The Chaser Americans show their stupidity in regards to 9/11

The Chasers Chales Firth Interviews the Americans to ask them when September 11 terrorist occured. Quite appling that some of these people don't remember.

[@freakystyley4000]

Why is it that ME being an Aussie, who was born and bred in Newcastle, NSW, who watched the 11/09/2001 attacks live on Fox is able to CORRECTLY answer ALL of the chasers questions without a pause? And yet, people in Times Square (YES I can even recognise places foreign to me!) CAN"T?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!

[@MsJubjubbird]

the lady who said pennsylvania is a city must have a different atlas to me

[@bornguitarhero95]

It was on a school day, in Grade 1, I was 6 years old, in Brisbane, Australia... I can remember it clearly... And New Yorkers can't remember the date of the World Trade Center falling down? Ffs.

[@1337Divine]

Whats that America? I can't hear you over Australia's FREE HEALTH CARE.

[@luzo0o0]

@applefrog111 America freedom, lol. I live in America and I know better then to claim we are a free country. Those days are quickly heading behind us.

[@Snowdemoman]

I was six years old, I live in Denmark, and I know every detail of the attacks. America... Really? It's like I'm watching a japanese commercial, only I can't find the none-serious part. (as in a woman giving birth to a horse, or a guy turning into a banana.)

[@sonnyboi83]

the dumber the public..the easier to control them.

[@TheKing2494]

9/11...September 1st hahahahahaha

[@psycopyro001]

Holy shit i'm 15 and i can still remember 9/11, it was all over the news, and i don't even live in America. that's pretty shameful that they don't know when terrorists attacked their own country.

[@vinnycwalsh]

That doesn't take away the fact the those people didn't know what day and year it was, when it was stated in the question.

[@Megaman624705]

its called 9/11 for a reason

[@644delsol]

It's the drugs in the water, and the pot... Shameful.

[@Speegs23]

They certainly don't live vicariously through other nationalities that's for certain.

[@TiredCapybara]

I am ashamed of being an american. I was fucking three when it happened.

[@Jaxmegaherz]

30% of them are according to the poll.

[@Sunderas]

"DID I MISS SOMETHING?" WTF?!?

[@dazonic]

Okay truth though, I feel very sorry for all the Americans who aren't up-themselves halfwits, because you guys generally really aren't liked internationally. If we plan a long stay anywhere is South American or Europe, one of the first phrases we need to learn to say to the locals is ''I am not an American, I'm Australian''

[@vinniechan]

"Did I miss something?" XD but to be fair, what happened in NY was full blown on the news that it really overshadowed a lot of stuff that happened elsewhere that day.

[@xXFleaXx]

Yup we Americans are reluctant to give up our right to not give a fuck about anything but ourselves

[@jojolydsieandbean]

I know they only showed the stupid people (I have an American friend who is quite intelligent), but the fact that they can find that many people just walking along the streets is scary!

[@phocjame]

No, it's a sign of disliking the other country.

[@davexunit]

Sometimes I'm ashamed to be an American.

[@TheMeanGreenGoblin]

God how sad is this. I honestly don't find this the least bit funny. I find it absolutely TERRIFYING. I have a sister in law that just graduated as an honor student. We were talking about 9/11 one day and she could not tell me one fact about it other than it happened in NYC. Her parents and I started talking about Muslims and their religion and she literally said this to me, "Who's Allah? Why did he want to attack us?" THIS is the future of the United States.

[@thomasparsons5233]

Most of the worlds countries have freedom

[@0pacityX]

11 is the date and 9 is the month.

[@Speegs23]

Well there's an indictment of Canberra then.

[@xparty]

Was it that long ago? Damn, I know it's 2001, but seems recent past ain't that recent, then. Time flies by...

[@davexunit]

That's derogatory and ignorant frederickos.

[@MrSammo1]

And....90% believe that an invisible guy lives in the sky.....great Kool-aid!

[@palliah2]

I understand that a lot of American's would know all the details of it but these few that were interviewed...I feel sad for them. I'm an Aussie and I know more about it then they do.

[@dazonic]

It's not an assessment mate it's a fact. It's not nice, but it's true. And what, you think you could tell the difference between French/French-Canadians? Russians/Ukrainians? Or you'd know which country in South America someone came from by the accent of their Portuguese? Not only different accents, but entirely different dialects. Even Mandarin and Cantonese, can you tell the the difference? It's a big world man. My point is, right or not, like it or not, Americans are an international joke.

