Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

Did anyone watch this show?

I'll probably check it out - mostly because I really like Jeff Foxworthy and all the Blue Collar Comedy guys. When we were in Florida last year, Comedy Network (or some equivalent) had a marathon special with almost all of the standup of all of those guys. Awesome stuff.

But I doubt this show will be that hilarious.

ironically i got 7/10 too, the ones i got wrong though were stuff people wouldn't retain. ie. what is a gross of pencils? what is the regular term of a US representative? i just put 4 since thats a presidency term.

there were a couple in there that i found fairly easy that i could see dumb americans getting wrong. ie. is a turtle an amphibian? and what is the largest country in south america (considering many americans can't even name a province lol)

The whole premis is stupid. These kids aren't like regular fifth graders, more like tenth grade nerds. Also, who the hell remembers shit they learned in fifth grade? Ask one of those snotty fockers to figure out how to keep my girlfriend from complaining, or collect rent money from junkies...we'll se how fn smart they are.

OMG i can't believe i am actually sitting through this shit. This bitch is so fuckin dumb, it is actually ackward watching this.

what is the closest star to earth?

her:is the sun a star?

to make it even worse, the host says: we'll be back with the answer...like theres actually suspense to find out?

what is the longest border to the USA?

her:my heart is saying mexico...just wow!

how many sides is a trapezoid?

her: what the hell is that? (then when she gets to take a peek to see the right answer of 4) but how can that be, a square has four sides? lol

As a teacher, i must say that was the most painful 30mins of tv airing time i have watched. (yet i actually proceeded on)
