Especially to someone like Lisa who it's an actual legitimate criticism. She's been sticking her nose into anything and everything she considers to be a problem for decades, leading to pretty much everyone in Springfield having an issue with her meddling at one point or another.

Yeah to be honest the show has gone of gone from Lisa trying to help people to just butting in for no reason when then the problem could've been easily fixed.

This is an excellent clip to watch if you're ever feeling angry or frustrated. Ned's breakdown is a perfect example of toxic positivity - or sitting on one's emotions for too long. Anger's a warning bell for the mind - a sign that something is wrong. It's to be faced, talked out and understood. Once you accept it, you're in the driver's seat. The longer you sit on it, the more it intoxicates your system.
Idk if toxic positivity is a thing. If everyone around you is an imbecile , it makes sense to get mad and fed up when they never seem to have the intellect to be self aware of their flaws .
All of Ned's insults are so articulated that it's unmistakable that he's developed a personal opinion on everyone. Really adds a lot to his character and shows how much genuine restraint, patience, and forgiveness he exercises on a daily basis.
Silent judgement is not the same as practicing forgiveness. Thats the whole problem- Ned never learned how to forgive, he learned how to repress. So when the time comes and he finally loses it, he attacks everyone without direction because he's secretly got a problem WITH everyone, even the people he, as an adult, should be able to laugh off and live with.
Homer saying “Boy, I got off easy” is actually a perfect summation of his character. He’s too ignorant to realize that Ned gave him the worst insult out of everyone, but at the same time knows that he was completely in the wrong in that situation and makes no effort to defend himself. Homer is at his best when he’s ignorant, not stupid.
No, Ned didn't give Homer the worst insult. Ned personally mocked Marge, Bart, Lisa, Wiggum, and Krusty about things specific to them. His insults to Lenny and Moe were unjustified. Then his remark to Homer "You are the worst human being I have ever met" was just a bland statement anyone could come up with, he didn't say anything personal
It was definitely the worst as that statement, like everyone else’s, was specific to him. He’s legitimately the worst person in the town, who numerous people look down on, and the nicest person in the series just told him he’s the worst person he’s ever met. Meaning even to people like Ned, who sees the good in everyone, doesn’t see any good in a person like Homer.
Actually it was intended to be the worst, there’s a lot of subtle ques that clearly intend that it’s supposed to be the worst. Notice how his tone is much lower than when he was talking to everyone else. And how homer is specially saved for last and the scene where everyone is watching as he walks to him, it’s made to create build up

Pretty much is. The episode explains afterwards that Ned was conditioned to behave much more calmly that whenever he gets stressed or too excited he just says diddly to hold it all in. All that because his parents were too loose and carefree to believe in proper discipline and actually raise him. Sucks. 😞

