You weren't kidding when you said you know nothing about geography! God damn! Victoria is possibly the best known African lake, with Victoria Falls and all.
Why would you think Ireland was a trick question? The Irish border issue is an issue because it’s an EU border? Thought everyone would know that by now given how much it’s talked about?
@@ShaneOfThrones The border that seperates northern ireland/UK from republic ireland. The border that if it is not closed when brexit happens(which they won't), means that anything/anyone from the EU could travel freely through to the UK. (meaning brexit would cause the UK to loose all positives from being in the EU while having all the negatives). Not from anywhere close to the UK and even I know what a joke it is.
Smith notes (incorrectly) that Bell invents bifocals and when it's discovered it was Ben Franklin, he (incorrectly) refers to him as an American President. That's fine, but of course then (incorrectly) disparages the question as "slightly inaccurate". He doesn't know the answers but has the temerity to question the facts presented in the game itself. CLASSIC SMITH.
@@Betuor Listen again. Smith says something like 'Oh it was one of the American presidents, good knowledge. Slightly innacurate, but I can appreciate it'. As in, good knowledge for knowing it was one of the old American (non)presidents, but slightly innacurate for not knowing which.
@@Betuor That's exactly how Smith meant it. Nobody thinks Edison is an ex-US president, lots of people think both Jefferson and Franklin are. Why would he say "Oh so it WAS one of the US presidents" if he was talking about Edison? Especially straight after Ross said who it was.
The 'Saturn and the Moon' series of questions was interesting actually, because the answer to one question came back and helped with another. The answer to one of the questions was that Saturn was named after the Roman god of agriculture, then later it asked which of the two answers had the sickle as it's astrological symbol (A sickle obviously being a tool used in farming). If you remembered the previous questions you could have answered it with no prior knowledge.
@@benrodir2 you do a lot of stuff on Africa in primary school and as said above it was in a top gear episode. So I good chance a lot of people heard of it
Trott is one of those people they interview when they want to prove Americans have no basic understanding of anything happening in the world. "Erm, this country is... Africa?"
"They speak Brazilian in Brazil, Spanish in Portugal, and Venus is a gas giant" Honestly I thought our education system in America was terrible but watching these people play these quiz games and consistently miss basic knowledge questions makes me question if the British one is even worse. Lol. At least Trott's got his good looks
@@marquinator92 One of the main differneces IMO is that the British system, or at least the one in England and Wales, is more aimed at specialisation, so even the smarter people tend to not be that great outside 'their area', so to speak.

@@FreshlyBakedLePain Thank you! Everything is correct! You recieve the official portuguese Internet seal of approval, use it wisely. As a bonus fact, portuguese is the most spoken language in the southern hemisphere.
@@markleyp03 Actually, they were implying that Alexander Hamilton was a US president (11:30). He wasn't either, but at least that's closer than Thomas Edison.
They managed to get the sickle question correct, but none of them seemed to pick up on the fact that it being named after a god of agriculture made that super obvious.
7:42 Wow, poor Smithy was just shut down XD XD Don't let 'em get to you Smith, it was a good thought process, haha Also wooo! What a comeback from Chris Trott! Even though I was rootin' for Ross, watching Trott just take the lead so quickly was quite satisfying!
Also it doesn't matter which part of Ireland they are talking because in 2014 (and it's still true for the moment) both ROI and UK are in the EU... that is what Brexit is haha
@@Pattoe thats extremely racist. and no, it doesnt belong to the english. it did for many years when ye forced our culture out and made us starve. but in 1916 we lost a war between uk and ireland and said that the uk would rule 6 counties while the rest belong to us. hence when brexit comes into play there will be a wall put up between the north and republic. dumbass
They knew nothing about what seas were part of the Pacific Ocean yet, literally, every sea that's part of the Pacific Ocean is named after the countries and areas near it.
I KNEW someone was gonna choose the Baltic Sea as being in Africa EVEN THOUGH it's a stone's throw from them (if you can throw several thousand kilometres)
Though to be fair, the African Lake Victoria is 460 times larger, and is in the middle of a heavily populated area. The Canadian lake Victoria is literally in the middle of nowhere Newfoundland.

