Well ofc 😂, there is almost 20k citys/towns in the u.s. It would be near impossible to know them all or any of the random little ones not to mention useless. That could be 20k words to learn instead, that right there is the passive vocabulary of an average english speaker.
I was trying this myself with all my hometown neighboring cities like Fayette, AL (pop. 4000) and Sheffield, AL, and then I hear him say it!! this guy is great
Well when you play GeoGuessr as much as this guy, you get to know a few places. I'd imagine that's where the bulk of his small-town knowledge comes from.
Tom: I'm just a regular guy with a keen sense in geography... but not to a ridiculous extent. Also Tom: Looking at the landscape and the way the sun is setting and the type of trees, I'll put this somewhere in northwest Argentina, probably the Tucumán Province. I'm gonna guess Ingenio San Pablo... Damn. 11 metres away. I should have gotten that.
We are used to the letter 'u' in British English. Don't forget how many words we spell different to Americans like honour, colour, flavour, neighbour, behaviour etc we put the letter 'u' everywhere 😅
Yeah Albuquerque was a fourth try for me, I don't think I misspelled any other city more than once. Was sure it was "Albe-" and when it wasn't I tried changing the ending instead.
A few larger cities you missed are St. Louis, Baltimore, Omaha, San Jose, Charlotte, Madison, and Savanah. But great job-- better than some Americans can do :)
I'm an American who can name every country in the world and most of the state capitals, and instantly recognize the shape of every state. I only got like 150 cities and a population of 50 million.
I assumed the ‘any state’ was an option to guess all of the US or just one state. But I would have tried it before stating if that was the case, so not really an excuse
Tbf, the US has like 30× the cities as the UK. And not only that, many of our cities are named after cities there. So as a brit you could guess many of the US's by knowing the UK's.

As a viewer from Arkansas, I cannot believe you didn’t manage to know the lovely town of Possumgrape. We also have towns such as Flippin’, Toad Suck, Smackover, Bald Knob, Goobertown, or even Weiner. And btw the big one you forgot was Little Rock.
Looks like you guys have carried on the great english tradition of silly place names. A couple just from just my county Yorkshire; Crackpot, Hole of Horcum(seriously), Penistone, Shitlingthorpe, Slackbottom and Wetwang. Either they knew what they were doing or the language has aged poorly, lol
I was watching you do this and you got to California...I was expecting “Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Oakland” but you went straight from LA to Yuba City, which is the small city of 40k where I live and my jaw dropped and my mind was blown lmao. Wasn’t that you even guessed it, you just went straight to it before SF or Oakland lmao.
You don't need the "City". Also European countries/Cities are always a good guess or even things that sound like cities. When I played it I guessed "Greenwich" or "Goodwill". Colors or even basic words like "Home" "groove" "hill" "house" go good. Like some towns arent even trying...
Almost feel a little guilty not being able to name a single city in Wyoming but gotta put that into perspective. It’s like asking a British person to name cities in Belarus. And British people are closer to Belarus than most Americans are to Wyoming (that’s just speculation on my end the actual math is a bitch I’m sure)