@@RWDtech To be fair, he had pent up so much of his anger from turning the other cheek that it messed with his mental health. He had to vent it all out, and following that explosion, he needed to get himself some help.
What impresses me is how LONG it took for Ned to completely lose it. Living in Springfield and dealing with those people must've felt like his own personal Hell.
Bart has his moments. He's a troublemaker who likes to take the piss out of just about everyone, but at his core he's not a "bad kid", he cares a lot about the people close to him and often throughout the series feels a lot of remorse when he does something that ends up really hurting someone, as that's rarely ever his intent. He often walks a line between his impulsive desire to get a laugh at the expense of others and his conscience-- I see a lot of my younger self in Bart and he's probably my favorite character within the family.
Also like how Lisa speaks up on behalf of her brother. Like as terrible as they appear sometimes they really do have each other’s back at the end of the day
@Lil Yuri if I could like this twice I would. I always kinda compare myself to Milhouse. Terrible with girls, always getting beat up, interested in stuff not a lot of other people like etc etc
@Lil Yuri if I could like this twice I would. I always kinda compare myself to Milhouse. Terrible with girls, always getting beat up, interested in stuff not a lot of other people like etc etc
I like that these are not randomly thought up insults, they are simple home-truths that Ned has always felt but kept to himself because he was too afraid of upsetting people.
Double standards suck. Ned Flanders never told anyone off before, regardless of how he's constantly treated, especially by Homer. But the one time he reaches his breaking point, which is miles ahead of EVERYONE on this show, suddenly he's the bad guy...
Ned's patience isn't just miles above everyone else, it's literally lightyears. That man put up with more crap than anyone and maintain a kind and forgiving mindset until this moment, which is fully understandable.
This is why I believe that anger issues are not real, but something merely created by power abusers who use and abuse others, and when the people that the power abusers use reach their breaking point and snap, the abusers know they're about to lose their sense of power over that person, so they [the abuser] tell them [the one being used] that they have "anger issues", as if being angry is a bad thing altogether, just to keep a hold of power over that person. I've only heard the term "anger issues" being used by people with some type of authority.
@@spongebobfan190 Yeah you're got a really shoddy perception of anger problems there buddy. Anger issues can stem from a lot of things, but generalizing every case as just another power abuser is really assumptious and scummy to overlook an actual mental health problem.
The fact that Lenny literally did nothing, Ned doesn’t even know him, but he got insulted anyways judging by the lines: “As for you, I don’t know you but I’m sure you’re a jerk!” “Hey I’ve only been here a couple minutes what’s going on?”
It’s great how effective Ned’s insults were without there being any swearing. Don’t take issue with swearing but sometimes restriction helps creativity.
@@wwfla8691 Normally I don't like Flanders, but in this case, yes, I did feel bad for him. This is a cautionary tale of why you don't want to be too nice. It doesn't mean you have to go completely the other way and just blow up at everyone over every little thing, but... Life would work a lot better if we only learned about setting boundaries. How to properly set them, recognize and respect them. We would actually live in a much happier and cohesive society, without most of the problems we have.
He should have strangled Homer with his bare hands, especially after Mauds death. This guy just took every blow this town of idiots dealt to him and I think he has every right to burn it to the ground.
@@toby099 Ned had every right to vent, nobody can deny that. But still, Bart stepping in to defend his mom when Ned was yelling at her and getting in her face is very sweet. Goes to show how much Bart loves his mom, even though he doesn't always show it.
I think the realest part is that immediately after snapping, his first impulse was to go to a mental hospital; Ned knew damn well snapping wasn't normal health or moral wise and he wanted to immediately seek help. Even when Ned's snapped and unleashes fury, he's still the same emotionally stable, mature, and introspective man. That's quality writing.
Actually, if I remember that episode correctly, Ned's response to immediately go to the asylum was a result of mental conditioning he had been given there years before - it revealed that, as a youth, Ned was actually a bigger nightmare than even Bart could imagine being. It would probably explain why he drove right through the gate without stopping, because his conditioned response didn't account for stopping for a gate or any possible traffic obstacles.
Ned Flanders must have been the most patient character in the series. This is totally understandable when you have so much bottled up emotions from all the dangerous incompetence you are surrounded with. It's only a matter of time before that bottle pops!
@@JeansWebbTv Well count back how many episodes lead to this. Now, take every episode that Ned had to deal with Homer's BS and pretend each of these episodes is one month. How many years of THIS shit has he been through? I don't believe I'd last this long.
