[@geoffsmith8172]

[@bingbashbosh1]

I really miss OG Giant Bomb

[@parlongs]

I love how well the gang works together. Each person plays their part to make this a comedic masterpiece.

Rip Giant Bomb, and Giant Beast

[@LotusGramarye]

I have to admit, Tim Allen's gospel here is 100% accurate. My eyes are literal portals leading to the outer gates, gaze into them and ye shall receive eldritch knowledge beyond the ken of man.

[@chrisjones6792]

I come back here every time someone mentions Tim Allen on Twitter.

Alex's reactions are amazing

[@Ghostiet]

my fave is when Jeff says "breath". he just goes "huh?" and then it dawns on him.

[@BloodScorchedSun]

It's not resting in peace, it's being dragged through poop.

[@PrismZet]

@@dooleh84 yeah, when you say rest in peace you aren't referring to its current state, mostly best wishes for what you'd like it to do.

[@dooleh84]

@@PrismZet I know what you meant, I'm just saying it's in a worse state than dead in the ground.

[@shihadrocks]

scruffy brad is so weird now

[@Ruintek]

I know Jeff was in bands but did he ever try standup? I feel like he has the stage presence and life experience needed, plus half of comedy is being able to bullshit for an audience

[@Ghostiet]

I don't think so. he mentioned that he almost got a gig to make rants about video games in the style of Dennis Leary and that he wanted to do some sort of more comprehensive comedy show once. the first one didn't pan out and the second one got shot down by Ryan. I think the focus was always on doing games press for both of them, the comedy & stage skills were just a bonus. a lot of it also comes from the fact that Jeff was a self-admitted dirtbag back in his teens and early 20s who largely partied for most of the time. dude bullshitted himself into the legendary "pizza waitress apartment" because it seemed like an opportunity to do dumb shit.

ah yes, that weomen are a different subhuman species is.... ggood....

[@MegaBlackDays]

Another arrives from the search term "Tim Allen." Gotta be on like page 6 of those results, right?

[@michaeldim1]

I don't think so, Tim.

[@streeterville773]

The book just sucks, Tim

[@TheCarlosCobain]

@@michaeldim1 Fuck, that deservs more likes. Guess not a whole lot of people remember Tool Time anymore.

[@CureOptimismForHumanity]

Doesn't seem that bad. Just some bog-standard "men are from Mars, women are from Venus" type stuff from the book of shitty, generic jokes/observations. Not really cause to call it the 'most evilest shit ever'. Tim Allen's ideas on space travel and death, now that's some REAL fucking nonsense.

[@RobRIPDG]

Sounded like it was taking the piss. Isn't destroying a book meant to be a big thing? like, no matter how much you hate it you shouldn't destroy it.

[@cosbyshmoony4551]

Really not that bad. I like giant bomb but sometimes they really let their san francisco puritanical shit get loose.

[@Pendarr]

Cosby Shmoony San Francisco and Puritanical are interesting words to put together lol

[@garr123]

Yeah, Tim Allen, legendary coke smuggler, is a real paradigm of old-fashioned values. Gotta be some fuckin' libshit San Fransisco tosser to think he's a dumbass.

[@WaveGazer]

Trump sucks.

[@AlexanderHarris]

It definitely leans more into hack-writing territory (WOMEN, AM I RIGHT?) than offensive, but Tim was not painting a great picture of himself. The "dinner reservations" line in particular left me with kind've a skeezy vibe. Before anyone says anything, I know it's comedy and that comedy is built upon exaggerations, irony, etc. so he wasn't being literal. It's still kind've a creepy joke.
