[Home]The Simpsons/Ned Flanders

HomePage | The Simpsons | Recent Changes | Preferences

Ned Flanders (voiced by [Harry Shearer]?) is the husband of the now-deceased Maude Flanders, father of Rod and [Todd Flanders]?. Ned is an extremely devout Christian, who is often used to satirize organized religion. The Flanders family lives next door to the Simpsons. They are often held up as a caricature of the "perfect family", in contrast to the Simpsons. Homer's envy of Ned and his family is a recurring subtext.

Ned has the habit of attaching "diddely" and other nonsense phrases to sentences (Maude-diddely). He owns a store in the mall called The Leftorium, which specializes in products for left-handed people.

Ned presumably named his sons Rod and Todd because both names rhyme with God.
