Welp if Ned got elected we know that The Huge Crew would be the Secret Service.

I was in my school’s Student Council as a class representative. I mainly just attended meeting and helped with ideas like what to do for Spirit Week. I will say, my last President was great in his position. He took some issues that many of us students were facing (Not being able to use the printers, Strict gym wear policy, regulations about our water bottles) directly to the principal, and actually got results. While these issue could have probably been brought up by any student, I think he felt a great sense of responsibility and felt he would been taken more seriously if he entered in his capacity as Student Council President.

Mr. Chapsaw: “A loser is someone who doesn’t try, being a loser only means that you tried and anyone who tried is a winner who didn’t win but lost.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I remember being so confused when he said that.

The one time that Gordy does something reasonable by not giving Ned spray paint that’s a different color than the locker

It would have made more sense for Ned to endorse Suzie that way he wouldn't be a candidate and he would get some cool points with Suzie since he likes her and all.

The main girl in the huge Crew name is Doris* 😮‍💨

Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Yeah, those type of student body elections are very common in school. I didn’t have those in middle school or high school but I did have them in my college to be honest. My school was at a suburban area and we would have student elections for clubs, dormitory’s, honor clubs and of course student councils. They would have elections every year and students would often run, including me. But honestly, it is a popularity contest nonetheless. Students would only run for those positions in order to add something to their résumé or just the prestige itself. Just so they can say, “I’m President of this organization” or “I got that.” I never got elected to a higher position which was unfortunate at the time, but extremely fortunate, looking back at it and I’m glad I did otherwise I would’ve been overwhelmed with the position as well as schoolwork.

Awesome Let's Get this review and on point from our favorite KZfaq principal!

The Suite Life of Zack and Cody has an Election Episode.

I always had outside time-30 minutes normally, 45 minutes in high school- usually lunch mixed with recess. I was allowed to go off campus in high school for lunch. Only for seniors. Sometimes, we even had class outside. Most of my teachers pushed going outside. We would go as a school to a park in pre-made teams and play capture the flag, ultimate frisbee, and all sorts of games mixed with high school and middle school. Teachers, even the Principal, were also a part of the games most of the time. That is the kind of school life you get when you pay for school. Free school, not so much.

Hearing about the cupcake giveaway reminded me of the Reese Witherspoon movie "Election" about a high school student president election. In the movie Reese (can't remember her character name) is a perfectionist (as well as a little bit psychotic) and determined to win the election, and in one of the scenes she goes around handing out cupcakes to people. "Where'd he pull that from?" Oh boy, this reminds me of a joke I haven't thought of in years. It's quite a bit dated but I'll tell it anyway: Three men were sitting together talking when suddenly a ringing sound came from one of them. The ringing man said "pardon me," and placed his palm to his ear and answered. When he was finished, he explained that he had a microchip installed in his hand to turn it into his personal telephone. The men went back to talking but were soon interrupted again by a loud beeping sound coming from another of them. This man pressed his forearm and the beeping stopped. He then explained he had a microchip installed in his forearm to be his pager, letting him know when he had important messages. The third man, feeling a little left out in this stuff, came up with an idea and excused himself to the restroom. He came back a few minutes later with toilet paper hanging out of his arse. When the other two men looked at this with raised eyebrows, he announced "will you look at that, I'm getting a fax!" WOW! Never thought I'd hear you say Gordy acted responsibly! Hahahaha! And then he gets potentially fired right after. LOL Once again it was great to watch this classic with you and hear your commentary. Until next time, cheers!

I laughed at your relief when you thought Ned was gonna spray tag the locker. I’m glad it was the same color as the locker otherwise he would’ve faced serious suspension for tagging on school property.

I feel like Good Luck Charlie is a good show to add to your list. It's centered more around family than school but has quite a decent amount of school-based episodes as well that would be right up your alley. It's one of the only disney/nick shows I look back on as an adult and still really like. It has aged very well and the humor is good

Yes, please go through the whole show. It's the best one that takes place in a school in my opinion. Regarding this episode, from my experiences School Presidents DO have some power but it really fluctuates and when I was in middle/high school it was more driven by making speeches as well as popularity.

