Are you smarter then a 5th grader?

[adam c]

Anyone else watch this?

How can these people be so stupid?!?!

[The Cosworth]

Its pretty funny

I didn't know the Columbus day question, or the REM question though.

But some of the others were pretty good.

Ill be watching that again

[adam c]

yea i didnt get the columbus one either but i could care less about american holidays

REM was easy.. just like how many sides does a trapezoid have.. etc.

[doublet]

Or the which country shares the largest boarder with the USA question.....

[adam c]

ah dur.. ah dur.. mexico?!

[mo_money2supe]

I wanted to watch this just to cheer up my day, but unfortunately, I had a midterm to write, which obviously did anything but cheer up my day.

I do find it funny, however, that producers are realizing that their country's citizens really aren't that intelligent and can make some money off their neighbours. Really shows how much believe Americans have about each other. :nut:

[Disoblige]

OMFG. I watched that show and I felt like I wanted to strangle the contestant. It makes me so angry.

[Gondi Stylez]

:confused: i have never heard of this show?! when does it come on?

[LuxCars]

what is the closest star to the earth?


"uh....is the sun a star?"

or even,

what do you get when you mix red and yellow?

"oooooo.......long long long pause......i wanna say orange"

man, sometimes i think its all an act and that the contestants are just actors. And if not, i am just full out embarrassed for anyone who claims to be American.

[beecue]

the first guy was acting ... it doesnt even look real

[slick2404]

hahaha golden show. its soooo stupid i love it

[ashee]

Is it an American show?

[zieg]

I saw it last night and today. Hilarious. I love how americans make fun of themselves and dont even realize it. I was expecting to see some hard questions like on what day of what month of what year was president x sworn in or something... :dunno:

[finboy]

haven't seen it but honestly, how much better do you think people would do on a canadian version? there are dumb people everywhere folks

umm yup

i do believe its by the same people as survivor

[Schwa]

I suppose a 5th grader would know the difference between a word comparing two things and a word describing the sequence of events.

[Disoblige]

I just watched it tonight and there was a black woman who had the question "How many decades are there in 2 millenias". 2000 years, 10 years per decade, so 200 right? She guesses 20, so it's wrong. Then later before the show ends, she's like "Oh, but I knew the answer! I was going to say 2000! Darn it!". Wtf lol. Today was the first time I saw the show but seeing from other examples in the thread, I can see there are way worse.

[sexualbanana]

It's one of those premises like, it's funny because you learned it like 20 years ago and in that time span you're bound to forget shit

[BoS_DC2]

If the stuff they're asking are actually from elementary school, I don't think I've learnt how many decades were in a millenium :( The show is bunk yO! This is probably the easiest game show alive if you just mooch off the kids answers..

[adam c]

these people are just playing retarded..

that sun question, i wanted to break my tv at how stupid the woman was

what the hell did she think the sun was? a planet? ffs

Great, so we can see 20 seasons of the same bullshit over and over and over and over and over.......Does anyone even watch survivor anymore? I think I watched it for the first season and realized how retarded it was.

[jsn]

yea i saw this show yesterday. They must find the dumbest people they can find and stick them on that show.

One womans question was "which country does USA share its longest border with?"
she answered mexico because she always hears about how imigrants cross the mexican border:rolleyes:

[Gondi Stylez]

nice! i saw the preview for it today at its on at 8pm on global! ill be infront of the boobtube for it!

Exactly, US has 10x the population it's just easier to find stupid people down there than it is here. It's all about the ratios

[urbannomad]

that show 1 vs 100 is the worst. :rofl:

some of it is straight logic. and somewhat highschool equivalent...they find the dumbest people!

:thumbsdow

[Kamen]

1vs100 and this show are retarded. Put any of us up there and if we don't walk away with $500,000 we fail life.

That first guy, UCLA grad, he didn't answer a single question he looked like he didn't even care. I call BS.

[Tik-Tok]

I saw 5th grade one tonight... I'm speechless. Where do they find these morons?

When asked what he'd do with $1mill, he says, "I'd take my wife on a shopping spree, pay for my daughters college, and buy a lamborghini, paint it camoflauge, and write Grad '94 on it" :banghead:

The entire time he was on the show, he just kept talking about the lambo... christ people are dumb, he'd be broke within 6 months.

[szw]

this show is rigged

[Mixalot27]

They need to have a special celebrity edition with George W on it, now that would be entertaining.

[magicmario]

I hate Jeff Foxworthy as the host
He pisses me off :banghead:

[mo_money2supe]

As stupid and dumb as I think this show is, at least there's some skill that's involved. Better than randomly picking a suitcase with a random number behind it, then cheering like you've got the skills to take on the world afterwards... :rolleyes:

I can't stand any of these new game shows anymore. After Who Wants to Be a Millionaire changed hosts, I stopped caring about any of these marketing-for-ratings shows.
