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.

I think Homer did get off easily because everyone else's were personal attacks, but "You are the worst human being I've ever met" is vague and generic. While mean, it's not really specific

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.

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.
@@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.
I think because he had always been somewhat aware that he's always been an underachiever, may end up being a lowlife, he just never expected to hear it from Ned.
Bart really stepped up and protected his mom. Lisa stepped up and protected her brother. Homer gets me so mad because he didn't do anything to protect his family.
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.
I mean... Homer's right, he did get off easy. Ned was making personal attacks and those cut deep. Homer's insult was generic, it doesn't attack his self esteem at all.
Then obviously you and I have very different viewpoints, cause if someone said something like that to me, it would have deeply wounded me, and I probably would have slipped into a very deep depression.
but it was personal. for every person was specified based off of a profile he made in his head because he showed so much restraint. but homer broke the camels back regularly and the fact he's only now saying hes the worst person hes ever met. that actually says a lot since he saved the worst for last.
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
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.
We're renovating at the moment. The electricity equipment was delivered incorrectly. Lots of missing things, lots of things we didn't order. The general construction items arrived. Lots of things wrong too. My reaction: 0:15
The funniest part is that Homer technically got the worst insult out of everyone. Because Ned said *”you are the worst human being I have ever met”* meaning all the bad stuff he said to everyone else… Homer is worse.
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.

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.
@@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.
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 telling Bart to learn that phrase for his adulthood is kind of funny considering in a later season there's an episode that shows adult Bart consistently going to Ned's house asking for money.
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!”_
Ned is just like everyone else but difference was Ned was suppressing and trying to be nice all these years and finally exploded. Maybe him saying diddaly was a tic that triggered when he was stressed.
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. 😞
Nice guys are always the scariest when they snap because they’re holding back way more than the a$$holes who lash out all the time. Think about it, people who get angry all the time are constantly blowing off steam, while nice people are like a nuclear reactor that overheats until one day they just reach their limit and explode.
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.
How Ned is able to roast every single person with no stutter nor mistake in words is horrifying, not only that but his roasts are so good no one can make a single come back, not even bart. He also doesn't swear, showing how he's been thinking these insults the whole time. But let's be honest they all do deserve it, especially homer.
@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.
This scene truly expresses what being the calm, collected, and positive person all the time did to Ned because through all the bullshit he has had to deal with he always smiled and let people off when they wronged him.
@@mlwarrior Yes a rational person can get to this point lol everybody has a limit and it manifests in different ways. He didn’t do anything “irrational” though. He just got angry and told everybody off. It’s not like he became violent and started attacking people.
This is a perfect example of the nicest people being the scariest when they are pushed. And Ned Flanders was pushed to breaking point. His glasses breaking shattered his last ounce of patience in that second.
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
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.
0:42 Like it or not, Ned's right about that. Having good intentions doesn't always guarantee anything nor does it justify any of your terrible decisions They had good intentions on rebuilding the house but it fell over again, it was basically an empty promise
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.
@@Emanuele_Polisena he’s pretty dull and unknowingly an asshole, he does mean well almost all of the time but most of the time he also does more harm than good.
@@Emanuele_Polisena He's definitely not the worst, but when Ned Flanders says it, it makes sense. Homer pushed him to the limits for years, by abusing his kindness and mocking him everytime they meet. Homer also stole a lot of things from Flanders, clearly annoying him.
Even at his absolute worst, the fiber of Ned’s being only allowed him to do so much actual damage. Everything he said, whether justified, uncalled for, or just plain mean, was based within a strong understanding of the person he was speaking to. Ned is incredibly tuned into the needs and problems of others, and it’s no surprise that someone so observant would have so much to say, both good and bad. And he’s not even dishing things out in an unbalanced way. Immediately after ripping into everyone, he checks into a mental hospital, openly acknowledging that his behavior, while based in truth, isn’t acceptable, completely avoiding the need for any confrontation or debate. That’s something I really appreciate about the Simpsons during its best years. There was such an appreciation for the characters and consistency that they were able to tell the stories they wanted to tell while also working entirely within the confides of how a character would realistically react