You should react to Hey Arnold, a lot of the episodes should be right up your alley!

That story about you mentioning bribery during student elections was interesting. It boggles my mind that there were individuals, other students, giving out free candy, cupcakes, and Chick-fil-A sandwiches?! Really?! Wow honestly if I was a student at that school and if they offer that to me, I would definitely vote for them just for free food! 😂😂😂😂

I had a good amount of outdoor time in middle school. 30 minute recess and 1 hour PE almost every day. Our bathroom and fountain access was outside, so we'd get 5 minutes of outdoor time in between each class. Also, we could hang out and play in the courtyard if we finished our lunches quickly enough. I don't know how kids do it nowadays being stuck inside almost all day.

I have so many questions about how the weasel even campaigned.

My student council in elementary school had a treasurer.

Just Take My Advice Kids, If You Just Keep On Failing School Than You're Not Cut Out For It, You Should Quit.

I remember when I was in high school, during elections one of the kids running for school president made a racist smear campaign against her opponent. The one that I remember most clearly is "Juan can mow my lawn." I don't remember if she was ever reprimanded by teachers for it, but she had her friends (two big guys that pretty much dwarfed Juan) apologize to him on her behalf. :/

Ned looks good

My middle school got to hang out outside after lunch, I dont remember if it was actually called recess or just morphed it into the lunch time

I thought it was funny to see the Huge Crew’s shirts spell out “END”.

I don't remember having recess for say in Middle and High School, more like just a longer block of time between classes. We had a longer break between 2nd and 3rd period, like 10 extra minutes and during Lunch we could go pretty much wherever (within reason of course) that lasted like 50 minutes if I remember right. So it was pretty much up to you what you did during that time, if you wanted to go outside, the cafeteria, etc. You could. It wasn't called recess but you could go do that sort of thing if you wanted to during than.

I had recess in elementary school, but not in junior high.

If you ever get to reacting to movies, “Election” with Reese Witherspoon is a really good one. It is of course about a school election, and it’s a terrifically biting satire. Definitely worth checking out.

10:55 I remember seeing something like this in Diary of a Wimpy Kid (the first book, I believe). Greg was running for treasurer for student council, and he decided to make posters advising students not to vote for the other candidate because he had head lice a long time ago. It didn’t take long before Vice Principal Roy caught up to him and confiscated all of his posters.

The irony that Ned is going up against his potential future girlfriend for class president.

The School I went to had recess for 7th and 8th graders had recess, but recess during those years wouldn't be as fun as it was in Prek-6th Grade.

I didn’t get recess is middle school. Before I even advanced, I was told that we wouldn’t get it, but I quickly brought up how I’d seen middle schoolers having recess in a movie. They had to tell me that every district functions differently.

I went to middle school in the show's running period. We only had one recess period after lunch in 4th or 5th grade, the year before I missed recess for not eating everything for lunch so from then on I exclusively brought packed lunches. This was the catalyst for feeling less part of school as a collective. I'm not sure if 5th grade we didn't have recess. We for sure did not in middle school at all, and only had P.E. for a semester in 6th grade, then in 9th grade for high school. There wasn't any opportunity to socialize during middle school, outside of lunch, and talking during classes was discouraged, but electronic devices were allowed since they were quiet so I watched TV shows and even played video games in some classes instead. It was dreadful, to say the least, hence I remember things vividly.

School Is Not All That's Cracked Up To Be If You Keep On Failing.

Class Election was like popularlity contest in elementary. Back in 5th and 6th grade class presidents didn't really do anything to the school or with the teacher. However, I didn't run but I nominate by only 1 vote in 5th Grade and 1 vote in 6th grade.

I remember having students run for student council treasurer back in elementary school. Believe it or not, it was an actual role they could get elected for, and it worked just like you described.

My middle school Molasky didn't have recess, but we were able to play kickball, football, and baseball on the fields, or we just sat inside the sheds on the blacktop we had there and played games on our phones. There were no slides or monkey bars, but we were able to play with some of the ball sports on the field.

