Jim (the boy with no ribcage) is the true villain of this short. He encourages Johnny to blow off his homework and then stabs him in the back during the closed student council meeting.

Since this was made in 1952, Johnny and Mary probably graduated from high school in either the late 50's or the early 60's. Did they learn their lesson from cheating, or did it continue with them throughout their lives? Did they ever go one to college? Did they ever cheat on an exam there? Was Johnny drafted and later sent to Vietnam? Did he cheat on his military entrance exam? Or did they go on to lead normal productive lives? They should have done a follow-up film to this.

"You went on as before--eating hamburgers while the world cried..." MST3K is the best.

"Oh they did..." "They found the body huh...?" "You were busy keeping your grades up." "And your enemies DOWN!" "GIVE US BARABBAS! BARABBAS!" This is one of my favorite shorts. It was so overly dramatic, and the MST3K guys used that against it so well.

Now if John was clever he'd have a fake note on hand to show the teacher, making it clear he wasn't getting the answers but it was ultimately harmless note passing... I might have given this too much thought.

Poor John. He got caught cheating. He should have blamed Mary for what happened. After all, she gave him the answer when he asked, she could have said no. But, NOOOOOO, Mary just caved and gave you the answer. Bad, Mary!! Bad!!!

"Perhaps they felt that your cheating gave you an unfair advantage." NO! CHEATING gives people an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE?!

All this short taught me was to not have friends who suck at cheating.

For the first time, Johnny feels real power.

And remember if you cheat on a test you're automatically a servant of the devil.

Was that a shadow of doubt in mrs grambys face when she looked at you? Or was it lust?

So let me get this straight...he was doing all these extra activities like they were expected of him, so he didn't study and in a panic cheated on a math test, yet no one noticed he was freaking out over the test, and all of his friends treat him like he just committed a murder, and decide all the good things he did before the test suddenly don't matter and now pretty much want nothing to do with him because he made a stupid decision...I mean jesus when did cheating on a math test suddenly become equal to high treason, give him detention and call it a day there's no need to kick him off the Student Council or anything

See this is one of the many reasons why pre baby boomers and baby boomers themselves are the worst generations. Shorts like these although humorous with the riffing this alone made me realise how toxic psas were. I mean God forbid I cheated on a test just to scramble for a B so all my extra work can pay off...my parents would grill me like a whopper "yeah that was a pun to a riff* still I think in the 40s 50s and 60s everyone just couldn't understand the teenage mind.

I know I'm super late to this comment but I think its more a look on his continued cheating, not the fact he did it only once. As the short says, he depended on her more and more until he got caught one day. Its overplayed to frig cus ya no one is gonna really care THAT much but if I found out someone i knew cheated almost a full year of there time in a grade it would be a hard oof from me but thats about it. But if someone found out you were cheating for like 2/3 the whole semester then thats a pretty big deal. If this was one time then ya what they did was waaaaay to extreme but its implied he continued for quite a while. How long though we will never know.

I never noticed that before. Maybe Jim was hoping to move in on Mary? Or maybe he was trying to get another friend in on the student council? Or...wait, I'm trying to read WAY too much into this!

11 people got caught cheating.

"How to make it work for you at home and on the job". The creepiness isn't unintentional, the guy who directed this also made the horror classic Carnival of Souls.

The choice of subject was a little unfortunate. In algebra, you have to show your work, not just the answers.

What this room needs is a plant.

"Mother Theresa called, she hates you."

"My name is Forrest, Forrest Gump. You can call me Forrest. Life is like a box of chocolates. I could eat a million of these."

JUST one more thing.. “Neah stop the voices in my head, Neah..!” And there in front of you sat Mary, her head chocked full of the answers..”Split it open now..!” 🤣😂

“There are not enough bell towers in the world for Johnny.”

"Hello? Yes, this is John." "I saw what you did."

0:29 “Because they don’t LIKE you.” 🤣 5:40 😆 9:07 💀

Factoring. Something I learned in high school. Something I've not used in any job I've had during high school or in the 13 years since I left high school. I'm so glad I don't have to do algebra homework or study for algebra tests anymore.

There are not enough bell towers in the world for Johnny

"Or was it lust?"

I have to say, look how far we've come from the 40's, now when you get caught cheating all you gotta do is go into rehab and you won't get in trouble!

That kind of algebra was always a pain in the ass for me. This was definitely an old short, they probably didn't have writing on their hands back then, lol.

Weeelll.... Nice Regan reference

"Sweet Mary NOOO!!!" "I envision a Cheating Wing." XD
