I really can't understand how anyone can spend 12+ years in a classroom and still know nothing. It must be almost impossible to not learn something- even passively- over all that time. It would probably take more effort to block it out.
Seems like they've been putting the effort in then 😁
donse yoo talks abot or genaraton lik dat
@@stephenhumphrey7935but they are dummies.
@@uutthyu4636 True, young kids are curious about everything. It's the one size fits all attitude I think that is a big problem. There are many ways to learn things, we're all different. School teaches you that the one particular way they've chosen to teach a particular thing is the RIGHT and ONLY way. No wonder people lose interest and switch off.
Richard Feynman was great on this subject. A favourite example of his was when his cousin was struggling with algebra. Richard looked at the problem and gave his cousin the answer straight away. his cousin said "Yeah but you're not allowed to do it with math, you have to do it with algebra!" Says it all. He understood it, but the method he was shown confused him.
I'm convinced that the stereotypical problem with learning what offside means in soccer is not because it's a difficult concept in itself, it's because it's a stupid bloody name to give it which confuses people from the get go. These things can be avoided if you think about it first.
They know all the pronouns...
I feel your pain, bro.
Im a Swedish guy who has NEVER been to America and I know more about America than most Americans
I'm a Brit - me too.
Ask them to name the Kardashians....I guarantee they'll get them all correct!
It's sad, but I'm guessing you are correct. Unfortunately.
I don't...😂 bc I don't care.
Easy. John, Paul, Geroge and that other one.
Pretty sure he did in one of these videos. Answers came quickly, no idea if was correct.
They would give you chapter and verse on the entire life details of the Kardashians!
I saw this starting to happen over 25 years ago. I grew up with only 3 TV channels and listening to BBC talk radio. So absorbed basic general knowledge without even trying. I worked in a large office with a lot of people in their 20s and 30s when I was in my 40s. The general level of ignorance in a lot of them was astonishing to me. There is so much dumbed down entertainment available today, it is just too easy to avoid seeing anything that is "educational".
I mean 200 years ago there were at least the same amount of uneducated people, the difference is, they didn't have a choice xD
Hey mate I grew up with one TV channel, and on the wireless the Light Program, the Home Service, the Third Program and the Music Program and if the atmospherics where right Radio Luxembourg., so you were lucky. But having said that I cannot agree more with your sentiments. You are absolutely right.🇦🇺
I was brought up with books. No radio, TV didn't exist. Only the rich, doctors etc. had telephones. Listened to music on a gramaphone which you wound up by hand.
Even worse when that level of ignorance starts to leak into the teaching profession. Not just as the lateral transmission of ignorance, but indoctrination.
@@wiliammound7942 Similar upbringing.
Connor my old mate, the look on your face was the best part of this video!
It's bewildering as someone from the UK how we know more about America than these people here. Our education system include compulsory subjects of history and geography from the age of 12, including languages. There's shame in saying( I don't know) worse are people who insist their wrong answer is correct....I have always supported your channel, for your honesty and enthusiasm to learn. God bless buddy, great video
I know, same here, got every single one I've ever seen asked, even local American geography
It’s sad because so many Americans think our education is even worse then theirs and it just isn’t
You could find just as many ignorant "youths" in the UK if you asked them about British history. Mostly because a lot of them aren't even British.
As a 5 year old my father bought me a 12 volume encyclopaedia. That was in 1962. Thanks dad.
Every time you put one of these videos up, the look of despair on your face has me peeing my pants laughing....🤣🤣🤣
If people are ignorant about the world and are not paying attention the more susceptible they are to being manipulated by bad actors.
Like people who think the earth is flat or gravity is fake etc.
Gravity?? Help me on that😅
The general lack of curiosity is not just an American phenomenon, I see it all the time in Britain... I regularly encounter people who have zero knowledge or interest in anything that happened before they were born and are only interested in science and technology if it has an immediate, direct benefit to them personally.
These are questions i ask to my grown up kids to make them think when they’re having a moment of mental stupidity. My grandson will not this badly educated!
I have a curse, I need to live to like 200+ to learn and understand all I want to
Thanks mate, I really enjoyed this. I'm not sure which was funnier, their unbelievable replies or your reactions 😂😂 🏴 Diolch.
Conner; this is why channels like your own are so valuable and so needed. I've said this until it's given me earache! If you are familiar with the George Pal version of HG Wells' Time Machine (1960) the younger generation are turning into the Eloi of that film. I suggest you check out 'The Time Machine (1960) Meet The Eloi / Books Crumble To Dust'. You're sure to get what I'm on about. As an owner of a massive personal library which I've enjoyed for over sixty years, this scene always gets to me. I texted an old friend, recalling this scene, saying that the Eloi are arriving. He texted back, saying, "They're already bloody-well here!!" Sadly, I have to agree with him and they don't seem to care one jot!
