"I think there are stupid people every where" perfect Shannon
American and Spanish and alll humankinds because all of them adore and die for men made stupidity.
Everywhere* and yes but other countries aren’t known for it or anywhere as proud of it
@@Cassxowary the "Every where" was because of the wrong lyrics actually 😂
@@Cassxowary doesn't mean we're dumber at a higher rate than any other country just that it gets more publicized because of our influential media.
@@Cassxowary I mean I’d judge a country by the best of them. Shitty people everywhere, but who changes things for the better? I’d say the Americans do more in terms of tech and global research to move scientific and humanitarian relief forward. I mean shit we are discussing this on an American platform and I’m watching this on an American phone with an American made operating system. If I order an Uber later that’s on them too. Europe just likes to fight amongst themselves and not pull through to help each other when it counts.
"The official language of Argentina is Portuguese" such as Brazil official language is spanish lol 😂
I really love both of them
The second language is Welsh (in Patagonia).
Nooo everyone knows it’s argentinese
@@monke9432 LOL. Absolutely!
The easiest way to remember about Spain during WW1 is because of what we called the Spanish Flu. The name doesn't come because the epidemic originated in Spain but because the countries involved into WW1 didn't announce their own cases because they didn't want the enemy to know at what extent they were affected. But Spain was a neutral country during WW1 so this information was not "classified". So many people from that time were inducted to think that the situation was worse in Spain than anywhere else, and that's why the disease was eventually called Spanish Flu.
Interesting
That was exactly what I was thinking about. They don’t teach things to young people in school anymore do they? The lack of general knowledge amongst younger people is kind of surprising sometimes.
@@pjschmid2251 I'm sorry but we have bigger things to teach in German schools concerning the world wars.
That's right. The crossover from horses to humans originated in the USA and was brought to Europe on the troop ships. So it should have been called the American Flu.
That's correct
When Andrea said "That's my best friend , Shannon" and danced with her Andrea from Mexico and Stefania from italy left the chat 😑
I really love Shannon. She is so cool
Stefanie mamo moya Stefanie...
Spanish people have friends everywhere hahaha don’t take it personally
I love how everyone is so brave in the comment section and knows all the answers, but it's so different when you are being filmed and you're supposed to represent a whole country. That is when you hesitate even about your name.
We all have been in a stressful situation like that.
Indeed, i think they did it really well even having that pressure, and also had some fun, which is the point
I didn't know Spanish people were considered stupid outside. Since I moved to the UK everybody has been telling me how good workers we are. Maybe we are not too good with languages (English specifically) and that can be seen as dumb but our educational level is pretty good. I studied a master's in a British university with people from all over the worlds and I could compare the level. Everybody wants Spanish nurses, for example. I think the biggest problem is that we don't even believe in ourselves. The self deprecation humour is quite common.
As a Brit we generally think of the Spanish as hard working and super friendly. I have heard people say ‘dumb’ but I think it’s a bit more... how to put this nicely.. I don’t think it’s uneducated so much as silly/flirty/say silly things/loud and foolish if that makes sense. But it’s a stereotype.
@@jaybee4288 you're right we are silly XDD
@@jaybee4288 I worked for agencies and yes, Spanish workers are highly appreciated, even in hospitality and other manual jobs (more than British if I may say). Sometimes I think it is because we are used to work many hours, even weekends.
Creo que no existe mejor forma de explicarlo ❤️
I am born in Colombia but grew up in Sweden, then studied nursing and then I have studied medicine and i've met many spanish students and you usually have a higher standard than swedish students, you usually know more than us, the only thing is what you have already mentioned the language part.
We dont use Fahrenheit in Germany... the girls are right! 😂
ye I am confused too
@@BananaNanaGirl 5:41
I was literally questioning my nationality there 😂🤣 never learnt Fahrenheit, don't understand it. Don't make us Germans learn it... Bye 😅🤗🤧
Yes, celsius is used in Europe and most of the world. Fahrenheit is only used in the US and a few other countries.
@ellenolsson3703 I hate Celsius. I don't think it's a broad temperature scale like Fahrenheit is. I think countries should use a combination of Metric and Imperial measurements. That way, no one is confused and you get a look at both perspectives.
Andrea " Let's go cry "
I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"There are stupid people everywhere. But I think America is just louder about it."
