"You can meander, but is it aimless?"
-The great philosopher, Gavin Free, 2014
119pieman existentialist philosophy with Dr. Free.🧐
Also 'someone' it's a meanderer, not a meandering.
And now....Deep Thoughts with Gavin Free.
Not all those who meander are lost.
Also doesn’t know that June 21st is the 3rd of the month XD
The Let's Play where Geoff almost shit, puked, and passed out all at the same time.
+FriendlyFire2830 23:58
+Chex2331 look at the day night cycle in the window it took gavin 5 days to get the wrong answer
+FriendlyFire2830 *the* let's play? As if it hasn't happened more than once? XD
Gavin: So do these kids get paid?
Me and OG: (laughing to the grave)
Nah, that's the MLB lets play
Ray bullying Tom was the best part of this Let's Play.
And also gavin's June 14 part.
Best part of Ray's career
I miss Ray he is one of the raysons I stopped watching AH and Let’s Play
True story. Tom never made it home that night because I *BEAT* *THE* *SHIT* OUT OF HIM IN THE PARKING LOT!
YOU SEE HOW SOME OF TOM'S FINGERS WEREN'T WORKING?I SMASHED THEM WITH A HAMMER.
SpamReciever420 when was this?!?
My G a bit late but around 11:10
to this day i don't understand the knight, needle and now question
The question was about words which had similar prefix pronunciation (knight/needle). Starting with an “n” sound. Geoff answered as if the question asked what words sound the same in their entirety (knight/kite). Geoff focused on the suffix sound of “ite/ight.” “Now” grammatically could be correct, but for some reason the only correct answer was needle.
@@CarlosFernandez-fh1lj I understand what Geoff did. I'm confused as to the needle and now part. The beginning sounds the same
Micheal: It's June 7th!
Gavin: Is it really...
I'm crying rn :'D
Ryan: No, GOD, no!
You know, it wasn't that long ago that I was in grade school, and I never remember being taught the historical origins of poetry or french pronunciations of words.
Come to think of it, I don't think I ever went over that stuff all the way through college.
This is like "Who wants to be a Millionaire" but designed to make you feel stupid.
Pretty much. xD
Tabula Rasa Gaming (TRG Plays) I'm pretty sure they get away with giving bullshit questions like that by saying *insert child here* knows this stuff that we told them backstage just now, and (s)he's only in fifth grade!
Me too and im getting my PHD...
Tabula Rasa Gaming (TRG Plays) My high school English teachers taught me about the origins of poetry, specifically iambic pentameter, and how it was designed to be easy to remember since actors sometimes had to learn scripts in hours. But that was high school, not elementary school.
Not to mention in a highschool sophomore the only time Phoenicia was ever mentioned was my geography class last year
11:42 True story.
Hi Tom! ☺
And Tom was never found again some suspect Ray as the killer. But it is still unconfirmed
+Jan Moors *ALLEGEDLY*
Around 11:00
Maybe that's where Ray's been this whole time, he was just in prison for brutally slaughtering Tom after this Let's Play...
+Jan Moors
How can a ghost kill someone?
Brownman strikes again
PICK TOM!
Fuck you Tom
Hey you watch this?
Tom is in the hospital. He got power bombed through his desk, then beat up in the street. Mystery is who did it?
Oh Tom you
lol hey tome your a dragon ball z abridged reference
geoff laughing his ass off when gavin was struggling with the 3rd wednesday of june question was the best part of that whole thing oh my god
It's just... it's just wrong. There aren't 1000 ounces in a pound, and "NOW" and "NEEDLE" both start with the same sound as "KNIGHT,"
A good trivia game at least needs to have correct trivia.
Saying the three out loud, I feel like "NOW" is closer to "KNIGHT" then "NEEDLE"
That math question. I had to hold onto my desk I was laughing that much,
The date one was ever better! xD
I lost it on the date one! LOL
Date one is beautiful!
The date one was too much. I was in pain with how much I was laughing. Gavin was sooooo close to getting it right and then he just... it was too funny.
Geoff's beginning sound question was bad too. It would've been fine if he picked now, but he just went full stupid there
I can't be the only one that laughed at Gavin when he said "You can meander, but is it aimless?" right? He sounded and got really philosophical out of nowhere with that statement XD
9:19 - Geoff's "Knight"
20:59 - Gavin's "Wednesday"
GeoCuber *tips fedora*
I still don't fucking get why "now" is wrong but "needle" is right. Gavin and Jack are right.
Distracted Globe Productions It has to be an accent thing, that's the only thing that makes any sense to me. I absolutely would have gone for now over needle
Distracted Globe Productions it’s a long n vs short n sound. It’s bullshit but if you sound them out it makes sense.