I remember my teacher in like 4th grade and even high school teachers being shocked that I could name every capitol city in the US. I’ve always been into geography and I love watching videos like these. Great video man!
I can barely name any! Olympia, Sacramento, Santa Fe, Birmingham, Atlanta, Richmond, Manchester, Albany, Concord, Bismarck, Phoenix, Annapolis and some of these might not even be capitals! Edit 3 weeks later: Birmingham and Manchester aren't even capitals of their own states, I even put Concord.
It hurts knowing the capitals since 5 and currently, as a 12 year old, being able to name over 5000 cities in just the Usa, and seeing people that don't even know the states. 🤦
I started and got to about 150 until I realised I can just name cities from anywhere in the world and there's probably a US City with that name. I got through about 30 odd just by saying Macclesfield, Southampton, Ipswich etc, started getting even smaller and naming actual countries and everything and they were bloody all US cities.
@@cocoqtpi its not that we steal names its that immigrants when they settled here named their city after their home country or city. like for exaple Holland, MI.
@@RamesesBolton I don't think it is about how smart we are and more about how people don't not caring much about things that aren't going on around them/ affecting them
@@RamesesBolton pretty sure he knows more cities in your country and any other country compared to the actual people from that country. Hey, I love to bash americans too, but in this case its stupid.
Largest cities you missed: 1. San Jose, CA 2. Charlotte, NC 3. Baltimore, MD 4. Mesa, AZ 5. Omaha, NE 6. Raleigh, NC 7. Virginia Beach, VA 8. Minneapolis, MN (well, you just forgot how to spell this one) 9. Arlington, TX 10. Aurora, CO Edit: a lot of people in the comments are confused that I included suburbs in this list, so here’s some more cities that are the largest in their metro area. Riverside, CA St. Louis, MO Lincoln, NE Toledo, OH Fort Wayne, IN Laredo, TX Reno, NV This is of course not the same as being a non-suburb: St. Paul and Winston-Salem are not considered suburbs of their larger neighbors (thanks commenters) and conversely Hamilton, NJ is generally considered to be a suburb of Trenton despite having more people. However, the above is easy to check, while somewhere being a suburb is more subjective.
That drop down menu that says "Any state", switch it to "Every state" so that it will accept every city with the same name. I got over 1000 cities in like 20 minutes
Actually, I'm quite impressed, you got more than I think I would've gotten, particularly the smaller-population towns, and I live in the U.S! (Also, born and raised in western Massachusetts, can confirm, Massachusetts is essentially Boston and that's it.)
Yeah, you can see him type "roswell new mexico" at 7:38 but he's missing the comma... it's driving me crazy. Why didn't he follow the example of Topeka, KS that the game provides?
I believe there is multiple ways. Using a comma to separate the state from the city (as most of you have pointed out), and there is also that drop down next to the text box where he could have selected a specific state
@@danghj864 That's actually a good analogy. It's like if a guy from Alabama opened his video with a fake California accent and said "heyyy guys"... and then changed back to his normal heavy Alabama accent and said: "I'm just kidding, I'm not thatttt American." Anyway, I lolled. And also interesting to hear what native people think of the accents of their own country.
I still can't believe an English speaking country has a city named in Latin. It must be your weird American relationship with religion lol, as an Italian I couldn't imagine people naming cities like holy cross, christ s nails or chirst s body. If you didn't know Corpus Christi means Christ's body but anyway

TIP: I played this game also, and here are some tips to get some cities: 1. If you type in random president's name or famous American people's name, you would often get one or more cities. Like I did: Presidents: Roosevelt, Johnson, Garfield, Lincoln, Washington, Kennedy, Hoover, etc ; Famous People: Malcolm, Clay, Martin, Luther, etc. 2. I also got some cities by typing in random foreign city names or countries like: Bethlehem, Palestine, London, Paris, Mecca, Jerusalem, Moscow, Amsterdam, etc. 3. Sometimes adding "New" to a city also helps, like: New Berlin, New Paris, New Amsterdam, etc. I got a lot of these correct randomly by guessing.
@Lucas Armitage San Jose is the 10th largest city in America. It's bigger than 173 (95%) of the 182 cities he named. In fact, if the makers of this map game updated its population data, they'd have to expand the list of cities over 1 million from 9 to 10 specifically to include San Jose. It is home to Cisco, PayPal, eBay, and Adobe, some of the most influential tech companies in the world. I would describe "headquarters of the companies that make the Internet work" as extremely relevant to basically everyone. Certainly everyone who uses UA-cam. This comment probably passed through a hundred discrete pieces of Cisco equipment on its way from my keyboard to your screen, for example. By any definition of relevance that could plausibly exclude San Jose, _every_ city is irrelevant to most people.
Even if he didn't see that, the entry box literally says that you can enter city names in the format, "City Name, State Abbreviation." I'm more surprised he missed that.

@@caeso7966 idk what that means but I’m going to put the pieces together and say it’s a bad thing
Just start by naming every state then add "city" after, you'll get at least a dozen cities
Then go through every president lmao
You don't need the "City". Also European countries/Cities are always a good guess or even things that sound like cities. When I played it I guessed "Greenwich" or "Goodwill". Colors or even basic words like "Home" "groove" "hill" "house" go good. Like some towns arent even trying...

The fact that not a single city he guessed was from Wyoming makes me realize how obscure Wyoming actually is.
As an American, i cannot name a single city in Wyoming
It doesn’t exist
Almost feel a little guilty not being able to name a single city in Wyoming but gotta put that into perspective. It’s like asking a British person to name cities in Belarus. And British people are closer to Belarus than most Americans are to Wyoming (that’s just speculation on my end the actual math is a bitch I’m sure)

I remember my teacher in like 4th grade and even high school teachers being shocked that I could name every capitol city in the US. I’ve always been into geography and I love watching videos like these. Great video man!
That was me with countries.
I can barely name any! Olympia, Sacramento, Santa Fe, Birmingham, Atlanta, Richmond, Manchester, Albany, Concord, Bismarck, Phoenix, Annapolis and some of these might not even be capitals!
Edit 3 weeks later: Birmingham and Manchester aren't even capitals of their own states, I even put Concord.
Really? They made us memorize every capital in grade school.
It hurts knowing the capitals since 5 and currently, as a 12 year old, being able to name over 5000 cities in just the Usa, and seeing people that don't even know the states. 🤦
That’s the kind of thing I could do in 7th grade and then never do again.
I started and got to about 150 until I realised I can just name cities from anywhere in the world and there's probably a US City with that name. I got through about 30 odd just by saying Macclesfield, Southampton, Ipswich etc, started getting even smaller and naming actual countries and everything and they were bloody all US cities.

