Tim Allen's likening a conservative's experience in Hollywood to Nazi Germany hasn't elicited laughs from everyone in and outside of Tinseltown.

"Tim, have you lost your mind?" asked executive director of the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect Steven Goldstein in a statement posted to the organization's Facebook page Sunday, which asked the actor to apologize.

He was reacting to remarks the Last Man Standing star made during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live Friday.

When Allen seemed hesitant about admitting he went to President Trump's inauguration in January, Kimmel said, "I'm not attacking you."

"You gotta be real careful 'round here," Allen said while the late night host laughed. "You know, you get beat up if you don't believe what everybody believes. This is like '30s Germany. I don't know what happened."

But Goldstein did not find humor in the "Tool Man's" remarks.

"No one in Hollywood today is subjecting you or anyone else to what the Nazis imposed on Jews in the 1930s," Goldstein's statement continued, "the world's most evil program of dehumanization, imprisonment and mass brutality, implemented by an entire national government, as the prelude for the genocide of nearly an entire people. Sorry, Tim, that's just not the same as getting turned down for a movie role. It's time for you to leave your bubble to apologize to the Jewish people and, to be sure, the other peoples also targeted by the Nazis."

The organization also addressed Allen in a statement tweeted Monday that included a screenshot of an alleged antisemitic email asking Goldstein to "quit bullying" Allen and claiming his "kind is as always very sneaky and calculating."

"As for you, Tim Allen, we say this: Look at this email to our organization, reflecting others like it, that's the consequence of your comparing Hollywood with Nazi Germany," the tweeted statement read. "Emails such as this demand our sounding the alarm until you heed it."

Allen's rep has not returned USA TODAY's request for comment.

After Friday's appearance, the actor tweeted about the "great laughs" he and Kimmel shared.