Knight is /naɪt/, Needle is /'ni:dəl and now is /naʊ/. I answered this above, but actually needle is the wrong answer. The phonetic transcription has knight and now beginning with the same sound only. They also don't teach this in k12 so technically needle and now should still both be the correct answer. Unless teachers have just given up (which kinda think they have to be honest)
This is my first time watching LetsPlay.
Now I shall watch more. That bit about June was hilarious.
You still like it? 😀
@@jjv2cantrememberlogindetai363 hey I was gonna ask
busterbackster1
Haha
Who the hell learns the French language in first grade?
A French child.
My 5 year old sister can count to 50 in French.
I'm 15 and can count to 20.
Most Canadian elementary schools teach french immersion or teach core french from kindergarten to grade 9/12
Carlos Abrego Well that's because Canada is a French/English country. Both languages are spoken pretty much equally.
Not really unless you're in Quebec, and they also do Spanish immersion in some areas
As someone who's training to be a Speech Language Pathologist, that Needle/Now question was total bullshit. Both have the phonemic /n/ sound, exactly the same as the first sound in knight.
I think the question was asking for the actual sound from the first letter and vowel. So, needle has a 'neee' sound and now has a 'nuh' sound. Knight also has a 'nuh' sound. Perhaps that's what the question was asking.
knight: /naɪt/
needle: /niːdl/
now: /naʊ/
yeah, i think 'now' should have been the correct answer as well.
Knight and needle has a "e/i" pronunciation after the "n" sound, whilst now has a more "a" related pronunciation. This makes "needle", sound more like "knight" than "now".
So for the official American English language, needle would be the most likely candidate.
nidroNsungaM Mostly likely, but still not correct. It's "knight," not "kneet."
ihatemylifenot yes, you do "nuh-eet" or "nah-eet" depending on your dialect, its a diphthong
Yes because first graders are learning French.. This show is bogus
I've been learning French as part of the curriculum from the age of four. But it might me different in the U.S.
Eve brown most don't but i went to an immersion school so all classes were french and by 1st grade all those words were basic vocab lol
fanzaz54 the only languad i need to speak is american :P
English* there's no such thing as a language called American. We speak English xD
twilightfan7650 i know XD
Holy shit. I'm only 1/3 of the way through the video, and I've already seen one wrong answer (fucking ZHEE, are you kidding me?) and one question with TWO FUCKING CORRECT ANSWERS (knight). Terrible trivia game.
Knight only had one correct answer and it was Needle. Now does not have a similar sound to Knight compared to Needle. Say the words and you'd notice that.
Just 'saying the words' doesn't work as everyone has different accents. For me, they all sound the same. For someone else, all three words may start with completely different sounds. I have taught phonics and you teach 'kn___' words, and 'n___' words. Needle and Now are too similar for there to be a correct answer.
sirprintalot you taught it yet you don't know why needle is the right word? I can see you getting fired.
Steve Yaged and you're a random idiot who got into the conversation. Guess who's worse.
The letter "J" is indeed pronounced like 'zhee' and sounds like a "G." Now on the other hand, "G" in French is pronounced 'jay' to sound like "J." It's basically the opposite in France.
This lets play had me in tears! xD so freaking hilarious when Ray is angry!
June 14? Holy shit I love Gavin!
Gavin had me knocking on heavens doors! Jesus Christ! I could NOT breath!
That "knight" question is bullshit. There's two answers that begin with that right sound.
I just randomly saw this video today, and was shocked to see a familiar face in the comment section!
And yeah, I was thinking the same thing about that question.
Quality assurance testing? What's that?
Nah it's a short n vs long n, I can't remember what grade it was in but it's phonetics. Idk what americans learn but I wouldn't expect any kid to know that.
Knight is /naɪt/, Needle is /'ni:dəl and now is /naʊ/. That's the phonetic transcription for each of those 3 words. Needle is actually the wrong answer because it's phonetic transcription is /'n where as now perfectly matches knight with /n. However they definitely aren't teaching phonetic transcription to k12 students so that entire question is garbage as the answer should be now and needle.
I learned phonetics in elementary school and I am now in high school...
KimmimaruSai Except it was supposed to be a 2nd grade question and it was actually the other way around. Now matches up with knight and not needle based on the way it is emphasized
They need to do an animation of the June third fail...please God
It starts at 21:00 if anyone is interested
Jason Doe the best part is that in 2017, May 3rd is actually on a Wednesday
20:56, Come on Gavin, I'm autistic and I got that one XD
Well, if anything that would give you an advantage, since one common trait of autism is better abstract reasoning skills. Besides, he got it right then changed his answer when everyone started yelling at him. I think the pressure melted his brain.