@@senorsardonico6153 Yeah she's a know it all and a bit of a crybaby Edit: And after watching a few newer episodes she seems like she whines to get what she wants constantly, though being in a family that constantly ignores her, I can't really blame her...though she could go about making her presence known differently.
@@zt1053 Not how insurance works realistically. Homes get insured for the appraised "cost to replace" at the time of the purchase, which is usually less than it was bought it for. Even if the appraisal was accurate at first (which it usually isn't), living in a home for more than a few years would mean the *real* cost to replace your home and everything in it goes up with inflation. And, as others have pointed out, it also wouldn't undo certain losses, such as deaths, injuries, or destruction of family heirlooms. It wouldn't even really cover the extra expense of having to still carry your mortgage while paying for a temporary place to live. Insurance...kinda sucks to be honest. But it's better to have some coverage than none.
@mohamed zayan It illustrates that even though he exploded in front of all those people, he's a nice person and a safe driver enough to use his blinkers. It's the contrast that's funny.
Frink: _”Someone get my advanced particle collector, mhey. it’s all that’ll be left of him after this happens. Mhey! Heey!”_ Homer: Gets off lightly. Frink: _”It uh... Seems I forgot to uh... Carry the one... Mhey!”_
I love how you can hear a slight echo in Harry Shearer's yelling. It's reminiscent of when Mel Blanc would yell in Looney Tunes, you just feel the rawness of the performance
The "answering the question no one asked" is a line I use to this day. Absolute genius. Plus, Ned's completely composed and quiet delivery to Homer still gives me chills. I don't want to think about the visuals running through his head as he says it.
@@thatdude7793 I can’t say that I blame them. Family Guy is an overhyped, overdone mess. It was okay the first few seasons, but then it just got dumber and dumber. Now that I think about, that accounts for the majority of “adult comedy cartoons.”
Ned was right about Lenny. Everyone else in Springfield showed up to help build a new home for the Flanders. Lenny, being the jerk he is, showed up at the last minute.
It’s funny how Flanders expressing how he was truly feeling made him feel like he was crazy. His definition of sane is holding everything he’s really thinking and feeling in.
@@BigWheel. I mean is not like you have a choice. Morally you shouldn't say all your bad thoughts to everyone because it could and would hurt them and maybe they don't deserve it. And logicly this would bring you a shit toon of enemies and problems. Of course there are moments where you should express them, but most of the time no
@@BenDover-gc4xs Depends on the extent. Restraining your emotionality can help with your focus but doing it too much will only make your breakdown all the shittier. You gotta vent at some point otherwise you'll end up snapping when you don't want to.
"There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon and the anger of a gentle man." Well, Springfield's residents got a taste of the third one of those, all right.
Is no one gonna point out how that first argument between Marge & Ned perfectly encapsulates so much of modern society, even 25+ years later? So many people (especially in politics) think they shouldn't be criticized when their screw-ups make a situation worse because they "tried their best" and "meant well". But guess what? As Ned implies in his reply, other people still have to live with the outcome! Idealism vs. realism.
This was the episode that made Ned one of my favorites. It showed that he wasn't blind to anything that happens around him, he holds it all in and puts up a smile and tries to be the better person
The irony is that by being silent and holding it all in people never are forced to face their flaws. He was one of the few people who could fix things or try to change things but held it in to be respectful. Imagine if during events like the French Revolution they were "respectful" then nothing would change. Even in equal rights in America the same holds true. When you hold the problems in you let them grow, when you confront them you change things or realize you need to leave. In simpler terms, he was the most flawed of them all because at least they were true to themselves and strived to do things to improve even if it ran the risk of hurting others.
Even the most polite and patient person has their breaking point. Ned has put up with so much, he’s a faithful, God fearing man, and he always kept a smile on his face. Even someone like that can lose control.
@@motodog242 God fearing is such a stupid justification for religion anyway. It essentially implies that such people wouldn't act morally if they didn't fear God.
The moment before he goes insane is so underrated. It's like two entities fighting eachother, one was pushed back and now it came back. "They did their best" the nice Ned says, but "Shoddily-diddly-diddly" comes from the other part of Ned Then "Gotta be nice" and the "Hostility-iddily-diddly" which is the point where Ned loses it
“Springfields answer to a question nobody asked” is such a good insult
He's been keeping these zingers in his pocket this whole time.
Especially to someone like Lisa who it's an actual legitimate criticism. She's been sticking her nose into anything and everything she considers to be a problem for decades, leading to pretty much everyone in Springfield having an issue with her meddling at one point or another.

