Not knowing which of the old drawings it was would be acceptable, but the fact he was willing to consider selecting someone with a black and white photo for the inventor of the printing press is incredible to me
I completely respect NL for taking knowledge-based quizzes and uploading them for thousands of people to see and comment on. I buckle under pressure when I play alone so I can't begin to imagine the confidence.

It's the Gutenberg one that got me. Like you don't even have to know what his name was or what he looked like, all you needed to know that the printing press is 500+ years old to guess which picture is from someone that lived that far back.

Don't get too impressed, he fucked up the pronunciation. He said "AvalokitesRAVA" instead of "AvalokitesVARA". That being said, I definitely couldn't pronounce it better without sounding it out slowly, and I wouldn't be able to actually pronounce it correctly (apparently "AvalokiTAY-shvera") without Googling.
There are statues, but money talks which is why we don't really know what George Washington looks like because the most famous painting was a composite of two different people.
Honestly I used to be somewhat against the channel changes, but ive changed my mind. The sporcle stuff, among others, is super good eats, keep it up NL!
Patty Hearst is alive and well, thank you, and all of 67 years of age. What made you think she's dead? The kidnapping took place in 1974 when she was 20.
Man, These sets of quizzes in particular really highlight my biases, anything relating to math or science or business made me instantly block out all the women and only focused on the men, while anything relating to art or singing made me do the opposite of that
In a quiz like that it's good though, but you have to take into account the time period. Ask "Would women be allowed to or be able to get famous with this in this time period?", if not then they're probably an actress or singer.
Im a bit shocked you dont know of Ada lovelace- but you shoulda known none of the other remaining images were old enough to be first programmer. I mean you know the first computer like machines like the difference engine and babage's work on the analytical engine were in the victorian era right? All those photos were way too modern.
@22:52 Something my history teacher told me years ago ; "In art, when greeks go bald they grow out their beards, when romans go bald they wear a crown". Might sound dumb but its true.
I had no idea who most of the Hollywood stars were just from pictures (even tho I knew their names) or the authors, but was screaming at the screen "Benazir Bhutto" and "Desmond Tutu"

i heard that as "looks like a puppet here" which was even funnier
NL knowing 50 people I've never heard of:
NL not knowing Gutenberg: "what an iiiiidiot"
Literally me but with Cesar Chavez
ada lovelace for me
carmen miranda for me
I sleep VS real shit meme

writing a 300,000 word essay on nl mixing up patty hearst and cesar chavez
*The UFW wants to know your location
That’s not an essay. That’s a book my friend.
This got me so good hahaha
Also him saying “If she was alive today” she literally is alive today 💀💀💀
”He’s all about circles” - Egg
11:32
nevermind the fact that he was not english royalty lol
Also the fact he was a goddamn priest
Egg with circle glasses
It honestly feels like NL has found his final form. This stuff plays to all of his strengths, it’s perfect.
“You are Socrates”
Plato
“Pretty much”
To be fair, most of what we know about Socrates and his philosophy was written by Plato.
My favorite was the bit with Nero, who apparently caused the fall of the roman republic xD

the elon musk picture of dorian gray joke had me rolling
so true...
"ohhh fuck" there has never been a greater moment in NL history
that was pure agony
10:24 for people who are interested
I'm not even supposed to BE here
Two rough knocks made the egg crack for the first time in a while
Missing Bach and then Copernicus really broke him
I'm honestly living for my daily dose of Sporcle
“Look at this smart egg”

