No you did Pearl Harbor
No
shut up noel
Ngl I’m first but I just clicked on the notification on accident
Forget NordVPN, I need to see NoelsVPL
Oooh, Alex's trick question was awesome, what a great teacher, what a great trick question. I'm gonna add that to my curriculum.
right on lmao
I don't understand what makes it a trick question isn't it just a normal question?
@@elinorris1739 everything they were talking about was related to a world War so throwing a completely different war while talking about storming beaches was the trick. Noel fell for the trap saying Normandy but completely missed the country
just about what you'd expect from a mf called Bartholomew
@@ineedamilkshake Homies out here really do be named Bartholomew
Not only did Noel think that Normandy was in the U.K, he also thought that the landing there happened in 1965.
France
@@joshentertainment2 France
yo fr are all americans like this? how do they not know this shit?
There also weren’t any Marines in Normandy lmao
@@TheSludgeMan to be fair. They probably know way more about America that we europreans dont know
You can tell Noel and Aleena should be together because their combined knowledge is almost equivalent to a normal person
Lmao
Yooo lmfao
LMAO
it's like two halves of a brain cell came together
I think the real no-man's land is that space between their ears.
Man I’m dogshit at history and I felt like a god damn genius watching them struggle with these grade school questions. The American education system really do be hitting different
they’re canadian 😭
@@soapy7619 no they’re not? Isn’t Alena American? and I think Noel was joking about being Canadian
@@BA-qn7xj Alena is from London
@@BA-qn7xj and no he is Canadian he’s talked about it before
@@taylorelliott9605 really? I genuinely had no idea. I thought only Cody was Canadian. Do you know how long Noel was raised in Canada for? Did he go through the Canadian high school education system? Cuz I’m then I’d be kinda shocked that he didn’t know most of those basic questions lol
This was one of the most painful trivia videos I have ever watched
Man, I loved Alex's Trick Question. It's a shame that it's gonna cost him like 30 Noel-bucks from his next check though
why is it a trick question? isn't it just a normal straightforward question?
And so it should
@@elinorris1739 last couple questions were about ww2, this one wasnt without explicitly saying it
You think he gets that much to begin with?
As a midwesterner I’m more pissed off by Noel calling Idaho the Midwest than by Alena’s joke
lol - same
Facts, but that’s Canadians for you
What do people in Idaho refer to themselves as? Potatoes?
@@jasonvargas7564 there aren't people in idaho
@@dingledonk8027 that’s true I forgot. Nothing but potatoes and wendigos there
Alex's trick question was criminally underrated, psychologically manipulating noel & Alena to the point where both were left in denial of his pure genius. This man was playing mental chess games with them from the very start & left no trace of his master plan leading up to it
You should add it to your curriculum
@@TurnTheCameraOff It's actually gonna be my thesis for my PHD
dude I was so proud when I got that one
@@trishaagz as you should
@@trishaagz As you should
i literally gasped and CHEERED when alex said the fun fact about the british intercepting the code because it is the same cipher that enabled them to get ahead in WWII and develop Turing’s enigma machine and i find that so fascinating!!!!
A bit unrelated but -It sucks that they killed Alan Turing
@@aquaticfishiepompomit really does. I dont often feel 'british' or patriotism but I sure do feel fking shame over how our gov treated Turing
this was genuinely hilarious, we need more of alex's history corner!
fr!!
"Who knows these?"
Guys, I finally figured out why our history seems to keep repeating itself as if we've learned nothing.
I mean I guess if you’re just not interested in world war history you wouldn’t know most of this, it’s still fucking cringe that they dont tho
@@MrDukeSilverr
This is basic knowledge that people learn in school.
And beside that you hear about this stuff all the time.
You have to be a special type of „ignorant“ to not know any of these
@@MrDukeSilverr knowledge is never "cringe." being ignorant isn't cool.
@@fxxalaba3836 ^ i hate history and haven't taken it in 10 years and could answer all of these.
@@MrDukeSilverr imagine thinking that knowing what happened in WWII, ya know, all the stuff w hitler and nazis , is CRINGE 😭😭😭 "ew bro you know roughly how many people died in the holocaust? thats cringe"
feeling united with Alex and my fellow history girlies in this moment
the only time i’ve used my poli sci degree
@@jeanette3915 hahah
STEM but knew most of these
Represent!
Because you didn't know a damn thing either?
