sionnach commented on the word flanderization
The act of taking a single (often minor) aspect of a TV character and exaggerating it more and more until it's huge and cartoonish and almost entirely consumes the character. Sitcom characters are particularly susceptible to this, as are peripheral characters in shows with long runs.
Named after the character of Ned Flanders in The Simpsons.