In middle school, it was a permission for 8th graders that we were allowed to eat lunch outside in the courtyard. It would be revoked if we were causing trouble overall or in the courtyard.

There is truth in the popularity contest but sometimes person with best ideas can win

Bruh, I need to go to that school😂😂😂 Campaigning for president with free diabetes and stuff???? Sign me up😂😂😂😂 I graduated in 2017😂

My school was both an elementary and a middle school. So recess was split between outside and the gym. The gym had stations you had to go to (hula hoop, jump rope, walking around the gym, etc) Outside you could do what you wanted on the playground, parking lot or field. So the elementary school students would be outside while middle school was in the gym. And then they switched. I think they didn’t want both elementary and middle school on the playground at the same time. So we had less time outside than we would have had normally. Everybody was in the same lunch time since it was a small school.

We usually would get a 20 minute break where the students would get time outside. In high school we only got time outside for spirit days and fire drills

Back when i was in school we had something similar to recess i cant remember what we called it but it was similar

We didn't have recess in middle school but we did have a longer lunch than in elementary so it doubled as social time. This is actually the first time of hearing about middle school recess, which doesn't sound like a bad idea imo. Also the secretary/treasurer type roles in student council and clubs are underrated, I sought/had those roles back in HS and it felt like an easy way to get into leadership roles as a more introverted person.

For a minute, I thought Ned intended to throw the dodgeball at the coach’s crotch. Either way, that would likely get him arrested on charge of aggravated assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

What kind of mic is that? Sounds great

12:35 Lol why doesn’t he just say he doesn’t accept the nomination 😂 (cause that wouldn’t be as funny obviously)

At my school we had recess up until 6th grade when they prepared us for the Jr High/High school building schedule

At least Gordy sprayed Cookie with the fire extinguisher with reasonable cause, unlike what Mrs. Krabappel did to Milhouse.

I was the treasurer fir my elementary school. Really all I did was count/sort money that the student council raised and gave it to whichever teacher was in charge

My middle school had flex time after lunch in place of recess

In high school, I was the treasurer for our FFA group. While I never had direct supervision over the money, I did record receipts and disbursements in a ledger and reported on funds during our meetings and helped track the money coming in for membership dues and students who still had not paid. So while not full responsibility over our cash funds by any means, I still feel the role was justified in out group!

i don't think we had any outside time in middle school here. Nothing note worthy anyway. It was mostly Gym I think.

Other than in gym class i never really got outisde time in terms of it being part of the school schedule in middle school but i was apart of the track team so i would get outisde time granyed it was an extracurricular activity 😂

What do they mean by saying that going outside fades as they grow older? Adults also need time outside and fresh air, it is good for everyone's health, here in my country we have recess even in universities and working adults can go outside during their lunch break

I never saw the appeal in running for class officers at all (introverted and all that). My guess to why it’s a big deal in class elections is this gives them a chance to cast their opinion (since they have to wait to actually vote as an adult). Whenever I give my perspective, this is with the context of living in Ohio. If you don’t like calling the three girls the “Huge Crew”, I suggest calling them the “Ned Fan Club”.

I recommend reacting to the Drake and Josh episode where Josh is a substitute teacher for his sister’s class called “Megan’s New Teacher” S3 E12

I had recess in middle school only in 6 grade tho. Middle school was 6-8 grade

When I was in school, class elections were more realistic and not so over the top. Students ran and that’s it. And usually the most qualified and responsible student would win. Isn’t recess more of an elementary school thing? I have never heard of middle school having recess. That’s when you have study hall. In of my high schools, we had a free period where you can either stay in the cafeteria or just do whatever, probably go to the library or whatever. I just stayed in the cafeteria. The free period replaced study hall. But the other high school I went to, did just have a study hall.

I only ever had recess in grade school

We did not get recess in middle school.

In maine theres no recess after 6th grade.

I didn't really get involved in with class president or anything really.

In French, comment means how.

Yeah, those type of student body elections are very common in school. I didn’t have those in middle school or high school but I did have them in my college to be honest.
