Kids these days – and even people getting up toward their thirties – love the show “Spongebob Squarepants.” Lots of people do, even if it has gotten on plenty of parent’s nerves due to how much it’s on the TV. A couple of kids decided to have some fun with the senior yearbook quotes.
Gal on the left is the caller, guy on the right picks up the phone. The names have been covered over in order to protect their identities, but how great would it be if the guy on the right was actually named Patrick? It would almost be too good to be true. We’re trying to look at the tiny bit of text we can see, but we can’t see anything concrete. If anything, the little bit we have might just shoot the theory down.
We Guess Not Everyone Has Seen It
Look, some people just don’t have the time to watch “The Office” and only “The Office” during all of their free time. Some people have jobs to go to, or sports to play, or symphonies to write, or something like that. But everybody else has quotes from the show, what is a graduating guy supposed to do?
This young man decided the best option would be to make something up. He even threw some shade on the people who think quoting one of the most popular shows ever makes them special or quirky. Oddly, including a quote that made fun of people trying to be quirky is, in itself, what a lot of people would call quirky. Nobody can get away from it, even if they try.
A Little More to Go
Rithika Katpally has just finished high school, and there’s plenty of celebration. Not from her grandma, though, who is expecting Ms. Katpally to put on a white lab coat, loop a stethoscope around her neck, and start treating people who come in with boo-boos. Sorry, Grandma, it takes a little bit more time before she’s able to put her name on the door.
At the very least there’s college and medical school – easily eight years unless you try really hard to save some time – and then there might even be more school after that, not to mention having to learn pretty much constantly afterward. Just keep encouraging her, Grandma, and she’ll be able to get there eventually, at which point she can help you out with your bad back.
Dad, Did You Change My Senior Quote?
We could say that this is yet another example of a little bit of humor in a senior yearbook, or that it’s another example of Asian parents having a stereotypical desire for their children to go above and beyond at school, but there is another option.
Maybe this dad was just so darn proud of his son that he wanted to say that he was the best, and that he was proud of him. What better way to say so than to say that he had the top grade? Sure, the delivery could have been adjusted a little bit, since it still seems like the dad is way too interested in his son’s grades, but it’s certainly possible that this is just a well done son kind of line.
Good to Get Those Questions Out the Way
We apparently have a class clown on our hands, and he’s taking that appellation as far as he can in his senior yearbook photo. How many other people would be able to get away with wearing denim overalls with no shirt on and a messy amount of clown makeup? If your answer is Leatherface, then you’ve touched upon one of the other strange parts about this picture as a whole.
Why would a graduating senior – even one who seems to enjoy doing strange things for the laughs, talk about cannibalism? David Foster Wallace was a famous writer, and the quote comes from his most famous piece, “Infinite Jest,” which is regarded as one of the best American novels ever. Maybe the clown is a little more well-read than we thought.
