Hello and welcome to this month's
JackSucksAtGeography Reddit video.
Because this subreddit is still growing,
we're currently on 25,000 members,
for a little incentive for next month's episode,
I've got this little fella.
It's a cute little vintage style globe.
I'm gonna sign it.
Lovely.
And whoever uploads the post that I like the most
in next month's episode will win this
as well as and now sold out JackSucksAtGeography YouTooz.
So join the subreddit and post something good.
Thank you.
"Jack, care to defeat this kid?"
"Tamil Nadu, 3-Year-Old breaks world record,
identifies flags of the world
of 197 countries in four minutes."
That is insane.
I think I could probably do it about four minutes,
but I'm not three years old!
I do know there's an official Guinness World Record
for identifying them all.
Currently, it's this person called Sashi, three minutes 23,
which is very impressive.
But previously, it was this guy called Hassan
who did it in four minutes.
And he reached out to us on Instagram
and he watched a few of my videos
where I was identifying the flags,
and then he practised himself
and got way better than I will ever be.
What I know would let me down
is the fact that you have to type them all.
Because as you know in my videos, I can't type,
and I kinda struggle with my spelling too.
I wish I could get the record by just looking at the flag
and saying it out loud, 'cause then maybe I'd have a chance.
Although 3 minutes 23 seconds,
maybe that is way too difficult to beat.
"No one, South Africa."
(laughing) Right.
Yeah, there's a couple of exclaves in South Africa.
It does kind of look like this cheese, fair.
"Normal map of the United States."
Okay, so I think you're making fun of me here?
I'm pretty sure there was a short that came out
a couple of weeks ago where I got Cyprus
in the USA mixed up and... no, I'm gonna find it.
Hang on.
Yeah, here it is.
So I had to find the fake flags
and for some reason I didn't notice
that Cyprus was actually the outline of the US there.
Can we stop talking about it please?
All right. (laughs)
"Countries with a smaller population than Uttar Pradesh."
That is crazy.
So this is just a region in northern India.
And as we can see, every country in Africa, Europe,
South America and lots of other areas have less people.
That is crazy to be fair.
"Only OG's know this place."
Ah, so this is where I spawned in
when I played real life Geoguessr a couple of years ago.
It was a really fun video
and I should definitely do it again to be fair.
30,000 likes on this video
we'll do another real life Geoguessr.
Where I'm blindfolded
and then Becky drops us off in a random location
in the UK and I have to work out where I am.
"Bhutan versus Wales" Ah, battle of the dragons!
Which dragon flag do I think is the coolest?
Ah, I'm gonna have to go with the Welsh flag, aren't I?
I like both very much though.
But I think the Welsh one,
just the colours work better don't they?
I drew every flag in the world.
Oh that must have took a while.
Look at that, you didn't just draw the flags,
you drew the countries.
Oh look you've done all the little fellas
in the Pacific as well.
Well that's delightful.
Good job, yeah, fair play.
I'm too scared to do another drawing continents
and countries from memory
because people are too mean to me about it. (laughs)
"Watching the Reddit video to see the posts.
Watching it for the geography interlude."
(celebratory music)
All right, we're start off with Worldle,
and coincidentally speaking of cheese,
I think we've got South Africa there.
Is that South Africa?
It's got to be be South Africa, isn't it?
Guess? Yes it is.
But don't worry we're still interluding right now
because it's time for the bonus round,
which is guess the neighbours.
Right, I can do this, can't I?
So we've got an Namibia, that's the first one.
Guess? Good.
By first one I didn't mean the first one in the list.
I just made the first one that I could think of, all right.
Then we should have Zimbabwe, guess, thank you.
I'm guessing Zambia is in there.
Is a Zambia in there?
Oh it's not.
Botswana is definitely the next one though.
There you go.
Number three is Mozambique, I believe.
There you go.
Only country in the world that's got every vowel
in its name, bit of trivia for you there.
Right, and then the other two I assume
are just Eswatini and 'Lesoothoo', or 'Lesohthoh',
I can never quite remember which one's correct.
Guess, yay.
I can't believe I got one wrong,
bloody Zambia, nice one.
Bonus round?
Ooh, guess the capital.
Okay, so South Africa's the only country
that's got three capitals isn't it?
And I only know one of them and that is Cape Town.
So let's guess.
Ah, it gives me it, okay, that's fine.
Estimated population of South Africa. Ooh, right.
It'll be between B and C
I reckon it's probably about like 42 million.
So I'm gonna go for it.
Yes, it was 59 million and the currency is?
This one, I don't know, I, It's not gonna be pound is it?
I think, based on the other three, I'll go Kwacha.
