Just the fact that these gentleman understand every word of the speaker is already impressive. Not even the cc could keep up with the accent.
it's neutral english
@@JP-mu5er accent
Also the fact they are in a big chamber with an echo does not help
I don't understand too well either but I don't think they have an accent. It's just normal British English.
Of all the English accents, how on earth is this one hard to understand? "Keep up" with the accent? I must be hearing something else 😂😂
the audacity that i have to pretend thinking of the answers while i was struggling to understand the questions
😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA LMAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAO OMG IM LAUGHING
This is so underrated comment I have ever seen...
yes 😂
Me too my english not the best xd
I can proudly say that I not only couldn't get a single question right but wasn't even able to understand the question to begin with.
Listening skills
Lmao
😂
😂
😂😂
This is the best big bang theory episode in all season 3
Lol
Omg jajajajja
Bazinga!
Omg hahaha, absolutely!
Love at the final question when it starts with “This economist…” and the economics student from Oxford immediately leans forward.
33:46
@@cariocap2a THANKSSSSSSSS
haha
haha i did the exact same when the architecture questions came (just finished arch)
Dude, I read your comment and went looking and clicked exactly on the 33:48 min... OmG.
Perfectly balanced team. 3 spectacle guys in each team.
This shit has me dying
They probably even put on purpose the 2 guys without the glasses in the middle right
So true.
Spectacles have some extra neurons that they add to the wearer. 😅
the new meta
lets wear some spectacles to get genius 😂
You need to understand that these guys are much smarter than even the ordinary Oxford/Cambridge student, I study at Cambridge and I would have lost so bad on this one
What do you study?
@@ll-vj2uu I am doing my undergraduate, currently year 2 in the Engineering course and will be choosing my specialization in year 3. I am mostly likely going to choose electrical and information sciences.
@@rkrough6996 That's great. Good for you. Would you say that the classes are much better than at other universities?
@@rkrough6996 , why are you omerican England. Who are you. How are you. Best universities, bananas, palaces. Aaa
I understood that that with just see them.
I don't know why I was still listening despite of not understanding anything😂😂
Same here 😂😂
HAHAHAH
Yeah tf
Yehh same here 🥲
Same😂
19:10 the man three rows back whispers the answer to his mate. legendary.
That cheeky nod when the answer was read cracked me up.
The only asnwer I kew was that and the walking dead.
U are that person and you are calling yourself legendary ... Nothing more shameful
@@miyamoto900lollll I don’t think that’s the case
@@miyamoto900 wtf are u on meth
The pure joy i got from knowing an answer before all of them is immeasurable!
I know right😂. But you can't compare their ocean of knowledge, trying to find a single information in it
nerd🤓
@@rex7418dumbass🤡
Yet there’s a reason you’re not up there
I only knew the question whose answer was Macedonia
10 points to Gryffindoor!
Minus 10 Gazilion points from grrrrrrrifindor -snape

I'm still hoping for a Hogwarts Oxford final one day...fingers crossed.
Hermione Granger: "Yay!!!"
Just realized how genius I am. I answered all the questions correctly right after they answered.
Me too I predicted the questions and I have already knew the answers even before the competition was planned to be held.
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
34:10 i laughed so hard at the flinching with the pats on the back... These guys are so nerdy, but they're also just absolute legends 🤣
nah ur a bastard for that
The top left guy is one of my current maths teachers!!! Can't believe my eyes when I see the thumbnail😂
Lucky boy!
😲
Is it true
@@ms.perfectionist2835 well he teaches at my school
He's a Sheldon Cooper
The students are so polite and calm.
What else would you expect from students representing 2 of the best universities in the world
I saw Richard Freeland on University Challenge years ago. He's still brilliant and absolutely lovely.
I would love to see Oxford and Cambridge team interviews on where these students learnt all these facts which regular human beings struggle to even understand what the question being asked is in order to provide any sort of fact in the first place. Across such a wide variety of topics and question types it's almost unbelievable how they know so much STUFF!
It's practice and study
Read encyclopedia Britannica
Thank you for opening my eyes that i know nothing 😂.. you guys are amazing!
😂
😂😂😂
Me too... i don't even graduate..only till secondary school
i havent watched it all yet but so many of these questions r so useless lol
@@humanaccount2754 that is kind of how general trivia be
They all have such a typical look, it's really quite unique how looks can in fact tell you a lot about a person.
Physiognomy is correct most of the time.
Failure of crossing over ?
