We have had a lot of very serious lists on the site lately so I am posting a totally silly list. I can not vouch for whether these are authentic answers to the English GCSE exam, but regardless, they are funny.
1. Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all wrote in hydraulics.They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere.
2. The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible,Guinessis, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of their children,Cain, asked, “Am I my brother’s son?”
3. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. He died before he ever reached Canada.
4. Solomom had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines.
5. The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn’t have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a female moth.
6. Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name.
7. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline.
8. In the Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled the biscuits, and threw the java.
9. Eventually, the Romans conquered the Greeks. History calls people Romans because they never stayed in one place for very long.
10. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out: “Tee hee, Brutus.”
11. Nero was a cruel tyranny who would torture his subjects by playing the fiddle to them.
12. Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was cannonized by Bernard Shaw. Finally Magna Carta provided that no man should be hanged twice for the same offense.
13. In midevil times most people were alliterate. The greatest writer of the futile ages was Chaucer, who wrote many poems and verses and also wrote literature.
14. Another story was William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son’s head.
15. Queen Elizabeth was the “Virgin Queen.” As a queen she was a success. When she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted “hurrah.”
16. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes and started smoking. And Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper.
17. The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies,comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couplet. Romeo’s last wish was to be laid by Juliet.
18. Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.
19. During the Renaissance America began. Christopher Columbus was a great navigator who discovered America while cursing about the Atlantic. His ships were called the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Fe.
20. Later, the Pilgrims crossed the ocean, and this was called Pilgrim’s Progress. The winter of 1620 was a hard one for the settlers. Many people died and many babies were born. Captain John Smith was responsible for all this.
21. One of the causes of the Revolutionary War was the English put tacks in their tea. Also, the colonists would send their parcels through the post without stamps. Finally the colonists won the War and no longer had to pay for taxis. Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin discovered electricity by rubbing two cats backwards and declared, “A horse divided against itself cannot stand.”. Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead.
22. Soon the Constitution of the United States was adopted to secure domestic hostility. Under the constitution the people enjoyed the right to keep bare arms.
23. Abraham Lincoln became America’s greatest Precedent. Lincoln’s mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation. On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show. The believed assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a supposedly insane actor. This ruined Booth’s career.
24. Meanwhile in Europe, the enlightenment was a reasonable time. Voltaire invented electricity and also wrote a book called Candy.
25. Gravity was invented by Issac Walton. It is chiefly noticeable in the autumn when the apples are falling off the trees.
26. Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of children. In between he practiced on an old spinster which he kept up in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Bach was the most famous composer in the world and so was Handel. Handel was half German half Italian and half English. He was very large.
27. Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this.
28. The French Revolution was accomplished before it happened and catapulted into Napoleon. Napoleon wanted an heir to inherit his power, but since Josephine was a baroness, she couldn’t have any children.
29. The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire is In the East and the sun sets in the West.
30. Queen Victoria was the longest queen. She sat on a thorn for 63 years. She was a moral woman who practiced virtue. Her death was the final event which ended her reign.
31. The nineteenth century was a time of a great many thoughts and inventions. People stopped reproducing by hand and started reproducing by machine. The invention of the steamboat caused a network of river to spring up. Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick raper, which did the work of a hundred men.
32. Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbis. Charles Darwin was a naturalist who wrote the Organ of the Species. Madman Curie discovered radio. And Karl Marx became one of the Marx brothers.
33. The First World War, caused by the assignation of the Arch-Duck by an anahist, ushered in a new error in the anals of human history.













i don’t think any of these is funny. not at all.
LOL, freakin hilarious! What exam was this from? For people to learn english? Very good list!
Oh my freakin’ God….and they actually gave these idiots a college diploma??????? I worked my ass off and made sure every
‘i’ was dotted and every “T” was crossed….i fretted for nights on end to make sure I had every word just perfect…..and then I read this????????? HOLY COW!!!!!!!
#16 is proof that Francis Drake was one of Chuck Norris’ aliases.
This list is so *****ing EPIC, man! I don’t know who posted it, but you are GOD for doing so! Thanks!
In grade seven, our teacher gave us an assignment to write a short story. In our stories, we were to use creative verbs, unlike the laid back “said” and “went.” In my story, I made two of my characters Mr. Said and Mr. Went.