Ah yes I remember the dropping of Winston Churchill, nicknamed Fat Man, on Nagasaki as the Japanese Air force chanted "JET! JET! JET!" Probably one of my favorite historical moments.
Definitely one of the most moments in history
To be fair he was very fat and he was a man. He was quite literally a fat man
Looool
@@Purplesquigglystripe 😭
Yeah and it really sucked that Napoleon was rejected from art school because he was short
this is really entertaining, but its also concerning to see people still know so little about basic history
Right?? Like I laughed but now I feel sad lmao
Well they have a more successful life than everybody in the comments telling them they’re dumb so idk if it’s all that concerning lol. They may not know the dates of important events but they know how to make lots of money from doing something they enjoy, which is a LOT more rare.
The fact Noel thought WW1 was going on in the 30s is hilarious
Alena is so nice to Alex very refreshing to see him get praised more than the usual noel bucks.
Ying and yang there alena nice to alex, noel mean to him😂
Well Alex sucks soo…
I love how Noel is still acting like Aleena's answers are dumb even though he's been super wrong too
nah fr. They’re both awful but this guy said Hitler was WW1 he should be banned
that's what I was thinking. low key was worse than Aleena.
its so funny how he asks what the correct answer is and goes ohhh yeah thats right like he knew it 😭😭 motherfucker u didnt
@@jadenia 100% 😂
@@maxschaeffer7228 ngl at first I thought Noel was just into dumb girls but then I realized he was somehow dumber than her and she probably amazed him with her intellectual ability.
"i was thinking vienna"
aleena had previously implied vienna was in italy, and then gave a frenchman as her answer
On top of that Hitler was Austrian, and Napoleon was 100 years earlier
to be fair Napoleon was ethnically italian
Napolean actually was italian
@@jessican7151 no he was ethnically a short king
I'm a history buff and I'm just glad you guys might have actually learned something after doing this video lmao
Pls make this a series it boosted my self confidence so much
I think one of the funniest things that got completely glossed over was at 10:55 when Aleena said Vienna was making her think of Italians lol
Or that napoleon is from Vienna
I mean Austria borders Italy that's not as bad as answering Napoleon
@@ratedpending the borders aren’t why she said it, it’s probably because she was thinking of Venice. And thinks they’re the same place.
Being from Vienna myself it raises the question if "Vienna" sounds Italian to Americans?
@@rear5118 no she confused it with Venice probably lol
make this a series pls as a history major this made me laugh my ass off and as a library science grad student this was horrible and i loved every minute of it
international affairs here - aka world history over and over again im in pain
wtf is library science
Alex needs to continue to host!
The true MLIS experience
Why are we the same person? I'm also an MLIS student who studied History!
Noel and Aleena’s relationship is so amazing I love how they complement each others humor so well
One is smart and the other is literally ratarded.
thanks ksi
@@jassingh6943 it's not later enough yet.
Alex is such a good teacher! Wow what great questions. I will definitely be adding these to my repertoire!
hop off tf
The way Aleena got so excited about wanting to do statistics next was so wholesome.
The question both times was about the years that WW1 & WW2 happened/started and ended, even hinted how many years each one was and Aleena still wrote one year down each time😂😂
noel’s comment about idaho being in the midwest makes me want a geography version of this video
Is Idaho considered west coast? I just assumed west coast was California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada. Arizona I classify as southwest along with Texas and New Mexico. Midwest is Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Oklahoma, Nebraska, the Dakotas (Fanning and Johnson), Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.
@@jasonvargas7564 Midwest is kinda a hard definition because of how different the eastern Midwest is the to the western Midwest. But most people inside the Midwest consider the borders to be Ohio to Kansas and North Dakota. Most people west of those states also do not consider themselves Midwesterners.
@@bigfish3846 that’s interesting. I would have thought they identify more with the people from your definition of Midwest more than “west coast” states since culturally I’d say it’s more similar to Midwest than west coast, politically too.
In a literal sense he’s right, it’s in the middle of the Western half of the country. People calling clearly Easter places like Chicago Midwest is what’s dumb to me. Just a poorly named region
@@bigfish3846 as a Midwesterner (using a corn stalk as an antenna right now) I consider just "the West" being passed Missouri but I don't see a lot of people with that distinction. Really the West is just less industry historically to me.