Alan Brock I think he only hovered over the right answer in the first place because of intuition rather than either a mathematical or a logical conclusion.
elitefencer777 I think that's how Gavin does everything.
It wouldn't be if we had any reason to believe Gavin had actually thought it through that much. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Gavin is stupid in the conventional sense; if anything, that just makes it funnier.
rodgamer Lol are you sure about that bud?
Ray: "True story; Tom never made it home that night cause I beat the sh*t out of him!"

The entire calendar bit.
Best parts of this let's play😂😂
I'm French and that's absolutely not how we pronounce the letter "J". None of the possible answers were right...
yeah i was thinking the same thing lmao
It's an American television program, be lenient
@@High_Priest_Jonko Do it right or don't do it.
You have to read it as being spelt by an English speaker though. «J» is pronounced 'ji' which in English terms is the sound of the 's' in 'measure' and the 'long E' sound, so 'zhee' would be a sensible way to spell it phonetically. How would you have wanted them to spell it?
@@kourii You're really gonna correct a 4 year old comment on a 6 year old video, lol?
what kind of 1st through 5th grade questions are these
1st and 2nd grades learn french?
seanreaper2398 if these are real questions for 1st-5th grade, then the questions must include private schools as well
darkmatt1578 these must be private school questions cause you start learning french in high school not 1st or 2nd grade
seanreaper2398 I think we can learn Spanish starting at 5th grade, but we don't learn French until high school if I am right. (I go to a private school.)
I go to a private school, and I did not learn French in 1st-5th grade.

SCHLIEßEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Gavin Free, 2014
"What happens now?"
"Now you get to pick a child too keep." Jack was definitely the highlight of this train wreck.
I'm pretty sure Gavin was....
gavin getting the date question wrong was funnier imo
***** *Is
xParanoiaAgentx But that was accidental humor.
Personally, gavin being a complete idiot was the highlight
Um last time I watched Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader (in America), I was under the impression that it was a game show that tests you to see if you are smarter than the average *American* 5th grader.
Soooo why in the fuckery is there a question for the french word for "shut" in the 2nd grade category?!?! What public elementary school in the US is teaching French to 2nd graders!?! I didn't learn the french word for shut until 9th grade, but that's because I chose to learn that language! This is some bullshit, lol.
You kidding me? I'm in such a shit poor district that I don't even have the option to take French at any point of my public school career.
Yea, it was kinda annoying watching this considering how poorly made the questions were.
Right? I didn't take French until my Junior and Senior year in high school!
I was actually mandated to take french from 2nd grade to 8th grade, the only years I didn't have to take it was high school
elementshero89
We were meant to learn Spanish, actually, but after fifth grade they cut it.
So I can believe that it could go both ways--it depends on the region and how much the local government views the education budget as less of an investment and more of a till to reach into whenever they want to cut taxes to stir up base support.
It was literally impossible for the answer to be anything other than the 21st.
What. The. Fuck.
*****
No he has a point. When you word it like that sure it sounds dumb but outside of math every answer is possible, within limits of course, 28 is to big 14 is to small and Gavin is a moron
TheDark4light
Thank you, apparently I wasn't clear enough for the gavin fanboys.
TheRandomSkillz i thought that at the very beginning. 28 requires 4 weeks and 14 can't go past 2 weeks. When he was on the answer and pressed 21 i was screaming lock in lmao.
This show is complete bullcrap. XD
I don't know most of these questions. Honestly, what 2nd grader learns French unless they learn it online or from family? I've never heard of a public school that forces 2nd grade kids to learn a language.
What the fucking hell. Of course many schools and 2nd graders study more than english. By that time, we were studying spanish, french, english and galician. Then in 3rd grade, when I moved to america french was still a compulsive option. What kind of school did you go to??? Because learning languages since you're practically a kid is pretty damn important to become something.
Scrunch Meehehe
Shh
I went to a crappy school, honestly.
Scrunch Meehehe
Would love to point out, no public school and the majority of private/charter schools in the world do NOT start a third language in primary schools, nor do they go anywhere as in depth in science, world geography, math, history, or health. Those questions are pulled from 6th grade and up
://ReaperReaper In california in the first and second grade we had to take spanish when I was a kid, as well as 6th and 7th grade requiring you to take either a full year of french or spanish. Both are considered primary school so you are wrong.
adwilif that's a nice pot of bullshit. California curriculum does NOT include Spanish in primary school, which is grades k-5 in the US, 1-6 in the UK, which their first grade is kindergarten in the US.
Gavin almost killed me with laughter
Oh my god my sides are hurting.
Fucking june 14. God he is an idiot
trevor kingrey Sometimes Gavins says random facts that are really interesting like the tooth enamel one and then he does that lol.
