I have to say, sometimes I think a little bit of Flanderization can turn an otherwise boring/uninteresting character into someone that’s at least funny.
For example, Ryan and Kelly from The Office. Both were more or less just boring Straight Men in a show that already had more than enough between Jim, Pam, Oscar, and arguably Stanley. I don’t think either really earned their place in the show until both were Flanderized beyond recognition.
What other characters do you think were Flanderized but in a good way?
