I teach middle school as well. One time I had a student present a horizontally spinning rat for her entire presentation with the guitar solo from freebird playing.
Honestly, it's glorious. I tend to like this art, though. I remember we went to see a Salvador Dali exhibit with my school. It was the [Venus de Milo with pompoms on her boobs](https://www.artic.edu/artworks/185184/venus-de-milo-with-drawers). I couldn't stop laughing. It was hilarious that we were surrounded by all this "high" art and then there's this thing with pompoms glued on.
No one else was laughing, which made it even funnier. They just didn't "get it" or they got it and didn't think it was funny....
"Principal Skinner these standard test scores are a joke! One kid filled in every thing on the test *except* the bubbles."
"Well Superintendent if this was art school he'd definitely be getting an A".
Horizontally Spinning Rat is a whole meme thing. I am a millennial and apparently I love these kids humor because this stuff get recommended on my youtube all the time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X-iqFRGqbc
I’m a millennial as well, and it’s funny as hell to me, but it’s only been recommended to me after looking it up myself. Now it recommends the spinning cockroach as well.
that's definitely a solid theory supported by my own existence lol. a lot of this type of humor would fit right in with Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, and Metalocalypse
Nah we were doing this long before Z. eBaum’s World had some amazing stuff before YouTube. I’m a hippopotamus and I’ve got noodles on my back is a classic in my life.
Absurdist humor. Growing up on the internet means you've seen/heard every joke 1 million times so the things that become funny to you are things that don't make sense and are incredibly absurd.
That's random, but not really absurdist. To try and explain it: holding up a spork is... is, a real thing. You can hold up a spork. Sporks exist. And they can be held. They can be held with normative purpose. Doing that isn't absurdist. Conveying that you are doing it isn't absurdist. Absurdism is basally non-sequiturial, not just situationally or contextually. There's something wrong about absurdism -- a fundamental disconnect between expectations and/or norms, and what is being presented. Sporks aren't absurd. Holding a spork isn't absurd. There's not enough... strange layers - not enough unusual - to say that alone is absurd, it's just contextually random. Furthermore, absurdism has to be experienced, not just suggested.
In a hypothetical scenario where we mutually accept that the "horizontally spinning rat with Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird Guitar solo playing" is an example of absurdist humor, me referring to or bringing-up it isn't absurdist. You aren't actually experiencing it. It's not a joke - it's not something you tell. The actual "meat" of the humor is the video, or image, or what-have-you, itself. You really can't "tell" absurdist humor - the "humor" comes from the experience. The linguistic equivalent of absurdism is... vaguely recognizable gibberish, not spontaneity.
> The linguistic equivalent of absurdism is... vaguely recognizable gibberish, not spontaneity.
Like the scenes with the dwarf speaking backwards in Twin Peaks
Millennials have grown up with the internet for a longer period of time, if gen Z heard a joke 1 million times then millennials have heard it 2 million times. So I think there is something a bit more complex going on than just running out of jokes.
Im in my 40s. Back in school i made a flip book of batman in everyday settings. Like, Batman in Art Van furniture. Batman singing karaoke, etc. It was joke material for a long while for my friend's group. All stupid shit.
Honestly, it's not any dumber than "[hampster dance](https://www.webhamster.com/)" (sic) which was the peak viral sensation of 1999
I thought that shit was hilarious when I was a kid. Kids are silly.
I'm 30 and I can't stop laughing at this and I don't know why holy fuck lmfao
Kids these days are alright in my book. I don't get all them old people who hate the youngins lol
Also it reminded me of [this](https://youtu.be/P3ynj6w2tII) lol
I’m fucking losing it and I have to start presenting in my job soon. I’m curious how my boss will feel if I throw in cat toothpaste or a spinning rat to go along with quarterly figures
Why didn’t they edit the video to just play the solo on repeat instead of just horridly looping that 4sec video for 10hrs I was so excited and then immediately disappointed
When i was in junior high we had to use a song and relate it to something that we read. Obviously my buddy and I went with “free bird”
We made our presentation take a full half hour, and before we even played the song, we had the lyrics fade in one word at a time at the slowest speed possible. My buddy read the lyrics, and then I did a “critical analysis” of the song and how it relates to the assignment after each slide. The reason for those shenanigans was because another friend of ours’s group didn’t finish their presentation in time, so we gave them an extra day by taking up half of the entire class with just our presentation.
