theres multiple youtube clips where they ask people to point out simple things like "wheres australia" and they point at norway and other countrys who arent even close to Aus on the map. it's not an assumption its a fact. Americans tend to only learn about themselfs in school (america,native americans and maybe England) but thats roughly it. The average american has barely a clue whats going on outside of their own country.
How does what I just said not matter? I pretty much just proved w/a thought experiment that his past education was a non-factor in this situation. I'd reckon that Barkley was so off simply because his career for the past 30 years has had nothing remotely requiring him to know where the Congo is.
TOXIC PVP Pretty accurate, knowing Sweden’s current illegal immigration situation. In addition to refugees fleeing from Arabic countries, there’s also a lot of refugees coming in from African countries.
Decetop David when he was correcting Charles while moving the Argentina marker, he mistaken Tahiland with Korea in 4.06 he says "it's like umm Korea" (looking at producer or someone like thet for help). So this three other americans, as you said, knew where this countries are, because before the show they told them. I'm sure that they wouldn't know where those countires are either like majority of americans.
just calm down, I bet you can't name the African countries on the map. lets be honest. everybody knows where USA is. but it doesn't mean Americans have to know everybody's country.
Larry The US educational system is horrible, and you know it. You should at least know what continent the country is in when naming it. Heck, he put fucking Argentina in Asia, wtf is that?
Skipperino Forserino lol I'm African but was fortunate to travel to most Middle East countries before the US reunited it and been living in Australia for 12 years so yes I do know A lot of geography
It probably varies from state to state as well. But to that claim, I agree to a certain extent. So many spoiled kids who are entitled to anything, and parents just kiss their asses and don't, "parent."
Quick! We must rewrite the geography of the world according to Sir Charles! Namibia is now Sudan. Madagascar is now Congo. Burma is now Argentina. Columbia is now Jamaica. And Georgia is now an independent country within the US! All hail Sir Charles!
0:46 This was the time when EJ was not feeling himself, if u watch his story in the Inside Story documentary when he was diagnosed with cancer following the 2006 All-Star Game. Just look at his face, Ernie has an good heart!
Why did I watch this video? Now I will never look at Charles the same way again. LOL. Can't believe one of my favorite personalities is this bad at geography!
I can let Chuck pass with not knowing where the countries exact locations at, put at least know the continent! Congo Europe? Argentina Asia? Georgia NA?
I don't know why all of you well learned(ha) individuals are making assumptions about a place you know nothing about. Any educated person would find Charles's lack of geographical understanding appalling, regardless of their nationality. Also, it is foolish to make assumptions about an entire nation of people based on five minute videos you have seen on the internet.
Ahh good ol VHS Cassette Recording, back when this was the only way, no dvr yet or DVD-RW wasn't standardized as format that everyone had in there homes.
Taking a course on world history is required here in the US for graduation from high school. So we do learn about it, but stupid people either don't pay attention or drop out.
Sadly most americans are poor on world geography. Charles got all 5 wrong.he wasnt even close! And you wonder why the world considers americans arrogant. Americans are generally friendly but need to make more of an effort especially when overseas by embracing all cultures.
Don't worry Chuck, we could do that test with 90% of the US population and they would fail it just as badly. But a black American guy not knowing where Jamaica is?? Especially if your friend is Patrick Ewing.
That is legitimately completely false, you picked one person whose American and assumed most Americans can't pick out countries on a map. You're just stereotyping.
Either Chuck gets paid to act stupid and goofy or he's completely dumb. Clearly he's not paid for his expert analysis on the game. Thats why people love Chuck.
do americans know how what is a MAP ??? coz every time i look at some american guy or girl trying to locate a country , they're always wrong 9 times out of ten!
at least chuck had an excuse that he was earning in the millions when you're loaded education is the last thing you should worry about i mean look at AI
Countries according to Sir Charles DR Congo= Sweden/Madagascar Sudan=Namibia Jamaica=Argentina/Ecuador Argentina=Myanmar/Thailand Georgia (country)=Georgia (U.S. State)
"I think I did pretty good"
You got every single one wrong, Charles.
"i think i did pretty good" lmao
LOL He Failed Badly
RIP Coach Thompson. Chuck... oohwee that Auburn education
He put Congo in Europe (Sweden). He put Argentina in Southeast Asia.

