History YMMV / TheSimpsonsS21E22TheBobNextDoor

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Walt. Freaking. Warren. This man first started out as a low-level criminal, and was scheduled for early release after Mayor Quimby released minor offenders to save money, but Bob gets to go instead thanks to his latest EvilPlan to kill Bart. For the rest of the episode, Walt does everything in his power to stop Bob and save Bart, actually showing off some pretty smart feats in the process. He forms a perfect plan to escape from prison, and doesn't trust a certain waitress when she "[[ItMakesSenseInContext tries to throw him and the rest of the Simpsons off the scent after falling in love with Walt's face]]", and would much rather continue on the proper route to save Bart. Most criminals, even minor offenders, probably wouldn't go that far to save one boy that they've never even heard of, but knowing that Walt would shows a true hero. A true hero that [[DudeWheresMyRespect never gets the thanks or proper goodbye he deserves]]. The Simpsons never thank him for his help in stopping Bob, and Walt himself just disappears from the rest of the story, despite that the house next to the Simpsons' is legally in Walt's name since Bob purchased it with his identity.

** Further, the episode ends with Flanders' cousin Ted moving in next door - with his two daughters Bonnie and Connie. Any stories about the Simpsons dealing with this (Homer dealing with two Flanders, Lisa having new friends to play with, Bart getting one or both of them as love interests, etc.) are immediately thrown away as the credits roll.

* RewatchBonus: Walt Warren makes a cameo at the very start of the episode, during Quimby speech, as one of the people freed from jail, in the very first scene of the jail montage.

Are we to just assume they thank him off-screen? Well, I suppose it's better than saying that [[ItMakesSenseInContext he switched faces with a butt]].
