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

I have a proper soft spot for Ned! He's a sweetheart! And that six-pack he hides....!!

TigersRoll · 19/04/2019 16:03

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 😂

TigersRoll · 19/04/2019 16:06

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!
My neighbors are more like Barney, Patty and Selma Grin

ICantEvenThinkStraight · 19/04/2019 16:12

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.

TigersRoll · 19/04/2019 16:29

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