“Later everyone”
I know dude I fucking love watching him play this stuff. It's like chess though I'm just confused how he crushes them both
Same, he's so entertaining
"I swear to god if you were somehow the king of the united kingdom"
That guy was scary
*nl on a 3 perfect streak*
"I can't lose!"
*sees next quiz*
"Okay, I can lose"
*looks closer*
"I'm about to lose."
And then he didn't
Let it be known, NL thinks the printing press was invented after photography.
Not getting the anti-apartheid & human rights clue when Desmond Tutu is literally standing in front of a sign saying "Free The Slaves". Never change, Egg. :D
Or we could be more light hearted and poke fun at him not getting the chica banana lady.
For all I know that could have said "Fricking Slackers"
everytime he look at the question he look at the black guy and was like "this is a red herring"
ME: the questionnaire was lazy
@@Gorm169 maybe it was "frick your slave", some kind of BDSM shit
There were no slaves in Apartheid so that doesn't really help
“You organized the farm workers”
(Gestures at Patty Hearst)
😂
NL guessing/knowing increasingly obscure figures from history but somehow not knowing Ada Lovelace has shook me completely
It's the Gutenberg one that got me. Like you don't even have to know what his name was or what he looked like, all you needed to know that the printing press is 500+ years old to guess which picture is from someone that lived that far back.
People from the 1800s generally aren’t well known
The Ada Lovelace reveal was great. Hope it encouraged some people to look her up. She was a damn genius.
I was like "IT'S ADA LOVELACE DEAREST LOVE, DAUGHTER OF LORD BYRON AND GRANDMOTHER OF COMPUTING!" 😂😂😂😂😂
@@dylanb2990 Ada Lovelace is much better known than most. And one of the best known women of that century.
Duuuude copernicus was from reinesscance, they didnt invent the neck circles yet
They never should have
"As God is my witness... I thought Copernicus wore one of these dumb things around his neck."
"I was a performer known for my comic performance, gravelly voice, and animated features......... Cato the Elder"
Holy shit that got me good lmao
Something so out of character about the way he said "oh fuck" at 10:25 that sent me into hysterics. Wonderful content.
As soon as I saw Ada Lovelace, I was anticipating NL's exact reaction
I'm surprised he didn't know that tbh, I would have thought she'd get mentioned in every intro to programming course.
@@brlbrlbrlbrl you'd think that, but she's overrepresented as it is, because she had no impact over modern programming, as her work was rediscovered long after programmes were being written.
@@DanielMircea as soon I saw the prompt without looking at the pictures my mind went to Grace Hopper instead.
yep this exactly. Also when I saw Beethoven and Bach in the same quiz I just knew he would confuse them
@@DanielMircea Following that logic, we shouldn't learn about half the Graeco-Roman people we know, considering how many Classical era texts were ignored until the Renaissance.
Please never stop the Sporcles. They’re too good!!
Are we not gonna mention how smoothly this man fired off the word Avalokitesvara holy wow
that was smooth
Don't get too impressed, he fucked up the pronunciation. He said "AvalokitesRAVA" instead of "AvalokitesVARA".
That being said, I definitely couldn't pronounce it better without sounding it out slowly, and I wouldn't be able to actually pronounce it correctly (apparently "AvalokiTAY-shvera") without Googling.
But he didn't say it correctly though
24:10 NL here with bold History of Philosophy takes
the best moment of the vid
@@444milk This is the content I crave
“You’re honestly going to tell me you know what Julius Caesar looks like?”
There are statues, but money talks which is why we don't really know what George Washington looks like because the most famous painting was a composite of two different people.
I laughed so hard I had to pause the video.
@10:01 his soul leaves his body
Truly blessed episode. Was in stitches the entire time, from a combination of the commentary AND NLs encyclopedia knowledge of basically everything.
Just wanna say, shit's been hard lately, but man this boosted my mood so much. Thank you, Egg Dad.
Northernlion: *fails spectacularly*
“You didn’t see that.”
*uploads video*
I don't remember that being in the video. ;)
You are educating me and you know what the people want. Keep the sporcle coming you infinite well of dad-knowledge
This was my favourite Sporcle so far!
Honestly I used to be somewhat against the channel changes, but ive changed my
mind. The sporcle stuff, among others, is super good eats, keep it up NL!
This series seriously scratches my Jeopardy itch. I love it !
Gotta be honest I haven't watched NL since the early days of Binding of Issac but this is really good content, really liking it

Christopher Nolan and Joel Coen - often referred to as the coen brothers 😂
I played an important role in the fall of the roman empire
Freddie. Mercury.