Im just joking about gavin just how did he get june 14 XD
The worst part is he had the right answer to begin with then he changed
9:17 This question makes no sense. If it means the pronunciation "n" then there are two possible answers but if it means the pronunciation of "ni" then none of the answers are correct...
Tom was later found dead with both his legs broken and several dislocated fingers. Police only found a red rosé & a Puerto Rican cigar at the crime scene, leaving little traces & no clues of who the assailant was.
Cop: "X-Ray and Vav, the police has asked you both for help on Tom's murder case because we have no idea who the killer is, any idea on who it may be?"
X-Ray: "Uhhh... I'm pretty sure Jeff Foxworthy is the killer."
Vav: "So if its the third Wednesday of June, then..."
The flourish on the 'e' is what did it for me - I nominate this comment for the 'Best thing I've ever read on UA-cam' award.
It’s just rose, not rosé
What the fuck are they teaching these kids, I don't know half of this stuff and I am a Senior in high school.
Agreed.
Pretty much all of it was useless anyway.
Well it's just random knowledge that would have been on some quiz or something. Nobody would know it unless it is what they were studying, even if it is 2nd grade stuff. Some of it is just bullshit, though.
I always thought it was questions from like private schools or like a higher level of intelligence fifth graders and like three questions related to a public school level. or its just random bullshit.
It's probably that aswell
Anyone else playing the shit out of Watch Dogs right now? :D So much fun!
Yeah. Driving feels a bit sluggish but its okay.
It's over-hyped
Got early, finished the story today after about 50 hours. Hell of a game.
It's a great game so far
awesome game, but like LinqxGaming said, over-hyped
So many problems with this game.
1. It has unreleastic expectations of school kids. What American 1st Grader knows French? I finished High School and I don't know French. The game thinks 2nd Graders should know all the state shapes and their border relations, yet I didn't learn that till 4th grade. And 5th Graders should know how big the moons of Jupiter are? I didn't even study ANY kind of Astronomy until 8th Grade.
2. Buggy. The "Knight" question proves that.
3. It's subjective. "Who had the first great Navy in the Mediterranean?" What defines "great"? Is it relative to the rest of the region, in which case 2 military ships can mean great? Is there a set number of ships? Is it based on number of ships, quality of ships, or quality of soldiers? How organized a command structure do you need to be "great"?
This is why I stopped watching the show long ago. It's so stupid.
I know right, that last question alone had 3 possible answers! Phoenicia was the first to have a vast ammount of ships, but most of them were used for commerce, so i don´t know if you could consider them a navy. Greece was the first to have a legit naval army capable of warding off invaders. And Italy (technically Rome, but they want countries) had the first navy that was used to conquer on a large scale. Man fuck this shit.
Minoans were far before Phoenicians, if they were going to go down the semantics route (as they did) then it should have been the Minoans. But no, the people who made the game are even dumber than 5th graders, so I guess I can't expect that much from them.
When did the show ever say American 5th graders?There’s 5th graders in French.
Fadesound Then why is there fucking English questions and then questions about the Mediterranean. How could a single child know knowledge of English, French, and the Mediterranean all at once?
You can take foreign language classes other than Spanish in many schools.
The victory animation for correct answers looks like the shower puppet controlled by Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone 2
I couldn't handle that calendar question. Just look at it. For one, the number of days in JUNE has NOTHING to do with the question. Secondly, you can just simply look at the answers. You have four answers, all of which are multiples of 7. You're asked for the THIRD Wednesday.
I love ya, Gavin....but holy shit, man!
If Gavin stopped and looked at the answers more closely I'm sure he would have figured it out but he focused on trying to do the math in his head and eventually just picked a random answer because he got frustrated. Honestly, I didn't get the question either because I was in the same boat as Gavin, trying to count out the days instead of looking at the answers to see if there was an easier way.
Plus he's not the one who said that kite starts with the same sound as knight.
DrBreakfastMachine no Gavin didn't understand the questions
DrBreakfastMachine To be fair to Geoff.....there were two correct answers....or none at all....
lugialover09 That's even worse. There were two correct answers to choose from and HE GOT NEITHER OF THEM.
Actually the number of days in June DOES matter, at least determining whether it has 30 or 31 days, to then determine how many days May has. If May 3rd falls on wednesday, and may has 31 days, then June 1st falls on a thursday so answer is 21st. But if May has 30 days, june 1st is a wednesday, thus the third wednesday is the 15th.
In case anyone is confused about the math one at 18:30 , the answer is 92.
832 (total games) - 462 (games won) is 370 (games lost)
then you subtract 370 from 462 and there's the answer! 92!
