Gen Z is the funniest generation. That’s a fact.
The students at North Farmington High School in Farmington Hills, Michigan are prime examples of that. Each year, the seniors at the school are allowed to go all out for their senior ID pictures. And yes, it’s exactly as hilarious as you think it is.
Let’s go check out the best of the 2022 IDs!
This is uncanny.
I know that ID says Julius Shrum (what a fantastic name), but I’m not entirely sure that isn’t actually Ed Sheeran. The resemblance has me doing double and triple takes, y’all.
He got in one little fight, and his mom got scared.
“She said, ‘You’re movin’with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air.'”
You know how the rest goes. Tyler even got the bent up hat brim right. Yes, we used to do that back in the day. We committed so many fashion sins in the ’90s.
Night of 1000 Barbz.
McKenzie here decided to go full Barb (that’s what Nicki’s fans are called) and dress up as Nicki’s iconic Cosmopolitan photoshoot. She set the whole tone for her year with this picture. Legends only.
Justice for the Patil twins.
Parvati and Padma deserved way more screen time in the movies than they got. And while we’re at it, justice for Peeves the Poltergeist.
ANYWAY, I love that these two went for matching pictures. It’s so cute!
Welcome to Scoops Ahoy.
Eli did what had to be done with his magnificent head of hair. We need the new season of Stranger Things , guys. We haven’t had a new season since 2019. We deserve this.
I’m gonna be honest: my favorite IDs are the meme ones.
It takes someone truly funny to turn themselves into an iconic meme, and damn if Rianne didn’t nail it. Thank you for your service, Rianne. I salute you.
Interesting.
Few memes have the staying power of this still of Miranda Cosgrove. I just wanna give a shoutout to Courtney for bringing actual props to her picture. The red can shows a strong attention to detail. 10/10, I have no notes.
That’s what I call leaning in.
There’s not a lot of places you can go when your name is Donald and it’s senior ID day, so I applaud him for leaning right in.
This one broke me.
I laughed at a lot of these, but none of them got me quite like Seth’s. His facial expression is absolutely perfect . The shock mixed with the vacant gaze is just…chef’s kiss.
Not in front of Hugsy!
Ramya and her Hugsy prop perfectly nailed Joey’s expression of shock. A few students chose to do a moment from Friends as their picture, but that penguin plushy just put Ramya over the top for me.
Having said that…
We HAVE to talk about Felicity’s WEDDING DRESS. This girl went out and found a pretty close approximation of Rachel’s wedding dress from the pilot of Friends . I love the detail she put into this!
They did what had to be done.
Hannah and Amelia took advantage of their places in the alphabet, and I love that journey for them. Shoutout to Hannah for having the perfect hair for this joke.
Can we fix it?
Yes we can! I don’t know what I can say about Joshua’s picture that the picture itself doesn’t say for me. It’s the child-size hard hat for me.
This is dedication.
Jessica here went full matchmaker from Mulan , and I love her for it. She brought honor to her family with this senior ID photo. I hope she wins 1000 wars.
Trust a Swiftie to understand the assignment.
This is an awesome re-creation of one of Taylor’s most iconic looks and phrases. I bet she had that shirt made and everything. You love to see it!
WHY DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?
This kid really showed up in a whole super suit. Not all heroes wear capes — and according to Edna Mode, they shouldn’t anyway — but they do wear lycra body suits.
Fairy Godmother realness.
I’m glad to see one of the best films of all time ( Shrek 2 ) get the respect it deserves from the next generation. Shoutout to Leah for finding the perfect wig for the occasion.
Walter, is that you?
It’s the fake beard for me. A Breaking Bad costume is as recognizable as it is classic, but this one is truly elevated with that full face mask. It doubles as a solid COVID mask.
Every day is Wednesday with Ella.
I think my favorite part of Ella’s picture is just how damn good her facial expression is. It’s the perfect amount of angry, angsty teen. And her braids look perfect, of course.
Let’s finish off with one final meme.
You gotta give it to Keziah for this one. She got the facial expression behind her hand perfect, and her nails look amazing. I bow down to you, queen.