Absolute top tier content blessing our sub boxes once again
Is it bad Northern is the first youtuber i look forward too everyday like my little break from reality
Ah yes, the prime minister of Israel, Allmight Goldmere

Her name's Allmight? I've been calling her Allspark all these years. Why didn't anyone tell me?
The name of my next DnD character.
That second to last game was a work of art
This was probably the funniest Sporcle video I have ever seen
Absolute blaze of glory at the end
The quiz content is still so pogged
Ladies and gentlemen, several perfects.
In a row.
In Old English.
And he understood it.
Julius Caesar wearing a literal golden wreath over here and NL being unsure whether or not he's Hippocrates?
10:03 that eye opening moment hits different

I can't be mad at you for the Johann sebastian bach mistake. You did amazing on most of these all things considered.
he knows all the unknown people and then doesnt recognize Galileo or Gutenberg.

Not knowing Cousteau, London, or Chavez really shook me

My man is a walking encyclopedia
NL not being able to figure out that the only black guy on the board was the anti-apartheid activist is an all time moment
16:05 ?? Patty Hearst was born 1954 and is still alive. There was color film in the late 30s, so why should she not have a color photo?
I had no idea who most of the Hollywood stars were just from pictures (even tho I knew their names) or the authors, but was screaming at the screen "Benazir Bhutto" and "Desmond Tutu"
I've never heard NL curse, it was glorious
go back to some old videos if you wanna hear baby NL cursing up a storm
He is almost entirely unfiltered in his streams
I remember reading somewhere that Zuckerberg has a weird obsession with Augustus and his hairstyle is based off of Augustus's.

Nolan has only been nominated once at the Oscars.

Egg not knowing his own queen's father is the saddest moment of the video
Impressive knowledge, the most surprising one to me was not knowing Cesar Chavez. I guess if you're not from the US it makes sense.
my whole watch later playlist is egg playing sporcle
Damn, I was sure King George VI invented crumping
You're thinking of crumpets
Why does Copernicus look like Sips in that picture?
I love the confidence with which he says the wrong names.
Him not recognizing J. Pollock hurt me lol
I couldn't say why, but the zuckerberg comment had me cackling for a good minute thirty.
NL said send it and I got an Ad. That's weird egg magic
He just put his cursor over Joel Coen and said it was Jonathan Nolan
He just clicked on a color photo of a grown man and said it was the first computer programmer.
Omg, NL's face in the thumbnail looks like an angry NPC from Oblivion!
15:20 Patty Hearst, heard the burst of Rolands thompson-gun and bought it.
gotta tell ya, i like the general trivia much more than the movie stuff. geography and shit is the funniest
I love sporkle my dude
I love the triple-perfect win followed up with a direct 11/18
shame Sherlock Holmes wasn't in any of these cause NL's powers of deduction are strong here
Today we learned that NL doesn't know about Jack London.
i was absolutely SCREAMING about patty hearst
Best thumbnail
The “awww fuck” caught me off guard ngl 😂😂
10:08 Never seen someone get so demoralized so quickly 🤣
How did he not know Caesar immediately. I thought he was joking when he skipped it.
I cant believe you looked Neil Simons face and thought: "man, this is a guy who looks like he dances for a living"
I expect no less that NL would not know my man Pollock considering his artistic prowess
I recognized Augustus immediately because of the hair, but that has to be the worst 3D render of Augustus Caesar I have ever seen.
"ADA LOVELACE?" NL asks.
"Yes, Ada Lovelace" I utter under my breath and get back to coding.
Shameful that a unity-certified developer wouldn't recognize Ada Lovelace, smdh
I actually got mad tilted when he called Robert E. Lee Stonewall Jackson and when he didn't think Cesar Chavez was the one who made the agricultural union in California.
“Ah the central figure of Christianity … I’m pretty sure that that is Michael Jordan” -NL
