I honestly believe this is an act. There is a program he does called educating Joey Essex, at the start of every program he is completely lost, struggles to even pronounce a name like "Liberal Democrats" or the word " Referendum" but you watch the show carefully and there are bits where he could be a journalist himself. Playing dumb pays, he gets to travel the world and to him its worth the cost of being perceived as dumb. I honestly believe that if a group of scientist study all the videos he has online they will say I'm right and that he puts on an act. You can't go from not being able to pronounce a simple word to asking impressive questions and having a academic type conversation with someone.
I'm exactly the same I'm shit are pronouncing things and I'm dumb 99% of the time but I can hold a very long academic conversation like I can't pronounce cutlery but I'm in top set for pretty much everything in school until 2 months ago I thought Scotland and Wales were next to each other, I still don't know know which is north and which is south just cause people can't pronounce things and aren't smart at everything doesn't mean they aren't smart he might have got A* in English and that's why he's so good at holding academic convosations but got F in maths that's why he thinks squares have 6 sides don't hate unless you know someone cause most the time u will dumb 😊😇
livelifetothefull no he really is that thick. It’s not his fault, he’s just a thick little fucker. That being said he’s a cracking little fella. Good luck to him. However, thick as two short planks.
Nathan Black He got a U in his Science GCSE and that was his best grade apart from Art and Woodwork. Yes, he’s thick. He clearly acts on it a bit because it makes other brainless morons like him but he is actually a thick moron.
I've got 15 gcse's, 3 a-levels and an upper second degree but i'm sat in a council flat with no money and an opiate and alcohol addiction. Whereas this Joey guy has millions in the bank and a host of opportunities.
Connor Hornsey Only in a pathetic (modern) society can someone be richly rewarded for being fundamentally stupid. Says everything about the general level of intelligence in the UK.
All these comments making fun of him and laughing at him, its not his fault his mum passed away when he was 10, then he couldn't get an education for 5 years. I feel really sorry for him :(( but hes perfect
John Lennon's mum passed away when he was young,loads of peoples do,not really much of an excuse,especially living in the UK where we have access to the internet,library's and have the easy access and potential to educate ourselves.
If you've had a really hard childhood, lost your mum, and didn't have chance to go into school too often, your generally not going to be that smart. He could have any sort of learning difficulty and everyone thinks they can just call him thick and stupid, when you actually know nothing. "Joey Essex is not thick, he's just misunderstood."
Apparently he missed three years of secondary school because his dad died and he got bullied badly ...he was that weird kid everyone ignored .. people shouldn't laugh at him :)
I really like Joey but I'm fairly sure he isn't anywhere near as stupid as people make him out to be. He always strikes me as someone who plays the old 'Court Jester, Juggling Fool' trick to his advantage. Like with comedians that pretended to play the piano badly; they tended to actually be extremely skilled pianists. Maybe I have too much faith in Joey and 'celebrities' similar to him but ever since I first saw him on tele, I always felt that a lot of what you see is a very well crafted act.
You have some genuine celebrities from Essex that I like, such as Gary Webster. He's so cool and down-to-earth. I also quite like Jamie Oliver - at least, compared to Gordon Ramsey.
All the haters, need to get a life! Joey is beautiful so shut up just because you are jealous, jealously doesn't get you anywhere in life. Love you so much joey xo
he's actually really clever in the way that he'd tricked millions of people into thinking that he's actually stupid
Yes
oh it's such a perfect day
Well congratulations to him. He's tricked us all into thinking he's an empty headed, spray-tanned orangutan.
laura flowers It's not a trick, he is stupid lol
Did you
Go to the same school
As him
It’s definitely not an act he’s really stupid
"What country do I born in" hahaha you've gotta love Joey Essex
No he's thick as bricks
I just like to watch this video before and after exams and just think to myself...'at least i am not that stupid'.
Oh sorry hard
You laugh at him, he laughs at your bank balance
He doesn’t know how to access it.

