@@MizzzFizzz The thing I never liked about the "Grimes feels like a real person" argument is that it simply isn't true. At every turn in the episode Grimes puts up with some truly insane things, probably the first being the incident with the dog. Grimes doesn't actually act like a human would to try and fix this problem, like by contacting authorities - and yes, we know the Springfield authorities are incompetent, but the point is that when presented with this situation Grimes still doesn't act like a human, he puts up with it and just becomes angry. This trend continues with pretty much every incident, Grimes doesn't report Mr Burns or Homer to any authority no matter what they do. Skirting safety regulations? Dangerous chemicals all over the place? Nope, just lets it ride. If anything, he's just as complicit through his inaction. Sure, he's aware of the problems caused by Homer - but he allows those extremely severe problems to continue. If anything, I think Grimes shows us why we shouldn't feel bad for him. Grimes is an angry, petty man who takes everything personally and does nothing to solve problems. He recognizes that there are insane things going on around him, but instead of acting on that knowledge, he just lets it anger him. He takes everything in the worst possible way, and as soon as he sees an opportunity to get back at Homer, he jumps on it - becoming a direct part of the problems around him. I mean, really? Grimes thinks it's a worthwhile use of his time to humiliate Homer by making him enter a children's contest? The truth is that no one wants to be around a Grimes. He's the anti-Homer. Grimes might be "smarter" than homer when it comes to having a straight up education, but he's socially unintelligent. Homer is a jerk, but he tries to do right by people, even when his lazy nature gets the better of him. I think the best examples are in situations where Homer will even "help" out Ned (even if the help ends up causing more harm than good) despite Ned being the person that Homer despises more than anyone else. It took only a single interaction for Grimes to entirely right off Homer, and when Homer opened up to Grimes, Grimes only took it as an insult. Now, I know the interviews where they talk about why they made Homer's Enemy - but somewhere in production, I think the result changed. Because Grimes absolutely doesn't act anything like "a real, somewhat humorless human" (taken from an interview) during the episode, and mainly serves to highlight the positive traits in Homer.

I think the real message of this episode isn’t that hard work doesn’t matter, it’s that putting it in the wrong place does. Grimes worked hard for a career that wasn’t necessary for a company or society that didn’t care about him. Homer does work hard in a sense when it comes to those he cares about and the things he loves. If someone has a problem, he’ll do anything to fix it. Look at the episode when he sacrificed his work life and career just to keep Maggie’s toy against Mr Burns wishes. He was lazy but only towards the things that were lazy to him. This makes the ending not a tragedy, but bittersweet. If Grimes worked just as hard for human connection he’d be far more rewarded.

When the dollar has no value aside from fiat, the elitists will always get more value out of an ever expanding (i.e. inflationary) dollar because they will have these dollars before they lose value by the time they reach us, the plebs. And it is the same reason why elites laugh off the current inflation (the worst in 40 years) while normal people see it (rightfully so) as an existential threat. Ron Paul was 100% right on his diagnosis of why we are where we are as a country.

"All I've wanted is for you to lead a happy life" is a thing I've heard my parents tell me more than just a few times, but only once I paused to consider the meaning of it, did the gravity of it click in me. Being driven by a similar ambition that drove Grimes does not exclude the laissez-faire outlook on things that homer has - it only does so if you rank the value of things through lenses colored by your ambitions. I've made it my task to live my life a happy person. That is not and never was a merit of my success - my success is the merit of my happiness. A passion driving me exactly where I want to go with no strings attached.

As a kid, I was told this was the best episode of the show. I didn't think the plot was special, in fact it was kind of weird and mean-spirited, so I just thought people meant the comedy. But on rewatch? Christ... 'you're what's wrong with America, Simpson' hit me like a truck. Homer's Enemy is the most subversive episode simply because it paints Homer in another light. In other episodes, he'd be depicted as a funny goofball, or someone in the wrong who'd fix the mistakes by the end. But this is the first time his 'flaw' is not something he can ever change. It's his life. His life and everything he has is ludicrous to the outsider looking in. And we start to feel for Grimes, to see Homer as someone unfairly commended by society. But that ending hit me the hardest. We finish with a shot of Homer falling asleep a group laughing. In any other episode, this would be a fun gag. But here it's not. Here, we witness a man tortured by society, die, be remembered by a name he hated, and then have a funeral full of celebrating his enemy. In a way, that scene of Homer sleeping perfectly represents what drove Grimes crazy, and what killed him. The act of putting sloth on a pedestal. Brilliant episode
@1C3CR34M6 күн бұрын
You miss the entire side of it that is Homer’s case. Grimes is purely materialistic, and seems abrasive when around others, like he isn’t talking to them to find a connection with another human, just to find a new contact to help you out whenever. Homer, however, isn’t lazy as you think. When it comes to his family, he will go above and beyond to help them. In one episode he gets a different job to let Maggie keep her new toy, which burns for some reason doesn’t want her to have. That’s just one example but there are many. Homer only puts in effort when it’s something important to him. If grimes put work into other people, no one would’ve laughed at his funeral. But because he was so uptight, everyone saw him as a joke, and rightfully so

