He knows his job is to stay hidden while Bart wows everybody with his talents.Willy Loman shares many characteristics with Grandpa Simpson. Both are old and not really needed. Willy is not needed in the business world, while Grandpa is abandoned by his family and sent to a retirement home. They both constantly relive past moments, talking about the good old days (often to themselves) and they tend to exaggerate those moments such as when Willy claimed he averaged $150 a week or whenever Grandpa talks about his days as a war hero.

Grandpa says that [he] used to be with 'it', but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what [he's] with isn't 'it' anymore and what's 'it' seems weird and scary....