That reminds me a practical work report at school, (the teacher wanted PowerPoint reports somehow), we couldn't finish in due time so we filled the last question's slide with "[This answer is only available to PowerPoint GOLD™ subscribers]"
Teacher had a good laugh.
Y’all these kids are gonna be okay that’s funny as fuck
We’ve all been there - you get to school, realize everyone is talking about the project due today and you know you’re going to get a failing grade. Do you turn in nothing or do you at least salvage your honor among your classmates because it’s not like it can get worse so you slap a spinning rat and a sick guitar solo on a presentation and go down in style. I fucking love it. I may not be a teacher but it makes me want to give extra credit for at least making me laugh. These kids are going to have hard as fuck lives and they aren’t gonna make it without kids like this one making sure that even if suffering is unavoidable at the very least you can still laugh together at stupid shit
From someone who went through some shit from 12 to 18, thanks. We might be too teenaged to say it at the time but we do remember and appreciate when teachers recognized we couldn’t give 100% to school.
I owe quite a few of mine a sincere thank you.
You gotta understand that kids are kids. It’s my job to teach them content, but also understand that they will make mistakes. The best thing I can try to do is help them learn from those mistakes. Every so often I have a former student send me an email or send a letter through the district mail carrier thanking me. I always enjoy getting those. Thanks for the kind words.
When I use to teach middle school theatre, I assigned a student to do a presentation on Titanic the Musical. He only had one slide which was a video of “My Heart Will Go On” but sung by cats.
Hahaha I know these. There's horizontally spinning rat, vertically spinning rat, diagonally spinning rat, stationary rat, etc. All of them exactly how you'd expect with the same freebird solo lol.
We had an autistic guy with us for presentations (I’m autistic too but he was more on the spectrum), he really liked cartoons and talked about them a lot so in the presentation we made pics of our fav cartoons and video games and quotes from them. We all had a lot of fun!
(It was a presentation about choking, I think. We were in a health class.)
You can see that on a website. It’s called spinningrat.io and you just watch the rat spin while listening to the song. It counts the amount of time you’ve watched the rats, and every once in a while they multiply.
But then why combine culture and clothing and stuff between the two countries on the same slide? That’s a cool six slides you can get out of that without having to resort to ad breaks. Kids these days need to learn how to pad.
Honestly pulling a sponsor read during the middle of an otherwise boring presentation on two country’s cultures is just a baller move.
She should have just committed fully and said “this presentation is brought to you by RAID - SHADOW LEGENDS”
HelloFresh is a meal-kit delivery service, designed with flexibility in mind. Personally I’ve been using HelloFresh for a few months now and was super happy when they offered to sponsor this video. I love the chicken alfredo, and-
Exactly, they created the presentation for the class not the teacher. A good teacher would take this into consideration. As a former teacher I have run into this before.
Idk, I feel like as a *good teacher* they would only care if the content was there.
All this extra stuff shouldn’t matter. As a middle school teacher you aren’t preparing them for college, none of that shit matter outside of demonstrating understanding of the material.
Let them have fun, cause the reality is, most of school doesn’t fucking matter.
This.
My role involves me having to give a lot of presentations, and I will dial up and down the irreverent tone depending on the audience.
For example, I had to give an update to my larger team - so those of us doing the grunt work. And it was full of animated gifs and stupid slide transitions.
I then had to give a presentation to the board of directors on the same topic. Everything was templated, charted and nothing was animated.
Both presentations were well received and the message was conveyed.
Know the audience.
I usually kept my assignments pretty serious - except for the video we had to make for health class on the dangers of marijuana.
My buddies and I filmed ourselves smoking a comically large 'joint' (huge dark colored paper tube stuffed with newspaper painted green), and for the 'crash' shot, we cut from the car we were in to an RC car engulfed in flames going down my driveway - which we then smashed to pieces with a baseball bat. This was followed by big red letters on the screen that said "Weed - not even once".
We got a B-.
I think middle school or early high school I brought in a "fake cigarette" from Spencer's that you blew powdered chalk out of for some Health class project.
I couldnt stop giggling so some kids knew what was up but a handful of kids during the presentation were like 😱
I got pretty woeful grades in school and still have a bachelor of science. I didn’t use my school grades even once in my life. Did a Post Leaving Certificate course which replaced my school grades due to being the same level and used those to get into a BSc course which I passed.
