I once saw a video of Americans being asked to put a pin in where they believed they were (it were a bunch of street interviews), the question was like ‘we are in city x, do you know where that is?’ and whether they could put a pin in a blank map. Obv the people who got it right werent funny enough to show, but if was unbelievable to watch one after the other put a pin in Brazil or the middle of China. I think they get confused bc on tv is mostly maps of the US / the region and not the world.
Yeah I believe it. My friends think I’m a wizard because I play multiple geography games every day so I can tell most nations (many island nations still fuck me up) simply by their outline.
We were rained in at a bachelor party one time playing one of the games to pass some time and my buddy, whose wife is Costa Rican said “All I know is that’s not Costa Rica, we visit every year”. It was Costa Rica. We don’t let him live that one down.
For those street interviews, they interview a whole bunch of people and only use the funniest and stupidest clips, peppered in with a couple that aren’t as bad. They’re meant to be funny. Otherwise they wouldn’t be interesting.

It’s also the result of being put on the spot with a microphone in your face. Like that girl who couldn’t name “a woman”