Yep, America has a normal percentage of idiots, but, often regrettably, American idiots are typically more outgoing and confident than either South American or European idiots. -- an American and a former resident of Germany and Brazil
Lack of knowledge does not equal stupid.
There are plenty of people who are super smart, but stick to their field of expertise.
There's a reason knowledge questions aren't in IQ tests.
I guess it depends on your definition of “smart”, which in itself doesn’t really mean anything. If you’re a genius but never make use of your faculties to make yourself knowledgeable you’ll still come off as a moron in a conversation
i literally tell this to everyone, but i guess you have to be smart to understand what being smart is, congrats
You're right, it doesn't. However it's quite unusual for an intelligent person to not have a natural curiosity for general knowledge. Usually intelligent people feel the need to understand their world as much as possible.
How can anyone generalize a group of people with that kind of question? Some people might be less educated than others, but that's worldwide. Perceptions about people they've never met persist everywhere.
They both fit the stereotype perfectly 😂
Spain & US in 1898: *WAR!!*

Underrated comment!
@@Nonesovile96 yeah, because Spain was the only country with the Inquisition, huh? 😂
@@Nonesovile96 Black legend about Spain . In Germany nd Belgium much more witches were killed
@@miriamreilly5639 Somehow the Spanish Inquisition is the most (in)famous one.
@@Nonesovile96 Nope!
In all the countries of Europe: the Inquisition
I'm a Spaniard and I personally don't think it's thaaat bad, the questions are made hard on purpose hahah Ánimo Andrea!!
Andrea is very funny, kind and sweet. If spaniards are all like her I would definitely go to Spain.
Really Spain was neutral during WW2 too in the sense that Franco's regime was never part of the Axis or at war with the Allies. Part of why he lasted until the 70s (that part gets overlooked!)
Francoism was pretty based:)
@@Ailurophile1984 I prefer Franco's confidant Luis Carrero Blanco, for he became the first Spanish astronaut. 🚗💣💥🆙️⬆️
Because one person is always a great representation of an entire population.
As a Spanish i’m not represented with Andrea in this video😂😂 how do they doubt so much???? Hahaha i guess they’re nervous
and tbh in spain we dont learn mych history from our own country... the only one i didnt knew was the pesos on filipinas wtf
Ha sido un vídeo interesante. Estaría bien hacerlo con más nacionalidades.
I’m from the US. The only one of these questions I got wrong was the Philippines pesos one (and by the way, I know for a fact Fahrenheit is not used in Germany and the guy who proposed it was Dutch) and the ones I got right I got easily.
true
This has more to do with general knowledge than cleverness but whatever, nice video i did not know that the Philippines use pesos, that is the only thing i got wrong but now i know, you learn something every day.
you have two wrong because germany doesn't use fahrenheit.
The producers had that wrong.
we use celsius. hahah
@@katii1997 The question was where was it invented, you spoon
This is really great video. I have really loved it
At the end she really said "aight imma head out"
Ok, I am sorry but in Germany we don't use Fahrenheit at all. I don't know where they got that information from, but over here we use Celsius as the rest of Europe.
They correct it at the end. It was just a joke.
Just a joke man relax
@@EdgarRenje 😂
Yeah, they explain that at the end.
Shannon and Andrea are great together, they should do more videos. :D
Overall we not necessarily more stupid but many are ignorant and lack good sense. Too many parents relegate their responsibility to guide the education of their children to the public education system which get overwhelmed by issues the parents should be handling
When you are in Europe you have so many counties attached to each other knowing what going on in other countries is more common. The US is so large and only has 2 counties bordering. We have less of a reason to maintain the knowledge.
Also remember 100 IQ is the middle. It means half the people are low IQ. Shannon is right and we are louder about it. We have so many the it makes us look worst. I also think the educational system in the US is us dumber.
Andre toda dramatica porque respondio una pregunta mal......me encanta jajaja
Jajajajaja volví al pasado. Estaba pensando “Dios! Hace al menos 15 años que me dieron eso en historia” y me sentí como si me hubieran puesto un cero como un piano en el examen 🤣🤣🤣
@@andrearuizrodriguez8636 lo haces genial y eres el alma de world friends!
@@nomeimporta1327 oohhh muchísimas gracias 🫶
Yes, next question.
I HAVE to write A commenetary. In Germany we use Celsius....
Not Fahrenheit. Maybe Scientists but not All People. Weathernews for example are in Celsius.