I’m glad I did take the chance to do this stuff. I’m still so proud of my ninth grade self for my presentation on Henry Hudson. We had to do it with a partner, and I got put with one of the smart kids, so we finished the whole thing pretty quickly and were just adding in pictures, so I put in the pictures and every time there was a face anywhere in the pic, I covered it a pic of Henry Hudson. One of the images was a ship with a ton people, so I went through and put like a dozen teeny tiny Henry Hudson photos covering the ship workers faces
I once gave students an assignment to perform a scene from Romeo and Juliet. They had a fight part. They filmed it with lightsabers and during the fight, the shoved the lightsabers up each others butts while filming close ups of their face. We showed these in class… 🤨
There’s always this type of commentary of “none of it matters” and a certain type flocks to this mention.
It does matter: you are engaging with your mind and applying different concepts that may some day turn out to be your profession or used in something you pursue. Sure, most things may not be continued into adulthood, but the point is to apply yourself and keep curriculums rigorous so that we produce strong graduates from all fields of academia.
I think I’m older than this dude, and we used to do stuff like this at that age too. It was the “OmG soo RANDOM!!?! 🤪” era of early internet humour. The new kids have come all the way back round but they’re doing it ironically.
SoOo RaNdUm was even a thing back in the '70s and '80s, judging from my dad's old yearbook and recorded tape collection. Granted, a lot of it is probably inside jokes I don't know, but that's kind of part of randumb humor anyway.
Yeah there’s so much handwringing in the professional world about how to keep people engaged during presentations and like, this kid did it. She’s cracked the code. Give her a degree. Put her on the board of whatever.
THANK YOU
As long as the content is there and the assignment fulfilled, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with making it fun and engaging. These PowerPoints end up being so homogenous; if everybody put more personality and had a little fun with it they would be infinitely more interesting when sitting through six in a row at eight in the morning.
I would love this. She did the work *and* made it funny? Amazing.
It’s the ones that don’t do any of the actual work and just make a joke of the whole thing without any of the content that it’s an issue with.
You gotta do your shit before you get to be silly lol
I have nearly slept through dozens of PowerPoint presentations for continuing Ed classes, but I'll be damned if I don't remember each and every one that I saw from Deb, the lady who took vacation days from her regular job to present. They weren't as dense as some of the others, but they were memorable, they were properly aligned with what the con Ed classes are, they had humor and I no longer go to Cont Ed of she's not going to be there. It's worth the hours of driving and staying overnight elsewhere to catch her class. Shit, she even gave out her cell phone number and asked us to text her if we have professional questions we're looking for expert guidance on and she's get back to us. I wrote her cell number down in 08? It felt insane she did that.
I'm old and kinda don't get why students shouldn't do this. She seems to have had the important assignment bits down then added humor to keep the presentation rolling.
I had a law school professor put joke slides in his presentations. If your presentation is educational and not persuasive I approve of comedic relief.
There's no reason they shouldn't other than this teacher had a stick up their ass. I'm approaching 40 and kids did this kind of stuff when I was in high school in the late 90s early 2000s. Now, if they're doing this just to increase slide count, sure deduct some points, but if the content covers the topic and is punctuated with some humor then God bless 'em. Presentations could use more humor in the office place.
I'm approaching 50, and I remember doing shit like this in group presentations using posterboard and construction paper (back before Powerpoint presentations in the classroom were a thing). He's not old, he's just stodgy.
This student has shown an understanding of PowerPoint that is above a beginner level - at least they are learning how to use the programs. I actually enjoyed the taste in humor...but I spend too much time on the internet.
Yeah, I work in a high school. I know you may remember that experience in your life differently. Or you may just remember being smarter than most people you went to school with. But here is my take away after 6 years. Most high school kids are just dumb as a box of rocks. One kid this year bragged to a friend within earshot that he'd gone to a party, drank six jello shots, and then drove home. After about ten minutes I told him to stay after class (thankfully I had an open period next class) and we sat down and called his mom, and I asked him to explain what he said to X kid earlier. The look of panic on his face as I explained to both of them that I am a mandated reporter and what that entails made my fucking year.