Exactly the analogy I had in mind too.
@@dallassukerkin6878 The problem being is that if they dismiss the past and how we got here as irrelevant, then they are eventually going to breed forth exactly the same mistakes and outcomes in the future. Like stepping off a ladder into mid-air, it's one hell of an impact when they hit the ground.
@@dallassukerkin6878 And, as we see in the Middle East - AGAIN!
OMG I'm 66 years of age left school at fifteen and I've never stopped learning I'm British and I'm cringing at the lack of any type of knowledge with the young people who are your next generation your country is f..ked ha ha xx 😂
Don’t think the British would do much better
@@louisemiller3784they couldn't do any worse. They didn't know anything 😂😂
@@louisemiller3784that can do a lil better but there still stupid.
This shit depresses me so much. I'm literally depressive because i'm scared of what the future surrounded by these people, who can vote, gather people, have influence, become teachers etc, would be. Like it's absolutely terrifying to me the sheer amount of absolutely clueless people, even about the most basic things. How do these people even function in their life ? How have they managed to stay alive in such a cruel world while being this stupid
And the worst is that i'm not even smart
dont worrie im a teecher at the school i teeches my stewdents very good
Not all are stupid and ignorant , there are plenty of young people out there this is a small hand picked bunch
@@claregale9011 Problem is that the agendas and narratives being pushed in all the western countries are the degenerate ideas of these people
To be fair, I don't think she didn't know what a country was, but was struggling to think of one. I read her "What's a country? What's a country?" as her talking to herself, basically urging her memory to "Gimme a country, quick! Gimme a country, quick!"
It's still pretty embarrassing, though.
Your reaction at the end - I feel your pain! It's not much better over here in some places. Frightening really! I agree people should pass some sort of basic test before being allowed to vote.
or breed
@@soozb15Was going to add that myself.
While we are on this topic, I'd also like to see some kind of basic IQ test before going abroad. If your IQ is smaller than your shoe size, you're not allowed on the plane.
@@soozb15Me being in my late 30's I have a friend who is 10 years younger and extremely intelligent. She is asexual and thinks that her having kids would be a bad idea.
But the world needs her offspring and what she can teach them and not the kids of people in this generation who will accidentally create even idiot offspring.
if you vote, you have already failed the test
The ones not knowing the time got me 😮. Conners heart kept sinking lower every answer 😂
Oh my word ...to think most of them are voting age ... The world is going backwards ...these are just basic questions....as we say here in England ...I'm gobsmacked !!! 😮
Oh, Connor. We’re all here for you, dude.😂
i travelled across america for 2 years and what i noticed is a lot of americans dont really pay much attention to what's going on outside of america, bearing in mind that america is f*****g huge!
some of their opinions on other countries and cultures was quite shocking to me
its true i teeches my stewdents geeografy and theys dont understand
They were asked questions about America and still gotten it wrong.
@@stephenhumphrey7935please tell me you are trolling with sentences types like that
@pbart9821 i am a qalified teecher
@@stephenhumphrey7935 so far you're spelling less than half of your words correctly 😂
Are you 6 years old?
Poor Connor - I feel your pain!
I have a theory. American people are continuously told how great they are and what a great country the US is, they see no need to be curious about the rest of the world or even their own country. The video was quite hard to watch, the questions were easy, some even containing the answer. What made it worse was that many of the participants had no idea they were so lacking😮
Connors expression through the video going from disbelief, to anger, then finally to absolute disappointment.
The funniest part of this was that you just ended the video with no comment because you've been left speechless!
I'm hoping that these people are just extreme cases, but i fear I'm wrong. It would be nice to know the ratio of those who could answer to those who couldn't. But, how could you not be able to answer the question, which two countries fought in the Mexican-American war? You don't have to know any history: the answer is literally in the question.
Watching this makes me want to tell my old teacher “yeah read the question twice you was right” 😂
It’s no wonder the flat earth “theory” is making a comeback when young people are this thick.
Thick people never question the official narrative or engage in debates regarding the nature of reality mate
You comment stil is true even if people want to disagree.
I'm a South Asian and even I know the answers to the questions asked about the United States than these Americans. Also I'm pretty bad at Maths too, yet I was able to answer the Maths questions easily.
I already knew Americans are bad at general knowledge, but I didn't know it was this bad!
Your expression at the end of the video is priceless 😂
Regarding the moon question, I'm guessing they're getting that answer wrong for one of three reasons:
1) They never bothered to look at the sky and count how many moons there are.
2) They don't know which world is Earth. Thinking "is Earth the one with the big red spot, the red planet or the one with all the rings?"
3) They don't know what a moon is and think it's the stars in the night sky.
You decide which of those 3 scenarios makes them dumber.
I'm a 60 year old guy in Australia and I think I got all but one correct. Sorry, but poor education will be the downfall.
