If they were "as flat as pancakes" they would be literally pancake-shaped with respect to flatness. It's not a metaphor, it's an exaggeration. It's fine to exaggerate once in a while for effect but people say it (along with the Hank Hill exaggeration) so often and matter of factly, it seems they believe it literally.