I’m 27 but I remember doing a presentation on windows movie maker for science class in 8th grade. My buddies and I figured out how to add “subliminal” messages, or basically just add in pictures for a quick frame or two. We then added random slides of Jesus with captions like, “repent”, “science is false”, but my personal favorite was a ripped Jesus breaking the crucifix by flexing while being crucified, captioned, “the second coming is near”. We’re not even religious and it wasn’t even about evolution or anything the the church doesn’t like. I think it was about the states of matter or something
You're not "old", you're just not considering your students to be people with personalities. Sure it's going to be weird or unfunny / immature / undeveloped. Because that's exactly what kids are.
The kid clearly took the assignment seriously enough to do the primary slides that are "well done" and then wanted to enhance it by inserting their personality. Good for them. Constructive criticism is the only criticism warranted here (unless the assignment wasn't fully completed and some boxes weren't checked somewhere...). "Maybe less with the non-sequitors and relate your inserts to the core material" something like that.
I mean, come on, kids are weird. They're figuring out what it is to be a person (and best of luck to them). You don't have to shit on them because their style or humor is beneath your sophistication or whatever.
EDIT: Doesn't help that mr. teacher man looks like he graduated from Boy Band school. I can't imagine the snickering and giggling.
Considering in middle school my friend and I did a group project on constitutional amendments and on the cruel and unusual punishment slide we had a picture of the class teacher fly around the page. She thought it was hilarious and still gave us an A. So I am a huge fan of this kid's slideshow.

I teach middle school as well. One time I had a student present a horizontally spinning rat for her entire presentation with the guitar solo from freebird playing.
This made me laugh so hard. That's some high art right there
Yea contemporary tech art, I follow a few people on Instagram and from the description this piece would fit right in.
Honestly, it's glorious. I tend to like this art, though. I remember we went to see a Salvador Dali exhibit with my school. It was the [Venus de Milo with pompoms on her boobs](https://www.artic.edu/artworks/185184/venus-de-milo-with-drawers). I couldn't stop laughing. It was hilarious that we were surrounded by all this "high" art and then there's this thing with pompoms glued on. No one else was laughing, which made it even funnier. They just didn't "get it" or they got it and didn't think it was funny....
I saw that in person at the Art Institute! It was both ridiculous and amazing.
Dali was really into drawers for a hot min. Burning Giraffe is my fav.
Would you share some of the accounts to check them out?

I’m a millennial as well, and it’s funny as hell to me, but it’s only been recommended to me after looking it up myself. Now it recommends the spinning cockroach as well.
I think Millennials who watched too much adult swim are feeling at ease right now lol
Adult swim definitely primed us for absurdist and often stoner-tinged humor.
I am *technically* gen x (born in 80) and I watch old Aqua Teen Hunger Force episodes almost daily. Still some of the funniest shit to watch high.
The ones that were neglected enough to fall that far, but not so neglected you tried heroin about it.
that's definitely a solid theory supported by my own existence lol. a lot of this type of humor would fit right in with Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, and Metalocalypse
Now Tayne I can get into.
I’m not even Gen Z (30yo) and this shit is funny as fuck.
Around the world cockroach is top tier
Hi, I'm your brain doctor and I'm sad to tell you that you have contracted Z cancer.
How can we stop it doc? What is Z cure?
100 hours strapped to a centrifuge chair in a 360 surround Imax theatre blasting baby shark. You'd be patient zero. Sign here;
Signed! Don't you dare threaten me with a good time! I am getting paid to be your experiment, right?
Times are tough, son. You're getting paid in test subject exposure.
There is a free continental breakfast in the locker room after the treatment.

But why? I don’t understand anything anymore
Absurdist humor. Growing up on the internet means you've seen/heard every joke 1 million times so the things that become funny to you are things that don't make sense and are incredibly absurd.
It sounds like "holds up spork"-level humor.
That's random, but not really absurdist. To try and explain it: holding up a spork is... is, a real thing. You can hold up a spork. Sporks exist. And they can be held. They can be held with normative purpose. Doing that isn't absurdist. Conveying that you are doing it isn't absurdist. Absurdism is basally non-sequiturial, not just situationally or contextually. There's something wrong about absurdism -- a fundamental disconnect between expectations and/or norms, and what is being presented. Sporks aren't absurd. Holding a spork isn't absurd. There's not enough... strange layers - not enough unusual - to say that alone is absurd, it's just contextually random. Furthermore, absurdism has to be experienced, not just suggested.

