  • 3:54 you'll see em

  • LMFAO i see that green monster that lives in the garbage can on sesame street xDDDD

  • So does that mean your dumb if u do not know a song? not all the smart people out there listen to all kinds of music

  • @arnaz4 I know I don't. I'm deaf. In the Mensa Society, there are several deaf people.

  • Easy ass questions ... Langan is a hack anyhow.

  • cannot believe it was used makeup... like no one would sell/buy that but prohibited?

  • Isn't it just ironic that the ratio between wrong contestants are from Women to Men 5:2?

  • @UltimateDreamerDX You moron you don't even come close to know the definition of ironic.

  • @OcarinaofTime98 Go suck on your daddy's dick and choke on it you internet fag. I didn't ask you.

  • although to clarify, u can use logic for some of these

  • being smart doesn't really give you too much of an advantage, it's all about knowledge..

  • @LoluskPoo However, intelligence is what helps you gain knowledge. Higher intelligence you have, the easier it is to grasp new concepts thus form new knowledge. As well as being able to deeply analyze new knowledge to create even more knowledge. Why do you think those with lower intelligence tend to have lower academic performance while those with higher struggles less?

  • @QuicksilverdotFX to clarify, by knowledge i mean "bunch of stupid random facts you'll never use again in your life".

  • @LoluskPoo Random facts have helped me on numerous situations. It has helped me comprehend the seriousness of various situations - some life threatening. An average joe knowing what is edible in the wild but always has been living in a city may find his edible plant knowledge useless - what if he takes a flight and ends up on an island? Bet your ass he may be the key to survival for the survivors.

    Typical idiot you are, thinking random facts are useless.

  • @QuicksilverdotFX You clearly don't understand what i'm saying.. Life threatening? lol.. yeh if i man puts a gun to your head and says "Whats the capital of india or i'll shoot" sure. There is a big difference between survival facts and knowing the average amount of lipstick purchased each year

  • @LoluskPoo You clearly do not understand what you are saying. Random facts are VERY useful. If I had a gun on my head, I would know several facts to aid my survival. Depending on the trajectory of the pistol and the location it is pointing on my head - I can judge if it is lethal. Even if it was lethal, I still have very high chance of survival as I know human reflexes is uncontrolled in the subconscious mind. If I trigger the gunner's reflex, I buy myself time to grab the gun.

  • @QuicksilverdotFX Average amount of lipstick purchased each year can aid my marketing tactics and increase ROI. Every single random facts are helpful in many situations. Your feeble mind just do not know how to use facts accordingly. It requires intelligence to do so.

  • @QuicksilverdotFX You don't know what im saying do you? you have no idea.. i refuse to continue replying to an idiot

  • @LoluskPoo You're trying to say random facts are useless and never will be used in anyone's life. I have debunked this myth multiple times.

    I knew the molecular structure of various polymer materials that has been mixed with tungsten and other elements. This useless info landed me a job that I never heard of. Polymer Extrusion Engineer. I never went to school for this, yet I scored a 70k/yr salary.

    Gee, such useless information. Show me ANY random facts and I will show you why it's useful.

  • @QuicksilverdotFX that is not what im saying. Well good for you, you can read.

  • sounds like ron swanson

  • I could've done this, without help from the mob.

  • Wow. On the John Denver question for his answer he did all this thinking for it. I've never heard the song, saw Denver in the guys name and guessed Colorado

  • hey would you look at that! three blondes are smarter than a muppet!

  • this guy sounds and looks like ron swanston

  • I like how Saget is trying to rationalize the answer: "You can't use someone else's makeup, you could get infected!". Like selling used airplanes online is so much more sensible...

  • @caliban1981 ... like who sells used airplanes on ebay, cmon

  • @johnsdeath I do.

  • Lets do math, three blonds + two tits each = 6 tits. 6 tits > 2 tits.

    3 blondes win > 1

  • He cannot be the smartest man by any measure.

    He believes in the Bible.

  • @BrutalValor are you talking about Isaac Newton?

  • @eleutheromaniac

    I'm talking about langan.

  • I'm no genius, but I think given those three options it's quite obvious you can't sell used make-up on ebay. There would definitely be a hygiene issue otherwise.

  • they all said the porn

  • Harry: "I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this"

    Lloyd: "I was thinking the same thing. That John Denver's full of crap, man."

    ^My means of solving the first question

  • what the flying fuck does being smart have to do with knowing a certain song??? stupidass show

  • What does this game show have to do with intelligence?