@@BenHax well those who prize high intelligence will wish to present themselves as intelligent
Yes the looks of losers
Nerds
The guy on the left from Oxford University is just brilliant
Yup. Couldn’t agree more.
He was the MVP, for sure
they're all exactly how you'd expect them to look
They’re answering quicker than I can process the question
14:33 all of them were in sync with head movement
😂
The One Cambridge guy not wearing glasses is so sweet
This video is so british it colonized my phone
Hahahah good one
😂😂
My favorite aspect of this competition was how well the teams were rounded out... each person complimented the other with his knowledge. You could tell when someone was in their field of expertise..
Being able to answer a science question then a random knowledge one back to back is the best feeling
Amazing that they are well versed in General Knowledge that fluctuate randomly in time. To very specific geographical region- to specific books- concepts in specialized fields so on!
1:14 the way the top left guy claps🤣🤣🤣posh boy
I think he's on the spectrum bro
@@chrinarai why tf was i watching this
@@alexbarnett6488 real talk why am I here🤣
@@kanthony9154 LMAOO REAL BRUH
Guys it’s not always about the university it’s also about the personal effort
I don't think this sort of facts is even taught at a university. This is stuff you either know or do not know long before finishing grammar school.
Some is taught, I knew a lot of the STEM questions from uni. The history/art/architecture/literature/political deep cuts are self taught
@@u.v.s.5583A lot of it absolutely is taught in university. Some of the literature might not be in most classes but the science absolutely is. The current events you can get by following world news
I thought the 2 guys with glasses from Oxford University are twins- the guys who sat beside each other.
Btw, they are all amazing. Congratulations.
The comeback from cambridge at the middle was really entertaining haha, they were down 85 points, and they managed to overtake oxford by 5. Simply genius, especially from Krol!
This makes it pointless to watch haha
Oxford made a great comeback
Great minds right here, pleasure to watch.
You making that impact on every video Mr Birioti . Keep it up we need more of these
They all did great! Hope everyone is doing well and have a good life. God bless y’all ❤
Well done guys. You are real hard-fought. It's easy to go around social media from morning to night and rant as if you know something. you chose the hard way and it's not for everyone.
Each team needs a token guy without glasses
has wokism gone too far?
He's the jock.
I just like how both teams have one guy not wearing glasses
Is anyone else here trying to answer the questions? I've been able to answer one of them spot on and I feel so good about myself rn
i am 3 minutes in watching this and i dont understand a word. lord theyre good thoughh
I've watched very many episodes of University Challenge with Jeremy Paxman reading the questions. And I've never had any difficulty understanding the questions. But here, they're difficult to understand because of less than clear diction. It is a bother to listen to.
@@castelodeossos5042 this message is typed exactly how i would assume a university challenge watcher would type
@@charlieworsley6060
Hahr hahr, clever boy. Better now?
I feel perfectly comfortable with the fact that I got 3 questions right 😂
Well done, lads.
I would be so interested what all these guys are currently doing. They are so amazing!
We need more of these videos
Amazing
Absolutely i didn’t understand anything but I really enjoyed watching this
I was very concerned for Oxford in the starting,, but look it you beat the champion..
These guys are brilliant, how does a person even memorize these facts? From books, shows, or practice?
By not spending 10% of your life watching people chase a ball...
@@macharrington7733 bro be quiet football is not just chasing a ball, thats what your mom does
@@macharrington7733He visto 20 años de mi vida perseguir gente con la pelota y me gusta más eso que estudiar.
Aprender para mi es sencillo, me encanta y se bastante sobre casi todos los temas. La diferencia es que tome ese camino porque no pude ser futbolista.
P.D: Aunque creo que los nerds que jugamos fútbol no odiamos el fútbol por eso ( porque sabemos jugar) en cambio otros nerd odiaban el fútbol porque no sabían jugar.
@@macharrington7733I can tell your an obese fuck
Practice
34:01 the last decisive question was about economics and Oxford team had a economics student , he answered it correctly 🤔
Amazing performance by both teams 👏 Hats off
I don't even understand where the questions begins and ends
this inspired me to read more and expand my knowledge, thank you!!
Reminder to keep going
The opposite here. I should focus on useful knowledge
I don’t know about yall but I loved pausing it in the middle of questions and looking for things up so I could get it before they could
I’m proud to say I knew FOUR of these
You had to look at their faces during the first question🤣🤣
It's not the battle of school it is a battle of student even how hard you teach it depends on a students if they grow
You guys are amazing 🤩
Wow! These guys' memory is on a whole another level (seeing a thing, name once and can remember it forever) OR they are given a book or something to read from it before this competition!! How the hell I am supposed to remember Robert Kirkman was the director of walking dead?