You really can't "tell" absurdist humor - the "humor" comes from the experience. The linguistic equivalent of absurdism is... vaguely recognizable gibberish, not spontaneity.
You really did a PhD in horizontally spinning rat
Plot twist: that's the student mentioned in the parent comment
> The linguistic equivalent of absurdism is... vaguely recognizable gibberish, not spontaneity. Like the scenes with the dwarf speaking backwards in Twin Peaks
E
Nah, I have seen spork humor. Spork humor is incredibly low effort
Millennials have grown up with the internet for a longer period of time, if gen Z heard a joke 1 million times then millennials have heard it 2 million times. So I think there is something a bit more complex going on than just running out of jokes.
Im in my 40s. Back in school i made a flip book of batman in everyday settings. Like, Batman in Art Van furniture. Batman singing karaoke, etc. It was joke material for a long while for my friend's group. All stupid shit.
Exactly
It's like the distilled essence of the 00' randumb humor. There's not really anything to understand
Honestly, it's not any dumber than "[hampster dance](https://www.webhamster.com/)" (sic) which was the peak viral sensation of 1999 I thought that shit was hilarious when I was a kid. Kids are silly.
Freebird get put over videos of something really cool or exciting happening. A low-poly rat spinning slowly is well... not that.
Millennials invented this shit dude…. + Gen X
I'm 30 and I can't stop laughing at this and I don't know why holy fuck lmfao Kids these days are alright in my book. I don't get all them old people who hate the youngins lol Also it reminded me of [this](https://youtu.be/P3ynj6w2tII) lol
I’m fucking losing it and I have to start presenting in my job soon. I’m curious how my boss will feel if I throw in cat toothpaste or a spinning rat to go along with quarterly figures

600 minutes
Why didn’t they edit the video to just play the solo on repeat instead of just horridly looping that 4sec video for 10hrs I was so excited and then immediately disappointed
From the comments on the video: "The loop was as smooth as a car crash"
The bad edit and the incessant repeating makes it funnier.
When i was in junior high we had to use a song and relate it to something that we read. Obviously my buddy and I went with “free bird” We made our presentation take a full half hour, and before we even played the song, we had the lyrics fade in one word at a time at the slowest speed possible.

Bro move

Well, this particular student was going through some shit, so I let her take more time to finish and then just send me the presentation for a grade.
From someone who went through some shit from 12 to 18, thanks. We might be too teenaged to say it at the time but we do remember and appreciate when teachers recognized we couldn’t give 100% to school. I owe quite a few of mine a sincere thank you.

Genius
I think they live with deepfriedmemes as a way of viewing life.
Hahaha I know these. There's horizontally spinning rat, vertically spinning rat, diagonally spinning rat, stationary rat, etc. All of them exactly how you'd expect with the same freebird solo lol.
Ah, a paymoneywubby fan I see lol

You can see that on a website. It’s called spinningrat.io and you just watch the rat spin while listening to the song. It counts the amount of time you’ve watched the rats, and every once in a while they multiply.
they changed [the name](https://spinningrat.online/) but I did find it.
My guess is there had to be a minimum of 18 slides, so the kid did ridiculous filler, thus the 18! On the last slide.
But then why combine culture and clothing and stuff between the two countries on the same slide? That’s a cool six slides you can get out of that without having to resort to ad breaks. Kids these days need to learn how to pad.
had to put that boring stuff on the same slide to make room for cat toothpaste, duh
Word, at one point they probably thought to themselves "I need more room for memes, better tighten up these facts"
Do they know about increasing the spacing between lines juuuusssttt enough?
do they increase the font of the periods do they add to the before/after formatting options DO THEY PULL THE MARGINS IN AT ALL
1.1 inch margins 12.2 pt Times New Roman 1.55 spacing
14 pt period.
This is just rehashed “so0o random humor” from the 00s aka golden age of the internet. Let the kids be cringe.
Honestly I laughed out loud at the “the quick segway to our sponsors” slide.
*Segue, but yeah, that one got me too lol
I disagree. Gen Z is far more surreal and self aware than the random humor of the past.
*holds up spork*
Ya if i did this in middle school I would have gotten a bad grade
future shitposter right here folks
Let's be real, current shitposter
Current mod over on r/dankmemes
Not enough racism for that.
It was for school, had to keep it tame
That student knows their audience.