  • @zerok98 yeah, why dont they ask them something like this, what is 70569x45987 divided by 0,3

  • @zerok98 Should it have something to do with intelligence?

  • @mujotomi Well if they have one of the world's most intellegent men on the show, shouldn't it?

  • @zerok98 Not really,b/c that show existed (in its "trivia-format") before Langan showed up. I think it's not meant to be "familiar". Let's presume you're right (presumably bending the format isn't too difficult a task...). Then they'd be obliged to find 100 fairly intelligent individuals, and appropriate questions to make Langan sweat a bit. Not a bad idea, and maybe (I don't know if it's still aired) it's not too late to propose it to show's executives. I bet Langan wouldn't show up...

  • @zerok98 In the case of the contestant, his IQ has been claimed to be around 195 - 210.

    Basically, it makes for good television.

  • @zerok98 high inteligence also makes your long term memory extremly good.

  • .............

  • @1pineshooter1: LMAO!!! You clearly graduated, if you did, from the lower % of your class!! For starters, my own casual punctuation in my posts is ok online, but would fail in corp; but, clearly, my writing demonstrates that I know the rules! Whereas, being that you don't have a clue as to nor grasp advanced/sophisticated punctuation, re simple, compound and/or complex sentence structure & sharp syntax, u proceed, too dumb to know u're dumb, spamming superbright CarCritic: WTF bro

  • omg, that was fake!!! if there was about 85-90 people, and 50 of them chose the wrong answer, he chose to trust the mob. So being that 50 of them chose wrong and there was a total of about 90, then he should have lost, because 40 = LESS then 50. >.>

  • @neoman121 Trust the mob means choose the answer that the most picked. But there are three answers. So if, say, 30 people chose one wrong answer and 20 chose the other, then the largest number would still be 40, the group that chose right. Like how Mitt Romney got the most votes in the New Hampshire primary without getting a majority (because there were six candidates running).

  • @kiraina25 Oh! ok, thanks for the reply. :)

  • @ 4:54 question was so obvious. >.>

  • are these shows always that simple in america?

  • @benjaminvelleman *sigh* yes.

  • He has the same voice cadence and rhythm as Ron Swanson.

  • 3:08 LOL THE BLACK LADY WAS SO ANGRY

  • wtf this is such a trash show

  • yh this is retarded hes getting asked trivial questions not legit questions

  • what an idiot..... rocky mountains in arizona?

  • 3:33 haha that guy in the green shirt!

  • The blondes in the middle have absolutely no idea at all what he's talking about!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahhahahahahahahahahahaha

  • 1:50 Isn't that the black chick who was talking shit in part 1? She got knocked out? HAHAHAHA! Then she goes and covers her face.. owned.

  • @ElderTempest No the one who was trash talking langan is still in the comp. That was another woman.

  • I actually thought that last question was the easiest one... and I've never used Ebay.

  • the shows making me feel like i'm a genius

  • Langan trusting the mob was a good strategy, like Galton and the ox weight guessing contest, though I think he was leaning towards make-up, even though he looked relieved and happy--and it was so close 39-38!! That question was nasty, but I think had he had to answer on his own he would have gone with make-up, given enough time to reason it through.

  • they ask the easiest questions what the hell

  • notice that on the first questions it is always most black who answer wrong, this just proves yet again that black have a much lower iq than whites.

  • The smartest man in America is a hardscrabble ex-bouncer / chronic underachiever? "Good Will Hunting" meets "Roadhouse".

  • it's not fair to have that leve of IQ.... Look how much money he can get :(

  • These trivia are so easy to figure out even if you don't know the answers you can find it through simple logic.

  • These questions are so easy. That's says more about the rest of the US than this guys intelligence

  • Smartest man in America?

  • Trivia is not a measure of intelligence, trivia is knowledge learned, in intelligence is a god-given gift.

  • Haha look at everyone hating lol

  • i farted a intelligent fart

  • If there were only 90 something people left and when he trusted the mob and used the most used answer by them and then got it right...why did majority of them get it wrong?

  • This guy sounds exactly like Ron Swanson

  • Lol, intelligence has nothing to do with memory or in this case random ass facts

  • @WoWrofllolz ; Its even worst, its random TRIVIAL USELESS facts...

  • WTf this doesn't make sense how can all these people know these questions it's unnatural!

  • "You've eliminated fifty... two... people!"

    Is it any surprise they're largely male?

  • @Liberum69 your computer better be in the kitchen..

