MADtv: "Date with a teacher"

'In the can'

'What a jip!

* The scene takes place in a restaurant which gradually turns into a classroom. The main characters are a woman teacher and a young man who could be her student. They are meeting on a blind date, which means that neither of them knew who they were going to meet after getting in touch on the Internet... We know for sure that they are respectively teacher and student because the woman gets more authoritarian as the relationship develops while the youngster behaves more and more like a chid/childishly.
(The scene takes place in a restaurant. The characters are a teacher and a young man who are on a date, we know that because at the beginning the woman says that she is a teacher and the man looks much more

younger than her, and during the video he acts like a pupil so we can guess he is a student)

* The jokes the woman makes are puns (or wordplay) for most of tem. Some of them:
- The boy tells her she must have a lot of PATIENCE; she answers "No, a doctor has patients, a teacher has pupils" it's a homonym joke because they are two words that sound the same, but are spelled diffrently and with different meanings.

- Then, to illustrate what homonyms are, she tells another pun, wich is: "i like everything but you butt."
- When the waiter arrives to take the order, he asks "Can i take your order?" and she explains that it's a mistake, he sould say may, so she says "It's very important to know the difference between can and may; otherwise, you career MAY end up in the CAN."

The other kind of "jokes" she makes are due to a funny situation, and most of the time it is funny because she starts acting like a teacher, and then the whole restaurent starts acting like a classroom full of pupil. For exemple:
- When the young man, her date, tries to read the word "florentine" while ordering, she says "Oh my, that is a tricky word... Go on, let it out!" like if he was a small pupil trying to read a difficult word in class. After that  she " Awwww very good!" and gives him a little star sticker like a reward for his "hard work". Then, she tries to give a star also to the waiter, who doesn't want it on his forehead, like the young man but just in his hand, and she answers "Okay, you can put it on you chart later" wich is what american pupils do at school.

- When the young man starts flirting with te woman at the table next to them, the teacher says "HEY, eyes up here mister!" pointing her eyes. It's funny because it has a double meaning: the first one is because he is "cheating" on her by flirting with another woman, the second one is because she says that to him like she would say that to a pupil cheating during a test.

* When she leaves the room, she says to the restaurant "Everyone, i'll be right back. Meanwhile, JOE is in charge." (Joe is the young man). But as soon as she leaves the room, Joe "spittballs" the woman he was flirting with, the waiter hits him and the head and when Joe gets up, the woman puts a fork and his chair so when he sits on it he screams. Everybody is laughing and yelling, and in fact, acting like children and making a mess like pupils in a classroom when the teacher is gone. Then, when the teacher comes she says "Okay everyone, heads on tables." and suddenly the whole mess stops, everybody calms down, put theyre arms and heads and the tables and make silence, while she says "I am very disapointed in the whole restaurant" like if she was talking to a classroom full a excited pupils.

* The "revenge" taken at the end by the teacher was by leaving with another man (the "nice student") instead of Joe, her date at firts, because he disrespected her by flirting with another woman while he was on a date with her and by not attending to his role while he was supposed to be in charge of the restaurant/"classroom".

This cartoon is also about blind date: there's a woman, Sarah, who is about to have her first blind date and she is thinking about it, because she is a little stressed. So she finally tells herself to give it a chance. Her blind date arrives, and the first question he asks is "Are your boobs real?". It's so rude she immediatly screams "CHECK PLEASE!" so she can pay and leave right away. The funny thing here is that right before taht she was telling herself to give it a chance but suddenly right after the man arrived she leaves. It's kind of a paradox.
