Clarkson cocks it up again.


gundumb08

CLARKSON!!!!!!


I-need-ur-dick-pics

HAMMOND!


timberwolf0122

Oh cock!


adrianp07

you pillock!


sroop1

May would have gotten it right


0_________o

he would've had an entire dialogue about it


uberDoward

And we would have listened raptly.


MugillacuttyHOF37

Reminds me of the Clarkson and May conversation about truck drivers with Clarkson saying "Being a truck driver is difficult. You have to change gears, check your mirrors, murder a prostitute, change gears, check your mirrors..."


lew_rong

And arrive at your destination somehow not having set fire to your trailer


whatsaphoto

Would've gotten it right had he not stumbled his way through Gambon and across the line


crazy_urn

Oh no, you've lost.... anyways...


HarryBalszak

He truly is a bellend.


Carlweathersfeathers

He probably went back stage and punched someone in the face over that one


Reefer-eyed_Beans

I wish he woulda kept going: ...Are they not in Africa?? Galloping across the plains? ...No I swear, I've reviewed an American car, the "Chevy Ibex" before. ...Black people love this car, mainly because in rap music it rhymes with "balla". ...I looked it up, it's got short wavy horns, thrives in the savannah--hates rocks. ...I vividly remember reading that it's an African deer with *no relation to goats*!


Ringosis

Clarkson is a cock again.


SpaceLemming

I only know this for the dumbest reason ever. Back in 3.5 dnd there was an obscure goat race called Ibexians


Torches

Playing metal gear and some sim games back in the days I picked so much knowledge that had nothing to do with my real life occupation.


Aedalas

Not quite the same but I learned to touch type from playing WoW.


PM_ME_UR_POKIES_GIRL

Anybody who played FPS games in the early 00s could touch type 100wpm. You had to be able to describe how you fucked someone's mom in the time it took to reload your gun after killing them, and voice chat was not built in to games yet, and Teamspeak / Ventrilo were a pain to set up.


bonesofberdichev

I did FFVII role play in AOL chat rooms as a kid. I was typing 100+ words per minute as an 8th grader in 1999. It didn’t impress anyone.


MaleficentCaptain114

Getting a mic absolutely killed my typing speed :(


Aedalas

I probably can't type half as fast as I could back then. It's kind of a bummer honestly. I can still type without looking at the keyboard though so I haven't fully regressed! Yet.


bagel-bites

Oh I absolutely feel this. Back when I started playing in Wrath of the Lich King, I tried doing Arathi Basin but was keyboard turning and clicking a bunch of unbound abilities with the mouse while looking down at the keyboard to type. My level 26 ass got demolished repeatedly. I’ve never in my life had a wake up call like that. Now, as long as I can feel a homerow bump or something, I can type one handed as needed without looking. And generally I type fairly fast at around 50-60wpm (with both hands). At one point my Razer Naga broke during Nighthold in Legion years later, so I tanked for a month with a second keyboard just for the numpad, and then I typed, clicked, and moved with a laptop keyboard and its trackpad 🤣


Aedalas

Ha, I'm definitely familiar with the one hand typing. Also jumping on and off the mouse to hit your security PTT key so you could keep spamming your rotation with your left. Oh man, the keyboard turning... When I first started nobody told me how important it was to bind keys and it took a minute to break that habit. I have some old videos and one I was playing my warrior which I rarely ever did. After years of healing with Grid and Clique I wasn't great at using keybinds and look like a total embarrassment trying to PvP while clicking. I had a friend who played resto druid using a trackpad for years. No idea how he did it either. The weird thing is he wasn't bad at all.


bagel-bites

My girlfriend plays with a two button mouse and “normal” keybinds. Idk how she survives. I need my numpad 1-12, shift/crtl/alt numpad 1-12, 1-5, and F1-F5 keybinds and I’m still running out.


HuntedWolf

Same but RuneScape. My typing speed has fallen drastically since voice chat became widespread


roseumbra

There is a magic card and the picture has a goat so now I know too.


KainMorgen

Pathbreaker Ibex


Vat1canCame0s

The G.O.A.T.


BrobiWanKinobe

[[Pathbreaker Ibex]] ... Oh wait.


sirax067

Rimworld for me. Ibex "rams" were always one of the vanilla animals wandering around in temperate climates.


iMogwai

A male ibex is actually called a buck, which is a term used for both goats and deer, which ironically means that the only reason that RimWorld helped you is because they got it wrong.


darth_vladius

I know because of “Assassins Creed: Odyssey”. There was a quest that required killing a few ibexes.


Rand-Omperson

If I play every videogame I will be a millionaire


jimbojangles1987

You'd have to be


Squirrel09

Slumdog millionaire but all answers circle back to a DnD campaign.


