For some, their English teacher was the reason they fell in love with English literature and linguistics. For others, their English professor was precisely why they dedicated their lives to the field of natural sciences instead. We bet the very first English jokes for teachers came from the second group of people. 

Whichever the case might be, good or bad, hilarious or not, we should all be grateful to our English teachers for guiding us on the extensive learning journey of the language spoken by over 1.5 billion people worldwide.

However, there’s one more thing that we should be grateful to our English tutors for. And that’s all the English jokes for teachers and puns worth getting an F for. Isn’t it ironic that we use the language they taught against them to make funny English teacher jokes? Oh, how the tables have turned. You better believe our English teachers would be proud of us for using this idiom!

However, don’t take these funny teacher jokes too seriously, but as tongue-in-cheek or light-hearted humor instead. And it’s very likely that the English professors themselves would have a good giggle at these puns for teachers. 

Below, we’ve compiled a list of funny jokes for teachers that will surely bring a bit of fun into the classroom or the mysterious place no student has ever stepped foot in, aka the teachers’ room. Whether it was a bad teacher experience or a hilarious mistake in the class, we bet you’ll find something relatable.

    Well, actually at the end of the sentence would be the release from custody, wouldn't it? The end of the sentenc*ing* (hearing) is a different thing entirely.

    So a baseball coach and an English teacher are watching a game in a bar. The coach gets up to go to the bathroom. He comes back 10 minutes later and sits next to his friend. He squints at the TV and says, "Bases are loaded, but who's on first?" The English teacher sighs and says, "I'm not getting into that tired old joke with you. And it's 'whom', not 'who'." The coach rolls his eyes and says, "How are you an English teacher?" The teacher says, "Why do you ask?" And the coach responds, "Because, joke aside, that's not even remotely the correct usage for 'whom'." The teacher rolls his eyes this time and says, "How are you a baseball coach?" The coach, of course, responds with, "Why do you ask?" The teacher says, "Because we're watching tennis."
