-[[File:ToughLuckSign.png|thumb|left|225px|One of Serenity Ranch's misprinted signs.]]Serenity Ranch seems to have an ongoing problem with inaccurate signage, much to Tab Spangler's annoyance. When Bart first arrived at the camp, Spangler said that Bart needed tough luck, gesturing at a "Tough Luck" sign on the wall to make his point. [[Marge]] asked if the sign was supposed to be "Tough Love" instead. When Spangler saw the error, he started to get angry but then calmed down and thanked Marge for pointing it out. Later, as Spangler was driving Homer to Serenity Ranch, he said that Homer was suffering from poor self-esteem and pointed to a small sign in the car that read "P.S.I." This time, Spangler realized the error himself (that "Esteem" doesn't start with an "I") and went into a rage, yelling that "Every sign is wrong!" He then threw the "P.S.I." sign out the car window.

 [[File:ChubbyChaser.png|thumb|left|225px|The chariot exercise at Serenity Ranch.]]In one of the treatment exercises, Spangler had the clients pull a [[Chubby Chaser|chariot]] while he rode behind them cracking a whip and making them tell why they were at the camp. [[Kent Brockman]] did quite well at this exercise, admitting to having a kettle corn habit, but Bart first denied he was fat and then tried to pass his weight gain off as a growth spurt. In another exercise, [[Rainier Wolfcastle]] scooped ice cream into a trash can, berating it all the while. Bart, however, cheated by going into the room below Wolfcastle, drilling a hole in the ceiling and through the trash can, and sucking the ice cream through the hole.
-When Spangler caught Bart cheating at the ice cream exercise, he [[Tab Spangler's Volvo|drove]] him back to Springfield and showed him what his family was going through: In order to afford the cost of the fat camp treatment, the Simpsons had turned the family home into a youth hostel and taken in a large group of German backpackers, who constantly berated and humiliated them. Confronted with the true cost of his addiction, Bart kicked his junk food habit. He then put Spangler's teaching into practice by breaking into Springfield Elementary and saying to the junk food machines, "I'm ending your vending, Dog" as he smashed them with an axe. Bart stole the money from the machines and took it home to his parents, and they were able to both pay for the treatment and kick the backpackers out of the house.

 After this, Spangler announced that the family still had three weeks of unused (and non-refundable) treatment time left, and suggested that they take advantage of it. Homer ended up going to Serenity Ranch, but the outcome of his treatment isn't known.

 '''Serenity Ranch''' is a maximum security fat camp located an hour's drive from [[Springfield]]. Its slogan is "When diet, exercise and surgery aren't enough." [[Bart]] went to the camp for treatment after he became hooked on junk food and as a result gained a dangerous amount of weight.