“I am shocked and appalled”
Absolutely best line I’ve ever heard of the simpsons
And even then, Ned is such a nice guy he went ahead and admitted himself to a mental hospital without anyone telling him to do so. What a guy.
Even turning on the direction light.
The main gate tho...
@@RWDtech To be fair, he had pent up so much of his anger from turning the other cheek that it messed with his mental health. He had to vent it all out, and following that explosion, he needed to get himself some help.

Holy fuck he murdered her dude

What impresses me is how LONG it took for Ned to completely lose it. Living in Springfield and dealing with those people must've felt like his own personal Hell.
I have to admit that seeing Bart jumping to his mums defence is pretty wholesome in a way
Bart has his moments. He's a troublemaker who likes to take the piss out of just about everyone, but at his core he's not a "bad kid", he cares a lot about the people close to him and often throughout the series feels a lot of remorse when he does something that ends up really hurting someone, as that's rarely ever his intent. He often walks a line between his impulsive desire to get a laugh at the expense of others and his conscience-- I see a lot of my younger self in Bart and he's probably my favorite character within the family.
Also like how Lisa speaks up on behalf of her brother. Like as terrible as they appear sometimes they really do have each other’s back at the end of the day
Why is she taking away the fence?
@Lil Yuri if I could like this twice I would. I always kinda compare myself to Milhouse. Terrible with girls, always getting beat up, interested in stuff not a lot of other people like etc etc

I like that these are not randomly thought up insults, they are simple home-truths that Ned has always felt but kept to himself because he was too afraid of upsetting people.
The way Homer scratches his head when the house falls down is just (chefs kiss) perfect.
That’s quality writing…I wonder where it went.

Double standards suck. Ned Flanders never told anyone off before, regardless of how he's constantly treated, especially by Homer. But the one time he reaches his breaking point, which is miles ahead of EVERYONE on this show, suddenly he's the bad guy...
I mean not really here when all his anger towards them is justified.
Ned's patience isn't just miles above everyone else, it's literally lightyears. That man put up with more crap than anyone and maintain a kind and forgiving mindset until this moment, which is fully understandable.
@@sirreepicheeprules7443 well said!
This is why I believe that anger issues are not real, but something merely created by power abusers who use and abuse others, and when the people that the power abusers use reach their breaking point and snap, the abusers know they're about to lose their sense of power over that person, so they [the abuser] tell them [the one being used] that they have "anger issues", as if being angry is a bad thing altogether, just to keep a hold of power over that person. I've only heard the term "anger issues" being used by people with some type of authority.
@@spongebobfan190 Yeah you're got a really shoddy perception of anger problems there buddy. Anger issues can stem from a lot of things, but generalizing every case as just another power abuser is really assumptious and scummy to overlook an actual mental health problem.

The fact that Lenny literally did nothing, Ned doesn’t even know him, but he got insulted anyways judging by the lines:
“As for you, I don’t know you but I’m sure you’re a jerk!”

I feel bad for Flanders.
@@wwfla8691 Normally I don't like Flanders, but in this case, yes, I did feel bad for him. This is a cautionary tale of why you don't want to be too nice. It doesn't mean you have to go completely the other way and just blow up at everyone over every little thing, but... Life would work a lot better if we only learned about setting boundaries.
How to properly set them, recognize and respect them. We would actually live in a much happier and cohesive society, without most of the problems we have.
He should have strangled Homer with his bare hands, especially after Mauds death. This guy just took every blow this town of idiots dealt to him and I think he has every right to burn it to the ground.

