Tim Allen – IamGuruJay

What’s in Tim Allen’s toolbox? Home Improvement’s Tim ‘The Tool Man’ Taylor is one of the most memorable characters ever period Let’s begin the discussion.

Who has seen every Home Improvement episode besides me? This TV show made the 1990s a great decade. Thanks to Tim Allen, we were given greatness in syndication too.

They don’t make sitcoms like this anymore. Moreover, characters aren’t given enough time to develop. Hell, someone’s always eliminated on Game of Thrones. Something’s gotta give.

I know it’s apples and oranges but Big Bangcould never replace Home Improvementbecause society would no longer accept it. In the history of mankind families are evermore distant. What’s going on?

Home Improvement represented a noble idea. Tim ‘The Tool Man’ Taylor wasn’t the perfect handyman or the perfect father. But he was present. He was there in the moment.

Tim Allen’s comedy whether in movies (Santa Clause) or on TV (Last Man Standing) reminds us to appreciate these moments and to create them. What is more, have the grunts to prove it! Tim Allen is one of the best comedic actors of all time.

I want to see a remake of Grumpy Old Menstarring Allen and Steve Martin. Tim’s talent could have been wasted if he fed into distractions. Instead he stayed focused and chose to make something from nothing. Like Kid Rock, there won’t be another Tim Allen.

Yeah, you’ll find copycats meowing here and there. But if you wanna hear a lion roar, then you can find Tim Allen driving in his Chevy convertible top down and hair blowing everywhere. Tim Allen earned a celebrity car endorsement from Chevy.

Final thoughts, Tim Allen must have a funny tool in his toolbox otherwise he wouldn’t need Al’s help so much. Home Improvementwas a great American pastime. Most importantly, Mr. Allen makes the most of everything in his toolbox.

Who’s Better? Jerry Seinfeld Vs. Adam Sandler

BY: GURU JAY

Is Jerry Seinfeld or Adam Sandler funnier? Or should I ask who is luckier? They’re both talented comedians. But, take away Seinfeld’s TV show and he’s average.

Sandler is funnier because his funny bone extends 3 extra inches. Seinfeld is luckier since his sitcom guarantees cash. Some say Sandler is overpaid.

Let’s distinguish between comedic actors and comedians. There’s a difference between scripted sitcoms and live standup routines. Other great comedians constantly get overlooked in this area.

The media doesn’t publicize Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, and Tim Allen enough. That’s why Ferrell created Funny or Die. That’s also why Allen does Chevrolet commercials. For what it’s worth, Seinfeld signed on for Microsoft advertisements.

The comedy business isn’t for the faint of heart. Though Seinfeld and Sandler receive more attention, they pushed their brands hard. Jerry promoted the Bee movie nonstop. And Adam kept on pushing despite a few box office blunders.

Jerry Seinfeld and Adam Sandler are two of the best comedic actors in cinematic history alongside the likes of Eddie Murphy and Will Smith. As a side note, no one really views Smith as a comedic actor.

Do you consider Adam and Jerry great comedians?

What if I threw Ben Stiller into the mix? Would you rather see Ben and Jerry do standup or eat their ice cream? David Spade is another underrated comedian Hollywood doesn’t fully support and appreciate.

What are your favorite Adam Sandler movies? I recommend Grown Ups, Funny People, Happy Gilmore, and Mr. Deeds. Looking back on their careers, not many celebrities are luckier than Sandler and Seinfeld.

Credit Adam’s agent for negotiating lucrative contracts. Thank Larry David for creating Jerry Seinfeld’s sitcom. Do you like Seinfeld better than Everybody Loves Raymond?

I respect TV legends; and, Jerry Seinfeld certainly fits the bill. Also, I admire great comedians; and, Adam Sandler is exceptional. So, who’s better? Well, isn’t Adam always first?
