She threw them for a loop.

she’s infinitely entertaining…

I’ve met quite a few exotic dancers over the past few, um, decades. I bet some of them would get the joke, and I would respect them for it.

Oh look, it’s the invisible woman.

Is she topless or bottomless?

OMG! The way she’s wrapped around that pole…

There isn’t an end, just one side and one edge.

Why did the ant cross the mobius strip?

To get to the same side!

In the Mahabharata, enemies intend to publicly humiliate Draupadi by unwinding her sari until she is indecently exposed, but — by divine intervention — no matter how much of the sari is removed, they never come to the end of it. Would a Möbius striptease be similarly unsuccessful?

Flippity floppity. Floppity flip.

The mouse ran around the mobius strip.

The strip revolved, the mouse dissolved

In a chromodimensional skip.

Should’ve served the drinks in Klein bottles…

A burleycue dancer, a pip

Named Virginia, could peel in a zip;

But she read science fiction

And died of constriction

Attempting a Möbius strip.

There’s no end to the comments you can make here.

Sorry, I don’t care what it means.

They should be getting their booze in klein bottles.

And the show’s MC is a guy named Escher.

I don’t google things I don’t understand, I look at the comments.
