A viral video making rounds on Reddit features a scene that has viewers in stitches, showcasing the dramatic conclusion of an exam where one student, played by a young Elijah Mikaelson, tries to submit his paper just a tad too late. The scene unfolds with the examiner announcing, "One minute, one minute, please. Time, thank you. Would you all please put down your pens and bring your papers to the front of the room. Thank you. Well done. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." However, the comedic twist comes when the examiner sternly tells one tardy student, "Oh, I'm sorry, you're too late. I gave you plenty of warnings about time. You failed. Sorry." The student then boldly asks, "Excuse me, do you know who I am?" to which the examiner nonchalantly replies, "I had absolutely no idea." The student then cunningly responds with, "Good," and swiftly places his paper amongst the others.

This video resonated with many viewers, not only for its humor but also for its relatable content. Reddit users chimed in with their reactions, drawing parallels to other popular media and personal experiences. One user, Young Elijah Mikaelson, noted the similarity to a scene from the TV show "Suits" where the character Mike throws papers on the floor after being suspected of cheating. Another user appreciated the cinematography, specifically mentioning the symbolic use of an Apple product on the desk, which foreshadowed the video's conclusion.

Some viewers remembered seeing a similar advertisement in New Zealand, sparking curiosity about whether an American version exists. One comment humorously suggested replacing the audio track with the Mentos theme song, envisioning it as a clever commercial. The video also triggered nostalgic memories, with users reminiscing about old New Zealand ads and personal school experiences. One user recounted a similar incident in a college class where they defiantly left after submitting a quiz early, remarking, "You don't even know my name."

The video serves as a humorous and nostalgic reminder of those universally awkward exam moments and the timeless appeal of clever advertising. Whether it's the striking resemblance to a "Suits" scene or the clever twist at the end, this video captures the essence of classic school humor and leaves a lasting impression on its audience.

I did something similar in a big stadium seating class in college Professor would do extra credit pop quizzes and have somebody go around and collect all of them. The quizzes are always towards the beginning of class After turning mine in I grabbed all my stuff and started walking out. The professor in front of everyone said "your quiz won't count if you leave early" I said "you don't even know my name" And left

I feel bad about it, but I don't remember the names of any of my public school teachers. I remember two of my college professors.

Is there an American version of this ad? Because I remember seeing it, but wouldn't have seen it in New Zealand. If there is, I don't recall the scratcher ticket, just that the guy didn't have enough time on the exam.
