Rod Flanders is voiced by [[Pamela Hayden]]. Rod prays often, first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. He prays for God to watch over him and his little brother, [[Todd Flanders|Todd]]. He prays for the success of his father's [[Leftorium|business]]. He also prays for all of the naughty little boys and girls, like his neighbor [[Bart Simpson]], who are too bad to pray for themselves. Aside from praying, Rod enjoys playing wholesomely with his brother and eating lots of "Nachos, Flanders-Style" (cucumbers with cottage cheese). His one regret is that he cannot pray at school. His favourite song is "Bringing in the Sheaves", followed closely by "Noah and the Arky-arky" and "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart". Rod has diabetes and has described being quiet during trips as one of his favourite hobbies, including clapping during songs.

'''Todd Homer Flanders''' is [[Ned]]'s 8-year-old son. He is the most impressionable and youngest member of the Flanders family.

'''Todd Flanders''' is voiced by [[Nancy Cartwright]]. Todd is the youngest and most impressionable member of the happy [[Flanders family|Flanders]] flock. When exposed to profanity (for example, from over the fence as [[Homer Simpson]] curses his way through mowing the lawn), little Todd starts to curse a blue streak himself. Whether due to immaturity or relentless sheltering by his parents, whenever Todd comes into contact with anything outside of his family and their pious ways (like the time he was tricked into eating a Pixie Stick by [[Bart Simpson]]), he turns nasty.

=== Future ===
 +
In his teens, Todd had a sexual relationship with a woman named [[Jenda]], who later dates [[Bart]].<ref>"[[Future-Drama]]"</ref> At age 38, Todd, with his brother, [[Rod]], is a crossdressing lounge singer. They live with [[Ned Flanders|their father]], who uses his pension to pay for their estrogen treatments. At age 38, he and Rod still live with [[Ned]] and take care of him because his eyes fell out.<ref>"[[Bart to the Future]]"</ref>
  
−
== Background ==
+
=== The Simpsons Game ===
−
Rod and Todd, like their parents, are very [[religious]]. The brothers enjoy attending church, Bible stories, watching religious [[cartoons]], and playing religious-themed [[board game]]s. These games include ''Good Samaritan'' - though they do not use dice because Ned says that dice are wicked. Instead they just move one space at a time - they believe "It's less fun that way".
+
Todd appears along with his brother Rod Flanders and [[Ralph Wiggum]] as Hobbit-like children who help Homer and Marge defeat the two-headed dragon in order to get the [[Keycard]].<ref>''[[NeverQuest]]''</ref>
  
−
Maude and Ned prohibit them from consuming foods containing [[sugar]], as they fear it will make them behave badly, in which it does (or send them into [[diabetic]] shock, in the case of Rod). They are also extremely [[entomophobic]] (particularly with [[moths]] and [[ladybugs]]), a behavior probably learned from their father, who considers an insect flying near someone a "bug attack". They enjoy stories about robots named Rod and Todd, though these also frighten them. Both play with a mock-up newspaper press, and take the activity very seriously. (One headline read: "This just in, playtime is fun!" - Bart responded to this by making his own newspaper stating that "Todd Smells!")  They are both also very gullible, walking into a wall when told by "[[God]]" (actually [[Bart]] on a radio-transmitting microphone) that He would make it disappear for them. Early episodes depict Rod and Todd as students at Springfield Elementary, but in later episodes they are shown being [[homeschooling|home schooled]]. In "[[Skinner's Sense of Snow]]", Ned and Homer rescue them from the school, despite this.

=== The Simpsons: Tapped Out ===

It has been suggested the two are [[homosexuality|homosexuals]], or suffering from [[gender confusion]]. (Rod told Ned in [['Tis the Fifteenth Season]] he was jealous of girls because they get to wear dresses.) Rod and Todd are both extremely sheltered from girls as Ned considers them to be a major temptation in life, along with [[rock and roll]] music. In another future-set episode, "[[Future-Drama]]", when Bart's future girlfriend mentions she wants to make love to him on prom night, and becomes disappointed when he denies her, she adds, "I never had this problem with Todd Flanders!", implying a strong, though latent, sexuality in the boy. Also, in the episode "[[Home Away From Homer]]", Ned moves away and then moves back to Springfield. When announcing this to the boys, Rod says he has a girlfriend. In another episode depicting the future ("[[Bart to the Future]]"), however, Ned thanks Bart for not [[outing]] Rod and Todd. Both Rod and Todd are then shown washing a cabinet in a slightly feminine way whilst wearing tight shorts and sporting mustaches, a style fashionable in gay culture in the 1980s, and promoted by [[Freddie Mercury]].

 +
=== Age discrepancy ===
 +
There is also some controversy as to which of the two is the elder. The commentator at the golf tournament states that Todd is 10. One of the corrections that the TV-magazine show ''Rock Bottom'' makes is to their claim that "the older Flanders boy is Todd, not Rod". (although this could have been included purely to stir up fans). Later, the Flanders family eat out for Rod's "big ten-oh", suggesting the two are of similar age (however, the present time in at least one other ''Simpsons'' episode has been set two years before that of others). However, Lisa, when babysitting Rod and Todd, tells a story about a robot named Todd who "had a brother named Rod, who was two space years older than him". Todd responds by saying, "I don't like this story!"

As Rod is shown to be quite a bit taller than Todd, the claim that Todd is the older brother is disputed. Both Rod and Todd were born before Lisa (who is 8), Todd appearing a younger age than Bart (who is 10) and when Bart was entering "the terrible twos".