@@toby099 Ned had every right to vent, nobody can deny that. But still, Bart stepping in to defend his mom when Ned was yelling at her and getting in her face is very sweet. Goes to show how much Bart loves his mom, even though he doesn't always show it.
Bart loves his mother.
The man is basically a saint considering how Homer and everyone else in the town treats him.
Nice to see Bart actually sticking up for his mother for a change.
I think the realest part is that immediately after snapping, his first impulse was to go to a mental hospital; Ned knew damn well snapping wasn't normal health or moral wise and he wanted to immediately seek help.
Even when Ned's snapped and unleashes fury, he's still the same emotionally stable, mature, and introspective man. That's quality writing.
Actually, if I remember that episode correctly, Ned's response to immediately go to the asylum was a result of mental conditioning he had been given there years before - it revealed that, as a youth, Ned was actually a bigger nightmare than even Bart could imagine being. It would probably explain why he drove right through the gate without stopping, because his conditioned response didn't account for stopping for a gate or any possible traffic obstacles.
@@stone1andonlyWow, didn't know that.
Well considering the type of people that live in Springfield, snapping is kind of expected.

Ned Flanders must have been the most patient character in the series. This is totally understandable when you have so much bottled up emotions from all the dangerous incompetence you are surrounded with. It's only a matter of time before that bottle pops!
“When you have so much bottled up emotions from all the dangerous incompetence you are surrounded with” woah that’s visceral….Shakespearean like.

Someone should diss Lisa at least once a season. The character has become unbearable.
@@senorsardonico6153 Yeah she's a know it all and a bit of a crybaby
Edit: And after watching a few newer episodes she seems like she whines to get what she wants constantly, though being in a family that constantly ignores her, I can't really blame her...though she could go about making her presence known differently.
Like he had Darkness in him waiting to come out. Haha!!
Lisa is f annoying but apparently Bart is the bad guy
the fact theres none of his accent, really brings more gravity to this.
I think I can relate to Flanders in some way, the fact that he had to restrain his frustration for so long, but then it eventually snapped
Considering he and his family would've been killed if they'd still been in that house, I'd say his rage was totally justified.
Not really because if he had insurance he wouldn't have to rely on volunteers to build him a house.
Well you see they would have died because the hand of jesus would have shielded them from crushing pressure of disappointment
@@zt1053 yeah I feel you, he should've gotten insurance after the fact. That would stop wooden beams from caving in his kids heads.
@@doublexjamy2 ikr
@@zt1053 Not how insurance works realistically.
Homes get insured for the appraised "cost to replace" at the time of the purchase, which is usually less than it was bought it for. Even if the appraisal was accurate at first (which it usually isn't), living in a home for more than a few years would mean the *real* cost to replace your home and everything in it goes up with inflation.
And, as others have pointed out, it also wouldn't undo certain losses, such as deaths, injuries, or destruction of family heirlooms. It wouldn't even really cover the extra expense of having to still carry your mortgage while paying for a temporary place to live.
Insurance...kinda sucks to be honest. But it's better to have some coverage than none.
This is the moment where Ned Flanders becomes Heisenberg.
Hwhahahah he looks like Walter white 🤣

