Writers experienced this as kids

Why is Filmore there? The entire show is about he being a hall monitor and that never happens to him. Jesus, Filmore was amazing.

Because it’s a funny scenario kids can relate to?

My school never had hall monitors so I can’t relate

My school never had these

Filmore as a show is them "taking it too seriously"

Then it’s a funny “wow, other schools are weird” moment kids can laugh at.

My Gym Partner's a Monkey

because every has had to deal with some faggot getting a tiny sip of power and immediately abusing it to be a pedantic fuck towards others

the modern day equivalent is a moderator

It's just supposed to be a riff on cop and detective shows, it's not really a case of them taking it too seriously, that's just how the safety patrol operates in the setting.

You don't think Phoebe deserved to have the power go to her head?
She's Helga's henchman every other time.

what the fuck is a hall monitor?

Exactly, it’s something parents can laugh at too. It’s like an overbearing office manager transplanted into a school setting.

I never went to a school with a hall monitor, but I imagine this kind of thing is only slightly exaggerated.

Also even as a kid I didn't buy Mrs. Puff's boating school needing a hall monitor, there's only one class in the school. It's not worth taking too seriously but I remember thinking that was pretty contrived.

Do hall monitors even exist? We never had them when I was in school

Hall monitors was one of the things that cartoons made seem cool but I never experienced. Other examples
>Snow day
California
>School lockers
I always missed school orientation because of family vacation so the lockers always ran out for me.

Why would a kid be allowed to skip class to just aimlessly wander around the school?

I had a class in which a teacher who would ask a random kid to buy something from the ROTC store. The kid would take the whole period to do it

The simpsons one wasn't it
Bart found something he was good on, and because status quo he had to give up that for Lisa's happiness

which is the joke of the entire show, not a one off episode with a particular character

>California
Yeah but you guys close schools when the state is on fire, right?

A fire day doesn't sound like as much fun.

I was one of the top students and never really got into any trouble so I’d just wander around from time to time

Pussystates have snowball fights
California kids get to have fireball fights

It's why everyone's so tan and buff from lugging around flaming branches.

How the fuck would you run out of lockers?

Because it's a real human condition, see the Stanford Prison Experiment

My school had hall monitors, but the position was abolished, when 1 kid let girls not get in trouble for skipping class, if they showed him their tits.
