YouTube's 7 Scariest Teachers

High school is a bad idea. You've got a bunch of moody idiots packed into tiny class-rooms with freaked-out teachers who resent the kids for being so young and full of promise. Something's gonna go wrong and according to YouTube, that something is the teacher going nuts.

Here are clips of some truly remarkable classroom breakdowns ranging from furious rants to physical violence.

#7.
Mr. Dial-a-Douche

Angry Quote: "Can I see that for a minute?"

Is His Anger Justified?
Sure, in Red China. But here in America, you have the right to answer your cellphone wherever and whenever you want. What is this, communist China? We'll tell you who'd pull this kind of crap: the Chinese (specifically the socialist ones).

Even if the teacher's anger was justified, the main problem is that he looks like a total douche while breaking the phone. If he'd snapped it in two with his bare hands, or smashed it with a giant mallet Gallagher-style, we'd be behind him. Instead, he angrily tosses it at the floor, then does the thing where he casually pretends he didn't do it. Sure, the "do-something-malicious-then-walk-away-casually" move works well if you're a supervillian who just shot an incompetent henchman. But when you're a geeky asshole who just chucked some kid's KRZR, you just look like a petulant child.

Mr. No Whistling While You Work

Angry Quote: "So when I tell you to stop talking... that means stop whistling and stop acting like an idiot!"

Is His Anger Justified?
The teacher says, "You're in grade 10, act like you're in grade 10," which is pretty bad advice since that's exactly what these kids are doing. It seems like the teacher is legitimately disappointed with his class' behavior, but shouldn't he be used to this by now? No offense doctor, but you don't look like you just started teaching last week. Learn to be more authoritative and maybe these kids will respect you.

What do we mean by more authoritative? Well, for instance, when you notice you're being recorded, take away the phone and erase the clip. Don't wave "hello" like a 12-year-old kid walking through the background of a local news standup. Now over 100,000 people, including every student you will ever teach for the rest of your life, has seen you act like a total pussy just because you got stage fright when someone pointed a camera at you.

Mrs. Do What She Says!

Angry Quote: "Write the five page paper or you're gonna fail this class, JACK!"

Is Her Anger Justified?
The wise-ass kid who can talk his way out of everything really only exists on Saved by the Bell. In real life, those kids end up getting hockey checked by a 50-year-old woman in front of the entire class.

This teacher sure does yell a lot, but then again, wouldn't you yell at a kid who refused to write a five-page paper? These kids probably average thirty pages of text messages a day. So, was it really worth it for the kid to spend all that energy to get out of writing the assignment? We agree with this teacher: just write the paper Zack Morris. It'll waste a lot less energy than whatever stalling tactic you're trying to employ here.

Also, unless this kid's name is actually Jack, her use of '70s slang is entirely unjustified.

Mr. Talks Funny

Angry Quote: "Change your behavior!"

Is His Anger Justified?
We'd be angry too, if we had ridiculous accents! Isn't that right, racist classroom? Oh, man. He's like Apu from The Simpsons. You know Apu, right? He runs the Kwik-E-Mart. He says, "Thank you, come again." Ha ha ha. That's totally like your teacher!

The teacher is in a sad catch 22 because the angrier he gets, the more pronounced his accent becomes, the harder the class laughs, the angrier he gets. The only thing sadder is that he was probably a nuclear physicist in his home country.

#3.
Mr. Pledge of A-Fuckin-llegiance

Angry Quote: "YOU WILL STAND. YOU WILL STAND QUIETLY. YOU WILL PAY ATTENTION. ANY QUESTIONS?"

Is His Anger Justified?
Our read on these kids is that they're dicks (witness the lame "boogie-woogie-woo" to the camera) and that they're trying to set Mr. Mantel up for a hilarious freak-out. That being said, Bugs Bunny is also kind of a dick, and that doesn't justify Yosemite Sam's anger or make it any less hilarious.

Mr. Mantel clearly should not be teaching at a public school, especially in what appears to be a shop class, where he's surrounded all day by the temptation of deadly power tools. Sure, he loses it in a sort of benign, goofy, drunk-uncle-screaming-about-how-you-should-respect-him type of way. But, there seems to be a quiet rage simmering under the surface here. For an idea of just how ugly such rage can be when it erupts, well, stay tuned for the next entries.

Mr. We're Not Gonna Make A Terrorism Joke, But We're All Thinking It

Angry Quote: The video is in Farsi, but we imagine something along the lines of, "PREPARE TO BE HIT IN THE FACE!"

Is His Anger Justified?
Look, we'll be honest: we don't know what's going on in this video. We do know that the recording of it was about the bravest piece of photo journalism we've ever seen in our lives. Also, it would appear that whomever filmed this is no longer on this earth, as can be gathered from the furious look on the professor's face when he sees the camera followed by the camera cutting off. It's like a Middle Eastern version of The Blair Witch Project.

