The Office was first broadcast in 2001. In the UK, where it was created.

It's funny how Americans think their stuff should be iconic for the rest of the world. Super Bowl or World series? MC Donald's or KFC? Who cares????? It's not "iconic".

Or the two donut shops. I don't even remember their names, but I guessed correctly anyway, lol

Thomas Edison didn’t invent the light bulb. They were around since the 1830’s. He patented one that worked but he did not invent them.

I missed that it said "movies". The lotr books are decades older.

BP you showed an interesting question at the board as a clickbait, then the first question was "what came first Mc Donalds or KFC"? Wtf!? Just left right away on the spot. Shittification is hitting hard here...

A lot of these questions were BS. They were either USA orientated, or weighted heavily to pop music and silly cartoon shows, of which I have no knowledge. Why doesn't BP have a good general knowledge/history quiz which people from around the world could take ?
