One modder takes it upon themselves to add a classic Tim AllenHome Improvementjoke toStreets of Rage 2with hilarious results, and releases the mod to the public.
What does the classic sitcom showHome Improvementhave in common withStreets of Rage 2? Other than both originating in the 1990s, very little. However, one Steam modder has decided that they wanted to bring a littleHome ImprovementintoStreets of Rage 2, and the result is hilarious.
For those not in the know,Home Improvementwas a sitcom from the 1990s starring Tim Allen. Its basic plot revolved around the behind-the-scenes look at the life of a man who hosted a show on improving one’s home, hence the name. The show was extremely popular back in its day, in part due to the wide variety of comedic and weird noises that its star made, which were so iconic that one grunt in particular was incorporated into the show’s intro.
Steam Workshop modder Adrock4 seems to have enjoyed the1990s nostalgiaofStreets of Rage 2so much that he decided to bring in a little more 1990s culture in the form of Tim Allen’s grunts. In a mod that’s publicly available to anyone with a copy ofStreets of Rage 2on Steam, he’s replaced the normal enemy character death grunt in the game with Tim Allen’s “Uuuuhhh?!” from the intro ofHome Improvement. Check out the video below to see it in action.

Modders are notorious for bringing weird stuff into video games that were never intended to be there. Modders have added theMacho Man toFallout 4, turned the player into asuperhero inGrand Theft Auto V, and brokenSuper Mario 64entirely with the chaos edition hack. There’s something to be said for adding or changing something in a game to make it goofy and over the top, and while thisStreets of Rage 2mod is minuscule, it does just that.
Streets of Rage 2is available on PC via Steam, and the Tim Allen mod can be found on the Steam Workshop.
