"I'm a big, four-eyed lame-o and I wear the same stupid sweater every day!"
-- "Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily (3F01)"


Ned Flanders is the Simpsons' sometimes-sickeningly cheerful next-door nieghbor. His wife, Maude Flanders, and his two sons, Rod and Todd Flanders, are the perfect "Good Christian" family, but Ned is hated by Homer Simpson out of jealousy, and by Reverend Lovejoy, because of Ned's non-stop requests for guidance. He is known to distort every-day words by adding "diddily" to the end or middle of the word, and although his age was revealed in AABF06 to be 60, it is generally accepted that he's in his mid-30s or 40s. Ned made his first appearance in 7G08 and his voice is provided by Harry Shearer.
