* ObsessivelyNormal: The people of Humbleton are even more fuddy-duddy than Ned and that is saying something. Ned becomes a town rebel for deciding to keep his mustache and the thing that makes Ned finally decide to leave when Homer comes begging for him to return to Springfield is him looking out his house's window and seeing a crowd of Humbletown townspeople having a meltdown [[FauxHorrific because the mailbox of Ned's house has its flag halfway up]].

* EtTuBrute: What really makes Flanders upset is the fact that Homer was not only among those who secretly mocked him for the porn site incident but also is the one who informed others.
* FacialScruff: Ned refuses to shave his moustache, which the people of Humbletown take great offense at. It should be noted that, in the show's long history, no one in Springfield -- not even Homer -- has given Ned Flanders grief for his choice of facial hair.

the town's name is Humbleton


Flanders rents a room to two college girls who host a webcam porn site. Upset that no one in town told him this (and that Homer was the one who told everyone), Ned moves to the seemingly perfect town of Humble, Pennsylvania, while a brash coach moves into Flanders' house and begins harassing Homer the same way Homer harassed Ned.
