* CloudCuckoolander: Mr. Greene, Hubble, Head of Science. Often AsleepInClass, he still thinks the students are caned for misbehaving, often arrives in the wrong classroom, and uses the urinal as a proper toilet. Justified as his senility is due to his advanced age, having taught at the school for 40 years.

* FartsOnFire: In one episode introduction (with Keith demonstrating science experiments to his apathetic class), Keith demonstrates the power of methane by extinguishing the soap bubble using a flame on a stick, but before that, he asks Jo to get the fire extinguisher. Whilst she does that, she farts and as he accidentally puts the flame close to her bottom, the flame grows bigger with the gas. The class laugh at this, and after the experiment is demonstrated, one of them asks to do the fart thing again.

* CloudCuckoolander: Mr. Greene, Head of Science. Often AsleepInClass, he still thinks the students are caned for misbehaving, often arrives in the wrong classroom, and uses the urinal as a proper toilet.