Obsesionate con ello , que sea como el sexo y usa imágenes para recordarlo. Te apuesto que lo harás
@@thepatrusnostor5794have sex while studying?
incredible, how do they prepare for this??? genuinely very curious
They are already British enough to understand the accent in which the questions are being asked to them😂
30:35 James lost his cool for a second there, fingers quivering and all. Props to these lads though, brilliant performance.
Do you know his Instagram?
@@madamlemongrab1619 they are cambridge students, do you really think any of them would be using social media?
@@alnatsya probably not, since they all most likely have no socials whatsoever to begin with
@@alnatsya lmao they're still people
@@alnatsyaexactly
AS a Balinese & Hindu : im impressed with their Mahabarata knowledge !!
I'm from Bangladesh
This is a excellent competition between Oxford vs Cambridge 🥰
Richard freeland! That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time
Brilliant!
How do they get ready for the subjetc the judge ask? do they have a list of subjetcs that are going to be taken? or they only read a lot about the differents aspects of the world xd?
It's quizbowl so the distribution of questions is the same for each match - e.g. 4 history questions, 4 literature questions, 1 each on biology, chemistry and physics
nightmare blunt rotation
I got the Hannah Arendt one right I felt like Einstein bro
Lord Of The Flies and angular velocity, pretty straightforward. Both teams had very good players.
I got Wales for the poets RS and Dylan, I thought of 'The Fly' but couldn't remember 'The Lord of the Flies', I got John von Neumann, I was thinking of Judy Dench but didn't come out with her name, and I got Hegel. I feel humbled by these student's knowledge though! There is nothing better in life than to know things and be enthusiastic about such knowledge.
Leading known of competition.....grow and confident
Could any of this lot play away at stoke on a cold wet Wednesday?
THE FEELING WHEN U GET ONE BEFORE THEM IS AMAZING 😂😂😂
I knew the answer to one of the questions! Great succes!
I didn't enjoyed the questions but i enjoyed their efforts
When they asked the question about Mississippi I was thinking finally a question I know but no. Although for the question after it would’ve helped to know geography and geopolitical context, Tennessee borders Mississippi so when they said “well not Mississippi, Utah?” I knew it wasn’t going to be right.
Good to see the future of MI6 having a nice day out here.
It’s sometimes hard to hear the questions. I got the first one, though, because I used to hang out where Dylan Thomas drank himself to death.
damn that's a lot of square glasses
😂😂😂😂❤
The PhD in Algebra guy forgot to clap for the other team
I do Quizbowl in the US, and it’s nice to see how it’s different in the UK
“Thank you ladies and gentlemen, the quiz is now over, with our two contestants leading with equal score. Well done to both. Our third contestant seems to have an answer to his first question. Is that correct Ken?”
“Yes, Andy, that is correct. I believe I have the answer to your question: my username is Ken.”
“And a well done to you for that answer. As they say, better late than never. That’s it for now, we’ll see you next time.”
Six packs are overrated.. Man with spectacle and this kind of brain is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Esse é o tipo de amigos que eu gostaria de ter e andar com eles. Só gente boa, gente que pensa , estuda e muito, pesquisa etc
É só ir pra essa universidade que vc consegue

@@cristianoronaldocareca2796 Faz o L
queria muito entender tipo como esses caras aprenderam coisas tão aleatórias de uma maneira tão detalhada… é simplesmente incrível
ou será q antes das competições eles recebem algo como oq os alunos aq no br recebem p fazer uma prova (algo como guia doq estudar)
@@xeremn6388I think of course they get, how they should otherwise answer questions like this
Can they press the button at any point during a starter question? Or do they have to wait until he's done
What are the components of an Infinity Edge?
So happy to see chemistry here :)
Oh Wow that Mahabharata questions they were answering is really impressive ❤
Well, you can't be a competitive erudite person without knowing that kind of stuff.
i got 4 answers right and i was thinking that i know a-lot THANKS for opening my eyes, my ears, my mind and Special thanks for shutting my mouth
Here i'm supporting university of oxford students☺
I can’t even understand the question and what the answer even means
How do these guys prepare?
I think about the Big Bang Theory watching these guys...Terrific and Legend
Perfect combinated teams
The guys from University of Cambridge look like The Big Bang Theory cast :)
i only knew the mahabharat question haha.. nice work
Even I did not get the entire question, I still nod my head and think about my dinner.
What a comeback Oxford!
They all got the tism
