You'd be very surprised how many foreigners would know the answers to all of these questions. It's not them under the microscope. These questions like 'how many states' and 'what is the US capital' etc. should be common knowledge to anyone who has left school. I'm a foreigner and I knew all the answers. There is no excuse for not getting the 'dozen' and '3x3x3' questions.

If he did ask some 'foreign' people (not educated in the US) they'd be more likely to know the answers! He could have pushed it further and asked what a baker's dozen is. 😀

I love Ethan earnestly answering "10 years" to the decade question. We know you know 😂

If you asked half of them who were interviewed to spell their name some of them would struggle 😂😅

Happy New to you both and your family.🎉 I'm from Wales and i knew most of the american history questions, in the uk we are taught world history aswell as our own.

Honestly, with the exception of the VP question, I think most 16 year old British kids would get all of these.

It's not surprising they don't remember Kamala. They don't hear enough about her. No scandals or anything! 🙂

Even I know the US flag is hugely symbolic. 50 stars represent the states and 13 stripes representing the first 13. I sometimes wonder if American history is taught everywhere apart from America. Really concerning, but gives everywhere else hope!

I'm British and I knew quite a lot of them answers 😂 I didn't know the Vice President one but knew more than the actual American people 😂😂

I'm sure you could spend a couple of hours in a UK street asking similar questions and come across a few people that could be edited into a video showing a similar level of misunderstanding. This isn't just a USA thing.

To be fair, most of the people who know the answers to these questions would be busy at work or in school. But yeah, this was such a facepalm moment that I had to use both hands. I'm not even American and I knew all the answers to them, including the Mt. Rushmore one (and yes, it's in SD).

Trust me, there are plenty of Europeans that way also.

My favourity and funniest Videos like this is, 'What's the dumbest thing an American has ever said to you - Part 1'. There are many Parts.

TBH, if you asked most younger people similar questions about their own country, they wouldn't know. Education, especially history, has declined in Western countries. I'm English with no interest in politics, I couldn't name anyone in the government - other than the PM!

That graduated guy blows my mind 🤯🤯 he couldn't answer all simple questions

Angela is one smart cookie,! Incidentally, who did that portrait of her on your wall? If that was you Joel, you're a talented artist.

6:20 that's a contentious question. I imagine you'd like to say 1776, but 1783 is when the Treaty of Paris was signed.

I really enjoyed your video and comments plus learning more about the world around me.

The butt end of Mt. Rushmore faces Canada LOL!!!!!!

Happy New Year to you and the family. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. A vlog around KC would be interesting. Ask some UK questions. Wonder if the UK know more about the US or the US public know more about the UK.....if that makes sense😂.

happy new year to you both

Hiya Ethan and Angela, I was watching family feud the question was "name a wife of Henry V111", this feller buzzed in and said "Queen Victoria" when proved wrong all the audience were saying "oh that's so unfortunate" Henry 8th was born in 1491,Queen Victoria was born in 1819,can you believe it, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

Happy New Year ❤

.... and be honest !!! as a German i can answer nearly ALL of your Questions !! .... because our Education-System is great and introduce so many parts americans had never hear about !! Greetings from Germany

Happy New Year from UK.. and yes I got most of those right no hang on all of those right. The Graduate, well he should have aced all of those too. If he was in fact a foreign student surely he would need to know something about where he is being educated and 3x3x3 well that is a basic math question asked of 10 year olds. ugh ... Love the channel and your taking part is fun to watch

As a note, Kamala Harris never claimed to be "Native American." Her mother is from India, so she is Tamil Indian. Her father is from Jamaica and is part African and part Irish.

Me over here as a South African that we don't even get any of this taught to us in school could answer all these questions about the US just from watching American TV and Movies and somewhat of the news...... I would bet that in any other country this would all be considered general knowledge questions.

Fleccas Talks is the channel, the interviewer is called Justin. He has some street interviews of his own and they just asked him to film some similar content for them.

Yes you should expect us foreigners to know nothing! 😮All the best from Scotland. Rab

Hi Angela & Ethan, I don`t know if you have come across them, but the first time I saw something like this, Jay Leno was doing them as part of his show. Which I believe he left over 8 yrs ago. I think it was mainly Geography questions then.

