40 Hilarious Yearbook Photos That’ll Make You Wonder How These People Graduated

Your high school yearbook photo and accompanying quote is the last chance you get to make a final – and long-lasting – impression on your classmates. While most of us opt for the conventional poses and platitudes, some graduates use the opportunity to show the more offbeat side of their personality. So, from poets to plagiarists, here are 40 laugh-out-loud examples.

40. The unrelated Nguyens

Something tells us that Alice, Kim, Theresa and Vivian Nguyen were tired of being mistaken for quadruplets during their high school years. Knowing that their yearbook photos would be positioned together in alphabetical order, the students decided to offer just one word underneath each. Alice and Kim opted for “We” and “Are,” respectively, while Theresa and Vivian neatly finished things off with “Not” and “Related.”

39. The relieved leaver

“High school was easy, it was like riding a bike,” commented Randey Chung in a relatively common turn of phrase. But then things take a dark turn – suggesting that the teen was super relieved he no longer had to walk the school corridors. He added, “Except the bike was on fire and the ground was on fire and everything was on fire because it was hell.”

38. The shady twin

Lauren Powell proved that when it comes to throwing shade, sometimes twins do it best. As you’d expect, the student’s photo was placed alongside her sibling Allison. While the latter acknowledged their sisterhood with the quote, “I’m only 3.5 minutes younger,” Lauren responded, “Best 3.5 minutes of my life.”

37. The Nigerian prince

Self-deprecation is a surprisingly popular approach for those who want to go against the high school yearbook norm. Take Segun Akigbogun, for example. Referring to the scam that once flooded everybody’s inboxes back in the ’00s and his African heritage, the student wrote, “I’m that Nigerian prince [who] keeps emailing you.”
