In middle school, my geography teacher said she'd give me an A if I learned all the african countries and their capitals. I had to name them all on a map (with borders). I did. 10 years later, I remember maybe like 5 of them lol
Bro! There's days I'm miles from home. But I make it to my bed everytime. With random shit in my pocket. Once I had beef jerky, I was so blasted I told my girl it was mushrooms so she won't get mad at me.
I can confirm that this is not always the case. I was once awoken by a concerned, elderly nun in Split, Croatia as I attempted to get some sleep underneath a sarcophagus (stone coffin) having failed to get back to my campsite.
One thing! Just one thing! Please tell IT to me: WHY tf do I have so many fans even though no UA-camr is unprettier than I am? WORLDWIDE!!!! WHY??? Tell me, dear tre
I got 100% in 2 mins in my first try borderless Africa. I'm not African. I bet I'm better at geography than you. I know everything about African geography.
I remember I had a hardcore AP human geography teacher my final year of high school who made us memorize every country in africa, and every other continent. Im not as good with asia and europe anymore, but now I can proudly say I'm better than Tom at one single thing I've seen him do on this channel. African geography.
Tom, your video views the past 5 months or so have been mental. How have you felt about your recent success this past year? Keep ‘em coming. And also, get in!!
The order you get them makes a huge difference. I got Eswatini, Rwanda, The Gambia, Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea as my first six. I couldn't have picked it any better.
I'm super looking forward to the Scotland adventures Tom and I bet they're gonna be fantastic. That said make sure you take it easy and fit in some time for yourself in this busy period. Whatever anyone else says we can wait :)
The average score is 70% at the time when Tom made the video. When I attempted the quiz (when he uploaded) the average score was 69% and now with all the goes we have had as a community, the average score has dropped to 68%
Well i think its good that you did and uploaded this, because it really educates us on African geography too, even if you get some of the places wrong ( tho you did quite good imo ):
i love this channel so much for the way he just speaks and keeps the editing as non intrusive as possible. every other youtuber nowadays zooms in on their face every other word and feels the need to edit something in at all times.
Tom I’m not exaggerating when I say I’m 5 minutes in and I have not stopped creasing once!! Your dry self deprecating British humour just has me on ropes every video. Love from London
Felt confident in my Africa knowledge and tried the quiz before watching the video - on my first attempt i had 84%, which I hope isn't too shameful! Most proud of the Swaziland, Djibouti, and Togo picks, which were mostly luck considering I had no reference countries :)
84% is pretty good first try. 85% here haha. togo is indeed a tough one because there are no distinct geographical features to distinct it. if you look closely eswatini and lesotho stand out on the map quite a bit. good luck trying to get 100% ;)
@@MH-tm7xv I was confused by how he seemed to know where the countries were after he made the guess so I kept rewinding and looking really closely for any changes on the screen when he made his guesses and was able to spot it
I love the 'get in' every once in a while, but the "Tom putting his head in his hands because of true self loathing and disgust" is a nice one as well.
I would get South Africa, Madagascar, and Egypt only, probably... except by guessing, of course. This was hilarious, Tom! Well done, congrats. For some reason I was sure that Yemen bordered Chad.
Conveniently I happened to practice up my Africa geography recently, so took great pleasure in playing along and battering you in something geography related for once, even knowing it wasn't exactly fair xD
I'm not colourblind and I can tell you that I had to rewind every time a country was highlighted red because it was so hard to spot it. They didn't exactly do a stellar job making it easily noticeable lol
@Evan Spevak I'm definitely not lol. What I mean is that because they made the colour overlays very transparent/subtle and didn't separate them in terms of lightness/darkness/contrast it wasn't easy to spot where a red dot popped up if you were focusing on the other part of the screen (aka where the cursor was). Obviously you can see if you focus or pause but it could have been done in a much more obvious/attention-grabbing way.
Hahaha woooww that second "africa" was with a perfect dutch accent for some random reason! Or were you trying to do it in Afrikaans, which is dutch mixed with other languages and kinda has the same dialect.
They are not really that small though, it just looks that way on the commonly used distorted world map (where everything in the north gets enlarged and near the equator is shrunk)
togo and benin without context is hard. Togo is not exactly on the border with a lake but a couple hudnred kilometers away so you just gotta know how far away it is roughly same with guinea bissau and the gambia if you dont have surrounding context lesotho and eswatini have geographical features which you can use to find them so theyre fine that being said i did this map 2 days ago w my gf (she got absolutely destroyed as she is terrible at geography) and i could get all in around 5 minutes time
After seeing this I spent some time on Sporcle and found the "Complete the map snippet" quizzes really interesting. You get only the shape of one country on an empty map and have to type in the names of other countries that would appear on that map.

