I think the audience laughs when the teacher said "others" because he is referring to some of his students as "nonhuman." In these kinds of shows, the writers seem to enjoy inserting jokes wherever they can so they can get as many laughs as possible. It seems to be quite common with shows where the target audience is teens and young adults.
