Humor can be a powerful tool in the classroom. For example, Randy Garner, Ph.D., a psychologist at Sam Houston State University, found that students were more likely to recall a statistics lecture when it was interjected with jokes about relevant topics.

And sometimes, it can make the teacher's day too. Reddit user u/KDwiththeFXD recently shared a heartwarming and funny anecdote on r/Teachers, proving just how unpredictable kids can be.

It all began when u/KDwiththeFXD was subbing in a lower-achieving high school. A student, who happened to have developmental issues, became the target of a bully's remarks. The teacher was about to intervene and defend the student, but they quickly snapped back themselves, saying, "I am in here for a reason, and I have an excuse. You're here and failing because you're just dumb."

Unable to maintain a serious demeanor, u/KDwiththeFXD burst into laughter, leaving the bully feeling embarrassed and rendering them speechless for the remainder of the class. As the comments on the post poured in, many fellow educators shared their own hilarious encounters. Continue scrolling to check them out.

45 Times Students Delivered Jokes So Good, Their Teachers Couldn't Help But Laugh I have a very quiet super studious girl in my rowdiest class full of athletes. She keeps to herself, gets her work done and is generally my favorite kid ever. One day, the athletes were exceptionally horrible and I happened to walk by her as she muttered to herself "God your moms should have all swallowed"

I snorted coffee out of my nose. No one else heard. She was mortified that I heard her.

    My class is prepping for a play, and one student was super pumped to do the sound design. He came up to me with his chromebook and airpods and said, "Here, listen to this sound effect, I think it would be perfect," so I put in the airpod and heard......

    Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up."

    The kid Rick-Rolled me.

    Two kids with the same first name in one class. One was chronically absent. I’d call his name and the other one would say “maybe he died.” This went on for a few weeks. One day, chronically absent kid shows up and other kid says, just audibly enough for me to hear, “I murdered the wrong one.”

    I was ROLLING and no one else in the room new why.

    Yesterday at the bake sale fundraiser my friend picked out an ugly looking cupcake and says "she's not the prettiest girl at the dance but she'll do".

    The most innocent student in the world replies "as long as she tastes good". The kid had no idea what she had said. Closest I've ever come to legitimately choking on food in my life.

    I play bass and teach general music. Since I’m teaching my third graders the instrument families right now, I figured I would show them a video of me playing bass. So it was a duet with my Asian male friend, and myself, a Caucasian female wearing a dress in the video. Conversation goes like this:
    “OMG! Is that you?”
    “Yes, it is!”
    “Which one?!”

    I should also note I’m seven months pregnant, so the idea that I look like an Asian man just killed me and I couldn’t stop laughing

    Small class (4) the other 22 went on a field trip for the advanced kids. Well, wasn’t teaching new content with the large majority of students not there……

    The handful of kids wanted to play history hangman…..so, with the students guessing letters and missing over and over and over, one of the girls quickly said, “This is why we ain’t on the field trip!”

    I laughed out loud. Told her thank you for making me smile, that was the best joke I heard all year. Gave her candy. Top 5 moment of this year.

    Just as bad is that the teacher didn't teach new content. The teacher should have presented an activity that would provide knowledge not necessarily in the curriculum but related to it. How often do you get to work with 4 students so that you could do some fun work that you can't do when the class is full? Enrichment for the kids with the other multiple intelligences. A treasure hunt using maps and clues based on math, vocabulary... Painting or drawing using the exquisite corps technique where they start and then switch paintings, adding to the new one and then again and again. Always respecting the work done by the previous painters and trying enhance the concept. Or what about just posting a quotation or a few on the board and let each student choose one to use as a basis for art, poetry, building, their own short story...the possibilities are endless and not hangman.

    My son got left behind for the big end-of-year trip in fifth grade because he had a habit of not turning his homework in. This particular teacher (i did not know this at the time, child told me a year later) had singled out my child and browbeat him for the entire year. At one point, this piece of garbage said to my ten year-old, "You're not even worth my time." The light went out in my son's eyes that year. He struggled and made random attempts throughout the years, but with COVID taking kids out of the classroom, my poor kid was just out. I sat with him for his classes, but I could tell he just wasn't there. He dropped out mid-year tenth grade, and never looked back. It breaks my heart.

    I think the fact they have a trip for the ‘advanced’ students is really weird. You’re singling people out and basically saying they’re too stupid to go on a trip with all the other students. No one is more of less clever than anyone else. Some people just work harder, and some understand it all really easily. For example, someone might work really hard on something but can’t understand it and needs help, but someone might not try at all but get it right away. If anything, you should take the students who need support on the trip, to help them. I have dyscalculia (dyslexia but with number) so numbers mix up in my head or visually, and I find it really hard to do maths and it really stresses me out. But when I actually understand something I’m really good at it. Just because I don’t get it straight away and I find it difficult doesn’t mean I stupid and ‘less advanced.’ It just means I need support. So basically, this is f*****d up.

