The BBC Pointless answer from a former A-Level Geography student that killed a friendship.
The face says it all
is it me or does her friend look annoyed to be next to her right from the start? I think she knew what was coming
abcd Yes, I think so. The friend is rolling her eyes from 11 seconds in, before the question is even answered.
Helen Trope I thought it was rolling at first, but now it looks like she's just looking up. It doesn't seem like she's forcing her eyes to keep looking up.
You're not allowed to confer in the first round, so no teamwork.
GoldXrose. No discussion between team members is allowed at this stage of the game. It's only allowed from when there are just two teams left.
GoldXrose wo wo didn't you hear her right she said A level geo what are they teaching kids these dayz ffs
Me: "Is she going to name a city instead of a country, or is she going to name a country that does not end with two consonants?"
Her: "Paris"
Me: "Oh"
She went next level stupid
Why not a bit of both?
There's that Western A-Grade Geography [and English] in full swing. Paris is a country that ends in two consonants.
Terrible Tanner Paris is a city not a country and it ends in one consonant.
*NO* you uneducated straight white male, Paris is a COUNTRY that ends in two consonants.
Maybe Paris identifies itself as a country; did that ever cross your privileged white mind?
Paris is my country
Alexander Corke England is my city
My name is Alexander Cooke.....we're essentially name buddies meeting on a RUclips video of Pointless!
country sam country
I is my consonant
I IS A VOWEL
Only if she realised England is her city she would've got that correct
I think they would not allow England. United Kingdom is what they'd class England as.
They only count sovereign states (which England is not)
@@gunamerstravels it was sarcasm
@@baders087 very clever sarcasm aka sarcasm gone too far
@@haiwatigere6202 I know 😂 just waiting for someone to say “England isn’t a city you dumbass”
Can't help but wonder what grade she got for her Geography A-Level...
I know what you mean, I find it hard to believe that there are people out there that don't know everything or are unable to perform at 100% at all times. lol etc.
"Hell is other people" as Pope John Paul II once said.
She probably most likely failed
To be fair, geography A Level is mainly about rocks and volcanoes
I thought she was going to say something insulting about her friend, I was disappointed.
Lewis Hampson I think her not having an answer was insulting to her friend, maybe she's from a country that ends with two consonants or her ethnic background is
Friend: Don't say Paris, don't say Paris, don't say Paris...
Sarah: ...Paris?
Friend: GODAMMIT, SARAH!
Of course, as a student of history she would not be exposed to the names of countries such as Ireland, Poland or Egypt.
ANY country ending in "land"..?
Chris Bruno New Zealand?
John Kyon Yes John, clever boy.
Chris Bruno Bangladesh, Denmark, Italy. It's quite tough.
Paris
whats wrong with italy it ends in 2 consonants .
why does her friend look annoyed even before she gave an answer lol
'friend' that isn't a friend lmao she's looking at her like she's the most annoying person in the world, rolls her eyes when he asks her interests, I'd suspect the girl talking is doing 90% of the effort in that friendship
Sarah, get me a big mac and a large fries please, will you?
Selinor578 she'd probably mess that order up lol
Haha ...
"We're looking for any of the 50 most popular fast food items sold in the UK since 1900"
"Hamburglar toy?"
She looked pissed with her from the start lol
So I get a C in Geography, resulting in me unable to take it for A-level ...and yet this girl thinks Paris is a country and..... whatever, England.
Aw, Xander was so kind to her, even though she was being completely thick!
There are two things a lot of commenters have problems understanding:
1. England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Greenland are not UN sovereign nations in their own right so are not valid answers to this question.
2. The letter Y is classified as a consonant regardless of whether it is being used as a vowel or a consonant, so Germany, Italy and Hungary are perfectly valid answers.
Poor girl who was stuck with that student. She just looked devastated
does she actually know what a consonant is?
Interesting that none of the comments I've read under this video give any allowance for the almost certainty that she was extremely nervous and gave an answer that she almost certainly wouldn't have were she not actually on television. She's not the first person to freeze in front of a camera but apparently none of the commenters are aware that that can happen, or they just like feeling superior, with a dash of anti-student confirmation bias thrown in.
@Jon Young, I'm not sure that have fully comprehended the concept of not thinking straight. I don't know what did or did not go through her mind but I think that it's probably safe to say that she basically panicked. People do illogical things when they panic. What you're suggesting would have required a logical train of thought that she may just not have been capable of at the time, even though she could have been perfectly capable of doing and more besides before and after. I think that anyone who genuinely thinks that her answer was the result of lack of intelligence rather than nerves from the occasion is probably the one more lacking in intelligence.
