- In an edition of "Kent's People", Kent Brockman tells the story of Frank Grimes, a man who "had to struggle for everything he got in life." After seeing the show, Springfield Nuclear Power Plant owner Mr. Burns is so touched that he asks Smithers to hire Grimes as his Executive Vice President.

The best part is, Homer could definitely have touched those electrical wires without any injury, because he's Homer Simpson.
Dude, he ate EVERYTHING within that power plant, and nothing effected him nor his body, he's like a legit power man of the near future 😂
the idea of the whole episode was to remark the absurdity of thw whole serie
The fact they were even there completely exposed just proves Ol Grimey's point lol
the next scene would be him waking up in the hospital, as dr hibbert says something and laughs
@@wren5685 May I remind you that a man is dead... Oh, wait, I just got it!
“IT WAS A CONTEST FOR CHILDREN”
“Yeah and Homer beat their brains out”
Classic.
I can't stand it any longer, this whole plant is insane, insane I tell you
🤣
@Humble B I can be lazy too!
@@Unknown-sz9dr look at me!
This was actually pretty smart of Homer. He copied the current plant with only minor modifications, knowing Mr. Burns wouldn't really want any major changes to the plant.
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. 😅
@@kisbie I mean, in the episode where Homer wanted to be like Edison, he showcased his creativity. What his ideas usually lack is practicality, or thought behind it, or to follow OSHA regulations.
@@M4x_P0w3rElectric hammer would be killer if you could control it, all I am sayin
@@horsehay that’s already a thing, just not in that form
Edit: google “auto hammer” and click images
And he lowered wind resistance.
I like how even Mr Burns and his personality still finds Martin's power plant too cold and sterile
But it REALLY generated power - it was lighting the room at that moment! 😆
@zbr76 he loses- get off Mr Burns' property!
“Where’s the heart man?” 😂
Lol. It was ultimately a design contest and Martin saw it as a contest between who could do electricity design as a kid
@@johnkim3899 But his design was perfect also.
He's not homer, homer would have survived the shock
Dr. Tom Trollington, right. Serves Grimey right 4 goin stark ravin mad.
Right. Homer has Godzilla's durability.
Homer has Plot Armour that borders inviniciblity
Homer has a thick skull which acts like a helmet. It is called The Homer Simpson Syndrome.
Lol
I love how touched and gratified Mr. Burns is that Homer just basically copied the existing plant.
It plays to his ego. It's saying you can't do better than what Burns has already done.
Well he did add the racing stripe
@@Bloodshark123 Yup, it's something children can't easily understand. Homer outsmarted them!
@@dragonmaster5377 looked good as well
Burns liked Homer's design because it honored the original. The ol' interview hypothetical with a burger on the side. Why add ketchup, if its already good.
Cool detail how Smithers compliments Ralph's power plant specifically because it is a Malibu Stacy doll house (smithers being a big Malibu stacy fan).
Also he’s gay. (Or heavily hinted)
@@user-qz3vn1xk2c no hes 100% gay. They come straight out with it in later seasons. Back on the 90s it was heavily implied though.
Lol ya
It’s the little callbacks that fans like.
hehe it's pretty good sir
"But this is a contest for CHILDREN!"
'Yeah, and Homer beat their brains out!"
Me: actually yeah that's a good point
No doubt
I mean he wasn’t wrong
_that's the joke..._
So funny love how martin gets dismissed lol
Even in terms of age, to Burns he is a little child.
"Too cold and sterile. Where's the heart?"
Basically new simpsons episodes/animation
BionicNinja 123 the classics were real and had heart which is they were the best
Bug it really generates power. Its lighting this room right now.
But it really produces money. It's keeping FOX afloat right now!
That’s actually a weird line coming from Mr Burns.
@@ShadeKirby500 I dont know who watches it. Its complete garbage
I love how supportive Lenny and Carl are for Homer 😂 that's awesome!
Robin Gilliver would you care to explain what is insulting about being called a dumb invalid?
Robin Gilliver “TAKE THIS CARTOON SERIOUSLY!!!”