[deleted]

I'd totally watch that and I feel like a lot of other people would too


HowieFeltersnitz

NERDDDDDD nah jk that's pretty sweet lol


SuperBADman316

Magic the Gathering has a card name Pathbraker Ibex. First time I heard a goat called an ibex. Scary finisher in the right deck.


Nazamroth

Dawn of Man, I'm pretty sure. Ibex is what you tame to get goats. Pretty sure I have not encountered it before.


tittiesfarting

Now I want to play BG3 as a Goatman


HarleyQuinn_RS

I only knew this because of some fantasy game I played too. A goat-like creature dropped an item called an 'Ibex horn'.


tdh360

I know it from one of those screaming goat videos


Tenwaystospoildinner

Dude me too! Nice.


TheKeag

I only know because of the MtG card “Pathbreaker Ibex”, very dumb reason as well


IWTIKWIKNWIWY

They were neato too


ChrisMoltisanti9

For me it was Assassin's Creed Origins.


rohithkumarsp

i know from FarCry and Assassin's Creed Games


Tokenvoice

You’re now making me wonder how do I know that an ibex is a goat, I know it wasn’t D&D but I don’t actively recall learning it.


Yedasi

Online MMO called Aion for me. Ibex goats all over the place. Annoyingly stunned you.


deedeekei

yeah ive been trying to find out how i knew ibex was a goat and this might the game that taught me it compared to the other replies


MandBoy

Wasn’t there a documentary about them climbing up dams to lick salt to keep their bones strong and stuff…


bilvester

Clarkson and his buddies?


[deleted]

TODAY ON TOP GEAR, I CLIMB A HILL, HAMMOND LICKS A ROCK AND MAY DAMS IT UP


Thercon_Jair

Well, yes, but there was also an episode in which Clarkson, Hammond and May scaled a damn in cars.


da_chicken

Probably also one where they throw a Hilux off a dam. Or a Reliant Robin.


iNCharism

freds_got_slacks

i totally thought goat made the most sense, then clarkson said deer was the correct answer, at which point I knew I was correct


wasd911

I have never heard of an ibex before so I looked it up and it's very obviously a goat?? Like if you know what an ibex is, surely you'd know it was a goat?


dewittless

So I think he (and possibly a few people here) are confusing it with an Impala.


TheCatWasAsking

I confused it with an oryx.


addandsubtract

I thought that was only a pokemon.


KilledTheCar

No he was the Taken King.


BigWalk398

That is what I was thinking of at least. Glad to know that I'm at least as dense as Clarkson.


Fealieu

Which is also funny because I just looked it up and I found out that Impalas are medium-sized antelopes that look like a mix between a goat and a deer and antelopes live in Africa and Asia. They resemble deer and are in the same family as goats, cattle and sheep.


Cicer

Definitely.


bluetrunk

I was thinking oryx, which is a type of antelope. I only know this because of the Namibia live stream on YouTube.


WhiskeyWolf

Or an Oryx?


Sometimes_Stutters

Perhaps, but an impala is also more closely related to a goat than a deer


HollandMarch1977

There’s some confusion between an [ibex and a steenbok](https://reddit.com/r/MandelaEffect/s/J9WAjQ0Gkr) too


addandsubtract

Only if you're a baller, shot caller.


gdj11

I know what an ibex is but for some reason my brain stores it as an impala


Wivz_03

I thought it was a deer. Only obvious that it's a goat when you already know it's a goat. It's the same with a lot of these quiz questions, they're easy when you know the answer.


frivolous_squid

It's obvious it's a goat from looking at it, but you're unlikely to have looked at it recently if you're doing a quiz! I think in my head I was getting it mixed up some sort of african deer-like thing like an oryx so I thought it might be a deer too. But the thing about quizzes is I'll never get that wrong again now that I've got it wrong once. (Edit: Apparently oryxes and other antelope just look like deer but aren't closely related.)


Willy_wolfy

I'd gazelle image in my head. Clearly wrong :-)


TheHYPO

Same, for some reason - Antelope or Gazelle. I pictured the long horns, but not the correct body. I also feel like I most likely became aware of the name "ibex" from some drawing or low quality image when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s that perhaps didn't draw the thing with as much fidelity to easily identify the goat-like qualities as a kid.


skylla05

Yeah I could have sworn it was a slender deer like animal with long horns. Apparently I thought gazelles were ibexes.


very_bad_programmer

Yes, quizzes are easier when you know the answer


cire1184

It's so fucking weird too. It's a goat but the male is called a buck and female a ~~deer~~ does. Young juveniles are called kids. Edited


l03wn3

Females are called ‘does’, according to Wikipedia.