Woo! Springfield!
A fine effort, good chap. Durham, North Carolina. I kept hoping you'd get Worcester, Mass.
Well it's easy, just name european cities, then you do the same again but with “new“ in front
Don't forget the last names of long dead diplomats and explorers. We sure do love naming cities after dead people.
then just take colors and add Ville, valley, Boro, and town after them... we Americans are quite creative when it comes to naming cities
Then try some Christian name with saint or santa in front.
This is only applicable in the northeast
@@mattdajedi That's completely false. It's the all over the country. There's literally a Paris, TX, Athens, IL, etc.
You have to type the state abbreviation in after the city. It even gives an example in the text box (Topeka, KS)
Exactly. So Portland would be “Portland, ME”
cant believe he didnt catch that
Yeah that was so frustrating especially as the example is staring him in the face the entire time.
I guess you would need to know the state abbreviations though
@@jjbankert you can guess them
Largest cities you missed:
1. San Jose, CA
2. Charlotte, NC
3. Baltimore, MD
4. Mesa, AZ
5. Omaha, NE
6. Raleigh, NC
7. Virginia Beach, VA
8. Minneapolis, MN (well, you just forgot how to spell this one)
9. Arlington, TX
10. Aurora, CO
Edit: a lot of people in the comments are confused that I included suburbs in this list, so here’s some more cities that are the largest in their metro area.
Riverside, CA
St. Louis, MO
Lincoln, NE
Toledo, OH
Fort Wayne, IN
Laredo, TX
Reno, NV
This is of course not the same as being a non-suburb: St. Paul and Winston-Salem are not considered suburbs of their larger neighbors (thanks commenters) and conversely Hamilton, NJ is generally considered to be a suburb of Trenton despite having more people. However, the above is easy to check, while somewhere being a suburb is more subjective.

"Hello, welcome to the video" (in the exact same accent) "just kidding, I'm not THAT British, nobody is actually"
Lmao he sounds even more British
In order to guess cities with the same name, you would have to put the state abbreviation after it (ex: Springfield, MA or Springfield, IL)
You also have to put a comma after the city. Typing the whole state works, but you need the comma.
Yeah, you can see him type "roswell new mexico" at 7:38 but he's missing the comma... it's driving me crazy. Why didn't he follow the example of Topeka, KS that the game provides?
The game tried to make this intuitive with its help text but nothing is foolproof against all manners of fools
No, im pretty sure you open the drop down menu directly right of the text field.
I believe there is multiple ways. Using a comma to separate the state from the city (as most of you have pointed out), and there is also that drop down next to the text box where he could have selected a specific state
He actually said Tucson right I am highly impressed, thank you 🥹 and well done good sir!

TIP: I played this game also, and here are some tips to get some cities:
1. If you type in random president's name or famous American people's name, you would often get one or more cities. Like I did: Presidents: Roosevelt, Johnson, Garfield, Lincoln, Washington, Kennedy, Hoover, etc ; Famous People: Malcolm, Clay, Martin, Luther, etc.
2. I also got some cities by typing in random foreign city names or countries like: Bethlehem, Palestine, London, Paris, Mecca, Jerusalem, Moscow, Amsterdam, etc.
3. Sometimes adding "New" to a city also helps, like: New Berlin, New Paris, New Amsterdam, etc.
I got a lot of these correct randomly by guessing.
Start of video: I bet he's going to miss San Jose.
End of video: I can't believe he listed all these cities and missed San Jose.
@Lucas Armitage San Jose is the 10th largest city in America. It's bigger than 173 (95%) of the 182 cities he named. In fact, if the makers of this map game updated its population data, they'd have to expand the list of cities over 1 million from 9 to 10 specifically to include San Jose. It is home to Cisco, PayPal, eBay, and Adobe, some of the most influential tech companies in the world.
I would describe "headquarters of the companies that make the Internet work" as extremely relevant to basically everyone. Certainly everyone who uses UA-cam. This comment probably passed through a hundred discrete pieces of Cisco equipment on its way from my keyboard to your screen, for example. By any definition of relevance that could plausibly exclude San Jose, _every_ city is irrelevant to most people.

