He'd def destroy me in almost any type of trivia, but I'd have made him my bitch in that one (by which I mean i would have gotten like 2 or 3 more than him correct).
I never imagined that me as a 23 year old man would be watching a 32 year old man play quizzes on a website that was introduced to me in 6th grade Computers class when I was a preteen.
I played Elite Dangerous for way too long and was slapping myself when the answers came up. Palladium, Gallium, Yttrium, Thallium, and Beryllium are all used in synthesizing in the game.
I was absolutely shocked when out local, seemingly bottomless fountain of pure consciouness and intellect didnt know the planets / stars / roman names associated with greek gods. He's still a monster in trivia games though
@@AphimaYT ikr, it seems like NL and my knowledge fit together like a puzzle piece. He knows literally everything I don't, and then my small wheelhouse of trivia knowledge is totally unknown to him.
Bruhh I dunno, he has this subtly stated intelligence where it's obvious he doesn't know everything because nobody does, but still ... I'd say he's got true intellect in many areas and is also humble about it. When he's ego it's clear he's being facetious which is how it should be, Levy gives me the same vibes lol
I have a pretty good breadth of knowledge but there are actually a lot of blindspots for sure, including mythology (as displayed here). Really I think I'm only super strong in culture/entertainment from like 1960->on, everything else I am definitely very beatable
@@Tuxfanturnip Ytterbium was one of the few I couldn't remember. For some reason I kept coming up with copper and potassium and kept going "No, that isn't right.." several times over before I realized I was a dumbass though, lol
@@JohnDoe-xx8yw I am not even sure what they were asking about. Was it about the element's name having double letter in them? During the question I kept thinking about the element symbols and did not get any with two of the same letter.
@@Slash-XVI Yes thats right, I thought it was elements that started and ended with the same letter so I was screaming nitrogen at the screen, then when I realised I was wrong I got palladium and yttrium and that was all :P (and I also studied chemistry lmao)
@@Slash-XVI You pretty much got it but yeah, it confused me at first as well. Any element whose name has two consecutive letters, for example gallium with "ll" or yttrium with "tt". It could definitely have been worded better
I felt that guy when he said he just took chemistry but couldn't answer the questions. I didn't even realize what it was asking at first. As soon as he entered potassium though my mind started screaming Ytterbium!
I like the idea of someone stumbling upon this content and seeing NL dabbing, and talking shit to his opponents and thinking to themselves "Wow. What an incredibly rude guy this Northernlion is"
This man's entire endgame was based around his obscure knowledge pertaining to actors whose first name is Kevin and you took this from him, he logged off afterwards staring at the ceiling wondering what just happened, how Ryan just pulled this man's little stick out in front of 70k viewers and ganked him off until nothing came out because he's a little boy.
I never knew this before, but the planet Uranus is an oddball named for a Greek god rather than a Roman one. He's the primordial god of the sky, and the father of the titans (Gaia being the mother) Also, for those wondering why Saturn didn't show up on the quiz, Saturn's greek equivalent is Cronus, who is a titan instead of a god
The fact that he hasn't even seen half the movies but he's still right is what makes this so amazing
Poor dude, you must've crushed his confidence when you messed with him on the Kevins lol
We absolutely need more quizzes where NL is completely out of his element, that greek god quiz was incredible content
that hurt to watch

@@Tuxfanturnip Agreed, the fact he was listing other greek gods at first was a bit mind boggling.
"Jupiter's wife? Meg" my sides are gone dude
Him screwing the other guy on Kevin’s made me laugh so hard
i’m baked out of my gourd and holy shit i haven’t laughed that hard at an NL moment since like 2014 NLSS days
He was so dialed in hahaha
You could feel the guy rage quit when it happened, too
The mere fact that he took 3 seconds to swipe the 2 remaining names exudes such raw power I can't even begin to describe
Actually the most BM thing he’s ever done and it was absolutely wonderful
I never imagined that me as a 23 year old man would be watching a 32 year old man play quizzes on a website that was introduced to me in 6th grade Computers class when I was a preteen.
dude, your me
To be fair, that's a pretty specific thing to imagine
Same my dude
17:12 dude really hit you with the "I just took chemistry and I can't"
What does that mean?
@@bas_ee It means they just took chemistry in school and still couldn't answer that quiz easily

the performance on greek roman gods one was just hilarious

"Uranus?...Uranus?...Uranus?...Uranus?...Uranus?..."
I mean, Uranus is Ouranos, not that difficult to remember. And Saturn is Kronos, he's not even technically a god
yooooo I'm in a Northernlion video, I'm a celebrity now
u got shit on but nice 😭😂👍🏽

"Can you name the elements with the same back to back letters in their name?"

