Homer's Enemy is such a good episode because it lends itself so well to criticism. Like obviously Frank Grimes was in the wrong, but like he's wrong because his limited ideological framework that makes him unable to reconcile the idea of hard work being rewarded unconditionally with the very existence of Homer Simpson, and this contradiction drives him so brutally insane he kills himself. And it's such a perfect conclusion too, the show itself can't solve the contradiction and just chooses to dispose of Grimes so they don't have to deal with it anymore. It's so * muaaa * chef kissing italianly
*Oh and also like throughout the episode like it seemed to root for Grimes, but everyone was, like, laughing at Grimes? Like he's constantly points out that Homer is incompetent, but everyone is like "so?" It's a major self-own, the chud that wrote this thing doesn't realize that everyone is laughing at him, because he's hysterically pointing out that everyone is naked under their clothes. I honestly am so fascinated by this episode, it's intended to be a vehicle for meritocracy, but even the tiniest scrutiny deeply deeply undermines it.
No, Frank Grimes is a fucking asshole.
