'''Agnes Skinner''' (voiced by [[Tress MacNeille]]) is Principal [[Seymour Skinner]]'s mother, with whom he still lives. Her voice and her laugh are reminiscent of Phyllis Diller. She represents the overbearing harridan of a mother who emasculates her son.
+
'''Agnes Skinner''' is the strict and bitter mother of [[Seymour Skinner]]. She is very harshly controlling of Seymour, and treats him like a mother would treat a small child, once grounding him because he did not say who was at the door after answering it. She hates Seymour's choice in women, especially [[Edna Krabappel]]. Agnes has married a total of four times, once with Skinner's father, [[Sheldon Skinner]], and following Sheldon's death she married three more times, each time to a tow truck driver.<ref name="Midnight Towboy">"[[Midnight Towboy]]"</ref>
  
−
When Agnes makes an appearance, she is usually controlling some aspect of Skinner's life, often snapping "Seymour!" in order to get his attention. Agnes Skinner shares a clearly unhealthy relationship with her son, which often borders on psychosis. Examples include Agnes having slashed Seymour's inflatable bath pillow as part of an argument, covering up "her half of the television" with cardboard to spite Seymour, spending her Friday nights in the house with Seymour drawing silhouettes, forcing him to perform a "daily mole check".

== Biography ==
 +
=== Past ===
 +
[[File:Agnes Skinner Young.png|thumb|left|A younger Agnes Skinner doing the pole vault]]
 +
In the 1920s, Agnes used to be a wing walker on early planes and performed. Her videos were shown in museums.<ref name="[[Midnight Rx]]">"[[Midnight Rx]]"</ref> During the 50s, Agnes was an Pole Vaulter and competed during the 1952 Summer Olympics. However, when she was going over the bar, Seymour kicked in her stomach, knocking the bar off.<ref name="Boy Meets Curl">"[[Boy Meets Curl]]"</ref>
  
−
When Seymour is out of the house, Agnes phones him regularly demanding to be taken out of the bath, shielded from the glare of car lights on the street, and other such quotidian necessities. Seymour has been heard commenting that his mother hid his car keys as a punishment for his talking to a woman on the phone. On the episode were Seymour proposes to [[Edna Krabappel]], Agnes then says "Great now there is going to be three in the bed", revealing that Seymour still sleeps in his mothers bed.
+
In the 1980s, Agnes dated [[Charles Montgomery Burns]]. However, she suspected him of cheating on her and went to [[Simpson and O'Donnell Detective Agency]] to enlist their help to identify who he was cheating on her with. While there, Agnes flirted with [[Abraham Simpson]], but ended up going with [[Billy O'Donnell]] to follow Burns. After O'Donnell went missing, Agnes became hard to find until Abe found her at the [[Springfield Squidport|marina]]. They then went on a long date together until Agnes told Abe what had happened to Billy.<ref>"[[Shoddy Heat]]"</ref>
  
−
Her hobbies include making silhouettes, collecting pictures of cakes (though she does not like the taste - she considers it "too sweet"), and causing trouble. She often makes harsh comments towards other characters, especially [[Marge Simpson]] and [[Edna Krabappel]], such as "These people can smell weakness. Weakness named Marge!", "Gimbel's is gone, Marge. Long gone. You're Gimbel's!" and "Go spend time with your floozy ... [s]he knows I'm kidding! (''whispering'') I'm not kidding!"
+
=== Personality ===
 +
When she first appeared as a kindly old woman who embarrassingly called her son "Spanky". According to the DVD audio commentary it is said that her current mean streak can be attributed to the incident involving Bart that took place in that episode in which, while sitting in a urinal stall, Bart caused the toilets to explode. Currently, she is harshly controlling of Seymour, who spends more time with her than with his old girlfriend, [[Edna Krabappel]].
  