Plus there used to be the Vancouver Grizzlies
Toronto Raptors are in Canada.
how did chuck even go to college?
he said around italy. Charles wouldnt kno where he was if he just said sweden. DUH
My goodness 😂😂
People, although I posted an ignorant comment 6 month ago, I apologize for my ignorance in basketball.
LOL he put congo at sweden

He wouldn't be that wrong nowadays...
“I got it right the first time?”
Almost right in 2021
@@consistentinconsistency3867 Not coming from the DRC dipshit
I don't think chuck is helping the stereotype that americans have no idea where any country is located except canada and mexico
What about the three other Americans on the show that DID know where the countries were?

If you listen closer he actually corrected himself and said thailand. lets be honest korea wasnt too far away. it as in the vicinity.
+Huey Freeman yeah just like USA and Mexico - so what´s the difference right?
The Ferryman
Yh whats the difference?
RIP Coach John Thompson, the gentle giant.
RIP
John Thompson was NOT a gentle giant. Ask the drug dealers of DC.
Chuck: “OH DAS ALABAMA!” 😂💀
Chuck and his German roots
thas turrible
theSolo33 I straight up read this in Chuck's voice
lol they need to bring back "where we at"
I'm from Sweden, and I've actually lived in Congo. I was on the floor laughing!
"thats like a couple miles" BRUH IM DEAD OML
Couple thousand lmao
"you were up there around Italy" Ernie isn't better than Charles haha
even when guessing Georgia STATE's location he was on south carolina lmfao
Haha this is like grade 6 geography..but he went to college lmao
As Shaq would say "Auburn University boi" loll

"Thats that Auburrr University education" lmaooo
This was just sad
they should re do this to see how much he still doesn't know lol
"I had a general idea", lol no you didn't chuck
Can't believe geography isn't taught in our public schools; really is an under-appreciated and devalued subject. Just ask Michael Jordan.
Jake Johnson It is though. Kids just don't pay attention
It probably varies from state to state as well. But to that claim, I agree to a certain extent. So many spoiled kids who are entitled to anything, and parents just kiss their asses and don't, "parent."
Jake Johnson We learn where the U.S states are, even then people just forget and can point out like
5 or 6/50
“I think I did pretty good” 🤣🤣😂😂😂
please somebody tell me he was joking for the show......fucking hell
+The Ferryman American education. He went and got a scholarship in College too.
+fluidacid shut up

no need to get rude Billy Bob
Like everyone knows where the Congo, Sudan or Georgia are at exactly without looking at a map. The only two that were easy were Argentina and Jamaica.
coronaflo
10 bucks say you're American...
"it's somewhere in here"
*proceeds to change his mind to another continent*
Rest easy coach Thompson
wow didnt know they made this show in 1974....
Wow, he is really bad educated, to mistake Congo for Sweden)) Wow!
You "corrected" that wrong also, as it actually is Sweden.
Mikkel Jørgensen
i don´t know, jamaica for argentina might be even worse
"Bad educated"
Not even getting the right continent is insane
at 3:24 "Diva" Erni said Italy, but that was Sweden.
god bless coach he did give nba and basketball whole lot of legends
Quick! We must rewrite the geography of the world according to Sir Charles!
Namibia is now Sudan.
Madagascar is now Congo.
Burma is now Argentina.
Columbia is now Jamaica.
And Georgia is now an independent country within the US!
All hail Sir Charles!
Exactly. When you're making millions off of playing basketball, improving your geographical knowledge isn't typically at the top of your to-do list.
Still...
Basic knowledge, but then again, few profesional players can barely ✍️ their own names
Does america have any schools
I wish I had 6 hands so I could face palm every time he touched the map
+Some CoolName you would need 6 faces too
+Eladrio RAU Or one big face
Not bad, Chuck! You were at least on the right planet.
@4:44, “oh that’s Alabama” lmao
He was putting Argentina in India 😂😂😂... Indians would've been jubilant to have Messi from over here
He went to college?!! Someone tell me it's just s joke
He was paid to go to college by the corrupt scouts...
who cares he's hilarious LOL
He went to college...to play sports.
0:46 This was the time when EJ was not feeling himself, if u watch his story in the Inside Story documentary when he was diagnosed with cancer following the 2006 All-Star Game. Just look at his face, Ernie has an good heart!