Stay strong!! You‘ll get through this!!
You got this 💪
What’s your girlfriends number?
Chin up king
Good luck pal
“But it’s the other lake Tom!” Had me rollin lmao

I thought he had the good lake at first ngl
same!! :D
I used to be a fan but after watching this great video I’m a whole air conditioner
Love your comment 😅
the editing of this is hilarious
Nice pfp
The Mauritius guess at 11:35 was an all time great, especially after the first 3 in that round lol

yeah he obviously got it confused with mauritania

the slow zoom lmao

Ok good I’m not the only person that has videos as background noise
Cracking up at this comment.
Interesting seeing a youtuber I watch, comment on a video of another youtube I watch. Like seeing a unicorn
13:46 KILLED ME lmao. The look straight into the camera was priceless. Love the videos, Tom!
These intros will never get old
Never thought this day would come but I've finally beaten Tom in a challenge! As an African, It would have been embarrassing if I didn't
I got 100% in 2 mins in my first try borderless Africa. I'm not African. I bet I'm better at geography than you. I know everything about African geography.

Seeing Tom get mad made me laugh so hard. "BUT ITS THE OTHER LAKE TOM!" I couldn't stop wheezing
He really just shamed me for not knowing where Egypt was
Dont worry, it’s a common American side effect
@@renanbo6562 got that right. It’s hard being a geography nerd in America. My friends think I’m some sort of freak for knowing geography so well 😂
lmao imagine not knowing where Egypt is
I mean Egypt and South Africa are the 2 places in Africa everyone should know as a given.
@@LeveyHere agreed. also madagascar, because you cant really miss it
congrats on 800K you absolute legend man!! So so so deserved. 1 Million very very soon!

Really appreciate future Tom working so hard today. You should give him a raise.

We love Africa
The tallest statue on the continent in Dakar was built by us. We even built the new State House (the presidential residence) in Namibia
I am sorry Tom but it makes me laugh so hard when you were failing it :D :D those zooms :D
13:53 the best part :D
Tom, your video views the past 5 months or so have been mental. How have you felt about your recent success this past year? Keep ‘em coming. And also, get in!!
Probably the funniest video he's ever done. Love this guy, never stop uploading.
I love the editting! The zooming in + clicking! It's cracking me up everytime :D thanks Tom! Good night's sleep after a good laugh now
The order you get them makes a huge difference. I got Eswatini, Rwanda, The Gambia, Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea as my first six. I couldn't have picked it any better.
you can skip to next an back; finding Eswatini and Lesotho is a lot easier when you already have South Africa marked
Take your time Tom, any content is appreciated!
I'm super looking forward to the Scotland adventures Tom and I bet they're gonna be fantastic. That said make sure you take it easy and fit in some time for yourself in this busy period. Whatever anyone else says we can wait :)
"not to be confused with... a similar one"
You said this is more like your B-side content, but seriously, your reactions to Guinea are hilarious. I like the sporcle videos just as much.
Love from Egypt, congrats for reaching 800k 💕, road for 1million is near 🎊
Some of my absolute favourite videos are the play alongs so please keep them coming we don't mind at all!
I had to replay the "Mauritius" moment 400 times haha
The zoom-ins were the best. I can't believe how much one can laugh while watching a geography-themed video...
The average score is 70% at the time when Tom made the video. When I attempted the quiz (when he uploaded) the average score was 69% and now with all the goes we have had as a community, the average score has dropped to 68%
That really shows what kind of people normally do these tests lol
Some people might do them and cheat so the real average is maybe around 55 per cent
65% now. I got 71% on my first attempt.
Well i think its good that you did and uploaded this, because it really educates us on African geography too, even if you get some of the places wrong ( tho you did quite good imo ):

2:58 you can just tell by that reaction that he had no idea where Benin was 😂
Thanks for Sporcle vids! Love to see these too.
so technically speaking his first guess on the game was a Guinea Pick, wasn't it?
Get out.
I was with you emotionally on every click there haha better than a movie! Well done!!

Same here!
Same
so.. how did you know in the end?

this is definetly my fave video of yours, the editing is so fun
You know you don't have to do them in order, right? You can skip forwards and back to build a foundation of ones you know for reference.
