Host: Africa is a continent
Everyone: surprised Pikachu face
Lol... everyone?
😂😂
True tho
It would be hilarious if one of them refused to accept they where wrong.
@Nadia Blue failed with falling colours
I bet they were using a distorted map of the world, one that looks normal from the camera's perspective, but virtually unrecognizable from the interviewee's perspective.
dude: "i know South Africa's over here somewhere"
also dude: *points north*
It frustrates me!! LIKE IT'S IN THE NAME: *SOUTH* AFRICA!! WHAT MORE DO U NEED smh🗡🗡💀
I facepalmed so hard I broke my nose cartilage.
If you put the map upside down he might be right 🤣
Oh my Gosh, they don't know south and north, do they?
This is why there’s instructions on a shampoo bottle 😂
"I know south africa is here somewhere"
*Circles the northern most part of Africa*
lmao
The name of the country literally gives the location away
This is so frustrating and satisfying at the same time
@Liezel Mckan who said american education was good lol
....SOUTH Africa....
They’re just actors nobody is this stupid
The adults: “Africa.”
The kid: probably could name every country
- "The kid: probably could name every country"
I don't think so. The kid skipped five (out of twelve) South-American countries, as well as all countries of Central America and the Caribbean.
But kudos to him for recognising and naming Iceland correctly!
@@yurenchu (I’m was being slightly sarcastic )
@@jaggerhex1767 Ah, I see. Although I'd have to concur that maybe the kid could indeed name every country _in Africa_ . :-)
@@yurenchu yeah :)
@@yurenchu to be fair Guyana and Suriname is pretty hard. Island countries might be too small and too many to name all of them...
That lady who said ,,Who knows stuff like that” absolutely got my geography obsessed friend angry, I am pretty good at geography but my friend is just amazing at geography. He was literally screaming at the screen for 10 minutes.
What a nerd womp womp
Imagine living in America and pointing to an entirely different continent
and calling it a country
@@xueiyuu Just highlights the American educational system
That is just sad😂😂
Lady behind camera: do you think you know where America is?
Girl: *points to Russia* I think it’s the big one?
IMao just send this there
"south africa's over here somewhere..."
* points to north africa *
Me: Dies.
First of all it is south not north so you cant fail that hard and it is Africa not America the name sais alllllll
@@roleks560 you ruined the joke
@@abeanafaustin2661 nope didnt ruin anything i just said the fact the People couldnt show were the countrys are
Also wasnt a joke it is poor
@@roleks560 the joke was funny and you pointed out the obvious.
That last kid singlehandedly restored the faith that had been lost listening to all the adults.
Probably a Canadian tourist
Saaaaame, I was so pissed and then he made my day
Still annoyed he called Greenland a country
@@analienwithwifi4783, well it is autonomous and with its own government, so kind of a country - though a part of Denmark.
@@solna7214 ye but it’s still not a country
Oh God. England, France, Canada, America, Russia, Italy, Australia, Iceland
This is embarrassing for me, and I'm not even American.
Yeah, i felt bad for them
In germany we call that 'fremdscham'
You know America is a continent, right? I think you meant US citizens 🙃
@@camilaalves09 Wait i thought America was a Frog species-
@@camilaalves09 I know, I'm european you see bcz Europe is a continent and I live on that continent
"Who knows stuff like this?"