−
She is a member of the [[Springfield Investorettes Club]] and is a member of the [[National Rifle Association]].
+
=== Relationship with Seymour ===
 +
Agnes shares an unhealthy relationship with her son, which often borders on psychosis. Examples include Agnes covering up "her half of the television" with cardboard to spite Seymour. When Seymour was out of the house, Agnes phoned him regularly demanding to be taken out of the bath, shielded from the glare of car lights on the street, and other such petty requests. She hid his car keys as a punishment for his talking to a woman on the phone. Seymour himself is very obedient and almost distressingly physically and emotionally close to her (for example, when Edna agreed to marry Seymour, Agnes murmured under her breath "three in the bed!"). Her catchphrase is "Sey-mour!", often used to snap [[Seymour Skinner|her son]]'s attention (as opposed to [[Superintendent Chalmers]]'s catchphrase, "Skin-NER!"). She also uses him to do her bidding.<ref>"[[Moe Letter Blues]]"</ref>
  
−
Footage exists of a young Agnes as a flapper and engaging in a wingwalking display. At that time, she was an attractive young woman with a bob haircut. Many years later however, she sports a wig (revealed in "[[All's Fair in Oven War]]") and wore Jennifer Lopez's infamous green Grammy Awards dress at [[Homer Simpson|Homer]]'s roast. [[Sideshow Mel]] remarked that the dress was kept in place due to the collective will of everyone in the room. To which she responded "You fruits wouldn't know what to do with it!"
+
Some of her resentment to Seymour apparently traces back before Seymour was born. During the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, she competed in the pole vaulting event while 9 months pregnant.<ref name="Boy Meets Curl"/> When Seymour made his first kick, he hit the bar, causing her to lose and crushing her dreams.
  
−
Agnes originally appeared in the season one, "[[The Crepes of Wrath]]", as an apparently kindly old woman who embarrassingly called her son "Spanky". According to the DVD audio commentary it is thought that her current mean streak can be attributed to an incident involving [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] that took place in that episode in which, while sitting in a urinal stall, Bart caused the toilets to explode.
+
== Family ==
 +
=== Husband ===
 +
Her first husband [[Sheldon Skinner]] served in [[World War Two]] as a member of the [[Flying Hellfish]]. Agnes has also claimed that she was married to three tow truckers.
  
−
In the episode "[[The Principal and the Pauper]]", it was revealed that Skinner is actually '''Armin Tamzarian''', a troubled orphan that Agnes mistook for her son when he showed up at her door to tell her that Seymour, with whom he served in the Army in Vietnam, was dead (he believed himself the cause). However, when the real Seymour (voiced by [[Martin Sheen]]), returns to Springfield, she not only rejects him, but violently opposes his usurping Armin's place in her life.  
+
== Love life ==
 +
Agnes has been seen with Superintendent Chalmers on a few occasions,<ref>"[[Bart the Fink]]"</ref><ref>"[[Wild Barts Can't Be Broken]]"</ref> she also briefly dated the [[Comic Book Guy]], before he was arrested for having a secret room full of illegal videos. He asked her if she would wait for him till he got out of jail but she refuses, saying that her bones are half dust.<ref>"[[Worst Episode Ever]]"</ref> She once had sex with [[Otto Mann]] at the Simpsons' mardi gra party.<ref>"[[No Loan Again, Naturally]]"</ref> During the depression she let [[Mr. Burns]] "feel her up" (presumably for remuneration).<ref>"[[The Last of the Red Hat Mamas]]"</ref> She hinted that she got "intimate" with [[Groundskeeper Willie]] when he was turned into a proper gentleman.<ref>"[[My Fair Laddy]]"</ref> She once hit on [[Sideshow Mel]],<ref name="Midnight Towboy"/> dated [[Grampa]],<ref>"[[Gump Roast]]"</ref> hooked up with Willie a second time during "Grownup Halloween",<ref>"[[Halloween of Horror]]"</ref> and once got together with [[Barney Gumble]]<ref>"[[Lost Verizon]]"</ref> before beginning a serious relationship with the [[Comic Book Guy]]. (Chief Wiggum was notably repulsed when he and his officers stumbled upon the couple "in the act".)
  
−
With a cutting "You don't need me!", she and the other Springfielders (whom he has also rubbed the wrong way) run him out of town on a rail, and Agnes orders Armin to move back into her house.

In "[[The Principal and the Pauper]]", Agnes' biological son, the ''real'' {{ap|Seymour Skinner|The Principal and the Pauper}} (voiced by [[Martin Sheen]]), returns to [[Springfield]] from war. Agnes, unhappy with her new living situation with her biological son, travels to Capital City to take back [[Seymour Skinner|Armin Tamzarian]].

