The Simpsons: Edna Krabappel’s 10 Greatest Moments

8. Edna Eats Children €“ Treehouse Of Horror V

Edna Eats Kids1 In true Edna style, she reacts to news that the school is using Jimbo Jones as burger-meat with a simple 'Ha!' Not being the most caring of teachers for her children, in many ways her descent into cannibalism is something of a natural progression. Inf fact, you almost wonder whether she'd done this before. "Seymour, this sandwich tastes so young and impudent," are not the words of a stranger to feasting on youngsters. With Wendall's penalty for dropping a pencil being a detention date with the meat tenderiser, you almost admire the previously square Principal Skinner for such a forward-thinking method of cutting the school's meat costs. While Edna indulges her child-eating fantasies in this episode, it leads to her packing on the pounds somewhat €“ what effect would that have on her man-eating ways? If she is going to be eating kiddie burgers every day, she may need to pay the Master Sushi chef a few more visits. Another delightful hint that she may have done all this before is that throughout the whole episode she seems even more calm and detached than normal, compared to Skinner's more aggressive threat to Bart of finally eating his shorts. For Edna, it's as simple as writing 'eat a stick of butter' on the board as homework.
