In the same episode where we see the second state flag, the
controversy encourages the governor to suggest the children of the
visiting Springfield Elementary design a new flag. Lisa comes up with
one, depicting people, and a rainbow I think, but Bart messes it up so
that it shows a 'stink line' instead. Apparently it ends up being
accepted as the new flag, for Homer remarks later that his state is 'the
stinky state' as if that were the official state motto, much as
California is 'the golden state'.

Springfield
by Eugene Ipavec, 14 september 2006
In Springfield was a revolution of babys, so Kabul rejected the city partnership with Springfield. In this screen capture, the representative of Kabul tear up the flag of Springfield.
It is a typical American city flag, blue with the CoA and the words "CITY OF SPRINGFIELD". I do not know much about the symbolism, except of the lemon. There is a lemon tree, where the children of Springfield take the fruits to make lemonade for generations.

The lemon tree also play a part in the city's history.

What I mistook for three smaller stars in the fourth quarter is
actually a "radiation" symbol.

Palm Corners
by Eugene Ipavec, 5 september 2006
Here is the flag of the fictional Florida town of
Palm Corners, from season 11 of the TV series "The Simpsons" (episode
"Kill The Alligator And Run"). The town was meant to be a parody of Fort
Lauderdale during Spring Break (something many might consider a
redundancy). A screenshot can be seen here
Eugene Ipavec, 5 september 2006
The joke in the episode was that Palm Corners' flag was
designed by (or sewn by, I forget which) the town's mascot, "Cactus Jack" (the
titular alligator). Hence the reason it looks like it was put together by an
alligator.

Kamp Krusty
by Eugene Ipavec, 1 may 2006
This flag is seen in episode 1 of season 4
entitled "Kamp Krusty." In it, Bart and Lisa are sent to a summer camp
licensed by their hero, Krusty the Clown. The camp turns out to be a
run-down hellhole where the campers are forced to subsist on gruel and
stitch wallets for export.

by Eugene Ipavec, 1 may 2006
After enduring Kamp Krusty's hardship for a while, Bart leads a sucessful revolt,
expels the counselors and renames the camp after himself. There is a

the Simpsons's version of the Australian national flag
by Sean McKinniss
The episode in which this flag was seen involved Bart being sent to
Australia to apologise for a long distance phone bill--or he'll be
given the boot! (The episode was a parody of the Michael Fay incident,
in which an American was caned for a crime in Singapore.
It contains a Union Jack in the canton, a constellation, and a boot
kicking a bare bottom. In the episode, it flew over the Australian
Parliament.

the Simpsons's version of the English flag
by Vincent Morley & Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 14 september 2005
In one episode, Marge
Simpson tells her children the story of Henry VIII of England. Henry
VIII looks very much like Homer Simpson in this joke version of
history, and the flags flying over his castle looks like the English
flag but with other colours - they are blue with a white cross.

The origin of the US flag according to the Simpsons
The episode "Lisa the Iconoclast" features a flag-related joke, wherein George
Washington, in a flashback, is handed a new US flag by Betsy Ross and
complains that it only has white stars, not the "red hearts, green
clovers, and yellow moons" he had apparently also specified. (This being
a reference to a long-running jingle for the "Lucky Charms" brand of cereal)

Unknown flag
by Eugene Ipavec, 27 may 2006
Yet another state or city flag appears, alongside a US flag, behind
mayor Quimby in the episode "Lisa the Iconoclast". It is a
red-white-blue tricolor, with thin gold stripes in between.