My old teacher that worked on a university in science never used fahrenheit before. only celsius. I dont know why they think we use fahrenheit in germany XD
Wurde doch aufgelöst, dass Fahrenheit NICHT genutzt wird
Oh my 😳😳. Shannon's... Lovely lovely 😍😍😍😍
This is really awesome and I enjoyed this so much
This was really wholesome also Andrea and Shannon are both a chaotic duo this was video was just a fun watch
THE BEST DUO in the history of world friends, VAMOS!
If you had told me before this video started that Andrea was going to make a donkey sound, I'm not sure I would've believed you. 🤣
Fahrenheit and Temperature messuring was invented by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. Nowadays we use a more logical way to measure temperature (Celsius)
how is Celsius more logical? Kelvin and Rankine are more "logical" than Celsius, in any case
@@alquinn8576 well when it comes to human life it's the most logical thing in my opinion because humans and the entire world are correlating with water so it makes sense with 0° water is freezing and 100° water is boiling (sry I'm not native English speaker)
@@einfachdaniel3659 that is only true for pure water at 1 atmosphere. totally useless for sea water or if you're in the mountains at 11,000 feet (that's 3000 meters in Freedom Units!)
This is amazing video
Very funny video :)
Hello, the Philippines was not a "colony" of Spain because Spanish didn’t have colonies, they had Viceroyalties, they’re two different forms of government. The Philippines was part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain that encompassed what is now Mexico and almost all the Caribbean countries, part of the USA, part of southern Canada and the Philippine, Mariana and Caroline Islands. Maybe that's why they use pesos the same as in Mexico. This is just so you know that there is an important difference and it’s incorrect to use “colonies” to refer to Spain 😊
that's wrong!
The fact that its form of government was a Viceroyalty doesn't remove the fact that it was a Spanish colony. Especially if you take into account that the name "colony" comes from Cristobal Colombus (Colón in Spanish) and it only refers to a country or a territory being political and economically dependent to the main country. So, of course, it was a colony and its form of government is something that should not be taken into account to determine that. Thank you
Y ahora en español, solo tienes que informarte un poco para ver que sí, claro que España tenía un Virreinato en México, y claro que desde ese Virreinato gobernaban las Filipinas (y luego directamente desde España)… pero nada de eso cambia el hecho de que sea una colonia, simplemente por estar gobernada bien por el Virreinato de México o por la propia España o por la Conchinchina, ya hace que sea una colonia.
@@camposdefresa17 al parecer no sabes la diferencia de virreinato con colonia. Virreinato; éramos todos tratados como españoles, tanto como los americanos, los asiáticos, africanos y europeos. Teníamos los mismos derechos, leyes y representados por una reina que nos protegía. Caso contrario, las colonia que tenían los británicos, holandeses, franceses y portugueses; era cometer genocidio y tratar a los nativos y esclavos, como ciudadanos de segunda clase, como hizo EEUU con los afroamericanos, de darles derecho hasta 1960’ en adelante. Hay una gran diferencia, y te recomiendo que te instruyas más en lo que es un virreinato, y no una colonia; teniendo el caso de nuestros hermanos puertorriqueños.
@@Olsjaz vuelvo a explicar, y esta vez con palabra de nuestra queridísima RAE: "Territorio dominado y administrado por una potencia extranjera". Eso es una colonia, así que sí, lamento comentarte que, por mucho que varíe la forma en la que se gobernaba o trataba a los gobernados, seguía siendo una colonia. Así que te animo a informarte sobre la lengua española antes de usar términos incorrectos.
The fact that "America" is interpreted as a country in this video, should tell you enough.
That Americans are dumb?
The fact that you're pretending you don't understand it's common, world-wide, to abbreviate the official name of the Unites States of America tells us all enough about your level of intellectual honesty.
@@AlexWinterborn You have a position, a feeling, that didn't come form logical thinking. Now you are trying to use logic to defend your position. Try to name the capital, the country and then the continent with the USA. For example; Paris - France - Europe
@@AlexWinterborn BTW you seem like a bot.
@@AlexWinterborn the fact that you think everybody call you America is by way more STUPID. The reason is that you ignore all the people around you and don't even try to learn languages. In Spanish we call you estadounidenses referring to United States, not americanos. The only one who has not name for themselves are you "Americans".
Fahrenheit or Celsius, they're hot.
