There's 50 stars on the flag because we have 50 States. Everyone is taught this in like 5th grade. I refuse to believe there are that many people in this country who believe that. Maybe internationally, but not in this country.
I've been surprised by how stupid people are before though.

They're not asked about states, but close analogue, how many stars on the flag?

Edit: Flag question starts around 15 seconds and is mentioned a couple times later in the video as well.

Actually, the 52 states line refers to Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, which are part of our Government and territory, but not counted among the States. Why, I have no idea, but surly it's for some fucked up voting/tax reason. Puerto Ricans are technically American citizens because of this. Many people have tried to advocate to get these officially listed as States, but have of course failed.
The more you know!
Hmm, perhaps the "ooh" is him saying "you didn't think I knew that, did ya, bitch!?"
Honestly, when I was a kid I thought Alaska and Hawaii were easily overlooked and made up 52. I made the mistake assuming they aren't always included in the state count for some reason. Perhaps thats what he thought. I'd love that question to come up in an interview, lol.
I like my first theory more than the second.

He says "oooh!" right afterwards. To me that always came across that he knew there was only 50 States and that he was wrong and saying the exasperation to signify that.

The character of Violent J is kind of sort of breaking the fourth wall. Like "hahaha, I fudged the line, guys". At least that's how I always heard it. A much clearer example happens during I Want My Shit. They've used that type of joke a few times over now.
Also, you talkin about the dude that once claimed that a toxic waste barrel that he had an ongoing relationship with gave him "skiffulufigus". You think he thinks that's a real disease or that a toxic waste barrel can trick someone into thinking that it's a lady of the evening?
More to your point, other than in that song I've never heard of people thinking that there are 52 states. Statistically there has to be people that think that in the U.S. but we also had a president that thought the earth was hollow. That doesn't mean there's an alternate reality wherein the earth is hollow and John Adams somehow came thru a wormhole into this reality. It just means that we live on a blue rock littered with idiots.
