Sam Salem is a stand-up comedian who happens to be a high school teacher, and in a two-part Instagram reel, he shared some of the best burns with which his students roasted him. Now, teachers may not necessarily appreciate being insulted by their students to their face like this, but Salem does appreciate the creativity with which his Gen Z students roast him.
In the first part of the series, he recounted how a student called him Jeffrey Dahmer, as he was standing by the classroom. In another exchange, another student said he looked like Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory, which was fair given he has red hair and glasses. Apparently, #3 on the list was Logic, which a lot of people have already told him although he readily admitted that he did, in fact, look like Logic.
While he was wearing a brown glen check jacket, a student said he looked like Macklemore. And finally, as he was walking along the hallway, he passed by a girl who was filming for Tiktok, to which he made an offhand remark. The girl then looked at him and told him that he looked like a pigeon.
In the second part of the series, we had some very interesting, and quite accurate roasts from his students. Somebody referred to him only as "Mr. Facebook" because he looked like Mark Zuckerberg which, from afar, one can definitely see the resemblance.
There was one student who told him as he was leaving school that he looked like a skinny Carl Weezer, which again, was fair because of the red hair and glasses. From this, you can start to see a pattern in what students are reminded of when they look at Salem. Then, a student remarked that he resembled a random guy in the news.
Perhaps one of the weirdest resemblances that a student said of him was that he looked like a cartoon mosquito. Granted, the student was quite annoyed with him, and uttered the roast under their breath.
And finally, the funniest exchange so far is when a student asked Salem whether he saw the movie Chicken Little, and then quipped, "I think you know where this is going." - via Digg