I always loved how Bart, even being somewhat of a nightmare most of the time immediately stuck up for his mother when Ned yells at her. Always found that sweet
Bart loves his family. He always has. So he will do everything to help or defend them from whatever. He may not be that smart in school but he is smart where it matters. Look at how many times he gets sideshow bob caught.
Another piece of evidence that Bart respects Marge WAY more than he respects Homer. Doesn’t prank her as much, calls her Mom instead of her first name, and unlike with Homer, when he hardly cares when he pisses him off, pissing Marge off seriously eats away at him
Bart’s been shown several times to love and care about people. He’s only a brat because Homer is a crap father who chokes him and he’s probably overshadowed by Lisa a lot.
@@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.”
Reminder that Ned Flanders was the only one in the entirety of Speinfield to help out the Simpson family in the Simpsons Movie as well as give Bart some cocoa. I just realized it says “Speinfield”
Well I’m pretty sure that came out after this episode besides later Ned realizes that he was a jerk to everyone who only tried to help rebuild his house and later apologizes to everyone
Ned was right about the Simpson family being screwed up. Marge has the best intentions, but her family is nonetheless screwed up. It sort of makes me feel bad for her.
@@paulawolanski3237 Marge has the best intentions, but only to benefit her perception of what is right, which is sometimes things that are subjective, or even wrong. Such as her views on homosexuality.

Marge: Means well, never learns her lesson about meddling Bart: A troublemaker who's need for attention undercuts any genuine feeling Lisa: A smart person, but not able to recognize she comes off as a "no-nothing-know-it-all" Wiggum: Apathetic & self-interested, caring more for his donuts then people's lives Krusty Clown: Can't read the room, which is critical for comedians Lenny: Never around when he's needed Homer: Indeed the worst person you can ever met, but is too stupid to realize it Ned: A genuine nice guy who people just love to hate on because he's trying to be a nice guy
As we grow up thinking"oh I'm like Lisa" or "oh I'm definitely Homer" I think we all ignore that about 99% of the time we are all Lenny. And that tbh isn't a bad thing. Lenny is a good guy.
Moe know's he's ugly, he know's he's hate filled.... but he also knows he's too weak and insignificant to be considered a real man, which is why the last part didn't register with him. True comedy genius from the writers.
This showed how society works so well. When you're known as being nice and patient everyone becomes baffled when you snap because of people who use you as a doormat but if it was someone who is known to be more tough and less pleasant people might've even apologized immediately. People are not reacting to you based on what you did. They react based on how they have perceived you so far.
@@randomindividual769 it’s the same as bullies. When you get bullied, people around you don’t bother to help and may even laugh at you but when you finally have had enough and defend yourself, you’re looked on as the bad guy and not the bullies which is beyond fucked up.

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.

Lisa is f annoying but apparently Bart is the bad guy
Bart’s “I am shocked and appalled” was hilarious and I don’t know why lmao

@@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.
@@Arkain7 Yes, but I was trying to play with the fact that he became a patient :)
I mean... Homer's right, he did get off easy. Ned was making personal attacks and those cut deep. Homer's insult was generic, it doesn't attack his self esteem at all.
Kinda hard to attack when there isn't one to begin with
Look who it is!
Then obviously you and I have very different viewpoints, cause if someone said something like that to me, it would have deeply wounded me, and I probably would have slipped into a very deep depression.
but it was personal. for every person was specified based off of a profile he made in his head because he showed so much restraint. but homer broke the camels back regularly and the fact he's only now saying hes the worst person hes ever met. that actually says a lot since he saved the worst for last.
Yeah his insult was more like an abrasion than anything that would cut deep. It still hurts but doesn't deeply wound, If that makes sense
Flanders analysis of each character is pretty spot on.
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?

The funniest part is that Homer technically got the worst insult out of everyone. Because Ned said *”you are the worst human being I have ever met”* meaning all the bad stuff he said to everyone else… Homer is worse.

@@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.
Ned Flanders: *snaps*
Frank Grimes (in the afterlife): _”Took you long enough..”_
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.

Ned is just like everyone else but difference was Ned was suppressing and trying to be nice all these years and finally exploded. Maybe him saying diddaly was a tic that triggered when he was stressed.
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. 😞
His parents represent the kind that shouldn't be parents!
Nice guys are always the scariest when they snap because they’re holding back way more than the a$$holes who lash out all the time. Think about it, people who get angry all the time are constantly blowing off steam, while nice people are like a nuclear reactor that overheats until one day they just reach their limit and explode.

@@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.

This is a perfect example of the nicest people being the scariest when they are pushed. And Ned Flanders was pushed to breaking point. His glasses breaking shattered his last ounce of patience in that second.
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.