As a European I find this utterly shocking that these Americans cannot answer simple questions like Canada and Mexico bordering the US, that your country has 50 states including Hawaii and Alaska, that 1776 July 4 was when you gained your independence or that 15 is 15% of 100 or the paper analog clock shows 1:50. Connor you had such a pained look in your face I wanted to reach out and give you a hug. Poor you having to bear with all these fauxes-pas.🥺
I'm 52 now, been a teacher in high school for many years. I live in Norway, this is not just a US problem. And the youth is our future...when I get really old and sick I tink I'm just going out into the forest...sit down and die. :)
15:20 There are 3 most difficult problems in computer science: 1) Naming things 2) Off by one errors
The thing to bear in mind is that, altho' these walking empty skin-suits do have to take some accountability, the majority of this has been done to them on purpose.
As I say, some of it is down to them not even trying to exercise curiosity and learn about the world they live in but they have been handed a comfortable life (I know they don't think so but they are wrong on that) where, up to their twenties, they have had to work for nothing and have had every obstacle smoothed down. All with the aim of keeping them dumb and unaware as their future is stolen from them.
BARE
I have read the accounts of some ex-teachers who have suffered burn-out from teaching in the English speaking countries of: Canada, USA, and Australia. They are eerily similar in why they decided to leave, sick or not. I haven't seen any UK videos. Whistle blowers are not treated well here and harassed if they speak out. I can say from experience similar problems exist. These UA-cam teachers are well worth listening to, and they may provide you with explanations for the problems in 1st world education systems as demonstrated in this video..
There is also, seemingly, a youth culture in the US where it is considered un cool to study and learn things. Compared to in Asia, where the kids that are good at a subject is considered impressive, in the west there is a lot of derogatory name calling and looking down on them. On the other hand, being good at sports is exaulted like the best thing ever, which, sure. It is amazing if you become good at something, no matter what it is, but why the differentiation between physical prowess and mental?
I think i've seen around 10 different youtube reactors to this, 2 stopped halfway the video, with one getting really mad. Props to you Jibz! 😸
Which channels are you talking about I would like to check them out.
@@MrKnowledge0014 Ryan Wuzer walked out of the room.
The thing that shocks me more than anything is the fact that these kids can't tell the time!
I love the end that hes so flabbergasted, hest so lost for words he just ends the video without a word.
Too many young people are absolutely helpless without their phone .
The sad part being, they have the knowledge at their fingertips.
I had to run out and buy dark glasses and a wig before I could continue watching. I was that embarrassed 🙈
Silence at the end...I feel you.
To be fair, if Stephen Fry asked me how many moons we have I'd be a bit wary of answering :)
Yes, but you would KNOW it was a trick question if Stephen Fry asked you something so obvious. 😂
The first gurl reminds me of a sitcom which used following text on a t-shirt: 'I wish these were brains'.
I wish this bloke would say no and then give them the right answer
I love how frustrated you get throughout the video. But I get it, most of these answers were worse than I expected.
Connor you are my favourite reactor. I can't believe they're laughing at their own stupidity. I'm a teacher in the UK and I'm asking my 7 year olds some of these questions tomorrow. Obviously not the American ones.
My 11 year old grandson (who is from the UK) can answer these questions. The problem with the USA is their school system. If they only have to tick a box on multiple choice questions then they are likely to get some right by default. In the UK you have to learn a subject and answer questions on it or do an essay so that you understand what it is you are writing about. As somne comedian once said when Americans do stupid they excel at it.
I'm English and i laugh at these videos..But i would love to see a video with English people being asked similar questions to see how they would get on.
Would only be fair
The Idiocracy movie was a prophecy
I can hear the desperation in your voice Connor.😂
Dude! I feel your pain 🤣greetings from 🏴 you know, where the queen of England is from 😆 I am sure every country had these people!😊
“You are dumb!!!” That came from the heart. 😂
@McJibbin , I read a study recently which should alarm Americans , If i remember right it was written in 2021 and it was a study on Americans with IQ's under 80 of the adult population . The population in The US now is 333 million of which 260.8 million are adults . Of these adults 2.2% of them have mental learning difficulties and 6.7% of adults all have below 80 IQ score . This calculates to 23.2 million American voters who can't name the last 5 presidents but can name all the Kardashians . Another thing i found weird was only 22% of the American population are children around 74 million kids . Here in the UK the population of children is 62% of 67.7 million population 25 million adults & 42 million kids .
I think Ford Prefect said it said it best in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy series. You’re going to die out, you know that lol
McJibbin's face at 9:37 LMAO 😂
That last clip was probably the reason why Justin (the interviewer) stopped attempting to correct them after they gave a wrong answer. I wonder how many of them were so confidently incorrect that they started arguing with Justin like that girl did.
