For teenagers up and down the country, A-level results day is (obviously) a big deal.

Not only does it mean finding out just how well you’ve been doing for the past two years, but for many students, it decides what the future holds too.

So, what do the rest of us do as teenagers await those all-important stats and prepare themselves for the next chapter? Attempt to be funny on Twitter, of course.

Thankfully, the students themselves aren’t the butt of the jokes as plenty of public figures – who should know better – are ready to be ridiculed for their input.

Exhibit A:

Don’t worry if your A level grades aren’t any good. I got a C and 2 Us. And I’m sitting here deciding which of my Range Rovers to use today

Clarkson sends a tweet along these lines every, single year. Everyone is bored of it:

It's not #ALevelResults2018 without a tweet from Jeremy Clarkson pic.twitter.com/kJolpYqVmS

Just think, within the next 24 hours Jeremy Clarkson would’ve tweeted about how his exam results were awful but he’s currently sitting on a yacht

My name is Jeremy Clarkson and I got 6 U’s and a D and I am rich hahahaha you are not rich

— sam xx (@joydivisam) August 16, 2018

That time of year when Jeremy clarkson tweets about how he got three U’s and is sat in a villa somewhere drinking a margarita

Silly takes on this format are better than any of the tweets sent with sincerity:

If you're getting your A-levels today, remember that Prince Harry got a D and a B. He flew helicopters for a living, retired at 30 and married Meghan Markle. You can do anything

— Mike Bird (@Birdyword) August 16, 2018

Students don’t fret. You know who didn’t get any A-Levels? Donald Trump, Kim Jong-Un (and Jeremy Corbyn got two Es). Something to think about...

— Tim Shipman (@ShippersUnbound) August 16, 2018

Always seems useful to point out I got where I am without any A-levels. That’s because I’m Scottish and didn’t sit any.

— Chris Deerin (@chrisdeerin) August 16, 2018

Getting your A-level results? Remember Prince Charles only got a B and a C yet still went to Cambridge and is next in line for the throne. #alevelresults2018

A special mention goes to Jake Humphrey, who still can’t get his story straight:

Then there’s the jokey advice that is actually depressingly accurate:

If your boyfriend or girlfriend got good A-level results today and is going to university, enjoy the rest of the summer together – you'll be dumped by Christmas.

— Justin Myers (@theguyliner) August 16, 2018

Dear students, your A-levels aren’t so important. What matters most is that your parents have a house in London or the south-east in which to put you up during internships and then to use as equity for you to buy your first home. Don’t change your grades! Change your parents.

— Aditya Chakrabortty (@chakrabortty) August 16, 2018

People getting your results today remember that in 10 years time when we’re all fighting each other for the last remains of the tinned rat meat no one will care about that D you got in English Literature. #alevelresults2018

— James Felton (@JimMFelton) August 16, 2018

Admittedly, the last one might not happen but still. The rest are all true.

Spare a thought for the teachers on Twitter, though. They haven’t worked this hard just to see snarky celebrities undermine the day, ok?

I know many people succeeded without A-Levels, but just for today I hope people resist these sorts of comments. I know my students worked tremendously hard on their education and don't deserve to have that undermined because it's possible to get by without. #alevelresults2018

If you know a college or sixth form teacher, please buy them a drink today.