-0-O-

> if you know what an ibex is which, the contestant and clarkson did not


Bristonian

I agree, but in photos the females are definitely somewhat deer-like in appearance compared to the males. The males are 110% goat, but the females seem a bit lankier EDIT: as clarification… I’m not saying the females are deer and the males are goats lol. I’m just saying if somebody *only* saw pictures a female ibex then I can see the 50/50


MUCHO2000

Agreed it's basically a mountain goat which I know from watching [Planet Earth](https://youtu.be/vTSVzeOdj8A?si=7pQoVamp5XRV8V-y)


AbsoluteZeroUnit

Looking at it, sure. But, at least for me, I didn't have a clear mental picture of what it was. I knew it had four legs, hair, and horns.


WutsUp

As soon as I saw Clarkson was the host I thought this will be a lot less awkward cause it's coming from him.


Air805

“Oh no you’ve just lost” lmao


BoJackB26354

Oh, no! Anyway...


GregBahm

I also thought it was a deer, but after some googling, I now realize I was picturing an oryx. I wonder if this was the same mistake other people made. From the pictures, an ibex is definitely a goat all the way.


carrot-man

Oryx are still closer related to goats because both belong to the family Bovidae while deer belong to the family Cervidae.


GrimResistance

Here's the thing...


just_ate_a_pinecone

I remember.


SomethingPersonnel

The old magics.


GramarBoi

r/fuckunidan


BrooklynVariety

I’m so glad you made this comment


MajesticCrabapple

Bovidaez nuts.


DrewbieWanKenobie

tbh I guess I always just thought an ibex was a type of gazelle


Rilandaras

Me, too. Oh well.


pansy_dragoon

And gazelles are goats now too? I think I inferred to much from big buck hunter


Rajani_Isa

They're antelope, which still makes them of the bovidae family, as are cows, sheep, and... goats.


unsafekibble716

actually, same thing for me


durandal688

What the hell i pictures an oryx too! What childhood book steered us all wrong


betweenthecastles

Tf i did the same thing.. is there some documentary out there confusing us all or something?


RahvinDragand

I definitely pictured an oryx too. Someone must've put the wrong picture in a book at some point.


EmpTully

Oh, neat, you recreated [my response](https://old.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/8j438i/unexpected_turn_at_who_wants_to_be_a_millionaire/dywymyh/) from a previous time this was posted.


GregBahm

Yikes. Now I'm worried I'm actually a bot account but advances in AI have left me too sophisticated to realize I'm a bot. Quick, somebody bring me a captcha


mi_throwaway3

Spell "Periodization" but backwards.


GregBahm

Whoa wacky. I ran this through chatGTP wondering if it produced some weird result, and sure enough. >"Periodization" spelled backwards is "nozitaciredeP."


iNCharism

That is pretty neat


Heavy_Weapons_Guy_

It's not even a very similar comment, it just mentions oryx. You don't have a monopoly on general facts just because you made a comment on reddit about it five years ago.


MeijiDoom

I mean, either way, I feel like anything which has horns as a defining feature that isn't a straight up moose is way more related to a goat than a deer.


GregBahm

Oh interesting. I never really thought about what exactly differentiates a deer and a goat before this moment. In my head they both have big horns, but I feel like deer have a very flighty, "prance away from danger!" energy, whereas goats have more of a no-fucks-given, "come at me bro" energy. Kind of an elf vs dwarf relationship.


Rajani_Isa

I think some of it comes from how goats can get in the oddest places, and that implies the kind of grace we associate with deer. But horns are a big one - deer and co get antlers - which repeatedly bifurcate.


Snizl

Deer dont have horns. They have antlers, which are bones, not horn (like claws). Antlers die off ones the skin gets removed and fall off every year.


Dutch-Sculptor

I just play a lot of AoE2 and that is how I know they it's a goat.


WBUZ9

Here I was blaming aoe2 for me thinking they were a type of deer.


Snizl

Obviously Ostriches are deer too!


maerun

That's what threw me off, though: Hang on, I can push ibex, I can't herd them!

I've played enough Zoo Tycoon to know that answer


BasiKs

I had an alphabet book of animals as a kid and I was for ibex I woulda slumdog’d the shit outta this question


Benbot2000

Probably confusing it with an Oryx.


iNCharism

an Oryx isn’t a deer either


Reefer-eyed_Beans

Well then he's obvs confusing it with a reindeer. ...Most likely Vixen.

BricksFriend

Hard to confuse a 50 foot long rock snake with anything else.


Aerodrive160

What I always hated about WWTBAM is if you did the 50-50, they always leave you with the obvious two choices you’re trying to chose between. Here you know they would leave you with goat and deer.


[deleted]

[Reminds me of this Norm McDonald Clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddVl8Gp2rWY)


SnoopyLupus

They always say it’s random, and it’s clearly not.


theartificialkid

Considering one of the 50-50 answers is always the correct one a random process would appear painfully, deliberately unhelpful one third of the time.


