A new game show hosted by Jeff Foxworthy on FOX that takes adults and subjects them to elementary level questions. There are ten questions contestants must answer, for increasing amounts of money. There are two questions for each grade level from 1st through 5th. The questions have varying subjects, such as 1st grade astronomy or 3rd grade world geography. If all are answered correctly, the contestant must answer one final question to get the $1000000 prize.
The contestant has 5 'classmates', who are all real life 5th graders. For every two questions, the contestant can pick a classmate to come up on stage with him/her. After two questions, the contestant picks another classmate to come up. The classmates help the contestant through the use of 3 'cheats'. PEEK: Contestant looks at classmate's answer and decides whether or not to go with it. COPY: Without looking at classmate's answer, the contestant MUST go with it. SAVE: If the contestant gets the answer wrong, but the classmate gets it right, the contestant is still in the game. Each can only be used once. After all cheats are used, the classmates no longer go on stage. Contestants may drop out before they answer a question and leave with the money won. If they get an answer wrong, and are not saved, they lose all money won and must face the camera, saying "I am NOT smarter than a 5th grader". However, if they've passed the $25000 (5th) question, they will leave with the $25000.
IMAO, this show is quite notorious for featuring dipshit people that apparently don't know very simple things, like what the Mayflower is.

Jeff: Now back to 'Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?'. Okay, 3rd question. What subject do you want to tackle next, for $5000?
Contestant: I'm gonna take 4th grade world geography please!
Jeff: Okay, what is the only continent that is also a country?
*classmate locks in answer*
Jeff: Well, your classmate has already answered...
Contestant: Well, this is a toughy for sure! Um, well...
Me (at TV): You dumb motherfucker! It's obviously Australia!!
Contestant: I think I may need to copy.

A Lot of people older than people in seventh grade give 7th graders a bad reputation. I just got out of 7th grade and it is HELL. I do agree with a lot of definitions for this word, though. A lot of 7th graders DO start drama, and a lot of them do it on purpose. A lot of them ARE immature and make stupid sexual and sexist jokes. AND many of them think they are in love and can date. Obviously, as a recent seventh grader, many people in my class have dated people and I understand that sometimes you will find someone you want to date. That dosent mean your in love. Chances are, you two will be broken up within a couple days. These definitions dont go for all seventh graders though, because so of them are pretty cool. Its RARE though. (And yea, a lot of them are wannabe emos.) But I know I dont fit this definition, because I hate drama, and Im friends with a lot of people older than me who I dont think I annoy. Some 7th graders arent obsessed with Justin Bieber, etc. Some like all different types of music, Me, personally metal. There should be way more than one definition of a seventh grader, because not all of them are annoying, sexist pigs. (But a lot are.)
High Schooler: Hey, guess what? Seventh graders are annoying and immature, and are way too obsessed with trying to be emo!
7th Grader: Not all of them, some are pretty cool.
High Schooler: Nahh dont think so.

Get the Gridger mug.A creature of plight that dwells near the same location of The Shaw. Like it's neighbor, The Gideon possesses a great odor of the mouth. Most beings that come into contact with The Gideon are forever scarred if not outright terminated. Unlike its distant relative, The Gideon has only one useful appendage. All others are limited to a specific purpose. The most questionable appendage is that of a globe-like entity on what should be a neck. It appears to control all movement although that fact is widely disputed by scientists. Most all researchers do agree that this creature is not at all intelligent and fails in any attempts to disguise the inept abilities it possesses.