Regarding the 'laissez-faire' attitude as being the ideal/what is admirable in Homer - as Grimes said, Homer can only enjoy his easy, consequence-free life because others are forced to deal with the consequences instead. While Homer gets to live another day because a vigilant Grimes knocked acid out of his hands, Grimes is the one being punished for the acid damage; Homer is thriving at the expense of others, and to empathize with *that* position is easy (how nice! I want to be as unburdened as Homer!), but for any of us who've grown up with Homers around, it's the short end of the stick, because those consequences do land - just on someone else. Similarly, Homer's relationship with his family is painful to observe through the lens of, you know, not being Homer. For Homer to be Homer, Marge has to devote her life to taking care of the consequences of Homer's actions; financially, societally, personally, there are many episodes where Marge has her expressed her sadness that her life is limited, that while Homer gets to go out and have adventures, she has to take care of the practicalities (and during their separations, Homer has to face consequences and can't bear it, so the 'happy ending' is them getting back together and him being able to go back to doing whatever he wants while Marge cleans up). The later seasons are harder to watch because the early warmth of the show has worn off, and Homer and Marge are still in marriage counselling with Marge bitterly grinding her teeth while Homer cheerfully ignores every need she has. It's remarked many times throughout the show that Homer is extremely selfish; the only reason he's redeemed is because of those brief moments where he puts his selfish instincts aside to do the right thing for someone else (and even then, often after letting them down; like Lisa needing a saxophone reed before her recital, and Homer decides to get a beer instead). We forgive him because at the end of the day he does the right thing, sometimes, eventually. The flip-side to people who do whatever they want, are people who are forced to clean up after them (often, sadly, out of love, integrity, sense of duty, or coercion/force). Lisa (and even Maggie, surreally enough) also fill these roles to an extent, taking on the stress of cleaning up after another person's mistakes (Homer's, and also Bart's - revealing a layer of misogyny to this issue as well). There's an episode in the early seasons where Bart's 'I do what I want' (laissez-faire) attitude is embraced by the whole town, and everything falls apart because everyone's only doing what they 'feel' like doing. To Grimes' point - it comes at a cost, and that cost lands on the caring, compassionate people who are impelled to help others, to their own detriment. Coulda just let him drink the acid, but there's that niggling integrity saying, 'if you can prevent a senseless death, you must!' If there was another Homer around, Homer'd be dead. It's curious reading some of the comments about embracing Homer's 'bare minimum' lifestyle, because obviously working hard didn't pay off for ol' Grimey (and is representative of societal lies about success) - but it's curious that the accepted solution is 'just don't care as much!' instead of, you know, fighting injustice, striving for social change, making the world a better place. Turning a blind eye just lets the Mr. Burns of the world keep doing what they're doing. My heart aches for Grimes, who did everything you're 'supposed' to - worked hard, looked out for others, did the honest thing, with integrity, manners, and patience - and died a villain. (And hey - if he'd not worked hard every day of his life, he'd be considered a lazy bum who deserved his lack of success, 'cos he just should've worked harder!) TL;DR - it's easy to enjoy doing whatever you want if others are cleaning up after you, but it's a deeply uncompassionate way to live.

@@loopyloon5401 that's actually fair, I got too focused on OP's remark on Homer's laissez-fair atitude. Well, I do believe that Grimes' (and so many others'!) tendency to blame others for his own misfortunes should benefit of at least a bit of self-awareness. It's similar to the situation where one, as a single person, gets angry over other people in a relationship, which may or not be their friends. Sure, it's valid to be sad _to a point_ because of your situation and happy for them, but from here to actually blaming others and be angry at them is a long, dangerous way. A lot of that energy that can be taken to point fingers can be put into actually searching elsewhere, take care of yourself and really, being decent. While none of that guarantees you a relationship, it does help to not do what Grimes did in society.

And bringing up later seasons is just pointless as you're comparing apples to oranges at that point. To keep things short, at the end of the day they all live in a silly world with it's own set of rules and it's entirely on Grimes for falling to adapt to that and then taking out his rage on a dim but good man who, dispite all his problems has always supported his family.

Consequences and even physics have fundamentally different rules than what Grimes believes at the start of the show. He is wrong about how the world works, and when he learns that everything he knows is wrong, he decides to try the perceived rules for himself. His mistake is that the doesn't understand that the rules are only different for "main cast" members. Lenny could do the same thing and live. Homer would get a medal. It's not a "Huh, I guess I'm being envious and shouldn't worry so much" thing. It's a "You mean people can eat spent fuel rods and it won't kill everyone in his home?" thing. It's just that Grimes doesn't understand it's not "people" that can eat spent fuel rods, but just "main cast".

Renegade Cut has an amazing video on this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmWTpH2FoN2hl8U He looks at the episode more from a class struggle perspective. I think people who think Grimes is right also forget that Homer had to give up his dreams to take a job he hates, in order to support his family. And he originally got into nuclear energy to begin with because he got the message society was broadcasting: Go into STEM. Nuclear energy is the future. Homer was a musician and bowling alley owner, both jobs he'd rather be doing and has more of a motivation to do. Running a power plant is arguably more useful, but it's not what Homer was meant for. Grimes is that insufferable person that always lectures you about bootstraps.

