Don't Know English? Sucks For You.

Why can't people speak correctly anymore? I could probably ask 100 people on the street (kids and adults) to pronounce faberge and you could count the correct replies on one hand...sad. Even if your thinking, "what the hell IS faberge, how about something easier?" Ok then, I give up. Here, maybe you should find out for yourself how stupid some Americans REALLY are:

Actually...this topic isn't so much about bad English, but about how stupid the U.S. is...sorry if that was misleading.

america is getting dumber and dumber every day man..... mispronunciations... the whole nine yards!!!

[The-Donkey]

People say Americans are stupid, because they don't show the clips that people get right. I really wish people oculd relise Americans aren't all that dumb, but random people can be.

Well, at least they took US. The smarter of the American teritorys. (sadly)

That video is very old. And I'm sure they didn't just find the stupidest response they could and only show those, and I'm sure if a bunch of people on the streets can't answer certain questions that reflects my intelligence because I live in the same country.

The "name a country that starts with U" question is silly anyway, most people refer to the USA as "America". That's like asking for a country that starts with a T ("The United States of America")

And yeah, "faberge" is a word I totally use in everyday conversation.

god damn I would have looked like a genius there.

You right, because Fabergé is NOT ENGLISH.

Even if your thinking,

*you're, not your

I also agree with you that SOME Americans can be morons. Unfortunately as much as I would like to lump an entire country into one big moron melting pot, it just isn't true.

well... i wasted my time here

Techonacally the US isn't America, Just a part.

You know. Like England and the UK.

First of all Fab ra Jay Egg. Second, I'm getting fucking tired of this "America is stupid crap". Interview enuff god damn people and you'll get a few who don't know what you're fucking about.

Its time to use your god damn brain dip shit, how many people do you think they interview? If they showed EVERYONE they interviewed, there would be a hell of a lot more people who don't seem retarded. This is supposed to be in all good fun, not "Laugh at the stupid Americans" For misinterpreting what was supposed to be a good laugh as a viable way to poke fun at our misuse of the language, you fucking fail at life. You're an inspiration for birth control.

EX you say?!? Penn and Teller asked a shit load of people if we should ban water, using an odd scientific name (something monoxide) Lots of people were like "FUCK YEAH, ban that shit", not knowing it was just water. What's the catch? Afterwards they showed a lot of people who DIDN'T fall for it, funny how that wouldn't make the cut on a show like that.

Besides, if someone didn't know about some fucking jeweled egg, it doesn't that make them stupid. I couldn't locate half the states on our map, that doesn't make me stupid. It makes me knowledgeably ignorant. Intelligence doesn't equal fact knowing, other wise everyone who wins at Jeapordy would be some kind of noble prize winner.

Fucking end rant I'm watching South Park >:(

You right, because Fabergé is NOT ENGLISH.

You're right**

and if it is not English... then why do we need to know how to spell it?

[Spectacle]

I wonder how many hours they spent finding these people. I bet 90% of the people they asked got it right and they just cut that out.

[Revanz]

I see this on American shows all the time (Usually on the Late night shows), the only diffrence is. We don't fly halfway across the world to Europe, interview 400 people, edit out all the right answers, fly back to America and then put it online allowing a bunch of assholes to run to youtube and post it up and then start complaining and/or laughing at how stupid Europe is.

lol how many sides on a triangle? umm 4, oh and they thought that guy was john howard when he looks nothing like john howard
