Ned Flanders is almost as well known for his Christianity enthusiasm as he is for his use of the word 'diddly', so he must have spat his cucumbers and cottage cheese across the room when he saw the numbers on Rod and Todd's peewee football jerseys.

During the season nine episode Bart Star, the two brothers can be seen lining up for a game. Rod is wearing the number 66 shirt and Todd is in 6, together forming the number of the beast.

It's a fleeting shot that most viewers won't have caught the first to dozen times, but once flagged up, it will evoke fond memories of Ned's non-canon outing as Satan in Treehouse of Horror.
