Basic Trope: A teacher who is a villain.
- Straight: Mr. Evulz is a teacher who has been known to commit crimes, and treats his students horribly (including giving all of them an F--) for no real reason.
- Exaggerated:
- Mr. Evulz is a Complete Monster and Omnicidal Maniac.
- All of the teachers at the school are portrayed as evil.
- Downplayed:
- Sadist Teacher
- Stern Teacher
- Mr. Evulz is a villain, but in an Affably Evil way.
- Justified:
- Mr. Evulz works at a Sucky School or Boarding School of Horrors.
- Mr. Evulz was once an idealistic teacher, but the stress of teaching duties turned him into an Apathetic Teacher and eventually a villain.
- Mr. Evulz is a Child Hater - he only got the job when he found out he'd be in close proximity to his victims.
- Inverted:
- The students are evil.
- Mr. Good is a very friendly teacher.
- Subverted: Mr. Evulz, despite all his apparent villainy, is actually Good All Along.
- Double Subverted:
- He has a Face–Heel Turn later.
- He was lying about being a good guy.
- Parodied: Mr. Evulz just constantly engages in Cartoonish Supervillainy and is far too nice to be a real villain. The worst he can do is Poke the Poodle and give a student an A instead of an A+.
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted:
- There aren't any teachers in the work.
- Teachers aren't portrayed as evil.
- Enforced:
- The creator of the story wants to go a step beyond Sadist Teacher / Stern Teacher and have one as an outright villain.
- The teacher is based on one that the creator of the story once had.
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: The staff takes note and fires Mr. Evulz immediately.
- Discussed: "Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone!"
- Conversed: "How in the world has this teacher not gotten fired yet?!"
- Played for Drama: A character looks up to their teacher, who turns out to be Evil All Along, resulting in a Broken Pedestal.
Back to Evil Teacher. If you don't, I'll make you write down "I will go back to the main page" repeatedly - if you fail at that, I'll kill you.