Thank you i thought i was stupid :P
You're welcome!
Thanks!

+SailorMoon998 The fact that people are confused by this is why America is failing education wise...
Ryan teaching Gavin like he'd do his children
Gavin's question on the rotation of the earth was poorly worded. The east to west bit was implied as a statement rather than part of the question.
***** for it to be poorly worded whats the sense in that?!?!?!
KonKarnage The show is made up to make grown-ups make a fool of themselves on national TV... There's the sense ;)
No, it was terrifically worded. All points on the surface of the Earth (except the poles) constantly travel to the East. ***** (suitably) identified it as a trick question, and it's tricky in exactly the way that it tricked Gavin.
tibschris Trick questions aren't hard, they're just stupid.
That is the part of the question you /don't/ need to read, because that's stating a fact. Gavin starts reading, realises he knows the fact, then moves on to the question part of the question. Trick questions are designed for smart-arse 10 year olds who don't know anything, so instead get easy questions like that.
Tatyboy1337 Maybe it's because I'm an astrophysicist so that particular question couldn't trick me. A better question would have been "which way does the Earth rotate to cause the Sun to appear to rise and set? [East] [West]"
Yeah, questions that _intend to trick_ aren't fair. This is just a poor game all-round.
Gavin is right. The German ß is not a b. It is pronounced the same, almost, as the English "ss".
all I learned is that math STILL sucks!
William Siravo *I* got all the math problems right...
***** Nobel Prize winner right here.
*****
pffft, I wish.
***** Same here
I didn't learn any of this when I was 8.
The show in one sentence
I did! X3
I would say most of these questions were targets around my 7th grade year.
i remember learning how to speak fluent French in first grade
first fucking grade
Nobienify wore you born in France? Or did your parent teach you it?
The Perkaholic thief i was joking
I only know how to say hi in French
Nobienify
Ya same
It's Bonzheeor
That fucking French question.
Nobody ever pronounces "J" as "Zhee". I don't think there are even any Oriental languages with that pronunciation.
It is either a soft G, a Y, or an H. Franks (and Brits among a few others) say the former, Germanics say the middle, and most romance languages say the latter (Spaniards, etc).
Pet peeve.
Veyraa Ceyrsilde I thought Zhee makes a "Jjjjee" noise, you hold J out a bit long and ee
I know no one is gonna care, but I was so pumped I got the Phoenicia one.
I care buddy. I care.
Greece was a good answer, i forgot about Phoenicia. i believe they settled Carthage
erisd123 They did!
When said Navy I thought of Phoenicia initially but when Geoff picked Greece I thought of military wise, but the questions was not specific to that so yeah I thought Phoenicia
Really, people? Every time I look at the comments I see people whining at Jack for being himself. First you want him to talk more. Now you want him to stop talking. See, this is what made JonTron leave Game Grumps. As soon as he left, people were whining that it wasn't the same without him. I'd bet if Jack left, people would do exactly the same thing. As far as I'm concerned, Jack (if you're reading this), keep doing what you're doing at RT. And when people complain, which they will, just rub it in their faces that you've got a job at a great company that the majority of the fanbase would kill for. And enjoy relishing in your victory.
Jack is fucking legend!
The beard will destroy all who oppose it and enslave the trolls of youtube !!!

Wait... I haven't seen anyone post anything about Jack on this vid before your comment... I agree though, Jack might not be the most extravagant, but he is great at what he does.
I'm in high school and I'm just learning some of these... I highly despise this show because these fifth graders must be going to freaking Top notch private schools

Yeah same shouout to detroit
Jacob Moon Fuck yourself
THANK YOU
Seriously, what was up with that Knight/Needle/Now question? Are one or two of those words pronounced differently than I've been taught my whole life?
They all begin with the alveolar nasal, or /n/. It's probably one of those elementary school things they teach kids in order to (supposedly) simplify it, only for them to later learn that what they thought they knew is total bullshit.
Even on the real life show, they have bullshit answers for some of their questions. In some cases they've had flat out wrong answers.
Nope, now is like how, needle is like beetle (but with a d sound instead of t of course). So either of those answers could have been correct technically.
Well, if i had to choose one, it would definitely be 'Now'. They asked for a word starting with the same sound, and Knight/Now start with hard n while Needle starts with soft n, so i don't get why it's needle... I'm not sure if americans make the difference though.
Knight starts with "nu", now starts with "nu". I think this is correct because nothing else makes sense while if you sound it out my way sort of sounds right in a way.
Geoff's laugh can cure cancer :3
Fails of the Weak no.1 right there.
I think that saying it can cure cancer takes it a little too far. I know you didn't mean to make it offensive, but just think a little more about what you say in comments. I hope that you will take this into consideration.