Ah, it was Rand.
Okay, did not know that.
Wow, what a fun little interlude, that was great.
Wasn't it guys? (laughs)
"How common people say mum in the UK and Ireland."
Wait this is phrased questionably.
Are you calling people common,
or are you saying how frequently people say it?
'Cause you sound quite rude.
to where I'm from in County Durham
this kind of area, we say mam instead of mum.
You can see for the rest of British Isles,
that is an exception.
I didn't know they said mam in Wales.
I knew they did in Ireland.
But isn't that interesting?
I wonder what the like the history behind that is.
It's always a nightmare
when I'm buying my mam and Mother's day card as well
because like most of the cards say 'To a lovely mum' on it
and then you know that's not right.
Ah, I don't call her mum.
Who's that card for?
Not my mam.
"This might help Jack
in the next Guessing The National Anthem video."
Oh my god, I am so bad at guessing the national anthems.
I'm so embarrassed about how well those videos did.
Why's it got 400,000 views.
Oh 400,000 people have seen me humiliate myself.
I think I got like four out of 30 or something,
but I was even worse in guess the language.
But yeah here's some data
that I am never ever gonna remember.
I mean there's literally no point in me looking at this.
"I thought the world looked like this when I was nine,
brackets, I was an idiot."
I mean I don't think there's that much
to be ashamed of there.
It's certainly not common knowledge
and it's a lot to remember.
You said you were nine.
Some of the stupid things I said two years ago.
Oh my god.
"I made 2 Haiti flag redesigns,
which one do you like better?"
Well that nice wonky palm tree.
I mean your circle's not centred on the bottom one.
That's what lets it down.
It's like the Bangladesh flags.
So I'm gonna have to go with number one, thank you.
"Europe according to Eurovision."
Isn't it weird how Australia gets to be in Eurovision?
I get like Azerbaijan and stuff
'cause like they neighbour Europe,
but why's Australia here,
you're not any, you're not touching anyone.
Apparently they just let a Australian in
to commemorate the 60th contest
and I mean I don't actually mind
I'd be happy with any country joining.
Just a bit of fun innit guys.
"Nothing to see here, just a normal map."
Okay, let's work out what you've done then.
Enhance, enhance, enhance.
That is not being enhanced very much
but I have noticed that Australia seems to be upside down
so, what's that about?
Is that the only difference?
I think so.
Please let me know the comments if I'm missing anything.
"Anyone else see how similar Wisconsin and Tanzania look?"
I mean not really.
"Which country used to be called Swaziland?"
That's Eswatini, right?
153 comments.
Yes, Eswatini.
Apparently they changed it
because they didn't wanna get mixed up with Switzerland.
I did not know that.
Apparently Swaziland changed to Eswatini
also because it's an effort to get away
from its colonial past as well.
'Cause that's what the British called it.
Nice one guys.
And continuing from that, "The Gambia is called The Gambia
because they didn't want to be confused with Zambia."
That's rather interesting isn't it?
"My Theychelles flag arrived."
I like it.
"Which should be the real Antarctica flag?"
Okay, okay.
I like that one as well.
That's just white.
That's also just white.
And then I mean I don't like this one one bit.
It's between the first two,
and to be honest, I think I'd pick this one.
I'm a sucker for light blue, what can I say?
"China, what's up with you?"
"Countries that have banned Winnie-the-Pooh
and countries that haven't."
Why have China banned Winnie-the-Pooh?
Why has Poland banned Winnie-the-Pooh?!
Okay, apparently Poland banned Winnie-the-Pooh
from some of their playgrounds
because he isn't wearing any trousers.
That is so weird.
And then China has banned Winnie-the-Pooh
because people started using him
as a way to mock the president
because like they walk in a similar way. (laughs)
Just embrace it, just buy little red t-shirt
and stop wearing trousers.
Finally, the best use for all those flag emojis.
Okay, this does make Vatican
and San Marino take up way more space though.
"Which should be the real flag of Earth?"
Ooh, I've never thought about an earth flag.
I mean that's a terrible idea.
Just combine all the flags.
I don't think so.
I like that one.
That's quite cool.
Ooh, getting the moon in there.
I like it.
Modern, very modern.
I quite like that one as well.
But I mean we can't let the US get away with that.
I think I've got with the little cute moon one.
"Someone made the flag of Haiti
but took out the ugly white square."
It looks better without it, doesn't it.
I'll just keep saying it
"Circles switched with Jack's face!
Can you guess the flags?"
Okay, we've got Laos to begin with,
then we've got Burundi, right?
Yeah it was Burundi.
I get that one wrong quite a bit.
And then next is Granada followed by...
Namibia?
