Ned Flanders had a difficult childhood with "beatnik" parents who didn't discipline him, leading them to take him to a psychiatrist who subjected him to the "University of Minnesota Spankalogical Protocol" for eight months to control his behavior. This treatment, while effective, made him unable to express any anger, leading to his trademark friendly demeanor masking deep-seated rage, as revealed in the episode "Hurricane Neddy". Later in life, he quit his pharmaceutical sales job to open "The Leftorium" in the Springfield mall. As a child, Ned was rambunctious due to his beatnik parents, who refused to discipline him. They took him to a psychiatrist, Dr. Foster, who subjected him to an experimental therapy called the "University of Minnesota Spankalogical Protocol" for eight months. The treatment worked too well, leaving Ned unable to express anger, which manifested as his cheerful, sometimes nonsensical, mannerisms. This inability to express anger led to a snapping point after a hurricane destroyed his home, causing him to have a violent rage and check himself into an asylum to deal with his repressed emotions. After being "cured" of his anger issues, he vowed to express his emotions instead of suppressing them. Ned worked as a pharmaceutical salesman before quitting his job to invest his savings into his store, The Leftorium, which specializes in products for left-handed people.
