Hot Seat | Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader

[@Exmorted]

I like how Jordan was somewhat in doubt at the question of who was the narrator of treasure island, even after james googled it and jordan was like "can you tell me if this answer is right or wrong?" and then James said "that would be giving you the answer" which means that it was the one jordan had in mind. Because giving the answer to that would be "yes". If it wasn't the one Jordan was considering, then it wouldn't be giving the answer as the answer to jordan's question would be "no" and there still would be three options.

[@LiveGame555]

In my mind it was basically giving away the answer because it obviously wasn't Long John Silver and Blind Pew was a little far fetched, even for a kid's book, so there are two options left.

[@meghan_shew3360]

Yeah but even then the answer seemed pretty blatently obvious anyways....None of those names made any sense but the right answer.

[@Exmorted]

miss meggy True. I didn't know because I've never read it or even heard of it. But hearing James say "that would be giving the answer away" would be enough for me to go with what jordan had chosen

[@annamber]

I mostly just remembered the protagonist from the Disney movie, never really got around to reading the book in its classical glory.

[@meghan_shew3360]

***** Same for me, Treasure planet is my all time favorite Disney movie :)

[@memedeciplealeks8195]

Wow koots you picked the black kid last

[@kayblis]

***** Nice save.

[@memedeciplealeks8195]

***** OK, it all makes sense now :)

[@normalaleks4549]

Racist Koots... Didn't even cheat off him because he's black...

[@LongDistance22]

He picked the asian kid first too

[@ExileOfSand]

Pick the Asian first, then the whites, and finally have no choice but to pick the black. Stereotypes were written all over this video.

[@DeeEll1]

This was one of the most intense episodes yet.

[@TheSweetestPea94]

"That's the catch. You can't just get up and leave school" Jordan... you literally just said you didn't graduate high school.

[@babybabu1213]

Pretty shocked that Koots never graduated! :O

[@xXGramGramXx]

It. Explains. ALOT.

LEAVE YOU MONSTER BABU! I BANISH YOU TO THE UNDERWORLD

[@mrcliff34]

As someone from Washington its astonishing how many people believe Seattle is our state capital

[@MyNeonBubbles]

I think a lot of people from different states are. I'm from California, and I've met people that think LA or SF is our capital.

[@TedFlips]

As someone from Montana is crazy how many people don't know Montana is a state.

[@ThePifflin]

Live across Seattle and it makes me sad

[@MyNeonBubbles]

***** I also thought it was Seattle. I never learned all the state capitals and I thought that since the world fair was in Seattle before that Seattle was the capital.

[@MyNeonBubbles]

Cornelius Hunter That's just sad lol I can tell you where it is on a map it's one of the easiest to find.

Starfish are echinoderms....Sponges are porifera. JORDAN

[@brandonroda7428]

I know someone's said it already, but James' laugh is the cure for cancer.

[@ephmilcent]

Watching Jordan play this and having to actually THINK on a first grade question makes me feel better.

[@garrodlarson792]

I honestly really like what they have going here with Hot Seat. It is really entertaining and I like how they added the little "survived" with his picture and who has won and lost. Makes it more intense in my opinion. PLEASE keep doing this!!!

[@Dertlecup]

The best trio !

[@R4Z3RHD]

That contestant must be a .... muuuuuuuuutaaannnnttt we will call him.... Under/Overbite.

[@CaptainFracture]

I think this joke is long dead.

[@Nat_Peterson]

[@illuminari]

"Fiji is down in the... what's it called.. Caribbean" AHAHAJAHHAH

[@Syntax_Error98]

This made me stress the whole video. Really Jordan, these were really easy.

[@huy211]

Tumbleh Post I really don't understand how Jordan would assume a skillet is a place you cook in...

[@DGTinderbox]

I dunno; the starfish one and the capital one kicked my ass

[@icemanKOL]

It's called Creature entertainment. Act stupid, get 7.7 million a day.

[@DarkTheShinyUmbreon]

DG .Tinderbox Jordan pulled that one out of his ass, Porifera are sponge, starfish are by no means porous, most are hard and have skeletons, starfish are echinoderms.

[@dr58885]

icemanKOL 7.7 million dollars or views? Even pewdiepie hasn't gained 7.7 million dollars. He didn't even reach 2 million dollars.

[@bakatraitless]

Jordan never graduated... explains the excessive amounts of meows excreted per day.

[@NinjaPups]

Please do more GAMESHOWS! This was absolutely incredible XD I'd love to see some Jeopardy and Family Feud!

[@SirForwyn]

This is one of the funniest Creature videos i've seen in a very long time!

