Frank had points about Homer but he really took it too far in the end trying to embarrass him in front of a contest and get more and more people to turn against him and suggesting Homer’s a disease to the world.
Grimes points out the accidents in this factory and blames home but does not even consider Mr Burns is the one who owns this power plant. Ironically he calls homer an idiot.
It's Grimes' own fault. Why take this job in Springfield without checking it out first and seeing everyone's just like Homer? And why rent an apartment that's above and below bowling alleys?
Ray Patterson *had the most sense.* Grimes couldn't change Springfield USA or had the plot armour/mindset to survive it failing that So he lost it and committed suicide.
While Grimes work ethic and discipline are admirable his views really aren't. He isn't showing homers incompetence because it could actually hurt someone else, or out of genuine concern, but it's for his own ego. This is where I stopped sympathizing with grime and started realized his flaw. Homer and Grimes are actually two halves of a whole from my stand point.
Or he could have quit and found a job at a place that had harder working employees with better work ethics. Honestly, I don't blame Homer for what happened to Grimes. Grimes could have found work elsewhere (outside of Springfield I might add) and he would have been much better off.

His mistake was his inability to realize that everyone already knew Homer was an idiot, but they still accepted him regardless, because he was a genuinely nice guy.
@@WonkyTonkBotty sort of. There are jobs that require that level of education and those that don't. There are electricians that work in the nuclear field which doesn't require college while the actual people working on the reactors have multiple degrees.
The one thing Homer is not is an asshole. He'll be on your side if you ask him nicely and even if he doesn't understand you, he'll cheer for you. People like him because he's actually a good person who's fun to be around.
I personally wouldn't want him as a friend, but I wouldn't have anything against him unless he is a *complete* asshole to me (ala Flanders). I would be civil and nice to him and then walk past to get on with my day.
Can we all agree that Frank worked way too hard to make Homer think the contest wasn't for children? There is a high probability he could have removed nothing, just left the flier on Homer's workstation, and Homer would have still fallen for it.
I've had a six year old child cause ME trouble in my youth. I can tell you it really isn't about their intelligence or lack there of so much as it is their level of exposure to the consequences of their choices against reality. Frank Grimes was a "realistic" take on a man trying to force his perspective on the "fictional" Homer Simpson who had comparatively little exposure to consequences in the wonderland version of Springfield even FRANK was living in. This was a fight he didn't realize he was never going to win. 😅
In Homer's defense, he made the effort to be professional and mature here in this clip. Grimey just was so blinded by hatred he didn't care. If people try to change for you, you should be willing to meet them halfway.
All a bit like Fawlty Towers' "Waldorf Salad" episode (where *neither* of the conflicting characters were right). Grimes was a dick for doing this, but remember, Homer didn't shower himself with glory in this episode either (stealing his lunch and pencils, throwing him under the bus after he saved his life, lied to him to come to dinner on his way to his second job etc). Want the name the real dick of this episode, name Mr. Burns.
Frank is right that Homer shouldn’t be inspector. But the problem with him is that everything he does to Homer is out of spite when Homer is just trying to be nice to him. It’s ok to be jealous and not like people for whatever reason, but it’s not ok to be a jerk to them just for that when they have never done anything to you (I know that part with the acid, but my argument still stands).
The problem is that if this scenario were real having Homer in that job would literally be putting potentially hundreds of thousands of lives in harm's way. Homer is literally leaching off of the hard work of others and is continuously rewarded for doing so. Grimes wanted to humiliate Homer and see him fall because he probably deserves to.
0:50 Actually Grimey, there's plenty of six-year-olds that are pretty smart! If only Lenny could tell him that instead of asking Carl how's he doing as if Frank Grimes wasn't there!
That’s where he goes wrong. You can call Homer a lot of things, but he’s definitely not pretentious. He’s the genuine item. I actually believe that Grimes is the anti-Homer. Think about it, Homer’s child like demeanour and his carefree nature is one side of a coin to a polar opposite version of himself: that of the type A, hardworking, underachieving Grimes. In the end, Grimes hates Homer for the wrong reasons, and he gets so obsessed by it that it spells his end.
So much satire (that is, according to my own description: good and right things are seen or simply thought of as bad and wrong and bad things are thought of as right and good things) as well as laughter, emotion and sadness, that's what The Simpsons are. The Homer's Enemy episode contains, in addition to the work differences affecting Homer and Frank's everyday life, another bright lesson: The Simpsons universe is not a suitable and comfortable place for us real people, the people of this world, to live, be well and be happy or in general what is most important in life (unless there is someone a cruel criminal, a murderer or some other abuser) there in schools, especially among children or especially among school bullies, there are their own rules, workplace bosses do not care about the safety of their employees, and almost all the people in that world are all jerks, scumbags, adding some incomprehensible slurs to their sentences, strange fools and crazy people (and sometimes they are even aware of it and are proud of it or else they just have a "that's just the way it goes" attitude) and you never know who you can trust and who you can't (because sometimes someone seems friendly but is really evil and someone else seems like a jerk, but it's really nice) and that's why everything is sometimes so awkward and confusing that almost anyone might feel betrayed, go crazy, like Frank came at the end of this episode and it was bad for him that it happened to him. It also raises the question that if the inhabitants of the Simpsons universe came here for a while (that they should live here for a while so that they have to go to work, find temporary apartments and everything before returning home), would they enjoy themselves here at all? Different rules apply here, things are taken in a better and more serious way, and the behavior known by their nature is not tolerated here because this is not a cartoon world where you can do whatever you want, whenever and wherever you want. This is a reality where we try to take good care of each other and our society in order to survive (but so that it is not, at least all the time, everywhere a hard fight) and to be happy and enjoy it, so unlike in the world of the Simpsons, this is what we do to ourselves and for each other, so unlike among those yellow-skinned people, it's no joke. I don't think they would be comfortable here at all, any more than we certainly wouldn't be with them. They would certainly think of us like this: "Absolutely horrible people, fair skin, no overbite and five fingers and toes on hands and feet and a really terrible personality. "Don't do that, don't do this!" Real troublemakers all over!" I think that Lisa would be the only one who would feel at home with us because here we take more seriously the things that she takes care of almost all the time and we work on them so that things get even better, even better. Am I right about all this? Let me know what you think about this!
Grimes claims homer has the intelligence of a six year old but even a six year old has more intelligence than homer. Perhaps some six year olds have graduated at an early age than homer. That being said homer tried being nice to Frank Grimes. I don’t understand why he hates him so much despite without any effort getting him in trouble with me burns and homer is not even ahead in life or in the company despite Frank’s perception.
Easy in this episode Homer: Constantly eats his lunch. Destroys his expensive pencils. Gives him a nickname he doesn’t like. And my personal favorite *throws him under the bus after he saves homers life* and has to take a pay cut on top of it. Who wouldn’t be vengeful after that?
The reasons why Homer haven’t been fired or Disciplined are: 1. Co-workers know he’s an idiot but they just ignore him because he’s not bothering them, like Carl says: “it’s best not to think about it” 2. Mr. Burns can’t seem to remember him, he even forgets his name and everytime Homer gets noticed he always ask Smithers who is he only to forget 5 minutes later. 3. Smithers could say/do something but his only interest is doing mr. Burns bidding. If Burns dosent pay attention to Homer neither would he. 4. There’s an episode where Burns told Homer that he’ll work here FOREVER as punishment
I think that Burns needs a safety inspector who's utterly incompetent, otherwise he will have to pay for the safety violations. This is why he needs to keep homer around
5. Mr. Burns is completely corrupted that he is the worse employer; safety violation, bribery, lack of employee concerns, lack of maintenance and just plain greedy.
"Has he been fired? No! Has he been disciplined? Oh, no!" Perhaps I can answer that. There is an earlier episode where the family was reminiscing on when baby Maggie was born and before Marge was pregnant with Maggie, Homer quit his job at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant just to pursue his dream job at the bowling alley. When Marge announced that she was pregnant, however, Homer had to leave his dream job at the bowling alley and return to his old job at the power plant, where Mr. Burns told him that he would be working there forever as punishment for his desertion.
"I could die a happy man if I can prove to you that Homer Simpson has an intelligent of a six year old". Good luck with that mate, as the line says - You can't change other people, but you can change how you act.
He then needed to quit his job at the Power Plant and leave Springfield USA (ala Ray Patterson), but *maybe* compared to him he didn't have a second job that paid well. So he instead lost his mind and life trying to change the SNPP into something he could not. You will *only* survive failing to get out of Springfield by learning to live-and-accept the plot dynamics and armour (e.g. everything evolves around Homer Jay Simpson, may as well sing "Smile, Darn Ya, Smile").

