  • You can see Burnie's face get redder and redder from trying to not laugh xD

  • I'm pretty sure pearl harbour didn't draw the americans into world war 2, it just caused them to attack the japanese who actually attacked pearl harbour. The reason america joined WW2 was because german u-boats where attacking american trade ships unprovoked was it not? Also i'm english... I agree this english guy in this video is dumb...

  • @SpellzoGaming That's what I remember from my history lessons, yes. Was thinking the same thing when the question came.

  • he is actually so dumb

  • at least they didn't choose gavin

  • The differences between The American education system and the rest of the worlds:

    America's: They teach you about American history, American history, American history, American history and that WW1 and WW2 were only won because of America.

    The rest of the world: Ancient history, world history, their own country's history, Britain was the leading force behind WW1 with Canada spearheading the last 100 days, WW2: USSR winning the majority of the war against Germany.

  • @promdawg WRONG! we learn so much more than american things.

  • @promdawg ? i learn algebra, calculus, literature, world history, and american history. Also, you say the USSR won the vast majority of the war against germany, but you didn't acknowledge that the US defeated Japan completely alone (and no, the USSR joining the war against Japan the day we dropped the second bomb, ending the war doesn't count). also, on D-Day, the US took 2 out of the 5 beaches, canada taking 1, and Britain, France, and Belgium taking the last. We helped just a little.

  • So... We beat Germany twice but lost to France...

  • AMERICA

  • I'd like to see the roles reversed.

  • wtf ben franklin wasn't even a president

  • I know more and I'm in Australia XD

  • ... This has to be a put up :S

  • Couldn't keep going after where and who attacked us and drovevus into WWII. Was just too offensive.

  • dont use the british flag when talking about england. Jesus

  • obviously he isnt supposed to represent the average brit. Its more or less to show that there are really fucking stupid people everywhere, despite the stereotype that stupid people reside only in america

  • im australian and i knew all the answer to those questions

  • Oh dear god...... look at his teeth!

  • @patmiass4eva - WOW THIS GUY IS SOOOO FUNNY! I'VE NEVER HEARD THAT STEREOTYPE BEFORE/SARCASM!!! Come up with something else you original twat.

  • this has to be fake. any British person would know when WW2 happened.

  • The American representative should be Chuck Norris.

  • I wonder If Burnie really kept a straight face that whole time or if it is just a result of editing

  • Comment removed

  • smart!!!

  • He knows more about US history than my

    history class

  • it HURT to watch this........... but was funny as hell

  • Well im definitely sure that I am going to be using this to study for my U.S. History exam...

  • lol i like the fact that i know more than my kin in this vid

  • 1800's for ww2? lmao

  • @iRaaaGexHD Most. Legit. Comment. Ever

  • @foreveraloneguy you're critisizing us on losing a war that you had no part in? try fighting in a country that nearly everyone resents you. the american revolution should of tought you that lesson

  • @TIAMOTRPD the canadians didnt burn the white house down. they assisted the British but it was almost all britain that did it. btw i'm american

  • @zc630 The Canadians didn't have anything to do with the sacking of Washington DC, due to the fact that in 1812 Canada was only a province in British North America, whilst people who lived in the province Canada fought for the British Empire they weren't Canadian, they were British. Saying they 'assisted the British' is as ridiculous as saying the Californians assisted the Americans in WW2.

    Thus it was ONLY Britain who sacked Washington DC, 

  • @iRaaaGexHD you do realize that astralians were orginally tribal people and then the UK sent their convics there and they just kind of took over. As for everyone else you cant base one persons knowledge of a subject and assume everyone like them are just as stupid or smart. And no this was not an act. It is extremly funny and it woukd be equally funny if it was anyone else answering thise questions so absurdly

  • he didnt listen in school

  • That english guy is really dumb. I'm english and 13 and i could answer most of them correctly.

  • @AnnoyingGingerUK Yes but not as funny. The British accent only goes so far.

  • @AnnoyingGingerUK Because you're on the internet and Google is a thing.

  • @AnnoyingGingerUK You honestly stupid but that might be because you are thirteen, you do realize this is a comedic short and it is scripted?

  • wow those were terrible answers i'm from wales and i was taught most of that in school.

