“Prepare to Cringe: 50 Epic School Presentation Fails That Will Make You Rethink Classroom Chaos!”
Theatre school, one guy did a 30 minute presentation on why UK Grime music is the future of theatre…expect it was just music videos and no context.
He failed. We all had headaches after.
In high school my best friend, who had learning disabilities, read a monologue that she’d written. It was half plagiarised Shakespeare and half nine year old style writing, everyone else laughed.
A kid in my middle school class (late 80’s) decided to run for class president…he was one of those kids who was squarely in the middle of the student hierarchy – people knew him, but knew he was a bit off.
His last name was O’Brien. Some people called him OB for short.
He gets up in front of the school to give his speech, and finished with his campaign slogan.
To quote, from a very famous US ad at the time “OB! It’s the way you should be!”
Yes, his campaign slogan was the one for tampons. The round of ironic applause only fueled his fervor and he became more and more hyped up with the crowd, encouraging people to start chanting the slogan. Ugh.
When I was in eighth grade, we were assigned to each make a 10-minute presentation about a controversial topic. One girl made her presentation about how she believes women shouldn’t be allowed to become President.
(Edit to clarify: to make matters worse, this was in 2014 or 2015, so it wasn’t that long ago).
One day a group of highschool girls wearing really…uh appealing clothes went to the stage at my school’s talent show and started twerking thinking they were nailing it. Everyone cringed so much, and the people with the middle schoolers were super uncomfortable. When they finished the teacher presenting the show went to the microphone and said “Congratulations! You got the whole audience clapping!”
But no one was clapping.
