Explanation

Experiment

The joke plays on the dark and unexpected reaction of the students to the teacher's question. Instead of being shocked or silent, they readily admit to suicidal thoughts and start discussing them casually. It's funny because it highlights the absurdity of such a serious topic being addressed so openly and nonchalantly in a classroom setting.
