I still don't see how Grimes wasn't a prick to Homer here. He goes to Homer's house, is offered a meal, and launches into a tirade on how Homer (stuck in a dead end job with a bastard boss, has bratty kids who don't respect him, a wife who flip-flops how whether she resents him or not) is totally some talentless fool who doesn't deserve what he has. And how could someone as supposedly accomplished as Grimes not know that there mediocre individuals who nonetheless score above their talents thanks to connections?

This shit makes my blood boil. Imagine if there was a Chinese show about some old Chinese hag abducting a little girl from the US. But no, because it's muh stronk womyn who literally does not need a man saving a poor baby girl from China it's perfectly fine to break multiple laws so a woman who is less suitable to be a mother than a literal bag of trash can have her pet human.

On the one hand, Grimes' anger was completely understandable, and he genuinely had a lot to be resentful about.
On the other hand, nothing Grimes hated Homer for was even his fault. Homer never intended to have good things handed to him for no reason, or that all the people around him are as stupid as he is.
I guess the ultimate moral of the story is you need to learn when to just let shit go.

That's kinda the point, Homer really was trying to be friendly to Grimey. But Homer is also a slobbish incompetent oaf, who almost always avoids the consequences of his bumbling throught plot devices and dumb luck. Grimes was the opposite, he was capable and hard working but was shown to be plagued by misfortune and bad luck.
Homer's existence was an unintended mocking insult to Frank's.

That's the real tragedy in the whole thing. Neither of them were bad people, but they live in a stupid, stupid world of dumb luck and happenstance.
Of course, considering that ol' Grimey was a deadbeat dad who liked to impregnate random hookers, maybe his life was shit because he had bad judgement.

Simpsons started to rip off Family Guy and South Park a lot, ironically, after mocking Family Guy and South Park making jokes about stealing from Simpsons.
They copied storylines like the one you mentioned and even jokes, like the one where a projectile is about to hit glass sculptures, but hits the owner instead. Family Guy did the same joke but funnier.
But who the hell cares. To me the Lady Gaga episode was the nail to the coffin and when I recently saw it, an episode was about Lisa fighting for the right of female hackers and app programmers. Holy shit they are really struggling to find stories for Lisa it seems, because that concept was just ridiculous.
That's like me writing an episode complaining why mostly men work in the steel industry. It's not even a fucking issue.

Ditto. I always watched Simpsons on Sundays, it was a habit and a sort of weekend end cap off for literally years of my life. I knew things were bad for years but still kept in the habit. Occassionally got a chuckle still. That episode was just so awful it was the end. Haven't watch an episode since.
I still love the Monorail era, but this sad, limping and shambling living corpse of the Simpsons should have been put down ages ago.

Homer is reacting to people getting the nerd card.
Replace things with the nerd card and superimpose Homers reaction to other characters so that they're out of place but still somehow fit.
Why is this hard to understand?
