It’s more that Homer lacks imagination, but for absolutely no reason at all other than the plot demands it, Burns thinks his is the best anyway. 😅

Despite not knowing his name, Mr Burns probably treats Homer with the most respect. Which is somewhat little

He probably thought it was his first day.

Also he’s gay. (Or heavily hinted)

“It’s pretty good, sir” is probably my favorite line in this scene lol

That was the genius of the old episodes

Oh yeah, I forgot about that 😂

Omg I just caught that 😂

Coolidge Dollar it honestly seems like everyone was purposely trying to piss Grimes off in my opinion lol

Precisely -- very poor luck. When I first saw this episode at age 12, I felt extremely sad about Grimes, and now as a grown adult I realize that it was all just the writers deciding to have some fun and/or be jerks to the sensitive viewers ... all while making a profound point about real life, of course.

Ever heard of the old saying : there's a time and place for everything or the even better saying : work, rest and play which homer Simpson does where frank grimes didn't so Frank's meltdown was bound to happen anyway. That's what happens when think better than other people and take life too seriously and try to sabotage others especially after Karl and Lenny explained everyone makes mistakes - karma"s a bitch

Coolidge Dollar u copycat

He was like that for when homer gained 300 pounds

Actually is not homer’s fault Mr burn don’t give a care if his employees die or not and if homer say something about it burn could just fire him in the spot.

@@profchaos91 the sign was probably there because somebody else did Homer's job 😁

Well, he is the one who "pulls a Homer"

And also he is the safety consultant so it’s makes sense the place he works in ends up being one big death trap

Homer would have survived that though...

Homer has the brain to not touch the wires.

This is the same place that just left sulfuric acid that was concentrated enough for one vial to completely burn through the wall just sitting there for Homer to accidentally almost drink.

Why you think Homer have no hair think about it what happens when you get zapped the hair starts to smoke

@@sitdowndogbreath I thought he lost his hair because he yanked 90 percent of it out when Marge told him she was first pregnant with Bart, then with Lisa.

Yes, you don't have to explain what we already know.

@@satireisnotdead5804 Your comment made my day 😂

while Grimes is right that Homer did sort of fall upwarts all his life, Grimes ignored the real reason to why. Which is that Homer is nice and likeable. People want Homer in their lives since he makes it better and wants to be everyones friend. So, they want good things to happen to him. While Grimes is all about work. He has no friends, because he is too goal focused to let anyone in and get close to him. Of course no one will give him a promotion, he is an ass to everyone. I like to think that this realization is what broke him. Everyone hated him and not Homer. Love and friendship isn't earned accademically or at the work place. He wasted his life doing something he hates alone, assuming that the sheer act of doing stuff you hate and nothing else means success. While Homer was content by explicatly not doing that.

@@frankwest5388 This. Homer provides for his family and he's a great guy to have a beer with and hang out. Even those that Homer has hated over the years, such as Flanders, Homer still showed him humanity at Flanders lowest point. When Marges sisters were in trouble, he was enjoying it but immediately saved them when he saw Marge upset. Frank Grimes had no such humanity. He died as he lived. Nothing but bitterness in his heart for all around him.

I think what really broke my heart for Homer trying to be Frank’s friend was that he actually invited him to dinner and Frank just lost it on him when he came to the house.

grimey was a player hater

no he isn't. Grimes was envious and entitled

Problem is he blames all his problems on Homer when Mr Burns is the boss who doesn't pay him well or appreciate his hard work.

@@meyague Grimey is the polar opposite of Homer. He works hard, and applies himself. He’s had to overcome adversity at every stage in his life with little to no reward or recognition and when he sees Homer breezing through life his frustration boils over. In that sense, his envy is justified. It’s not Homer’s fault, but Grimey is powerless so that’s where he directs his anger. This is why I think he’s so relatable.

scrolled a lot to find this comment

He's not real: his parents abandoned him, even waving as they left; he spent his childhood delivering toys to rich kids; got blown up in a silo explosion; and lost a high-paying job to a dog.

A clown world, as it were...

True

If I spent a single day in Springfield, and seen how their power plant was run, I'd get as far away as I can, asap. One look at their basement with leaking waste is enough for me. Their entire energy grid is monopolized by a power plant that is a future Chernobyl. Springfield's power plant's future will make Chernobyl look like a Three Mile Island incident.

What’s to explain... he’s an idiot

People always quote the most random lines from the simpsons and say something about how it's the greatest line in history

Frank is the ONLY good Simpsons character.

@@robinhyperlord9053 Thats wrong though. The reason Grimes' lot in life is because hes not valuing the right things. Homer met Marge and made an effort to court her, he sacrificed a lot for her and the kids all while being the child of a motherless home with an unloving father. Homer put himself out there and his attitude, when he decides to stop being lazy, is very endearing to a lot of other characters. Frank on the other hand is bitter, hes bitter of everyone who isnt him and didnt work as hard as him. He isolates himself and upon learning of Homer's good fortune decides to bully and ridicule him instead of learning how he can live better. Grimes had a horrible lot in life, but decided to be horrible because of it.

@G G The real point?

@@apollo-3744 but Grimes never had ANYTHING in life. No one ever cared about him, no one showed him love or helped him. I don't get how people can blame him for being bitter, personalities don't form magically, they depend on your enviroment and relationships when growing up, and Grimes only know about working hard to get results, but when he meets other people that don't do absolutely anything and still get praised (while he still continues to get treated like garbage) it flips his shit.

People always forget how much Homer sacrifice and sacrificed. He has the most demoralizing motivational poster in his office/workspace that Burns specifically placed to remind Homer who belongs to

Just proves life can suck and the world can be cruel.

That’s why God condemns those who call good evil and evil good.

Homer did feel bad about it and tried to patch things up, but that just made things worse. Ultimately, the trope went both ways.

@@pyromania1018 If Homer wanted to “patch things up” he should have taken responsibility and told Mr. Burns the truth.

@@pokemonjhotomaster He was too stupid to realize what had happened. All he understood was that Grimes hated him, without knowing why.

Lots of people would kill to not spend some extra money. Simple modifications are often cheaper than large ones.

That's the problem with having the ability to just buy a business if you have the money.

The true solution for 2+2=5 is to assume there is an unknown variable, not getting angry that it exists. Frank should have accounted for that to turn the current situation in his favor, not throw a temper tantrum that others were thinking differently from him.

Its kind of terrifying how many people are trying to justify Homer in this episode. Homer is destroying Grimes - eating his pencils, barging into his office, stealing his lunch, getting him in trouble with the boss and nearly sacked - and yet people *still* claim Grimes is unhinged.

@@LauRa-re9unthe reason why people defend Homer is simply because he wasn’t the problem, Mr. Burns was the issue. Homer is in his position because Burns NEEDS an incompetent moron of a safety inspector who will never do his job or report any problems. He is the perfect person since he is a good natured, durable fool who won’t stir up trouble and keep co-workers pacified. Grimes on the other hand never made friends and just stuck his nose to the grind stone. He was smart, but he failed to see the bigger picture or learn what type of person Homer is. Plus by doing his job, he was doomed to receive Burns’ attention.