God damn you even sound like a loser
@@WiseEndro333
Not bait, facts. Grow up.
@@WiseEndro333
Your trolling is funny.
"Wah! He's a troll".
Grow up. You know I'm truth itself.
Ironically you are not wise.
Using the "bait" meme as if it were valid.
I love how Mr. Burns is pretty brutal to the children, but when Homer has his turn he’s all gentle and encouraging 😂
Despite not knowing his name, Mr Burns probably treats Homer with the most respect. Which is somewhat little
I think what I love most about this scene is that to Burns, Homer IS a child. Plus Homer finally getting recognized for something at work and clearly being proud of himself.
I can't remember Homer Simpson ever grabbing something high voltage because he was Homer Simpson🤣
@@raven4k998I don't think that Homer is dumb enough to touch extremely high voltages without safety gloves.
@@vincentfichtler7758 he might be dumb enough to touch them but not dumb enough to touch them cause he's homer simpson🤣
@@vincentfichtler7758 To be fair, Homer would *definitely* survive touching those - he’s practically invincible.
I love how EVERYONE. Literally everyone is just so confounded by Grimes' hatred of Homer. Like Mr. Burns of all people is just there on stage confused by Grimes outburst.
agreed. first prize!
But that is the point.
Frank grimes is if you or I entered the simpsons universe and realized everything revolves around them
Burns looked like he's seen employee's lose their minds many times before
this random things that made the show special.
That racing stripe was dope though... just sayin.
They should paint the cooling towers for that Starsky and Hutch colors
Agreed. First prize!
@@noahfessenden6478 I won the internet for today
Agreed!!! They gangstaaa
It's not dope. It's sharp.
2:06 I like how Homer cycles through a full range of emotions seeing Grimey eat all those donuts, like he's thinking "hey he's enjoying himself, wait a second he's flipped his lid, no wait it's donuts, he's definitely cheering up after just now, oh wait..."
look at me I'm peeing on the seat give me a raise lol
Well spotted 😃
You magnificent bastard, Oliver, I never noticed that lol. 🏆
he deadass went 🤨😁☹️😁☹️😁☹️
Well I think he's just torn between amused and concerned because he's eating all the donuts
"Ralphie, get off the stage, sweetheart" .That was so cute. ❤
Say what you want, but Wiggum really loves his kid.
Poor Frank...always felt sorry for him. A real guy in a cartoon world.
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.
That racing stripe is pure genius. Homer knows what a power plant needs.
he was always creative
They missed an opportunity by not incorporating it into future episodes when they show the Nuclear Power Plant.
Yeah Chernobyl wouldn't have happened if it had racing stripe
@@SuperCratoss Chernobyl did add some speed holes in 1986 make it go faster.
@@SuperCratoss Needed mag wheels.
I can't believe it went over my head that Smithers liked Ralph's "Power Plant" because he's a Malibu Stacy fanatic.
“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 😂
What was hilarious to me is how burns asks homer to explain his model softly with excitement and curiosity:
1) implies he already fell in-love with a planet that looks just like his. So much that he completely transitions his adversarial attitude.
2) calling him "young man" implies that he doesn't make any age distinctions in that range, even not between children and adults.
3) calling him "young man" implies that he doesn't know who homer is yet again XD
4) bonus: homer is so excited about the contest he he is OK with burns not recognizing him
Burns has never truly gotten used to our poor, impudent planet.
Compared to Mr. Burns anybody's young. XD
Hes treating him like a child, after treating the actual children with resentment
Yes, you don't have to explain what we already know.
@@satireisnotdead5804 Your comment made my day 😂
2:05
Homer can't decide whether it's funny that he drove Grimes insane or if he's sad that the donuts are getting eaten
Lol yeah the whole thing made me laugh so much
The Simpsons were always full of Easter eggs lol.
Not everything that isn't immediately obvious is an easter egg jeez. What's making everyone use that phrase all the time and how do I stop it?
lol, never caught that
Probably both
The Joker's new backstory is pretty great
This is underrated
good one
He’d have to avoid electrocution himself to death to be a viable supervillain.
