Kyle Gass, true heart of the poster, put the tenacious in tenacious d, Jack Black, true pants of the pisser, put the money in his mouth and his whole ass in front of the camera
To paraphrase a joke seen on Naked Capitalism the other day.
Partisans are in the hills near a pass where Hitler is scheduled to travel through, preparing their rifles for an ambush. They wait, and wait, and wait, but Hitler and his entourage never arrive. One partisan turns to the other and says, "Gee, I hope nothing happened to him."
Me a normal human being: "I think Hitler should have died in the trenches of WWI."
Jack Black, a soulless corpse: "Actually, you're worse then Hitler."
Apparently the Australian government is DEPORTING them over this: which is quite frankly the most absolutely metal, hardcore, and based shit Tenacious D has ever had happen! Jack should have embraced the shit out of this and rode it.
Jack Black is currently working for the Dems so this makes sense in that they wouldn't want his campaigning for Biden to be associated with endorsing the assassination attempt.
It's cringe obviously. But it makes sense in the context that he's literally part of their campaign and that being against it is the party line.
I think it'll blow over after the election and they'll be back together. Purely happening because of the "Rock the Vote" gigs that Jack is part of(cringe warning). With that said the claim that Rock the Vote is "non-partisan" is obviously bollocks.
If you had to choose between a decades-long friendship and creative partnership or being third-billed in another Jumanji sequel, who among us wouldn't slap on that pith helmet and cash that check?
I know hypocrisy mongering is goofy, but 15 years ago Ted Nugent would go on stage and personally promise to shoot Obama. Also, surprisingly, people were still going to see Ted Nugent of all people
Since he appeared at the Biden fundraiser, I bet the biden staffers personally called him and threatened him until he gave in. Not that it would require much threatening.
I gave up on Jack Black when he gaslit me into thinking he was doing arcade game content and it turned out to be an ad for Jumanji. It's a little embarrassing, but that shit hurt me.
I saw them once, it sucked. Everybody else loved it, but it just felt incredibly... mechanical? Had a friend who worked backstage who told me they had a massive clock and whenever they ran off stage they would look at the clock to see how much of the show they had left (and also where in the show they were of course).
Very professional and very very very inpersonal. Doesn't have a whole lot to do with this, but just gotta say I've been disappointed by Jack Black since that concert years ago.
I think (at least partly) it's also cuz he's probably the biggest he's ever been in Hollywood rn with stuff like the Mario movie and doesn't wanna risk it.
I'll probably always like Black, he's made too much good stuff. But if Tenacious D truly dies over this, this is the biggest L of his entire career.
