Principal Reacts to Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide S2E17b "Class Clown" Reaction Video

18:28 When this episode aired in May 6, 2006 Pluto was still classified as a planet until August of that same year when it got demoted to dwarf planet.

Fun fact Morris Adams is played by Lil JJ, he also played in a show called Just Jordan, which is a show you may check out, because it takes place in a school in most episodes, the same thing with Everybody's hates Chris, which I recommend you check out, it's hilarious.

[@matityaloran9157]

7:25, Ned’s Declassified was one of the few live-action Nickelodeon sitcoms not to have a laugh track (because the creator wanted it to feel like a cartoon.) I assume that that was their motivation for this joke

[@mystery8820]

@@matityaloran9157 I personally hate laugh tracks in sitcoms, who'd laugh over a joke that wasn't funny to begin with, especially if a show is often mean-spirited.

[@TokuBoyStudios]

@@mystery8820 I've been split on laugh tracks. On one hand, it gives you the experience of watching with an audience; but on the other hand, it feels like they're telling you when to laugh. I think that's why the majority of current sitcoms don't use laugh tracks

[@jsd-eh6lw]

This episode is one of the most memorable ones in my eyes, especially after seeing Lil' JJ, the actor who played Morris Adams. I remember him most in an old Nickelodeon show called, Just Jordan. 18:28 Also, if I were to answer Sweeney’s question here, this is what I would say: “At first, it used to be Pluto. But since it was first discovered as a dwarf planet in 2006, the last planet is now Neptune.” I’ve always been interested in the solar system since fourth grade and still liked to acknowledge Pluto as if it’s still the ninth planet from the Sun.

[@zoa1-99.......]

18:05 The character who plays Sweeney must have had the time of his life filming this episode!

Don Creech, yeah definitely.

20:15 I would think a large red button like that would encourage kids to press it because it's big and shiny, making admin's life needlessly difficult.

[@greatsabrecatwoman]

13:00 Can confirm as a low-key class clown when I was in school! Mainly I’d be cracking jokes whenever appropriate. Key word being appropriate since I never got in trouble for them and often got at least a 3.5 GPA (often times a 4.0 GPA in both undergrad and grad school).

[@jordanlassiter5311]

9:59 I was actually on what was called a boundary exception. I don’t know if you dealt with those. But my mom did in home day care, and I would get out of school around the kids naptime. Because I lived too far away, and my mom wasn’t going to wake the kids up to come get me, I stayed at a family friend’s place, which allowed me to take the bus

[@kjgfdsa3577]

I recommend starting the show Recess when you have time on your schedule for another full series.

[@Dublin.655]

I wonder if the "Bus Passes for sale" was a school discount for city busses. Either for the students to get around town on time off or to get home/ to school using them. The school I worked at at a few students out of school bus range, but they had a city bus that could get them back and forth. We paid for half their buss passes.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Ohhhh ok that makes more sense.

[@Flyingcar100]

I was thinking it was someone selling fake bus passes

[@matityaloran9157]

4:38, I once had a teacher who was frustrated that our laughter never corresponded to anything funny happening (seriously)

[@kewaynehill-jn3yt]

Wow

[@bluedestroyer456]

18:26 wonder if Pluto is still a planet at this point in time, hehe

[@pottytheparrot310]

Neptune then would be the last one

[@anonymousanonymous7250]

This episode basically just showcases the creator Scott Fellows's inner manchild. Apparently at one point while filming the show, he bursted, out of nowhere, into the on-set classroom Nickelodeon provides for its child actors, gave Lindsey Shaw (Moze) the finger, and just abruptly left, without explanation. All the students were laughing, needless to say the teachers weren't amused.

[@raidpirate4190]

Goofing around in front of the administrative office is a class idiot, not a class clown. 😂 Also, Coconut Head playing with the Walrus puppet in the background during the tryouts made me laugh. 🤣

[@larryjester]

Have you considered the Rugrats episode "Little Dude"? It's about the main mom, Didi, bringing the main baby, Tommy, to her Home Ec class she teaches to use as a "learning aid".

[@ytmndman]

I was known as a class clown in elementary school, but the most I ever did was really just interrupt the teachers with jokes, or when we had to sing songs I would make up my own words to them and sing them instead. I did even make the teachers laugh several times.

Growing up, intentionally or not, I may have been one of the smartest kids in the class, but I can sometimes be the Class Clown. One time in 6th Grade, I remember falling backwards into some boxes and everyone started laughing and I started to laugh too. Even the teacher praised me for laughing at myself then, since we can learn to laugh at our own mistakes that are harmless.

[@Ryn_TheP0ny]

Loved this so much was a good one what a cool class clown lol.

[@f1fan112]

10:00 I think Bus passes are possibly for city busses not necessarily for school district run transportation. Specifically in my area, if a kid lives too close (or in some cases, outside of district lines and still goes to a particular district) they won't provide transportation. Therefore, they may get a discounted passes on city busses.

[@matityaloran9157]

14:51, that is exactly what they’re going for

[@thehomiemanny7488]

9:57 the high school that I attended did not have a "school bus" for students to ride to school or back home. There was a bus stop in front of the school to take the city bus instead. I never took the bus so i'm not sure if the students had to pay every time or if they had a special bus pass or some sort of student discount.

[@xcmet]

The class clown episode was not one of the Ned's best. Class clowns are a norm in school systems, however instead of being outright offensive, I've witness a few clever tactics from students that were improvised in class to be funny but not to a degree that would label them a class clown or get them into trouble. These tactics would include asking outlandish hypothetical questions that were somewhat related to the reading lessons given by the instructor whom inquired class participation or inquiring a teacher's knowledge on a textbook subject that related to tv fiction. Examples of said questions being " if so and so in the textbook is true then how come so and so on television did that"

[@seanbrower6738]

You’re right about Moze being sent out, but not Ned. I mean, come on. Ned openly mocked Mr. Sweeney and disrupted the class, but Moze let out a barely audible chuckle. If a real-life teacher was offended by a simple laugh, then I think he or she chose the wrong career path.

I disagree, there are class clowns in both middle school and high school, but they don't always look this pronounced because this is a show

From my memory of being in school, there were definitely some students we had in our class that were some of the more funnier kids and would make us laugh though I wouldn’t say we exactly had one specific student who was deemed as a “class clown.” We just had some classmates that were funny. 😅 Obviously, the funny kids in our class were certainly not that cartoony or over the top like it was depicted with Todd at the beginning when it came to that. 😅
