These Test Answers Are Hilarious, But The Responses From Clever Teachers Are Even Funnier
Occasionally, students submit work so wildly unconventional that it practically invites a clever response from their teacher. Instead of tackling test questions, some choose to doodle, guess wildly, or even write heartfelt pleas for mercy—though begging has never been a secret formula for passing!
That said, you've got to give credit where it’s due—for creativity, if not for academic effort.
This Teacher Gives Up
This teacher decided it wasn't worth squinting at their student’s tiny handwriting and simply let the student grade their own work. Whether the student was honest about the score is anyone’s guess, but what stands out is the clever grading loophole they seem to have found in their quest for a good grade.
Of course, not every teacher would be so lenient with illegible writing—this essay might’ve easily earned a zero and taught a hard lesson. Instead, we’re treated to a dryly humorous teacher’s note about the challenges of getting older.
Not Everyone Is Meant For School
This teacher pushed their point to the max by stapling a McDonald's job application to the back of the student’s paper. Whether it was meant to motivate the student to put in more effort or offer a backup plan, it’s definitely a hilarious—and direct—way to send a message about their performance.
Rumor has it McDonald’s offers solid career paths for those willing to take on a new challenge, with plenty of opportunities to work up to general manager. Plus, the employee discount on the food alone might make filling out that application worthwhile!
Every Good Paper Needs An Ending
When it comes to writing a paper—whether in grade school or college—the conclusion is key. This teacher is probably wondering what happened to this student's final paragraph. The clever use of the classic "Y U No" meme as a stand-in is both hilarious and surprisingly well-drawn. It seems like this isn’t the teacher’s first time encountering this kind of creative “conclusion.”
Judging by the stack of papers beneath this one, the teacher clearly didn’t stop at just one funny comment. We’d be curious to see what other witty remarks or doodles they’ve left behind!
This Teacher Is Nothing But Honest
It's unclear what subject this student's test was meant to cover, but one thing is certain—it didn't go well. Knowing they were turning in a mess, the student preemptively apologized, warning the teacher that grading the test would be a grim ordeal.
The teacher didn’t disagree, and their reply made it clear that reading the test was just as painful as writing it. At least they shared a moment of mutual misery. Still, while the student ends up with a poor grade, the teacher has to live with the memory of having to grade it.
This Teacher Trolled His Students In The Best Way
This teacher launched a clever pre-emptive move against his students. He shared a file on the class network that seemed to offer full access to the answers for their upcoming test. But anyone curious enough to open it got the surprise of a lifetime—a sudden blast of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" music video.
The legendary “Rick Roll” is one of the earliest and funniest internet pranks. It originally surfaced around 2007, when users expecting a video game trailer were instead greeted by the song. This inventive teacher scores major points for bringing the classic prank from online right into the classroom!
If Only Math Class Was Cinema Class Instead...
This student clearly accepted defeat before even picking up their pencil. Their test felt like a never-ending trek through the desert—no answers in sight, just the distant hope of escape. To capture that struggle, they drew themselves crawling toward the classroom door, just shy of freedom.
But their teacher wasn't about to let the moment pass quietly. Channeling *The Lord of the Rings*, they fired back with a clever reference, letting the student know—like Gandalf at the bridge—"You shall not pass!" One hilarious drawing met its match with another, and honestly, this kind of witty comeback deserves a teacher-of-the-year nomination.
That One Time Nicholas Cage Made A Cameo
This student went with the bare minimum by stating the obvious: white cement is white. Technically correct? Sure. But when the question asked for three properties, "white" doesn't quite cut it. They could’ve gone with something like "hard," “dense,” or “commonly used in swimming pool construction”—all true and actually informative.
The teacher’s response? Perfectly sarcastic. Instead of a long explanation, they simply slapped on the iconic Nicolas Cage "You don’t say?" meme from *Vampire’s Kiss*. It’s the perfect reaction to an answer that’s not wrong… just wildly unhelpful.
When In Doubt, Give Dating Tips
This student clearly didn't prepare for the test, but they tried to soften the blow by admitting they hate science—though not the teacher—and even snuck in a request for dating advice. Bold move. It’s the academic equivalent of bombing an exam and still trying to walk out with some dignity (and maybe a life lesson).
The teacher’s response was the perfect mix of savage and supportive. While they rightfully handed out a zero, they still gave a sincere answer to the dating question *and* cleverly tied it back to the actual test question. That level of wit deserves extra credit, even if the student doesn’t.
When In Doubt, White It Out!
Jackie thought she had found a brilliant way around difficult test questions—by using whiteout to erase them entirely. Her logic seemed simple: no question, no problem.
Unfortunately, her plan didn't go unnoticed. Teachers usually remember how many questions they’ve assigned, and the faint outline under the chart made it pretty obvious something had been covered up. While it was a clever attempt, whiteout isn’t a substitute for studying. Maybe next time, Jackie will hit the books instead of the bottle... of correction fluid.
That's One Way To Combat Phone Use!
This clever instructor let his students know that it's not hard to tell when they are using their phones. After all, who stares at their crotch for that long? Who knows if his students stopped texting in class. What's important is he tried, and there is no greater lesson students can learn then it is always better to try then text. And to always look up when your teacher is lecturing.
It's clear from the picture that at least one student got the message. Her head is raised and she is paying attention to every word her teacher is about to say!
Saturn Is Not A "Single Lady"
Another student, another Beyonce reference. This hilarious teacher has had enough! The question asked on this test seems simple enough. Saturn has rings, most likely, because an icy moon got too close to the planet while orbiting it. The planet tore the ice moon apart, resulting in ice chunks that now orbit the planet as a ring.
This student made a funny guess, and their teacher gave a great response. Maybe next time the student will pay attention in class. This teacher obviously isn't giving points for guessing, or rings for that matter!
When In Doubt, Quiz Shame!
It is important to note that this teacher only publicly shamed students who were willing to have their reputations put on the line.
It's good when teachers have a sense of humor about these things. It's even better when students do too!
Beyonce Makes A Great Point
One of the biggest nightmares teachers have occurs when students turn in really good work and forget to put their names on it. This teacher gave their students a brilliant reminder to label their work appropriately. Beyonce sings, "If ya liked it then ya shoulda put on a ring on it," giving this teacher a brilliant canvas to create their own lyrics.
The images on the poster are absolute gold as well. Hopefully, this incredibly clever warning poster did its job. Just seeing it reminds us of the pain it caused realizing the one mistake we made was forgetting to put our names on papers in school!
