Pretend Awake Brother: Cute Schoolboy Dozing Off In Class

Pretend Awake Brother.

From Baidu Baike:

A little boy dozing in class, presumably afraid of the teacher finding out, does his best to hide [his dozing], keeping his eyes open and shaking his head, his adorable self being caught on camera. Having been watched hundreds of thousands of times on China’s Youku video website, this little boy has been named “Pretend Awake Brother” by netizens.

Poor kid.

庸忽名卜合法:

So cute! I just want to hug and kiss him…

奧特嫚ヽ冷饮:

So hilarious!!

寂寞的小番茄:

Hilarious, I’ve had this experience in the past too.

肆虐河豚:

Elementary students these days are very different from the past, all transported to and from school in school buses that are comparable to armored trucks, personally handed off from the head teacher to the parents. For safety, even bringing mobile phones to school are no longer strange.

fujianwh:

Primary school students have better mobile phones than us!

bossdongli:

More valiant than I was back then.

Are eyes rolled-back eyes cute?

  1. What brother is doing is not dozing-off, but loneliness.

  2. I know the feeling. I spent all of last semester doing the same thing in 地方政府学.

  3. I’ve had those days … time flies like periodic blackouts

  4. Cute? He looks possessed!

  5. Brother was watching Mondial the whole night :-)

  6. LMAO~super Q lor~just like me back at high school~i even played with my pen to make others think that i was awake, but with my eyes closed~hahaha

  7. Ashley Schaffer BMW

    too much xi yang yang

  8. I don’t know why this is funny. I think you will find it was filmed in the Bao An Youth training centre.

    This was just an exam and he passed.

  9. Is nobody going to comment on how he is way too young to be in a classroom? he looks about 3 or 4…thats barely preschool age, yet he’s sitting in a desk row, in an actual classroom, not even a preschool-style classroom….???

    i think this school thing in china has gone a little too far…….

  10. Obviously is in a class w my ex manufacturing professor. I’ve even seen a classmate go to sleep laying on our classroom floor (carpet). injecting adrenaline is useless

  11. LMAO!!! All my students llook like that, i thought they was just dumb lol

  12. Who knows? Maybe this is a future Einstein…

  13. He’s probably been up half the night doing homework and music practise and hours of swimming and gymnastics. Poor dear.

  14. He doesn’t just look tired. He looks totally miserable to be there!

  15. Happy everyday!

    How old is this kid like 3 years old?

  16. Sad: he looks like many of my university students!

    • THe child should be out socializing and playing. .. not stuck in that horrible classroom with it’s rote, monotonous robotic. . ” I say it you repeat it” drills that never end.

  17. come on kid, get with the program

  18. That’s me when I was having sex with ytdevils–she is as interesting in bed as her comments in here.

  19. Make someone’s eyes roll back in their heads. ChinaSMACK Personals.

  20. hmmmmm…
    based on the most recent news of Chinese toddlers smoking to their heart’s contents…perhaps this toddler is an alcoholic.

    his parents are probably standing by saying:
    - “he cries all night until we give him a bottle of TsingTao!”
    - “he bangs his head unless we give him beer!”
    - “how cute! he’s the youngest alcoholic!! we’re famous parents!”

  21. Cute kid.

    Again — “this little boy has been named “Pretend Awake Brother” by netizens.” — has anyone noticed? Everything good has “brother” or “sister” appended to it, where things abhorred are not given such a title.

    Don’t get me wrong, the kid is cute. Sorry, “brother”.

  22. what an ugly little thing lol.

  23. that’s why mommy told us not to party till late night

  24. But can you imagine the play this would get on America’s Funniest Home Videos? I smell a winner here!

  25. He certainly has the facial expression for it–could get a job working in just about any government office in the world with a face like that.