Trust me, I'm always very careful when posting comments online, if only because I'm not a native speaker and every word I choose I think about if it's right or wrong in context. I don't see anything offensive about my comment. Not only is the focus of it clearly positive, it doesn't begin to compare to all the rape and death threats and curses people post daily on all kinds of outlets. True, as horrible as it is, cancer is a real thing. But nowhere did I mitigate cancer or it's effects; instead I focussed on the extreme positive effect of Geoff's laugh. Happiness can cure mental hurt and that too can effect a person's physical health. Those who get depressed during the process of fighting cancer are more likely to stay sick longer, or never get better at all, compared to those who have a fighter-mentality. I'm sure most people can feel that positivity which fuels a good attitude in this video. So, in a sense, there is truth in my comment.
And, some well-meant friendly advise... if you really found that comment offensive, I suggest you never travel to the Low Countries. People wish all kinds of horrible deaths and diseases upon each other every day. Unless you can handle a healthy daily dose of 'I hope you get the typhus and die in a ditch', you might wanna stay away...
Nyrata It's a sad day when someone who is "not a native speaker" can type out a better paragraph, with better grammar and more complex words than half of the native speakers that post comments on youtube.
I understan fully what you mean. What I meant was that the people woth cancer may be thinking about it negativley thats all.
when Gavin said he couldn't figure out the math on the wild card at around 19:00, i felt an incredible urge to fly to Austin just to explain it, I live in Canada.
pie41games Where r u from?
Scott Knight I think Canada... :P *sarcasm intensifies*
Shoutout to the Northwest Territories!
Hey yo from Ontario!! :P
alberta here... y'all
7 years later and instill don't fucking get the knight needle question
Knight starts with a Ni sound, while Needle starts with a Ne sound
Like Ni-ght vs Ne-ed
I love the Achievement Hunter logic:
-Make fun of people for calling it trivia Tuesday
-Only release game-show let's plays on Tuesdays
(I'm not defending anyone or mocking the AH crew, just pointing it out.)
Well, they just dont want to put themselves in another box where every tuesday, they HAVE to upload or else the fans get cranky.
***** You're right, knowing the price of a washing machine by heart is definitely not trivial information.
Wow, Geoff's question about what word begins with the same sound as knight was bullshit. Gavin and Jack are right that "now" and "needle" should not both be options
Um... Knight makes a Nye sound, now makes a Naow sound Needle makes Knee.. Wait a second. That IS Fucked up. Just because the host of the show may say it like Nydle doesn't mean that everyone else does lol.
Seriously, this game is so awful, it's like no one proofread the questions and answers xD
The state border ones are fucked up too. Even if you were able to recognize the state, WHICH border is it talking about? Pretty sure every state except for Alaska and Hawaii border multiple other states.
Not to mention the two math questions Gavin got. There's no way a fifth grader would be able to do either of those in their heads, let alone most adults.
Spoiler Alert: the achievement hunters are not smarter than 5th graders.
Damn, who would've guessed
Not big surprise.
geoff's guy looks like the "deez nuts" guy
In french J isnt prononce zhee, how the fuck do americans learn french?
They don't that's the problem. xD
They're too busy learning Spanish(which in a lot of ways is similar to French)
Americans do learn French but remember, not all people know French. Also, not all people learn Spanish. At my school we have both French and Spanish but we also have Chinese, Russian, Italian, and Greek. Americans might most commonly use those languages but that doesn't mean all of us do.
The question was confusing. It would make more sense to say how is the letter pronounced when it's not in a word.. I wouldn't necessarily say zhee but it's close enough.
Marcus Bradley I would say it's jay.... with a soft J... xD Not close to zhee at all in my opinion, all though I agree a lot of the questions were a little confusing and worded weirdly xD
Im not saying its not their fault if they got it wrong, the answer was wrong. In french J isnt prononce zhee, Im mad because they teach wrong stuff and I hope french teacher dont teach that to their students.

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"
- Michael Jones, 2014
Just gonna casually watch these old gems and pretend the current implosion of RT isn't happening. These are all good people, blah, blah, blah, I can't hear you right now.
“I hope no fifth graders are watching this video” - Gavin, I was in 5th grade when this video first came out and yes I watched it then
I find it hard to believe 2nd graders knew what the French word for shut is
if you knew anything about any other languages, and it's possible a lot of americans don't because of the schooling, there was only one French-looking word.
Luke Torgerson american schools rarely teach foreign languages before high school, but really who takes french especially in america...
Luke Torgerson We didn't start learning French until Year 5, which I am fairly sure is after Second grade.
BobDoe People in Maine, for one. We're on the border with Quebec.
