Flanders' age

[Elliot Mahan]

A bit of contradiction:
According to one episode, Ned is 60 or so years old (the one when he and
Homer go to Las Vegas). However, in the one where he goes crazy, he is
shown as a child in the 1960's, so he should be in his mid
30's.............is he just really bad at lying?

[Dean Humphries]

Just another inconsistency in the world that is the Simpsons.

Actually, let's do a little math. Flanders parents were shown to be
Beatniks, not hippy's, and the Beatnik movement started in the late 40's,
not the 60's. So let's say Little Neddy was 5 years old in the scene we
saw him in with his parents, and the year was about 1945. That would mean
flanders was born around 1940, and the year is 2000, so he would be right
around 60. Or, maybe a wizard did it.

But Dr. Foster said that he had spent time with Ned thirty years ago. What,
was he just an incredibly small, immature thirty-year-old?

That's more likely. Or maybe he's some kind of MAGIC Ned Flanders.

Hi,
Okay, can someone please give me a quote of when Homer says something along
those lines to Lisa (I think) ?

Thanks,
CF

I could be wrong, but I believe that was said by one of the computer
nerds who asked that to the woman who voices Itchy and Scratchy (episode
title escapers me, but it was when Homer voiced Poochie the dog). Of
course maybe Homer said it, too :) Anyway, it was something along the
lines of the nerd quoting an episode and saying that when "Itchy plays
Scratchy's ribs like an xylophone, he hits the same rib and produced two
CLEARLY different sounds. Are we to believe that this is some sort of
(chortle) MAGIC xylophone? God, I hope someone got fired for that one."

Then...

Itchy and Scratchy Lady: Umm..
Homer: Let me handle this. (To Nerd) Let me ask you this. Why would a
man who's wearing a shirt that says "Genuis at Work" spend all his time
mesmorizing a cartoon?
Nerd: (pause) I withdraw my question. (pulls out candy bar, and eats it)

lol :)

You're probably thinking of the episode where Lisa declares she intends to
become a vegetarian, and she and Homer have a dialogue along these lines:

H: "You mean you're never going to eat any more pork?"
L: "No."
H: "Or ham?"
L: "No!"
H: "Or bacon?"
L: "Dad! Those all come from the same animal!"
H: "Oh, yeah, right, Lisa; a wonderful, magical animal!"

A classic interchange.

Thats one of the best exchanges between Homer and Lisa and probably between
any two charaters!

In the episode where Lisa becomes a vegetarian...
HOMER: You mean you're not going to eat any meat?
LISA: No.
HOMER: Ham?
LISA: No.
HOMER: Pork chops?
LISA: No!
HOMER: Bacon?
LISA: Dad, those all come from the same animal!
HOMER: Heh-heh...suuuure, Lisa. A wonderful, MAGICAL animal!

Cartoons can be hypnotized? Cool!

Perhaps Viva Ned Flanders is set in 2020?

That's not what I'd expect from an auto insurance. And then he said, "Maybe you
should."
