Oh, those carefree school days... The cringe was so real that well into our adulthood, we still relive it while we sleep. Although most of the embarrassing stuff that only a thought of it turns us bright red still to this day happened to us and our friends, teachers were not immune to making fun of themselves in front of the whole class.

So when Jimmy Fallon announced his new #MyTeacherIsFunny challenge and asked everyone to tweet the funniest, weirdest and most embarrassing things their teacher has done or said, the answers started pouring in one by one, each better than the previous one.

From a 9th grade teacher who would tell kids to close the blinds every Monday only for them to realize he was hungover, to a teacher who kept a jar of chewed gum on his desk, here are some of the most entertaining stories featuring teacher quirks and school antics. Don’t say you don’t miss it a tiny bit. Just kiddin’.

My senior year in high school I took Music Theory class. Every Friday we had a "listening party" where the teacher brought in cookies and drinks and put on classical music. He would then tell us interesting stories of all kinds of things. Thank you Mr. Matina for making what could have been a boring subject extremely fun!! 🎵

A friend of mine is a teacher for Latin and old greek, sometimes he makes "glacial excursions" meaning he visits an ice cream parlor.

    I fell asleep in HS French, woke with a start just before the bell to laughing classmates. Found out teacher had silenced the class and lack of noise woke me.

    One time, someone fell asleep in the sixth grade room, and the teacher got the ENTIRE CLASS to scream as loud as they could to wake him up. He jumped out of his chair, tripped over a backpack, and quite literally fell into the lap of his friend. The fifth grade class (mine) next door was very alarmed- even more so when we piled up at the window to see a kid lying across another's lap while the teacher was crying with laughter.

    That ain't funny because only a few times i have been so tired and stressed out and my only way to survive was to fall asleep. When i woke up again, for the first few minutes i didn't know what day it was. That is a weird and scary feeling. It is not funny.

    My dad was 7 years younger than his twin brothers. When he entered his first class, English, on his first day of high school, the teacher came to his name and went read in the face and started screaming "out, out, I refuse to teach another Brookshire spawn".

    Our wood shop teacher banged a piece of 4x4 on the table on our first day and said “what’s harder your fingers or this piece of wood? “ We all said “the wood”. He then pushed the wood through the industrial jig saw and it sawed through the wood like a hot knife through butter. He looked at us and said “If that machine can do that to wood think what it can do to you. Keep away from it unless I’m there beside you.” Great way to learn a valuable lesson.

    If he hadn't been their teacher (like if he was just a friend, who said the same thing), the most appropriate and hilarious reply to the first one would have been, "That was a sausage in your pocket? Oh. I though you were just happy to see me."

    See, I don't get this as a teacher myself. Now you have a potential parent calling that you took and lost their child's property, intentionally. The punishment doesn't fit the crime. I think its wiser to just hand them a pencil and ask them to use that instead. Most students aren't even aware they are clicking it.

    I really think this is something a teacher would do in the 90's! Back then i don't remember any parent coming to yell to the teacher! they were embarrassed and coming home to yell to the kids! Now you see them running at school for absolutely no reason, harassing the teachers and showing their kids that their behaviour can be left unpunished and the teacher will be in trouble (not talking about this particular behaviour with the pen which is not serious of course)

    I asked my high school German teacher about the bad words, so she had me look them up in the German-English/English-German dictionary, write them down, and give her my notes. She carved out 15 minutes at the beginning of the next class to teach us how to cuss like German sailors, then told us not to tell on her for it. As far as I know, no one did. I figured it was OK to tell about it now, since it happened in 1977 (I graduated in 1978).

    When I was admitted to the Ph.D. program I had to sit through an inquisition with the Department faculty. I was the only grad student who didn't have to take and pass a foreign language exam because I had years of German with a B average and one of my other degrees was in Russian language. One of the professors, a real asshole, said "can you translate Russian?" And I said "I have a degree in Russian language." He kept hounding me and finally I said "Da, ya gavaroo Russki tbi sinka sin." Yes, I speak Russian you son of a bitch" Fortunately, his languages were non-existent, certainly not Russian.

