8 Weirdly Out Of Character Classic Simpsons Jokes
Skinner’s “Principals Do It 9 Months A Year” Apron (Sweet Seymour Skinner’s Baadasssss Song – Season 5)
When Principal Skinner loses his job, we see him at home wearing a “Principals Do It 9 Months A Year” novelty apron, which seems like an oddly racy choice for a guy who’s so straight-laced, he doesn’t even understand the Mad Magazine slogan “Up with mini-skirts!”, he forbids his army platoon to sing a chant about a lady with a hole in her underpants, and he refuses to even say the word “ass” (though he will think it under telepathic circumstances).
Unless, of course, the reverse-implication here is that Skinner doesn’t even get that there’s innuendo in the apron and thinks it’s a very literal slogan about principals’ jobs. This reading is absurd and hilarious, but might not totally be out of the realm of possibility for the man so free of whimsy, he once delivered the line “The times they are a-becoming quite different,” and who took great pleasure in the sound of his uniformed student body blinking in unison. I guess if Skinner’s never even heard of Jurassic Park, we’ll have to chalk this apron thing up to simple ignorance on the part of Billy and the Cloneasaurus’ creator. Keep reading

8 Weirdly Out Of Character Classic Simpsons Jokes
Because the Internet exists for the sole purpose of making ordered non-topical lists about our favorite things.
Three quick notes before we begin:
1) None of this is actual criticism; it’s nerdy, “Genius At Work”-shirted nitpicking purely so we Simpsons-obsessives can talk about The Simpsons. Think of it like a Bible Study, but with more important source material.
2) The examples here are confined to seasons 2-10.
3) This list doesn’t include out-of-character moments where the out-of-characterness is the joke itself, like when Homer puts on glasses and instantly recites the Pythagorean Theorem. This is a very important distinction (in a very important internet list).
That said, onto the weird moments in the best thing ever made!

The Worst Parenting Moments from Reality TV Moms [Click for all]
Mom lets daughter cry out for help on national television.
The Show: The Real Housewives of New Jersey
The Accused: Teresa Giudice (and every mom in the room who let her daughter go through with this)
Finest Moment: If you’re an adult and you think your life is interesting enough to warrant being a cast member on a reality television show, you can sign that contract without giving it a second thought. Now if you have a few children all under the age of consent maybe you could use a moment to think it over. Especially if your family is in the middle of some inner turmoil. No? Still want to do it? You sure? Well at least you’ll have the precious memories of your child crying out for help accessible on Bravo’s blog when you’re putting together their wedding video montage in a few years - More moments

Mom glues false eyelashes onto crying, sick toddler.
The Show: Toddlers and Tiaras
The Accused: Every mom who agreed to this shit
Finest Moment: Child beauty pageants are meant to highlight a girl’s (or boy’s) natural beauty and talent. As AttorneyBarbie from Yahoo Answers explains, “its gonna make them poised and teach them good life stuff.” Of course it’s noble for a mom to want their child to have their moment in the sun and look their best while doing it. It’s less noble to hold your sick, crying five year old down while you glue fake eyelashes on them in the name of beauty - More moments

Mom screams at other mom until children are crying.
The Show: Dance Moms
The Accused: Christi, mother of Chloe
Finest Moment: Dance is a sport and therefore competitive by nature. Every mother wants their daughter to be the best she can be, and sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the spirit of competition. Remember future parents of the world: nothing shows your kid you love them like showing how much you hate other people’s kids. More moments.
