Q: How many sides does a triangle have?
A: damn, four.

Wow that really is special...

*Hmmn I've seen thsi a bunch of times but I only just noticed that when they are putting the pins in australia calling it Iran that it is actually marked Iran. It's still dumb not knowing that it is Australia but it's a little underhanded...

"Who do you think should be the next country to invade?"

"Russia, China...Indonesia, Brazil....Canada"

WTF? Canada?? I mean, I can understand going after China, but Canada?

Too late, we've gone metric.
You couldn't invade a metric country, none of your equipment would work.

What i find even funnier is all the American's who have taken it too seriously on YouTube and posting all this crap that just backs up the video.

Dissing on Americans has been the flavor of the week for a while now, especially on message boards. It comes with the territory though.

I don't think Americans are dumb but I do think a larger proportion of them are willfully ignorant of the world outside their nations borders than in most other developed countries. The guys in these videos that know nothing about the outside world probably aren't stupid so much as they are lazy and arrogant (we're number one so why bother to care about anyone else type of thing). Not that we don't have more than out fair share of people like that over here as well, we call them chavs, I point and laugh at them as well.

Countries aren't stupid, people are. We all have three groups--dumb, average, and smart. Unfortunately our dumb group is growing at a faster rate then the other two. Take out certain groups/sectors/demographics and things balance out quite a bit better. An example for you Brits, I'm sure the UK's average IQ goes up quite a bit if you exclude Chavs.

No they're stupid. They have a sense of arrogance born of ignorance, but they are flat out stupid on purpose. Your Chavs are the closest equivalent: your idiots and our idiots come from a culture that places *no* value on education. To them, being being smart is the opposite of being cool, and they would rather be cool.
