It's a miter and it looks funny so you'll be distracted from what the wearer is saying.

It's called a mitre. And it looks funny because it is unusual. But conical hats go way back. They are supposed to generate mystic powers of illumination. This is why you see pointy hats on witches, wizards, popes, and bishops.
Even the pointy dunce caps that teachers would put on failing students were initially meant to stimulate intellectual activity rather than humiliate.

That's a miter. The Pope lost a bet with the patriarch of Constantinople about 1200 years ago.

It's called a mitre. I don't know why it's designed in that fashion.