Sizzling dolls

"America is just louder about it" says the American girl in the video
Today i just saw the devilish side of Andrea
I don´t undestand why the spaniards doesn´t know things so basics. At the age of 10 years we learn about WW1, Spain was neutral both WW. Everybody knows here. Everybody knows that Franco was after WW1, in the thirties. American did well.
you can't generalize, there are a lot of people who doesn't know a thing, in any country you will be surprised, I am one of those guys who have no more than a 5 (you can pass with this mark in Spain education) and my culture level is standard, but I have seen some videos from Americans and from people of my country, and is incredible what the people doesn't know, very crazy and fundamental things that's unbelievable
It all depends on age groups, occupation, education, etc etc. Andrea studied that probably around 10 to 20 years ago, there are plenty things from basic education people just forget cause it's not brought up regularly or at all in their daily lives. Then there are details making it harder to guess, like spain having good relationships with the axis during ww2 even though they were officially neutral.
In a neutral country I suppose those things aren't so important to know.
In Italy the WW1 with Caporetto, with the battle for Trento and Trieste etc... is storically, culturally very very important. In Italy the 4th november (the day when was signed the Austrian-Italian armistice in 1918) is a National festivity, the day of the National Unity and Armed Forces.
In Spain is only one of the plenty war in the European history.
Germany isn't using the Farenheit system. It's a common thing all over the EU. But Gabriel Farenheint was a German physicist. Very few countries in the world are using Farenheit. But those two have a good chemistry.
These questions weren't that difficult and these two were just nervous from being on camera and put on the spot, they're obviously both really intelligent.
I have to admit I didn't recognize the map question until Andrea dropped her clue, I actually thought maybe it was the Netherlands or Ireland.
DUUUUMB, UR DUUUUUMB!
YES
2:00 Falta Canariasssss >:(
American: 'You use Celsius, right?' Thus was the premise of the video demonstrated.
@@AlexWinterborn Canada, originally.
Fahrenheit is actually a polish born dutch physicist not german, although with some german background in his family
Americans are!, REALLY though!!
😆
ANDREA BELISSIMA !
Yessss.
I'm a little concerned now that the fellow european wasn't sure we all use Celsius ☠️
Probably because you all don't lmao
@@ParadiseDB7 We do. But we don't use the word Celsius very often in everday conversations, we just say e.g. 25 degrees / degrés / Grad / grados / gradi etc. Everyone understands that you're talking about degrees Celsius, because hardly anyone in the world except some weirdos uses Fahrenheit to measure temperatures. And if you use Kelvin instead of Celsius in a scientific context, you always make sure there's no confusion.
@@AV-we6wo also for Kelvin, it's not degrees. So 0 *degrees* Celsius is 273 Kelvins, not degrees Kelvin.
@@nightspicer You're right, thank's for the correction.
@@AV-we6wo The "weirdos" that have won more Nobel prizes than any country in Europe? Must be why the US has lagged behind in scientific innovation and that its economy is so small. I'm confused as to why it has over half of the world's top 100 universities.
España se libró de las dos guerras mundiales!
Porque en la primera no tuvimos los motivos para entrar y en la segunda ya habíamos pasado por nuestra guerra civil, lo cual fue igualmente duro ya que el país estaba destrozado (en varios aspectos) y muy ocupado recuperándose. En cualquier caso en ambas ocasiones también sufrimos, por ejemplo, las consecuencias económicas.
España sí que participó en la II Guerra Mundial(una pequeña parte)Franco mandó la División Azul apoyando a las tropas hitlerianas contra los Rusos.
@@miriamreilly5639 Más o menos. Hay _matices_ que no hay que olvidar, la División Azul estuvo activa en distintos frentes de la IIGM por dos años y medio. Además, la guerra civil española también fue un tipo de guerra proxy, en la que cada bando fue apoyado con insumos de guerra para pelear contra el otro bando.
@@xolotlmexihcah4671 ciertamente! Aunque hablamos en este caso de la oficialidad en sí.
Sin embargo, al igual que uno de los lados, tampoco podemos olvidar "La Nueve", donde republicanos españoles ayudaron a liberar París de los Nazis.
@El Cano efectivamente, y en ese caso me alegra que no hayamos pintado nada 🙏🏻🙏🏻😂😂
Yes
They're seriously giving them the primary school questions just so they have a chance of getting anything right xddd
yes.
see thats funny cuz i was thought that multiplication goes first so 2+2x2+2 would be 8, imagine i added and then multiplied it would then be 16
In 1914 it was the kingdom of Spain after the second republic and then the civil war
Shannon is so damn pretty, sheesh.
