Is Ned Flanders Not Really Left-Handed? EP For “The Simpsons” Responds To Startling Discovery

Posted on by

This probably won’t be the most controversial thing to happen in regards to The Simpsons this year, but at least it’s way more fun. You may not know this, but The Simpsons is a religion in the UK/Ireland and the result has been numerous “Steamed Hams” videos and ardent fans constantly scanning episodes for noteworthy contradictions. Whether it’s Moe showing up twice in an episode or the constant barrage of “The Simpsons Called It”, you can definitely point fingers at UK/Ire being the source of such viral news.

The latest one involves Ned Flanders (voiced by Harry Shearer) and his long-standing notion that he is very left-handed, so left-handed that he had opened a Leftorium mall store that subsequently went under. Turns out, eagle-eyed Irish fans of The Simpsons have noted a bunch of contradictions to this proclamation and have pointed them out to show executive producer Al Jean who vows retaliation against producers for the show that probably don’t work there anymore.

Here’s hoping the first person fired is Hank Azaria. In any event, the series that was recently named UK’s favorite family continues to keep fans hooked for more fun sight gags like so. The Simpsons returns this fall on FOX with brand-new episodes. Until then, producers and cast from the show will be part of San Diego Comic-Con which you can get details for here.

Synopsis:

The longest-running primetime scripted show in television history, THE SIMPSONS exploded into popular culture in 1990 and has remained one of the most groundbreaking and innovative entertainment franchises, recognizable throughout the world.

Rounding out this cast of characters are many beloved Springfield residents, including tavern proprietor MOE SZYSLAK (Hank Azaria) and nuclear power plant owner MR. BURNS (Harry Shearer). The Emmy Award-, Annie Award- and Peabody Award-winning animated comedy will begin its 32nd season this year.

THE SIMPSONS is a Gracie Films Production in association with 20th Century Fox Television. James L. Brooks, Matt Groening and Al Jean are the executive producers. The Gracie Films Worldwide Brand Division develops and produces the licensed content for the series.
