okay class take your seats we're going
to go over the homework from last night
oh my God what's the problem you think
you messed up the homework no I did fine
it's just that every time we check the
homework Greg always chimes in to
correct the teacher at every little
moment he's like a nap oh yeah that is
really annoying now our first question
was what is the chemical symbol 03 now
the answer here is oxygen and the reason
why is uh Mr teacher 03 is actually the
chemical symbol for ozone not oxygen it
again my mistake you're right I was off
my game for a second there now given
that oxygen is the most abundant
chemical in the Earth's atmosphere we
can easily infer that Mr teacher it's
actually nitrogen that's the most
abundant chemical in the Earth's
atmosphere not
oxygen thanks Greg I must be getting my
facts mixed up you know there's a funny
story behind that actually you see back
when I was in university me and my
friend um Mr teacher it's actually my
friend and
I can you ease up for a little bit
please why I'm just educating you on
proper grammar yeah but you're also
getting in the way of me trying to teach
this class so I need you to stop okay
well it seems like I've been doing most
of the teaching here
anyway what's that well it just seems to
me like I'm more qualified to teach this
class than you I mean you didn't even
know the difference between ozone and
oxygen if you don't stop you won't be
breathing oxygen anymore no come here
come here teacher Mr teacher please
[Music]
man what's wrong I forgot my pencil at
home do you have one sorry I only
brought
one I hate my life hey Greg yes Simon
can I please borrow a pencil for this
class I promise I'll make it up to you
look over here the average intelligence
peon asking the Super Genius of Our
Generation for a writing utensil just
said a bunch of big words and it still
made me dumb or something Simon the only
true imbecile in this class is you given
that you clearly don't seem to care
about your education enough to bring a
pencil to class a pencil okay just a
pencil did the founding father signed
the Declaration of Independence with
just a pencil use the quill but then
again they are old so you refusing to
bring a pencil is the most egregious
form of idiocy and you should feel
ashamed for doing so it's just a pencil
I know you have them in your bag okay
I'm just going to borrow one and I'll
give it back to you when I'm done your
teacher Simon's trying to commit
thievery Simon what why are you stealing
stuff I just wanted a pencil Greg won't
give it to me can you tell this
ignoramus that not bringing a pencil is
the first step to a lifetime of failure
I highly suggest you send him to the
principal immediately Greg I'm not
sending him to the principal over that
okay I don't care enough just give him a
pencil and stop making
[Music]
noises okay class take your seats I'm
going to hand your test back now Simon
you got a 91 good job hey that's pretty
good A minus Simon's friend you got an
88 hey I'll take that not as good as
mine though hey we both did good so
we're chilling Greg you got a 100 again
wow a 100 I would be excited but then
again this doesn't come as a surprise my
God why is he like this why why after
all I am the smartest student in the
classroom this is the 14th test that
I've received with a perfect score okay
Greg we get it you got a perfect score
my apologies Simon I didn't know the
celebration of my grades would make you
all feel inadequate inadequate well I
certainly wouldn't know what to do with
myself if I got a grade as mediocre as
an A minus your friend didn't even get
an A at all but that's okay some of us
have to be failures in society for us to
function am I right fight the only
fighting I'm involved in is within the
academic decathalon which is what I've
been selected for given my stunning 4.0
GPA I think you're narcissistic you call
it narcissistic I call it being
successful now if you'll excuse me these
perfect grades are bound to impress the
people at Harvard got to drop out
[Music]

snitching the satisfaction of watching
the world
burn also if I get on the teacher's good
side he's more likely to give me a
better grade in this class not true not

them back now dude this homework was so
difficult I know right I definitely
failed bro Greg here you go thank you
teacher
Mr teacher yeah Greg I think there's a
discrepancy with the homework it says
here I got a 99 that's the problem
that's I like an idiot I don't see an
issue well I clearly should have gotten
a 100 oh I see the problem it's with
question nine you marked me off one
point I wrote down 3.84 as my answer oh
yeah yeah yeah I remember grading this
yeah you have 3.84 as your answer but on
the answer key it said 3.86 so I just
had to Mark you off a point for that no
big deal it's a very big deal I get
perfect scores all the time if I get one
point off on an assignment what does
that make me uh human I don't want to
hear it from you Simon you probably got
something embarrassing like a 50 uh 47
actually you know I'm surprised I
thought you get it right on the first
try but looks like you kind of lost your
touch
what what did you say I said you lost
your t look Greg a 99 is a really good
grade okay especially considering that
everyone else in the class might have
bottled it I mean I got a 47 I got a 46
