Cubing Doggo wdya how? Anyone can be insecure o.O

[@memyselfandtau4712]

Oi it is true that anyone can be insecure, that’s just simple probability. I don’t think he’s insecure, though, just shy. I don’t think he has anything to be insecure about.

[@Issa.mp3]

Cubing Doggo people usually are insecure about things you normally wouldn’t think about so idk. It could be something he only thinks people will judge him for even though no one actually cares or notices. In the end even if you say he’s not insecure, being shy is still connected to insecurity. In a way

[@swaroopvalluri4760]

That's coz he is used to figuring out his mom and dad's english which would be similar to Guillermos.

[@kajlik]

Because India and Mexico are so similar in speech? Lol get educated.

[@MisterGuitarItalia]

No -- fuckface -- but simply because he understands different cultures pronounce sounds differently... unlike you, a basic moron, who overcompensates his insecurities by acting brashly online while slaughtering our language. "Similar in speech"... what a gem!

[@user-btszi7et]

silem Bochum it isn't the same, in scrabble, you don't need to understand the pronunciation, just the order of words. Many terms also aren't even on the dictionary (the ones that they have to spell at finals for example)

Can you use it in a sentence: “GUILLERMO JUST SAID THE WORD GNOME” Lmao im so dead 😂

[@ngyufeng6205]

3:26 He actually wasn't wrong. If you turn on the captions and look at it, you will find that he actually spelled the word 'huarache'. The mascot guy, "Guillermo",mentioned that the word he said was of Mexican origin and the word 'huarache' is of Mexican origin. His pronunciation of the word also mimics the pronunciation of the word 'huarache'. So it is logical to think that the word is indeed 'huarache'. I do know this was meant as a joke and that the mascot person was deliberately mispronouncing the words for comical purposes, but I do want to point out that the 14-year-old speller was not intentionally spelling the word incorrect. I have noticed that the speller also displayed some problem-solving skills as after he and Jimmy Kimmel spelled the words they were asked to spell wrongly, the speller found out that Guillermo was deliberately mispronouncing the words. He didn't just purely memorized words after words mindlessly. He also displayed a level of intelligence indemonstrable by just remembering the spellings of difficult words. Overall, that speller was a good sport and he really deserved the trophy at the end.

Everyone. I was Speller 519 at the Bee this year. Y’all are being so mean to Karthik. He is a nice person and a really good speller. It doesn’t matter what his ethnicity is or how he appears on camera. How would you feel being on camera for a 10 hour day? You’re spelling words most people have never even thought they would hear! The Bee isn’t just memorization. You learn roots, vocabulary, rules of different languages! You make new friends and you stay in touch after the bee. The next time you make a comment, realize that there is a real person on the screen. That person might read your comment. How would you feel?

When the word was Porpoise I thought he was trying to say purpose. I was so disappointed when I found out it wasn't, and more impressed when the kid got it right.

[@georgefloyd6113]

That voice crack at 7:26 though

[@ljcee6919]

This kid is precious! He reminds me of my little brother! ❤️

Karoon Oof I don’t believe t

[@mari2099.]

Yeah cause their dads beat them if they lose.

[@ashcrimson3199]

Sad. But that's actually true. Even though the person above said it in a way like he was trolling.

[@xanlysphynx8839]

I love how kimmell treats the kids a true gentleman and man

[@swayambadhe]

7:00 he shook hands...then again slid his hands inside the pocket......took the trophy.....again immediately hands in pocket

[@162-atharvapatil5]

Dude that poor kid got so uncomfortable lol

[@armandocasielguerreromonsa8988]

He won an xbox one so... i think he'll be fine

[@PeachPlastic]

@@armandocasielguerreromonsa8988 As if he'll get to use it. 😂

[@aliAlyacoub]

I was uncomfortable from the beginning. He was awkward.

[@poonamthakur8443]

" Learn to speak English, you little g..nome" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ajmagoo4379]

He probably sold the Xbox for books. 😂😂😂

[@hrishikeshhasabnis8111]

@Bob Oznek Wtf?

[@heymonalisacani6795]

These racist jokes are getting so old. He seems like a sweet kid, and smart as hell

[@nevermind8064]

HeyMonaLisaCanI 67 it’s tiring as an indian american teen that this happens every year every time indian americans have studied hard and won. you’d think people have the decency to understand he’s only 14 but seems people lack that as well.

[@brodyquigley8902]

He goes to my school and he is really nice

[@dark3rthanshadows]

not racist...dude we all know Guilhermo speaks well...yeah he got accent but we know he was doing in purpose ...