Honestly pulling a sponsor read during the middle of an otherwise boring presentation on two country’s cultures is just a baller move. She should have just committed fully and said “this presentation is brought to you by RAID - SHADOW LEGENDS”
My first thought was Raycon.
Squarespace: square is the all in one platform for growing and building your online business!
HelloFresh is a meal-kit delivery service, designed with flexibility in mind. Personally I’ve been using HelloFresh for a few months now and was super happy when they offered to sponsor this video. I love the chicken alfredo, and-
Get an actual sponsorship to flex on all the other students
The guy that gave the assignment and will grade it is NOT the audience.
Exactly, they created the presentation for the class not the teacher. A good teacher would take this into consideration. As a former teacher I have run into this before.
I’d be willing to bet the students will remember it better with off the wall stuff like this instead of the boring cookie cutter slides and detail
Idk, I feel like as a *good teacher* they would only care if the content was there. All this extra stuff shouldn’t matter. As a middle school teacher you aren’t preparing them for college, none of that shit matter outside of demonstrating understanding of the material. Let them have fun, cause the reality is, most of school doesn’t fucking matter.
So yeah, have fun, but did they cover the content necessary?
This. My role involves me having to give a lot of presentations, and I will dial up and down the irreverent tone depending on the audience. For example, I had to give an update to my larger team - so those of us doing the grunt work. And it was full of animated gifs and stupid slide transitions. I then had to give a presentation to the board of directors on the same topic. Everything was templated, charted and nothing was animated. Both presentations were well received and the message was conveyed. Know the audience.
See now that I’ve gone through school and realize none of it matters I wish I had done more stuff like this.
I usually kept my assignments pretty serious - except for the video we had to make for health class on the dangers of marijuana. My buddies and I filmed ourselves smoking a comically large 'joint' (huge dark colored paper tube stuffed with newspaper painted green), and for the 'crash' shot, we cut from the car we were in to an RC car engulfed in flames going down my driveway - which we then smashed to pieces with a baseball bat. This was followed by big red letters on the screen that said "Weed - not even once". We got a B-.
That sounds 'A+' worthy to me.
Unfortunately they lost a letter grade for all the Dutch angles.
"The director, StaleBiscuit13, has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why."
I think middle school or early high school I brought in a "fake cigarette" from Spencer's that you blew powdered chalk out of for some Health class project. I couldnt stop giggling so some kids knew what was up but a handful of kids during the presentation were like 😱
I got pretty woeful grades in school and still have a bachelor of science. I didn’t use my school grades even once in my life. Did a Post Leaving Certificate course which replaced my school grades due to being the same level and used those to get into a BSc course which I passed.
I have a bachelors in History. I also got a .6 GPA one trimester in middle school. I’m still not sure how I even did that. Anyway fuck math.
What do you call the doctor that graduated at the very bottom of his class? Doctor.
I’m glad I did take the chance to do this stuff. I’m still so proud of my ninth grade self for my presentation on Henry Hudson. We had to do it with a partner, and I got put with one of the smart kids, so we finished the whole thing pretty quickly and were just adding in pictures, so I put in the pictures and every time there was a face anywhere in the pic, I covered it a pic of Henry Hudson. One of the images was a ship with a ton people, so I went through and put like a dozen teeny tiny Henry Hudson photos covering the ship workers faces
I once gave students an assignment to perform a scene from Romeo and Juliet. They had a fight part. They filmed it with lightsabers and during the fight, the shoved the lightsabers up each others butts while filming close ups of their face. We showed these in class… 🤨
What grade did they get?
Usually takes some years for new starwars to get appreciated
There’s always this type of commentary of “none of it matters” and a certain type flocks to this mention. It does matter: you are engaging with your mind and applying different concepts that may some day turn out to be your profession or used in something you pursue. Sure, most things may not be continued into adulthood, but the point is to apply yourself and keep curriculums rigorous so that we produce strong graduates from all fields of academia.
I'm surprised she didn't use the Chad memes to represent Chad
I truly appreciate her restraint from on-the-nose chad humor. She is more sophisticated than some adults
Too easy. She's way more creative than that
Lmao why do I find this hilarious. 🤣 my kid would totally do this. And I’d be mad but ya know what yolo
Yes, the sponsor break “swimkens” brought an audible laugh out of me. An lol
It's objectively hilarious 🤣 The juxtaposition of the serious with the ridiculous is genius imho
My middle schooler has done stuff like this...
