Image source: "Home Improvement" - S07E05 - "A Night to Dismember"

A meme screenshot from the TV series "Home Improvement". During a Halloween episode, teenager Randy Taylor is pictured in the kitchen discussing his Halloween plans with his mother (not pictured). The text on the meme reads "Watching in 1997: Ah yes, a lighthearted Republican joke on a family friendly sitcom. Amusing." The next paragraph reads "Watching in 2026: squirms in discomfort". The punchline on the meme is dialogue from Randy Taylor, displayed as subitles on the meme, which reads: "Yeah. We're going as the scariest people we could think of: Republicans".

Pretty ironic given Tim Allen is Republican. Criticized Trump after the Capitol attack, but hasn't done anything to distance from the fascism since. In fact, he says he talked Trump out of pursuing Hollywood in favor of politics. So... Yeah, apparently he wants part of the blame for this mess.

@halcyoncmdr @politicalmemes
Remember when he was arrested right here in #Kalamazoo for trying to board a plane with 650 grams of cocaine.

To be fair a pound and a half of coke would have made every time I’ve flown a whole lot better.

It's probably from his drinking...

He was getting duis thru the late 90s and had a court ordered rehab and a bunch others.

Especially back then a lot of those include a healthy dose the kind of Jesus rich people love.

Throw in normal mental decline of aging and the lead exposure from his love of cars that you'd manually add lead too...

And yeah, obviously he's a Republican now.

His brain is cooked, and has been for decades by now.

He also only got out of it by snitching on dealers. He also got a dui during the run of home improvement.

Also, his honest actual name is Tim dick. Allen is his middle name.

I think the last time I listened to the Joe Rogan podcast was when he had Roseanne Barr on right after she was canceled for racist remarks.

Rogan really tried to save her by saying that she had brain damage from when she was a kid, and was a sleep deprived Ambien zombie at the time, but she wouldn't have any of that. She just kept claiming that the she had no idea that the person who she called "Planet of the Apes" was black.

Anyways, Roseanne was complaining about how the writers for her show would put all sorts of jokes in at the expense of conservatives, but then when she wanted to put in jokes at the expense of progressives, they wouldn't let her.

So I suspect Tim Allen probably didn't have much to say about whether the Home Improvement writers ragged on lefties or righties.

Tim did a lot of cocaine. People with severe drug problems end up with paranoia and brain damage.