[@evs251]

Racist towards mexicans or what? There are no racist jokes here gtfo

[@Stupid33]

HeyMonaLisaCanI 67 Indian isn’t a race

[@gautamgautamsuresh1218]

His hands are glued to his pocket

[@partybot5394]

[@user-hy5vf4zx7s]

In the beginning he shook jimmys hand soooo

[@casualpotato44]

Poor kid. Can't he just cut pocket from his pants?

[@cuteashish16]

Prolly nervousness.

[@notwelcome2452]

gautam gautamsuresh he is probably timid.

[@aarone8740]

It's so funny; I don't know any of these kids but I feel so proud of them! Would be interesting to see what they do when they are adults!

[@mackenzieking3405]

The runner up of it went to my school and she was devastated

Guillermo, Guillermo...you are so adorkable!!!!!!!

[@bug9756]

[@Rose-br3rk]

He’s soooooooo cute! I wish him nothing but mad love ❤️

[@HumanSagaVault]

He is super shy, what a cutie

[@angelkathrynvillegaz8409]

The last word is chaos. Because when I was a child I read that as chaws hahahahaha same pronunciation with Guillermo hahahahaha

[@nazykeen5544]

He did not look very impressed with that x-box lol at all

[@MisterCovek]

He just won 40 000 dollars. He probably already has one.

[@uttankjha8888]

Queen he must be a playstation guy

[@Frenchyteyriki]

Queen he generally doesn't seem too excited about anything 😂..cool kid

[@nahor88]

Queen Because he knows his parents won't let him play it, if his parents are anything like the average Indian parent.

[@iamidex7943]

nahor88 i was thinking of that

[@sagarpatro2790]

Those who speak less ,their talent speaks for them...don't be ashamed of your success,a few people know the taste..

Wait - *I'M* from McKinney, Texas. Never thought I'd hear my town's name on Jimmy Kimmel.

[@StevenSenjaya]

I think this should be a weekly series or something. Too damn funny

[@sevvalkursun16]

I didn't get how you guys think that his origins matter. He was not born in some other country, taught English there and brought here for the Spelling Bee. He was born in USA so his first language is English. That's it.

[@snehameyyappan137]

I don't think his first language is English. :)

[@sevvalkursun16]

Sneha Meyyappan Why is that?

[@imperialblue6140]

And your first language is turkish

[@sevvalkursun16]

Vinay Veer JaTaV and?

[@ashcrimson3199]

Its the way he talks actually that gives out that he is Indian-born. His body language and reactions to what was going on also give out a little. For example when was receiving the Xbox , he wasn't so ecstatic nor did he change a shade. That kind of thing is a common thing that we Indians do when we are nervous and stuff.Also , that kind of shyness and awkwardness is present only when u have moved from India. American born and raised Indians look a little more confident or rebellious sometimes. Cos they get the white people mannerisms when they are interacting. Camera shy is almost an exclusively Indian thing unlike white people who seem like they are born to stand in front of a camera.

[@RohitKumar-gd8vu]

40,000 dollars? In India, the prize for such competition would be two notebooks lool

[@fazeimmigrant5986]

Lol Guillermo when he spells the words is me when I was 3 years old 😊

[@dogwhat5842]

Awww I love this kid

[@sarahansari4720]

Maybe he's a bit nervous! Not maybe, He IS. Comeon he's only 14 and probably the few 14 years who still look like a 14 year not 24.

[@delightk]

There is a wide spectrum of Indians, those who say "open cloth show bob" and those who continually win the spelling bee by beating you at your own language.

[@goaling6643]

delight eminem omg that is so true😂

[@himadevaraj7760]

delight eminem Sooooo true

[@valve_highlights9072]

delight eminem and the hateful nationalists, can’t forget them.

[@PotatoMC1]

There tends to be more of the "open cloth show bob" though, to be fair.

[@rahulranjan4615]

PotatoMC Because you stay over such sites only..and tbh I have seen an equal number of whites doing the same😂

[@padmakayana]

did anyone notice jimmys voice crack when he said "congratulations" in the end 😂

[@princianorvz]

Laughing out loud, rolling on the floor, when Guillermo pronounces a common difficult word to spell in a different way! XD 😂😅😆😹🤣😸🤭

[@coldclearblue6350]

I always watch out for this segment every year. And like the NBA with the same teams making it to the finals. Indians always win this...

[@ultimateawseome]

So if this was a white kid up there the comments would be completely different. It's honestly upsetting how judgemental and racist people can be.

[@trabbexx-3482]

True

[@ravishetty7008]

True

[@maitrikovuru6583]

So true and i wish it wasnt

[@ultimateawseome]

@Neooooo0 Yea? Do some digging. Your privileged white ass shouldn't be the one to talk about racism.
