Teachers pulled off the ultimate prank on their school principal, who had no clue, and the internet enjoyed the joke and loved her response even more.
The viral video was shared by @emihle_mhlaba2 on TikTok, and viewers were in stitches watching the scene unfold.
Teachers freeze in place for laughs
In the clip, the school’s staff room looks completely normal, with the last few teachers still finding their perfect spots to join all the other teachers frozen mid-action. Some are seated holding their phones; others are perched on desks with one leg up. A few are standing on chairs, gazing dramatically out the window, while others are paused mid-walk as if someone hit the freeze button on life.

Then the unsuspecting principal walks in. She freezes, trying to make sense of the whole scene. After a moment of pure confusion, she cracks up, realises it's a prank, and belts out "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas. The way she breaks into songs and dances like she's at a Friday night party takes the prank to a whole new level. When she finally loses it with laughter, the teachers drop the freeze act, and the whole room erupts with joy.
