Im from the UK and knew all of these. Half of these were just common knowledge. Really surprised on how little the younger generation know about their own countries history.
I am a Brazilian and I wonder if these people have history of their own country in schools. It is not possible that they simply do not know about the biggest events in the USA.
As an American i can tell you no, we don't. We're too busy being politically correct to actually teach children real history. I learned history from my parents and reading books.
I'm a millennial and I knew all the answers, and was pleasantly surprised that I did. This was so much fun to play along to at home! Please do more of these!
I think a lot of us are taking their lack of pop culture & historical knowledge too seriously. I'm Gen X and only missed the serial killer question (thought it was Son of Sam). There are things that Gen Z hasn’t learned yet. When you lived during the times of the events, it's easier to judge. I wouldn’t have gotten the George Carlin or Dustin Hoffman questions right if this had been asked when I was a teenager. Give Gen Z some grace.
The point is at their ages, they likely would've learned it. They certainly should have learned JFK and Watergate in school. Angel reminded me of the classmate who tries to ask everyone for the answers because they know nothing.
Everything except the Berlin wall happened before I was born, yet I knew. Kids these days have no curiosity about history. Whether it be pop culture or geo-political.
I stopped watching this channel for a while after the pandemic started. I have to say, I am so relieved to see the Elders of this channel all well and healthy :)
I love Jaxon!!! He’s just way too cool for school!!! How did he not get the Moon landing though…he even said it!!! I mean what are they teaching in American schools and colleges????
The schools do teach it. That doesn't mean the students will remember it very long. I don't keep large amounts of factual information in my memory as I don't have a reason for it and I'm Gen X.
To call questions like this "Boomer history" is to give our young people the easy way out. Learn your history, both political and cultural. After all, you have Google, Wikipedia and TH-cam now to help you.
I mainly know about the Kennedy Assassination because I'm a massive _Doctor Who_ fan. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22rd, 1963. The first-ever episode of _Doctor Who_ aired on November 23rd, 1963. As you might be able to imagine, this didn't do wonders for DW's viewing figures. In fact, the viewership was so low, the producers even resorted to re-airing the pilot the next week right before episode 2, so people getting into the show wouldn't miss out in seeing the first episode. At any rate, for this reason, most big Whovians know the exact date of Kennedy's murder.
10:51 - that is not a map of The Berlin Wall! That is a map of how the whole of Germany was occupied after WWII; how it was divided into sections that were administered by America, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. The line highlighted in this map was simply the border between what would become East and West Germany, and was nearly 900 miles long! The Berlin Wall was 27 miles long and was erected in Berlin itself, which was deep in the Soviet-controlled area of Germany shown by the map given here. Despite being in the Soviet zone, because of its importance Berlin was also split into sections given over to the British, Americans, French, and Soviets to administer, which essentially made West Berlin an island in the middle of East Germany.
I'm 16 in high-school in the Philippines, and I got all of these correct, I was unsure whether the information I learned would come in handy someday so thanks FBE, for validating my knowledge.

I would have gotten 100% of these correct with absolutely no hints needed and I am gen z. I get not knowing the actors/comedians, but the absolute basic American history stuff is disturbing.

@@TheElevenBravo20 there's no such thing as American TH-cam. European people like to know more about other people and their culture and their knowledge. Can't say the same about Americans.
This just shocked me too! It makes me fear for our countries future. We learned about our parents and grandparents times in school and major wars and events. There are 20 somethings now that don't know which continent the USA is in or what a continent even is. They don't know major countries. This is in the US. In Europe and other countries I think they are better educated.
A lot of this is trivia. The history is more recent history and as a modern world history teacher I will tell you, with all we have to get through in the curriculum, and to do so thoroughly, we are lucky to get at least to the Cold War years by the end of the school year.
@@DayGloClam No. I used to feel this way too. But these babies are soooo far removed from that now. And they don’t watch regular TV like that. Where would they get references to know that?