Congo in Sweden and Argentina somewhere around Thailand... damn, you just gotta love Chuck...
I can let Chuck pass with not knowing where the countries exact locations at, put at least know the continent!
Congo Europe?
Argentina Asia?
Georgia NA?
+Mohammad Abu Ata To be fair, he thought it they were talking about the state gerogia.
@@boqor3780 he still got it wrong
I wonder if Chuck can find the location of all the teams in the nba
lol american education system
they gave him 90secs n talked for 15secs between handing him the sticker lol
I love Charles but they really gotta start making these college athletes go to class
To be honest, the average person would have gotten most of those wrong -- if not all.

that auburn education at its finest
i honestly believe he is acting, no one is that stupid
It worries me how bad he did , especially Argentina omg , " I was close " ... Uh no gtfo
It's certainly funny and sad. More like tragicomic.
For a guy that's done a lot of travelling, Barkley doesn't have a clue does he?
I feel like Chuck should sue the Alabama educational system
RIP coach Thompson
hahaha "I think I did pretty good"
Sadly most americans are poor on world geography. Charles got all 5 wrong.he wasnt even close! And you wonder why the world considers americans arrogant. Americans are generally friendly but need to make more of an effort especially when overseas by embracing all cultures.
You don't know what the word arrogant means. I think you mean ignorant buddy.
Man people in the comments need to learn how to just laugh at something and then move on. You all are harsh on Chuck.
this is turribad
quality is so bad
canada is America's hat?
Omg. But I'm sure plenty of black Americans don't even know any of those African countries are at lol.
Also the Vancouver Grizzlies (now in Memphis obviously)
Coach Thompson definitely gave him Argentina next right after he pinned Jamaica on it on purpose, lol
Come on Chuck!!! You went to auburn!!! Lmao
Well, Sweden is on roughly the same line of longitude as Congo.
0:00 when you say something agreeable on the internet
Nuff said, only foreign countries they know are Canda and Mexico.
Don't worry Chuck, we could do that test with 90% of the US population and they would fail it just as badly.
But a black American guy not knowing where Jamaica is?? Especially if your friend is Patrick Ewing.
I hope he missed Argentina on purpose just to be funny
I Think He Did It Intentionally Just To Prove How Stupid He Is
That is legitimately completely false, you picked one person whose American and assumed most Americans can't pick out countries on a map. You're just stereotyping.

I know, I'm saying that NBA is only in the USA, the other countries aren't part of it.
Each country has their own basketball competitions.
not that funny at all. he said u were up BY italy....which on the map is closer than you think cause u perhaps live in europe.
its only a couple miles LOL damn this is entertaining television lol
Well, Ernie isn't that good himself either. The first place where Chuck put Congo was Sweden, nowhere near Italy....
Well he did make millions from doing it and now he's making millions from talking about it so he's not that dumb.
they should bring this back!
well...i dont know where they are exactly on a unlabeled map but at least get the general area right.
I'll excuse him for the Congo and Sudan (those African countries are tricky), but the rest? Come on...
Yeah I would bet money he knows Jamaica is really an island and the DRC is not in the far north.
No looking back I thought the guy who was correcting him put the georgia sign on armenia. My bad
Geography the american way...my dad is asian now! And my wife's from Sweden or Madagascar...
you can tell he focused on basketball in school 🤣🤣
Why would anyone bother to remember where Georgia is lol
Charles can be so stupid sometimes, but still he's so funny.
3:28 that's like a couple miles LOL
Countries according to Sir Charles
DR Congo= Sweden/Madagascar
Sudan=Namibia
Jamaica=Argentina/Ecuador
Argentina=Myanmar/Thailand
Georgia (country)=Georgia (U.S. State)
I hope charles is faking this, This is really bad... No disrespect at all.
