Intelligent Americans are a rapidly shrinking minority.
Rent the movie Idiocracy. It will explain us perfectly.



Very funny, but I have to believe there were a few people who knew the right answer.
hilarious video from same people, Trojan horse:

i guess it should have been better phrased to "are there no americans who know anything about other parts of the world" lol
they totally would have edited all the smart answers out tho, and i bet if it was done in australia, there woud be just as much material on stupid people.
I love that bit where he convinced everybody on Hollywood Blvd. that he was John Howard.![]()





This is the reason I hate watching videos like this. It's total crap. You could go anywhere in the world and get the exact same types of answers. It doesn't prove anything other than one person's agenda to pick on a certain group of people and make them look stupid. Not to mention that for all you know, more people answered correctly than what were shown only those were obviously edited out.

Very entertaining and funny. I think Americans enjoy being lampooned, hence these kind of videos are easy to come by.
Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!
I have taught that the sky in all its zones is mortal and its substance was formed by a process of birth





"He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"





Truly intelligent Americans are not only rare, they are in a shrinking category.
Look at the literacy figures, the average reading level, the percentage of people who actually buy books. Then when you see what the average person who does buy books is reading, it is even more frightening.

Yep, beat me to this post. It's called editing, people. You think that if I went to New Zealand or the UK or Italy or wherever that EVERY person I asked these questions of would get the answers right? No, and if I wanted to make the citizens of _____________ look dumb, I'd just show the answers of those who idiots who are, well...idiots.
Lol, I LOVE Chasers War On Everything! I love their wrong map, that was funny!
Its true though, sadly there are stupid people everywhere.





me lose brain? why me laugh.





Edit: Errr, my main point was that this may not be how Americans really are... but it's how the rest of the world VIEWS them. I say this is an accurate portrayal of how the entire world views American society - but not an accurate portrayal of the society itself.

Sometimes I wonder if Americans REALLY know how the rest of the world sees them...
I mean, yeah, this video is horrendously edited...
... but that doesn't stop 8 billion people thinking your country is a masochistic, tyrannical and pig-headed society...
.. and then Americans post a bunch of things about being number one, best country in the world... etc.... and yet not one of them (usually) has visited another country!
Even I'm starting to get sick of all the pro-America and only-America stuff on the Internet (like when people say they're from the 'West Coast'... you always have to assume America!)...
like, what's to be proud of when everybody hates you?

I say this is an accurate portrayal of how the entire world views American society - but not an accurate portrayal of the society itself.
It's all in good fun, and I love shit like that, but when people take it seriously (omg! Americans are so dumb), I wonder if they get the irony... that they are being just as dumb by believing that what they saw was an accurate representation of America.

I live here and I have to agree with you LM.. sadly
It always makes me feel a little embarrassed inside when I meet a young person from Europe who speaks 3 languages and has visited 8 different countries. I know they are closer together over there but still..
Isn't the average reading level of Americans around the 6th grade level or something ridiculous like that?

I sit here, returned from a trip, thinking about the stupid American things I relied on: Highway system, passenger jet technology, airport construction and engineering, automobiles, computer hardware, computer software, cellular phone system, televisions, land line system, fueling system, retail food and goods distribution, and on and on. Stupid people were responsible for the design of all those.
While I was traveling, I met people who were products of very diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds, as well as naturalized Canadians, Pakistanis, Israelis, Iraqis, Mexicans, Columbians, Nigerians, South Africans, Chinese, Japanese, and probably a few others I'm forgetting right now. Yup, you can sure fit Americans all into one category.
Even the video (gotta wonder who designed the video equipment, the satellite system, and the fiber optics that those signals went out on) wasn't original. Jay Leno does this about once a week, calls it "Jay-walking," and has been doing it for years, to point out some humorous stupidity of people on the street. Since this particular one wasn't very original, I didn't watch it past the first 10 seconds. But I assume it was as funny as his segment is, except for the fact that he makes fun of subject people, while this one tried to project it to an entire nation.
Stupid Americans, yeah, I can point out a bunch. But it's like parachuting into the Mojave and saying, "Wow, the U.S. is nothing but desert!"
Yeah, I notice that the Jaywalking segments AND this video are almost all on Venice Beach and the touristy spot in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood. That spot in front of the Chinese is in my neighborhood and I can honestly attest that it's populated with the absolute dumbest tourists that America has to offer. I have to walk through that area fairly often and I call it running The Gauntlet of Stupid.