Rod Flanders is voiced by [[Pamela Hayden]]. Rod prays often, first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. He prays for God to watch over him and his little brother, Todd. He prays for the success of his father's business. He also prays for all of the naughty little boys and girls, like his neighbor Bart Simpson, who are too bad to pray for themselves. Aside from praying, Rod enjoys playing wholesomely with his brother and eating lots of "[[Nachos]], Flanders-Style" ([[cucumber]]s with [[cottage cheese]]). His one regret is that he cannot pray at school. His favourite song is "Bringing in the Sheaves", followed closely by "Noah and the Arky-arky" and "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart". Rod has [[diabetes]] and has described being quiet during trips as one of his favourite hobbies, including clapping during songs. In the episode "[[Crook and Ladder]]", Rod appears to have gray hair in the whole episode.

Rod's largest role was in "[[Bart Has Two Mommies]]", where he obtains new climbing skills and rescues Bart from a gorilla atop a church. This episode also reveals Rod thinks of [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] as the most fun they've ever had ever since [[Maude Flanders|Maude]].
+
Despite these discrepancies, the Simpsons official website states that "Todd is the youngest and most impressionable member of the happy Flanders clan". This seems to trump any inconsistency concerning age seen in the episodes. On the other hand, the character profile for Rod Flanders in The Simpsons: A Complete Guide To Our Favorite Family describes him as the "youngest of the Springfield Flanders.", but they have made a few mistakes in that book. Another possible reason for the variation is that, in the DVD commentaries for show, the writers have stated that they are never sure which Flanders sibling is Rod and which one is Todd and are often forced to check character models to be sure. According to the commentary, early show writers used two different mnemonics to identify the taller brother; first that Todd started with T and was Taller, or that Rod was long like a rod and hence taller.

Todd can play the violin quite well, and is a part of the Springfield Elementary band. He is also prone to [[bedwetting]].

As Rod is shown to be quite a bit taller than Todd, the claim that Todd is the older brother is disputed. Both Rod and Todd were born before Lisa (who is eight), Todd appearing a similar age to Bart (who is 10) in the episode "[[Lisa's First Word]]" (when Bart was entering "the [[toddler|terrible twos]]"). This suggests the Flanders children are slightly older than the Simpson children.

Todd Homer Flanders is Ned's 8-year-old son. He is the most impressionable and youngest member of the Flanders family.

Biography[edit]

Rod and Todd Every Simpsons Ever.png

When exposed to profanity, Todd himself starts to curse ("Hell, no" and "I said I don't want any damn vegetables").[2] When Moe Szyslak loses his temper at Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag restaurant, Todd responds with "Ow, my freaking ears!".[3] Whether due to immaturity or relentless sheltering by his parents, whenever Todd comes into contact with anything outside his family and their pious ways, such as the time he and Rod were tricked into eating a Pixy Stix by Bart Simpson, he turns nasty, telling his older brother to "go to Hell, zitface!", much to the delight of Bart.[4] Todd can play the violin quite well, and is a part of the Springfield Elementary School band. He also plays miniature golf quite well.[5] Both himself and Rod quote rhymes Ned has taught them such as 'Users are losers' and 'Smokers are Jokers'. Todd's generally unwavering devition to his faith prompted Lisa to identify him as "The True Believer" in her list of The 20 Types of People You Meet in Elementary School.[6]

Non-canon[edit]

Future[edit]

In his teens, Todd had a sexual relationship with a woman named Jenda, who later dates Bart.[7] At age 38, Todd, with his brother, Rod, is a crossdressing lounge singer. They live with their father, who uses his pension to pay for their estrogen treatments. At age 38, he and Rod still live with Ned and take care of him because his eyes fell out.[8]

The Simpsons Game[edit]

Todd appears along with his brother Rod Flanders and Ralph Wiggum as Hobbit-like children who help Homer and Marge defeat the two-headed dragon in order to get the Keycard.[9]

Behind the Laughter[edit]

Age discrepancy[edit]

There is also some controversy as to which of the two is the elder. The commentator at the golf tournament states that Todd is 10. One of the corrections that the TV-magazine show Rock Bottom makes is to their claim that "the older Flanders boy is Todd, not Rod". (although this could have been included purely to stir up fans). Later, the Flanders family eat out for Rod's "big ten-oh", suggesting the two are of similar age (however, the present time in at least one other Simpsons episode has been set two years before that of others). However, Lisa, when babysitting Rod and Todd, tells a story about a robot named Todd who "had a brother named Rod, who was two space years older than him". Todd responds by saying, "I don't like this story!"

As Rod is shown to be quite a bit taller than Todd, the claim that Todd is the older brother is disputed. Both Rod and Todd were born before Lisa (who is 8), Todd appearing a younger age than Bart (who is 10) and when Bart was entering "the terrible twos".

Despite these discrepancies, the Simpsons official website states that "Todd is the youngest and most impressionable member of the happy Flanders clan". This seems to trump any inconsistency concerning age seen in the episodes. On the other hand, the character profile for Rod Flanders in The Simpsons: A Complete Guide To Our Favorite Family describes him as the "youngest of the Springfield Flanders.", but they have made a few mistakes in that book. Another possible reason for the variation is that, in the DVD commentaries for show, the writers have stated that they are never sure which Flanders sibling is Rod and which one is Todd and are often forced to check character models to be sure. According to the commentary, early show writers used two different mnemonics to identify the taller brother; first that Todd started with T and was Taller, or that Rod was long like a rod and hence taller.