  • 1 THIS GUY DOESNT NO ALOT ABOUT AMERICA COZ IN ENGLAND WE DONT GIVE TOO SHITS ABOUT AMERICA AND DONT NEED TO BE TOUGHT ANYTHING ABOUT UR SHIT COUNTRY NO MATTER HOW BIG U THINK U ARE

  • @TheLeedsmassive You're an American. You don't know how to spell so you're most likely an American teenager

  • @TheLeedsmassive You can't spell. You are an American teenager.

  • @TheLeedsmassive Then why are the English, by the MASSES constantly comparing themselves to America? We don't compare ourselves to you... hmm? It's the other way around. Isn't it? Embarrassing...

  • @TheLeedsmassive our country isn't that big.. also, your grammar is SHIT

  • @TheLeedsmassive i can already tell your a stupid little british kid saying things on youtube to piss people of and get a reaction. it's common idiot procedure. the cure, insult in a clever way unrespondable. so here we go. brits are always insulting americans, because, you're jealous of us and are little peevish maggots with nothing else to do. what has the british done? nothing. american's do every thing. we police other countries, keep things in order, and do what ever we want to do cause'...

  • @TheLeedsmassive WHERE FREE! you are one of the stupidest ( compliment iv'e had chats with lots of other stupid brits) idiots iv'e ever seen. READ MY LIPS. AMERICA IS AWESOME.

  • I'm canadian and i wish i was on this show, hahahaha i would have answered most questions correctly then i would have asked Burny if he knows about the war of 1812 :) you know where the canadians burned the white house down, ohhh gotta love being canadian

  • They need to educate employes

  • Hell yea thanks rooster teeth...I just aced my history test

  • The reason he said 52 states is because of Obama.

  • Haha. Look us Americans couldn't answer anything about English History so stop fighting!

  • "we here would like to celebrate the 4th of july...."

    *uploads video on canada day*

  • Britain was bombed in WW2 constantly how could they not teach about the history of such a war

  • fucking fail it makes me notice how much i know about my country =]

  • How dose he not know about WW2?

  • I can find a ton of people in the US that have no clue about the UK. I don't think I could find anybody that is as uneducated about World War II as that guy was, and a lot of it was right in Europe!?!

  • wow that dude is stupid.

  • This has to be a joke, I've never been out of Europe and I know all this stuff

  • Oh come on, how can you people not realise the whole thing was a set-up? Here in Britain, WWII is launched at us from a young age, so unless he was a chav (clearly not) or a retard (clearly not) then there is no way he could have not known the century WWII took place in. The same goes for all the other stupid answers. This was a joke by some Americans to celebrate their independence from the British, and as always, us British are always ready to have a laugh at ourselves.

  • I'm amazed how much of this I know considering that in Ireland and probably Britain all we learn is the American War Of Independance

  • How the fuck can you not know where Vietnam is?

  • @josh14ll wow i think you are more stupid than the guy acting to be stupid in this video

  • Comment removed

  • I'm now embarrassed to be English. XD

  • i wonder how many american children know about the history of anywhere else in the world

  • they don't like the British because of guys like this who don't know nothing and i hope rooster teeth are only joking because im one of the biggest fans ever so...

  • @XtErMiNaTiOnZz yes, they actually are joking

  • @BurningD23 good to know

  • @BurningD23 good to know

  • @BurningD23 good to know 

  • @BurningD23 good to know

  • I cried from laughing.

  • England aren't the smart ones, they're the political ones, scotland's the place with the smart guys, wales are the sheep shaggers. Just some info on the uk, there's also northern ireland but they just aren't cool enough and the isle of man is just too small

  • If this vid was titled try not to laugh, I would of lost

  • he still did a better job than chris did in his interview. To be honest though, I have almost no knowledge of England incredibly long history.

  • Congradulations, every history teacher you ever had just commited suicide.

  • So wait... are they saying British should know about who's on a dollar bill?

  • sad part is i bet alot of Americans don't know some of this either

  • @St3lCry35 yah, sorry these are actually VERY obvious questions. im putting my money on that most of us do know these.

  • @zc630 dude its a joke im American too i was just trying to make a joke

  • @St3lCry35 ahhh, well not many people here are joking, so sorry bout that

  • bull shit we are not that stupid

  • Everyone This video is a joke, it was to get us chuckling at a guy who was ACTING. English Schools Teach English History. American Schools Teach American History. If English People Dont Know Something About America its because england couldnt give a shit about america, and america couldnt give a shit about england.

    both have great historys, power and pride, but we decide to talk shit about each other because this is the Internet.stfu and be proud of YOU'RE country.