@@davehamilton-smith9460 yeah when I saw the title of this I said "just name a bunch of English towns, you'll get like 100 right answers just from that"
Dave Hamilton-Smith I just tried names of random European cities and tried to spell them like Americans would. Works surprisingly well.
Springfield.
I just named 34 cities.
Watching you trying to figure out how to point out specific states when an example was right there in the bar (use a comma) was *slightly* infuriating. Still a good video.
lmao
“Am I missing any big cities?”
*cries in St. Louis & Baltimore* 😭
Yeah. I live in St.Louis! It's sad he didn't even think of it.
I think the 3 over 500k he missed were San Jose, Baltimore, and Charlotte
and omaha
@@willb8228 that’s right, Omaha too!
Charlotte
"That heroin place" as I'm currently watching from Huntington.
Me too lol
Well technically I’m in Barboursville lol
"That heroin place" is a lot of places
I believe he said “harrowing”.
Man, I just wanted to thank you for giving me the laugh I needed tonight, just 4 minutes into the video!
"Ooo-tea-cuh" 😄😄😄.... That's "Yoo-di-cuh", friend! Utica, NY!
The city in Florida is just St. Petersburg, no H on the end
I was waiting for him to type in "Springfield" for every state
"I'm gonna really offend a lot of people with these Midwest states"
* gestures to the Mountain Time Zone *
Ah, but it's Midwest in the sense that it's _actually_ in the west, as opposed to the real definition of Midwest, which is more like mideast
@C - Reddit Man that's very true, only the coastal states exist
@@druze3210 Technically that area is the Mountain West. Midwest is like...east of the Dakotas.
Anything west of Wisconsin is Great Plains.
I can’t believe you put Mercer. The dot that popped up is where I grew up. Tiny 3 stop light town in western PA
“Jackson, MS”
Me:😃
“And I’m done in MS”
Me:😩
I was watching the vid and scrolling through the comments, was starting to read yours as he said Jackson... Most lucky thing to ever happen...
@@Gutagi same happend to me wtf. And then i read your comment and i was like there's no way that just happened
Ripley, Falkner, Walnut, Blue Mountain, Dumas, Booneville, Biggersville, Kossuth, Corinth, Holly Springs, Ashland, Blue Springs, New Albany, Myrtle, Southaven, Lewisburg, Hernando, Horn Lake, Olive Branch, Walls, Tupelo, Splunge, Oxford, Starkville, West Point, Laurel, Columbus, Aberdeen, Meridian, Grenada, Cold Water, Senatobia, Baldwyn, Saltillo. I can keep going if anybody wants me to.
@@MissStateFan I've drove through some of those places on my way to Pensacola Florida from Arkansas
You also forgot Hattiesburg
This was fun. As a Tulsa native, I'm proud that you remembered us. Great idea to start listing places in Britain. Blindly listing names of Native American tribes would be another very effective way of quickly grabbing more cities. Kudos to you on some fantastic spelling skills.
I also know Tulsa, im from germany and a fan of WWE Wrestling, former wrestler goldberg was Born there so they announced him every time he was running down the aisle
@@dennisk.7574 Germany? WWE has two W... what else has two W... World wars, who was the bad guy in the World wars? Germany! And where are you from? Germany I rest my case
As a Tennessean I was screaming Nashville and his “shut up” matched perfectly.
Not Chattanooga???
in the future for anyone watching, to name duplicate cities, for example: springfield... youll have to type in "springfield, MO" and "springfield, IL" ... "Portland, OR" "Portland, ME" etc.
"Utah. Salt Lake city.....
Idaho"
SLC is the only place we know too
Provo!
Park city🥴
St. George
Orem?
Fun fact utah has a ton of cities named after new york cause thats where they originally settled but then was forced to move to utah.
GeoWizard: "I'm gonna offend people with these midwest states"
GeoWizard: circles and includes Wyoming, Colorado , and other mountain states...
Me: "Yeah, you are..."
Offend *
@@shatteredvfx6499 that Missouri edjukashun
@@imbored7598 his point is those aren't midwest states, they're mountain.
lets go cardinals
I literally said out loud “i’m impressed” when you got Corpus Christi
ik it bc of kevin abstract lol
I grew up in Corpus. I was pretty shocked when he mentioned it.
It might be because it's a college in Oxford University, and when you hear names in the UK are also places in the US it stays in the memory
That's probably one of the more known costal cities in Texas. I'd be impressed if he said something like Aransas Pass.
It's a memorable name
When a British guy knows more American cities than probably half of America rn
When he said he's not that british he then went on to sound even more british than when he was joking
Exactly!
That map looks like my back
@Anita Handy Acne, madam
@A.A.Ron Davis Wait, so hot showers cause acne? Is it because your back sweats afterwards?