This made me laugh more than I expected 😄
Naw it would've had Frank going "Look at me, I'm Homer Simpson and I can jump into this pool of nuclear waste!" before plunging in but manages to survive and emerge as a disfigured abomination.
This scene is full of irony, including the fact Grimes has a *meltdown* inside the *power plant* . Not to mention the fact there's no safety panel covering those high voltage wires. The plant's freaking hazardous. Just goes to show how lucky Homer really is, despite being really dimwitted, lol.
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.
Homer being the plant safety inspector, it was probably his fault that the wires Grimey grabbed were so easily accessible as well..
Hey, they DID put up a warming sign 😂
@@profchaos91 that’s good enough for me, they put warning labels in things I tend to just follow those labels
@@tsipher yeah me too especially the ones predicting possibile and gruesome death
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 😁
His last words were Homer Simpson
Homer Simps....
emptyhand777 **electrocution sounds**
Shh your making us miss the contest
Agreed! 1st Prize!
That's what obsession does to a man.
I love how Martin actually BUILT a futuristic power plant XD

too cold and sterile
@StudiosOfAwesome
But it really generates power, it's lighting this room right now
@@frankmiranda707 *You lose, get off my property!*
What _is this?_
*A power plant **_for ants!?_*
I watched this episode when it aired and the interesting thing about coming back to revisit it over time you realize how your own perception changes. At first Frank’s zany actions are comedic, then you empathize with him, but eventually you realize that he’s let bitterness really consume him to the point where he’s being adversarial to Homer, who’s tried being nothing but friendly to him.
In a sense Lenny and Carl’s support of Homer is like a mirror image of Grimes. Lenny and Carl even talk about how they’re credentialed (as Frank is) while Homer isn’t, but that doesn’t stop them from being friends.
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.
"You lose, get off my property" is going to be my answer to so many situations now.
Man, Monopoly missed out on a perfect opportunity
"All it takes is one bad day to push someone over the edge."
Jeremy Winner He's right about everything he said about Homer. The thing is, he's an ass about it.
+Brian Tully That was a killing joke reference, right?
Hound Nobelman Yes. Did it make you laugh? ...Did it? No? Why not? ...Why aren't you laughing??
Hound Nobelman it is
Brian Tully I
For no real reason this just happens to be the first time Burns doesn't treat Homer like a complete nincompoop, and it pushes Grimes over the edge. That's life, I guess.
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
I love how Homer could see all the other contestants were children but proceeded to go on stage anyway lmao
That's because grimy tricked him into doing so just to humiliate him out of spite.
@@harrisonbetker2271well his plan backfired and instead of humiliating him they cheering for him.
@@vincentfichtler7758 tbf, grimey could've just ignored homer and move on. But grimey being grimey, he let it get to him up to this point.
@@harrisonbetker2271is because he is a self pity idiot even if homer was a “good employee” he could just be there looking for someone to yell and judge.
As a child I loved this episode. I loved how Homer wound him up without even trying.
As an adult, Frank Grimes is the most relatable tv character ever.
I remember finding this episode interesting And fun to watch man I should watch it again
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.
frank grimes was his own worst enemy...
ISetYourFaceOnFire go fuck your self k buddy
Or STDs, Frank Grimes happened to love prostitutes
I come from Another realm that was his stress reliever
ISetYourFaceOnFire pretty much
or 'Grimy' as he liked to be called
"I'm Homer Simpson!"
"You wish"
Yeah, I bet he was wishing he was Homer when he got electrocuted. Homer would've lived
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.
@@Jarock316 no he had hair back then working with nuclear power and electricity trust me you start losing your hair baby
@@sitdowndogbreath That's really not what happened, first off, it's a cartoon and isn't accurate at all to real life, second off, Jarock actually said what happened, and third off he's one of the protagonists, he can't die in any way.
