Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Oh no! Picture day is coming and, unfortunately for you, you're in a sitcom. You'll probably have to duck through a Food Fight to stay clean, or go to drastic measures to fix the unholy mess your hair has become, or find a way to change out of the lame outfit your mom made you wear. Either that or you are simply faced with the pimple OF DOOM. You might even get a Last-Second Photo Failure during the shooting.
Either way, you are screwed.
Many shows about kids or set in school will eventually have an episode based around the typical school picture day, usually involving a character's best efforts to not have an embarrassing photo of themself taken for publication, because not only will the photographer never take more than one photo, but the Yearbook editor is always your nemesis who will make sure that their picture will be as humiliatingly noticeable in the book as possible.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })May result in a character being Forced into Their Sunday Best.

Full House:
The episode "Mr. Egghead" sees Stephanie end up with a broken nose shortly before Picture Day (due to a botched prop during Joey's tryout for a local kids show).
D.J.'s problem in "You Pet It, You Bought It" comes with her being allergic to a Donkey Michelle brings home that stays in the night a day before her own Picture Day. Come the next morning, she has a stuffy nose and blood-shot eyes due to said allergic reaction.

Jacob Two-Two: In "The Unlickable Cowlick", it's picture day at Jacob's school. Unfortunately for Jacob, he is suffering from a massive bad hair day due to getting hit by the infamous Cowlick, that apparently runs in his family and is known to resist any attempt to style it. This puts him at risk of being cut from the school photo for not looking proper enough; something that is considered a great shame among the students. Eventually, Renée is able to get rid of the cowlick just in time for picture day.

In Calvin and Hobbes, Calvin has Hobbes use Crisco in his hair to give him big hair spikes "like... like... Astro Boy."
Calvin originally used the Crisco to slick his hair into a curlicue. His mother freaked out and combed it down so it looked neat. While waiting for the bus, Calvin lamented to Hobbes how it looked, so Hobbes put the spikes in his hair.

The Oh Yeah!

Unfortunately, he finds out after the photo is taken that he had broccoli in his teeth from today's school lunch.

As Told by Ginger has Ginger and her friends wanting to look more mature for their school photos, but their parents won't let them wear makeup. They try to get around this by blending berries and spices together to create "fakeup" and apply it in the school bathrooms just before picture time. The results are... not pretty.

Leave It to Beaver: An episode, aptly titled "The School Picture", was based around Picture Day, and 10-year-old Beaver and his buddy, Gilbert, conspiring to make funny faces as the photographer snaps the photo. When it comes time to actually take the picture, Gilbert has second thoughts and wisely decides not to pull the immature trick. Beaver follows through, and the resulting proof is one that makes Mrs. Rayburn — and Ward, when he sees it — very angry. Ward sternly tells Beaver that such a picture reflects badly on the whole school, not just him, and shows disrespect. Fortunately, the photography studio comes to the rescue, as the photographer has stock clip art on hand, placing a hair ribbon on the head of a little girl that was standing in front of Beaver. (Remember, this episode was produced in an era more than 30 years before digital photography became commonplace, and camera film was a rather expensive commodity in the early 1960s, precluding the photographer from taking another photo).

Lizzie McGuire also had an episode based around Picture Day. Lizzie wanted to find a way out of being forced to wear the hideous green unicorn sweater her grandmother gave her for Christmas, and Kate had a classmate throw paint at Miranda because she didn't want her to be photographed wearing the same trendy outfit she was. Lizzie Took The Bullet, metaphorically speaking, and ended up posing in the paint-splattered blouse she had borrowed while holding up the sweater. Her parents reluctantly admitted that she did have the sweater in the photo, and at least they'll be able to save money on buying prints this year.

The Life and Times of Juniper Lee episode literally called "Picture Day" features the usual problems of the trope (zit on the forehead, etc.) with evil clones of June and her friends and her younger brother dressed as Abe Lincoln for his photo. neither of which was unusual for the Urban Fantasy it takes place in. Ray-Ray apparently has a history of acting up on picture day, like most days.

