And you all know my assistant, Al (fill-in-blank) Borland! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What was your favorite of Tim's nicknames for Al introducing him to the Tool Time audience? I have two:

"You all know my assistant, Al "what's the point of having a weekend?" Borland!"

and

"You all know my assistant, Al "this land is" Borland!"

I hated when they dropped that gag after the first few seasons. It wasn't as much fun when Tim stopped dogging Al so much.

"And you all know my assistant Homosexu-Al Borland!"

"You all know my ass is tan! ....t, Al Borland!

"You all know my ass bore some land, Al right."

"You all know my assistant, Al **** you borland."

(during cooking week): "and you all know my side dish, Al Borland."

(during salute to toilets): "and you all know my assistant, Al 'it's my potty and I'll cry if I want to' Borland"

(during salute to safety, Al is wearing a helmet) "and you all know my assistant, Al 'Objects keep falling on my head' Borland."

(during Siding week) "and you all know my assitant, Al 'thorn in my siding' borland"

I'd forgotten those! Great catch.

My 2 favorites were probably Al "this is land is" Borland like you mentioned Monika, and from the series finale, Al "be doing infomercials for a living" Borland

catlover79 · 01-23-2009, 09:37 PM

Al was one of my favorites. I loved him and his flannel fetish.

What HI fan didn't love Al? I agree that it was much funnier when Tim was "making fun of" Al. They stopped it too early in the series.

I think one of the dumbest things in HI's run was to break up Al and Ilene. They were perfect for each other. Who didn't love Al's mom - the enormous woman we never saw?

Oh, I definitely agree. I liked Ilene, and she was a great match for Al. I think the problem was that they introduced her too early in the show's run. They had them date for a few years, eventually get engaged, but the problem was, they couldn't have Al married in season 6 - the fun was that he was a single guy. Too bad Al couldn't have married Ilene instead of the girl he did marry in the series finale.

Yeah, Al's mom was great. Tim made the greatest cracks at her - that's another thing they quit doing that I always loved.

Remember when Tim held up Al's mom's GIGANTIC bra on a Tool Time episode? I think I actually choked on the pop I was drinking when that was originally on.

What I liked most (and still do) about HI was that it left so much to the imagination. You never actually saw Al's mom, Doc Johnson or the McGerns. They were so larger than life that they couldn't POSSIBLY be seen.

Her name was Trudy.

Yeah, I remember her. Too bad they couldn't have brought back Ilene.

Al and Ilene were perfect for each other. He should have married her.
