Jaxon never disappoints to be the best current Gen Z cast.

[asher_mom]

I love Jaxons parents. They did good. I'm always amazed at his knowledge of good 'older" music :) Beatles, Green Day etc.

[veddyveddygood]

Jaxon by far the most knowledgable in this group.

[jayjanzee]

9:20-9:21 "That's a dog and my ex best friend" Katherine is savage!! Love her😍😍😍👏🏾👏🏾👑👑

[ithikithik]

I'm not even an American, but I think I knew about the US more than this gen Z

[star_man]

Watching Catherine's reaction to the JFK assassination clip broke my heart, I was fighting back tears.

[EmelieStenberg]

I usually feel dumb but after watching this and hearing their answers I feel smart...

[geckopecko]

as a gen z i feel embarrassed C'MON HOW CAN YOU GET THE BEATLES WRONG

[XGamerFPS]

“Apollo I” is a crazy answer and not knowing the president who was assassinated in the 1960s is insane…I’m part of this generation too💀

[AliciaNyblade]

I'm a millennial and I knew all the answers, and was pleasantly surprised that I did. This was so much fun to play along to at home! Please do more of these!

[thalia]

I know our educational system in the U.S. is shitty, but not knowing JFK's assassination date and Watergate is kinda insane

[jinakaye]

I think a lot of us are taking their lack of pop culture & historical knowledge too seriously. I'm Gen X and only missed the serial killer question (thought it was Son of Sam). There are things that Gen Z hasn’t learned yet. When you lived during the times of the events, it's easier to judge. I wouldn’t have gotten the George Carlin or Dustin Hoffman questions right if this had been asked when I was a teenager. Give Gen Z some grace.

[christinadoxstader]

Catherine's hints are just awesome lol

[animatorFan]

Always impressed with Jaxon's knowledge of the 80's and decades well before his time.... his parents definitely did a great job raising him. :)

[marciooliveira]

I am a Brazilian and I wonder if these people have history of their own country in schools. It is not possible that they simply do not know about the biggest events in the USA.

[djpegao]

_"Apollo 10?.... "Keep going", "Apollo 9?"_

Bruh, come on....

[johnbgood]

<sigh> There's no such thing as "Boomer history." It's just history - and public schools apparently don't teach it anymore.

[madscgreen]

THESE KIDS DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT what are they teaching in schools? 😭 i'm only 26 too

[Angela-orzo]

I get not knowing some pop culture, but to not know JFK was assassinated? What are they teaching in school?

[jamesharris]

Im from the UK and knew all of these. Half of these were just common knowledge. Really surprised on how little the younger generation know about their own countries history.