    Ps: we have to kill australia

  • @iRaaaGexHD So like...how do you explain his answers about World War 2? Or Vietnam? Guess they don't teach geography either. Just saying.

  • @abarainosa Again, They >ACTED<

  • @iRaaaGexHD I can see how you might think that, but they just spring this on each other. They've talked about it on the podcasts before.

  • @iRaaaGexHD I hope the 'kill australia' remark was a pathetic attempt at humour....

  • @Shadow1xx =D

  • @iRaaaGexHD uhh. he's not acting.

  • @TEAMINORITYSPOWNAGE In England we learn about World war 2 at a very young age and we continue to learn about it throughout our school life, now unless he is mentally challenged (clearly not ) or if he is a Chav (Clearly not) he WILL know that world war 2 didnt start in the 1800s. Therefor he must be acting.

  • @iRaaaGexHD You've never seen someone fail a class? If you've listened to the podcast you'd realize how dumb Ben is in a certain subect, but he's good at coding. Plus Gavin on headlight fluid?

  • @TEAMINORITYSPOWNAGE I havent actually seen anyone fail class, And i havent actually listened to the podcast so if he is dumb then im sorry, my bad.

  • @iRaaaGexHD bring it on

  • @warringah08 no thanks.

  • @iRaaaGexHD Ben admitted on the RT podcast he wasn't acting. He was ambushed with this interview and those were his legitimate answers. And I don't expect him to know American history, but I expect him to know his own country's history. In the sponsor's cut of this on the site, he thought America gained independence from Germany.

  • @iRaaaGexHD however, Ben actually didn't know any of this stuff

  • @iRaaaGexHD And also it is Your country not you are (you're) country

  • @iRaaaGexHD Re: P.S. Nope, We have to kill America.

  • @iRaaaGexHD Thats not true. I have apsoltuly no interest in American history, yet I could have answered most of those questions.

    Although I thought he did quite well, until he made the mistake about the dates of WW2 - quite unforgivable

  • @iRaaaGexHD this was on the spot

  • @iRaaaGexHD

    they said he wasn't acting on the podcast...

    and vietnam location,getting from America to england and when world war started are things that should be taught in English schools.

  • wow. this is the first idiot brit i have seen ever

  • Irish history rocks. Thought I'd put that out there.

  • why does kerry and ben look like they're 14?

  • @wbtrio That was Gavin this is Ben

  • 1:55 watch ben's collar.... SUPER TWITCH 

  • this i painful, even if it is fake

  • Stop taking it seriously people its a joke the guy is acting...

  • The guy is acting obviously

  • i know them because the gamble...

  • 52 states?

    i bet gavin knows more

  • Benjamin Franklin wasn't a president Burnie...

  • @Nepez123 trick question you didn't get it ;l

  • stupid brit

  • "1850"...

    "Germany tried to attack America with like a missile or something"

    Haha brilliant.

    1939-1945

    and Germans attacked the American supply ships coming into Britain?

    I believe?

  • I knew everything except who was Bill Clinton's vice president

  • i'm british and i'm 14 and i could probably answer alot of these questions

  • I LOVE that anyone takes this seriously, its obviously a joke stop saying "oh English are dumb blah blah". this is a joke video so chill out u morons....english history better :P xxxx

  • @spencera11 actually on the podcast they explain that ben actually thought these were the answers, burnie did this because he thinks ben is an idiot.

  • @spencera11 it is a joke, but his responses are unscripted.

  • that english guy is a fucking dipshit

  • @Mrblob100 no u are

  • i don't think that people are realizing that all of this is a joke... their asking him this because he doesn't know any of it.

  • @That8BitGamer they're*

    

  • @jac619

    You just go 'oh we won the war oh we win every war *coughvietnamcough*

  • He taught me...... that Abraham was the first president with a tall hat. The heck man go sit in a corner.

  • Potato

  • ok 1 in 3 americans are obese 

  • @TheJamie11118 1 in 4 british are obese.

  • this kid is clearly retarded. In England you learn about wwII in basically every year of your education, evryone knows the answers to these questions, i hate him.