@@skiplet87 wrong everything and everybody is replaceable including your mother
I love how Lenny and Carl we're supportive of Homer. It's just shows that they have loyalty and loyalty is a great personality and characteristic trait for friendship. I felt that in my heart. 😍👍😎💯
yeah and Homer beat their brains out
*were
Little did Grimes know that Homer Simpson was protected by the power of plot armor…
"Uh, Ralphie, get off the stage sweetheart" aww 😂😂
That part always gets me, because Ralph is so babied by Clancy and Sarah.
@@liambaylis9365 you do realize that Ralph is the definition of the word “dumbass”
So cute
I like how bloodhound gang put that in one of their songs
@@danbirmingham1168 yeah the song Ralph Wiggum
In Burns eyes, everyone is child.
For someone who saw the rise and fall of Prussia, and is still alive to this very day, it wouldn't surprise me.
You mean comparatively or intellectually?
Social Security Number: 000-00-0002 (Damn Roosevelt)
Given that he’s estimated to be at least 104 years old most living things on the planet would be considered a child aged to himself lol
@Boris Poetrevski Are you really buying into his Pangaea claim?
Frank Grimes didn't understand that Homer is well liked among his co-workers. No matter what Homer did, people would overlook it.
There are tons of situations like that. You have many underskilled workers in high positions but they survive in their shortcomings because everyone loves a clown/someone who makes them smile.
Homer was pretty smart here actually. He knew how to play the system because Mr. Burns doesn't want any change in his power plant.
No changes or pay upgrades if the plant still work in his mind his just say “every is going perfect”.
Ironically he was smart here to Fans making sure the towers don't fall over. Meltdown or spill preventative. Shows maybe homer is smart when he wants to be. He's just lazy. (Heck look @ earlier episodes he legit works hard and is serious minus the donut eating)
"And this racing stripe here, I feel is pretty sharp."
*"agreed"*
White Smith First prize!
What?!
Way to go, Homer!
sugarcat1997 Your number one homer!!
I would have loved if in the background they showed burns had added racing stripes to the plant later
"Can you explain your model young man"?
What’s to explain... he’s an idiot
Kevin Davis pipe down!
Didgeridude Well, basically I just copied the Plant we have now.
Vishnu Ramesh And this racing stripe here I feel is pretty sharp.
Humble B Then I added some fins to lower wind resistance and this racing stripe here I feel is pretty sharp.
We had a team member have a breakdown once. He was a hard worker like the rest of us. We all got on well in and out of work. One day, out of the blue, he smashed his keyboard down, stood up and started screaming bad about every one of us. Yelling out all the things we wanted to improve but weren't allowed to in front of the boss. There was no warning about it. He was fine and then he wasn't. Obviously, he was fired on the spot. Didn't even take his stuff. The rest of us got a telling about procedures and why they are the way they are and why we won't be changing them.
3 months later ... procedures were changed to match the ones he'd been screaming about. Credit went to the office snitch who had "been thinking about it for a while"
I can identify way too much with that. While I'd never go the full route to actually smash stuff or scream at someone my previous workplace was quite similar - we were still working with internal tools written in Flash in 2020. 2 weeks ago I got my termination letter, even tho I was considered "one of the best that came in a few years" ... maybe I should have taken 20 minute trips to the vending machine, avoiding work watching netflix, putting in minimal effort by the scheme "at least I tried" and failing simple tasks like some of my former workmates.
I like how homer showed concern for grimey, even though grimey CHOSE to throw everything he worked hard to accomplish in favor of his obsessive hatred and petty jealousy.
Yep that’s only thing can be real for grimes and I still don’t understand why the people is a real person in a cartoon world because he is a cartoon character
@brandonberrios9014 no people are saying grimes is a representation of what would happen if a real life character lived in a cartoon
This part used to creep me out 'cause Frank was 100% accurate.
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
Even Homer Simpson isn't stupid enough to touch high voltage electrical cabinets
Even if he did it wouldn't have shocked him like Frank. LOL
GBoi1 yeah exactly
Dibbo 92, right. Grimey went stark raving mad.
GBoi1, right. Grimey went stark raving mad.
I think all that blubber would somehow have saved him.
Could you explain your model young man 🤣. Probably one of the funniest and well delivered lines in Simpson history. This whole clip is great but just burns not giving a care that homers an adult and is probably the nicest to him over the children just always gets me.