Q. E. D. Mount Rushmore 🚨Washington? 🚨 Even I know it's Sth Dakota, and was born in the UK 😮

Wikipedia. Kamala Devi Harris was born in Oakland, California,[9] on October 20, 1964.[10] Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a Tamil Indian biologist, whose work on the progesterone receptor gene stimulated advances in breast cancer research.[11] She came to the United States from India in 1958, as a 19-year-old graduate student in nutrition and endocrinology at the University of California, Berkeley,[12][13] and received her PhD in 1964.[14] Kamala Harris's Jamaican American father, Donald J. Harris, is of African and Irish ancestry.[15] He is a Stanford University professor of economics (emeritus) who arrived in the United States from British Jamaica in 1961, for graduate study at UC Berkeley, receiving a PhD in economics in 1966.

As a Brit I knew all the questions apart from the Vice President. But then again I had a British education.

In France it is impossible to see this... in general we know the history of our country. it is also necessary to obtain your diploma to enter university. The history of other major countries, capitals, regions and presidents for some too. It is still sad not to know his country.

And this is the future of America God help you

What I learned about Americans: doesn´t matter what school they went through, they know their 50 States with the capitals included and they know the Presidents´ names and numbers. That probably doesn´t fit anymore, sadly 😎

Colored tempered glass for the splash back. I’ve had tiles, stainless steel, high gloss paint. But glass is def the best

Omg,unbelievable!

black guy at the end is a real person , that's the sort of people who are good for humanity. 🕊🕊✌✌

The answer to the question "who won the civil war?" should be "which civil war" as there have been hundreds of them.

Is it sad that as a Brit with only the one exception(the VP question) I knew all of these? 🤔

Greetings from Finland!

All nations (UK included) have their fair share of (I'll settle for) "not so well educated half-wits" (but when it comes to history or geography I'm really not a genius) 🤣

I am Dutch, Now I understand way a lot of Americans like Trump hi is the super Dombo

I totally agree with him not pushing the correct answers, it really isn't worth the trouble.

The best was the guy in the graduation robe who didn't know how many continents there were.

Who fought in the civil war? Cavaliers and Roundheads.

One thing to note is that I think he doesn't show many of those who can answer the questions.

It's not just Americans, there's plenty in the UK that are just as thick.

"Who fought in the Civil War?" First, you need to ask which Civil War are you asking about before the question can be answered.

I think if you asked about the civil war in England you'd end up with someone saying Roundheads and Cavaliers

I’m from the UK and knew all these, including that Mt Rushmore is in South Dakota……. Not difficult…….

It's the guy in the graduation outfit who should be most ashamed, he appears to have no knowledge at all despite going to university.

It is a little hardcore on young people. Aged 15/16 in my life in UK, I couldn't give a toss who the Prime Minister was, I had bigger priorities! The guy in 'cap & gown' was obviously not an American thus easy 'pickings'. Wonder how many clips he took to achieve this effect? Love to see you guys back.

The sad thing is, that I know the answers. And I'm not an american. Btw the vice presidents name is Kamela Harris.

See if there are any vloggers asking random UK people questions about the UK (and also the US).

Not 1 mobile phone in sight , if you tried to ask people of that age any questions all you would get ignored as they would have there mobile phone glued to the end of there nose

I get fed up of explaining their own constitution to Americans their own constitution on KZfaq. The British are little better, but unlike the USA the British Constitution is unwritten and that can be understandable!

Great to see 'Y Ddraig Goch' flag behind you. The flag of Cymru/Wales. Just in case anyone asks we have two languages Cymraeg/Welsh and Saesneg/English. BTW I knew all the answers, and I live in Cymru and my 2nd language is English. Wow, this can not be real, Americans can not be this ignorant of their own country or even know 3x3x3=27. Astonishing.

01:30 As a Brit I wish he had asked me that question about "The Civil War". There have been hundreds of them! We had one 900 years ago (The Anarchy), 550 years ago (The Wars of The Roses) and nearly 400 years ago (The English Civil War aka The British Wars aka The Wars of The Nations).🤣

im swedish and i litterally knew the answer on 95% of these questions xD

Even as a brit i knew who you’re vice president is. Geez

We have a guy up here in Canada, Rick Mercer who does the same thing! He asks really dumb stuff to you guy's LOL Check him out, really funny!

I know who the vice president is and i am from Sweden! Allthough when they where first added i thought it was Kamilla Harris, until i saw on the news that it is Kamala Harris. I guess i have to carry that shame =D

Funny but scary. I'm from the UK and to be honest I think you'd get a similar result if you asked questions about the UK. F### knows what they learn at school nowadays.