Homer had been fired multiple times. xD Grimes really should have just minded his own business and did his work the best he could.
Or he could have quit and found a job at a place that had harder working employees with better work ethics. Honestly, I don't blame Homer for what happened to Grimes. Grimes could have found work elsewhere (outside of Springfield I might add) and he would have been much better off.
He needed to follow Ray Patterson's lead (quit and leave Springfield), but I guess he didn't have the second job that paid well or mindset to do it.

Grimes's mistake wasn't trying to prove that Homer was an idiot. It was him failing to realize that everyone else was.
Which is ironic since most of the other plant employees have degrees in nuclear science
His mistake was his inability to realize that everyone already knew Homer was an idiot, but they still accepted him regardless, because he was a genuinely nice guy.
@@nubreed13 Shows how degrees and education aren't necessarily synonymous/substitutes for intelligence/common sense.

At least Ole Grimy died a happy man.
He sure did, he died as Homer Simpson, the man whom he deeply admired and aspired to be like.
*If only* he lasted long enough to see "Police Cops" air in 2 seasons' time.
What's funny is, if he really wanted to prove his point, he didn't even need to doctor the flyer
Homer was trying VERY hard to be Professional. He was even devouring his donuts with cutlery.

Yep, if Grims had just been less petty and gone with the flow he could of had a better life and made a great friend.
Well unless your name is flanders
