- General Mills? Kay, I'm gonna say higher.
No!
- I'ma say-- [bleep], [bleep] you!
- ♪ (8-bit intro) ♪
- "The Higher Lower Game." Oh, "What gets Googled more?"
- What does the naked man have to do with this game?
- Is this where there's Google searches
and I have to guess which ones are more popular?
- (FBE) So Higher Lower makes a game out of
trying to figure out how much something
is Googled. So, you're gonna be given
two subjects and you have to figure out
which one is Googled more than the other.
- What's Googled more? Okay, dude.
Hopefully, I-- I'm a marketing major.
If I don't get this right, school's doing me wrong.
- "A frustratingly addicting game of higher or lower
using Google searches. The data is based on..."
2017? Oh, this'll be very interesting.
- (FBE) The way we're gonna do it, is we're just gonna
give you 30 minutes to just try to get
the highest score you can. - Sounds easy enough.
I feel like I Google random stuff enough
and I feel like everybody has a similar mind
on the internet.
- I don't know. I feel like I'm always
out of the loop.
- Let's do it!
- "Unilever?" What?
450,000 monthly searches. "The Flintstones."
Well, I have no idea what Unilever is,
so I'm guessing that the Flintstones have more.
I'm gonna do it. Frick, dang it!
I got it wrong. My score's zero.
"We're pretty embarrassed for you right now."
Yeah, me too.
- "John Lewis" or "Moon Landing"
I'ma go with higher because of the conspiracy theories.
Is the moon landing even real? Oh wow, what the [bleep]?
That's a terrible score. "The average score is 3.2.
Put some effort into it." Smiley face.
Okay.
- Muhammad Ali ha-- oh, average monthly?
Oh wait, Maldives? Wait, what month is it?
If it's a vacationy kind of month, I would say Maldives,
'cause that looks like a vacation spot.
It was recently summer. Ah!
Why did I trust the boxing?
- "I'm Alan Partridge" has 4,000.
Versus "Eden Hazard." I don't know, probably higher.
Yeah!
- Algebra, obviously, 'cause I feel like people
are gonna be like, "Oh, how do I
solve this problem?" That's how I was.
I sucked at math. I always Googled everything.
Good so far.
- Charles Darwin has 368,000 average monthly searches.
I almost feel like the Washington Redskins
would be more, 'cause I feel like--
I would want it to be less, but it's probably gonna be more.
Yeah, look at that. I don't know how long
the Redskins have been around for.
I know nothing about football. There Will Be Blood
is a movie and I like movies. I'm just gonna give it
the benefit of the doubt and do it higher.
And I'm gonna go back to zero.
- "Skydiving" Oh, yeah,
because so many people-- I research it,
because I'm really scared of skydiving, so I'm gonna
do higher. (gasps)
What!?
- I Would hope people wouldn't look up torture.
I feel like this is gonna be the one I'ma get wrong,
but let's try higher. (laughs)
Y'all gonna show me with this game.
- Pokemon Go, yes. Yes, that's super pop--
83 million. Holy shit.
- Netflix, honestly. Really?
Am I gonna-- you gotta look it up
just to watch it, you know? See?
That's a lot.
- Arsenal is a huge football, I'm gonna call it football,
overseas is like a religion. So, it's religion
versus another religion, Anonymous.
I'm gonna say lower. Okay, yeah.
Okay, I'm good with that one.
- "Immigration?" Oh, higher for sure.
Wow, I thought that would be higher.
See, this is so-- it's so up in the air.
"Russia?" Higher for sure.
Yes! I'm at three!
- "P and G" White laundry.
Seems like an old brand. I don't think they're
gonna be relevant, right? Really?
People know the name of the product,
but they don't really think of the companies
that make them.
- "Chyna." I don't know anything
about pop culture. This sucks!
Urgh, YOLO! [bleep].
Got six that time.
- "Birth." I think birth is higher.
No, come on, man! There's hella people
being born every day. What do you mean?
Two, so that's still not a good score.
"Quick, click play again and we'll pretend
we didn't see that--" Damn, they're just
roasting me over here.