People always quote the most random lines from the simpsons and say something about how it's the greatest line in history
Technically everyone in Burns' eyes is a child/young
The model of the power plant stroked his ego. Burn's did not want any changes to the plant so he was already impressed with Homer's model
“Too cold and sterile. Where’s the heart?”
This coming from Mr. Burns of all people is brilliant writing
Carl: “You’re making us miss the contest.”
I love that line! I can’t explain why, but it always cracks me up 😆
Exactly!!!! The delivery of that line was hilarious. LMAO it never gets old. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1:08
What’s there to explain? He’s an idiot!
The macaroni fence around Homer's model always cracks me up.

The macaroni fence is the best.
@@raven4k998 Yes, we all saw the video.
@@FireLordJohn3191I didn't notice it. I'm just having a beer looking for a laugh and what a surprise: I found the asshole in the comments. I want a ribbon like homer's
I hadn't even noticed the macaroni until I read your comment.
If Frank survived the electric shock, he would have tried to get revenge on Homer just like sideshow Bob does with Bart
I think he'd end up becoming a great villian.
his son does appears in a late episode and tries to kill him, but fail
He'd have permanent brain damage if he survived
@@Ricardo_Rick And they recruited Sideshow Bob to help them
frank's son did tried to kill homer
This is still very funny the fact that every other worker acted as if Homer was a kid and Mr Burns calling him young man 😂😂
this is actually depressing
+CM Nights since I never liked this jerk to begin with, I laughed a lot on his freak out.
Angelus Was he truly a jerk? Or he was a sane person in a Insane world
Jago Nexus, he was a hater.
Right, Angelus. He was a hater.
The whole point is that he's like a real life person put into a cartoon show with cartoon logic.
I can't blame him for losing his sanity, most would if they were put into such an irrational world.
I would never have expected Burns to cringe at the sight of a dying employee.
@FuckYouAllToPieces and Grimes was wasting company resources (i.e the electricity)
Something. I Can't Remember Anymore. Same
@@fairystail1 And all of that is *AFTER* he had already spilled Burn's precious acid and destroy his wall!!!
Mr Burns: Inside that cold exterior beats the heart of a poet
Where’s the heart?
"I'm Homer Simpson!"
"Hehe you wish!"
Lmao that comment definitely pushed Franks nerves even more and Homer has no idea XD
Genuinely burst out laughing at that one lol
To be fair to Homer in this episode in particular, that WAS a pretty sharp racing stripe.
Frank-"But this a contest for children!"
Lenny-"Yeah, and Homer beat their brains out."
@1:39. I agree with Lenny, "Homer beat there brains out". On the surface Martin's Nuclear Plant is the most innovative and it appears he deserved it. But remember your dealing with Mr. Burns he lacks vision and doesn't see anything wrong with the current plant. So Homer gave Mr. Burns what he wanted, a copy of the current plant with some minor modifications. Trust me you'll encounter people like this in the real world, who lack innovation and depth then you have to deliver a bad product which they think is great, but you know much better (I'm a Software Engineer).
This is both disappointing and accurate. May God have mercy upon us all.
So thats the reason why the new gmail sucks? Because of innovation? Good luck Grimes ;)
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. You can be a completely lacklustre boss in necessary departments, and yet, you have everyone's lives and jobs on your hands. There was a video a while back. 'I'll show them who is boss, arsenic and old lace', you might like it, Xavior. czcams.com/video/BIbXOn5zjko/video.html
SirXavior like I said. Grimes was martin’s model, highly efficient and a better model but cold sterile with no heart. Homer is the barely passable model that impressed with its simplicity.
Many great products have been invented but pitched to the wrong crowd. Look at green energy as a perfect example....
Gotta love Ralph having his moment on stage
2:34 I love how annoyed Mr. Burns looks here, even if Grimes didn't get himself killed you know Mr. Burns would've fired his ass for his outburst.
Homer's reaction at 2:05 kills me.