  • @noddy344 hahaha, I'm actually a guy. I meant that only guys wouldn't know that used make up can't be sold on ebay.

  • I think hes just faking that he seems to be guessing them. I bet he knows all the answers.

  • he's just damn good at guessing lol

  • im sure this guy is smart as fuck but he really doesn't come off as that smart in this...

  • He's obviously not exceptionally smart. Even though he got the questions correct his logic and reasoning isn't that good. The fact that he has to reason out the best 'guess' shows that he quite often does not KNOW the correct answers. Look up Pat Gibson or Kevin Ashman, the greatest quiz players alive at present.

  • He's really not the smartest man in in the world. If he was, he would be insane, not calm and collected. Being Smart means you know EVERYTHING, not just how to win.

  • LOL , THE THREE BLONDES ARE STILL IN IT HAHAHAHAHAHA.

  • @Robinqq11 they're a scheming bunch.

  • I like how it takes 3 blondes to make 1 mob person..haha

  • @snewfreak

    Mobster, you mean.

    

  • @snewfreak i dont think its enough haha

  • This game sure was RIGGED! Talk about easy questions - my 5th grader is smart enough to get them all right!

  • Incredible that makeup the most popular choice.. Half of them got eliminated from that choice!

  • possibly smartest man i nthe world and can't even drive? lol

  • never sells item on ebay huh..hahahhahaha

  • some questions can be tricky though. A "truth" especially one determined by human judgment, has no obligation to be logical. We all know that there's some outrageously ridiculous laws in some states or countries, so if you were to put up a list and ask me wich one is false, I would probably fail to find the right answer if I were to decide on the basis of their purpose or their common sense. Same was for the make up and the airplane. I was ambivalent on this one.

    You can sell a toast on ebay...

  • He needed help for "Used Make up"... jeez that's common sense, I'm no genius and I would have got that one right.

  • I really want to know this,

    did anyone ever reached to the end in this game,

  • lol it's so funny to read how well punctuated and sophisticated people's comments are on this video...just because its a video about a smart guy! people are trying to show off their intelligence here, but on other video's they comment like a retard lolol what is it with you think your smart?

  • @sodayodadude1 Haha is there anyone specific on your mind?

  • Um... I would like a lot more proof than his arrogance and an IQ test to suggest he is a "Genius" I happen to know a true polymath and I question people who flaunt their capacity.

  • @leonheart00 did you not fucking read malcom gladwells book? after 62 thumbs up on malcom gladwells book, and you don't even bother to look it up...

  • Comment removed

  • the easist shit they got wrong who da fuck uses used make up

  • @1966ang three possible answers, 39 chose a, 38 b and plus others who chose c.

  • The Game is rigged

  • Retarded questions.

  • what is this? this is the "SMARTEST MAN IN THE WORLD" the only reason they ask these questions is so that everyone else has a figthing chance..

  • @silvastian not in the world, in america. Kim ungYong holds that title. with an iq of 210, higher than chris langans. And having an iq of 190 does not reflect on things youve already know, which is what trivia is. iq reflects how fast you COULD learn things.

  • wait a second....he trusted the mob and more then half of them got it wrong....so how did he get locked on the correct answer?

  • its USA-bunch of retards. its easy to b god amongst the particles of dust.

  • @lilnastiaaa lol that was put beautifully haha

    the one eyed is a god among blind men haha

  • @lilnastiaaa yep. I think hes a nutcase. Cos I read the book OUTLIERS. But who am I to judge. LOL

  • you people are stupid

    he IS god posing as a human being on earth

    i met him.. you will see him on 2012

  • I love how none of the questions measure competence

  • The smartest guy in America... hmmm, that's not difficult to achieve these days. Besides, this guy's IQ scores have never been independently verified - it's all pretty much "self declared"

  • @urcritic It's not "self declared". It's been tested and verified many times. Check your facts before you post please.

  • @fluffyferret You READ that his scores had been independenly verified, I tried to research his references (from Wikipedia) and found it extremely difficult. And the guy couldn't make it through college because he was smarter than the professors? He writes some completely unintelligible stuff supporting Intelligent Design - common, it's a scam. Just google his name with the words "scam" or "fraud" - also look at the Concerns section of the Discussion tab of his wikipedia page.