I'm European and I've never ever heard of a stereotype of the Spanish being stupid...
Im from Spain and I have never heard anyone say that we are stupid 🤔 i mean a lot of us are, but that happens everywhere 😂
@@crisc1049 I’m Irish, so I know a thing or two about offensive stereotypes!
España fue neutral en las dos guerras aunque tenía la división azul que participó contra Rusia en la segunda. Lo tendría que saber como Española.
Mirate los videos de supergeografia ( el pregunta cosas de cultura general en España), después de ver esos videos lo sorprendente es que sepa que hubo dos guerras mundiales jajajaja
Ser español no te da conocimiento infuso sobre historia, nombrame la plantilla del real madrid.
Me living in the Philippines and being a Filipina 🥲 but actually ther's different kinds of peso, Philippine peso is just one kind, I think? SInce I remember why they say PHP instead of just Peso
I thought The Vatican was a microsstate like Monaco
Sad that a Spaniard does not know that her country was neutral during both world wars
That is not accurate. In the WW II Spain was formally neutral. The reality was that Franco, the spanish fascist dictator supported the Nazis. It is well known sometimes they operated from Spain.
@@xalau5270 Franco's Spain was officially neutral during WW2. Franco's support, like the Blue Division, was never officially under Spanish insignia.
@@67claudius that doesnt mean he did not support Hitler. He did, he allowed them to operate in the Spanish territory and the Spanish coast. Also Madrid was swarming with german spies. It is not casual that by the end the war Spain did not receive a dollar from the Marshall Plan. The allies knew well what role Franco played in the war
@@xalau5270 The answer to that would be "Yes and no".
The goverment was in favor of the nazis but then a civil war happened, and you know what that means? Is not a country vs another country, it's a fight about ideologies. Saying this because of what I've seen in my own family, no one on my own was a Franco supporter, even one of them died because of nazis. It's a hard thing to answer, but civil wars are hard to explain to begin with.

Whoever made the Fahrenheit question… WTH is that question?
Germany uses Celsius!!!!!
Fahrenheit is when used in some special science stuff…
I love these two so much xD 7:04 hahahaha
Don't worry, Andrea, as a fellow Spanish I tell you are a lovely, funny and kind representation of us. Despite you get right tricky questions or not!
She's a great representation for you.
She's so funny.
I looooove their chemistry!!!😍😍
These are just general knowledge questions. If you read a little history online growing up you know these things.
Germans use celsius, not Fahrenheit, like everywhere else in Europe and the world. They used to but they switched in the late 1960s or early 1970s
... that's what they say in the video, Germany doesn't use Fahrenheit.
Nonsense, most of continental Europe switched to Celsius already in th 19th century, and before Réaumur was widely used in Western Europe.
That must be why the rest of the world has outpaced America's scientific innovations. =]
They are so cute😂😂

What's up with World friends these days? This title is very rude to Americans and there was also a video about breast size... really inappropriate ...
Anyways, I really enjoy these two together!
So funny 😂
Germany uses celsius
That was so much fun , especially when the guy is being active with them .

I do agree with them. Hard shit to rememeber
Esperate puajaja
It’s okay girls, at least you are very beautiful!
2:19 The answer is sixteen.
Andrea knew all of the answers but was pretending she didn’t know to be polite 😉
she definitely did not know the WWI question...
For Spanish people WWI is not soo important as the Civil War between 1936 - 1939, soo many weapons were tested in the Civil War for the WWII.
Spain was neutral because WWI was more profitable to sell food, goods, weapons to the countries that where fighting and because we had the Bourbones dinasty and in the WWI was an Austria who was shot and started the conflict.
Look at our president. 🤪 Apparently we chose him.
I don't know if you're a spaniard or an american by saying that, so i guess both are on the same boat.
@@tendrillion3580 American.
This title is a bit too rude
But it's the truth!
A Spanish girl does not know the alignment of her own country in the first world war? Wow!
This is what happens when you live in a country with more than 3000 years of history. You can't remember everything.
In addition, we Spaniards have more important things to remember from those years, much more important than a war in which we did not participate. In America they only have to remember a few hundred years.