No just everyone
No. Just everyone. It's okay Americans bad at geography. But at least they have to know where they are
@@Frost-bv2ue Literally anyone if you just use the metric system.
Anyone who's ever been bored and played through a quiz site. I can identify most of them because of that except for the smaller islands which are a ***** to identify to me. What's the difference between Tonga and Palau? **** if I know. They're both in the Pacific somewhere, ok?
Challenge: Take a shot every time an American says Africa is a country
i don't want to die
😂 😂 😂 That's a suicide mission
I'd die even with shots of Coke
@@HiyasuJ I'd die with sips of water
The whole would would die from that over a thousand times.
australia is something clear on map!
i think americans think, Australia is in London 😂
Everyone: AFRICA!
The kid: Imma boutta end these people’s whole careers
I'm disappointed in America.
kid got greenland wrong, but they still plinged it as accepted :S
PS: Greenland is not a country
@CD Smith id say the issue was as big as Africa as a country
And he didn't mention any country from africa.
Angel Gutierrez (949AngGuti) that was aggressive lol
If this happend in Europe people would be offended by the stupid question
Totally
I'm an european person
Because u guys colonized the whold world lol
krishh krishh yeah 400 years ago, doesn’t mean we are all bad guys and doesn’t mean you have to be so stupid bc Europeans colonized you. And quick reminder mostly 4 countries did that-France, Spain, UK, Portugal. Don’t blame everything on colonization and Europeans just because you don’t know how our world looks like.
@@krishhkrishh5843 1. Europe consists more countries than France, UK, Spain and Portugal. Some European countries were occupied by others.
2. What does it have to do with BASIC knowledge of "Show ANY country and name it"
A child, a CHILD could say correctly almost all America and the adults didn’t even know where Europe was?
Incredible
That’s not that impressive of him to be honest.
Or maybe it is, and I just went to a really great school or something like that.
Must be an European tourist
@@pepearown4968 great school? 😂😂 that is basic knowledge gosh
im a teen who studys geo and i could name around 50 or more
LUKE_K's_GAMINGWAY By country shape?
Or can you just name 50 countries without knowing what they look like and their location on the map? If so, that’s not as impressive,
the way the kid aced it while the adults couldn't even recognize the us from there
"I know South Africa"
*POINTS ON NORTH AFRICA*
Woman: "No it's *SOUTH*
Man: *OOPS*
Greenland and Iceland are literally the opposite of what their name suggests
@@Max-bq9qd True 😂🤦♂️ smh
Dude: I know South Africa is around here
dude: points north
Lol 😆
Me, as a South African, feel offended 😂😂😂
Lindi Lotter same :0
That was me haha I faked the thing to make it on the show lol
Not if you're looking from Australia's perspective 🙃
Damn even a 6 year old kid born in Europe could at least know where is his motherland
Leonardo Nico so glad I live in Europe 😂
And more than that
Some time I think people in my country are stupid but at least they are not that stupid and hello form 'oversea' canada
Even an Asian kid too
Every country there's these type of people that doesn't know where's the own country. I'm brazilian and if u show a map to some people in my class, they will say that greenland is the continent of europe lol

@@aguacateadosmilpesitos yeah so I hope it'll change. They think they're the best at everything. Americans don't realize that. They think the world loves them.
@@aguacateadosmilpesitos the other day I was at a restaurant and there were 2 Americans, so loud and so rude. And the worst part is that they don't realize it and have no shame.
@@blingoty yeah i know, most of them would go to any other country and they don't even care to learn the language of the country they're in, they get mad the locals don't know English 😂 they're just so obnoxious and full of themselves that they don't realize no one really likes or respect them 🤷🏻♀️

South Africa then points to the D R C
@@grodule2758 Their agenda is comedy or fun purposes through idiocracy, reason why they omit the clips who're not into their goal.
Tho viewers might assume discrimination towards ppl of USA of being stupid at first.
The adults: we live in the country of Pluto in the state of America
That one kid: GREENLAND RUSSIA KAZAKHSTAN TAJIKISTAN PAPUA NEW GUINEA PUERTO RICO VATICAN CITY PALAU *names every single country in oceania*
I learned the name of every country two weeks ago; before that I knew very few in Oceania and the Caribbean. But even then I'm Einstein compared to most of the people in the video.
this should be titled: "are you smarter than a 10 year old"
More like are you smarter than literally anyone under the age of -5
It's easier for a kid, he just learn that. And they probably cut thousands of people who were right and cut thousands of kids who were wrong just to make people look stupid.
@@XxKidnoffxX the fact that there are people who cant even name their own country on a map is pretty depressing
@@XxKidnoffxX my mom is 49 years old and she can name more countries than me that i´m 17. It´s actually scary seeing a first world country like this. Here in Argentina you can´t pass to secondary school not knowing at least all the countries in America. (Here we have 5 continents. America, Asia, Europe, Oceania and Africa)
@@martiarnouk It's the same everywhere, we all have exams and need to know all the continents, ocean and country, people just forget over time...
Normally, younger you are, and better you are, because it's fresh. I already did a IQ test when I was young (high shcool), I hit 140-160 (and yes it's just insane), but the questions was about general knowledge we just learn at school. Today (i'm 31), the same test, and I'm not sure I hit 80 lol
The fact you can get a college degree without being able to find your own country on a map hurts me deeply.
The school system sucks
Imagine this person being more qualified than you to the eyes of every "talent acquisition" partners because she's more educated.
Its tge perfect way make people now everything about thier job and nothing about anything else this way its easy to control
To be honest this looks staged, way too stupid to be real, and its jimmy kimmel so no surprises there
@@clemtf No. Remember a few years back a Harvard student asked a bunch of fellow Harvard students what the Canadian capital was? Turned out only one got it right, and she is a Canadian. (Answers ranged from Toronto to Vancouver to Ontario to Quebec, you name it.)
“I know South Africa’s over here somewhere”

but there are ✨americans✨ who don't know where they live
@Natalie French I am not sure, but I think that it is (with Europe Africa and Asia on the left) the normal they have it in America. But if you live in Asia, Europe or Africa it is the other, but I am not sure cause I live in Germany and learned it like that ahaha wish u the best:)
@Natalie French lol
Americans: Hold my shotgun.
@Natalie French the orientation of the map is no excuse. If they can't recognise the shapes of the continents in any orientation then they clearly have never used a globe.