"I am going to offend a lot of people with these midwest states"
*points at mountain west*
St Louis?
@@marktyler3381 no
@Chris Travers You have to keep in mind that this was the "Midwest" to the U.S. before we had all the territory in the West
Lots of people in the mountain states also call it the Midwest, so you cant blame him
@@nicholasconklin9586 That does not make midwest the correct term. My Grandpa was born in Utah and grew up in Phoenix, I have cousins from Idaho, and I have been to the mountain states many times, and I've never heard anyone call it the midwest. Maybe I've just never got anyone to talk about it, though.
When you put put Winchester, that is a part of Las Vegas, and I live so close to Winchester!
anyone else shouting nashville at their screen? then he told me to shut up 😂
I was shouting St. Louis and Raleigh most of the time
Wow! Yale, Michigan, my hometown ! I was absolutely shocked 😂, population of 2,000!
Read that comment as the guy typed in Yale lol
as a Minnesotan, your trouble with Minneapolis pained me greatly
best part was he was pronouncing it correcting but then adding an extra 'an' when he went to spell it
Minionapolis
im from the midwest and everybody says minneanapolis its so hard not to
I'm from the Netherlands and yet it was painful to watch,even for me lol.
I think he was combining Minneapolis and Annapolis to create Minneanapolis
Press finish/save and the scroll down, then there are a link called "what did i miss?". then you will see all the big towns you missed and all the state captals. Also if you wanna double your score (at least the number of places), before you start change the settings from any states to all states. So many townnames exists in several different states. If you the write an name then boom you get 12 dots popping up
So I went and tried this but i realized that you literally can type in any European town/city name and have a 99% chance of getting it right.
*Slaps United States
This bad boy can fit so many New [Insert existing name]!
SweetDreamsAreMadeOfThese 😂😂😂
you can also name a city and have like a 20% chance there's like 5 cities of that name around the US
@@Uyt-m7an plate? Cup? Computer?
@@tuxedosteve9556 yes
I, as an American, can say you did better than at least 99% of the population. No joke
Americans don't even know where australia is on a map
@Frenk Frenk I hope to god you're meaning America... otherwise you're further proving the point here
American here, can confirm my geography is dogshit
@@jakoda2514 every video I've seen of Americans' geography skills demonstrates that Americans know almost nothing about the rest of the world
@Frenk Frenk most people know where Australia is, there is 300+ million people and not everyone is intelligent or tried in school. The education isn't great, but it's not that bad.
When he said “Pittsburg” at 4:09 he sounded so American
And when he said "Santa Monica man"
@@zynthyx and Atlanta
I've seen it in his other videos. His American accent is about on par with his crossing-a-country-in-a-straight-line skills, and better than his geoguessr skills. There's one in a video where he does a surfer dude accent that will make you do a double take to see if it's still him.
You warned us not to get up in arms about mispronunciation, so I wasn't too surprised when you kept saying O'Reagan for Oregon, but at 14:48 you actually pronounce it correctly out of nowhere. OR-uh-g'n would be the closest way to approximate local pronunciation.
A note on Fayetteville: this is only one of 36 cities/towns in America named after Marques LaFayette, a french general who helped America during the Revolution. 2nd most populous is my hometown of Lafayette, Louisiana, just an hour west of Baton Rouge.
In short, when I did this challenge I spammed "lafayette" "fayette" fayetteville" and state abbreviations after them because I knew I could get a ton lol.
Marquis de Lafayette was not his name, that was his title
Are you counting Lafayette, CO? because that was named after a completely different person.
@@ryan_alexander thanks, i actually didnt know that
@@ystem6836 im going off of wikipedia for the number, although another wiki page lists all derivatives of the name, which accounts for a lot more. so i believe the 36 number doesnt take that Lafayette into account.
Thanks for the knowledge of Stockton, Ca! Ive been here for 21 years (my whole life) and its home. I thought for sure youd skip right over us. Great head you got there you really work overtime remembering these places
He guessed a small town of 8,000 where I live. How awesome
What's it called?
Come on dude, which one was it, Lubbok?
Aha, I got it. "How awesome", sounds like California?
dodge city wasn’t it
william long dodge city has 30 thousand people
I was shook when you said my city of Lubbock, Tx. Hahaha Buddy Holly
