10 Most Evil TV And Movie Politicians

4. Ned Flanders - The Simpsons

Simpsons did it again. Another Treehouse Of Horror entry sees Homer enter an alternate future (thanks, butterfly effect!) in which Ned Flanders is the despotic ruler of the world (or at least, future Springfield), lobotomising anyone who disobeys him in the 'Re-Neducation' process.

Escaping his own Re-Neducation process, Homer succesfully averts this dystopian future by travelling back to the age of the dinosaurs and this time sitting on a fish (d'oh).

Regarded as the best of the Treehouse Of Horror episodes (it also contains the classic The Shinning!) it posits a surprisingly terrifying villain in Evil Flanders, and one which ensures we've not been able to look at the character in quite the same way since. Diddly.
