their parent(s) giving them the green light

[Togekiss59]

Wow in fifth grade they teach you about Britain's history and past monarchs? When I was in 5th grade, we only learned about America's history.

[tobi9ify]

@Togekiss59 same here... and i was in fifth grade 2 years ago

[talonisles556]

@Togekiss59 Now they skip over a lot of US History. Its really sad :(. I envy home-schoolers.

[DariusFTW]

@Togekiss59 shows how shit your country's education system is.

[mikeweeszy]

@Togekiss59 Yeah the shows not fair, The're teaching these kids something that we'll probably never come across albet intense studying

[michelle1743]

@Togekiss59 yeah me too

[bouchrock]

@Togekiss59 When I was in fifth grade we learned world's history not America's bullshit...

[SuomiRS]

@Togekiss59 In Finland they teached that on 4th grade?!?!? ...

[HKUK94]

That's the easiest question ever.

[pizza1512]

This is way too dramatised.

[BuzzTFM]

None of the questions are the correct grade. For example a second grade question was The symphony opera was first orgininated in what state... Wtf

[DaN0T0RI0US1]

At 3:50 the host is like "damn someone actually got a million from us"

[FacepunchChris]

finally a question that actually fits for 5th graders

[johnloves1098]

sadly she only got half of it cuz ok takes.



[barahavlinova]

Most of the questions are normal for 5th grader in Czech. Compare to the fact, that they learn a lot from European history too. I think that the questions are perfectly ok .)

[imthetank3]

audience: i dont fucking know the answe to this, lemme google it on my smartphone

[TheAustinKyle]

Im just now learning that stuff and im in highschool

[ROMrocker]

i thought u could only win $250,000

[ExplodingWaffles123]

I highly doubt that these are actually from a 5th grader textbooks. I mean some of the questions were from Geometry!?!??!!

[fleabag500]

@ExplodingWaffles123

Do you even know what Geometry is? It's shapes. You learn about shapes in Kindergarten.

[lpforgood]

@fleabag500 actually geometry is a high school class. its about solving expressions using angles and stuff. your right geometry means shapes, but its more than that.

[THEX3CUTOR1]

This is what they learn in 5th grade now? When I was in 5th grade, spelling Monarch was an accomplishment.

[Togekiss59]

@THEX3CUTOR1 VERY TRUE

[MrNewYorkCityLover]

This show is so rigged

[LadyofBammare]

this show is shit. the kids are fed answers and the questions are way above 5th grade material in the USA.

[zomb3kill3r]

next million dollar question...

how tall was jesus?

[iRandomBlog]

so she's the only american smarter than a 5th grader...sigh

[sk8erdog27]

she can buy a lot of candy for those children for that money

[mrDuckWorth88]

EASY! -then I am British

[clifferd44]

I learned that in 8th grade

[BlueReishiMan]

the kids seemed possessed screaming at :30

[svetlintomov86]

Why do they give away money to IDIOTS insted of smart people who will help other people who need help?There is about 1000000 people that need that money and they would use it right but nooo lets give it to the vilage idiot - thank you america may god bless you-with some brains for a change

[doomsun3]

@svetlintomov86 I'm sure the US goverment will hand away 1 billion dollar check to other countries for free, no need to worry about debt. Also Game shows do this to make money. Why would different companies sponsor this game show just to give it all away? In US Capitalism its all about the money so no Sh*t their gonna keep the money.

[killforpie]

Do Americans learn nothing about other countries in highschool? I thought this was been common knowledge.

[DragonDrummer8]

@killforpie yea but they come in thinking the material is for 5th graders, this is no where near a 5th grade question, but hey she got the answer right.

[Scream4Cheese]

@killforpie well, you're wrong. first of all how is it common knowledge? it's not common at all. it's not something really important to remember for your life. 

[zashleysweetheart]

WTF!what is a monarch?! and how could a 5th grader know this when i was in the 5th grade i probably never even heard of the word monarch or at least a british one

[jamiemd39]

pshh i know that..... wait a minute im english

[Luchiha0chan]

@jamiemd39 i knew it n im argentinian ¬¬

[mario2000567]

Fudge man if u asked that to me in 5th grade I'd say "I didn't know butterflies could have races..."

[anutforajaroftuna100]

[Grove537]

MY SUPERINTENDENT IS A WINNA WOOOOOT EAT IT!!!!!!!!!!

[OddballExtreme]

@Grove537 Let's face it, we need MORE superintendents like her!

[WinterTimeShawty]

Smarter than A 5th Grader ? More like smarter than a College Professor ! I'm in high school and didn't almost know this answer.

[IBLawrence]

[emailpaulday]

You would think a teacher would know that Henry 8th was only king of England not Britain