  • how the fuck can Burnie keep such a straight face through that

  • @makcpuzun He is around stupidity everyday of his life.

  • Shit. I'm 13 and I can answer all these questions as I am Canadian

  • RT trolls rather well. Ben works for RT, obviously staged. - derp -

  • @TimothyLaFavio You've obviously never listened to the podcasts.

  • hes gotta be trolling us...

  • export him

    

  • that teen is dumb im 12 and i could answer all of thoughs

  • @prawn2003 correctly

  • Us Brits have a far superior accent, school system, everything. When you yanks say you saved our arses in ww2, which we learn about when we are 10, and know that it started in 1939, not 1850, we could of won without your help, you saved your own arses, not ours. Though thanks for the help, bastards

  • @Forveraloneguy how did we save our own arses? We werent getting attacked by germany at all and it was Winston Churchill who asked us to help you with the Germans before going after the japanese. And its not like we didnt lend you a fuck ton of materials and planes during and before the US was involved in the war. Stating that you have superior accents is just an opinion.

  • @Forveraloneguy "could have won without our help" really? REALLY?!? did you know that the RAF was down to around 150 planes when the US joined the war? )the RAF was the only thing that defended britain during the blitzkrieg). do you really think you could have won?did you know, the original American plan was to stay out of the war, make peace with germany after they have taken over europe, and all n' all, not give a crap? japan changed that, and thats what saved your butt. a

  • @zc630 Neither side could have won without eachother.

  • Bloody hell, this isn't funny.

    If it wasn't for England you americans wouldn't even exist.

    British schools are better than american, that's sure.

    Why don't you tell me about British history?

    Please, bitch.

  • @MrsStyles99 Um... I have you know that the education system here isn't any better, and this guy obviously is stupid if he doesn't know where Vietnam is (south america? please). Compare yourself to someone who went to Yale. Not so dumb now are they >:P

  • @TopShadowman It's pretty obvious that this guy is an actor :P

    So, that someone who went to Yale must be very smart then, I mean they rated Yale the fourth best university in the whole world! But, do you know what's funny? They rated Cambridge the first best university in the world, officially, and guess what, it's in the UK. But it doesn't matter, because I asked who did the video to tell me about British history, not a Yale student :P

  • @MrsStyles99 if it wasn't for England you americans wouldn't even exist" i believe it was the spanish that sent Columbus to America. sorry, but we would in fact exist.

  • Oh, shit! Forgot the irony, Burnie was actually born in england. LAWL!

  • So much hate... :(

  • This is a pretty funny video but its annoying how a lot of Americans seem to think that everywhere learns about American history when it doesn't its Country specific British people like myself learn British history Americans learn American history, Swedish people learn Swedish history etc etc. And that kid was a moron by anyones standards

  • I'm American and I want to punch this kid.

  • @EdgeVideos413 Im english and your obese.

  • @EdgeVideos413 i'm british and i want to punch that kid

  • All this was meant to say is that British teens are just as empty headed as American teens.

  • It's honestly real

  • Brits had a total retard and how come that kid did not did not ask the american some questions

  • ppl listen to podcast 121, this wasn't scripted. for the most part, THIS IS REAL!!!!!!!

  • doesn't matter where this kid is from. he's retarded. ww2 in 1850.... indeed

  • tbh it is quiet funny to read all these comments :P

  • there are idiotic british people insulting americans here there are idiotic americans insulting this kid and british here and there are also british people insulting this kid. you guys are all sad he doesn't need to know about american history i know lot of things about american history and i don't know any of them from school you guys need to stop crying and make america vs ancient history after this.... (neither british nor american)

  • wow, you are so funny making fun of the people who actually made you exist. Without us YOU WOULDNT BE THERE! And have you not noticed what language you're speaking, did you not notice that half your towns and places are named after places in England? New YORK, BOSTON, New ENGLAND and so on! And now its your turn, go on, tell us about British history. You people disgust me....

  • YOU MUST HAVE DRAGGED THIS ENGLISH GUY OFF THE STREET!!!!

    I KNOW MORE THAN HIM AND IM FROM ENGLAND!!!

    *fucking dumb ass bitch*

  • Ok Americans, now tell us English History..

  • @VrvraKk700 better yet, now ask Americans about American history