The Sporcle content has been amazing lately!
Next stream is NL coaching Levy on how to become a Grand Trivia Master
That overly exasperated "My name is Lord??" got me
Well, well, NL, maybe somebody shouldn't have skipped so much dialogue in Hades.
That BM on the last quiz was just too good
NL's first few Roman gods being just other Greek gods sent me.
The look of pure confusion at the beginning of the 1930s quiz was unmatched
12:09 "You- you lost?!" had me in tears
I felt that guy when he said he just took chemistry but couldn't answer the questions. I didn't even realize what it was asking at first. As soon as he entered potassium though my mind started screaming Ytterbium!
I felt weird when I could only think of yttrium at first and then potassium and beryllium got guessed. Glad I'm not the only one respecting the Ys.
Ytterbium and Yttrium were the only ones I could think of ... but somehow could not think of Palladium or freaking Copper
"One of these have to be Saturn"
The pop off when he found Potassium rivaled even the best FGC moments. He was feeling himself on another level lol
I watched a man who prides himself on his wide berth of knowledge; spam Uranus 18 times.
The world will end when future generations discover the great persimmonium deposits deep within the crust of Mars, triggering the P Bomb Wars.
"MY NAME IS LORD!"
All of these had me so hype, but the last one with actors names, that's where NL really popped off the gourd
Sporcle is extremely pogged content.
12:49 has extreme 'DA VINKY' energy.
Miss those “ey everybody” 🤧
This is fun content NL, haven't been able to catch every stream, so it's nice to watch these without having to watch the entire VOD
I like the idea of someone stumbling upon this content and seeing NL dabbing, and talking shit to his opponents and thinking to themselves "Wow. What an incredibly rude guy this Northernlion is"
This man has a made a whole career on “useless” information and I respect the content
his enthusiasm for trivia is not something i ever expected but i am here for it
Imagine playing Asian geography and only knowing the easiest ones, while your opponent can pinpoint "Timor-Leste" no problem..
Congrats to NL on 840k. He's been on a killer streak of videos this last year, and the consistent rise in subs shows it.
“One of these has to be Saturn”
Apollo:👀
There's Yemen, Oman, and now there's Obaby
Without this video I never would’ve known that Apollo was the god of jumping high into outer space
This video is gold. NL tearing up the competition in movie trivia is top content.
This man's entire endgame was based around his obscure knowledge pertaining to actors whose first name is Kevin and you took this from him, he logged off afterwards staring at the ceiling wondering what just happened, how Ryan just pulled this man's little stick out in front of 70k viewers and ganked him off until nothing came out because he's a little boy.
As a dude who loves Greek Mythology, the Roman equivalent quiz hurt me so bad.
I really liked these videos. It's awesome seeing you do new topics and areas!
I've never seen anyone more confused than NL starting the 1930s quiz
Watched this live but gonna watch it again because of how absolutely POG it was
This man has literally programmed his own trivia game. Nobody stands a chance.
this is what we want NL, let the trivia pog flow directly into my membrane
this content is honestly gold, what with this and AI dungeon my gourd is absolutely brimming
Ok tbf on that elements one, I once memorized the entire periodic table and I can only come up with Ytterbium, Beryllium, Copper, and Potassium.
These videos with classical music like in the list videos would be extreme pog
guessing potassium was the hypest moment of the year so far
When he typed potassium and was so happy to get it right made me the happiest I've been all day
“You match up against me in a movie quiz, give up” 😂
Watching you struggle to get the roman equivalent names for greek gods really helped boost my self-esteem thanks
Haha Ryan's insane trivia knowledge combined with my scientific/nerdy knowledge can beat any Jeopardy quiz.
Seeing the trivia god struggle on basic greek and roman mythology was honestly shocking
Northernlion is the Magnus Carlsen of Sporcle, no doubt in my mind
Never has there been a more pog rich trivia showdown
Never has there ever been a more NL series than Sporcle
I like how NL is like pop culture nerd when asked about movies and such, but when faced with a question on actual erudition he's like derp.
Oh please more, egg
12:34
The confused stare. ACTUAL riot. Pog.
Baron Egg flexing on poor Meg was magnificent.
the Roman equivalents of Greek Gods actually brought me emotional duress
If you cant handle me at my (Chess) then you dont deserve me at my (Sporcle)
i love these. I hope they do not leave
Yo, its so good I could watch it a second time
Pray to whatever god you want that this man doesn’t find you on the battlefield that is sporcle
Someone needs to make a northernlion out of context compilation and add “Just start naming planets” to it
This is like when nl says if he was good at a game and could talk it would kill . This fucking kills
Watching NL blitz out movies and actors is frightening
I caught this one live and it was SO entertaining. The geoguessr battle royale and this, it has me pogged! ANd the chess stuff

dropping a BIG W on that themed word ladder
Who's this jabroni who knows that Vulcan is the Roman version of Hephaestus but doesn't know Hades=Pluto?
Holy macaroni the knowledge on films...
Hearing him pronounce Hebrides wrong was incredible.
I had to look up the meme he does at the very end, and oh boy, it's based as hecc
Thanks NL, this video was hilarious and fun to watch :')
Love the variety content
Shoutout to handsome pants for the acknowledgment of his lacking chemistry knowledge
New golden age right here boys
I found it funny how he decided to try the 1 planet with a Greek name and tried that for all the Roman gods
"Zeus is Apollo" the gasp i let out
When NL doesn’t get the Roman equivalents, pfft I see you’re missing the Percy Jackson/heroes of Olympus pop culture phenomenon from your wheelhouse
He's a Boomer not a Zoomer