    My Spanish teacher wouldn't even admit that she knew what "cerveza" meant, when I asked. And she'd lived in Spain. She wore ankle length skirts with thick opaque tights, and long sleeved blouses buttoned all the way up to her neck, often with sweaters on top, even in the hot Summertime. And she only taught us Castilian Spanish, which is the proper, formal dialect used in Spain. Not quite as useful with those who use Mexican Spanish, which is what most of the Latinos in the US (or at least most of the ones I've met) speak. They still understand most of it, but it would be like someone from Spain learning British English, and speaking to an American. They both use different words used for the same item. For example, in Britain, you might say lorry, instead of truck, like we do in the US. In Castilian Spanish, coche means car. But a person who speaks Mexican Spanish would instead say carro. So it can be awkward at the least, and can also lead to confusion, or even to you looking silly for trying to speak to them, and using the wrong words.

    Anyway, I went off on a tangent, lol. But my point was, my Spanish teacher would NEVER have taught us bad words. Though I wish she would have! But it's okay, I've since learned them on my own LOL. ETA-No, I don't think she wore her long clothes for religious reasons. I think she was just kind of a prude. Though I could be wrong. Still, other than the above, she was a nice lady, and I liked her well enough. Oh, and "cerveza" means "beer", for anyone who was curious but didn't feel like googling, lol.

Then they went out shopping and started conversing in french asking "what about him?" The daughter then replied in french "yes, he is hot" . The guy must have understood because he turned round, smiles and said "mercy beacoup".

    I got in trouble in HS for just getting up, saying I'll be right back and leaving to use the restroom. Got called to the Principal's office. My response was, "I'm 16 years old and fully aware of when I need to pee. I really don't see that I need to announce my intent or get permission to use the facilities". The teacher was actually given a reprimand for wasting the Principal's time..

    My son is a high school yearbook and journalism teacher and when he got tired of students asking to use the restroom, he devised a new bathroom pass… it’s a 1.5 ft (≈1/2 m) x 3 ft (≈1 m) board that reads “Toilet Trivia: Which parts of this bathroom pass did the previous pooper touch before they washed their hands?” His students almost always choose to use the restroom before or after his class now. :-)

    Our Earth Science teacher ( Mr. Bean, who straight looked like a leprechaun) told us he graded while drunk, which I believe and I know another teacher always had "orange juice" in class. I was his grading assistant in the free period and my friend came in to hang and we tested the "orange juice". It was def a screwdriver. Though after 10 years in the classroom I can sort sympathize.

When I was 11 yo, I was sent to "direction" in math class for being rude *only was asleep in class because I have sleep misconduct* Several years later my dad told me as kind of joke that that teacher went with my half-brother to drink after classes, he was like fifteen at that time. From that time, I started to guess, he was trying to take revenge on me for something, don't know what or why. I was bad in math, but never a rude or "problematic" student, just average.

    I went to Catholic schools in the '70s. We had a nun who would grab her cross and yell "begone you demon child" if approached outside of the classroom. I used the same technique on my own children. When they were tattling or just whiny I would make the sign of the cross with my hands and scream "begone you demon child".

    In all the classes my professor Dr. Svendsen taught, he emphasized that you should never attempt to solve a problem until you understand the larger scope so you will focus on the problems that really matter. For my mammalogy final (senior spring semester), he passed out an 11 page final with one question at the top of each page with each question marked as 9 points for a 99 point test.. The questions were ridiculous like "Explain the various ecological niches for each of the 19 classes" and "Explain the embryonic growth of a placental mammal from egg to birth". Entire books could be written about each question. The last question on page 11 was worth 100 points. "What was/is the name of your favorite mammalian pet?' Answer that one and you got 100/99. His final life lesson as we were graduating was his mantra for the last 4 years. Years later I remember the others questions on that test only because they are part of the bigger lesson I really learned that day.

