  3. Lunch Scholars went viral so quickly because people found the students answers funny because it is shows how Americans learning has gone downhill. Also because it is funny to watch people be completely stupid with common knowledge.

    I think that Lunch Scholars went viral because somebody submitted it to Daniel Tosh's website and he posted it. Daniel Tosh has millions of fans.

  6. Lunch Scholars went viral because the people that saw it were either enraged, disappointed, or amused by it. Basically they had strong feelings about it and decided to show other people, who also had strong feelings, and from there it had a snowball effect.

  16. This video went viral so quickly because it responded to a typical question that people ask "Are the generations slowly getting less educated?" I hear this question constantly going down the halls at school and on the news but also there is the question of, How many people were not asked that did know the questions. So I say that this is not a very reliable.
