I think the joke was more that he relearned to feel the only thing he has ever felt, which was pain. Normally you would hear of someone relearning things they could already do; walk again, run again, play the piano again, etc., as a mark of 'back to their best'. The joke here is that Grimey only knew two things to relearn; listening and feeling pain.
The fact that Mr Burns #1. brought him in to be his executive VP and then #2. the next day dropped him for the position for a dog should have right of the bat been a warning sign to Grimes that Homer wasn't the only crazy person working there.

I just realized that Frank Grimes claims to live above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley, yet he collected his diploma in front of a house.
That line is to reference Homer's lost dream of working in a bowling alley that he gave up for the good of his family, one man's trash is another man's treasure
There isn´t really so many nuclear powerplants,so maybe he just had to sell his house in his home town and bought apartment between bowling alleys,because he wasn´t able to buy house in Springfield.
@@chrissawyer1484 Holy shit, you're right. He rubbed his hand on his pants really quickly before shaking. I think the writers may have intended for him to have OCD but purposely kept it open to interpretation
If Frank wasn't so wrapped up in his cult of work and demands for fairness, he might have learned how envious Homer was of Ned Flanders, how he had been fired from the plant more than once, how he had wanted to work at a bowling alley, how he had been nearly destroyed over innocently removing a candy from a woman's behind, and on and on. Envy destroys and causes the loss of rational thought, that is one of the lessons of this episode
He also would have seen that Burns had all of Homer's problems magnified by a million. He also would have seen that Carl and Lenny would have let Homer drink the acid.
When Grimes had his self-righteous, self-pitying Randroid diatribe at Homer, I'm surprised Lisa didn't stick up for her dad and tell Grimes to back off and that he was full of shit. Then I remember John Schwartzwelder wrote the episode and that would have contradicted the "conservative libertarian" message he was trying to push.
Everything about the news piece is so darkly excessive and hilarious. The parents waving goodbye, Frank shlepping all the way across a field only for the silo to explode the second gets into it.
Homer did a bunch of stuff to irritate Frank, but it wasn’t on purpose (I love that comedic trope), but Frank’s general bitterness and anger was highly misdirected.
And what makes it even smarter is the stuff they don’t tell you. Like Grimes rant at Homer’s house which becomes funnier if you remember how other episodes show the house isn’t as good as he thinks it is or how Homer worked hard to get his Grammy.
Something i never realized, Grimes has the complete opposite backstory as Mr Burns. Instead of abandoning his parents to live with a wealthy billionaire, his birth parents simply abandoned him without hesitation. If only Burns's parents knew Grimes...oh well at least they still have his little brother George.
I think they ruined his character when they revealed he had a son. What they should’ve did is show he had a twin brother, they just chose him over Frank. They gave franks brother a good life where he never really had to work hard and is often rewarded for little effort. One day however he learns he had a brother who died in Springfield so he decides to check it out. And as usual to franks existence no one really remembers or cares. He visits the grave and laments that it would’ve been nice to know his brother Frank. He goes to moes for a drink where he meets Homer and he learns he’s the real reason why Frank dies. While Homer and franks brother have a lot in common he cannot forgive Homer for being responsible for his brothers death so he dedicates his time there to get back at Homer. That right there has more potential than Frank having a son.
I think if they made the son someone who also suffered through hardship and was abandoned by Frank himself that would work too as Frank is meant as a foil to Homer and as many episodes established, the Simpson males are in a cycle of each father being a terrible parent.
Am I supposed to feel sorry for Frank Grimes or hate him because he's an antagonistic jerk to Homer? It's kinda hard to tell how the writers wants us to view him.
The writers madr me hate him. He couldve easily avoided being annoyed by homer with the pencils and the lunch. But he shows his jealousy because he wishes he had homers life and he hates him for not havin it as easily.
Frank Grimes deserved a better lot in life than he got, but not by a whole lot. He never made an effort to do anything good for someone else, unless it served him in some practical way. Lenny and Carl fit the same desciption (except in 'Hurricane Neddy'), but even they found Frank to be a bit of a wet blanket. Unlike them, Frank never took the slightest interest in the lives of his peers, except when he could critisize or insult it. Frank Grimes (or Grimey, as he liked to be called) was never a good person. For most of his life he was a harmless man, at best a productive member of society. When life forced him to take a stance, he chose to be malevolent. Which, if true, means death for us all.
