<p>I mean, you do have professors who are funny. But what about class clowns?? Are there any colleges/classes/majors that tend to have more class clowns than others? Why are there so few of them in college?</p>
<p>I think because class clowns seem to come off as too cool for school and therefore extremely arrogant. In turn they end up not making any friends.</p>
<p>Same goes for the front row smarty pants. Occasionally, they have some intellectual value in their arguments. But most of the time, they wither away after a couple of weeks.</p>
<p>and of course, as you grown up, you become an adult. Now as for a person like Conan O’Brien, crazy as a ■■■■ and thriving in showbiz, that dude’s an anomaly. very few people are that charismatic</p>
<p>Oh yeah, there was this one kid in my chem lecture that was soooo funny!</p>
<p>Not really, there are about 400 kids in a giant auditorium. Like I give a **** about who is in there. And the kid that won’t shut up and is joking around, annoying as hell.</p>
<p>I don’t know if I count as one because I sometimes make stupid remarks that everyone laughs (not with malice or anything).</p>
<p>
In before cormy and the cormettes.</p>
<p>Most of the class clowns have weeded themselves out, so they only last one year at community college where they struggle to focus. At least this is based on my relative small sample size, but this happens quite often. Some class clowns pull it together, but when you’re paying for college, you have to take it seriously. Professors hate when someone is wasting their time and everyone else’s.</p>
<p>There was a guy in one of my classes that asked intentionally stupid/joke questions. Eventually the professor got sick of him and told him to leave and not come back.</p>
<p>It was kind of awkward.</p>
<p>Public speaking class.</p>
<p>Our teacher told me to get up and give an improv speech on why we should rent a puppy for 30 minutes (it was a charity event on campus).</p>
<p>I just stood up and said, “Well, we all know Mr. Johnson needs some love in his life.” and sat down. </p>
<p>His expression…golden.</p>
<p>There are a ton of front row smarty pants.</p>
<p>There were a few in my acting class, which was supposed to be a little silly. When I saw them elsewhere on campus they were pretty serious. I think it depends on the class.</p>
<p>I had a few people in some of my classes that were unintentionally funny…but thats really it.</p>
<p>This one girl in my bio lab was sort of like a class clown. Like, when my professor was talking about the consistency of calamari and described it as chewy, she blurted out “your mom’s chewy” out of nowhere. Or she would do the “that’s what she said” jokes that as usual weren’t funny because they were used excessively.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Your mom’s chewy? Sounds like this girl is a few sandwiches short of a picnic. I wonder what her “deal” is, it’s sad anyways.</p>
<p>Well there are class clowns, humor is encouraged to an extent. It’s certainly a plus if you make jokes that are relevant to the material at hand. Teachers are people too and will laugh if its a joke thats not insulting to anyone and somewhat relevant. I had a professor for an english course 3 semesters back tell me he uses me as an example of creativity for an assignment on a memorable first experience. I did an oral report and essay on my first time going to strip club. I have never seen a class laugh that hard before and teacher laugh even harder. Overall if you can make occasional appropriate sporadic jokes it can be a great way to get a teacher to remember you in a good way, which is great if your a good student in there class for recommendations for grad school, jobs, etc…</p>
