28 of the Funniest Assignments Students Submitted

Part of growing up and looking back on your school days is realizing that you were probably wrong about who the teacher’s favorite was. At the time, you assumed the kid bringing in shiny apples and raising their hand for every question was the teacher’s darling. Once you become an adult, you realize they were probably just as annoyed by them as the rest of the class.

The student that teacher was secretly rooting for? The weird, funny one. Sure, they had to send them to the principal’s office for their odd doodles, but you know they kept the doodles to laugh at with friends at the bar later. Nobody remembers a right answer to a test, but a truly funny one? That sticks. 

Even years later, those teachers have a clear recollection of the most hilarious thing ever handed in, and thanks to Reddit, we can share in that same joy.