She thought is was priceless.
LMAO………………………………………
this one was amazing.. my fav list of all!!!
It’s hilarious and very brave. Nevertheless, they are willing to take the risk to write such cool answers. Never thought of that.. KUDOS
This is so funny!!Shame it can’t possibly be real though as ppl that stupid would’nt have survived to the GCSES lol
Oh and i have one to add, my history teacher told us it after having been to a conference, ”The Nazis used terror to scare the *****e out of people”
Brave for his/ her leaving cert history exam lol
LOL LOL LOL..very entertaining!
#11 Nero was a cruel tyranny who would torture his subjects by playing the fiddle to them.

@Hayloiuy
i have the same sentiment too. i should’ve done that in school before. i always daydreamed of causing mischief to teachers in a less harmful way
This is a real answer from a test in India. The question was to write an essay on a cow. The essay goes like this …
“The cow is a successful animal. Also he is quadrupud, and because he is
female, he give milk,but will do so when he is got child.He is same like
God,sacred to Hindus and useful to man.But he has got four legs together.
Two are forward and two are afterwards.
“His whole body can be utilised for use. More so the milk. What can it do?
Various ghee, butter,cream, curd, why and the condensed milk and so forth.
Also he is useful to cobbler, watermans and mankind generally.
“His motion is slow only because he is of asitudinious species. Also his
other motion is much useful to trees, plants as well as making flat cakes in
hand and drying in the sun. Cow is the only animal that extricates his feeding
after eating. Then afterwards she chew with his teeth whom are situated in
the inside of the mouth. He is incessantly in the meadows in the grass.
“His only attacking and defending organ is the horn, specially so when he is
got child. This is done by knowing his head whereby he causes the weapons
to be paralleled to the ground of the earth and instantly proceed with great
velocity forwards.
“He has got tails also, but not like similar animals. It has hairs on the
other end of the other side. This is done to frighten away the flies which
alight on his cohoa body whereupon he gives hit with it.
The palms of his feet are soft unto the touch. So the grasses head is not
crushed. At night time have poses by looking down on the ground and he shouts
his eyes like his relatives, the horse does not do so.
“This is the cow.”
P.S.: We are informed that the candidate passed the exam.
#27 – “He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him.” — I imagine this did happen with Beethoven. Made me laugh out loud, though.
This list makes me want to reread “Dave Barry Slept Here” yet again.
And for what it’s worth, I believe that these could be real…I have quite a few friends who are schoolteachers and they have some interesting papers and exams to grade sometimes!
You have to include the answer a kid at my cousins school gave. the question…
WHAT IS BRAVERY? HE WROTE, ‘THIS IS…’ AND LEFT THE EXAM TOTALLY BLANK.
Might have been an appropriate response if the question was "What is foolishness?"
wow, those english students are really terrible at exams, well this can only conculed to one finale answer scottish students are better!!
haha
one funny answer to a question was:
Q.’There are six animals living in the Artic what are they?’
A.’two seals and three *crosses out* four polar bears.’
This had me crying with laughter!!! hahaha!
I’m gonna stop at number 8 because I’m afraid that I’m gonna ***** myself from laughing so hard in front of everybody.
# 30 Queen Victoria was the longest queen…
# 23 Abraham Lincoln became America’s greatest Precedent. Lincoln’s mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands.
Hilarious, all of them!
Great list.

:L
the best list on this site
. I havent laughed so hard for a long time .
One of the best lists I’ve ever read. So freaking funny (especially 18). Please make another one.
These are from Richard Lederer’s “Anguished English” books.
Four downward sloping lines above either hip, then a thicker arch just over his navel. Savous sighed, closing his eyes and sinking against the rock wall behind him. It may mean nothing to you, but I must say that Im proud of you. He didnt look up. He surrounded her but didnt help her. Her gifts were not of the same caliber, as they were divinely enhanced. She rubbed her belly. Hyle was there, kneeling beside her. She needed to do this. Her fists closed on the tasseled ends of her belt. Radin was there, backing her up. She stepped back again. Her lips parted under the soft caress of his breath, but he didnt kiss her. A tiny bud that burst alive when warm lips slid over it. She caught sight of Tykir and Brevin kissing behind him, but not much more. She took long, glorious moments to simply enjoy the tingles that spread throughout her limbs. Theres no reason I should flourish. Irin had been beside herself with the news. We arent exactly a monogamous society. Because she could not deny him—deny them—any longer.
