You don’t know he’s not depressed. Remember Robin.
Jack Black is what happens when the class clown doesn't become depressed and instead becomes even more of a clown

I thought the depression rumor was debunked? Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Robin get a dementia diagnosis, and thus chose to go out on his own terms, rather than slowly rot away?
finestnothing@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Half right - he did battle depression his entire life, and he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s not too long before committing suicide. There’s really no way to prove which one influenced his decision more, but it was likely because of both.
RinseDrizzle@midwest.social 2 months ago
If not dementia, it was a similarly debilitating condition. Wanted to dip on his own terms before he became a husk of himself.
RIP Rob, you were the GOAT.

I mean if i was kyle gass id tell jack black to go fuck himself. He made a big fit over a simple joke when his whole shtick(before being a literal clown for Disney™) was being an ‘edgy’ comedian who writes songs that are supposed to be offensive.
chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Lots of times when me and KG are watching All the fucking shit that goes down at City Hall We get the feeling we should fuck shit up Yeah, we should fucking start a riot A riot!
And the song continues to tell about the destruction of the government, with the implication that previous leaders are dead. It’s obviously a joke song, and when KG made the joke on stage it should have been taken just the same, but Hollywood Jack stepped in and thought about all of the movie deals he was gonna miss out on… like fucking Minecraft… Yeah. I love Jack, and I wish him the best, but I am on KG’s side, and if they haven’t fixed this shit on a personal level, and Kage comes out with some shit about Jack sucking, I’m gonna wave goodbye to the D.

TBF, in the free world it’s illegal to joke about the death of dictators, politicians, and extremely dangerous criminals unless you are a politician &/or conservative. Everybody knows that.

Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 months ago
People are mad because he denounced Gass when Gass made comments regarding Trump’s would be assassin missing, but security at concerts are trash and it’s reasonable the the both of them could be shit by a Trump supporter.

from what i remember he stopped his band because his friend made a trump joke. safe to say he has no feelings at all.
SparrowRanjitScaur@lemmy.world 2 months ago
He made a joke saying he wished the assassination attempt on Trump was successful. I think you’re down playing that by just calling it a joke. I think it’s fine to hate a Trump, but as public figure it’s probably not a great idea to encourage assassination attempts on an ex president.
beanlink@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Get off your high horse. The former president is out there talking about sending the military for anyone who doesn’t agree with their platform.
Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Assassination attempts against a fascist are fine to joke about. Jack Black has no spine.
Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Too bad rhe ex president making comments about assassination on various groups he’s against is pretty much ignored these days. But don’t you dare make such a joke about his life not being as valued.
King3d@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It wasn’t him that made the joke, it was his bandmate Kyle Gass.
eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Nah, Trump should be shot at until someone stops missing. And then we keep going for good measure.

About his bank account.
Godric@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah, safe to say you don’t know why the joke was an issue. It wasn’t a “Trump joke”, it was an “endorsing assasaination” joke.
Yeah, it’s a joke, yeah it was funny to me personally (I might have made the same joke), but you cannot say certain jokes publicly as a public figure.

I don’t even care that much about the band stuff. I liked his movies when he was little, and when he started a gaming channel I realized I now find him very annoying. He comes across as full of himself and desperate for attention.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 months ago
I mean… He’s an entertainer. I think most entertainers are attention seekers. That’s why they got into it in the first place; for the attention.

I must be out of the loop did something happen w/ Jack Black?
kernelle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Apparently when KG was blowing out his birthday candles on stage they asked him to make a wish, and he said “Don’t miss Trump next time”. JB is working on his clean image and stepped away, I don’t think they have any beef tbh, but the D is on hold atm. source
JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I mean that’s fair, you’re not really supposed to joke about killing former presidents, even if it’s in reference to the biggest piece of shit of the 21st century
Senseless@feddit.org 2 months ago
Yeah same. Before I opened this comment section I’ve never even heard of a person that dislikes JB.

But really, Jack and Kyle said the D will return last I heard
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I dunno, that limp spined shit earlier this year (or was it last year now?) kinda killed any love I felt for Jack Black. He became an avatar of the “we need to be better persons and treat the rising fascist movement with the same respect and legitimacy as any other political movement” that the Democrats were following until Harris finally started running a real campaign against Trump.
Ironically enough, his considering ending Tenacious D out loud over that comment killed off the part of me that was upset he’d end Tenacious D over that comment.
Though I am curious if he came to regret speaking out about that and how quickly he got there.