Mt Rushmore... South Dakota

As a European, it is kind of hard to grasp why Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia aren't considered states. So there was a time when I would have been tempted to say 52. I'm pretty sure you would get more than 16 states going west from Boston in a straight line.

OMG Guys!!!! I know more about YOUR country than those Americans do!

Wow am from Ireland and I know all the answers about the states 😂😂😂😂. What schooling have yous 😂😂😂😂.

To be fair they are being put on the spot under a camera, I don't know how I would react in a situation like that, possible my mind would go blank! just something to keep in mind!

I honestly feel like basic Geography education would be a benefit in the US. I'm from Northern Ireland and knew all of those lol. Not knowing how many states there are in your own country is ridiculous. Jaysus wept!

I wonder did they edit out the people who got most/all right & left in only the numpties? If you did a similar exercise in (say) London, with a similar demographic & basic British questions I suspect you may get similar result. I reckon the original clip is pure clickbait. Also Ethan how about an update on your educational plans? Btw Happy New Year to you both.

But I’m British and remember every USA President and Vice President down to Reagan/Bush something is terribly wrong in America with the Education system oh and you declared independence and last battles fought by 1776 but the treaty wasn’t signed till 1778

I wonder how many Americans would pass the Citizenship Exam (including government members!)?

Once upon a time there were two brothers. One went to sea. The other became vice president of the US. No one has heard of either of them ever since.

There are 7 year olds in Britain and Ireland that could answer some of these questions

I'd love to know how many people he needs to interview before he finds these people.

I knew the vice president and all the other questions

A sorry indictment of the American education system

I don't know if this is true, I want to believe it's not true! But I read on a channel that an American in Europe was having dinner and went to the roof of the building to see the fireworks because it was the 4th of July!

Thats what happens when you pay teachers peanuts and disregard what they do as a job.

Rule of Dumb since 1965

I don’t know who is your Vice President but for the other questions i can only thanks to my Slovenian education

The fact my 10 year old cousin knows these is sad😅

There has to be more intelligent Americans around than we saw here. The people questioned , seemed like Deer caught in headlights, they seemed to freeze mentally. I'm trying to be kind.👋

You could make a video like this evrywhere in the world. Just interview enough and edit out all the correct answers and keep the idiots.

As you are USA-ian's you probably don't know that dumb means unable or unwilling to speak, people would say that people who are unable to speak must be stupid, and some erroneously now think that dumb means stupid and use it as a pejorative.

How many people did he ask who gave the right answers

I'm not sure how you can go through the education system in the most powerful country in the world and not know the answer to these questions, you must be taught these things, practically every child in Western civilization would be able to answer most of what was asked in this clip .

I like your sense of Geography means that you think New York is "close" to DC.. (230 miles) Manchester to Glasgow is almost 220 and we'd consider that to be a distance :-)

How can any sentient being…

Are you guys Americans and you don’t know your own vice president? I am Icelandic and live in Denmark but even I know that your vice president is Kamala Harris and no, she is not part native American her parents are black and Indian respectively and Indian as in from India, not Chippewa or Apache.

Im british and its shocking how much i know about usa when their own people dont. Maybe if they stopped making kids stand and pledge to a flag and actually teach them about the usa, it would be more valuable

God help America

How many states did America have when it was first founded? Can you name them? (Answer is in the replies) 🤔

I wouldn't feel to bad about your youth, ours in Britain ain't that bright as well. God help our futures 😮

This is endemic of the self obsessed social media phone zombie generation, not a clue.

The first question is a bad question, what do you mean by founded? The US declared independence in 1776, but we did not GAIN independence until we won the war with the Treaty of Paris in 1783. But, the answer COULD be that we were founded with our first founding constitution which was the Articles of confederation in 1781 or it could be when we wrote the US Constitution 1787, when it was ratified by the 3/4 of the states which was 1788 or when the first government under the US Constitution was formed in 1789. The Founders are usually considered the revolutionaries and the Framers would be the Constitutionalists. So the answer SHOULD be 1783, but most of these type of videos give the WRONG answer of 1776 as the CORRECT answer, even though it is not. What do you mean this video is made in NYC? There is a garbage can behind the people in the video which says razzle dazzle chicago

To get British citizenship you have to take a test on British history and conventions. Obviously in the States it is not so.

Did he respond, 'yes' when the guy said 3×3×3=9? It's 27.