As a european I want to thank you very much. You made me feel extremely smart for knowing basic history
honestly I was terrible in history and this really bugged me lmao
you're not smart your education system just isn't broken
No just you know basic history we are taught this people just don't care after HS you'd get the same results almost anwhere
nobody cares mr european
1939-1945
Damn people like you guys make me feel really smart😭
Wrong for that💀
@@Nijha.Png. He didn’t lie tho 💀
right 😭
Fr, must be the air in LA or something ngl I might’ve lost some respect for Noel
My eyes almost popped out when she said 100k died in ww2
Alex is like the unsuccessful jester to the king and queen Noel and Aleena. I love it.
The way I SCREAMED "NAPOLEON????????” lmfao
This was… so bold of them to expose themselves like this for content. MAD respect. 😂😂
ALEENA GETTING A QUESTION FROM HER OWN QUIZ WRONG IS THE MOST AMAZING THING IVE EVER SEEN LMFAO
Noel and Aleena forgetting basic knowledge and us knowing the answer to every question is the exact reason why they’re up there and we’re down here
damn this is too real
shocked by noel's performance on this he looks like someone who is really into ww2
shmuel cosplay
I keep laughing at the automotive secrets 😂
Can testify that you don't need to be a history buff to know most of these questions
Noel describing Occam's razor theory without even realizing killed me
Came to the comments to say this
Wait, timestamp?
@@Holocoasterr around 17:17
Was thinking recognition heuristic
yh not entirely sure if its what noel was going for but I get your drift... idk occam is more about complexity over which is more obvious/well known
this should be a series tbh- Alex just quizzes them in a select range each episode
It's honestly brave you even posted this omg, I'm not convinced this isn't just to test how the comments would be... like a social experiment
I want another history trivia video. This was gold.
I feel super smart right now. Thank you Noel and Aleena
Not a very high bar apparently 😂
You’re just basically HS educated
fr we all learned this within the past 4ish years, been a few decades for noel though
@@PedroLucas-nh1mh A few decades?? Man, you wrong for that. xD
@@halatiny6537 so were they
So glad Noel's carer is doing these history flashcards with him, so nice to get into his special interests! 😁
Odds are at least 5 of his family members had a hand in Pearl Harbor considering his racial ambiguity.
@@jasonvargas7564 BROTHER....

ua-cam.com/video/mCfYi7634rU/v-deo.html
She wrote Napoleon with so much confidence, holy shit...
fr it's not even funny atp it's just sad 💀
i was legit thinking the same answer
I want a series where the two of them just do quizzes like this like trivia, I really liked this video
My favorite part was definitely Alex's trick question. Both funny, and educational... A masterpiece compared to the rest of this mid video
I'm absolutely astonished and physically excited about the Vietnam question. good job alex
can you explain to me what made it a trick question? it seems like a straightforward question to me
@@elinorris1739 this whole quiz is about WW1 and WW2 so that’s what Noel and Aleena had in mind, but throwing in a Vietnam question to see if they’d catch it was the trick
Alex is such a great teacher. I’m gonna add his stuff to my curriculum.
As a history buff myself, this was a wonderful quiz Alex. And your trick question was lovely.
Wonderful? More like super easy
changing from jet to plane to clarify is too funny
the napoleon bit literally made my jaw drop LMFAOOOOOOOO
I’m yet another history major begging for this to be a series I just laughed so hard. It’s even funnier knowing Noel said he was getting into WWII stuff in the podcast
As a history major I’m not only screaming internally but I also feel like our k-12 history education is severely lacking and it makes me sad
Or maybe people just tend to forget information they don't use often. Not everyone is a history major. If someone was a math major and called you dumb for not knowing integrals would you think that's fair?
@@TheTGOAC i agree with you like i couldnt answer some of the more specific questions since the last time i took a history class was high school but most of this is pretty common knowledge not exclusive to history majors e.g hitlers domination occurring in ww2 not ww1
@@TheTGOAC These history questions weren't the equivalent of integrals, they were the equivalent of addition and subtraction.
i'd be screaming too if i chose to major in history
@@gdoering8917 Yes, I too talk about the Treaty of Versailles multiple times a day, every day, throughout my entire life, just as I add and subtract things every day of my life.
Can’t wait to see what next guests Alex has on!
Loved this so much lmao. They are so cute together and their answers had me cracking tf up 😂. This should be turned into a series.
I’m sorry but @13:48 confirms to me that Noel was indeed a school bully back in his day 😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀
Noel, please make this a series! This is fire
Noel making fun of Alina for not knowing what the Roaring Twenties was but literally getting the year of the Great War off by 19 damn years...
