ned flanders

An extremely God-fearing man, with creepy little kids named Rodd and Todd. Used to have a wife named Maude, but she was hit by a barrage of t-shirts shot from bazookas at a NASCAR race, causing her to fall off the bleachers. Has an extremely ripped chest, and had a relationship with Sar Sloane, the biggest hoe in Hollywood (in the Simpsons anyway). Also a huge Beatles fan.
Homer: I didn't know you were such a Beatles fan.

Flanders: Of course I am, the Beatles were bigger than Jesus! But your boy went Yoko and broke up my collection...

Flanker

In rugby: the name given to players numbered 6-7. These individuals are well known to be gentlemen off the pitch, but as soon as they step onto the pitch they become animals, tackling anyone who comes near them, and often starting fights.
'look at that tackle' 'he must be the flanker'
'any idea who started the fight?' 'probably the flanker'

flanderization

.just like Ned Flanders on the simpsons
every thing is
its gone wet
The act of taking a single (often minor) action or trait of a character within a work and exaggerating it more and more over time until it completely consumes the character. Most always, the trait/action becomes completely outlandish and it becomes their defining characteristic. Sitcoms and Sitcom characters are particularly susceptible to this, as are peripheral characters in shows with long runs.

The trope is named for one of the examples in The Simpsons, Ned Flanders, who was originally just a considerate neighbor and attentive father, with his devout nature simply being that he willingly attended and paid attention in church, all to make him a contrast to Homer, before becoming obsessively religious to the point of stupidity.

Note that the key to this trope is in how the process is a gradual thing, the character starts relatively normal then gains a few quirks, the quirks become more prominent and then gradually become the character. If it is simply about how the character is different early on before the writers know what to do with them, that is Characterization Marches On. Flanderization doesn't have to be a bad thing - sometimes it can be used to expand on a background character's personality when they are brought to the foreground, or make an otherwise bland character stand out more.
Big bang was a good series before its flanderization mid S3
