What do you think of "Homer's Enemy?"
Deconstruction of "The Simpsons".

He's a bit of a Thersites, desu
>>67912805
Great episode!
>>67912805

It's a painful deconstruction of the whole premise of the show. It's like "sudden Game of Thrones", and there's no redemption or anything there.
People say the Skinner episode was when Simpsons jumped the shark, but this episode is the stand-out contravention of what made the show great in my eyes.
>>67912805
Found it funny as a child.
I still appreciate the episode but I grew up to be frank grimes and I'm surrounded by dumbasses at work.
Shit sucks.
>>67913576
True. Though the Simpsons did it better.
>>67912805
A glib facsimile.
>Way to go Homer!
but but its a contest for children!
>yeah, and homer beat there brains out
>You da man!
I hate it more every time its talked about. Not just for explaining the joke of the entire show, but the incredibly cynical take on Homer and the series as a whole. I'm shocked that Swartzwelder wrote it of all people
I also can't stand people like Grimes who bitch like they "deserve" something more in life while being incredibly unlikable people
>>67913918
Principal and the Pauper is really funny outside the weird plot.
It's a funny episode.

>who bitch like they "deserve" something more in life while being incredibly unlikable people
Literally me. I hate every one here at work and I think they are shitheads that laugh at dumb shit and I should be making more than them who do nothing but I'm not.
>>67912805
I like it a lot
Why is there such a contrast in people's views of the episode. I hear people say it's one of the best episodes in the series but I also hear people say it's one of the worst as it starts the decline of the series.
OKAY EVERYBODY TUCK YOUR PANT LEGS INTO YOUR SOCKS

>I also can't stand people like Grimes who bitch like they "deserve" something more in life while being incredibly unlikable people
That's called white privilege.
>that episode where Frank Grimes """"""Jr"""""""" plots to kill Homer
If you hate Homer's Enemy but like You Only Move Twice you are a hypocrite.
>>67912805
So what if it's meta? It's funny.
>>67915413
>>67915413
i'm not crazy about you only move twice but like homers enemy.
>>67912805
I personally think the show took a dark turn with Bart the General.

>heres my son he OWNS A FACTORY
also grimes bowling alley line
>i rent a 1 bedroom above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley
>>67916371
that shit was not funny. you must be a new simpsons fan.
one of the last good ones
>>67914902
>Principal and the Pauper is really funny outside the weird plot.
No it isn't
>>67915413
this doesn't make sense
a show satirizing itself and its audience =/= a self-aware James Bond parody/satire of corporations
>>67912805
>twenty-third episode of the eighth season
that's close enough to zombie simpsons to me
>>67916371
...
What the fuck is this?
>>67912805
Love it. Just another great episode for the best season of the series.
8 > 3 > 7 > 4 > 5 > 2 > 6 >>>>> 9 along with the rest
>>67913680
Delivery on that line is gold
Episode as a whole is pretty morbid though
>>67917134
i saved that as season8oknotgreat.jpg
seasons 4-7 were all better.
>>67913530
He lived above a bowling alley
and below one, too.......
>>67914902
Might remember it wrong, but I thought Grimes was overall pretty friendly and a capable person but he just lost his marbles due to seeing someone as incompetent as Homer, beloved by everyone and wealthy as shit, do better than he ever will/would.
As for me, I liked the episode a lot, but its where Homer plainly became a fully incapable monkey.
This episode represents the turning point not as the begging of the end but the end of the beginning. As a premise for a single show, the rejection and deconstruction of the show's premise was intellectually and as a viewer a respectable artistic direction to take. The fact that many if not all subsequent episodes adopted a similar interpretation of the characters and cultural nuances of their environment is what makes it truly tragic for the series.
I'd say he eats more like a duck
>>67916371
so fucking shit
>>67917233
>season 4 was great
come on, dude. one great episode does not mean a great season. so many jokes in there that go on forever. like, if it was just the dental plan one, i'd let it go, but there's at least 3 in each episode.
>>67922898
i was going to list all the season 4 episodes that were great but then i realized youre post is bait.
