The Simpsons: Homer's Enemy (1997)
A Great Simpsons Episode
"Homer's Enemy" is arguably the darkest Simpsons episode, and one of the most polarizing episodes among its own production staff, there were some Simpsons writers and producers that hated it and some that liked it, even The Simpsons creator Matt Groening himself loved Homer's Enemy and considers it to be one of his favorite episodes. As for myself, I love Homer's Enemy, it is dark but also funny at times, and contrary to popular belief, it doesn't try to show Homer as a show-off to the unlucky Frank Grimes, it shows him as friendly towards Grimes, but Homer only irritates him with both his laziness and fortune, which is who Homer is. Frank Grimes is basically someone from our world who came into the Simpsons world of Springfield, an arrogant and unlucky person, which makes the episode, albeit dark, all the more hilarious.