I do agree that frank grimes deserves a better life, but the reason why he never made an effort to help anyone but himself was because no one has ever done anything for him. His mother abandoned him and he had to work from the bottom. He hatred homer because he's ideology was that with hard work comes with reward and him seeing homer's laziness was basically a huge insult to all the efforts he made during his life.
This episode is really a masterpiece because they created a character who had a beginning, middle, and end for a single episode. Who wasn't voice by another actor.
Frank's parents were so happy they abandoned him and even videotaped it like it was the 'best day' ever. As for Homer's parents, his mom tearfully 😢had to leave him without saying goodbye, while his father had no other choice but to raise him but was very bitter to do so.
@@Attmay As long as they're not eating it straight from the silo. (IIRC it's the dust kicked up by large stores of grain that's the real fire hazard, which makes sense-- otherwise bread would explode every time you tried to make toast)
At 2:24 the animators messed up the drawing, homer somehow spills the pencils over the desk lamp that's above the stack of papers, basically they float in space.
Good catch! This was deliberate. The same way you and I were not meant to understand how that's possible...Grimey was a real person trapped in the cartoon Springfield world, not understanding why his entire existence (to which, at the funeral, Rev. Lovejoy emphasized was tragically cut short) consisted of one misfortune after another. The animators knew what they were doing.
0:52 wait just a damn minute. Frank said he lived above one bowling alley and below another bowling alley. So who's house is he getting his mail shipped to??
On paper a tragedy, but who weeps for old Grimey? How often is tragedy unrecognized due to the mask of a less likable personality? We don't care about each others' backgrounds, all too content to cast judgment from a single interaction or even a snippet of secondhand information The past doesn't excuse present day a-holery or dbaggery It may explain it though. True kindness does not fret over merit. I need to remember that.
For what it’s worth if I recall in an episode Homer than just show up he was able to win Mr. Burns begrudging respect and get his attention… Until Mr. Burns completely forgot who he was
I like Grimes, though to me the lesson here is to stop obsessing over what other people have and how they got it. Life is unfair, that's just the truth, if you keep thinking about how and why your deserve more you will just keep hitting your head on the wall. Grimes had already gotten a decent job at the only nuclear plant in who knows how many miles and towns, he was absolutely on his way to get what Homer had, but he couldn't stop obsessing over Homer and his achievements.
Lol rubbish. He's 35 and lives in between two bowling alleys yet homer with no education whatsoever lives in a house with two living rooms 4 bedrooms two bathrooms kitchen with eating space and also a dining room is fat and somehow isn't an incel and has a family and also has two cars. No way in hell would he ever be able to afford those things even if he had worked in sector 7g for the next 30 years until he was 65. Yeah grimes has a right to be angry
So I'm guessing he would of had his son at 18 that makes his son 17 because no one ever ages. Edit: he would of had him before the accident the real question is who is the mother
Grimes is as petty and daft as any of them, its a great sketch when he organises the power plantvredesign competition, with the express purpose of showing Homer up for what he is, only to have it backfire spectacularly and realise that is actuall he himself who is the odd one out. The dog joke and the bird trying to nick his diploma is brilliant. Classic Simpsons, dark material but umpteen punchlines because it is so tightly written.
He got hard life but he still living and finally got his diploma, got shtty job, and shtty workplace. but then, he blames it to homer for the unfairness but isn't life is unfair to begin with? him blaming homer is understandable but him choose to stay and not going out find another job (which is will be pretty hard but hey you got to blame homer and take revenge) and make fortune to mock homer he instead stay and whine his heart in that shtty company? man does people really relate to him or just in the first part of his life?
Frank Grimes a one shot Simpsons Character with more tragedy in his life then Moe Syzlak or Gill Gunderson or other down on their luck characters. his life was a tragedy from start to tragic finish. I felt sorry for him. and I think Frank Grimes Jr would of been a better person if Frank Grimes was still alive but Homer and Mr. Burns made his life cut short tragically.
Not only did Frank’s parents abandon him and videotape it, they happily provided the tape when Brockman’s show asked for it
Those parents are the actual makers of this show and Frank is their real kids.
"brockman's show" - you mean the news?
*What parents they were!* 😡
…or they gave it to Frank and he gave it to Brockman. Also weird
It's probably a reenactment
His parents recorded a tape abandoning their child and waved at him as if they are proud xD jesus that's dark.
more like BAD parenting
Poor grimes