    I personally think large amounts of homework are worthless "busy" exercises. Students don't do it, I get frustrated, they are frustrated, it's all bad. I give very little homework and it is then done without a fuss and on the rare occasion they don't do it, my disappointed face has a lot more impact.

    There have been several studies recently which concluded that homework really doesn't help learning. That having been said, I think that essays do help learning, since they require you to research, formulate a concise viewpoint, and support it with facts, all written in with proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. But rote homework? Not so much.

    That's not to say that I think all homework is bad. I think non-traditional homework is best something that enhances what you learned. And sometimes just paper homework is required to make sure that students really understand the concept, because we don't always have the time we want or need in class to get it fully done.

    I wonder if this is the same teacher I had for Government who would demonstrate the difference between 1st, 2nd degree murder, manslaughter, etc by acting a scenario out for each, pretending his ex-wife was approaching him as he (pretend) used a chainsaw to cut down tree branches...sound effects and everything. It was an effective way to demonstrate why those charges were different. 30years later and I still remember

    We had a history teacher who, instead teaching us about old German history (he did teach us younger history!), grabbed his guitar and sang with us songs like "Eve of distraction" and teached us how to play chess. I don’t know anything about „August der Starke" but at least I don’t hate history and am an acceptable chess player.

    This is why you preview films before showing them. Though the only Spanish movie my high school owned was Babe the Pig. In college our teacher was Spanish and showed movies with violence and sex without blinking an eye

    Yes!! I'll never understand why we consider sex to be shocking but murders to be ok! Honestly I really hope kids would have more images of these scenes rather than the horrible scenes they see even in the news!

    My English teacher showed us Franco Zefirelli's Romeo and Juliet as a reward after we'd finished reading it. Guess she forgot about a steamy naked scene until it came on. I'll never forget the sight of a 60+ year old woman breaking a land-speed record to dive-bomb for that stop button!

    That's an important life lesson to learn about yourself. Will you cheat when no one is watching or will you follow the rules? Better to learn that in HS instead of when you have access to the company credit card and you get caught embezzling.

    I had a teacher in high school present an exam with college level questions for material on the government; Similar to what we'd been learning, but nothing we'd ever touched on. A few minutes in, another teacher poked her head in and said he was needed in the office, so he left and told us to just work silently until he got back. Naturally, as soon as he left, almost everyone ran for the text books across the room. When he got back, the teacher didn't say a word, walked to the front, and pulled a camera out from a pile of coats that's been there all year and says "Now...your real exam is to write me an essay tonight explaining why I shouldn't look at this tape according to laws we've been studying" Boom.

    I once saw some screenshots of a text that was between a student and her teacher. Basically, she wanted to make up for some late homework and asked for at least a C- if she managed to finish it all by a certain day. But autocorrect decided to be autocorrect and as it turned out she made a typo, replacing the word "make" with "sex" (a very unlikely typo and the whole conversation could have been fake, but still). The teacher responded, saying just the thought of her made him horny and agreed to do it after class at the back of the school. Then the student said that there was an autocorrect typo and she meant to say "make it up" not "sex it up". The teacher told her that he'd give her B+ if she never showed anyone those texts :'D

    Entirely the teacher‘s fault. Trying to convince students of something and then be surprised when they believe it. (And before anyone says this was too ridiculous to believe, I‘m sure everybody experienced situations where they learned something that seemed utterly unbelievable and yet was still true.)

    In the Air Force we were on an exercise and the intelligence officer banned us from watching the international cricket on the ops screen during start ups, so we told her she was late to work for the operation and she took off. Never gave us grief again because she was too ashamed to show her face being the intelligence officer who was fooled into believing the operation was two hours early

    My geography teacher had at his desk an old creaky wooden chair, he was an active energetic man and would often shift position as it squeaked and groaned - and the joints slowly moved further apart. And then one day the inevitable happened, just as the door opened slightly and the Headmaster (Principal if you're American) poked his head round, the chair finally collapsed, our teacher went down with it and yelled. "Aaagh my ass!!" Everyone exploded into laughter, even the Principal and the teacher himself