The bottom line though is that grimes eventually reveals that he’s jealous of Homer’s family. Homer doesn’t care at all about his job, yeah, we know that. But Homer does care about his family, and his family isn’t something he never worked for. Above all the simpsons is not a show about a man who works in a nuclear power plant, it’s a show about a family. Think of where Frank Grimes came from. He’s a great worker sure, but he was abandoned as a child by his parents. We need people like Homer to provide loving homes for the children who will eventually run the world. No matter how many great workers they might be able to produce, we don’t need more people like Grimes’s parents.

I am in the same boat as someone who is in his mid thirties I did everything by the book in the sense what the American dream was designed get a good paying job after college and raise a family of three children myself work hard and be a good role model to my kids and a provider. I didn't smoke do drugs only drank on weekends and showed up early and stayed late. I made good money and bought a house and when the market got hot I bought a bigger home. I voted red and backed the establishment. Fast forward to now age 36 I feel more like Homer than ever as all my lifestyle gave me was chasing the American dream as what others wanted me to be. I since quit my corporate job downsized my lifestyle and now use the money I made to purse my pursuit of happiness which is the true definition of our four Father's vision. I went from Champaign life style to a beer one and embraced people more than oppose their lifestyles. I get drunk more often have sex more suprising and constantly trying new things and meeting new people from all walks of life. I just gave up possessions to learn than real treasures are being with people you love. Sure I don't have a bmw and a 4k sq ft house now and I don't go on nice vacations anymore But I have do have is lasting relationships and more love and support than I ever had and to be honest I don't care what people think of me. I completely did a 180 and went from hard work to hardly working I still work don't get me wrong I just do now because i still want to be part of society and make money like anyone else but now I don't care about corporate ladders or bonuses I just want enough money to live my life the way I see fit.

I don't know if anyone's touched on this but, one thing that truly makes this episode great is how it doesn't make Homer the cause of Grimes' undoing. Everything Grimes does after Homer takes his advice to heart is entirely HIS doing. He's the one who can't accept Homer's good-hearted attempt, he's the one trying to make Homer look stupid in front of people who really don't care, He's the one who has an extreme meltdown and he's the one who touched those high voltage chords. Grimes' bitterness and refusal to accept change is what ultimately brings his downfall.

One thing I've noticed about most of The Simpsons "predictions" is that they were completely founded. For example.... Trump being president. People say that The Simpsons predicted Trump being president, in an episode that aired around the year 2000. But Trump had already talked about being president (in one form or another), way back in the 1980's (at least). Yeah, I understand that he still had to actually win and become president..... but people take The Simpson's predictions too far. People will be that The Simpsons "predicted" Trump as president, and those people will think that it was a completely unfounded crystal ball psychic powers prediction, that came out of nowhere... that no one could have ever predicted.

The episode Bart gets an F had a heavy impact on me as a kid, especially growing up with ADHD. The part at the end where he just breaks down crying at his desk saying "You dont understand, I really tried this time! I really tried!" Made me cry the first time I saw it. I related so freaking hard because it just took me back to the bad days at my desk. Days where I didn't just draw in reading class, but actually tried to read like I was supposed to. Reading, and rereading a paragraph over and over but no matter what I did no matter how hard I tried every time I started a new sentence, I couldn't remember the last one so I had to start over, again. And again. And again. I'd look around and nobody else was having this problem and I was the only one and it made me so frustrated and angry because I knew I was smart, I chose this book, I'm so smart I know what all the words mean! I can read so well but I don't understand why I can't do this right now!! and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't do it. And in that episode where Bart was going through the same thing I went through just hit me so hard. I don't think there's a single episode, especially not past season 7, that ever hit me that hard again. That, and the teacher was still a teacher, she wasn't as cartoonishly disillusioned as she became in later seasons. She actually patted him on the back and comforted a crying child who was struggling to learn in her class. That added another layer of realism to it. Where the teacher is a human being that cares, but doesn't necessarily know how to help and doesn't have the energy to go out of her way to get him the resources he actually needs. His parents don't know what ADHD is and don't know how to help him. All of these aspects contributed to one of the most perfect scenes in the Simpsons, in my opinion. At the end of the episode, the situation may have been resolved but the main issue that made it hard for him to do it in the first place, wasn't resolved. There was no wave of the magic wand and his studying issue were fixed. It's something you learn how to live with. There's more resources now, but back then in the early 2000s this is were ADHD kids were stuck. In that state of not knowing why. Even if you're lucky and get medication like I did, nobody ever taught me how my disorder effected my day to day life. Because that's all I'd ever known, I thought it was normal. Nobody taught me anything about the day to day things you have to do to cope with your ADHD and function in a way that can keep up with everyone else. I thought I just took my meds, and it made my ADHD go away. So a lot of issues that effected me to my core and my self esteem, could have been so much less painful if I had known then what I do now. But I didn't know then, and neither did Bart. At the end of the episode, even if it didn't give me answers or solutions, at the very least, it made me feel like I wasn't alone. And I respect the hell out of it for that.