Are you her Dad by any chance?
I've been to a Pointless taping before, they get all the time in the world to give an answer, they can just edit it down on TV, contestants can ask questions regarding criteria for answers and other such things, it's actually really laid back other than the jackpot round which is 60 seconds. She shouldn't have been pressured or short on time.
wunnell Nah, it just proves that any clown can get into university.
BS
I said Swaziland straight away...She will never live Paris down😅😅
That would be wrong now as its changed its name to Eswatini haha
Soloman Islands even better
"I'll give you a clue.. You live there.."
Great father Ted reference!
London...?
England wouldn't of counted so you would of looked like a complete fool if you gave that as your answer.
If you mean England, you'd have got the same result. It's not a sovereign state with membership in the UN.
You can see from the start her mate, next to her, doesn't want to be there.
No one didnt point out the fact that she's a History student.
No need to ... that much was obvious.
Someone from the UK couldn't come up with "Scotland" or "Ireland"...
Well, those would be bad answers as well because you wanna name a country that only a few named. So England, Scotland or Ireland are probably too obvious.
England and Scotland would not count - they are part of the United Kingdom. Ireland would count but it's not (well, other than Northern Ireland) part of the United Kingdom.
England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales are still separate countries, they're just all the countries that make up the United Kingdom.
They're not sovereign states though- Osman always asks for sovereign states.
Tim Smith word.
This answer is so bad that I reckon she had a wager with her studenty friends that she would come up with the most ridiculous answer in television game show history.
She obviously isn't stupid but when you're on TV being interviewed, it can be nerve racking
A level geography ... gives you Paris as a country ... god help us
That “A” level in Geography is going to prove useful.
A level Geography what did you get a U?
She lumped it in the " too hard basket" 😂didn't even try to think of any!
the moment when she didn't realise that even Paris doesn't end in two consonants
You know, I don't think they were that friendly to start with.
She did a Geography A Level, and thinks Paris is a country? She thinks 'i' is a consonant? AARRRGHHHHH!!
There's loads, like any countries that end in "land"
Greenland doesn't count, know why ?
Greenland isn't a country. It's a territory of Denmark. Denmark counts, though.
The statement is still correct
And Poundland, and Disneyland and NeverNeverland and The Land of Make Believe (where Bucks Fizz come from). There are literally millions.
Because Greenland isn't a country Bob. Back to school for you lad
You could probably name any country that names with "land"...
Though for a pointless answer I'd say Ivory Coast?
Soloman Islands would of been pointless
It's one of those 1st podium answers. The episode was repeated a few days ago and I immediately thought Egypt. Of course all the -land answers were OK, but the pointless answers were the Islands I think, like Marshall Islands. Anyway she was not the only wrong answer as someone else said Lapland.
She looks like she's going to cry at the end.
I know from experience that going to University does not mean you're smart, and this right here just adds to the evidence.
You're absolutely right! I study Law and some of my fellow students are really really stupid.
That's always shocked me a bit, tbh. Law is supposed to be one of the most intellectual subjects, yet recently I met some idiot Law graduate who struggled with basic primary school geography xD
And getting something wrong doesn't necessarily make someone stupid.
well she didn't study "places with specific alphabetical quirks under high pressure situations" did she
lool the host was trying to hold his laughter in.
As someone who came out of a quiz show with negative points … may I recommend taking all the drugs to time it with the recording! General knowledge does nothing for your stage fright. State of mind is everything!
No wonder she's studying history
“Bad luck Sarah” of course it is
Matt Damon!?! Where’s my baseball!?!
Germany
Hungary
Luxembourg
Iceland
Ireland
Finland
Greenland
Ivory Coast
*says Paris*
slateflash Switzerland
Ends in two consonants... Germany.. Hungary..
slateflash Marshall Islands and Solomon Islands were the only ones I could think of xD
ThelolipopCreeper you've just repeated the first 2 the guy listed...
Craig V My point was that the questiob asked for a country that ended in two consonants and he said germany and hungary... You don't see what I'm getting at, do you?
Boy. If you ever forget there are heartless, moronic people in the world just read a list like this on RUclips. Not everyone of course. The sad fact is they don't know who they are.
i want to know what happened to their friendship after this
She did A level geography????
