25 Best Supporting Characters From The Simpsons

9. Ned Flanders

Neighbour to the Simpsons family, Nedward's positive outlook on life, his constant €˜diddlying€™ and stubborn religious ways are a forever annoyance to Homer. Perhaps Springfield€™s most famous south paw, he owns the left-handed store, The Leftorium. Sadly, his beloved wife Maude was killed in a t-shirt cannon accident, leaving him to raise his two sons, Rod and Todd, alone. But having lived a sheltered life in a very strict Christian household, they€™ve been left feeble and scared of everything. Still, despite being over 60-years-old, he€™s in phenomenal physical shape and is very well-equipped in the trouser department.

8. Comic Book Guy

Obese, unshaven, socially inept, very sarcastic and usually cruel towards his customers, Jeffrey Albertson is the owner of The Android€™s Dungeon and Baseball Card Shop. A 45-year-old virgin who still lives with his mother, he€™s obsessed with comic books, the internet, pop culture and science fiction, and he€™s fluent in Klingon. He wears prescription pants, is prone to the odd heart attack, has a stash of secret illegal videos and is a member of MENSA. At one particularly gross time, he dated Agnes Skinner. Urgh.
