Harry Potter and the Goblet of Witches: Chapter 1 "As Harry, Mo Mo Mo Mo the athlete, and Noddy from The Beatles saw the Pelican (an Australian flightless bird) they were amazed. They had never seen it before, as they spent too much time playing Rugby with 11 on each side, all facing North, which as they all knew, was directly across from East. They carefully stepped on to the water, made up of Hydrogen and Acid. It reminded them about a book about a boy who was stuck in a boat with a tiger, "Lost at Sea" it was called.
To be fair - not everyone is taught how many players take part in certain sports at school. However - not knowing the chemical formula for Water and what's opposite to East is very concerning.
Radio 1 are a post post 9 11 generation and you expect them to know who the Beatles are? i know 19 year olds that have never heard of the Artic Monkeys or Foo fighters or Oasis
Solidus it’s just too easy for the talentless to gain high positions these days, the Apple has fallen far far from the tree. We used to have talents like Terry Wogan
@@horationelson298 why should only talented people be allowed to be famous? Radio DJs for instance don't need to be talented. A Radio DJ is likely a Radio DJ because they love music but didn't have the talent to make it so they use their love of music in a different way. They talk about it and play it and become famous themselves for their passion.
It never ceases to amaze me that celebrities get to their dizzy heights of fame and fortune without knowing ANYTHING! It surprises me that any of them can get dressed every morning.
@@lickmygooch1013 There's his 15 minutes of fame used up. Obscurity beckons. If there's one grade of 'celeb' that is worse than any other, it's reality tv stars. Jemma Collins, Joey Essex, etc. Absolute intelligence vacuums. Shows like this always have to have one.
@Alessandro Nesta Do you really need a saying to remember the directions on a compass? That's a technique useful with children, adults should just know.
I was fucking crying with laughter when she said Noddy. Just imagining the camera panning across all the Beatles in concert, looking slick as usual, and then you see fucking Noddy having a blast on the drums. What the actual fuck was that answer hahaha
@Meadow Pinkelle It is concerning, you should know the basics of music and the Beatles are literaly the basics of modern music. There would be moments when you hope to interview one of the survivng members of the Beatles as a presenter, they are some of the biggest names possible to interview, not to mention their prevalence in radio history, they will be brought up casually by those working around you and you should kno who they are talking about. Although in her defense, Noddy is a rock n roll name which might predate th cartoon, there is more to the name Noddy than just the one thing the OP associates it with.
@Meadow Pinkelle It really is a bad answer. I'm 6 months younger than maya jama, I don't really like the beatles, and as soon as I heard 'the beatles' and 'drummer' I knew it was Ringo starr.... she also works in radio.
I sometimes wonder if some of them act stupid on purpose for a bit of a laugh, they get paid to be there and the charity still get something at the end of it so it doesn’t really matter
sHe got some stinkers wrong as well, Rosemary was awful but I know from my dad who was an excellent quizzer remembering things isn't easy at times under pressure and she is pretty clever
It's what she'd taken before the show I'd bet. Worse than that, she's supposedly in the music industry & didn't know one of the members of the biggest band of all time
@@blackporscheroadster6415 she got the job because she's attractive, it's tgat simple. There are tonns of attractive white people in the British media that are just as dumb. Ever heard of Katie price??
Master Yoda would've got them all right. Anakin was giving a temper tantrum at how badly these celebs answered the questions. The word 'acid' gave Anakin PTSD.
I'm forced to watch a lot of "celebrity" quiz shows, and I'm convinced that they are told to act stupid for good telly. There's no way people are that dumb..
@Meadow Pinkelle Not true. Unfortunately UK tv has a habit of making stupid people famous. They dumb down a lot as the general public seem to enjoy the trash tv
@Meadow Pinkelle That's called being dumb. If you're an adult and you don't know what elements water is made from or what the directions on a compass are, you're dumb.
If i was ANY of them i would be so embarrassed - i would forever slip away, into my private life, never to be seen again on TV . . . and read a book a week & re-watch nothing but documentaries from here on
Society disproportionately rewards entertainment/showbiz people, because it was originally dominated by the elite who paid themselves well. Now a few 'normal;' people are in it via reality TV, they are getting paid far too much for zero talent.
OK smartass. Nobody cares what the formula of water is. That's not their job. They know what they need to know in order to achieve the success they have. To become famous, you either are born in a famous/very rich family, or you work harder than everyone else in your field.
@@007Fusiion Stop making excuses for there level of not being involved in culture. Robin Hood is the most known figure in British history behind probably King Arthur. I am sure if somebody in Africa or Asia was asked some of those questions they would know the answers without even living in the culture.
To be fair I didn't know the rugby one either. The father's day one would have been 50/50 for me because I've lived in mainland Europe for years and it is a different date to Britain. Also the radar one I didn't understand at first as I never knew radar was an acronym.
You'd have to be a pedagogue to insist on writing it as RADAR all the time. Rarely you may come across that, though it seemed to fall out of fashion a long, long time ago.
She says it's an acronym and tells the contestant all the words that make it up. You could literally just spell out the acronym from the question itself 😅
@@AkTheArne "Radio detection and ranging". I can imagine a lot of people (especially in the heat of the moment while being filmed) getting confused because there is no first A.
AHAHA! I was just on the Weakest link episode 13 of the new season with Jane Lynch on NBC. Im Ashley. I knew ALL these answers in this RU-vid video lol! Wish they gave me these questions I made myself look like a total dummy on the show. I was insanely nervous!
Rylan's not a fool, he's switched on. Wouldn't be surprised if they fix the question order in these celebrity specials to give the idiots the easy questions.
That Maya woman is the perfect poster woman to exemplify the times we are living in. Superficial looks over substance rules in our vacuous society. Never under-estimate how thick some people are.
What I find interesting is that these celebs are just normal people with average IQs, but we live in a highly scientific and technological world and now celebs think they can spout utter rubbish on medical issues they have no comprehension of. The saddest thing is that other people give credence to their nonsense. I'm all for sceptical and critical analysis of all thins - but what some of these idiots are saying dangerous.
@@JuanShanzerelli Trump is a high IQ individual who graduated from Wharton in Economic and turned $2 million into a billion dollar empire. The fact you were so confident in naming him in terms of intelligence and people is proof of what others have pointed out in the comments.
The fact that she didn't say oxygen in response to the water question was already bad enough. Then she says acid as if that's an element?!?! Also, how in the world do people not know that west is opposite to east.
I think he knew that. We're giving these people a shitload of crap here, but they were under pretty extreme pressure. I could honestly imagine myself not listening to the question properly, and instinctively guess she said south. Yea, some of the questions were pretty damn embarrassing, but I do feel like we're overreacting here.
I swear that even if the question was "J.K. Rowling was the writer of the Harry Potter series, what was the name of the writer of the Harry Potter series?". They would answer: "I don't know, I never saw the movies, I remember being about some people in a spaceship, ah... George R.R. Martin!?".
This is cut to avoid the CORRECTLY given answers but my god it does illustrate how thick many 'famous' people are now. I had no idea who any of them were, so maybe I am the thick one?