“I am shocked and appalled” - Bart Simpson
I love how you can hear a slight echo in Harry Shearer's yelling. It's reminiscent of when Mel Blanc would yell in Looney Tunes, you just feel the rawness of the performance
The "answering the question no one asked" is a line I use to this day. Absolute genius.
Plus, Ned's completely composed and quiet delivery to Homer still gives me chills. I don't want to think about the visuals running through his head as he says it.
Probably stomping on Homer's throat
"Did ya have to salt the earth?"
@@Spingerex that would be considered murder and would make Flanders look like an evil person.
I like how that showed that Ned isn't stupid.
Love that line too! Kinda fits the Kardashians, most politicians, the final 3 Star Wars movies, and pharmaceutical ads.
“Homer, you are the worst human being I’ve ever met.” Good thing he never met Peter Griffin in a crossover episode.
Almost did...
Fun fact the reason why Ned Flanders isn’t in that episode is because the actor and others hated family guys style of writing
Or Eric Cartman.
@@thatdude7793 so no one voiced by Harry Shearer was in the episode?
@@thatdude7793 I can’t say that I blame them. Family Guy is an overhyped, overdone mess. It was okay the first few seasons, but then it just got dumber and dumber. Now that I think about, that accounts for the majority of “adult comedy cartoons.”
I love how bart just accepts defeat 😂
This was one of the most satisfying moments in TV cartoon history. Every single thing Ned said was 100 percent true.
Ned was right about Lenny. Everyone else in Springfield showed up to help build a new home for the Flanders. Lenny, being the jerk he is, showed up at the last minute.
Lol he was helping someone else in their time of need, Lenny can't be in 2 places at once.
...Showed up at the last minute...wondering what was going on! 🤣
NOT LENNY!!!
Was probably saving some children from a burning building like a true war hero
Cmon let it slide
Everyone loves Lenny
It’s funny how Flanders expressing how he was truly feeling made him feel like he was crazy. His definition of sane is holding everything he’s really thinking and feeling in.
thats really sad that he thinks that way. holding everything can only go for so long
everyone snaps once in a while. holding bad thoughts is a good thing
@@BenDover-gc4xs idk, you shouldn't bottle up your feelings, and it's really not normal to snap once in a while because of it. That sounds unhealthy.
@@BigWheel. I mean is not like you have a choice. Morally you shouldn't say all your bad thoughts to everyone because it could and would hurt them and maybe they don't deserve it. And logicly this would bring you a shit toon of enemies and problems. Of course there are moments where you should express them, but most of the time no
@@BenDover-gc4xs Depends on the extent. Restraining your emotionality can help with your focus but doing it too much will only make your breakdown all the shittier. You gotta vent at some point otherwise you'll end up snapping when you don't want to.
"There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon and the anger of a gentle man." Well, Springfield's residents got a taste of the third one of those, all right.
Is no one gonna point out how that first argument between Marge & Ned perfectly encapsulates so much of modern society, even 25+ years later? So many people (especially in politics) think they shouldn't be criticized when their screw-ups make a situation worse because they "tried their best" and "meant well". But guess what? As Ned implies in his reply, other people still have to live with the outcome! Idealism vs. realism.
This was the episode that made Ned one of my favorites. It showed that he wasn't blind to anything that happens around him, he holds it all in and puts up a smile and tries to be the better person
what ep was it
@@annasutcliffe5119 it's Hurricaine Neddy, from season 8
You sound like my English teacher talking about a new book they have just read
The irony is that by being silent and holding it all in people never are forced to face their flaws.
He was one of the few people who could fix things or try to change things but held it in to be respectful. Imagine if during events like the French Revolution they were "respectful" then nothing would change. Even in equal rights in America the same holds true.
When you hold the problems in you let them grow, when you confront them you change things or realize you need to leave.
In simpler terms, he was the most flawed of them all because at least they were true to themselves and strived to do things to improve even if it ran the risk of hurting others.
@@Buglin_Burger7878 so it is really good to hurt others. I get it now
Even the most polite and patient person has their breaking point. Ned has put up with so much, he’s a faithful, God fearing man, and he always kept a smile on his face. Even someone like that can lose control.
He doesn’t fear God, he thinks they’re friends. That’s why he’s depicted as one of Satan’s minions when he dies.

But wrecking that entry gate right after is even funnier.

The moment before he goes insane is so underrated. It's like two entities fighting eachother, one was pushed back and now it came back.
"They did their best" the nice Ned says, but "Shoddily-diddly-diddly" comes from the other part of Ned
Then "Gotta be nice" and the "Hostility-iddily-diddly" which is the point where Ned loses it
The other Ned could be the original Ned resurfacing over the current Ned.
That part cracks me up every time. He knew being nice from there is pointless and must show his true feelings.
‘Shoddily’ sounds like ‘sure did’, like sarcasm. Even from that first moment he was holding his anger to the breaking point.
It's a self-duality. The attempt to forgive, and the unforgiving rage.
@@Norinia I'm pretty sure it comes from shoddy. When something is cheap and poorly made you can call it shoddy, like Ned's house in this episode