[@themadblooddemon3961]

You guys are freaking awesome

[@fuknames2123]

I love how James asks "You know what a noun is right?" had me in tears.

[@Mosselmaan]

Not a good week for Jordan in case of spelling.. To me, he always seems like the smartest guy out of these guys, not sure if that's saying much. Maybe it's just psychological, hes tall, looks good and is considered as the founder of their group.

[@MegaEpicturtles]

He may have dropped out, but that has no bearing on his intelligence.

[@traplover6357]

he got it right, ok. that's what counts

[@LiveGame555]

I don't think any of them are really smarter than any others, besides I've always thought Jordan was the dumbest in everything besides mechanics and stuff like that.

[@PolyphonicDevice]

Steven might be the smartest, in my opinion.

[@WolframKKM]

I've always thought Seamus seemed the most intelligent because his sense of humour is clever and makes reference to more academic knowledge.

[@Mncrftpkmn]

The guys need to do this again, it's hilarious to watch them play trivia.

[@zosfero]

It's funny that Aleks from Russian knows more about Americas states than Jordan xD

[@KraemerKnight]

He actually said in a video of his that he loved America and everything it stands for, so it makes sense.

[@zosfero]

makes "since" Nice spelling bro.

[@KraemerKnight]

Well excuse me princess!

[@zosfero]

:D

[@WhatAccrualWorld]

o Forvertex Matthew used the right one. In that text he needed to use 'sense', not 'since'.

[@NightSwipe17]

Back to back 30+ minute videos on the Hub? Hell yes. Love the content guys, keep it up! :D

[@Unyubaby]

People who are saying schools are useless because Jordan did well here need to stay in one. Jordan dropped out of high school. 5th grade is not high school.

[@KillerRainbowTurtle]

Today in R.E, we were learning about Maslow's Hierarchy of needs so I was so frantic when Jordan was spelling Hierarchy

[@JamesTheManiac]

God damn, it sounds like James is wheezing to death when he laughs really hard.

[@Jaru]

They need to play Fibbage that game would be perfect since they have so many people at the office nowadays

[@drasisb]

Kids, please. Just because Jordan didn't graduate doesn't mean that you're going to have the same luck he did with his KZbin career. Have something to fall back on at least.

[@katzinhatz1]

Aye!! This was one the games I requested u guys to play. Thank you, even if this was recorded b4 I mentioned it

[@CLUTCHxPixeL]

Just goes to show that school is pointless, real knowledge doesn't come from sitting in a desk and writing down notes from a board onto paper. Real knowledge comes from learning about things that actually matter in the world, actually going out into the world and learning about it and whats necessary to live in it.

[@montyuchiha117]

You still have to learn certain things in the world... Like knowing the definition of certain words without using google... The only tume i think school would be useless is my freshman and sophmore year in highschool

[@titledprince]

That's something an 8th grader -10th grader would say. When u get older, you will start to notice how much those things matter

[@GeneralSteelflex]

BasedGod Montymont What's wrong with using Google to look up something you don't know? I never understood people who consider someone stupid just because they don't have every single thing memorized. We have inovations like Google and the whole of the Internet, why not make use of it? As Einstein said “Never memorize something that you can look up.” What's the point in forcing yourself to memorize something instead of looking it up, what's the point of memorizing long equations when you could just use a calculator? To make yourself look superior to everyone else? That's the only reason I could think of. Besides, the human mind is faulty. Is it not better to look something up and be absolutely sure, or trust your memory which could very well be wrong?

[@JohnSmith-te4ll]

Hey! If it wasn't for school I wouldn't know the most important fact in the world: that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

[@sacredarts3342]

John Smith Yeah! And that knowledge is gonna take us places!

[@ariad1326]

this is by far my favorite hot seat episode.

[@OmfgItsWOWZERZ]

Would've been awkward if any of the kids' names were Monica, Max, or Eddie

[@LUDAQUENDERO64]

Jordan never graduated high school yet he has a "company" and works doing what he loves. Good fucking job Koots, I truly admire you.

[@Olacarn]

Thank god for twitter. Got here before it updated my Sub Box.

[@stevennealsantos]

After watching this video, I feel inspired now to drop out of high school and plan to be a famous youtuber. Thanks creatures, you're always there when I need guidance.

[@EmmaFunsize]

Also, there are many famous people who are financially and intellectually successful but didn't finish high school

[@huy211]

Compared to the millions of people who dropped out of Highschool, the chances of actually becoming successful, I'm assuming, is pretty goddamn slim.

