Americans are STUPID!

Havoc · #1 02-06-2007, 07:18 PM

Okay maybe not all, but certainly most of them. And it has just become FACTUAL! Oh happy day!

Disclaimer: If you are from America please do not watch as this may hurt your self esteem and make you ashamed to be American...

And remember people, this country has nukes...

P.S; Maybe this should have been in the stupid shit thread, but given that this might unleash a dozen page discussion I thought it be best to make a new thread. Humor me.

Cullen Heath · #2 02-06-2007, 07:22 PM

Yes, yes we are. And don't worry, most of us are already ashamed.
EDIT: FOURSIDES, UTAH! Are they serious?

Nemo · #3 02-06-2007, 07:27 PM

We take up two continents, so ha.

Infact, compare America to the Netherlands (Not saying we're going to cause a war with you, but just because you're from there, Havoc.)

Wow. Just wow.

Damn my comp..........can someone tell me what the vid is about besides Americans being stupid?

Was that meant sarcastic after seeing that clip? Because if not you just reinforced the topic at hand because the USA doesn't even take half a continent. In fact, Canada takes more space in that continent then you do...

America and The United States OF America are two different things...

Nemo · #7 02-06-2007, 07:40 PM

Yes, and the thing is on America, not the United States of America, just plain America.

If they meant the United States of America they should have gotten their facts straight.

On a semi-related note:
I love loopholes. Yay for loopholes and technicalities!

Havoc · #8 02-06-2007, 07:45 PM

Did you just avoid my post, Nemo?

Looks to me they just interviewed random people. Sure they might have put the funniest ones in the clip but still :P. We have stupid people here too but ask them where France is and they won't put a flag pin on ****ing Australia... Let alone a country that doesn't exist in the first place...

Nemo · #9 02-06-2007, 07:52 PM

I'm not saying they didn't interview random people, I'm saying they're miss-representing the whole of America. I mean, I bet they didn't even leave the same city. And I'm not saying it's hard to find a city filled with idiots in America that's filled with idiots, it's quite the opposite.

Bullet Magnet · #10 02-06-2007, 07:58 PM

It was all in the same city.

Havoc · #11 02-06-2007, 08:36 PM

Actually I think this was filmed in Texas... confirming a lot stereotypes for Texas. But I don't think you would get other results if you went to other cities actually

***Nate*** · #12 02-06-2007, 09:02 PM

Welcome to the wonderful world of EDITING! The Chaser boys are well known for cutting out the intelligent people to get to the dumbarses. That's why they're a comedy show.

But, that said, this probably is the best sketch they've ever done.

EDIT: Havoc, last I checked the White House was in Washington DC.

moxco · #13 02-06-2007, 11:24 PM

Thats funny, but iI think people are porposly acting like a moron. e.g.
Q. How many world wars has there been?
A. ummmmmm.....errr 3.

Havoc · #14 02-07-2007, 12:59 AM

Yea and that came from an old guy!

Yeah, next to the 'fact' that Nagasaki and Hirosima are known of sumo wrestling...

Another favourite of mine from the runner fellow in the cap "OK, I'm a little bit... mixed up with Palestinians and the Israelis. OK, which one is throwing the rocks?"

'How many kidneys does a person have?' "One." All this with the most serious face...

But I don't blame them. Every country has its people with these funny comments. But some of the stuff they said...

Look who is stupid now.

Also, Texas bashing is prohibited, unless you wanna get shot by redneck racist with a rusty shotgun.

Havoc · #17 02-07-2007, 05:39 AM

Well I did see some guys with cowboy hats and heard some guys with a Texan accent if I'm not mistaking, so maybe they did go to several cities. Forgot that the whitehouse was in the background a few times... :P

I thought they were known for being nuclear bombed.

...Indeed. I was just making a quote from the show, the old veteran-looking guy said this. So don't worry, I know the real deal.

moxco · #20 02-07-2007, 09:57 AM

Oh sory I thought you were saying it on your behalf.

dripik · #21 02-07-2007, 10:00 AM

No problem, I suspected as much.

Yeah boy. You'd better watch out, or I'll go round me up some of my schoolyard boys and we'll show you how we deal with you city slickers down here in the south.

In regards to the video, "misrepresentation" and "demagoguery" are some of the terms that would come to mind. Because compiling 9 minutes of interview clips is the best way to accurately represent a populous.

Cullen Heath · #23 02-07-2007, 02:14 PM

At least we are not a wasteful country. Cause, you know, if we were we would pretty much suck all around.

OANST · #24 02-07-2007, 02:15 PM

What Havok fails to realize is that the vast majority of the population of earth is stupid. Using a sketch show as an example of truth is just one of many indications that he is one of these people as well. I mean, Christ. He thinks that the nation that is responsible for a very large percentage of the world's technological advancements is made up almost entirely of imbeciles. That strikes me as stupid.

Arxryl · #25 02-07-2007, 02:30 PM

Holy cow... That's just sad. Well, this just proves my idea that there are dumber people out there than myself.

And I understand where you are coming from Havoc, about the "people with a Texas accent" thing. People here think that people in Britain all talk funny. No offence, it's just some people around here do.

But this still surprizes me how completely stupid some people are. But as OANST said, stupid people make up roughly 70% of the total population of Earth. (Not a proven fact...Yet...)

Patrick Vykkers · #26 02-07-2007, 06:49 PM

Well, it looks like other nations have a lot of idiots too; (http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?t=104093) (Not found by me)

EDIT: And for examples of Mohammedan stupidity; (http://www.memritv.org)

ziggy · #27 02-07-2007, 07:03 PM

I don't think we're stupid. There's got to be dumb people everywhere. I remember I saw some special on GSN showing british people giving the stupidest answers on game shows. I also think some people get nervous when randomly interviewed so will probably give a stupid answer. But the video is funny. Some of those questions are so obvious, though admittedly I don't know some of them.

So that's what I think. The video doesn't really prove any point, but seems mostly for comedic purposes.

arkaznor · #28 02-07-2007, 07:07 PM

Well, of course we're Stupid! You just found this out I little while a go. I mean the evidence that I'm, and my fellow Citizens of the United States (which aren't that united if you ask me) are stupid is overwhelming. I even had about 30 typos in this, and still probably have at least 5. (Though admittedly there are ALOT of stupid people in the world.)

Facsimile · #29 02-08-2007, 12:23 AM

That video was brilliant, how can anybody be that stupid?
No, I'm not saying all of America is, but those people certainly were. Particularly the placing of the pin in Australia, that topped it off.

And the video was about "Why people believe Americans are stupid" not "All Americans are stupid."

Spell my name right thank you very much...

Dude I realize perfectly fine stupid people are everywhere. It's just that the American one's keep popping up in the news.

And this wasn't meant as any prove or truth, what the hell are you on about. This was meant as a joke, don't tell me for one minute you thought I was being serious about this... you underestimate me.