livelifetothefull well it is reality TV.. that stuff is never really real. but hot and dumb. good combo in TV lol
livelifetothefull no he really is that thick. It’s not his fault, he’s just a thick little fucker. That being said he’s a cracking little fella. Good luck to him. However, thick as two short planks.
It's probs scripted
Bear in mind it’s scripted
His idiocy - whether intentional or otherwise - is what makes him so cute, funny and oddly charming
The most loveable thicky on the planet. Such a funny guy , and doesn't even mean to be !!!!
He runs his own business mate . Are you really that gullible lol
Stephen Pearson the point is, he’s not that thick. Hrs just got a good schtick. Considering his upbringing, a damn excellent schtick!
Nathan Black He got a U in his Science GCSE and that was his best grade apart from Art and Woodwork. Yes, he’s thick. He clearly acts on it a bit because it makes other brainless morons like him but he is actually a thick moron.
So thick in the UK means dumb. Interesting...
prqurn Yeah like your skull is so thick that nothing gets in or out XD
Not you though, just you in general.
prqurn Don't you use that expression where you come from? I could have sworn it was universal...
Streatham Soprano No, thick means a curvy body in the U.S.
prqurn
Seriously? Didn't know that. Thanks!
prqurn Thick as a plank of wood.
I like that 98% of these comments are calling him stupid while making grammatical and spelling errors.
Have you ever heard of punctuation?!
Just different degrees of lack of knowledge, which really isn't necessarily related to stupidity.
Dictionary police
It has to be an act. no one is that thick without suffering brain damage.
My sister has brain damage and she can answer most of these questions.
It's an act
well put it this way I wouldn't want him on my team against 10 year olds in a quiz
I feel kinda bad for him you can see he's hurt when people make comments about him:(
I've got 15 gcse's, 3 a-levels and an upper second degree but i'm sat in a council flat with no money and an opiate and alcohol addiction. Whereas this Joey guy has millions in the bank and a host of opportunities.
Joey is so funny lol
If stupid is funny then I guess so
That how he makes hes money
Connor Hornsey
But if he's legitimately that stupid, that's just pathetic
Yh but still
Connor Hornsey Only in a pathetic (modern) society can someone be richly rewarded for being fundamentally stupid. Says everything about the general level of intelligence in the UK.
All these comments making fun of him and laughing at him, its not his fault his mum passed away when he was 10, then he couldn't get an education for 5 years. I feel really sorry for him :(( but hes perfect
He's not perfect he is thick as shit.
***** I know right, you don't need much of an education to answer the questions he got given..
There are amoeba on Saturn who know that Wales borders England, dead parents or otherwise.
John Lennon's mum passed away when he was young,loads of peoples do,not really much of an excuse,especially living in the UK where we have access to the internet,library's and have the easy access and potential to educate ourselves.
but he had secondary school to learn stuff and he could have tort himself
If you've had a really hard childhood, lost your mum, and didn't have chance to go into school too often, your generally not going to be that smart. He could have any sort of learning difficulty and everyone thinks they can just call him thick and stupid, when you actually know nothing. "Joey Essex is not thick, he's just misunderstood."
There's people out there who grew up in warzones and they still get an education. Joeys life was pretty easy compared to others plus he grew up rich.
the guy's a star, heart of gold !!!
Thick is an understatement, this guy is a remedial.
I watch this whenever my self-esteem is low
Apparently he missed three years of secondary school because his dad died and he got bullied badly ...he was that weird kid everyone ignored .. people shouldn't laugh at him :)
he has the intellectual capacity of a prawn sandwich
I love how one side of Holly we have a doctor, the other side we have Joey .. lol
I love this boy to bits.

Is Joey Essex thick?..... Yes...
the cheeky smile he does at the end it like says "i'm so reem so i don't even care" :L love joey essex man
Honestly whether he’s dumb or faking, he seems really nice
He's adorable ☺
oh my he's so adorable 😍❤
Thats kind of a relief! I have never watched Bo selecta but I knew the Keith Lemon actor was on it I didn't realise the Essex guy was as well.
it's totally an act and he's very 'clever' at it....its hilarious !
