Hippie Teacher: Difference between revisions

** Mr. Mackey, the school counselor on ''[[South Park]]'', is almost a [[Captain Ersatz]] for Mr. Van Driesen, since he is constantly using the catchphrase "Mmmkay?" He doesn't quite fit the profile visually with his suit and tie and short haircut, but he is a lot more "empathetic" toward the children than teacher Mr. Garrison (who often loses his temper when the students get unruly).

* Mr. O' Neill on ''[[Daria]]'', who is [[Expy|scarily similar]] to Mr. Van Driessen save for the fact that he's not overtly a hippie. When Daria and Jane come to visit his apartment in one episode, it's filled with new age-y paraphernalia, and he offers them tea with a gem tincture.

* ''[[Recess]]'': Ms. Grotke is the most obvious example, but according to [[The Movie]], Principal Prickly and Ms. Finster were [[Hippie Teacher|Hippie Teachers]] back in the sixties.

* Mr. Burkenbake on ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'', literally a [[Hippie Teacher]]. Also Mrs. Sunshine in "No Substitute for Crazy" {{spoiler|until Timmy wishes her into Mr Crocker's job, and she reveals herself [[Evil Teacher|to be a scarily competent Fairy Hunter]] whose professional name is Miss Doombringer}}.