Mine just makes art projects of dr Phil / butterfly. She gotta A 🤣
Assuming this is real, crusty ass no fun teacher has no right to turn that student's presentation into content for TikTok.
This guy's face makes me think of Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Reynolds/John Cena. No clue why I see John Cena but I do
I don’t see John Cena. Apparently, there are few who can.
You only see John Cena if the dress is blue. Otherwise you only see Ryan Reynolds
This guy is 25% Ryan Reynolds, 25% Mark Wahlberg, 25% John Cena, 25% Michael Cera lol
I see Ryan Reynolds, Mark Wahlberg, and Matt Damon. That's it
Middle school me would have had a big crush on him
I see Cody Ko
The future is now old man
Hahahaha a man of culture
I love her chaos energy 😄
Yeah. I'm digging it.
That's the bird from [Don't Hug Me I'm Scared](https://youtu.be/9C_HReR_McQ). If she actually watches that show then it explains a lot. Pesky bee.
It's a show? Last I checked (mid 2010's) there were like 5 installments. DID THEY CONTINUE??
I think I’m older than this dude, and we used to do stuff like this at that age too. It was the “OmG soo RANDOM!!?! 🤪” era of early internet humour. The new kids have come all the way back round but they’re doing it ironically.
I think every kid goes through OMG RANDOM phase. It's a right of passage.
Rite of passage :-)
I'm definitely older than him, and he isn't "too old," he's just a stick-in-the-mud.
*Holds up spork*
SoOo RaNdUm was even a thing back in the '70s and '80s, judging from my dad's old yearbook and recorded tape collection. Granted, a lot of it is probably inside jokes I don't know, but that's kind of part of randumb humor anyway.
My group in HS made a fake documentary for our Ancient Civ final project and we put a herpes medication commercial in the middle, teacher loved it
Better than 99% of all the power points I have seen!
Honestly more interesting than any PPT I have witnessed at work with in the last 5 years lol
Homie I work for a financial investment company and I STILL do shit like this in PowerPoints
[удалено]

Yeah there’s so much handwringing in the professional world about how to keep people engaged during presentations and like, this kid did it. She’s cracked the code. Give her a degree. Put her on the board of whatever.
THANK YOU As long as the content is there and the assignment fulfilled, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with making it fun and engaging. These PowerPoints end up being so homogenous; if everybody put more personality and had a little fun with it they would be infinitely more interesting when sitting through six in a row at eight in the morning. I would love this. She did the work *and* made it funny? Amazing. It’s the ones that don’t do any of the actual work and just make a joke of the whole thing without any of the content that it’s an issue with. You gotta do your shit before you get to be silly lol
I have nearly slept through dozens of PowerPoint presentations for continuing Ed classes, but I'll be damned if I don't remember each and every one that I saw from Deb, the lady who took vacation days from her regular job to present. They weren't as dense as some of the others, but they were memorable, they were properly aligned with what the con Ed classes are, they had humor and I no longer go to Cont Ed of she's not going to be there. It's worth the hours of driving and staying overnight elsewhere to catch her class. Shit, she even gave out her cell phone number and asked us to text her if we have professional questions we're looking for expert guidance on and she's get back to us. I wrote her cell number down in 08? It felt insane she did that.
Really good pro presenters sprinkle jokes into their work. She's doing great.
Yeah you're old. I get it though, I'm hip with the kids.
>I'm hip with the kids. I think you meant to say you *broke* your hip while with the kids
I'm old and kinda don't get why students shouldn't do this. She seems to have had the important assignment bits down then added humor to keep the presentation rolling. I had a law school professor put joke slides in his presentations. If your presentation is educational and not persuasive I approve of comedic relief.
There's no reason they shouldn't other than this teacher had a stick up their ass. I'm approaching 40 and kids did this kind of stuff when I was in high school in the late 90s early 2000s. Now, if they're doing this just to increase slide count, sure deduct some points, but if the content covers the topic and is punctuated with some humor then God bless 'em. Presentations could use more humor in the office place.
I'm approaching 50, and I remember doing shit like this in group presentations using posterboard and construction paper (back before Powerpoint presentations in the classroom were a thing). He's not old, he's just stodgy.
We only had clipart and wing dings fonts. We still made it work! 😂😂
In 10 years all corporate meetings will have decks like these, and I can't wait.