I love the *annoying little brother energy of Alex
Noel really theorized Occam's razor on his own logic.
14:56 Getting a mid-roll ad for Oppenheimer right as Alex shouts out “BOMB!” was hilarious and great timing 😂
Noel’s gotta stop pretending like he knew that shit after the answer is revealed💀
Noel be getting all the questions wrong and then nodding along to the answer lmaoo
noel’s roasting aleena but they scored pretty much the same points lmao
14:55 should not have made me scream laughing as loud as i did
This NEEDS to become a series.
Wow what a great teacher Alex is! He shows the whits of a veteran historian, his charisma and passion for history is truly inspirational!
I appreciate Aleena's point about her graduating GPA being meaningless without context because I was a straight C student at best and could answer most of these. I also missed about a day of school a week. However, all my teachers loved me, I was in AP classes (they didnt require testing into), and I'd always stay after class to discuss the subject matter further. I love learning! School was just a bad time for me.
Also this is a funny ass video. I ask for more trivia time with Aleena and Nole
This was fucking painful to watch. The more questions were asked the dumber she seemed tbh. This is the first time I have heard her talk but when she said "what does predecessor mean" I actually yelled.
No one asked for you to give your life story in this UA-cam comment section
@@maxgolub558 I dont think most people mind others sharing small things relevant to the video :) That said, this comment has inspired me to give an actual recount of my life now:
You see, it all started on a chilly day in October, 1969. I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms, at night I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep. No one visits me, but I do have a few cats to keep me company. They enjoy Meow Mix. Their names are Winsor and Newton. I like to watch the birds outside my window. Thank you for showing interest
@@maxgolub558 dude touch grass
What I've learned from this video: Aleena and Noel both slept through the WWI portion of world history.
My bro they didnt even know WW2 or Vietnam
Noel gets a pass since he missed history class that day since he was interned with the rest of his family because his great grandfather’s cousin is Japanese and the US government was like, let’s throw them all in just to be safe.
history is by far the worst subject so
At first I read this as they slept through WWI itself and I was like hold up lmao
ngl ww1 is kinda skimmed over in history classes versus ww2 that I feel like is beat to the ground in public education, also there’s so much more ww2 media that covers it that I think there’s a larger collective consciousness
17:26 Noel just casually discovering Occam’s Razor on his own over here
18:36 "realistically I think anyone who's not like into world history forgets all this" nah man it's just you sorry 😂
The reason that restaurant mentioned by Aleena in Cuba is named Versailles, a french royal residence. Is because in the 19th and 18th centuries there was a mass migration of french people to Cuba, especially the eastern part, and it heavily influenced the culture.
Alex really made this work, it's clear he loves being the smart one.
I don't know how they know nothing about this
Some people just don't read all that much about history. Noel really likes cars and I bet he'd look smart talking about that. People are good at different things
@@TheTGOAC I haven't had history since school but I know all of this. Maybe because I'm european but american education really is dogshit
@@TheTGOAC that's literally not an excuse for getting questions like "How did hitler die", "Who helped in making the atom bomb", "What was fat man" wrong, like cmon bruh it's been almost 10 years since I have last seen any history books but even I knew the answers :(
For everyone saying "this is basic school shit" ok how about recite the quadratic equation without looking it up. It's basic school shit so you should know it off the top right? Being an ass isn't gonna help your argument. Which isn't even an argument since I wasn't saying whether something was right or wrong. Anything to condescend though, right?
@@TheTGOAC that's not basic school shit. WW1 and 2 are the 2 most significant events in recent history. You get reminded of their consequences every day. It's a lot less abstract and complicated than the quadratic formula
Tbh I appreciate videos like these because I also took APs and did well in school when I was studying this material but now I have forgotten so many things because I honestly hate history. This quiz made me feel a bit better about myself because I knew a good amount, but a lot of information gets mixed up in my brain or I genuinely forget it lol. I do think history is important and wish my teachers helped to cultivate more of a love and interest for this subject instead of just focusing on grades.
ok
Did you happen to take AP world? if so do you potentially have any tips for me?
