I know a few teachers, the “cringy and bad” is the goal, not a mistake. It’s apparently quite therapeutic watching the “cool kids” squirm. How bad can you make them, but not make it obvious what you’re doing?
The fact that it also helps a lot of kids remember it is almost just a bonus.
I’ve got a friend who was slightly too old when the word yeet became popular. He decided he would use it confidently, often, and incorrect. He still does.
He’s excited to embarrass his kids by doing that with whatever the current slang is when they are 12 or 13.
Can confirm, life has new meaning, so sigma
My minion is still too young for that. I plan to wind them up mercilessly however. Right now, dad jokes are the height of humour to them.
- “I’m hungry”
- “Hi hungry, I’m dad!”
- “Nooooooo, I’m not called hungry!”
- “So why did you tell me your name was hungry?”
- …
I’ll be a little sad when it finally gets old.

YES! Yes holy shit, I love to make kids cringe by intentionally using memes wrong.
I’m not even a teacher but this is the best part of being a full adult.
Yup and the “cool” ones who don’t engage will suddenly be engaged with it and paying attention
Am teacher, this is absolutely true. The awkwardness is hilarious too me.
Kids don’t get the idea of others getting their cringy and bad memes
That’s fire
And then there are the teachers using memes specifically because they know it will make those memes uncool. And I salute them.
I really hope in 20 years teachers will uses skibidi toilets running around the screen as the way to explain migration

XKCD would be so perfect for textbooks!
Really hard to hover for that alt text though

School toilets are about to become even more traumatic when gen alpha starts teaching.
At least I just have random nyan cat bullet points in my slides, with a lot of random loss thrown in.
Joke’s on the kids—It’s the cringe I’m aiming for. I live to hear the groans and see the eye rolls.
Whatever I heard you’d say today would go in my slides for tomorrow. I would be the cringiest and baddest teacher ever.
You’ve got to spell and pronounce it slightly incorrect.
I would say if it serves a purpose, helps you to drive a point across, go ahead.
But don’t make any other slide a meme please.
To live is to be cringe. Just don’t be a fascist.