The ability to feel pain is really important, otherwise you wouldn't be aware if you've injured yourself, for example
@@sulaimandaud9581 yeah pain is very important there was a guy in the 1920's who drank irradiated water because it gave him energy he lost the ability to feel pain and then one day his jaw fell off because the water had deteriorated the muscle and bones in his jaw he should have been in immense pain but his nerves were completely fried

Exactly, Frank could’ve gotten a job at the Shelbeyville Nuclear Power Plant.
@@jeffw8218 I think Shelbeyville would have been worse for him for 2 reasons:
- They seem to have their own brand of crazy that arguebly makes the Founder who was a vicious pirate seem tame by comparison.
- They really dont like Springfielder's as shown in a couple episodes to the point that their spitefull just for the sake of it, so if they had found out He lived in Springfield they would be out for blood.
I always thought Burns was THAT senile!
He should’ve worked for Hank Scorpio
It should have been a giveaway that everything Grimes was saying about Homer was true for Mr. Burns on a million times larger scale.
I just realized that Frank Grimes claims to live above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley, yet he collected his diploma in front of a house.
That line is to reference Homer's lost dream of working in a bowling alley that he gave up for the good of his family, one man's trash is another man's treasure
@@davirafaelfranke9303 I never realized that but that's true!
Maybe that was before he moved to Springfield.
well maybe when burns had reduced his salary he had to move into that apartment with a bowling ally on top and below
There isn´t really so many nuclear powerplants,so maybe he just had to sell his house in his home town and bought apartment between bowling alleys,because he wasn´t able to buy house in Springfield.
I love how his parents recorded abandoning their son
And the best part is when they sent the video to News lol
And they wave at him went there going now
I guess you would do same for your own children.
I love how he just stands there and watches them drive off, then somehow obtains the tape😂
Why did they just abandon him like that?
"I'm Lenny.... and this is Carl and Homer......I'm Lenny"
Weenie Hut Jr's Most likely on purpose, because it's Lenny
Can Lenny have this pencil?
supamariosoniku no!
If Frank was 35, then he became a dad at around 15.
Tragic 😂
Dam life just builds misery for him lol.
He liked hookers, okay?
He f***** a hooker at 15? Wow
He was molested as a kid by a hooker
Grimey arranging everything tiny detail on his desk, he might've suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder
Anna Fowdy O.C.D
I thought how he shook hands was an O.C.D. thing as well.
I have it as well
@@chrissawyer1484 Holy shit, you're right. He rubbed his hand on his pants really quickly before shaking. I think the writers may have intended for him to have OCD but purposely kept it open to interpretation
He was obviously "off" even before he met Homer. Homer was just the last straw.
"I'm Lenny. This is Karl and Homer. I'm Lenny."
I like to imagine that was just a brain fart in the writers room and they just kept it in lol
If Frank wasn't so wrapped up in his cult of work and demands for fairness, he might have learned how envious Homer was of Ned Flanders, how he had been fired from the plant more than once, how he had wanted to work at a bowling alley, how he had been nearly destroyed over innocently removing a candy from a woman's behind, and on and on.

Frank Grimes is the most tragic person in the Simpsons universe.
A real life person trapped in the Simpsons universe.
Lmaooo, so true.
Chris Purolover i dont feel bad
Most accurate discription ever.
Chalmers is as well, however he knows not to question too far into things or else he will die as well.
I think barney deserves that accolade...he had potential, but homer turned him into a wino
most tragedy person ever but smarter.
cyber elf More tragic than Barney?
Jovana Sanchez i think Barney better than him because he got opportunity to change his life . refuse the drink.
cyber elf What about Moleman?
Jovana Sanchez i agree that guy.
Milhouses dad Kirk is by far the most tragic
Homer did a bunch of stuff to irritate Frank, but it wasn’t on purpose (I love that comedic trope), but Frank’s general bitterness and anger was highly misdirected.
It’s Bart he saves his greatest rage for.
Grimes’s first mistake was reaching for a handshake without a signaling that the higher rank wanted to shake his hand.
Tbf he was going to Burns believing that he had just gotten the job as Vice President
This might be the smartest episode of the Simpsons ever
And also from the days when The Simpsons was funny.
@@SamanthaJonesSATC This episode was right near the tail end of those days. Like, the edge of the cliff.

bromance
Nickname, he’s called him before
Ha GAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY
Anyone else notice he has the same glasses he had when he was abandoned and now as an adult?
So Homer is the nuclear power plant’s first ever employee!
That also contradicts the episode where Bart was born.

