Flanders the Devil (also referred to as "The Devil Flanders") is the Devil in the form of Ned Flanders.

History

THIS WEBSITE IS SO FUCKING SLOW!

Behind the Laughter

  • When the Devil Flanders gets angry at Homer at the nuclear power plant, the form he assumes is exactly like the demon Chernabog in "Night on Bald Mountain" from Fantasia.
  • Homer's ironic punishment of being force-fed donuts is a parody of the Merrie Melodies cartoon Pigs Is Pigs.
  • Unsurprisingly, Mr. Burns seems to have an affinity for the Devil: "Who's that goat-legged fellow? I like the cut of his jib." Smithers replies, "Prince of Darkness, sir. He's your eleven o'clock."
  • When the Devil Flanders first appears in the Simpson house, he and Bart exchange casual greetings: "Hey, Bart." "Hey."
  • The Devil's hand-picked "Jury of the Damned" consists of Benedict Arnold, Lizzie Borden, Richard Nixon, John Wilkes Booth, Blackbeard the Pirate, John Dillinger, and the starting line-up of the 1976 Philadelphia Flyers. When the jurors appear in the Simpson living room, the Flyers are the only ones who frighten the Simpsons.
  • Richard Nixon was still alive when Treehouse of Horror IV first aired. When he's summoned to be in the jury, he protests that he's not dead yet, but agrees to serve after the Devil Flanders reminds him that he owes the Devil a favor.
  • Interestingly, no mention is made of Homer not being in a position to make any deals involving his soul due to his having already pledged it to Marge.
  • Ned is an old english term for devil.