Theres some great channels that make well researched history content in really entertaining ways. Oversimplified and Sam o'nella academy are some good ones to start with but there are heaps of channels in different styles that make informative and entertaining history content. I love to binge this stuff in the background while I work on other things
The edit at 14:54 killed me
ME TOO IM LOSING IT RN HAHAH
9:30 the trick question was impressive (not patronizing)
It's insane how little you two got correct, this was amazing, astonishing i love you two
Okayyy
Is it just me or is Noel getting more and more comfortable with his dark jokes these days??
It feels like the pre-TikTok days around here sometimes and I love it.
Also, how tf did Nord VPN approve the beginning of that ad read?? 😂
That’s what married life does to you
hes not offensive/ignorant tho (most of the time). thats the diff. however i think some people dont get satire unless it is explicitly stated so idk
It seems like a lot of people nowadays are fighting against the gen z sensitivity (especially guys). Kind of like going back to how it was before
@@ppppppppp64 going back to before would maybe be going too far lol.
It's just nice to hear something you KNOW is a joke be just that. A joke. No trying to decipher hidden meanings or whatever.
@@abyblue7287 Which jokes here particularly stood out to you as having hidden meanings? :o
As a grad student in history this was both painful and hilarious to watch.
As someone who studied history at school until the age of 13, this was painful to watch
When Winston Churchill comes back to tell me, "we eatin good, I'm a fat man." Truly inspirational.
watching this as an Austrian just makes me grateful for our education system lmao
As a history education major this hurt so bad and I haven't even gotten my associates yet
i only just graduated highschool without taking any senior history and this video hurt so bad
As an unborn fetus this hurt so bad and I’ve not even been born yet.
What a great trick question Alex!
Great trick question Alex, definitely adding that to my curriculum!
Alex is such a creative and good host especially with his truck question !!!
Noel's little "oh" after the "Jet" answer is hilarious 15:43
Love how Noel appreciates Aleena's humor. So cute!
So cute how he hypes her everytime
09:21 That was actually a great question, Alex!
I find it so funny that Aleena in this video exudes the stereotypical "dumb blonde" energy when I thought she was *the* STEM smart kid lmao😂
She is smart but not in history
@@joshentertainment2 She didnt know what the word predecessor meant.
@@joshentertainment2 you hardly need to study history to know the awnsers to these questions tho, theyre just common knowledge. Idk how she could be considerd smart, no offence.
@@joecexe1 Its really not common knowledge, in my country things like world wars were not taught to us at all so I didnt know anything about them until a couple of years ago when I arrived at the US. Besides, intelligence is not defined by the facts you memorize but by your ability to think critically and apply those facts and concepts in various ways
I guess they just didn't remember history stuff from high school.
As a history teacher, this whole video breaks my heart
this should be shown in all history classes across america
Noel really came up with that razor theory as if it was his own
ikr 😭
I DID PEARL HARBOUR
@@lumpenproletarier9584 it was self care

I prefer her cousin, Pearl Necklace
It was totally Bush.
Jet fuel can’t melt steel pearls
I actually really appreciate Alex’s trick question in a really non patronizing way
You should have Alex host a history class for a week and at the end you guys do a quiz like this at the end of it
As a history major specializing in the World Wars, I could only make it through this video after drinking vodka like a Russian soldier
i need more of alex' weird history facts, but next time with him reenacting important events
every time Noel posts a new video I check his ring finger to see if he recorded this before or after his wedding. Idk why....
I gotta say, I am really impressed with how you both just took the quiz regardless of it being embarassing..
I get that you both have considerable skills and knowledge in other areas and not everyone has to know a lot about history.
That all being said, it is mind boggling to me how little you both know about the world wars. Like, as a european without specialization and special interest in history - just with basic basic education - most of these question were pretty simple and obvious to answer. I don´t know if thats the educational standard in the US/Canada but I was legitematly shocked tbh.
But then again - awesome video, laughed a lot haha. Was´nt ment to be an insult, just wanted to express myself here
We learn more about America history in the US I think I learned world wars for like a month in high school then spent a whole semester on railroads
But I’m also 25 as well and got into nursing after high school so focused on science and math which is my specialty so I don’t remember history because I wasn’t particularly interested in it. I don’t think it’s crazy to think they weren’t either.
American school system covers 100% of the topics discussed, however the way the school system is structured you can easily graduate with good grades while knowing very little.
I'm 100% Mexican and I'm baffled by how little they know, even the ones about their country, how did they now know the one about the Vietnam War?? Ahahaha, great entertainment but it was kinda stressful to witness this lol
I respect how they’re not afraid to be wrong on camera.
