Brits Try To Label A Map Of The US 

Mexico is part of the american continent😂

@@lulilo2551 True.

Katerina Aetherel lol

Lau Lo it’s part of North America AMERICA is both of the continent

Even though I see what you mean, it still could be next to it, even though they aren't part of the same country, it doesn't have to be the same country to be next to each other

No americans have no idea

Yeah, plz. I remember the Ukraine controversy. Americans thought it was somewhere around Canada. American's have no idea where shit is.

Zero Well Alaska is near Canada. That’s why on the map they put it in a box below USA because it doesn’t properly connect with the rest of USA. Edit: Wait sorry you’re on about Ukraine I thought you were on about Alaska. Yeah Ukraine is definitely not in Canada, it is in Europe. I’m a Brit though not an American so me knowing where Ukraine is is irrelevant. Just wanted to say sorry for getting at you when you were on about something else lol

@@pumpkingamebox Why would Americans need to know where Ukraine is? Most videos i've seen even British people dont know where Ukraine is.

@@azulaquaza4916 It's just a google search away, or just say you don't know. I for one know the general location of all the countries. (And I came to this knowledge definitely NOT by watching Yokko's world 20 times a day looking at different Covid-19 versions. lol)

I can potentially tell you were London is. Maybe. If I'm lucky 🙃

UK would win. The American school system tells us our states plus capitals, and it tells us some other countries’ capitals, and other countries’ placements sometimes, but with one specific country like the UK, we don’t go in depth. Also, there isn’t a chance of Americans doing the work on their own since we already hate our schools, so we don’t like learning other things because it reminds us of our grade-oriented learning structures.

@@jayjaygaming8625 True! My school teaches nothing about geography from outside the US and when they do it’s super bias, if that makes sense.

I would love pick counties in the UK. I think I would do well

Depends on what you’re wanting? If it’s cities, I could name about 3. But if it’s regions, I could likely do more than 2/3rds of them

Hmmm....

Yeah that confused them. Otherwise they would have easily gotten Alaska I think.

Most United States maps have Hawaii and Alaska in the bottom-left corner. It's not geographically incorrect considering they're separated by huge lines from the continental US. Considering just how far away Hawaii is, they'd have a much smaller area to write all the names in.

Drag them, then, Sis! Ms. Karina said, “well damn, y’all could have given them a fighting chance!” 😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I agree, they should have made the mainland US be really tiny at the far right side of the map, and had Hawaii be nearly invisible at the bottom-left corner.

Eric Borja which is weird cause it doesn’t exist

I’m American and I didn’t even know where Wyoming was and these people that labeled like 80% of the map incorrectly somehow knew it. Crazy

Well it does have one of the most famous national parks (including an active super volcano that could end the world)

@@jacobhargiss3839 Yeah it's funny seing what they named right away. Wyoming for Yellowstone. Nevada for Las Vegas.California, Texas, and Florida. Then like New Mexico? Presumably Breaking Bad?

@@BrianKervick I hadnt thought about new mexico.

To be frank, the two states appearing out of place and with different scale is confusing.

When they were trying to label Alaska I was like seriously!

I was so mad i was like “easy two, come on! Hawaii is multiple islands and alaska is big!”

Booty Tickler Birmingham is alabama

Daphne Johnson same

most americans don't know where new mexico is... always the comments with changing dollars into pesos lol

​@@dualkelly Until recently they had to have New Mexico USA on their license plates, or people even cops thought the car was from Mexico. I'm not sure if people have caught on, or if they just gave up trying to educate people about it.

also, there is both portland maine and portland oregon. the girl wasn't wrong 😂

ok

Washington state: Why do we have to say state after our name all the time? 😭

dutchkel it’s because they were going to name Washington, Columbia but they didn’t want to have it be confused with District of Columbia but they kinda messed up.

@@bradyb837 ironic

Ok that’s impressive. I know every European country but capitals I’m like 95% on. Just a few odd balls like north macedonia that ruin my perfect score.

⁠skopje!! Tirana always messes me up, or any Balkan countries for that matter

Granted UK geography isn't hard not saying everyone should do it

Try labelling a map of Europe for a more similar experience. It has that same "I probably should know that" feeling about it

@@TorreFernand Naming Europe should be easier for them as they r countries and should have learnt that in school.

Honest question: Why is Wyoming so famous in the UK?

@@loved012one yeah, to me it was just another state, but ig its the only rectangle

And New Mexico for some reason

i'm from California and lived in the UK, how on earth do all these brits know wyoming?? even americans have trouble placing wyoming!

I always used to mix up Wyoming and Colorado and I’m American

ikr like wyoming doesnt even exist?? lmaooo??

I am european and I know where Wyoming is, because ming sounds chinese and it's just a funny word, so I always remember it. I can read that a lot of you think people remember things after where sights are, but I don't. I can't tell you which state mount rushmore is in... I remember states by how easy the word is to remember. Let me just add that I can name and place all states on a map, so I'm not totally lost. Like..... What's with the guy mentioning Russia? And seriously... Everybody knows where Alaska is....

Because of the memes, here i said it

It has a funny name and it's a perfect rectangular, that's why i learnt it tbh lol

It went ⬛️

Europeans traveled through the Atlantic to the Americas and later through the pacific to extract gold and silver. At the beginning there was greater colonization on the east of the continent hence the greater amount of states and name of the country.

Lol same

@Rose Anne Boushard i get what u mean and there's nothing wrong with using those descriptions but it felt more right for me lol (just coz i know that i wouldn't want any one describing that way).