He buys shoes that are two sizes too small for him so they don’t crease.
I'm 99% sure he's actually highly intelligent.
In fairness to him, he's made more of his life than 99.99% of people sat watching youtube. He's doing something right.
He has the intelligence of a raisin, and yet I bet he doesn't have a mortgage to pay. Life is unfair.
He reem-deemed himself 😂😂😂
HAHA this makes me feel so much better about my self XD
Keith: "What country borders Wales?"
Joey: "wot country do I born in?"
That's a compliment for him.
Just read the title,he doesn't need to take the quiz,we already know the answer.
Is it bad that I didn't even know half of these haha
"But steel is heavier than feathers."
he was on the show again last night and did this quiz. keith asks him how many sides does a square has and answers 6. this boy is thick!
aww joey is like a real life ken doll
There’s a dragon on this bridge
I actually LOVE joey he's amazing!! -3 xx
He's beyond thick. He's in the special category.
I genuinely think he is completely normal, maybe even smart, and just knows enough to play the stupid card for his job
not think just misunderstood? i'm am so going to use that!
🤗Wow Super information I got all correct 💗
Omg I love joey he's so funny love it xxx
every word that comes out of his mouth is funny
"Reem-deem" went completely over his fucking head
"Joey Essex The Quiz"... "So is this a quiz or something yeah?"
Without being Harsh, If He got together with Jedward & Pooled their Intelligence the Intellectual Level would Actually go Down!.
asking if joey essex is thick is like asking does a bear shit in the woods.
He’s very smart in his own way
I LOVE Joey !!!!
Love him so much xx
***** london is a coutry isnt it?
;)
I find it hard to believe that he really is that thick
Don't need a quiz, the answer is yes.
I think it's a bar/club regularly used in the show, hence why Joey knows it.
lol it's funny how many people call him stupid and yet he's more successful then all of us
4:14
"I can't tell the time"
What.
They pay him in monopoly money, he hasn't noticed yet.
Omg he's so cute!!
And that's why alien life will never visit us
no hesitation when holly said he can look if it helps..........hm.......
You have some genuine celebrities from Essex that I like, such as Gary Webster. He's so cool and down-to-earth. I also quite like Jamie Oliver - at least, compared to Gordon Ramsey.
he's like dougal from father ted lol
How did he pass his driving tests
He actually got it..... On the 3rd attempt
I think this a tricky question so fearne 😂😂
that's a really good point. i always just assumed peeople from essex were thick because of that show...
and now i feel bad:(
Joey your a legend 👍
badass alert
Well... So.... Thick just got to a whole new level hahaha
I have only one wish...that he meets Frankie Boyle
It'll be like Muhammad Ali vs jedward
I remember when they did the pub quiz and the question was:
'In which class at school would you use a Bunsen Burner?'
Joey answered 'Year 7.' =.=
lmfao you can have a look if it helps haha.... dude is a mammoth dingbat lol. but love him, always makes me laugh
never went to school, to busy pulling..
What episode is this one on?
guys, it was his mum who hung herself not his dad. And yeah, he missed out on a couple years of school because of it.
Wow he’s actually not that thick he knows the capital of France. It only took him 10 seconds to get it 🤓😂.
tbh i was thinking holly's too!
He must be taking the piss, He thinks london is a country and that it borders wales
He asked his date if Canada was really a country like England XDXD
what episode is this?
Omg I love him so much:') he is stupid but makes me laugh..
All the haters, need to get a life! Joey is beautiful so shut up just because you are jealous, jealously doesn't get you anywhere in life. Love you so much joey xo
he has no idea how much he makes
He still coudn't remember which country borders Wales? Oh my days! Lol
"what country borders wales". "errr, london?"
fucking tragic but hilarious.
omg I love him
in the second Joey Essex quiz he actually said Russia borders wales after being told the answer in this quiz
surely he must be acting? surely? lmao
Going by your comment,it dropped long ago.
I think its a trick question LOOOL
He's so cute!
Who cares if it’s an act or not. I suspect it is. However, he’s just adorable.
i love joey