"ferme les bouches" was my first introduction to the word in french and that was my 8th grade year of middle school.
This is just a really dumb game show, you do not learn most of this stuff in the grade they say, or in elementary school in general, like how many 2nd graders take french?
None
French ones, duh.
Students that live in France
Kevin Fultz let's be honest American children aren't going to learn French.
SuperKamiGuru24 some will, but just not in the 2nd and 1st grade
People are saying Gavin is stupid, but if Gavin is stupid, what does that make Michael and Ray? You guys exaggerate so much.
They didn't fail extremely easy and obvious answers and Gavin is already famous for his incredible stupidity.
Ray is an immigrant. He can't be expected to know the same thing as born and bred Americans.
'MURICA! WHOOOOO! *shotgun blast*
linkno1 lol so is gavin. all his knowledge consists of is tea and "football". not the important stuff like real american football, or guns, or mcdonalds
Alex Warder "Real American Football" is an oxymoron since American football isn't real football. ;) I bet no 5th grader knows that either. lol
linkno1 Can't tell if you're stupid or trolling, oh wait you're stupid because America has one of the worst education system in the world!
hello everyone. long time no see. 💚🖤
I remember this show and hated it because the questions are obviously not elementary school questions. Also, I still don't understand that "Knight" question... someone explain to me how "now" isn't an answer but "needle" is the answer.
now has a harsher annunciation on it because of the "o" while needle is soft much like the "n" in knight which follows the silent k.
Both words have strong "N"
***** its basically when you say needle you say n longer than you would now
snowdogmula "K-night" starts with a strong 'Ni' sound; "needle" starts with a strong 'Ni' sound. Unlike, "Now", which starts with a soft 'Na' sound. :)
ProfuseCompliments ''Knight'' starts with a ''Na'' sound.
can someone please explain the "knight" question? bc that made no sense. 2 answers were acceptable answers
Ya i have no idea what Ryan was saying lol
Knight has the same beginning sound as Needle because of the way the first syllable sounds. Kni, Nee, Remarkable similar. Now has a long O, not the short i and e sound that the question was asking for. Hope that helps!
Something something knights who say nee.
The "kn" in knight is pronounced the same as the "n" in needle
I think it's that knight starts with an Nn sound and so does needle
Gavin is the kid we had to wait on while taking our various state assessment tests.
I'm doing finals right now and there's a guy that looks like him who's dumb as shit
Every classroom has that one guy. Lol.
Ryan Broman
Gavin isn't dumb though. He's playing a character on Achievement Hunter.
HOLyP | Gaming You're right. On videos he's an idiot, but if you listen to him talk about video editing and recording, he's a fucking genius!
***** His failure sounded real enough. The Wednesday thing made me truly question if he dropped out of middle school. I'm sorry, but that seemed too stupid to be fake.
I still dont get the knight question
HOLY SHIT!! I BARELY NOTICED RYAN WASNT PLAYING AND IM AT THE END!!!
O_O I didn't notice it until I read your comment
***** yes...*whispers* yes
"I am not a very smart person" ;) you would lose that game :D I already realised there was only the lads and geoff (because of the screen at 0:37 ;) ) but I also heard ryan's voice and got irritated so I read the comments and I read yours and I don't feel stupid anymore, thank you! :D
Ryan and Jack both weren't playing. Both were just sitting there talking and narrating the entire time.
Dude it's called commentating not narrating
People are calling Gavin the idiot, but he never came last. What dose that make Ray and Michael? Just saying XD
In Ray's defense, Tom fucked him over.
Easy 8 In Ray's defense, Eucalyptus.
NotKanye West When Michael calls you out on something, you know you’ve fucked up because he’s an idiot
Idiots who don’t try and pretend they aren’t
Wtf. Im in ninth grade and the only French I've learned was from Dexters Laboratory. What school teaches second grade french?
Canadian Schools.
French Schools
***** Yeah but then most of us forget it a month later
Same.
LOL I took French this last school year and understood it! XD
Rays character has a nose like Gavin
2nd grade french ? I've lived in many states (military family) and i've only seen high school public schools teach any languages.
Agreed. I'm still in Highschool right now and I can say I definitely didn't learn a foreign language back in 2nd Grade, or in elementary school at all.
***** I learned Greek in elementary school. I don't remember much of it, but I was taught it.
Yeah, really. I'm in college now, but I know one thing is for sure, I was not learning any French in 2nd grade. I was learning a little Spanish on my own time, but not at school. My high school didn't even offer French, lol.
*****
When I was in elementary school we would have like a month long thing on different foreign languages each year just taught basics so we could better choose what language we wanted to pursue.
My Middle School had French (6th - 8th Grade), though I only had it for 7th and 8th Grade.