[@dazonic]

Good point, I agree 100%. Hey by the way, I'm shit-house with my geographical and language knowledge. Shit-house. I can't tell the difference between ANY of those languages I mentioned, I was just making a point that the world is a biiiiiig place :)

[@NKOWlifelight]

I really don't see how the people in this video couldn't answer the questions.

[@nitraiders117]

what the hell, you can ask an 8 yr old that and he/she will tell you the same thing

[@19dec1981]

oh and to the last guy in the interview: you missed everything mate! starting with your brain!

[@Darusdei]

@BreezyBrisbane, mate... they said that 30% couldnt recall the date so what would be the point of showing the 70% who did?

[@kalorful]

there's just no excuse for not being able to answer simple questions such as when did 9/11 occur. They must have asked at least 10000 ppl before finding dropkicks like those.

[@jmaros15]

I wonder how many people know about world trade center building number seven, and what that building was???

[@GurnSi]

USA = Number One? Part 3/12: 20% of military age say Africa's largest country is in Asia (Nat'lGeog06) Agriculture: Brazil #1 by 2010, #1 in 2004 for beef,chicken,orangejuice,sugar,coffee,tobacco (NYT 12/12/04) Teenage pregnancy: Worst in developed world, 600+% of EU (WHO) Childhood poverty: 22nd/23 developed nations: Mexico is #23 (Rifkin p81) Public debt/head: USA $30K, China $0.7K (CIA) Overseas Aid given/yr: USA $21B, EU $59B (OECD'08) R&D: EU far ahead in expenditure & capital (Rifkin p70)

[@NickLM2008]

Oh dear. Point proven.

[@osirinubis]

wow...that's sad...they're perfectly easy questions...

[@waterhands20]

Are you sure that these people aren't paid actors?? Do these people have a proper education??? Seriously, I'm dumbfounded that people are actually giving these kinds of answers o_0

[@camtuffley]

what about murder rates and crime rates though, surely america has one of the worlds worst rate

[@dazonic]

Nothing really... the guy was implying that everyone from other countries should be able to tell the difference between an American accent and any other English speaker- which is ridiculous. But yeah of course they edited the non-stupid ones out. It's still funny that there's people like this who don't pay any attention to the world around them.

[@AbsoluteDemonling]

"Did I miss something?" lol, priceless face.

[@JLC0894]

they would stage the pentagon being blown up? bs...

[@Moocman]

@bornguitarhero95 o.O Wait, you're talking about MY life.

[@packets1]

"Did i miss something?" Yeah. You missed a plane crashing into the Pentagon.

[@moe_007]

It dident really chrash into it bruh

[@heatbucspies55]

haha, I'm american but I gotta admit the people who didn't know the date was pretty funny after he just said "9/11" But Aussies aren't all knowing either. In a class of highschool kids at a pretty good school, most kidsc ouldn't name the first PM, or say how many stars on the Aussie flag.

[@kenseisato1989]

this is just sad

[@ulrek54321]

anybody can get a hold of us doller bills. im not saying abc paid for anything.

[@Speegs23]

It has a a lot less everything simply because it has little of anything...except suicide that is going strong.

[@FanpiresLabyrinth]

I s'pose the 9/11 date question could've been confusing in the sense that Australians (like me) have the date THEN the month and Americans have the month THEN the date.

[@scollops27]

i think these guys are starting again for another season soon

[@panaxion]

Rofl, why an earth would he need to pay them?

[@JOINTHERESISTANCE1]

@USStateSponTerrorism well said.

[@DruoxTheShredder]

Thanks for proving my point :)

[@ulrek54321]

who said they didnt pay them in us doller bills?

[@DxEmoSkittlesxD]

Some americans think canada is filled with snow and people travel in sleds , fucking hilarious

[@blastintiger]

QUICK!!!! Its an emergency whats the number for 911

[@SkillzorZ021]

Yes, Mr Black Man, you missed something.

[@wookieproductions]

in what month did 9/11 take place? October

[@sniperjared]

seriously you could go to any country, ask a bunch of simple questions, and if you ask enough people eventually there will be enough idiots to make a show out of it. and they obviously ask a few immigrants who probably are more worried about feeding their children then facts about america

[@Lachy474]

Whoops Just asked my 8 yearold sister what date came to her mind if I said 9/11 The results make Americans look sad...

[@eymoose]

Well of course america sucks when you compare it to australia. thats the only country we like more than ourselves

[@BruceCinema1337]

duh, of course, evy1 knows that after they watched Zeitgeist.

[@mafuletrekkie]

yeup, what can I say, we Americans have just as many fools as everyone else. Although alot of them did seem quite old (alzheimer's anyone) and at least one had an African accent and might not even have been here then who knows.