  • @urcritic his estimated 195 IQ is certificated when he broke the ceiling on a standard psychology tested IQ test he probably have a much higher IQ though I am swedish and I apologize if my writing is misspelled or confusing

  • @ThePaul1E et alia It's not a problem in your writing. It's in your hasty conclusions regarding his IQ. You don't know enough about these matters, and you believe what you've read- that was written by people who either lye or don't know what they're talking about. There is no approved standardized (let's say official) IQ test that has such a ceiling. Number you gave stems from Mega test, but his 1st result gives different score (42 right out of 48, which is app. 176) which is doubtful too.

  • @mujotomi Yeah I heard he completed the mega test much quicker than usual and thats why he got the low score however watch this search for Chris Langan, bar bouncer with the alleged world's highest IQ.

    here on youtube, they are talking about the test i metioned in that video. trust I am right about this I have researched every piece of information thats out there regarding this. f

  • These questions are really easy!!

  • Wow how did the crowd know so much?

  • lmfao. an e-bay question to test intellect? 

  • wait so....52 people got it wrong....so how the fuck was it the right answer when he "trusted the mob"

  • @TheLuckySaGe 91-52=39

    39 people got it wrong.

    There were 2 wrong guesses. 52/2=26 (about this amount.)

    39>26

  • Are you fkn kidding me?? he actually said "no mom would name her son ringo" hmm how about "RIchard STARkey" might in some strang way connect to RIngo STAR" ,,,intelligence is about making connections, not about assumptions. this guy is a fraud

  • @WisdomVendor starkey is a last name you dimit. 

  • Lol, I love how each one of those blondes only have one third of a brain. Who the hell are they?

  • Wow it would be annoying being exclusively referred to as "the smartest man in america"

  • who else was brought here from Malcom Gladwell's book? haha.

  • @tynivinnie Lol it sure seems like a lot of people were.

  • @tynivinnie Yup. Had to read it for summer reading. I thoroughly enjoyed it though.

  • @tynivinnie lmao me! have to read it for a report for my high school soccer coach. and it's actually interesting so i'm looking up everything i read.

  • @tynivinnie I have 2 read it for school lol

  • @tynivinnie Lol

  • @tynivinnie you caught me.

    

  • @tynivinnie 80% of people here.

  • @tynivinnie YES SIR REEE BOB

  • @tynivinnie me too

  • @tynivinnie Did you see that last matrix puzzle in the outliers...how can anyone solve that?

  • @tynivinnie Outliers is a beast of a book!

  • @tynivinnie yup

  • This TV show is phoney! look at 6:08, apart from 1 square blocked by the GSN icon at the top right, counting the red and blue panels gives 52 (or maybe 53) red (wrong) and 38 (or maybe 39) right...Yet the host says that 38 chose used DVD's, 39 chose used makeup...L0L this show is horrible! though I'm only judging it based on this 1 video

  • This is stupid

  • 10 more than the gsn version

  • Is it just me, or is he getting the easiest questions?

  • DUMB QUESTION CAN'T BE ANSWERED BY SMART PERSON. Your like asking a smart person, "Justin Bieber is gay or not?" A smart person would not watch Justin Bieber so he might say his not gay even though he is gay. Get me?? In this game you don't have to be smart but you have to be more experienced. =)

  • Gladwell

  • Gladwell

  • We seriously let people like these procreate?? Chris should be milked and made to impregnate those three blond chicks. The human race is on the line here.

  • Lol dumbest questions ever.

  • D. It is written

  • This game is ridiculous. You don't succeed by your own merit, but by the incompetence of others.

  • @chaos850

    The world works in a similar fashion.

  • @chaos850 I wanted to write America. but no I would be wrong the WORLD. and fuck bob saget

  • @JS1989RENEWED And tourettes guy likes to say his name as an exclamation

  • @chaos850 Sounds like life?

  • @chaos850 Think of it as a measure against the average, even though that's not what the producers focus on.

  • @chaos850 yea i know eh, life sucks. oh wait... you weren't talking about life..

  • @chaos850 Yeah and also that crazy theory God / Nature had when the dinosaurs became extinct, paving the way for mankind's dominance is booooooring.

  • @chaos850 keyword game. its a game. relax.

  • @chaos850 it all depends on how you choose to look at it...f

    

  • @chaos850 Sounds alot like life.

  • @chaos850 Is it really all that ridiculous? I think it's fair to say at least half the people who suceed in anything in real life do it off the backs of someone else's incompetence/failures.

  • @chaos850

    I don't love the show either but that wouldn't be my criticism.

    In this game as in any other competition between humans, your success depends both on your own capacity and you opponent's lack thereof. I'n'it?