[@thomascooper7219]

What sucks is that a lot of people with degrees don't usually take jobs that require them :/ sometimes

[@WhoIsIanMcGovern]

Yeah those famous people are typically ignorant and dumb as shit. The best actors spent time in acting school, alot of singers at least have a high school degree and athletes have to go to college to get a chance to go pro at least for football and badketball.

[@CGOffical]

Albert Einstein never dropped out of highschool. HE DROPPED OUT OF COLLEGE

[@brianwaylon7100]

[@Kolroling]

You guys should do "HOT SEAT | IMPOSSIBLE QUIZ"

That first question isn't even right, there are 4 nouns in that sentence. "Valentine's day" is an adjective in this context.

[@brycec2714]

listen to Jeff Foxworthy's voice, does he sound like a man of proper English?

[@MrGnoonan]

[@Bearorgan]

"Hierarchy"

[@raymond27160]

"What even is the industrial revolution?" " just the mills and shit" 10/10

[@IAmAnAdmin]

As much as I commend Jordan for being successful after dropping out of highschool, I hope he isn't sending the wrong message to kids, while people can be successful out of their own wit, the percentages of people dropping out of high school and ending up successful is incredibly thin, like substantially

Jordan may not be academically smart... but he is smart when it comes to computer tech through life experience... That counts for something to say the least!

[@shaqpac51]

every now and then they should ask jordan to spell hierarchy.

[@WhyUbrown]

Fiji is in the Caribbean?! Jesus Christ Jordan...

[@normgod7031]

Im pretty sure in grade 4 we never talked about the industrial revolution...

[@Kato.Zumi.J]

Glad that Jordan has succeeded with KZbin, because I never would have guessed that he didn't finish high school.

[@oposdeo]

Oh my god this game pulled the "lol Seattle isn't the capital of Washington" trick. What a dick move. I live there so I knew it, but that is like, the ultimate trick question.

[@scoobydooped5471]

I think the ultimate trick question is asking your kid who their parents are, and then telling them they're adopted.

[@Gokanaru]

11:10 Ah... I'm Canadian... have never been to the States... and I knew Seattle wasn't a state capital...

[@falloutnewvegas12]

17:33 That's not 4th grade. That is AP Euro shit right there.

[@bensrants6772]

I think Jordan's character would make a series of grunting sounds and that's how he communicates

[@Chaosfly10]

With 1,000,000$ Jordan can fix his characters face!

Is hierarchy suppose to be hard to spell? It's literally spelt how it sounds.

It was a tossup between heirarchy and hierarchy for me.

[@aamjbp]

***** i before e except after c bro

[@TheBananaThug]

***** Yeah except that rule is bullshit and hardly ever works.

[@WruceBayne]

***** That's really true, but that's what I always do to remember how to spell hierarchy, because it's one of the words it actually works for. :3

[@samanthalee137]

being in honors classes, the million dollar question was killing me slowly

[@naputidarrian]

Despite the various levels of education, I don't believe this game was created to make people feel dumb. Jordan, especially, is an intelligent man who runs a successful business. The game really shows the triviality of the school system or education in the US at large. It seems like a good way to poke fun of people who can't answer "simple" 5th grade and below questions. No, it's a game show. It's a fun premise and challenges the contestant to recount things that don't matter to the average adult. Granted most game shows are like this but Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader has a undertone to be taken. Why can't grown adults remember elementary school? Has the system improved or was it inefficient to their education? Or, has the school system focused on material not germane to adult life? Well. That's for y'all to decide. I've said my peace. Good on you Koots, this is actually your more intelligent light. We get to see how that brain works under the red hat.

[@Bignic2008]

I think this show / game demonstrates that if you don't use knowledge, you'll lose it. And "using" it doesn't have to mean that you use something to live your daily life. For some people, knowledge is a goal on its own. For others, they couldn't care less about knowledge that doesn't relate to their lives. I think most people fall somewhere in the middle, where we like learning about certain topics and don't care about others. How many of us KZbin nerds could name 7 Creatures off the tops of our heads? How many NBA fans can name the finals winners over the last 5 years? How many music lovers can name all Beatles albums? All of that knowledge is useless - you'll never need any of it to live a happy adult life in the USA. But people consume the knowledge because they enjoy it. People like to say that schools should teach more things that will help them in daily life, but there are finitely many hours in a student's public school career. We have to pick and choose what to teach, and there are other places to learn about essential life skills. Students can learn about cooking and calculating taxes and other "life" skills from their parents and other non-teachers. The role of math and science and English teachers is to teach academic skills, because most people don't have the ability to pass that on to kids. That's my two cents. Schools and teachers have a specific role in society and it cannot be everything.

[@Cornberry]

The kitchen question took unnecessarily long to answer but I guess that was just Jordan playing around
