Abstract
Some teachers have the natural ability to captivate their students, while others struggle to maintain classroom control. Utilizing comedy as a tool to deliver and maintain an audience's attention is something that comics and GATEs have in common. Some teachers use videos, memes, or one-liners to their class laugh.