Here is a good one…
“Louis IV had magnificent balls.”
“The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire is In the East and the sun sets in the West.”
Hahahahahaha!
i feel like the biggest nerd but i happened to have read this in class when i had no work and I must have looked like a creepy girl just chuckling and trying to muffle her laughs at this, i laughed so hard i started crying….so i am probably super weird to quite a few people ha
I can honestly say that this is by far, hands down, the funniest thing I have read on the internet in a VERY long time. I was laughing so hard I could hardly breathe! Thank you for this! I can’t WAIT to be a professor and find my own little gems from well intentioned students.
Maybe you didn’t find them funny cuz you don’t know enough of history
This made me to laugh and crying without intermission!!
The kid who wrote, "[Moses] died before he ever reached Canada" was absolutely correct and should have received partial credit.
Those answers are totally possible… students are very confused the most of the times when a test comes and they are not well prepared…. they are used to manage a lot of information, and answer anything just to fill the blank, and perhaps beat the odds. Happens all the times… said by a 20 years experienced high school teacher
Sometimes people just give up and write stupid stuff though simple despair. Once in a metal work exam they gave us a picture of a furnace and said "Name this furnace." I was screwed anyway so I wrote "Bob"
My best friend wrote as an answer on a history exam that the battle of the bulge was something that happened in a boys pants. She got an A!
I've never seen so many horrible answers. Funny, but wrong. lol. Don Quixote.. lol.
some people are special
Sigh sadly I can believe these were actually real answers and can only quote a great man. “Cocaine is a hell of a drug.” Rest in Peace Rick James.
I think I just burst my coronary artery reading ths article . It is by far the most hilarious article I ever clapped my eyer on. Love u Jfrater and Listverse keep up the good task. Having read enough of my own classmates answers when it comes to Literature or History, I truely believe all these to b authentic.
None of these are real GCSE answers, because I took my GCSEs last year, and the questions are not on these topics. Still, this is hilarious.
27 and thirty are very funny.
Hahaha…. LOL… LOL
I think you'll find that Geographically, Britain is of 0 degrees longitude, and is neither in the east nor west (well, Grenwhich Obsevatory isn't anyway)
HHHHHHHHHAHAHA.. GREAT LIST.. Never seen such stuff before :! Keep it up
What some porcupines do for a man…
lol @ 21 and 23!! he died in 1790 and is still dead (good to know that he is not a zombie…) and apparently Lincoln was building log cabins from the womb… which I have to say is pretty impressive.
(meanwhiile, in Europe…)
Franklin dies in 1790 and is still dead. hahaha
lollllz
Once in our Bio paper we had:
Observe the diagram (it was scurvy) Since it was photocopied it had come very dark in my friend’s paper where only 2 white circles were visible. They were the teeth but
Q. Which is the above disease?
A. The solar system
Q. Name any two symptoms of the above disease.
A. The Sun, Moon, Stars and Planets.
these are clever… more real life examples are at funnyexam.com
What is "GCSE"? I dropped out halfway thru the eleventh grade, to smoke pot. I am (WAY) *****ing smarter than these idiots. I also get the highbrow irony of some of this. This test must have been given in California. (Either that or cyberspace) Hard to believe (no, not really!) that there are people this stupid. Rent the movie "Idiocracy", it's funny as *****, but not if you think about how close it comes to being non-fiction.
I mean, since we live in a "nukular" age, "irregardless" of what current jackass illuminatti-controlled puppet lives in the white house, but that's "a whole nother" story, ain't it…
ROFLMFAO! Funny *****!
beethoven expired lol
turnip, I was just looking through the latest list on "Stories Behind Classical Compositions" and I saw your post in the "Latest Comments" box at the side. Since Beethoven is in that list, I thought you were just being obnoxious for a minute there before I realized you were in a different list! Hehehe. Now that I've got things straight I came here and read what you were referring to, and you're right. That is hysterical!
LOLOLOL!!! These are awesome!!!
DD
Playing Trivial Pursuit once I had to ask the following question to a friend of my mother. "Which beetle did the Ancient Egyptians revere?" Her answer: "John Lennon". Ha ha.