Is it Namibia?
Yeah, I'm going with Namibia.
I was right, good.
And then just India, Uganda.
Ooh, maybe I got Laos wrong, you know.
That's Laos isn't it?
So what's the first one?
Oh god, I'm confused. (laughs)
And finally North Macedonia.
Belize, that's what I got mixed up with.
(Jack growls)
"Countries that are younger than YouTube."
Oh this is interesting.
So YouTube was established Valentine's Day 2005,
because it was originally gonna be a dating website.
But Montenegro is a year younger, 2006.
Kosovo, 2008 and South Sudan little baby 2011.
Sorry for calling you a baby South Sudan.
"The union Jack."
Okay guys, don't forget to join the Reddit
and you could win this signed globe. (laughs)
Completed United States flag map in Minecraft as well.
Oh my God.
I mean that's some pretty good detail isn't it?
Enhance, enhance, look at like Illinois flag.
Look at all of them to be fair, I mean that how- Oh my God!
"I made flag of the Central African Republic
if it was Nordic.
What do you guys think?"
I actually quite like it.
"My class is so dumb."
Corporate needs you to find the difference
between this picture and this picture.
My class both are Ukraine.
Yeah, imagine.
Imagine being dumb enough to make that mistake guys?
"Just finished this!"
Oh my god, you've made a Lego globe
and it spins in everything.
Go on.
You see your house pop up on Jack's Geoguessr.
He says it's an ugly area. (laughs)
I mean if it's in the UK
there's a 90% chance it's gonna be ugly.
I'm gonna be honest.
Maldives or Taiwan.
Jack when he sees a flag of the Maldives.
Wow, I dunno why I keep getting it wrong.
"Jack there are more than 60,000 people
in both South Korea and the UK."
Yeah, for some reason I said thousands instead of million.
Okay, and it was about 11 seconds
into the stupid video as well.
So all comments we're talking about it...
I got flag stickers, but the check flag isn't right.
Yeah, they've really not nailed that.
How do you get that wrong?
As a person that's making a book
that's got flag stickers in?
"Flag cake I made, bonus points if you can guess the flags."
Well how delightful,
A lot of mid eastern flags on there.
With Vatican shoved in as well for some reason,
I could only assume
you had a lot of red and white icing available.
"Today I decided that I would go out
and see what flags I could find.
I found none."
Yeah, unless you're in like a capital city
there's not that many kicking about generally.
I did love going around London though
and trying to find them and I found like, eighty didn't I?
Search up that video if you've not seen it,
it was a good one.
Map of Europe, if the sea level rises by a hundred metres
UK's had a bit of a nightmare not gonna lie.
And Italy, is looking rather shrivelled as well.
"Flag of Whales."
I mean I wouldn't protest
if they added a whale to the Welsh flag.
I, I think that's kind of funny.
There's probably more whales in Wales than dragons,
let's be honest.
"And now presenting" Katie's, flags of the world."
Oh my god, you've drawn them all.
That must have took quite a while to be fair.
Look at the way it kinda wobbles about.
Oh I like it.
Well that's really nice.
Great, great job Katie.
You're welcome.
Overlapped four random flags using a generator.
Can you guess which?
Uh, yes.
Mexico's definitely there.
I think is that Belarus?
And then, oh god that's actually quite difficult.
I'm gonna say Libya maybe.
And then finally, I don't know,
I-I'll shove in Comoros, but I don't think that's right.
Equatorial Guinea.
That's the one I got wrong, okay.
"Jack be like:" guys can we, can we stop, can we just stop.
Guys, I don't wanna talk about it anymore.
Ah, yep... I also said that Romania borders Greece
in my "Guess the languages" video.
I would like to officially retract this statement.
I realise now that I was wrong and I'm sorry, okay.
"We probably know the New Zealand flag,
but what if one of the rejected flags became the flag?"
Which is the best?
Okay, there's some good ones.
Which one do I like?
I like that one, it's very nice.
I like that one, that's pretty cool.
I like a one with a nice big fern on it.
Yeah, there we go.
And that looks cool as well with the red.
Ooh, could be going for that one to be fair,
but maybe it's a bit Australian looking.
Yeah, I like this one.
I think that's cool.
"It's not a JackSucksAtGeography video
until Jack does something that we can all make fun of."
Yes, I got a thousand and a million mixed up, okay.
I don't know why
I've made that mistake many different times.
Okay, I, I, (babbles)
"The sub count history of JackSucksAtGeography
versus Don't Subscribe."
Ooh, okay, this could be interesting.
So yeah, my Don't Subscribe channel,
instantly way more successful
even without any actual videos on the channel.