2:07 🍩 Loop
🙂😐🙂😐
I didn’t even notice even after all these years lol wow
Notice it was the same animation looped 3 times. Happy expression sad expression happy expression sad expression happy expression sad expression
Even though Frank is making fun Homer still checks to see if he's ok I think that's really sweet when he says are you ok grimy
yes, it is very sweet he's a doll that Homer🤣
@@CT-lj2zjyeah because homer can tell when someone is having a bad situation
"I'M PEEING ON THE SEAT! GIVE ME A RAISE!" pure comedy gold
I love how Mr Burns is more hurt at Grimes insulting Homer than Homer himself was
"Oh hi Mr Burns I'm the worst worker in the world. Time to go home to my mansion and eat my lobster!"
Oh what's this? Extremely high voltage, well I don't need safety gloves because I'm homer simp... ⚡️⚡️
While Homer did unintentionally annoy the crap out of Grimes and got him in trouble (though Grimes practically saved his life), yeah...Grimes should of leave things well alone when he's starting to get the picture no one really sees Homer as a moron who doesn't deserve such lucky breaks in life. Instead he tried to prove a point that went nowhere and reacted badly to it.
Worst thing was that Homer was genuinely trying to be friends with him or at least make some peace with Grimes after pissing him off. So...Grimes ended up causing his own demise. You feel bad for the guy being an unlucky son of a bitch but he was growing spiteful towards Homer who really wasn't trying to be a dick and it ends badly.
.......Really does not help Homer literally forgot that he died years later...In front of the man's son.
Oh yeah, how's old grimey doin?
find a hobby
The Creature Show analysis _is_ a hobby, you eunuch.
@@loganreads90 A rather lame hobby .
The Creature no one asked you.
What makes this scene even darker I think is that Frank Grimes knew he was gonna die. Once he snaps at 1:45 he's come to the realization that it is better to be dead than live with his worst enemy being adored. Once he saw the high voltage wires, he knew he was going to die and he was at peace with it. In fact the last frame we seem of Frank Grimes touching the wires is him smiling.
That's extremely dark to think about
It was actually really sweet how much Burns liked Homer's entry.
I remember when Grimes saves Homer from drinking acid, was outraged and found it unbelievable that Homer was laughing, and since comedy comes in threes: Burns was outraged and Grimes got blamed for it all for saving Homer’s mouth and throat and possibly life. No good deed goes unpunished.
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.

I wish Grimey survived and is told in hospital by Mr Burns that homers design inspired him to remodel the plant and add fins to lower wind resistance and a racing stripe because he felt it was quite sharp
Coupled with a "they had to remove the guns because birds were flying through the thing on a drunken dare"
What Grimes didn’t understand is that Homer is a MASTER of subtle flattery. All Burns cares about is money. Martins design worked and would ACTUALLY HELP PEOPLE, which is why Burns hated it. Homers was a replica of what works for Burns now, with added facade improvements that won’t take away from what they have now. Plus, Homers co workers love it because it wouldn’t eliminate their jobs, as Burns implied in the beginning.
Yeah in he’s mind was just room for “my life sucks” and “homer is a idiot” nothing more and nothing less what a waste of energy and life.

I honestly dont blame Frank for hating Homer. I can relate to Frank everyday.
Homer was just trying to be Frank's friend. Yeah, in some episodes Homer is an absolute prick, but here he was actually being sweet, and Grimes kept throwing it back in his face.
That's partly why I can't sympathise with 'Grimey' in this episode.
Exactly, homers still an idiot and most things he does do harm even when he doesn't intend to, but here he genuinely made effort (that says a lot given his usual character) to appeal to grimey, but you cant make peace with bitterness
You obviously didn't watch the episode, throwing Frank under the bus for the acid-hole in the wall when he literally saved Homer's life? That alone is unforgivable.
@@gooel I doubt that Homer would have been able to help with Mr Burns tbh.
