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?

He's a nice enough bloke but I could never cope with following every rule in the Bible, even the ones that contradict other ones. And his kids are so wet. I'm sure that's Maud's fault as much as Ned's but running in terror at the mention of a ladybird? Good lord.

Todd at least is capable of leaving the house to enter a minigolf tournament. I've never seen Rod do anything similar.

They do have a nice rumpus room though.

"Flanders to God, Flanders to God. Get off your cloud and save my Todd!" Grin

I can’t believe so many people are saying Homer is a dick!?
Wtf!?

ArabellaDoreenFig · 19/04/2019 20:29

Ooh Marge and Ned doing A Streetcar Named Desire is one of my favourite episodes.

Give me a white wine spritzer...spritzer...spritzer

Homer doesn't need Flanders to show him for the incompetent,selfish child man he is.

Tbh I couldn't stand a Ned in my house. I'd punch him from all the attempts to save my soul with holy water.Grin

Oh how I miss The Simpsons! Life with 3 DC was ..busy.. but come 6pm..just after tea finished, hearing the music..kids running ( like on the opening sequence!) to the sofa.. silence..me and DH tidying the kitchen together and catching up on our day..Then realizing that it had finished because the fighting had started up again!..Oh those were the days!

Sparklesocks · 19/04/2019 20:55

One of my fave silly things in the Simpsons is how mean homer is to ned for no reason, like when Ned offers homer’s family to use his holiday home for free, Homer says he’ll go as a favour to Ned but only if he cleans his septic tank on top of the free holiday Grin

huh? Am I just missing your irony here? Every episode I’ve seen is about what a dick Homer is. Isn’t it?

Ohyesiam · 19/04/2019 20:58

Bold fail Blush

Ok I’ve just googled “Ned Flanders Six Pack” as I’d forgotten what it looked like.

I've just googled "Ned Flanders Six Pack" and the above post was the seventh highest-ranked result!

Greeborising · 19/04/2019 21:27

Ohyesiam 😉

CalmDownPacino · 19/04/2019 21:38

Homer is awful! He's a lazy, selfish, alcoholic child abuser! Yes I know it's only a cartoon but still Grin

lboogy · 19/04/2019 21:41

Ned has a big dick. He's alright in my books

GinUnicorn · 19/04/2019 21:44

Glad to know I’m not the only one with an inappropriate Ned crush.

♪♪ Hens love roosters Greece love ganders everyone else loves Ned Flanders!♪ ♪

ShitAtScarbble · 19/04/2019 21:52

There should be new Talk Guidelines issued AT ONCE to reflect that there must be a thread like this every single day without fail!

I love Ned Flanders - I really think he's the best written character in the show.

BabloHoney · 19/04/2019 21:55

Flanders is great but I’m sure he can’t tell which son is Rod and which is Todd depending which series of the Simpsons it is, haha.

WelcomeToGreenvale · 19/04/2019 22:20

Homer used to have a good heart and want the best for his family. Unfortunately for the last decade or so the people in charge of the show have forgotten all the good bits about the characters, so Homer is an abusive imbecile, Marge is a nag, Lisa is a whining bleeding heart, Bart is a stupid thug etc.

The characters used to have a lot of depth. Homer was a good man at heart. Loved his wife and kids and supported them even when he didn't understand, like when Lisa became a vegetarian.

Flanders was always a superior better-than-thou asshole.

AgentCooper · 19/04/2019 22:29

I love stupid sexy Flanders.

Cran bran for the Flan Man! My DSis found a list of things I was planning to get her for her birthday a few years ago and on it was ‘Lego Flanders.’ Grin

Ohyesiam · 19/04/2019 22:35

Homer is a fuck op, but I couldn’t be on the room with Ned for long without feeling stabby. I’m a natural optimist, but there’s something so smug about that eternal cheerfulness.
Never seen his torso. Too proud to google it.

GabsAlot · 19/04/2019 22:36

great body always felt for him when he lost maude

homers fault

BelulahBlanca · 19/04/2019 22:39

I’m trying to think of a scene when someone is dead or hurt and Homer has his fingers crossed saying “please be Flanders”
