only the old people and foreign guy fell for it because they had never heard of pokemon before. Most people coming across references to something they have never heard of would just assume it was a real thing they had never heard of. I think you should do it again but try it on more 15-30 year olds and slowly change the topic to pokemon rather than just throwing in references.
This isn't a listening problem. This is people refusing to acknowledge they have no idea what they're talking about, and trying not to look stupid. And they all failed miserably. :D
I completely second this! Would that be funny if enough people did this, and a fictional character was elected president? Golly, I would laugh SO HARD.
This. Is. Amazing. And we all KNOW these old people have NO IDEA who these guys are talking about, but they just don't wanna seem dumb. Fatal attempt xD
omg the magnitude of effort that went into this faint attack on the phycic world of random people was super effective at making me flail in laughter.really this act hypnotize me n i couldn't keep my eyes off the screen.only a few could actually see your quick attack n dodge b4 you could make them a laughing stock on youtube:)you're airial ace at confusing people with your twister words.i couldn't believe you had the agility to keep up that barrage of hints. the pure confusion.get what im saying?
My only criticism is that the only people who fell for it did not seem to know what pokemon was.... The young one had an idea after the first try. I do not think it should be attributed to the individual's listening ability.
One of the many who did not know what pokemon was manned up and admitted he didn't know what they were talking about (red cap dude). The others continued to bullshit like they knew what they were talking about.
@siromo3 My God, I'm fucking tired of you birthers. All that matters is how well Senator Lugia runs the country, not whether or not he was born in Johto or Kanto.
@KHVandread79 I don't believe we should be allowing senator Lugia to be running until we have his birth certificate to prove his validity as a Kantoian(?)
Lol people suck at listening.XD Pfffff no one even knows what you're talking about.XD Totally gonna try this at the next anime con and see who reacts to what.
after reading comments and knowing Cliton, the 2nd Bush, and Obama also knowing that their rival caditates sucked to I think we may be better off with a cartoon or animie president. What would happen if those of us who are old enough to vote but still young all voted for someone of animated vairity?
Dude, besides that one kid(who caught on), you guys interviewed all old people and some dude who didn't speak good english. Did you expect them to catch on? It would have been funnier if you interviewed more people your age.
@thedon420333 it's not about if the people know pokemon terms or names its about if they really know about healthcare or not, they could've thrown in any madeup names instead and it would've proved the same point, they just used pokemon to make it funnier
@SaturdayVoodoo Yeah, I know. What I'm trying to say is they interviewed mostly old people who, presumably can't hear well. What I was saying was they should have interviewed more young people so people could have more of a chance of catching on. Can ya understand that? Too complex?
Seems less a Psychology test and more "lets ask old people who are easily confused and likely lack an understanding of modern culture of 18-24 year olds".
Try that with a group of 16 year olds and you won't get too far.
The older folk are probably like that because they don't know much about what goes on in pokemon. But subtle things nonetheless, cool experiment. Although you should try this on kids or teenagers for more kicks XD
Man, the younger they were, the more they actually bothered to LISTEN to what they were saying! Even before the teenager got the Pokemon references, he was trying to figure out what they meant by "Brock":
"John Brock? ... Richard Brock? ...?!"
then, the second youngest guy caught them on the Professor Oak thing! The old people weren't even listening when these guys used THE WORD, POKEMON! Now what does it say about old people, in all their "aged-wisdom" and shit?! ALL bullshit! Great vid!
Just another example of the stupidity of the average American...btw who else here supported Senator Lugia in his bid for Congress anyway? I proudly did :D
@afreakinrpggamer No, you only have to be native born to be president. You only have to live in America for I think 14 years. And to be in the house of Representatives, you only have to live in America for 7 years.