Homer pushed him to the limits for years, by abusing his kindness and mocking him everytime they meet.
Homer also stole a lot of things from Flanders, clearly annoying him.
Even at his absolute worst, the fiber of Ned’s being only allowed him to do so much actual damage. Everything he said, whether justified, uncalled for, or just plain mean, was based within a strong understanding of the person he was speaking to. Ned is incredibly tuned into the needs and problems of others, and it’s no surprise that someone so observant would have so much to say, both good and bad. And he’s not even dishing things out in an unbalanced way. Immediately after ripping into everyone, he checks into a mental hospital, openly acknowledging that his behavior, while based in truth, isn’t acceptable, completely avoiding the need for any confrontation or debate.

@@paulawolanski3237 Marge has good intentions, but her stubbornness is ineffective in managing her dysfunctional family.
Ned Flanders went from a noble chirstian to a complete savage 🤬☠️😾.
Ned was going to walk away calmly until he accidentally broke his glasses. Such a small thing relatively being the thing that set him over the edge is perfect.
The proverbial straw that broke the camel's back
He also had that one little eye twitch before he started trying to calm himself.
I felt that
He just had enough. *Cannot blame him though.* Called the "Volcano Effect."
Marge: Means well, never learns her lesson about meddling
Bart: A troublemaker who's need for attention undercuts any genuine feeling
Lisa: A smart person, but not able to recognize she comes off as a "no-nothing-know-it-all"
Wiggum: Apathetic & self-interested, caring more for his donuts then people's lives
Krusty Clown: Can't read the room, which is critical for comedians
Lenny: Never around when he's needed
Homer: Indeed the worst person you can ever met, but is too stupid to realize it
Ned: A genuine nice guy who people just love to hate on because he's trying to be a nice guy
What about Moe?
@@jasongrape4920 bitter, spiteful and lonely man with zero self-esteem
Nah, Ned is the one without any self control. He is a literal hot head
@@starentertainment-n4l he’s not usually this angry, he’s usually collected.
Imo Homer is just a fool. He means well.
Lenny: HEY, I'VE ONLY BEEN HERE A FEW MINUTES. WHAT'S GOING ON?
Lenny is me in all these situations.
I like Lenny from the Simpsons!!
As we grow up thinking"oh I'm like Lisa" or "oh I'm definitely Homer" I think we all ignore that about 99% of the time we are all Lenny. And that tbh isn't a bad thing. Lenny is a good guy.
Me too
When you step into the middle of drama
When you're just born and the man in white suddenly spanks you :
Ned was goated after this outburst.
"You ugly, hate-filled man!" .. I love how Moe doesn't deny that 😁
"Hey, What was the third thing you said?" 😂
@@skylined5534 man
@@bradking9668 So he doesn't see himself as a man?
@@Nameless82284 Flanders Called Him A Man At The End?
Moe know's he's ugly, he know's he's hate filled.... but he also knows he's too weak and insignificant to be considered a real man, which is why the last part didn't register with him.
True comedy genius from the writers.
I still love the irony of Flanders saying "I don't know you, but I'm sure you're a jerk!" to Lenny, since they are voiced by the same actor. xD
Harry Shearer?
Oh,really?
😳😟
what? No way!
Poor Lenny
This showed how society works so well. When you're known as being nice and patient everyone becomes baffled when you snap because of people who use you as a doormat but if it was someone who is known to be more tough and less pleasant people might've even apologized immediately. People are not reacting to you based on what you did. They react based on how they have perceived you so far.
Facts
it's the worst feeling because when you do get angry they try to gaslight you into thinking you're over reacting and don't even bother apologizing.
@@randomindividual769 YES!!! I absolutely, positively, definitely, sure to the whole goddamned world, FUCKING HATE IT!!!!!! 🤬🤯
@@randomindividual769 it’s the same as bullies. When you get bullied, people around you don’t bother to help and may even laugh at you but when you finally have had enough and defend yourself, you’re looked on as the bad guy and not the bullies which is beyond fucked up.
@@pikminmaster2165It's not an excuse
Ned still putting on his turn signal but then crashing straight through the gate of the Mental Hospital is HILARIOUS!
Marge defends everyone, Bart defends Marge, and Lisa defends Bart. Love how that played out.
Yep I saw that difference
Lol and homer only cared that he got off easy
I love this show
Yes and that all backfired.
Reminds me of the time when Plankton insulted the entire family in that one SpongeBob episode 😂
Nobody loves Milhouse!
Ned finally understood society, and he was disgusted by it.
Like a true gamer.
@@ruminatingreptilian5907 Bottom text
What, hes not stupid, he understands everything even before this. He just doesnt show it before.
He should be.
Everything alright?
Ned calmly indicating a turn and then crashing through the gates of the mental hospital is one of my favourite sequences in "The Simpsons" history. 😆
Bart: I am shocked and appalled.
Love how nonchalantly he says that. 😂
