* Flanderization: {{Flanderization}}: The trope namer, namerino himself, I'm said to have devolved from an understanding man to a very preachy man starting with season 7.7. Lucky for me, I'm part of another trope below.
* ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat: Now this one sure comes in handy-dandy when I want to remind people what I'm also like, and why I'm considered such an upstanding guy.

''(Best read in the voice of Creator/HarryShearer)''

Howdily-doodily! My name is Ned Flanders, and I'm the daddily-doodlily of Rod and Todd Flanders, and the neighbourino of WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons! I also used to be the hubby of Maudie, but she kicked the bucket.

I'm a born-again Christian -- some might say a bit ''too'' religious -- and I do everything the Bible says, even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff! I enjoy helping people, including my neighbourino Homer, but he often says he doesn't want my help.

!!Tropey-dopeys about me
-----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: I'm usually a very happy chappy and always willing to diddily-ding-dong-do things for other people, but sometimes I get angry:
** During that time with the hurricane, I gave everyone a real tongue-lashing for doing a bad job repair-diddly-airing my house. As it turns out, part of the reason I got so tetchy was because I resented my folky-dolkies for spankin' me.
** One time I popped Homer's peeper twice because he was annoying me with his irritating rhymes!
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Whenever I drink, even if it's just a blackberry schnapps or a white wine spritzer, I turn into a gosh-darn-diddly lunatic!
* CensorshipBySpelling: I have a habit of spelling out words I'm too shy to say, like "S-E-X".
* DependingOnTheWriter:
** During that whole hurricane hullabaloo, I said I didn't dance, but another time, I stated that the only dancing I could doodly-do was square dancing. Another time, I slow-danced with Edna.
** That Dr. Foster chaps said that my unorthodox wor-diddly-ords were because of repressed anger, but another time, my relationships, even from oversea-diddly-eas, talked like me as well.
** Sometimes, I'm too shy to be naked, even in the bath, but another time, I was mighty pleased that my ski suit made me feel like I was au natural.
* InSeriesNickname: I get called "Neddy" from time to time-diddly-ime.
* LimitedWardrobe: I'm pretty much always wearing the same green sweater and grey trouseroos.
* NonNudeBathing: One time, I got too shy to see anyone's, uh, doodle even my own, so I bathed in shorts.
* PlainPalate: If "plain" is a flavour option for any food, expect it to be my favourite.
* RhymesOnADime: I don't speak in rhyme ''all'' the time, but sometimes I'll start rhymin'. One of my catchphrases is "okily-dokily", for instance.
* SharedFamilyQuirks:
** My little boys are just as religious and polite as I am!
** I have several relatives abroad who talk like I doodly-do.
* TheTeetotaler: There have been exceptions, but u-diddly-usually, I don't drink.
* UnusualEuphemism:
** I once used the term "Flander-doodles" as a euphemism for my, um... lower area. I also once called my you-know-what my "shrinky-dink".
** I swear by saying, "kididdlehopper".
* VagueAge: Sometimes I'm actually sixty but look younger due to being squeaky-clean and attending church so often. Other times, I'm in my thirties or forties.
* VerbalTic: I tend to say nonsense words, like "diddly", "doodly", and "iddly" in the middle of my sentences, sometimes even in the middle of a wor-diddly-ord.
* VomitDiscretionShot: Once I was so hungover, I tossed my cookies. I'm glad you didn't have to see it.
