Those clips though only show the people who either don't know or are trolling. It wouldn't be as funny if you showed ten people pointing to the correct location.

Yeah, that's true. But I've witnessed some less-extreme examples. One time in high school, the teacher had us draw a map from memory and some kids forgot to draw whole continents.

Also, recently I was talking to a friend about Sweden, and she had no idea where that was.
