The last thing that made you laugh

Funny!!! :D But a little scary & sad too!! I never saw this one before! (I guess I don't watch CNN.) Jesse Watters (Watters World) & Jimmy Kimmel post hilarious 'man on the street' videos all the time. The best (or scariest!) are when they go to the top universities & ask say, a 3rd year international studies major who says they want to be a diplomat or some other such equally ambitious type job after graduation in one year, & that same student cannot even answer simple questions about anything, including recent international events! People will know literally NOTHING about any single topic, but they will know EVERY single detail about some celebrity's wardrobe or life! If I had children, I would not allow them to watch television! :P

I wish I could laugh about this... it's cringeworthy.

Makes me want to grab someone through the screen and smack them a bit... how can someone be that ignorant and stupid?

Granted, you can't know everything about the world, but really... yeah... I'm near to being stumped by seeing this video... yeesh... burn it before it breeds!

King_Oni, I try (sometimes it's very hard) to remain positive & also find the kernel of humor (I love humor & appreciate a good laugh) in things like this but truthfully I feel as you ... annoyance & some anger ... disgust ... disappointment & I think mostly sadness. It is such a shame. And it also causes me anxiety ... because to me it is unfortunate & even scary that as a collective society - & I am no liberal or progressive, I am more libertarian & individualistic, but I do "care", & I do my part to help others, & such ignorance may be the weak link that can harm or hurt us all someday. I actually cannot stomach watching things like this so only watch a tiny bit before I have to stop.

I live in a town in the USA I call the stupidest place on the planet :p
 
I always say I'm surrounded by morons. Now if anyone says I'm being a drama queen, I can show them that video to prove it. Yeesh.

From what I've heard about regarding the comments on this video, this video is actually focused only on those who made these answers rather then including those who did know what they were talking about.

Still, it was funny watching it.

I wouldn't expect this to be the only people they asked, much like most videos like this are some kind of "compilation of stupid" but really... the fact there is at least 1 person like this is already 1 too many.

However, just like all these fail videos on youtube where people have some kind of accident, imagine having people with right answers in between. I reckon that would make a handful of people feel even more stupid. Imagine seeing yourself in a compilation online among other people where you actually answer something that is so seemingly stupid and you have a frame of reference because significant part of the interviewees actually do know these things...

that is why humans have autism so you get people who follow a single topic and know a lot about that single topic.
 
Created in response to news that Netflix is producing a live-action Legend of Zelda tv series:

The pictures are from Game of Thrones, the dialog is from a legendarily awful early 90s Zelda CD-Rom game:

 
To be fair, even the AVGN noted that they weren't bad ideas for games, they were just poorly executed. It happens.

Personally, I can't wait to see what Netflix comes up with. Considering how reluctant Nintendo is to lend out their franchises for adaptation (the last time they did so was the Animal Crossing movie in 2006 and that never left Japan), the fact that they're allowing anyone to do a Legend Of Zelda series, and an American company at that, is a very big deal any way you look at it.

Of course, geek culture being what it is, I imagine the "popular opinion" will be that it's terrible long before anyone has even seen it and if it turns out to be amazing, absolutely no one will retract their bogus bashing of it. It's incredibly annoying, but I've learned that that's how it goes.