“He taught himself to… feel pain again.” In hindsight, that tells you everything you need to know about Frank.
Something about the mailman taking just slightly too long to hand him his diploma gets me

True. I learned this from watching an episode of _1,000 Ways to Die._
At 2:24 the animators messed up the drawing, homer somehow spills the pencils over the desk lamp that's above the stack of papers, basically they float in space.
I always wondered if there's now an upstairs and downstairs bowling alley thanks to this episode
Frank Grimes: '' I don't think we are being paid to sleep..''
Homer: '' YEAH ..THEY ALWAYS TRYING TO SCREW YA....'''
Cant breath XD
I can't blame him for his difficult youth.

I’m pretty sure frank grimes doesn’t even approve itchy and scratchy either.
Jeez, Frank Grimes had such a tragic life. No wonder he was miserable and angry.
So Grimes’s parents would record abandoning him and later send the video to Kent Brockman
On paper a tragedy, but who weeps for old Grimey?

Damn Silo explosions...
Frank is so nice he rubs his hand clean on his pants before shaking hands; nice touch.
That dog sure was heroic. Good that Burns gave it the regocnition it deserved
Frank Grimes had the opportunity to quit the job and work at another power plant, but lacked the determination.
So would _you_ if you had to struggle for everything you've ever got! 🤨
Poor Frank 🥺
the one true King 👑
2:45 the only time grimes ever took a joke and it wasn't even a joke
He's envy incarnate which eventually caused his demise
For what it’s worth if I recall in an episode Homer than just show up he was able to win Mr. Burns begrudging respect and get his attention… Until Mr. Burns completely forgot who he was
"abandoned by his parents" WHAT A PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR PARENTS, THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR ABANDONING THEIR SON
This is possibly one of the most we see of Homer at work
I don’t think Frank Grimes is dead inasmuch as the town had buried him alive by mistake.
"Which if true, means death for us all".
Homer's Enemy is my favourite Simpsons episode.
Homer: (snoring) Change the channel, Cartoon Guy.
I just love the idea that his parents filmed themselves abandoning him, and then the news network somehow obtained footage of it
Personally I can’t stand Grimes despite his work ethic
I like Grimes, though to me the lesson here is to stop obsessing over what other people have and how they got it. Life is unfair, that's just the truth, if you keep thinking about how and why your deserve more you will just keep hitting your head on the wall. Grimes had already gotten a decent job at the only nuclear plant in who knows how many miles and towns, he was absolutely on his way to get what Homer had, but he couldn't stop obsessing over Homer and his achievements.
Lol rubbish. He's 35 and lives in between two bowling alleys yet homer with no education whatsoever lives in a house with two living rooms 4 bedrooms two bathrooms kitchen with eating space and also a dining room is fat and somehow isn't an incel and has a family and also has two cars. No way in hell would he ever be able to afford those things even if he had worked in sector 7g for the next 30 years until he was 65. Yeah grimes has a right to be angry
@@ksspqf6016 going crazy and touching the wires was the best thing that ever happened to him.
The joke is that sometimes hard work pays off and sometimes it doesn’t.
I thought silo explosions were made up by the Simpsons as an example of Frank's absurd misfortune. But no, they really do happen.
Frank said he lives in a single room below a bowling alley and above another bowling alley but at 0:54 he’s standing in front of a decent house 🏠
What a great sounding dog.
You know the worse part about it, grime choose to picks on homer because he was “inferior” to him. Even though he isn’t even that great of a man.
He is a better man than a lot of people today and he wouldn't even need to be great to be superior to Homer.
Frank Grimes never strangled his own son.
Very accurate depiction of a real life person. I respect you Frank
I feel sorry for poor old Mr. Burns when he promotes the dog instead of Grimes he’s so old and confused 😢
Not unlike our current President 🇺🇸.
Quite like the idea that Grimes' parents filmed themselves abandoning their son and then distributed the footage to regional news organisations
The sad part is that Frank Grimes never had any friends, and before he died, he iced out the only person who ever wanted to be his friend.
So I'm guessing he would of had his son at 18 that makes his son 17 because no one ever ages. Edit: he would of had him before the accident the real question is who is the mother
In the Junior episode he says "He liked hookers, okay?"

Frank grimes is the man
2:33 -

If only a CEO would make me his Executive Vice President...! 😂

I guess this the only character who Azaria used his real voice, right?
“Change the channel Marge “
if Grimes had worn a suit he'd be taken more seriously.
If only that dog didn't perform his heroics.
