That's how he handles a 513?!

Even as a kid this scene pissed me off. I get the whole point is that Homer doesn't know how to do his job and we're supposed to sympathize with Grimes, but why would you keep repeating the number at Homer when he clearly doesn't know what it means. Yes, he's supposed to know what he means, but he doesn't, so wouldn't it be more efficient to just skip the shorthand bullshit instead of trying to will the information into his brain like a pretentious asshole?

Not as in Experiment 513: Richter from the Stitch franchise, or Pansear from Pokemon. Lol.

Homer is annoyingly unfunny and rude relative to how he usually is, not only making it less enjoyable to watch, but making the episode's point about the world treats Homer less relevant.

Is that milhouse’s dad?

Alexander the Great would be proud.

1:11 Jesus.. I completely forgot that homer responded to Frank's statement with just a smile..... a creepy stupid smile.

0:49 LOL!!!! HIS FACE IS PRICELSS

there's a "homer" at my workplace, if she was about to drink acid, i would just stand by and watch! 😂

Homer is pretty much the Fallout character who’s invested all perk points in LUCK

I mean, it stopped it.

Arizona people try to warn me but have nothing to worry about.

Me in high school I love stealing food I miss teenagehood.

This episode was a great display of how a real person would react to Homer

That was one of the best and most intelligent Simpson episode ever. From the golden 90s Simpsons era

Homer is an idiot, but Frank is even worse. Homer never had any ill will towards Frank, while Frank became consumed by anger and envy. Frank decided to get "revenge" on Homer by trying to humiliate him. Therefore, Frank is "more" in the wrong.

I disagree with grimey on whne he calle homer a fraud, but in this specific scene he has a reason to hate him, chewed off his pen, eat his launch, was about to kill himself but grimey saved him and that resulted in him being yelled at by burns and getting half his paycheck cut, and homer never even bothered to call him by his real name

“Oh, a five…THIRTeen.”

This episode is so deep. It's a commentary on the way life is. Especially these days.

Grimes reaction is what we all would do

Everyone says Frank Grimes is the main Antagonist/Villain of Homer's Enemy I think Homer Simpson and Mr. Burns or Monty Burns are the villains because one is an irritating buffoon who caused Frank Grimes to kill himself imitating Homer and Mr. Burns has the same traits has Homer but Magnified and made ten times worse due to his evil and malignant nature and senility Frank Grimes was the victim not the villain but if he was a big IF he was the Main villain/Antagonist by proxy and due to the show's sadist humour.

Homer wasn't even being an idiot, he was just being an asshole

Stretch Grimey breaking his pencils like that is worth at least 3 donuts.

This is one of my favorite Simpson’s episodes.

Frank Grimes is normal person dropped in Simpsons universe 😂

Mr Burns doesn’t want to listen to Franks confession.

He has pencils for lunch?

Grimy

This really shows how annoying homer is

One of the funniest episodes

Sleep in a radiation suit hanging from a coat hook 😭😭😭

It's funny until it becomes your real life.

Grimes simply isn't very sympathetic. Homer isn't Peter Griffin. He does not really deserve this level of hatred. He actually tried to be Grimes friend and his only offense is that he is a simpleton. Grimes real problem is that he is an asshole.

My favorite episode w/o question

Poor frank grimes. He worked so hard but nobody can stop homers incompetence.

Well, safety inspector, that's why he knows what is trouble and what is not ~~~~~

Learn to read Homer.

Love this episode

Look, it's one thing to accept that your coworker is an idiot, but I'd be pissed if a coworker ate my lunch.

if my safety inspector narrowly avoided death 316 times, i think i would feel a lot secure that he is my inspector

Fun Fact: Grimes was meant to represent a real world man inside the insane Simpsons world.

When he checks his watch a second time

Ah the joys of working in an office and going to the fridge (full of hopefully labelled by other colleagues stuff) hoping what you put there in the morning will still be there!

I think this is what is known as authority tests. Homer is innately drawn to this new influence because Frank's presence indicates seniority I see this kind of stuff all the time. Especially with kids. They want to know whether play is suitable. Only in my experience, play is a condition of responsibility well met We can play all day so long as chores are fufilled. Frank has not established the severity of his career prospects, so Homer is aloof. And Frank, while we learn has reason to be on his game, he is overly paranoid His pitfall is assuming that others will act responsibly because of the implications of adulthood. Again the reason why parents spank their children is in the interest that they will conduct themselves in a paragon fashion. Act with sense out in public Frank misses an opportunity to correct Homer because be does not find that to be his responsibility to do so on behalf of other adults Unfortunately for him, when you elect yourself to work for others, the precedent is that eventually you will raise up and adopt some command. Which requires that you steer others with your dominion Frank is assuming that the playing field is level. When in reality, the only practical use Mr Burns has for any of his employees is how they will police themselves into making him oodles of money. What is Frank doing with that sextant that truly manifests into beaucoup dollars? This is why rote work is so troublesome. Much ado over nothing with no means to furnish a sense of authority

I've seen comments in the past where people defend Homer and say "He at least tried to make friends with him and invite him to dinner and Grimes got even more angry at him that's not fair" And I almost want to say "OK CLEARLY you've never had a student peer/coworker who's acted as dysfunctional as Homer"

2:03 you can see the moment Grimey's brain is trying to escape out of his cranium. That's why he sounds like hes in pain.

Live Grimes reaction

Take me out to the ball game, take me out to the ball!!! I sing that in the shower sometimes.
