62 Professors So Unforgettable, Students’ Hilarious Reviews Will Leave You Speechless
Ever wonder what students really think about their professors when the evaluations go beyond the usual “good lecturer” or “too hard” remarks? Turns out, those classroom characters inspire everything from awkward compliments to brutally honest—and downright hilarious—critiques that make you question if the lecture hall doubles as a comedy club. Reddit user Nomolosw sparked a wave of chuckles by asking professors to share the funniest student comments they’ve come across. The responses? Thousands of witty, snarky, and sometimes downright bizarre snapshots of academic life that prove teaching is a two-way street—complete with roasts, praise, and peculiar observations that are as entertaining as the lessons themselves. So, if you’ve ever wondered how brutal—or flattering—student feedback can get, buckle up for a tour through quirky reviews that might just make you laugh out loud.
Teachers may run the classes, but feedback goes both ways.
Reddit user Nomolosw asked all the professors on the platform to share the funniest things students had ever written about them, and they received thousands of replies. Awkward compliments, brutal honesty, and snarky wit—they’re proof that “performance reviews” can be as entertaining as the lessons themselves.
No wonder Community was so popular! Lecture halls hide plenty of quirky characters, ready to deliver a punchline at any moment.
My Calc 3 professor told us on the last day about some of the stuff he has read about himself. The one I remember him talking about most was:
“He is very oddly shaped and flails his arms about to try and depict 3D shapes”
His response was:
“Even though I do flail my arms, I believe I am not oddly shaped. Just look at me…this is 100% math bod right here”.
I know a high school teacher who tells all of his students to rate him on ratemyteacher, but say something ‘squiddy’. He has tons of reviews like “Great class but I think I saw a tentacle hanging from his desk drawer one day…”.
One semester I helped an ancient professor with some of her research. She was one of the most disorganized people I’ve ever met. One of her reviews nails it: “I am pretty sure that she was unaware that she is a professor. For that matter, I think she was unaware that she lives in the state of Wisconsin.”.
Not a professor, but there’s this work of art one student posted on koofers:
> [professor]’s eyebrows suit the man with a perfection rarely found in nature. They bristle from his forehead with the stubborn arrogance of a bougainvillea hedgerow, defying all attempts to question their inexorable will. Perched on his face like a pair of unusually hairy caterpillars engaged in a passionate kiss, they meet at an angle only slightly less obtuse than the man who wears them.
TA in Calc.
Pretty much broke down to 3 different types – good reviews, bad because the class was ‘too hard’ or them complaining about my handwriting.
Did have one memorable one something like this:
‘Does a great job teaching, I am not a math major and did well enough in his class. BUT he takes off his wedding ring before class, I’m sure in hopes that he can pick up students. I saw the tanline on his finger.’
Not married, never have been, and have never worn a ring of any kind.
Not me, but one of my writing professors would always share her favorite review she’d ever been given. “She’s a good professor but I’d be able to focus more if she didn’t look like a hobbit.”.
Not me, but one of my favorite professors at my university has “Prof [So-and-so] is like the Luna Lovegood of Science.”.
Mr. X is a beautiful and intelligent human being who inspires all those around him to achieve greatness. There is nothing that compares to the opportunity one has to bask in his magnificent glory. That being said the sudden changes in facial hair can be somewhat unsettling .
Former TA, but one of my students who reviewed me write that I was “like a cross between Rachel Maddow and Justin Timberlake”.
I was also friends with a professor who got a review in Japanese. It translated to “wow you are delicious”. We weren’t sure if they were flirting or trying to show off that they actually had learned something (the professor taught Japanese, this was from one of his 101 classes).
Not really funny but back when I was in eighth grade I had math with this sketchy kid. He hated our teacher so he made a post on rate my teacher about following her after school to her home and blowing her house up. The cops were called in and our whole class was interrogated. Fun experience that was.
Not a professor, but as a TA we get semester reviews. I had a student who didn’t show up once. On the ‘anonymous’ review, one student said, “I know I’m not passing this class, it’s not PM_ME_DUCK_FACT’s fault. My parents wanted me to be a doctor and are paying for my school so I had to ‘try’ their way. Since that didn’t work out, now I can take classes I actually want.”.
“Our keyboard harmony professor has first-hand experience in how to *Handel* a large organ.”.
My dad was a prof for a number of years for a masters level class. One review was just “take class at your own peril.”
He also got a chilli pepper and being an upper division computer engineering class it was primarily guys so that was interesting.
