A person in my history class thought Hitler's first name was Hitler. She figured Adolf was like his military title.
Wanna hear the kicker? When I asked her what Hitler's second name was, she replied with,..Yep, Hitler. So to her, his full name was Hitler Hitler, with the rank of Adolf.

Nope, he's from Britain. One of these assholes who'll stab you by looking in their directionLockeDown said:
Not even that, there are kids that could list off the campaigns of U.S. Presidents in the the correct order at age five. That is just sad that people are too illiterate to figure out who leads their country. But wait, at least the know what the name of the clown that is the mascot for a major fast food chain. Very disappointing...Furburt said:
I am disgusted and appalled by the fact that most people don't know who Jim Henson was.
I mean, he was only the second-greatest comedian of the twentieth century.

The worst thing I can think of was in GCSE History, two weeks before the exam someone seriously asked who won the Second World War.
Needless to say, there was a stunned silence. I don't think it would've been that bad but we'd just spend the last two months on the topic...

Nice one.Resistance205 said:
Disagree with that they were bigger than Jesus. Don't deny that they were truly famous.
The same. Although it's nearly impossible to happen in my country, people must know who our dear presiden is... She's the worst thing my Nation's goverment came across with.Furburt said:
Lizzie Borden took an axeParadoxBG said:Lizzie Borden, the famous axe-murderer. I lived right down the street from her old house when I was in High School, adn when I mentioned this to someone online, they were like, 'who?'
Now I thought the Borden murders were nationally famous, possibly internationally. And since when I said 'mentioned' above I meant 'was bragging about', this kind of rubbed me the wrong way.
(Cue people telling me they have no idea who Lizzie Borden is. Go figure.)
and gave her father fourty whacks
when she saw what she had done
she gave her mother
fourty-one
That's very condescending and frankly quite rude to expect people to know things and dismiss them when they don't. So maybe they're not the biggest music fan out there, why the fuck would you hold it against them?LordChhaya said:
It's also pretty ignorant to assume that everyone has the exact same cultural upbringing as you. We live in a diverse world here, there are people who don't give a shit about the Beatles, people who haven't heard of them and people from a different culture who's emphasis wasn't necessarily the fucking Beatles. Why the fuck would you judge someone so negatively based on something as trivial as a fucking music band?
Now it can be surprising, funny, or unusual that someone doesn't know a certain fact but that's not any sort of basis for judging a person.
Congratulations for transcending the OP's level of pretentiousness by not only making assumptions about people but about a whole fucking country.Mr.Tea said:
First of all, it's a COMEDIAN doing it for very light-hearted reasons and I'm sure everyone can find it funny (especially those answered) however, you bridge the gap between funny and asshole by deducing french people are retarded.
Second, to make it funny, they only ever broadcast the people who fucked up and never show just how many people actually got it right.
Third, even if you're a fucking genius you may fall for one of these school-grade tricks:
Orthographe is not only a fucking hard word to write but spelling things out lout is MUCH harder. (Go on, try it in your head). So apparently people who can't spell a fairly complicated word are retarded.
Who discovered the Jacque-Cartier bridge? Is phrased in a tricky way that makes it seem like the answer is "Jacque-Cartier" and anyone can blurt this out without thinking first.
Fuck the triangle question, it could easily be rigged through context.
The benedict question is just confusing and I'd like to see the show myself to really understand. (True was the correct answer, right? if so then are you sure the comedian phrased the followup question in exactly that way? I doubt it)
And here's a fun fact: The sun DOES rotate around the earth..... FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SOMEONE WHO LIVES SOMEWHERE ON THE PLANET EARTH. Most people in real life aren't thinking through science, they are thinking through common sense. Also, WORDING STILL FUCKING MATTERS; saying
"Does the sun rotate around the earth or does the earth rotate around the sun?"
is different from "True or False: the sun rotates around the earth"
The fucking hilarious part of shows like this, is that everyone says to themselves "well, I, certainly wouldn't fall for that" when in fact, it's perfectly possible.
Wow, I would never expect kids to know who Ronald McDonald is (A stand-out character who's presence is EXTREMELY broad due to successful advertising) and not know who the president is (A random guy in a suit who makes speeches, who isn't shown in saturday morning cartoons and not someone especially present in a kid's daily life). Put things in perspective, will ya? I dare you to name me one kid who's interest in politics surpasses his/her interest in yummy food.sunset_savage1393 said:
I don't care most of the time, it makes me seem smarter (I was the only person who knew who Robert E. Lee was (I'm British, so don't get THAT suprised noone else knew), and proceded to talk about him and Stonewall Jackson with my American-born English teacher
But in a fun quiz once, someone said "who's Nelson?"
I very nearly slaughtered the fool