Also I loved your vibe and humility, your generous acknowledgment of the guy with a beard and glasses (thanks YT autoplay) on US vs Europe QOL, and you seem genuine and kind. You've earned a new subscriber, though maybe on my YT Culture encounters account : ) Good job, you seem wise beyond your years. Best wishes🖐🏻
It can be quite bad here too Conner . I don't want to be mean either but I think your Young People get the top award for Hmm lack of Knowledge. I sometimes think they set up the worst for interviews but I had an experience in America myself when someone was interested where I came from but I Politely had to do a lot of explaining on Geography and other points for them to understand. They were nice but it was hard work😊
I tend to not be so nice, I like the term retard when explaining the stupidity of some people.
Yes many people hate that term but for me it only means 1 thing, the dumbest of the dumb like people who drink smart water thinking that affects their IQ or people who think the earth is flat.
lol oi your vids are on point my guy keep up the good work ..look forward to more...got tears in my eyes u make me laugh top man ..love watching you vids most nights when chilling with a smoke in bed...your a legend stay safe nuff love from london uk 💚
the only curiousities these people have are internet celebrities and the latest trends on social media lol,absolute shambles of a generation.
There is nothing wrong with looking stupid ,
But there is something wrong with looking stupid confidently ,
Why don't these people know? There needs to be a standardisation of the education system in the USA.
Hi, I feel your pain. My daughter has just left home to go to a very good University in England. She is the prime example of Education doesn't equal Intelligence. Curiosity is a good thing LEARN.
our genaraaton is verie smart
Even the interviewer didn't know the answer to how many moons the earth has.. At one time it was believed to be 4.. But now accord to the prog Qi it has thousands of tiny moons
The way you reacted is funny. But you are soooooo right in what you say!!!!
To be fair the question of how many continents there are on depends which model you use.
This reminds me of the movie: Idiocracy.
That first lady's ignorance is not that she doesn't know what a country is. It's that they don't actually LISTEN to the question....
"The more I look at people the less I like democracy". You and me both 😊
The Founding Fathers could see this coming. They didn't strictly reduce who could vote for the good of their health.
Mate this hurts my head
No wonder you stay in your room Connor. I wouldn't want to walk around or drive around anywhere in such an unaware place.🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's being stupid, then there's that.
If it wasn't for the fact I've seen many videos like this, I would have thought it was fake.
It's shocking.
first question: there is no Queeen of England.
She was the Queen of UK, commonwealth etc. but not England. England doesn't have a queen/king.
But to be honest only few know that.
Yeah, that one really gets on my nerves, but it's so common for people everywhere, even relatively well-informed people will be lazy when it comes to that.

Forgetting school ( which seems to be useless in the US ) even if Gen z has spent absolutely all their time laying on their bed on social media with the odd trip to McDonald's , surely they have picked up some information about the world
I have to say your reactions are the best. It's true reality TV has a lot to answer for. As well as the obvious programs things like love island and married at first sight are their education.. I'm sure we have our share of this type of person, l saw someone looking where to put gas in a Tesla. Great reaction from you from the UK just above Canada.
the only calculator in my school was a slide rule, a pencil and an ink well, quills were out fountain pens in, a pen knife was used for sharpening a quill, should of been called a quill knife , dont be surprised about the lack of intelligence, thats life now
The worst part of all this is the fact that the answer is IN most of the questions.
The problem is you can ask many older Americans and they wont know either
@@OneTrueScotsman you could except its nowhere near as widespread... Yet..

Love your expressions, so funny!
Give me a minute, I'm going to run through this again and assertain at what age my son would have answered all these questions correctly.......
OK pondered, he would have answerd most correctly at 5yr old, all at 10yr old, including the moon question which is not one! But hey in their defence, my son knows jack all about fashion, makeup or even who Kim Kardassian is! (to his eternal credit)
@@nigelleyland166 i suspect the person asking the questions believes it's one moon.

You should like this:
"Can You Name a Country?" - Jimmy Kimmel Live (3 years ago), and
"Can You Name a Country?" Jimmy Kimmel Live (5 years ago)
There's also this rejoicing one:
"Can You Name a Book? ANY Book???" - Jimmy Kimmel (5 years ago), and
"Can You Name a Book?" - Jimmy Kimmel Live (2 years ago)
The decadence of our Great Civilization has well started!
Many of those questions are obvious, but can trick you when you're nervous and under pressure, like when you're being interviewed in front of a camera. In Venezuela we jokingly ask "Which color was Bolívar's white horse?", on the spot some people get confused and say they don't know. But the ones about the months or the countries bordering the us are unbelievable, how can they not know?
Also, we are lucky than in Spanish percent "por ciento" means very clearly "per hundred."
The one that said Earth has 4 moons, I guess she was thinking about the phases of the moon.
Many, many years ago Jay Leno did Jay-walking on the streets asking people same things.....It was the same.
