My 1€ coin hates him but the 2€ thinks he's funny.

What do Euros think of Ned Flanders from the Simpsons?

Fundamentalist, but at least usually nice, if annoyingly so.

Orthodox/Slav Europe

Are you aware that there are non-orthofox Slavs and most atheistic nation in Europe (and world) is Slavic?

The answer changes with the seasons of the show. In the beginning Flanders was just a nice guy neighbor and a foil to Homer. Then the being religious part became more and more important for his character and some point he wasn't a nice guy anymore but a crazy fundamentalist. But I pretty much already stopped watching at this point.

I liked Flanders in the first, let's say 10 seasons (even though he already started his path to fundamentalism at the end of this 10 season run) but I think he is annyoing later on. However I can actually say that about a lot of characters in the Simpsons. Not because I'm an irreligious European, but because I'm a viewer who adores the prime Simpsons, for their incredible writing and sharp witty humor. I think the first 9 seasons of the Simpsons may have some of the best jokes ever written.

Everything that came after that is in stark contrast really mediocre. Not only the jokes got worse, the characters became parodies of themselves. Homer went from lazy, idiotic, yet loving father and husband to self-absored moronic jerk. Lisa went from wise beyond her age, open and tolerant, to preachy pre-teen who follows every trent in order to become popular. I could go on for every other character. But I really don't want to waste any thought on Zombie-Simpsons that haunt the tv channels today. As far as I'm concerned the show only has 10 seasons.

He's okely-dokely.

hilarious character. also a lot of Slav countries aren't Orthodox and people in countries that are Orthodox can still appreciate the character anyways.

He is us, if Simpsons characters were European countries.

I thing it depends on season Flanderization is named after him.

Never liked him. I always found him annoying.

If we're talking golden age Simpsons -- a pleasant fellow I'd like to have as neighbour (being agnostic myself). Maybe he was turned into more of a fundamentalist caricature in later seasons idk, but later seasons don't exist anyway.

From what I remember of watching the Simpsons he seems to be a good guy who's a loving father and husband, and who will help people even if it hurts him.

In the most active forum in Spain (Forocoches), they call 'Flanders' to those who mass report comments because they don't agree with them.

If we talk about the character himself, I don't like him. So annoying.

Back when The Simpsons was popular Flanders was a nice guy. Now it's notorious he has gone down the gutter like the series itself.

If you’re wondering why random question, I had just watched Pewds most recent video and was reminded of how international the Simpsons are

The evangelical type, but a nice man and a nice neighbour - though occasionally annoying.

It's been a while since I've watched the Simpsons, but I remember him as a friendly and innocent character for the most part. Most people around me were religious, so, while overly exaggerated, that wasn't too weird of an aspect of his character for me.

He's funny.

Funny character

Iberia. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Okilly-dokilly!