The flip out itself is nice and sustained. Almost Lou Pinella esque. There's a half slap at the beginning followed by a lot of yelling and close finger pointing followed by a vicious full slap. The teacher then takes a walk around the front of the class to cool out a bit, before realizing he's being filmed. Let's just say based on his demeanor up to that point, we're guessing he didn't wave to the camera.

Mr. Holy Shit This Guy Totally Loses It

Angry Quote: We don't speak French, so we we're going to go with a quote from the Tom Berrenger movie The Substitute which we're pretty certain this guy used to open every class: "I'm in charge of this classroom. I'm the warrior chief, the merciless god who stirs anything in its path. You fuck with me, and you will suffer my wrath."

Is His Anger Justified?
Well, on the one hand that kid did throw what appeared to be a spit ball at his back. So, you know, that wasn't cool. The class had to be expecting some sort of retaliation. Were they expecting him to fly into a woman-punching, child-abusing, hilariously-uncoordinated-failed-jump-kicking rage? Probably not.

We're guessing that the teacher didn't know he was going to do all that until he was standing in a room full of splayed out kids with blood on his knuckles. But, you know, each teacher has their own brand of discipline. Plus, once you start in on a good homicidal punching spree, you don't want to waste it.

We do have to disagree with his choice of wardrobe. Maybe if he would have worn something a little more professional than a striped sweater with track pants, his students would have respected his authority a little more and he wouldn't have had to try to kill them all. That, or learn to land the flying spin kick. Either way, really.

Mr. Hand's Angrometer:



Sure it's a bit overkill to kick the hell of a student, but kids these days are asking for it big time. It's no wonder teacher lose it sooner or later.

I once had a bipolar teacher. He would be all happy and s**t, then somebody would ask some kind of stupid question and he would go completely batshit, yelling at them and throwing them out of the room. Then he would suddenly become all happy again, completely forgetting about the other guy.

Lolm, i should've taped one of my old teachers. He had a bit of temper. One kid got like 5 minutes late and he was so pissed of he started yelling at him and threw him down on a chair (almost missing the chair) and then threw the table in to the students stomach so hard he almost puked. Still screaming at the student.

Or my other teacher who started screaming at us because 4 people forgot to hand in some reports. He looked like a tomato :D

All of these were justified! Youtube has nothing on teachers I had to attend classes to and some whom I work with now.

#7 is staged. at the bottom after watching, there's an extended cut. The professor and the "student" collaborated. He reveals he's "just f*****g" with us

I am a high school student and I have to side with the teachers on this one. Of course, there is only one real way to resolve these kinds of problems between instructors and alumni... a fight to the death.

All I can say is, wait until you have to do it yourself until you judge. I've been teaching in China and Japan for a while now, and I've snapped a few times, although it's never degenerated into assault because I'm rather fond of my visa and unemployable in my own country :) Of course teaching people from my own country would have let me avoid the further cultural complication of something already complicated. Teaching is so weird... if you care about what you're supposed to be doing, you're going to get angry. If you don't, you're miserable that your life is even more meaningless than it already was. I say bring on the machines!! Because they don't care about caring or meaning. I was just like some of the students in the videos when i at school, and now I suppose I'm getting what I deserve, so there is some justice...

f**k... all i have to say is while the teachers should better control there anger the kids had it coming... i mean if your gonna act like a total douche wad than your gonna get some a*****e behavior back. have some amount of respect already. i mean some of us really are there to learn and those idiots ruin it for not just the teacher but the students that arent there for some jerkoff to waste the day cuz they think it is funny to piss the teacher off or whatever. and as a student i totally love the teacher that breaks the f*****g phone. i dont wanna hear how stacy blew you before class you got what you deserved... class is only like 45 mins nothing is that vital that it cant wait til class is over

i am high school student and i can say with certainty that if my teachers acted like that, the class i am in would deliberately provoke them. we would then videotape the whole thing and laugh about how muchj trouble the teacher would be in once we sent it to the police. then we would do it again.

And we would love every second of comic anger from middle-aged adults.

In response to gymcoach29:
I am a high school STUDENT, and I think these kids are pretty much acting the way kids act, and if you think that in a situation in which a student throws a spit-ball at a teacher, and the teacher goes beserk and starts beating him to the floor, the STUDENT should go to jail, I seriously question your morals. I admit that a teacher getting upset at a lazy student is often justified, as was the case for #5, but seriously, lighten the f**k up. kids are kids, and teachers should treat them as such. in a way, I think #7 was possibly the worst of all of them, because he was obviously not in any kind of temper at all. he knew exactly what he was doing, and he didn't even ask the student to put the phone down. He just went up and broke a piece of technology that, for all we know, could have cost upwards of $500. I think it's very distressing that a teacher could look at these videos and side with the teachers, and think that it's what the kids deserve. you should be looking at these videos and using them as an example for yourself not to lose your temper. I hope you don't teach at my high school.
