Students at Willis High School in Texas used their senior prank day rights to show their authoritarian principal who’s boss. What would any red-blooded high school senior do if their principal told them that “pranks would not be tolerated”? I’m imagining most teens would take the reverse-psychology route and pull-off the most epic prank that will live on for generations.
The seniors of Willis High School chose to turn their principal into a dank meme. That’s what he gets for trying to control their pranking nature!
These dank teens chose the “Mocking Spongebob” meme to hang over the cafeteria, along with the warning: “Class of 2017: You can’t walk if you a senior prank.” The origin of this meme comes an episode of Spongebob Squarepants called “Little Yellow Book,” in which our underwater spongy friend imitates a chicken.
Principal Travis Utecht warned the senior class that if they decide to pull any prank, they won’t be walking for graduation. The seniors still agreed to pull off their prank, transforming their bossy principal into a viral sensation. The Twitter photos of the meme principal has been liked well over 280,000 times.
Did this upset the “no prank” principal? You’d think so, but he was actually pretty cool about the whole thing. Nobody was punished for the joke, and not only that, he decided to leave up the funky Spongebob meme/message.
“Utecht told BuzzFeed News that he did not know about the SpongeBob meme until after it was hung up in the cafeteria, but thought it was “hilarious.” He added that he has the “best job in the world and the best kids.”
Utecht offered his opinion on this particular prank, “I will take this anytime. Something at my expense is far superior to any damage to property or inappropriate behavior.”
I guess I misjudged this so-called “authoritarian” principal. He’s pretty cool in my book. One Twitter user even wishes that she went to a school with this cool of a principal.
What melted this administrator’s icy disposition? Who knows? Spongebob Squarepants might have just have hit this principal’s special soft spot.
