    I don’t like Jack Black because he was mean to Kyle Glass about his birthday wish. And it was a great birthday wish.

      He was more than mean, he threw Kyle Gass under the bus so he could keep his movie deals and appear more neutral.

      Kyle only said what half the fucking planet was thinking, and even more people feel that same sentiment Kyle expressed today than ever.

      Trump is literally the number one threat to world peace, Kyle expressed a very valid sentiment and Jack bailed on the D to please the MAGA fucking freakshow.

        It’s such a valid sentiment, the most valid sentiment. People come to Me every day and they say “Vi”, they say “that’s a very valid sentiment. And we all agree with it.” Everyone knows it folks, people want Donald Trump dead.

        JB was looking out for his fans.

        He didn’t want some crazy NRA MAGA idiot with guns to come shoot up one of their concerts.

      I don’t like him because he’s cheesy as fuck and people’s obsession with him feels like celebrity worship from the nineties, when everything was saccharine to the gills.

      The only role of his I like is the music video for Blotted Science’s ‘Cretaceous Chasm’.

        i think what ur describing is exactly why it’s so fun for some people to like him,

        he is like the last classic “rock star”, not even, he is like a harmless homage to a time of rock stars that is past

        Not the person you asked.

        Gass made a birthday wish during a concert that the next assassin wouldn’t miss trump back when that dude shot at him during a rally. Black publicly said he would “never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form”. They cancelled their tour and went on temporary hiatus.

        While I disagree with Black, I do understand why he would say that. MAGAs were itching to find someone to shoot at the time. If I were an entertainer I would not want them showing up to my show shooting at my fans.

        The most recent interview with Gass has him saying this: “Somebody called my mom. My poor 95-year-old mom. It hits close to home, and you want to be brave and courageous, but I’m not a congressman. We’re just entertainers. And it just bespeaks the insanity of the times. It feels almost vindictive."

        But both Gass and Black have said they’ll be back as Tenacious D. Black said he loves the D and everybody has to take a break sometimes. Gass said they’ve hashed it out.

        Friends go through shit sometimes. And these two have been friends for like a thousand years. Their friendship just happens to be public and people take sides when they see it happen.

        Edit: took out a sentence that I had in there twice.

        During that night’s concert, Black led the crowd in a rendition of “Happy Birthday,” while their friend, Mike Bray, dressed in a metal robot costume (a bit for the D’s song “The Metal”), held out a cake filled with candles. When Black told Gass to make a wish, Gass quipped, “Don’t miss Trump next time.”

        The line got laughs, and the show moved along. But later that night, as Gass was celebrating in his hotel room, he started to realize his improvised one-liner was stoking political outrage. An array of right-wing media figures lashed out; Elon Musk called Gass’ comments “contemptible.” Charlie Kirk tweeted, “These people are more twisted and vile than we realized,” and an Australian politician even demanded Tenacious D be deported.

        That night, Jack quit the band… but now they’re back together… La la la la