I never understand why people say this particular episode was the one where Homer went to being a flat-out selfish jerk. To me, that was "Homer Simpson in Kidney Trouble" from Season 10. Here, this is another "Homer means well but screws up". If any, he didn't. Grimes in my opinion was in the wrong and caused his own demise. Should have left Homer alone and did his job instead of being hell bent on destroying him/getting him fired etc. Or at least be civil in rejecting Homer's friendship offer.
1:46 I love the animation style when Grimey waves his arms around in exasperation.
Looks like the Peanuts
"Change the channel, Marge!"
"That's our homah"
I thought it was surprisingly refreshing how Homers family, colleagues, and boss were really pleasant, nice, and supportive to him the whole episode.
When Grimes eats the donuts Homer's expression fluctuates between happy he's letting loose and upset donuts are being eaten by somebody else. Love the unique details and gags that only work in animation.
2:17, even Homer thinks going back to work without washing his hands is gross.
Also, wow, Homer actually expressed concern for Frank after he lost his mind. Even though Homer is supposed to have his obnoxious tendencies cranked up in this episode, he still proves to be a better man than Frank.
I'm surprised by the amount of support Grimey seems to get when he's clearly an utter twat
This is the same Homer that fished a pair of glasses out of the toilet and wore them for no reason.

It’s a cartoon
Ralph's Power plant: Season 10
Martin's Power plant: Modern Simpsons
Homer's Power plant: Classic Simpsons
@adderall admiral Yeah but not as good as the prior ones, since the simpsons was sold to Fox who made the series starting with said season
I am thinking Season 8 was last great season
Seasons 3 to 8 was *defiantly* Homer's power plant.
Grimey was so close. If he was Homer SIMPSON and not Homer SIMP, he would have survived.
I can't believe burns didnt just steal Martin's little power plant. He could have fired all his employees and made pure profit.
Even Homer knew grabbing that is stupid.
Did he.
@@kofola9145 Considering it's been in there since he worked at the plant and hasn't touched it, I guess so?
He literally tried drinking acid earlier in the episode.
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 Didn't he grab that by accident when trying to eat his lunch? Probably easier to do than accidentally touching the high voltage thing
And he ate like a pig
He doesn’t chew, he swallows
Hank Azaria must’ve had a field day recording these lines.
02:02 the way he walks 🤣
"I'm peeing on the seat, give me a raise"
What was so funny is that Homer was oblivious to the fact that they were enemies, even at the funeral.
Homer would have survived that shock.
Because he is Homer Simpson.
Truth
*And Frank Grimes was not!*
Frank Grimes made the mistake of blaming Homer for all his problems, when in fact it was Mr Burns who was responsible for most all the problems at the plant (including Homer).
I love how supportive Homers friends are
I like how Ralph Wiggum goes on stage with a Malibu Stacey dream house with the Malibu Stacey crossed out and "nuclear" put above it!!! Hah hah, and Mr. Smithers: "it's pretty good sir." 😁😁😁

I think its cute that Wiggum calls Ralph Sweetheart hahaha
Mr Burns - “Hot tub? Media room? It’s supposed to be a Power Plant, not Aunt Beulah’s Bordello! Thank you, get out”
Chief Wiggum - “Eh, Ralphie get off the stage, sweetheart”
Legendary
It was at that moment when he realized, he was not Homer Simpson.
Whoever voiced Frank must have had a lot of fun doing this scene!
Hank Azaria voiced Frank
I love how everyone’s trying to find real-life meaning in this episode when the creators themselves said Grimes was meant to be a “what-if someone from the real world ended up in Simpson’s universe”. But ironically people just see him simply as “the bitter guy” and not much else lmao. He acts so frustrated because he’s found himself in a literal cartoon world where 2+2=5, of course he’s going mental
not. is true that the author said he is a person who basically come from reality logic, but he is still a bitter dumbass, there are real peoples like homer in real life who are getting way more than they value, still we don't loose our minds, if someone different was sent there, he would just be pissed, but adapt quicly and not overeact by going "mental".
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.
That's how it starts, the fever, the fear, the feeling of helplessness that turns good men, Insane.
Daniel Anyamele Nah, there are ways to cope with a pointless crappy existence without going fully insane. It isn't easy, but it is possible.