Not only did she say a city not a country but also a city that doesn't even end in two consonants
Her friend is like "This bitch really just said that on TV"
I’m not sure what’s worse, Paris not being a country, or the fact it doesn’t end in two consonants
Never mind it not being a county, it doesn’t even end in two constants
I can't fucking bare it anymore
I can't fucking bear it when people use the word 'bare' instead of 'bear' anymore.
Bob Uppendown
You must LOVE correcting people's spelling and grammarz
Your use of capitals in the word love is incorrect, and there is no such word as grammarz.
If you were to "bare" it, you might be arrested.
Did she not even know what a consonant is? She needs to watch countdown haha
I'd hardly say it was 'bad luck' to be at university but still not know the difference between a vowel and a consonant.
"I did geography A level" .... "Paris?" WoW
Well, I'd be embarrassed to be her friend, too...
i watched this as it happened, it was even funnier when you dont know what was coming
My girl was done with her before she said that dumb ass answer😂 that was just the final straw hahaha
She done geography a-levels but thought paris was a country
You see, she was going to say England but she was swifty reminded in her mind by Nick Crompton that England is indeed a city and not a country
She actually looks like she is simple.
A uni student studying history? Ouch……
Good to know that her Geography A Level was useful...
I wonder if they know that, depending on its context 'y' can be a vowel or consonant. That must have some effects on answers that end in 'y' at least.
She did Geography A Level and thinks Paris is a country? 😮
Jesus, this is almost as bad as the woman who said an ice cream truck deflected Darren Bent's shot into the Liverpool net...
what an idiot I am! for some reason I took the question to mean the same 2 consonants lol
I don't even know what is a consonant...
At least you can spell it.
Thanks that means a lot!
You're a consonant.
I don't think that they even began as friends but boy... was that dumb
POINTLESS them two being friends hahahaha
What about Italy lmao
Her nerves could have gotten the better of her
I think she got confused and thought it was continents.. don't think she knew the meaning of consonants
As well as not having 2 consonants at the end. Paris isn't a country or a continent either.
Helen Trope well clearly we've concluded the girl isn't bright lol
every country that ends in land
I LAUGHED SO FUCKING HARD AT THIS WHEN I SAW IT ON TV
She could have said England hahaha
In Pointless, when they talk about countries, they only count sovereign states, so England would have been wrong.
I think she got kicked out of her geography classes
I think she got kicked out of her Geography _and_ English classes
Wrong on two counts. She’s at university? God help this country.
Switzerland.
it just shows you why the UK is heading for economic melt down we will have to recruit people from abroad for almost everything job and industry soon, with the standard of education and knowledge so called 'University undergrads' have, it's shocking. how did she get into York Uni?
England, Germany, Scotland, Ireland, Thailand, The Netherlands...
England, Scotland, wrong answers
i will give you a clue... u live there 😂😂😂
>Geography A LEVEL
>Answers PARIS
omg this was on the other day. that look! are these 2 ladies still friends???
He asked for a country... 😭😩
She's from the UK, she could've at least said England, Scotland and Ireland.
Those are not countries
Probably thought England was her city which is why that wasn't her answer
That would of been a wrong answer
I have that dress the shady girl is wearing
Don't worry, a history degree doesn't involve countries much
rkent06 she said she did a level geography as well in free time
It's all very well and good saying 'she was under the pressure of cameras, a studio audience and millions of viewers watching'.
But Paris isn't a country. It isn't rocket science. It is one of the most ridiculous answers to give ever.
that's what happens when you're nervous
Poor kid.
So many possible answers..... And then Paris! Lol
does geography a level
Denmark and iceland, wow that was sooo hard
I fucking love this, still amazing
Literally and contry with land in it
Pretty sure that’s Marcus from About a Boy.
I mean its incorrect on both levels.....have to admit it took me about a minute as i was going through individual countries in my head and all of them had a vowel in the last 2 letters. Then changed strategy and thought of loads...eg countries that end in land or in sh like bangladesh, Denmark etc they kept coming to me after the initial mental block
Bless her. Clearly had a brain fart moment. I don't think I'm stupid and my first thought was Eritrea, before realising a consonant is not a vowel. Lol.
She makes it seem like Geography A level is nothing.
Did she lie about attaining a geography A level ? and to do a degree in history you would have to be able to differentiate cities from countries. Add to this, she reckons the letter 'i' is a consonant ?!!
Seems that a whole new sub level of crass stupidity gains you entry into University