[@ulrek54321]

he paid them all

[@furbypunk]

they arent stupid........they just dont care.......you could ask the date of a fottball game, the record of a baseball player, or the date when the new gucci colection is coming out(the girl with the sun glases looked well informed).........

[@mrtronathen]

@xXbutters1234 yeah same

[@rageatm4life]

"did i miss something" umm yeah your IQ

[@Speegs23]

Sydney has the worst suicide rate on the planet, Perth has an alarming one too, I used to live in Freemantle and it was problematic for the city; I don't say it to be mean spirited, it is a social problem in Oz and the Kiwis are bad too, just that Sydney is the population of NZ.

[@Nephilim70]

Yeah shit mate... But think about it.. Sept 11th. What month is that in? Even Steady Eddy can tell ya that.

[@dbfan2scfan]

Sept 11, 2001 the day the CIA attacked it's own country.. again.

[@sapho71]

Mossad

[@ozpowermo]

Last guy wasn't even American...

[@DruoxTheShredder]

lol further proof. i love it, keep it up gits :D

[@lauris15151]

@JohnF30Music i was 7 and i still remember :D

[@ulrek54321]

he paid them.

[@user-ht4gb2fw4e]

30,000 dead on 9/11??!! HAHAHAHA!! this is great comedy!! we also have a show called: Talking To Americans! its damn funny!!

[@danowensyou]

damn. even i knew the answer to these questions, and i'm pretty fucking stupid.

[@DxEmoSkittlesxD]

Umm what planet are you from? i wouldnt make a staement like that if i didnt have knowledge about it. i AM living in CANADA by some people thinking we ride in sleds instead of cars. is i ment they think like on main streets like , young street in toronto

[@carrieluvv]

do ya mean ignorance is bliss?

[@lkmrn325]

Lol. I like how many thumbs up you got for that. Imma give you another one just to be nice, even though you just called me a piece of shit.

[@jas16899]

@ninjaduck21 Hey did you see the new episode of pregnant in heels? I'm going to taco bell now but not before I get NASCAR Microwave at Walmart. I just don't know how I'm going to pay my bills this month, maybe I'll come up with an idea after drinking a few buds.

[@leftofzen]

Continuing from previously: -please prove that we are inbred, or do not claim this. -please prove that we are entirely convict descendants or do not claim this. In summary please provide evidence to support your argument or we will be forced to laugh at you

[@legendaryjezzdog]

wow you're a genius

[@vinnycwalsh]

I concur.

[@GurnSi]

"I'm obviously not spending the elaborate time" Elaborate isn't the adjective you were seeking. Don't get emotional or flustered. btw I am participating in over 10 vid-discussions right now. Your underestimation of me is hilarious. If you choose to view me (for reasons beyond me unless they comprise mere idiocy) as an enemy, you are committing a cardinal error by underestimating me. Your enemy is at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Ignore me.

[@chinasparkle]

"dey were stopid" hahah!

[@Paperbagman555]

LOL September 9th???

[@zomgchocobo]

nah we eat kangaroos they should be running from us :P

[@JPeterford]

Hmmm everything ive seen from this show has been hilarious... however witnessing 9-11 from the window of my high school, gives me a real sense that this is not funny and should not be joked about... espcially by people who live halfway around the world...you think Americans are detached for forgetting the date? It seems some Aussies are attached for even thinking of joking about it

[@booneknox1311]

No...I love Bali

[@Chuichupachichi]

It's quite alright. Seeing something like this doesn't hurt us Americans anymore... we've been well aware of our Democrats for quite some time now However, as with every other terrible thing, it's all truly Bush's fault... he failed to say "a date that will live in infamy". That makes Americans remember. I use that phrase as a memory booster every time I wish to remember important dates For example, the birthdays of all my relatives & friends is December 7...coincidentally all born on same day

[@MarilynFilth]

@Speegs23 Ok Speegs, I really couldn't be bothered if you're just going to act like that. You carry on then.

[@camtuffley]

give the convict comeback a miss will ya? its old, and lame. pretty sure that australia has a little less crime than seppo land.

[@anandodasgupta]

ROFL AMERICANS ROOL! \m/

[@mcfogellovin]

@vdub350 i thought you had to, you know live in Europe to be European. Last time I checked, Australia was not in Europe. derp

[@thrashtastical]

@XcitedMungoMan2010 except for the americans

[@Homeskillet364]

This video doesnt actually say how many ppl they asked im sure every country has its &*^% heads and thats the only ones they included into the video