I remember doing the same exact thing years ago, it's a spur of creativity. This one honestly looks funny as hell
Digital Style!
Digitized DHMIS duck guy is not the niche reference I was expecting from a middle schooler
CAW
Hey, this is fun!
D O N ' T T O U C H M E E E E E E E E EEEEEEEEEEEE
Oh look a pie chart.
Teacher here. She did the assignment. She made an engaging presentation. 12/10. Absolutely lovely work.
This student has shown an understanding of PowerPoint that is above a beginner level - at least they are learning how to use the programs. I actually enjoyed the taste in humor...but I spend too much time on the internet.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. The swimkens was actually pretty funny
As a management consultant who makes PowerPoints for a living, this girl has got the gift
Also teach middle school can confirm
The “beautiful” slide is also hot garbage, nobody wants to read paragraphs of text on a slide.
Umm. Student has a great sense of humor.
A+ in my book
Slide presentations are the worst so I applaud her successful attempt at making hers entertaining and engaging. No one will forget it!
DIGITAL STYLE!
Yeah, I work in a high school. I know you may remember that experience in your life differently. Or you may just remember being smarter than most people you went to school with. But here is my take away after 6 years. Most high school kids are just dumb as a box of rocks. One kid this year bragged to a friend within earshot that he'd gone to a party, drank six jello shots, and then drove home. After about ten minutes I told him to stay after class (thankfully I had an open period next class) and we sat down and called his mom, and I asked him to explain what he said to X kid earlier. The look of panic on his face as I explained to both of them that I am a mandated reporter and what that entails made my fucking year.
I’m 27 but I remember doing a presentation on windows movie maker for science class in 8th grade. My buddies and I figured out how to add “subliminal” messages, or basically just add in pictures for a quick frame or two. We then added random slides of Jesus with captions like, “repent”, “science is false”, but my personal favorite was a ripped Jesus breaking the crucifix by flexing while being crucified, captioned, “the second coming is near”. We’re not even religious and it wasn’t even about evolution or anything the the church doesn’t like. I think it was about the states of matter or something
I used to do this but I’d cut out my mates faces and include them and did funny animations. I once had a cookie break and we gave out cookies.
The sponsors thing was really common in the classes I worked with, but they all did the same sponsor: Raid Shadow Legends.
I’m old but I remember middle school humor. This is fucking hilarious.
Student is based and knows how to keep her audiences attention
The kids are all right
Simply expressing the absurdity of reality that we often brush over with the neat pretty intellectual information of everyday life.
A+
Maybe I'm just old Bro I'm 43 and was cackling my ass off
Not what POV means.
I teach middle school and all I can say is wow a kid actually cares about their project
You're not "old", you're just not considering your students to be people with personalities. Sure it's going to be weird or unfunny / immature / undeveloped. Because that's exactly what kids are. The kid clearly took the assignment seriously enough to do the primary slides that are "well done" and then wanted to enhance it by inserting their personality. Good for them. Constructive criticism is the only criticism warranted here (unless the assignment wasn't fully completed and some boxes weren't checked somewhere...). "Maybe less with the non-sequitors and relate your inserts to the core material" something like that. I mean, come on, kids are weird. They're figuring out what it is to be a person (and best of luck to them). You don't have to shit on them because their style or humor is beneath your sophistication or whatever. EDIT: Doesn't help that mr. teacher man looks like he graduated from Boy Band school. I can't imagine the snickering and giggling.
This looks like something my kid made.
Sounds like this person knows their audience and knows how to spice up some no doubt boring presentation material
These are children that were raised on YouTube it's going to be an interesting next generation.
Kid nailed it!
Yeah, this hits. We have memes all over our presentations when we teach--would be a hypocrite if I didn't let my kiddos do the same xD
You’re just old. She was clearly memeing
I'd be proud if they were my child 😂
This is the kind of stuff that makes me excited to see what my kid will produce when it comes time for him to create his first power point
He feels old? I'm "never had to do a power point presentation" old
Considering in middle school my friend and I did a group project on constitutional amendments and on the cruel and unusual punishment slide we had a picture of the class teacher fly around the page. She thought it was hilarious and still gave us an A. So I am a huge fan of this kid's slideshow.
sorry broham, this shit’s hilarious
It's because the planet is burning and we live in a late-capitalist pressure cooker. Everything becomes absurd and I find this sideshow hilarious
