Trivia
Matt Groening commented that the story also has a Zen quality to it. Homer is just himself and gets along fine. Frank Grimes is a Type-A personality who wants everything perfect, and he falls apart. Thus, Homer is the stronger person, despite his obvious faults.

Errores
During his nervous breakdown, Grimey imitates Homer saying "D'oh! D'oh! D'oh!", even though he never once heard Homer say his catchphrase.

Citas
Frank Grimes: God! I've had to work hard every day of my life and what do I have to show for it? This briefcase and this haircut! And what do you have to show for your lifetime of sloth and ignorance?
Homer: [Stares blankly] What?
Frank Grimes: [Enraged] E - Everything! A dreamhouse, two cars, a beautiful wife, a son who owns a factory, fancy clothes and...
[sniffs]
Frank Grimes: lobsters for dinner! And do you deserve any of it? NO!
Homer: [Gets worried and gasps] What are you saying?
Frank Grimes: I'm saying you're what's wrong with America, Simpson. You coast through life, you do as little as possible, and you leech off decent, hardworking people like me. Ha! If you lived in any other country in the world, you'd have starved to death long ago.
Bart: He's got you there, dad.
Frank Grimes: You're a fraud! A total fraud.
[to the family]
Frank Grimes: It was nice meeting you.

Superb, One of the Most Memorable Simpsons there is,

Homer's Enemy is a brilliant Simpsons episode with a very well written storyline and it's a laugh riot from start to finish. Just another one of the fantastic episodes of the eight season (my favourite season), it is one of the most memorable ones of the entire series and without a doubt one of the best. Frank Grimes is a superb once off character and is one of the biggest reasons i loved Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein as show runners so much, because they took really bizarre stories nothing like what the show had done before, and opened it up to a wider array of adventures. I also enjoyed the side story of Bart buying an abandoned warehouse, though it did feel somewhat unnecessary as the main story was so good, but it was still entertaining nonetheless. I loved how Grimes questioned everything Homer does, wondering how he has succeeded in so many things despite making no real effort, it felt like a real human being had met him, someone who had to work hard to get where he is and still hasn't gotten that far, and is annoyed by the guy who simply got very lucky. Homers Enemy is a hilarious and very memorable Simpsons episode.

A new employee at the Nuclear Power Plant is shocked at how high up an imbecile like Homer has gotten in his career, and begins to discover more surprising things about him that he is very bothered by.