I feel sorry for Gavin at 23:00, maybe if they'd stopped fucking with him and let him figure it out he would have got it right, some people need to concentrate to do maths.
Ergh, that isn't how I remember the title, isn't it "Are you smarter than a 10-year Old?"
no
This is the shitty American remake
well thats the one on display and what were familiar with. so no,the title of this one is "fifth grader"
Mushroom Smuggler Or the shitty American original
Mushroom Smuggler Well the first episode of "Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader" aired in February of 2007. The first episode of"Are you Smarter than a 10 Year Old" aired in October of 2007. So actually you're watching the remake. Whether it's shitty or not is your opinion though.
3:47 AWWW WHAT IM NOT FRENCH!!
This deserves a Part 2. Funniest game show Let's Play you've done.
Ray and Michael are not going to win (prediction, not a spoiler)...
I'm sorry I love you guys, you guys are funny and everything but they aren't smarter than 5th graders lol
Yeah, actually he does lol
Zack Ceasar I know you're joking, but it's kind of annoying how people think Gavin is not intelligent based on how he plays video games.
He just has terrible luck and executes plans in a poor way.
editsbyshock Gavin is horrible at videogames, but if you watch the podcast, he's pretty smart but idk why but everyone at RT tries to disprove him and make him sound stupid.
John McYourney thank god its not only me
im gonna say all of this bullshit shown as "5th grade questions" are bullshit, im in year 9, basically 10th grade, and i havent learned anything of this sort, and no, its not because im english, as i have lived in america since 5th grade.
The whole show is just who wants to be a millionaire but made to make you feel stupid. If it was all actually 1st through 5th grade questions then everyone would win
Yeah these are totally 5th grade questions, just like those on the show, if 5th grade is equivalent to something you focused on in college (mostly I realize some of them actually are easy)
+Daniel Freeman The best part of your comment is when you wanted to make sure that people understood that you were brought up by the U.S. educational system, and therefore that IS NOT why you don't know these things. That made my giggle. ;)
Yeah, since when did second graders learn french
+AH_Declan M in canada.
Michael's laugh when it said pick a kid, jesus lol
Does the video turn fuzzy for anyone else when they start the game?
Yeah, the video isn't rendered properly.
Yes, yes it does.
Yeah, mine too.
Gavin getting the question wrong wasn't fair because he had the right answer but micheal pressured him to pick the wrong answer. He is always getting teased about being dumb so when micheal started shouting at him he freaked out. :(
Then he deserves it, it shouldn't have taken him more than 25, maybe 30 seconds at most to answer.
Yamil Torres Oh yeah? Lets see you try to solve a problem like that in a room with 5 other people yelling over each other. Lets see how easy it is for you to try and concentrate on that problem with that shit going.
Joe Cheeseman shut the fuck up u mong
Brendan Forston lol your mad cuz i make a perfectly good fucking point, you god damned idiot.
Mich wow many hate
the knights who say needle
ProjectXVR32 this comment is a winner, well done sir
Nice.
Wait how needle sound like knight
Omg, I've watched this plenty of times & everytime I still end up exactly like Geoff when the June question for Gavin came up. Best part of this vid was that entire scene & their reactions.XD
Damn I miss these golden days. I come back to all the og videos to remind myself how achievement hunter was once great and pretty perfect. Miss the original 6.
Wisconsin the MITTEN state? Not Michigan?
Wisconsin. Jack, go Google image mich if an for me and you tell me which looks more like a mitten.
*Michigan
Yeah... as a Michigander I will fight to the bloody death any man who says that the "mitten state" is anything other than Michigan.
One does not mess with the goddamn mitten state.
DealerCamel agreed.
*****
TO THE DEATH SHALL IT BE!
DEATH!
The game was fucked up. Those state border questions made no goddamn sense at all, and Geoff's "Knight" was a trick question.
I can so see Millie (Geoff's daughter) explaining the June Wednesday thing to Gavin and he just gets so frustrated because he doesn't get it and he keeps squaking about the 3rd Wednesday of May.
over 5 years later and Gavin's Wednesday question still has me dying of laughter lololol
Right there with ya
Geoff: "What happens now?"
Jack: "Now you pick a child to keep"
Omg Jack xD xD xD
Ray raging at Tom is still one of my top ray moments in AH
21:03 - 23:43
i oficially started crying XD
I think I learned a lesson from this video:
EUCALYPTUS.
I'm impressed that Gavin corrected them on pronouncing "Schließen".
Oh, shieße
Ryan why
Gavin: "These questions are hard.."
Michael: "Gavin, you got one wrong." Michael.. you got to answer two questions and you answered both of them wrong XD