    i think it was just a coincidence that that class had so many kids who counted as "advanced" and not a few kids in the school who weren't based on the way its written. gifted programs take field trips, that's normal in most schools i know of. though my school wasn't creative with them lol. in fifth grade we got to go to martin's (giant/an american grocery store) lmao. we got martin's sunglasses though lol

    Wow. The number of "everyone gets a trophy" posts is surprising. Well, maybe not. I have no idea how this district arranges classes (and neither do any of you). In my county students are in gifted, regular or remedial. So entire classes are on the same syllabus. The next county over mixes them together. So you could have say 5 gifted students (who require different lessons and have iep's), 15 typically developing and 5 lower performing students (for whatever reason - special needs, not neurotypical or esl students who also all have iep's) - and what a mess for those teachers. So if the gifted group has a field trip (and our gifted tend to have more field trips as we need to challenge them) so if you have mixed classes, one group would be absent. It does sound odd that 22 would be an a filed trip, but I don't know the background here and would prefer not to judge. I guess that's just me.

    Very things are more abusive than to separate kids according to their "perceived" abilities. Schools are notorious for doing that and hearing stories from some adults, these tactics can leave lasting trauma to a child's self-esteem.

    It’s my user name story! I created an account just to tell this story.

    Little pre-K boy was arguing with an assistant teacher (who shouldn’t have been a teacher for many reasons, one being she was okay arguing with a 4yo). She told the kid something like, “you smell like doo doo.” He responded with, “well you smell like dried lipstick.” And he had just the smuggest look on his face and I died laughing. He won the argument in my book.

    But also any adult who argues with a 4yo has already lost because you’re arguing with a 4yo.

    I have a lot but heres a good one

    We were talking about favorite foods one day and this one 9th grader said he loved pickles.

    So the other kids in the class started asking him if he liked things like pickled beets, pickled onions, etc...he said yes to every single pickled thing they asked him.

    I asked if he'd ever tried pickled cucumbers and he said he didn't know they made those...lost my composure and had to be helped back to my feet after that one

    So far my favorite is when, early in the semester, I told students that we would be learning Latin dances (spanish teacher.) turns out a student misheard me, so after a month or so of classes while we have down time this one girl just blurts out “ so when are you going to teach us how to lap dance?”

    "Chicken wings are a side dish."

    Entirely innocuous, but the whole class dropped what they were doing when they heard it, and we proceeded to debate for, legit, 45 minutes.

    IMO..... Chicken wings can serve as an appetizer..... But can also be the main course.......I need to look into making dessert wings.

    Teaching 8th grade - I had two really heavy-set boys in this class. They were told to give a presentation on their dream jobs.

    The heaviest of the two went first and said verbatim “My dream is to be a famous chef, it is a dream I have with such a fiery passion. Just like Steven’s dream is to swim in a swimming pool…filled with fried chicken.”

    I lost it.

    3rd grader was running from point a to point b. The way third graders just can’t stop doing. “Friends please slow down, it’s muddy out here today…” as if on cue, the friend with the big body he has yet to grow into falls literally over himself. Body out, mud all over his pants. Not hurt. Just a hot mess. “Friend, are you alright”. Kids looks up. Dead pan. “I hate my life..”. I still laugh (like I did under my mask then ) thinking about it to this day.

    These 2 boys were beefing over early morning basketball and one tells me "Apparently I broke his vertebrae, insulted his personal image, and airballed every shot! This is why you don't drink during pregnancy!" Another time 8th grade girls were talking astrology and one boy just shouts "STOP SPEAKING IN MOON RUNES"

    Recently I was discussing something with my high school seniors and someone used the word "tragedies." Without skipping a beat, the quiet kid next to him whispers "trage-deez-nuts" during one of those inexplicably silent moments that sometimes happen in a crowded room. I laughed my a*s off and everybody then had permission to crack up.

    Reminds me of the ancient Greek hero Bophedes, who was impervious to harm everywhere except his genitals. Many have told the sad tale of Bophedes' nuts.

    We were discussing Darwin's Theory of Evolution. I mentioned how most offspring never survive long enough to reproduce.

    One of my students raises his hand and says "you mean they all die as virgins?".

    I worked with a student who had Prader-Willi Syndrome (and the resulting behaviors). He peed on the floor, looked at us and said " TADAAAAAA". I had to walk away to laugh.

    Apparently it is a genetic disorder that, among other things, causes constant hunger that often results in childhood obesity and diabetes and some intellectual impairment and behavioral problems.

    This week a 4th grader said to a classmate, "bro, look at you. You're sweating. That's proof you're doing too much."

    A 5th grader: "Home Depot, we have the meats."

    And a 3rd grader, explaining why they don't like kiwi: "it has hair... Like a woman."

    I think the home depot one is a reference (or perhaps an accidental mix-up) of the Arby's (fast food chain) slogan "Arby's, we have the meats"

    A 2nd/3rd grade class in one of the schools I used to work in voted on their classroom slogan and chose “we have the meats.” I thought this was hilarious.

    There sure are a lot of Arby's references in this post. I didn't realize it was so popular with the youths these days.