Agnes Skinner is the strict and bitter mother of Seymour Skinner. She is very harshly controlling of Seymour, and treats him like a mother would treat a small child, once grounding him because he did not say who was at the door after answering it. She hates Seymour's choice in women, especially Edna Krabappel. Agnes has married a total of four times, once with Skinner's father, Sheldon Skinner, and following Sheldon's death she married three more times, each time to a tow truck driver.[3]

Biography[edit]

Past[edit]

A younger Agnes Skinner doing the pole vault

In the 1920s, Agnes used to be a wing walker on early planes and performed. Her videos were shown in museums.[4] During the 50s, Agnes was an Pole Vaulter and competed during the 1952 Summer Olympics. However, when she was going over the bar, Seymour kicked in her stomach, knocking the bar off.[5]

In the 1980s, Agnes dated Charles Montgomery Burns. However, she suspected him of cheating on her and went to Simpson and O'Donnell Detective Agency to enlist their help to identify who he was cheating on her with. While there, Agnes flirted with Abraham Simpson, but ended up going with Billy O'Donnell to follow Burns. After O'Donnell went missing, Agnes became hard to find until Abe found her at the marina. They then went on a long date together until Agnes told Abe what had happened to Billy.[6]

Personality[edit]

When she first appeared as a kindly old woman who embarrassingly called her son "Spanky". According to the DVD audio commentary it is said that her current mean streak can be attributed to the incident involving Bart that took place in that episode in which, while sitting in a urinal stall, Bart caused the toilets to explode. Currently, she is harshly controlling of Seymour, who spends more time with her than with his old girlfriend, Edna Krabappel.

Relationship with Seymour[edit]

Agnes shares an unhealthy relationship with her son, which often borders on psychosis. Examples include Agnes covering up "her half of the television" with cardboard to spite Seymour. When Seymour was out of the house, Agnes phoned him regularly demanding to be taken out of the bath, shielded from the glare of car lights on the street, and other such petty requests. She hid his car keys as a punishment for his talking to a woman on the phone. Seymour himself is very obedient and almost distressingly physically and emotionally close to her (for example, when Edna agreed to marry Seymour, Agnes murmured under her breath "three in the bed!"). Her catchphrase is "Sey-mour!", often used to snap her son's attention (as opposed to Superintendent Chalmers's catchphrase, "Skin-NER!"). She also uses him to do her bidding.[7]

Some of her resentment to Seymour apparently traces back before Seymour was born. During the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, she competed in the pole vaulting event while 9 months pregnant.[5] When Seymour made his first kick, he hit the bar, causing her to lose and crushing her dreams.

Family[edit]

Husband[edit]

Her first husband Sheldon Skinner served in World War Two as a member of the Flying Hellfish. Agnes has also claimed that she was married to three tow truckers.

Love life[edit]

Agnes has been seen with Superintendent Chalmers on a few occasions,[8][9] she also briefly dated the Comic Book Guy, before he was arrested for having a secret room full of illegal videos. He asked her if she would wait for him till he got out of jail but she refuses, saying that her bones are half dust.[10] She once had sex with Otto Mann at the Simpsons' mardi gra party.[11] During the depression she let Mr. Burns "feel her up" (presumably for remuneration).[12] She hinted that she got "intimate" with Groundskeeper Willie when he was turned into a proper gentleman.[13] She once hit on Sideshow Mel,[3] dated Grampa,[14] hooked up with Willie a second time during "Grownup Halloween",[15] and once got together with Barney Gumble[16] before beginning a serious relationship with the Comic Book Guy. (Chief Wiggum was notably repulsed when he and his officers stumbled upon the couple "in the act".)

"Real Son"[edit]

In "The Principal and the Pauper", Agnes' biological son, the real Seymour Skinner (voiced by Martin Sheen), returns to Springfield from war. Agnes, unhappy with her new living situation with her biological son, travels to Capital City to take back Armin Tamzarian. She and other Springfieldians, who have grown to like Tamzarian, force the real Seymour Skinner out of Springfield, tying him to a freight train cart headed out of the town.

Treehouse of Horror XI[edit]

The death of Agnes Skinner in "Treehouse of Horror XI"

Although with no continuity, Agnes is dropped to her death from many stories up in "Treehouse of Horror XI" when Homer is attempting a good deed.

Future[edit]

Around 30 years in the future, Seymour keeps her living head in a jar in his and Edna's home, similar to the heads in a jar shown in Futurama.[17] At another point, Skinner is seen having dinner with her skeleton.[18]
