The ‘Bad Teacher’ Meme Is Our Fave Jan Meme (So Far) And Teaches Some Important Lessons
While we’re barely into 2018, there’s already fresh dank memes for us to send our m8s.
One of our faves to emerge so far is one being called the ‘bad teacher’ meme. It not only makes us lol but teaches us all some important lessons.
To explain the text-heavy meme briefly, it starts with a teacher asking a group of students if they’re ready for a lesson. Different experts who are supposedly sitting in on class respond with a variety of emotions. The final punchline comes as the teacher turns out to be humorous and/or unexpected protagonist. It’s tricky to explain without just showing an example.
Here’s a good one to get ya noggin around it:
“Are you ready for your music lessons?”
Freddie Mercury gulped.
Mozart nodded.
Elvis shuddered.
Mariah blinked nervously.
“Yes Crazy Frog.” they said in unison.