This format is not portraying real trivial knowledge. There is no reason for latter rounds to get you more points, because they are basically 50-50 and very easy. To be honest, Trott did deserve to come last, but thanks to disbalanced point system he got his "prize" for being lucky, not skillful. I know, it's a game, but come on...
Ive been reading chat and i can see some of my fellow irish got slightly confused with the guys and lydia thinking ireland was a trick question. I seen many fights and i want to help keep peace in chat. If u listen carefully u will here why they thought it was a trick question as ross and trott said "some of it" will leave after brexit. They didnt think ireland was uk, they recognise ROI and NI. I hope i helped to clear things up and i hope everyone has a nice day/night/morning 😁
Congratulations Chris 'Common Knowledge' Trott. Some excellent plays!
I’m only halfway through and thumbsed up his thinking it was ironic
@@leavy I knew it was very possible, but only because the last round is bullshit.
And consolidations to Alex "wombat expert" smith for an ok attempt at this game
@@leavy it was a classic comeback
Victoria falls are in Africa as well😂😂
Literally the only one I knew.
For that round I literally thought if in doubt Colonialism, it's probably the English one.
Only know that because of Top Gear lol
@@Pistolsatsean same XD
I think Smith was thinking of visctoria Island, in Canada. Its next to vancouver
I love how Smithy said "I always do good early then..." And then fail the sentence. It's poetic.
You weren't kidding when you said you know nothing about geography! God damn! Victoria is possibly the best known African lake, with Victoria Falls and all.
It is renowned and very well known to be an African name, Victoria.
i think they confused it with Victoria, British Columbia which is right on a boarder of water because smith mentioned Canada
The association with the Nile and all that
Isn't it also the largest lake in Africa?
@@Elzzaw well colonialism will do that
"That's good knowledge, slightly inaccurate but I can appreciate it" - Classic Smithy
"It was like an American president" neither man was ever president
"Its because you're less than half the man I am, Trott" Lydia is the best!
Trott may have won the battle but he hasn't won the war.

Smith's comment about Ben Franklin being an American President is what broke me
I think Trivial Pursuit videos are the best because I can read all the ragey comments afterwards for an added bonus
Thanks Smithy for knowing we speak Portuguese in Brazil!
Lydia is a great addition to the channel, I hope you guys have her around more often
Anyone notice that when smith starts winning he starts talking way more and saying more facts haha
Trott for the win. I was cheering so hard for him to win... lol That was an awesome vid. Thanks guys.
Can we get Bouphe in??
I was so happy for Trott. He was so sullen when he was losing before his big comeback.
Ik they're english but good god...
"Who invented the bifocals?"
"Was it alexander..."
"Hamilton." (Wrong)
"Graham Bell" (lol definitely not)
"It was Ben Franklin"
"Ah, so another American President" (Lmao so wrong on so many levels)
what's being English got to do with anything? I'm English and knew that Franklin invented the glasses and he was a founding father not a president...
I thought Leicester City winning the Premier League was the greatest underdog story of my lifetime, but Chris Trott coming back to win this game of Trivial Pursuit may have just beaten it.
So true! :D
The glass harmonica was also invented by Ben Franklin. It's also a big table top instrument, not the same as the small metal mouth harmonica.
Lake victoria is probably the most famous lake in the world
The Tasman Sea sits between the Pacific, the Indian Ocean, and the Southern Ocean. I know because I'm in it.
...I came to the comments before I watched the video and NO ONE had mentioned Trott chose Portugal as a Spanish speaking country? NO ONE??
As a portuguese, I was also shocked. But we get used to people outside Portugal not knowing anything about Portugal.
I would say all the comments regarding trot’s sudden mental deficiency includes that