But it is not over for JackSucksAtGeography,
because obviously once it get-
once we get to a million on Don't Subscribe.
It's just gonna of kind of stop and plateau
basically isn't it?
The final climb?
Yes, it's slowed down
and JackSucksAtGeography is ready for its big boost.
This was kind of end of 2021 and you can see.
Look at us go.
Yes, JackSucksAtGeography!
700,000.
800,000.
Wait for it, wait for it.
900,000. (laughs)
And a million, and go on, keep it going a little bit more.
Go on... Yes!
"The funniest moment in the National Anthem Video."
I'm sure this is gonna be really embarrassing.
(a national anthem playing quietly)
No idea what this is by the way.
I was so lost and confused this whole video.
I can't believe how well I did
(Jack laughing)
The one time I didn't just guess Germany, it was Germany.
I'm not gonna lie, I kind of drifted off there.
I just forgot that I was making a YouTube video.
(Jack laughing)
"When you take your dog to the vet, before, and after."
I've never seen that before,
that's, that's quite a funny one.
"Enhance, enhance is Jack's best catch phrase
and you can't change my mind"
I'm glad you enjoy it.
"Such an honour!
Reference on the second slide."
Making Jack admit his geography mistake,
helping Jack transition into a sponsor?
Ah, yeah.
'Cause I started talking about my glasses
that I got with Honey, didn't I?
Yeah, that really is a great honour.
Why do I not have a sponsor for this month's video?
The sponsor is, please subscribe.
I currently have 1.21 million subscribers.
Which means we have the same amount of subscribers
as the population of Lesotho, which is kinda epic,
but we're close to taking over the population of Gabon.
So please subscribe so we can get bigger than Gabon.
"I'm not good at Globle."
Oh my God, that's how many guesses you had.
I mean, to name that many countries
you must be pretty good.
Should we do a second JackSucksAtGeography interlude?
Is that a bit crazy?
(celebratory music)
Okay, as long as I have less guesses than that guy,
I'll feel fine.
So where do we go to begin with?
Close my eyes...
When we did this in the last video I did get Antarctica and the Arctic Circle mixed up.
So hopefully that doesn't happen again.
All right, we'll go right here, Namibia.
Namibia, guess. We're 5,000 kilometres away.
I'll go in Europe, then I'll go maybe Poland.
Yeah, let's try Poland.
Ooh, a thousand kilometres away.
In that case maybe go over here, try Azerbaijan?
No Poland's closer.
I'm not entirely sure on the scale.
I'm trying Iceland.
Ah, Poland's still closer.
I'm starting to screw this up a bit.
Okay, I'll go Portugal then while we kind of work this out.
Poland's still closer.
Should I just be going up here like Finland or something?
Let's try Finland.
Poland's still closer, a thousand kilometres.
So do I, should I just be going
with like Greece or something?
Yes, I should. Okay. 600 kilometres from Greece.
Romania doesn't actually border Greece.
I don't know if you guys knew that.
So I'm gonna try Romania.
Greece is closer still.
Let's try Cyprus.
Cyprus isn't it.
I'm actually starting to really ramp up the guesses.
Right, Albania.
Albania's close.
Kosovo?
Ooh, Kosovo's not that close.
Do not tell me that it is just Italy.
Italy's closest Vatican.
Vatican's fourth closest.
Our closest spot is 90 kilometres.
So it's not gonna be San Marino either.
It's gonna be something in here, Bosnia then.
No, Croatia? (laughs)
How do I not have it?
Switzerland?
Slovakia, Slovenia?
Austria, it must be Austria.
How is it not Austria?
It can't be Germany can it, it's not gonna be.
Czechia then I dunno...!
Must be something over this way then, is it?
Is it Andorra?
Oh, it's gonna be Andorra, isn't it?
I'm just being a fool, Andorra.
No, Italy and Greece are closest so,
oh, it's gonna be Malta, yeah, 23 guesses.
That's still less than this fella, but not ideal.
"Jack's most embarrassing
'Drawing flags from memory' moment."
Okay, it's, let's end on this, what is it?
- It's Ukraine.
Yes of course it's me drawing the Ukrainie flag.
Well, let's see what went wrong.
- I can't a 100% remember
if it's yellow on the top and blue on the bottom
or the other way around.
Oh my God, it might be the other way.
No, I'm gonna lock that in.
- Don't lock it in, Jack, don't lock it in.
- Computer please reveal we got it wrong. (laughs)
Zero points.
Oh God, it's so obvious as well because usually
these kind of flags, anytime there's blue,
it represents the sky,
so obviously the blue's gonna be be up here,
and the yellow field is gonna be on the bottom.
Think Jack, think.
