I do enjoy a good visual gag, and an old favorite of mine is “there is Math on a Board in the background that contextually makes no sense.” This broadly comes in 3 flavors I enjoy:

• the board is in front of a classroom, and the Math is waaay too advanced for whatever level of pupil these kids are supposed to be; like having the calculus integral in front of kindergartners, or relativistic physics in front of high schoolers.

• the board is in front of Criminals, who are Planning Something, and by all rights there ought to be no Math there to begin with. Like. You’re planning a Heist why do you have the Full Lagrangian on there. Are we taking a rocket to the bank.

• the characters are super-genius science fiction people. The Math is “Pi≈3.24” with an unlabeled pie chart.

Like what, another one? Doesn’t she teach? This just says Inside a Dog

Ms Frizzle sending you one (1) permission slip at the beginning of the year to cover all the field trips and you’re like huh that’s a little unusual but I guess it’s efficient at least and then you open it and it’s written like This

really love that of helen in the odyssey is 1) emotionally aware enough to notice how incredibly painful it is for telemachus to hear stories and possible news about his father 2) kind enough to do something immediately to make the situation less painful 3) not confident enough in her own ability to raise telemachus’ spirits with kind words or a familiar embrace and so 4) decides to drug him out of his senses so he can no longer experience emotion. like I personally would not do this but you have to respect the thought process
