Ned Flanders

What’s peoples opinions on Ned Flanders? Good neighbour? Pain the arse? Is he a wanker that thinks he’s better than everyone else or a nice bloke trying to be a good citizen? AIBU to think anyone who hates Ned and people like him are simply jealous?

I think he's supposed to be an overenthusiastic neighbour, like a 'try hard'. Don't think he's a bad guy lol

KittyInTheCradle · 19/04/2019 13:55

Maybe they're too perfect in a showy way which seems a bit smug?

Ah I love Ned! I think he's there to demonstrate Homer's selfishness and childishness as much as a satire of a good Christian and being a rather tragic and sweet character in his own right. Plus, he looks really hot without his jumper on.

Plus, he looks really hot without his jumper on.

😂😂😂 He does too.

I love Ned. He's patient and optimistic. Homer's a real dick to him.

He's the antithesis to Homer, he shows how crap a husband, father etc Homer is. But, he also shows that sometimes perfection is not all it's cracked up to be. I like the zombie episode (think it's a Halloween special).

I love Ned too. He’s so cute when he’s going his lawn with his little moustache and innocent expression. Homer is a nob

Ok I’ve just googled “Ned Flanders Six Pack” as I’d forgotten what it looked like. If DH reads my internet history now he’s going to think I’ve finally lost it 😂

It’s like he’s wearing nothing at all..nothing at all..nothing at all..

I like him. He tries to be a good dad and a good man and through adult eyes I just think homer is a complete dick.

Deadringer · 19/04/2019 16:08

How the hell is he so bing bang bingally buff?

HairycakeLinehan · 19/04/2019 16:08

Aw I think he’s lovely!

I love this thread. So much. SO much.

managedmis · 19/04/2019 16:12

Love him

SilverySurfer · 19/04/2019 16:16

Who is he?

Vitalogy · 19/04/2019 16:17

Didn't Ned let all his anger out in one episode. He really lost it or am I imagining that.

CalmDownPacino · 19/04/2019 16:19

I like Ned. He tries very hard to be a good man and he's very patient. Homer is a terrible person and as for Marge, well!

Disfordarkchocolate · 19/04/2019 16:22

I hate all these cartoons with crap dads and forgiving wife's. Ned is very hot from the neck down though, not keen on the 'tach.

Regarding the ‘tach, I’ve just seen a clip where he gets into a hot tub and puts on a shower cap - and then a little mini cap for his moustache - now that made me laugh 😂

VeniVidiViciTwice · 19/04/2019 17:15

Best thread for a while! Ned is ace, and my teen is totally judging me that I googled Ned Flanders no jumper! 🤣🤣

DirtyJohn · 19/04/2019 19:36

Hot as hell