Günther Jauch what’s wrong with being described as a black girl...if someone’s a black girl? as if being called black (which is what she is and she’s probably proud??) is negative? I don’t know if you’re just ignorant or you realise what you’re actually saying. This is the same as saying ‘I don’t see skin colour’ as if accepting and ‘seeing’ someone’s skin colour is bad lmao

Rose Anne Boushard I think it’s because she described the guy by his hair so it made sense to her to do the same when describing the girl

The guy with black hair with glasses and the girl with black hair were terrible

@@naz9741 wait wtf your going way off here. Like Ana Mery wrote i was literally just talking about the guys hair so why dont do the same with her? Writing that he is white and shes black/mixed simply didn't cross my mind bcs I thought it was unnecessary..

Maybe 13 would be better?

I would colonize the clusterfuck that is the Northeast part of the USA. They literally have to put arrows to label them

At least most states east of the Mississippi have very unique shapes. Honestly the midwest just looks like a bunch of rectangles. Coming from someone who lives in the northeast.

@@Grywng I agree. Not just Midwest, most of the western states have at least one straight border.

@@Grywng the midwestern states dont look like rectangles, the western states do look like rectangles like every state west of the Mississippi river look like rectangles while every state east of the Mississippi river have unique shapes

Maybe that was what the whole “North fought the South” was about! We realized we had all the directions names turned around and had to shuffle the states (and a few territories, god, we almost lost the Dakotas during that maneuver) around.

Speaking of north and south and the dakotas, north dakota technically wasnt a state until 2008 because to be a state you have the full constitution in your state laws or whatever and north dakota was missing a sentence somewhere in there. So like I said they technically weren't a state until they fixed it in 2008

@@varisalcido5749 I don't think you understand what I'm saying. To the other dude, thank you for clarifying. That being said, it still doesn't really make sense. There's a lot of oddities like that in the world, example being lower Saxony and upper Saxony in Germany: Where they're in places opposite to what they're named. Having something weird like that be the case with North and South Dakota might've just been something that slipped into the dude's mind at some point.

the thing is in America they normally ( from what i have heard ) really only learn about America and where everything is there. Because i think the reason is that people think you not as close to Europe, while is the UK we learn about the whole world but not really America. But i hate geography so i’m not that good at pointing out places edit: hopefully that makes sense

@@sacha352 hi I’m American and we are taught world geography. Especially European geography. However it’s hard to keep them all straight when your own country has so many places to remember.

@@sacha352 I’m American. We have World Geography but we really only learned where the countries are on a map. We never really learned about the individual cities, towns, and counties of those countries. So I can point out England on a map but I couldn’t point out London. It’s embarrassing lol

@@sacha352 also responding as an American because I think the comparison across experiences is super interesting (so much variation in education standards). We studied world geography and learned all countries, capitols, major landmarks, etc. However, our schools spent very little time teaching internal American geography under the assumption that we probably already knew it well enough to pass tests. And generally they were correct, I think inter-state geography is very intuitive to a lot of Americans because of how easy and frequent travel between states is. However, I feel that labeling regions within a country/state like the UK isn't necessarily the best comparison to how well we are taught global concepts given the level of detail involved in memorizing territories for every nation. I think maybe a better comparison might be that we spent a bit of time memorizing Canadian providences and Mexican States but never Chinese provinces or Indian states, emphasizing the tendency of curriculums to stress focus on learning regions closer to the US. It's unfortunate, but also practical I suppose.

I only know four bits of geography about the United States. The West is full of hipsters, the South is full of racists, the East is EYYYYY I'M WALKING HERE and the rest doesn't exist.

David Leblanc - That's the elephant in the room... How would Americans do?

Thomas Moll specifically kids vs adults

Idk I can name all states and every country in Europe but I'm not sure how an average American would do

@Giancarlos Benitez I thought you were a friend I have in real life for a second😂 different last name but same starting letter

True! I bet they cant name a single municipality in UK, not even find scotland or wales on the map. :)

I learned from this video that apparently I actually do know where almost every state is. Just not all the tiny ones on the east coast. Watching the one pair arguing about alaska was hilarious though.

As an American I do know every state, but it’s alot different than cities. States are almost like their own countries depending on their laws and we’re taught about them growing up.

Rhode Island and Providence Plantations originally so the land that isn't an island would be the "providence plantations" part. They're taking that part out of the name because of the association with slavery now though.

Kermit The Frog Portland Oregon is a larger city and second biggest city in the Pacific Northwest (United States)..after Seattle. It got its name from Portland, Maine which is a much smaller city located on the east coast of the United States.

Steven Harrison does that mean Portland Maine doesn’t exist? They said Portland is in Oregon and the video said they were wrong, which they weren’t.

To be fair theres a Portland in like every coastal state. Even here in Texas. But when you hear Portland you generally think Oregon.

sad but true

There are reasons for that

If I weren't American, I'd probably have picked Delaware as Rhode Island (even though it's a peninsula).

Especially considering they are journalists.

I'm Austrian (not Australian) and we only learned the number of states and how giant the United States is and how many people live there. We didn't learn their names, their location. We didn't even learn about major historicic events in the United States like the American Revolution, the Civil War, or the Civil Rights Movement (important things) or things in this millennium ( 9/11 or the demonstrations in Charlottesville). Our school system just doesn't bother to learn about the U.S. because it isn't that important to us, I guess. (But we stuck with Nazis for over four months.)
