Tell about the funniest teacher you ever had.
Ok, I've got three...
First, the professor that got me interested in studying psychology. I had him for Intro Psych 1 and Abnormal Psych. He had absolutely no shame and would act out various disorders, which probably shouldn't be funny because mental disorders are serious, but it was insane. He didn't really tell jokes to make the class laugh, but he was just so enthusiastic and spastic that it was always entertaining.
Second, a professor I had in grad school was beyond fidgety. He couldn't stand still and lecture, he was always moving. Squatting down, hiding behind chairs, jumping from behind the wall. Sometimes it would be funny in class, but it was mostly funny when reminscing with other students.
Third, a professor who made me laugh so hard that I couldn't breathe and was actually crying. Basically we were discussing an article or book or something and there was these cryptic words written on it, including "gonad". Frequently professors would give us copies of their originals that have their own notes scribbled on them. Someone asked what the words meant. And it turns out that he and another professor used to joke about how you'd say their names backwards and whose was cooler (keep in mind this is a guy who's in his 60s). It doesn't seem as funny to write it up, but it was among the hardest I've ever laughed in my entire life.