@@FreshlyBakedLePain Thank you! Everything is correct! You recieve the official portuguese Internet seal of approval, use it wisely. As a bonus fact, portuguese is the most spoken language in the southern hemisphere.
probably because he immediately corrected himself and pointed out how stupid he was.
No one gonna talk about when Lydia said "to felate" then looked at the camera and rose her eyebrows? At 2:49
I love Ross mentioning Alexander Hamilton XD
At 11:47 Smith calls Ben Franklin an American president. I know they're not American but, come on.
Also they implied that thomas edison was as well in the same sentence. I think they're confusing him for thomas jefferson
Are you trying tell me that not all of the founding fathers were president?
probably at least 25% of americans think Franklin is a president so you can't really fault him that much
@@markleyp03 Actually, they were implying that Alexander Hamilton was a US president (11:30). He wasn't either, but at least that's closer than Thomas Edison.
I mean he was technically President of Pennsylvania. Surely Smith knows his way around 18th century American gubernatorial politics. Right?
This is my favourite HALT films video.
The Lydia hat films squad works v well together :)
I didn’t know Justin Roiland was apart of HatFilms!
fuck he does look like him doesn't he
I love these board game 'ports'. And I also love that you guys are playing them!
I've recently been playing the Master System one because i'm so cool.
They managed to get the sickle question correct, but none of them seemed to pick up on the fact that it being named after a god of agriculture made that super obvious.
Only ross believes a gas is more solid than rock
Ever heard of the famed Smiffy Fart(tm)?
Well we all know the moon is a gas giant
Amazing Trott what an amazing comeback
I’m still laughing at Smiffy saying that Ben Franklin was an American President
People often make that mistake. He was one of the founding fathers, but never a president.
i too enjoy "smith sings half of one line of seven dozen different songs for no reason" pursuit

gonna be honest...started this video going "how hard could this be?' but jesus christ I could smoke these guys...
I wanted to read the comments but it's just a bunch of angry people talking about Ireland, back to the video.
Guys, Ireland isnt north ireland. ireland is the republic, north is uk. If its just Ireland, they mean our own country
Ireland belongs to the English, always has, always will, suck it up, paddy.
Pattoe bit racist
Also it doesn't matter which part of Ireland they are talking because in 2014 (and it's still true for the moment) both ROI and UK are in the EU... that is what Brexit is haha

@@4F0xSake it does, because the republic is staying in the eu. while the north will be gone with brexit. that is why a hard boarder is being put up
"Benjamin Franklin, oh so it was like an American President" Good ol' Ben Frank, classically known for being a US President.
I miss BOT Duncan

Bot Duncan was a no good rotten scumbag! *spits on floor*
His name was AI Duncan. Way to not even care. (I only remember it because I always read it as AL Duncan)
Biggest comeback in history
Complains that a question is too hard when they don't know it, say they are too easy when they do know it.
Lake Victoria, aka the biggest lake in Africa is the one none of them know?
OMG THE ENDING...WOW. THE UPSET OF 2019
Can't wait to se Trott as Spock in season 2 of Star Trek Discovery. What a great role to land, masive congratulations.

Trott with that win outta nowhere!

Peep everyone’s face at 26:43 HAHAHA. Ross has me dead.
I screamed so hard when trott won my parents ran into my room, because they thought something was wrong.
Benjamin Franklin is my favorite American President - Alstiffy
Lake Victoria was the only one I was 100% sure about, surprised no one got it.
Smiffy, Trotty, Rossy & Squidy. The new Hat Films.
Ah yes my favorite president Benjamin Franklin
I like how Smith says he was thinking of Victoria Falls which is still in Africa right next to Victoria lake
Smithy 'Ohh I was thinking of Victoria Falls' when actually thinking of Niagra Falls xD
Victoria Falls are in Africa xD
Just for information Victoria Falls is in Africa. It’s between Zimbabwe and Zambia.
did not see that win coming, nicely done
Just realized Trott randomly makes a weird "I'm trying to fart without shitting my pants" face every so often
TROTT COMEBACK OF THE LIFETIME
To be fair, there's a Lake Victoria in Canada too.
I also eliminated Lake Victoria because it's Canadian :P
Though to be fair, the African Lake Victoria is 460 times larger, and is in the middle of a heavily populated area. The Canadian lake Victoria is literally in the middle of nowhere Newfoundland.
A glass harmonica is not a mouth instrument guys. It's like a series of rotating bowls.
As a Michigander, watching Smiff pick Superior as lake in Africa made me chuckle.
When Smith says Benjamin Franklin is a president and I still think he’s the smartest of the three
Chris Trott best comeback 2019
Värnen lake is in Sweden
"Benjamin Franklin? Well, at least it was an American president." Alex Smith
How was Victoria the last one they picked??????????????
Wait, does ross really don't know that ireland has been an independent country for more than half a century?
"The Tasman Sea is Indian". And the North Sea is in the Southern Ocean, is it, Smith?
You know, every time Lydia is around, it reinforces my theory her and Trott are banging.
Ireland joined the EU (EEC) the same year as the UK.. Ah lads..
the comeback of a lifetime
2:46...to phelate..oh Lydia
