Nosy Neighbor	comment	A neighbor (usually female) who just cannot keep to herself. Usually a grotesquely stereotyped shrewish gossip — always on the lookout for delicious secrets and rumors about the characters, which is emphasized by showing her peering suspiciously around her curtains at least Once per Episode. They usually come in two types. The female type (though not always female) is the epitome of niceness, which serves as an excuse for her chronic curiosity — she will show up on the characters' doorstep with a fresh-baked pie while peering inside over their shoulder. Sometimes the only problem with her is that she always shows up at the wrong time — Nosy Neighbors have a tendency to appear and initiate a long chat when there is something in the other room needing the character's attention that they would rather not let others know about. The second type is closer to the Cranky Neighbor, and generally just wants to be left alone — until the main characters start acting suspiciously and he feels that he needs to protect his interests and verify that they are not doing anything that may disturb their peace. This usually ends with them going further and getting more involved than intended. Occasionally a horror trope, when this starts to border on serious stalking. See also Secret Chaser for when there is some huge secret to be kept hidden from this neighbor. If it's not an impromptu pie delivery she's using as her tactic, she may pop over to ask "May I Borrow a Cup of Sugar?".

Nosy Neighbor / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons Helen Lovejoy is rather nosy about the lives of other Springfield families, proudly describing herself as the local gossip-monger. Ned Flanders had his moments of this, believing that he had to correct apparent moral flaws of other people. To give an example, most of the plot of the episode "Dude, Where's My Ranch?" happens because he barges, completely uninvited, into the Simpsons' home while Homer is trying to compose his own holiday song and tries to help (which leads to Homer writing a song about how much he hates Flanders, which leads to it becoming an Ear Worm, which leads to the Simpsons getting fed up with hearing it all day, which leads to the titular plot of going to live to a ranch for a while to get away from it).

Nosy Neighbor / int_2b0ada22	comment	WandaVision: Wanda's neighbor Agnes fits the first type, as she's always poking around in Wanda's life and showing up at her house at suspiciously convenient times. It's because she's actually a witch named Agatha Harkness who wants to know how Wanda created the sitcom Hex in the first place and then steal that power for herself. After Wanda drains Agatha of her power, she traps Agatha inside her own mind and overrides her personality with her sitcom persona of "Agnes the Nosy Neighbor". Keep in mind that this is the same fate that a Westview resident just told Wanda she'd rather die than experience again.

Grace is a woman on their party line who ties up the line constantly talking to her best friend Bertha. However, she doesn't stop there. Grace and her husband consistently listen in on Miss Brooks' conversation. At the end of the episode, Miss Brooks succeeds in having the party line changed, only to end up sharing a phone with Bertha, who is always talking to Grace. The episode ends with Bertha interrupting Miss Brooks' conversation with Mr. Boynton, and trying to get his phone number! Of interest, Bertha was played by Sandra Gould, who later would go on to be the second Mrs. Kravitz on Series/Bewitched.

Nosy Neighbor / int_b0c3c145	comment	In Mystery Road, Mary's neighbour is a nosy old man who knows everything that goes on in the street. When Mary's house gets broken into, he refuses to tell Jay anything for fear of reprisals. However, he does nod almost imperceptibly when Jay asks him if the perpetrators were driving a gold Statesman. This is enough for Jay to go on.

Nosy Neighbor / int_b37094c1	comment	In Stag, one of the main threats of exposure the men face is Victor's neighbour Ben who keeps coming over to investigate the noises coming from Victor's house. Every time, one of the party-goers has to be sent out to divert him. Given the noises include gunshots and an imprisoned stripper kicking out the glass in an upstairs window in an attempt to escape, he is right to be suspicious.

Nosy Neighbor / int_b7287a5	comment	You Me Her: Lori and her daughter Ava. They spot Izzy going to Jack and Emma's across the street, which Ava teases him about (she's Jack's student, Lori becomes his boss). Realizing this, they decide to not have Izzy visit them there again in hopes of keeping their relationship with her secret. Before long they instead claim she's Jack's niece, though neither Lori and Ava fall for it. Their nosiness reveals this shortly after. Carmen and Dave prove themselves fairly nosy too, monitoring the goings on after Izzy moves in officially later with Jack and Emma.

Nosy Neighbor / int_b8fd85	comment	Sense and Sensibility: Sir John and Mrs Jennings are good-natured gossips who take an eager interest in the romantic prospects of any young person who enters their field of vision (Mrs Jennings, it's noted, has two married daughters and is now seeking to marry off the rest of the world). Marianne Dashwood finds this extremely annoying and would give offense if Sir John and Mrs Jennings were capable of being offended. Elinor finds it tiresome, too, but she thinks that the pair's meddling is offset by their genuine kindness and generosity.

They're rather pleasant elders most of the time; it's just that their little neighbor happens to be a Magical Girl and at times they get caught in the middle of her magical mishaps by proxy, or at others they can't help being curious about it.

Ralph was a bit more proactive in being nosy than the average example, mentioning at one point to Harry that he and his group of fellow-minded neighbors intercepted and read everybody's mail, looking for evidence of Communist infiltration (the series was made in The '70s).

Lookathat in The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob! is the thick-headed head of the town council who periodically takes it upon himself to do something about all the insanity Bob inadvertently brings to Generictown. Thankfully, he's usually too inept to be a real danger, but he did organize a small angry mob once. Did it quickly, too.note Note that this was years before Charlottesville. Back in 2008, the prospect of an angry mob using silly tiki torches just seemed ridiculous.

Nosy Neighbor / int_fa00b130	comment	Spongebob Squarepants: SpongeBob and Patrick are the first type. They're nice, generous, friendly fellows and all they want to do is include Squidward in their friendship and fun — but Sponge and Pat are obnoxious and foolish, lack tact, and don't adhere to boundaries. At best, SpongeBob and Patrick are nice guys and Squidward likes them — at worst, they're extremely annoying, and Squidward is frustrated by them. Squidward is Type II, though he would never admit it. The plots of several episodes (Bubblestand, Snowball Effect, Club Spongebob, The Camping Episode, Idiot Box, etc.) begin when Squidward is so overcome with frustrated curiosity that he cannot bring himself to keep his nose out of their antics.
