When Frank Grimes joins the Nuclear Power Plant in the episode Homer's Enemy, he becomes, as the title suggests, Homer's enemy. Having worked his way up from college (he has a nuclear physics degree) he is portrayed as a hard grafter but who constantly gets put down by life (he lives above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley). He doesnt take kindly to Homer when he sees him goofing around, and is alarmed by his incompetence. He is disgusted when he is invited round for dinner and sees that Homer lives in a palace, and is stunned to find he is the only one who can see his flaws. Grimey eventually snaps and decides to imitate Homer if his behaviour equates to being successful, shouting look at me! Im Homer Simpson! Whats this? Extremely high voltage. Well, I dont need safety gloves, cause Im Homer Simp He touches the cables before he can finish his sentence and is frazzled to death. At his funeral Homer falls asleep and babbles at Marge to change the channel, prompting laughter from the mourners as Grimes is laid to rest in ignominy.