The Brady Bunch: The classic sitcom had a couple, although not necessarily focused on school picture day per se:
"The Not-So-Rosed-Colored Glasses" was centered on a family portrait of the kids (as an anniversary gift for their parents Mike and Carol), an absent-minded photographer, a near-sighted Jan crashing into and ruining the photograph with her bicycle, the absent-minded photographer losing the negative and forcing a retake of the photo, Jan wearing her glasses for the new picture (she had not gotten the glasses when the original was snapped) and Mike immediately noticing the difference.
"Law and Disorder", where Bobby wears his good suit for a school yearbook photo of Clinton Avenue Elementary School's safety monitors. (The photo-taking session is not an integral part of the script. Bobby's decision to trespass into a condemned house to retrieve a classmate's kitty while wearing the suit, getting the suit dirty and then trying to wash the suit himself to conceal his actions were.)

SpongeBob SquarePants: In fact, SpongeBob is perpetually failing boating school simply so they can use it for School Tropes.
The episode with the same name as this trope involves SpongeBob trying to stay clean, unsuccessfully of course, for his Boating School class photo.

In El Goonish Shive, Sarah was stuck as a catgirl during picture week. This was never seen, merely referred to as the Noodle Incident, and only much later explained.

My Life as a Teenage Robot: In "Hostile Makeover", Jenny breaks out in pimple-like bolts on school picture day, as a side effect of what turns out to be a Cluster device trying to take over her body.

Ed, Edd n Eddy, "Smile for the Ed": Eddy tries to get a good school picture, so his mom will let him move into his big brother's old bedroom. Unfortunately, an ill-timed (or rather "perfectly timed since it was done on purpose") cry of "Dork!" from Kevin puts a crimp in his plans. Furthermore, by the next day, the school is literally flooded by copies of Eddy's photo.

Teen Wolf: In season 4, Mason explains that Hayden hates Liam because he accidentally decked Liam on Picture Day while she was trying to break up a fight. He shows a picture of Hayden with two black eyes, then brings up another one showing Liam, who received some bruises of his own after Hayden retaliated.

South Park has Butters getting grounded for putting a stupid face. Initially, you think it's because his Idiot Hair sprung up at the wrong moment. Then you find out that's because his dad thinks Butters' face is stupid by default.
It's also the first (?) time we see Kyle's Jewfro.
And of course Kenny takes his picture with his butt (instead of his face) peeking out of his parka, starting off a story line about finding Ben Affleck.

Homestar Runner has a particularly odd example: in the 14th "Teen Girl Squad", we learn the yearbook picture was scheduled for the same day as "Tape-a-dead-thing-to-your-face day".
But oddly enough (and it even says this in the wiki), the other pictures don't have a dead thing taped to their faces.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: all regular characters are shown striking characteristic poses for the photographer... except for the heroine herself, who is busy Slaying and ends up left out of the yearbook altogether.
Cordelia was supposed to tell her it was picture day but didn't, which lead to Buffy competing against her for the Homecoming Queen crown.

The Hank Zipzer episode "Camera Calamity". Every year Hank's school photo matches his school report perfectly - they're both terrible. But this year Hank's making sure his photo is picture perfect - until McKelty ruins it with a fountain of fizzy drink. Can Hank get clean and tidy and back in front of the camera before the photographer leaves?

Captain Underpants had this in the "Wedgie Woman" book, where George and Harold get ahold of next week's school memo and retypes the entire week into something hilarious. One of which was the school picture day, where everyone was told to wear bee costumes and the silliest face pulled would win their class a pizza party. One of the photos has a student standing upside-down.

Dexter's Laboratory had a humorous variant where Dexter gave himself a waxen "handsome" face to look good. He grew so vain with the lighting in his picture that the face melted off under the heat of the lamps.

In Gravity Falls, a flashback in "Weirdmaggedon: Part 2" shows a seven year old Mabel getting a piece of gum in her hair on picture day thanks to a mean girl, causing her to dissolve into tears. Dipper cheers her up by finding a razor and convincing her to just shave a chunk of it right off - using his own hair to demonstrate. In the end, Mabel is comforted by the fact that they get to have a horrible school picture together.