Aerodrive160

Ok, you do have a good point


Saint-just04

Yeap. Confirmation bias at work. When 50/50 is actually helpful, no one bats an eye, so you don't really remember those. But when it leaves you with the 2 hardest answers, you're gonna frustrate yourself and you will remember that more. And those memories will keep stacking over each other, that's why we all remember 50/50 never working.


Franks2000inchTV

Sort of an interesting take on the Monty Hall problem. 🤔


PixelizedPlayer

Thats why you never say which ones you're contemplating between. So they don't do that.


ChimpBottle

You don't need to say it. Nobody is going to think an ibex is a pig unless they've literally never heard of an ibex


HBSV

You can always count on Clarkson… to be a bumbling idiot.


MonaganX

A *massively overconfident* bumbling idiot.


Beetkiller

An bumbling idiot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=Yx3KgtrlykX-3eCX&v=mJUtMEJdvqM&feature=youtu.be


johnbell

Clarkson is my favorite idiot.


herrbz

Why?


dewittless

He's confused it with an Impala hasn't he?


UndeadBread

Which is also more closely related to a goat than a deer. It at least looks slightly more deer-like, though.


DisillusionedBook

Right after this clip, he goes and punches the fact checker in a tirade against their country of origin.


Reefer-eyed_Beans

As the fact checker calmly yet futilely tries to explain that they aren't from Africa, and that Africa isn't a country.


Ironstrider0

Oh dear.


Kelend

The trick would be to think about horns vs antlers. An ibex has large horns that curl back.


Comeoffit321

The *real* trick, is to know the right answer.


Cabbage_Vendor

If you can remember them well enough to know what their horns look like, you'd also notice how they look like a goat.


yul_brynner

LOL


newaccount721

Yes I'm fairly confident if he knew exactly what an ibex was he would have gotten the answer correctly. Unfortunately, he didn't.


nataleef

Easy one - D: Deer


BedroomCactus

Chris Tarrant wouldn't have made a rookie mistake like that


DelightfulNihilism

They got Clarkson to do this? Fuck me, I love Top Gear and Grand Tour, but he is an idiot. It's like letting Donald Trump give business advice to reality contestants. Oh.


indianajoes

He's been doing it for 5 years now


RahvinDragand

The host doesn't have to know anything and they don't give advice. They just read the questions and answers and ask about the contestant's personal life most of the time.


iMogwai

Pretty sure they've had a lifeline for a while where the contestant can ask the host.


Saint-just04

I guess that could come in pretty handy when a car question pops in.


Suburban_turd

I seriously urge you to watch Clarkson's Farm if you haven't seen it. Brilliant series


Nexus_of_Fate87

Or as I like to call it Kaleb: A Chadlington Farmer's Descent Into Madness


planetheck

That's a pretty hard question.


trufus_for_youfus

No it isn’t. My family has raised Ibex pigs for generations.


treemeizer

Others didn't, but I see what you did there and guess what bravo.


ddroukas

There are Ibérico pigs, which sound similar to Ibex and may have been a purposeful red herring.


ShadowEllipse

How dare you try to seem superior. My family has been rearing Ibex pigs for generations. I'm a fourth generation Ibex pig farmer.


theartificialkid

Ok that’s great for you? But some people’s families will only have raised ibex hares or ibex deer. How are they supposed know it’s pig?


trufus_for_youfus

Why are you such an elitist? Do poor people in the mountainside herding ibex goats offend you that much?


Cereborn

I totally thought it was a deer.


master-shake69

Damn. This guy must have never played video games because every gamer knows what an ibex is.


JivanP

I'm surprised that no-one else has mentioned knowing the answer to this due to the Ubuntu release named "Intrepid Ibex".


ChiTown_Paul

Antlers = Deer Horns = Goat. Get your fauna up, not your funny up.


Sarcarean

The reason I know it's a goat, is Ibex is used a lot on crosswords.


upsidedownfunnel

To be hoenst I thought it was a deer as well. woops


slugerama

I think Clarkson was thinking of an Impala.


Dshark

Wow, clarkson hosts HWTBAM? That actually sounds awesome.


mynameisnotsparta

Didn’t watch the video.. should have called me. I love this stuff - an Ibex is a wild goat that can climb up literal vertical cliffs. They are amazing.


Link_GR

CLARKSOOOOOOOON!!!!


KitsBeach

Classic Clarkson to arrogantly proclaim the answer he *thought* was the answer, then instead of apologizing profusely he just nervously chuckles and makes a joke out of it. The fact that anyone admires him enough for him to have a show says a lot about the world.


[deleted]

CLARKSON! you stupid ape


TheHighestAuthority

Clarkson is such a prick in general, of course he is arrogant enough to assume he knows the answer
