One of my professors call me, and some of the students by their last names and I always hated it! So annoying. In Rutgers near where I live, they treat students like numbers and I can relate to your parody very well! Referring students to "rows" don't help much! Anyways, you are now moved to Row 555!!

I've had teachers call everyone by their last names. That is so typical. It only bothers me if they flub the name. I once almost got busted for something I didn't do because I had a classmate with the last name of Stokes, and if a teacher flubbed the name she was referring to by saying "Spokes" or "Scotes," that caused confusion.

Never had this experience, so this is unfamiliar to me. That being said, I can only imagine how row naming must have gone on in 1951. (the greatest year in human history) With you know who (the game show “assistant”...) on the mind of most people in 1951, I can’t imagine getting through that year would have been easy for anyone. (Having the knowledge that 300 Boy Scouts were NEAR her is enough.) But row naming would have been interesting to know about in 1951. Also, how did this get 1,000+ views...yet only ONE vote?

Nothing better than commenting on a completely unrelated parody to talk about 300 Boy Scouts that appeared on a TV show 70 years ago. Way to go, George Briant fan!

You present an interesting counter-point to what I said. In my comment, I was merely pointing out that row naming would have been interesting to know about in 1951 because of how famous “Beat the Clock”‘s main assistant was. Virtually nobody in that year was not aware of her existence. And seeing as 300 Boy Scouts were put near a scantily clad assistant, which I think most people that already know about this broadcast have forgot, it makes perfect sense to try to connect it to row naming in a school, filled with students who would have no doubt been thinking about said assistant on “Beat the Clock”. Unless you are as familiar with this broadcast as I am, then you do not understand the significance of putting 300 Boy Scouts near a scantily clad assistant. It is something that has never been done anywhere else at any other time in human history, and it is worth writing about.

Your comment has absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with the topic in this parody. You should really learn when not to talk about this broadcast. It’s because of your comments that this broadcast has now become an inside joke on this site. Take this day to consider how your comments last year have shaped this site.

First I make the first comment on this parody in nearly 13 years. Then someone comes in to talk about an obscure television broadcast featuring 300 Boy Scouts, attempting to compare it to the subject of this parody. And finally, he writes, “you do not understand the significance of putting 300 Boy Scouts near a scantily clad assistant. It is something that has never been done anywhere else at any other time in human history, and it is worth writing about.”

Read his comment again: “...row naming would have been interesting to know about in 1951, because of how famous “Beat the Clock”‘s main assistant (“Roxanne”) was. Virtually nobody that year was not aware of her existence. And seeing as 300 Boy Scouts were put near a scantily clad assistant, which I think most people that already know about this broadcast have forgot, it makes perfect sense to try to connect it to row naming in a school, filled with students who would have no doubt been thinking about said assistant on “Beat the Clock”.” His comment was logical and factual. Quit trying to prevent the spread of this broadcast.

Goodness, no! This broadcast was the greatest thing to ever occur, and I would never do anything to prevent the spread of the news of this broadcast. In fact, I am honored that one of my parodies has references to this historic program in its comments. Imagine the thoughts of middle school boys in 1951!

“Okay, let’s count the rows of our students to check if everyone’s at class today. Row 1, everyone’s there. Same for Rows 2 and 3. And now we go to...Student, why are your pants wet?” “...I was thinking about that assistant on “Beat the Clock”, and I got too excited.” “Learn to control it next time, okay? Now, where was I? Oh, yes. Row 4, everyone is there. And now at Row 5...oh, no. You have wet pants too?” “Sorry, I think about that assistant on “Beat the Clock” so much.” “Very well, then. And finally, at row 6, let’s see what we have here...oh, come on! All the boys in this row have been affected by it again. Let me guess: the assistant on Beat the Clock?” “No, it was my father’s collection of pictures from the 1930s!”