- "Larry Bird." Lower.
Okay, "Sand Kiting?" My instinct now
is that sand kiting would have less,
but because I think that, I think it has more.
(laughs) Every rationale I have
doesn't apply.
- "Uncle Bens." It's a brand,
so I'm gonna say it has a lot.
Dang it! Frick, man.
Well, I got four. "You're so average."
That's so rude. I did well, okay.
I wonder how much you have to get
for it to tell you you did a good job.
- "Exchange rate" or is it "Christmas?"
I'm gonna go with Christmas. Oh, but 2017.
Monthly searches in 2017. Christmas.
No.
- "David Bowie." Higher.
Easy. "Beagle."
People love dogs, but not enough.
David Bowie's more.
"Wonder Woman." Gal Gadot,
she's pretty big right now. People are searching her up,
but is she more important than dogs?
Let's find out. Higher.
We're right! Oh my God, what a roll.
"No Man's Sky." People are shit talking a lot.
I'ma say-- [bleep], [bleep] you!
- What is that? "Pythagoras?"
I only went up to pre-calc, okay.
I feel like people look it up to learn
how to do it, but then people
also look up online poker to play online poker.
I'm gonna say lower. Frick!
Dang it! "Get a score over eight
and you would be in the top ten percent."
What? This game is ridiculous.
- "The Supremes." I know who they are.
"Venus Williams." Serena Williams' sister.
That's such a low number. She has to have higher, right?
Okay.
- Coachella, higher. 22 only?
Damn. I feel like just on Twitter
I see a thousand searches. "Man On Wire?"
Damn, 22k is low already. I'ma go higher,
just 'cause how close that margin was, okay.
- "Peaky Blinders." Higher or lower
than Kanye West. Kanye West.
I've probably heard something Kanye West related today,
so I'm gonna go with less. Damn, sorry, Cillian Murphy.
- Xanax or ice hockey? I feel like Xanax has more.
Yeah! Every boy in the world
talks about FIFA. Yeah, see?
Five million boys in the world.
- "Tinder." Oh, [bleep].
That shit's crazy. Everyone is out here on Tinder.
All right, "childcare." It's not as much
as people wanna hook up, so it's gonna be lower.
- "Novac Djokovic." Looks like he's a tennis player.
I don't know how popular he is or tennis is,
but I like Pac-Man, so Pac-Man.
Yeah!
- "Minecraft?" Okay, higher.
Yes, yes, yes. (gasps)
Uh, Miley Cyrus. More than 45 million?
Oh, this is hard. I'm gonna say lower.
Ugh, good. I'm at eight!
My top score.
- Thesaurus.com. All right, higher.
Yes, yes, yes! All right, "Inception."
Lower. Okay, wow.
Wow, we're in top ten. We're in top ten.
"Badminton?" My mom says
she played as a kid. This is for mom right here.
Let's go.
- A British politician versus the Aborigines,
or the Australian natives. Aborigines, maybe?
'Cause a lot of people don't know who they are?
Nope, that's probably why they're not searched as much.
- I feel like paragliding's more exciting,
but nobody really does that. So, lower.
I guess people do paraglide. I scored seven!
"Excellent! The average score is 3.2, so you're pretty good.
We're impressed."
- "Personal assistant." I found myself looking up
how to be a personal assistant. I think this is college students.
Like, how to get a job as a personal assistant.
I'm gonna see that it's not even high.
It's like it never did-- really?
I got eight.
- "General Mills?" Kay, I'm gonna say higher.
No! How does General Mills
only have that many? Nine, yes!
I'm in the top ten percent.
- "Sin City." Oh, Sin City, hold up.
They almost tricked me. Las Vegas.
I doubted it.
- "Summer Solstice." That was such a thing,
but he's for sure a thing, 'cause he has lots of searches.
I think the summer solstice. No!
I got fifteen! That's good!
I found my calling. I found my calling!
- I love the game. I do.
I kind of want to play it again, not gonna lie,
but I feel like I'm gonna give myself
gray hair or something. I feel like I need
to go on a run. I have all this intense anger
in me right now. I just feel so like, argh!
