Today, instead of actually teaching us something, our college professor excitedly showed us the godawful Harlem Shake video he made with his friends. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my son had to help out at the local retirement home for his community service. He got in serious trouble and came whining to me about it after he tried threatening some of the residents into taking part in a Harlem Shake video. FML
Today, I gathered the courage to participate in a class discussion. My professor laughed at me. FML
Today, I learned, 90 horrifying minutes into a college exam, that my 85-year-old calculus teacher had spent the last three weeks teaching us the wrong chapter. FML
Today, in gym class, we were forced to learn the "Hoedown Throwdown" dance, by Miley Cyrus. This will actually be counted toward my grade. I'm in high school. FML
Today, my dad walked in on me filming a Harlem Shake video. He stared for a moment, then said, "Son, I don't have a problem with homosexuals, but… nevermind", shook his head and walked out. FML
Today, my professor snapped and told me that I know nothing, that everything I've ever learned is wrong, and that all of my former teachers should be shot. FML
Today, I found FML for the first time in class, and literally laughed out loud in the middle of the lecture in front of 200 classmates. Today's lecture? The cruelties of slavery. FML
Today, I wanted to teach my students about history with dominoes. I thought the online video would be wholesome or relevant to history. Nope. The last domino was captioned "HENTAI." Students now get to explain to their parents that I exposed the word Hentai to their vocabulary. FML
Today, I changed my teacher's PowerPoint picture to me making a funny face. He saw it and changed it to a picture of him, with a middle finger. FML
Today, at college, the weird guy who stares at me every day came over, said, "I've made you a mixtape," then handed me an old, empty Queen's Greatest Hits CD case and scuttled off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

oh please. i'm in college, so don't try to preach how expensive it is. a Harlem Shake video is thirty seconds long, so it's not a huge deal like everyone is making it out to be, no matter how stupid they are. if anyone feels like they are being cheated from precious learning time because they have to watch one, then they need to take the stick out of their ass and spend that time doing something else.

The average kid will spend 10 minutes not paying attention, check their phone, day dreaming, looking at a hot girl/boy, going to the bathroom, taking notes but not listening, listening but not taking notes, checking their backpack for a different color highlighter, talking to their etc. But you wanna bitch over 30 seconds. Show up to office hours 30 sec early and stfu.

Ahh, I remember when 6 months ago we were all complaining about Gangnam Style. Times change, but not much.

"HURR DURR WATS GANGNAM STYLE???!!!1" - most people today.

Next he'll show you his song with goats screaming in it. What have we become?

I don't understand the hype over it. The kids graduating from my old high school want to do it during their graduation ceremony.

It's a fad. And honestly, I think it's less annoying than Gangnam style, and since it's only half a minute, the annoyance doesn't last long.

They're gonna look back and think they were really stupid for doing it.

Just like planking. People need to find something better to do with their time.
shorty6823 28
Except for that one day at band camp. All the seniors started planking during the final days drill.

Well, people are stupid.

I hope you taught him the orginal one and not the recent one with the awful trap music.

Define 'trap music'
TheBrochure 22
#81 - to my knowledge, trap music is a rhythmically focused style of music that has been around for years, originally accompanying rap, that has now seen another rise in popularity in the EDM scene, and nowadays it typically sounds a lot like, well, the Harlem Shake, with its heavy sub-bass, synthesized, sped-up and varying snare rolls, various dubbed-in voice clips, the notorious "oi" or "ey" on upbeats, and a zippy-sounding lead melody that may sound obnoxious to those who do not favor the genre. Sorry for the gargantuan sentence.

Be careful, everyone. There's a punctuation thief at large, and it looks like 23 was his first victim.

....Because that's why you're paying to be there, right? :p

I'm confused. Harlem Shake videos are never more than 35 seconds long. I think you need to pull that jagged stick out of your ass.

A shot to the head takes less than a second. Your point?

30 seconds from hell

27) I agree with you, I don't see why it's such a big deal. I actually find the harlem shake videos amusing, but clearly the majority of the commenters on here hate them with a passion.

Although Harlem Shake has become overdone to the point of being annoying as ****, and as much as I hate it, there does appear I be a "hate everything popular" mentality on FML.
charvisioku 22
36: You're not the only one. I find some of them hilarious. People on FML jump on hate bandwagons, which is pretty much as bad as jumping on the bandwagon of the fad itself. It's amusing.

How can something be simultaneously a widespread, popular meme, and also "hyper-rejected" by everyone because it's popular? "I don't want to live on this planet anymore."
