Ned Flanders (seasons 11b-31)

Ned Flanders is a recurring character from the long-running American animated sitcom The Simpsons.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He originally just enjoyed going to church, but then he went to being obsessively religious.
 * 2) Not only Ned is obsessively religious and takes his religion way too seriously, he lashes out against anybody who doesn't support Christianity.
 * 3) Ned Flanders mainly bothers his neighbor, Homer Simpson and his son Bart constantly.
 * 4) He has an unlikable character trope named after him.
 * 5) He once tried to baptize Bart and Lisa without their parents' permission.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He was more tolerable in the earlier seasons of The Simpsons.
 * 2) In more recent episodes he seems to have gained more tolerance to other religions and homosexuality, as long as the people in question are good-natured.

Trivia

 * He is the trope namer of Flanderization.
