These Hilarious Class Clowns Took Their Teachers To School
The class clown is an essential member of every school. They offer a bit of relief from the usual day-to-day routine, and a much-needed break from all that “learning” that likes to pretend it’s so important.
I mean, what would you rather do, laugh or learn? Is that really even a question? The Redditors below witnessed some of the greatest class clowns of all time.
From amazing pranks to impeccably timed witticisms, they brought smiles to everyone’s faces, teachers often included!
Class Clown Stories
1. Like, Science, Scoob
In high school biology, a guy who was known for being a pretty good voice actor was reading a page on the properties of fungi in multiple impressions and making everyone laugh. He often got picked to read after that, and never disappointed.
We’ve had: Yogi Bear, Irish guy, Disney princess, Shaggy, Scottish guy, Patrick Warburton, and many more.
Before he graduated, his voice was also recorded for phone messages informing of school events, school voicemail, and MC for many school events.
2. Primped & Groomed
We had a teacher, Mr. A, who was very strict, very serious, very high regard for himself, very Italian. This man rocked the thickest mustache I had ever seen. Nothing "fancy," no handlebars or waxed works of art.
Just a full, glorious 'stache that Burt Reynolds would envy. We had been working with fun fur (thick & bushy fur) for an art project. Another kid and I jokingly made faux mustaches out of it and used double-sided tape to wear them.
The art teacher, who was young and new to the profession, kinda-sorta dared us to wear them to Mr. A's class. We went one step further. We made mustaches for everyone. Mr.
A typically strode into the classroom with disregard for all of us until he had written whatever was important for that day on the board. Somehow a class full of dumb 9th graders managed to keep our heads down and not laugh.
We waited for that moment when he turned to face us.... It could not have been more perfect. The absolute stunned look on his face, followed by the loudest not laugh, but straight out guffaw. He loved it and insisted we keep them on for the whole class. Almost 20 years later and that moment is still clear as day in my memory.
3. The Ultimate Question
On the first day of my Psych class, the professor asked that everyone introduce themselves and tell everyone why they chose to take the class. About 40 or so students introduced themselves and gave a few variations of the same reason: "Because I need this class to transfer." When it was my turn, I decided to shake things up. I deadpanned the following: "My name is katalyst_ and I am here because I want to know why my ex was so crazy."
Hilarity ensued.
