Jack Black is what happens when the class clown doesn't become depressed and instead becomes even more of a clown

I mean do you know for a fact he isn't depressed? Comedians tend to do a pretty good job covering it up.

Like Robin Williams!
- Didn’t he have Lewy Body Dementia? As I understand, depression is a symptom, but the disease is far deeper than that.
Pretty sure we are all depressed... :)
- No we’re not

You don't know he's not depressed. Remember Robin.

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?
- 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.
- 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.

Is the d back together again? If not, I don't want to hear it!

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(tm)) was being an 'edgy' comedian who writes songs that are supposed to be offensive.
- 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.

He throws his friends under the bus

More of a clown every single day tbh

Hes really lost a lot of my respect.

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.

I used to think the same about Robin Williams until he killed himself. 😥

Depression is fucked and some people are really good at hiding behind humor.

Robin Williams killed himself due to early onset dementia from brain disease: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Williams#Death.

He is also a spineless worm

How so? I don't know anything about him personally
- 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 shot by a Trump supporter.

Reese Witherspoon, she's the prom queen
Bill Gates, captain of the chess team
Jack Black, the clown
and Brad Pitt, the quarterback
Seen it all before
(I want my money back)

Life is a Lemon!
- I wanna juice 'em
  All night long
- Reality is a sandwich I did not order!
The whole damn world is just as obsessed with who's the best dressed, and who's having sex!

Supportive upbringing is a helluva drug

Millions of dollars also doesn't hurt.
Successful career doesn't hurt.

from what i remember he stopped his band because his friend made a trump joke. safe to say he has no feelings at all.

Sounds like he's got strong feelings about demographics.
- About his bank account.
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.
- Trump does.
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 Trump, but as a public figure it's probably not a great idea to encourage assassination attempts on an ex president.
- 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.
- Assassination attempts against a fascist are fine to joke about. Jack Black has no spine.
- Too bad the 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.
- Nah, Trump should be shot at until someone stops missing. And then we keep going for good measure.
- It wasn’t him that made the joke, it was his bandmate Kyle Gass.
- I mean, legally yeah, but otherwise it seems pretty good to me
- funny perspective. are you talking about that old douche that does that hitler talk about bad DNA? he should really really be that last person to not insult.

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.

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.

Then again, he could have just grown up that way because he was a child actor.
He has a gaming channel?
- I think it's called Jablinski.

Jack Black killed the metal

YOU CANNOT KILL THE METAL

But really, Jack and Kyle said the D will return last I heard
- 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.

I must be out of the loop did something happen w/ Jack Black?

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
- the D is on hold atm
  
  Okay good but what about their band?
- 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
Yeah same. Before I opened this comment section I've never even heard of a person that dislikes JB.

- Thanks. I'm with KG here and think JB is just overreacting and trying to prevent any damage to his name.

I am Steve

A real clown would of had a 'yes then' for Glass's joke

Jack had great parents from what I gather. I don't think his demons are all that loud.

Andy Dwyer was the Jack black of parks and rec. shame Chris Pratt didn’t embrace that character type. One of my most favourite roles he’s ever done.

I fear for him. I don't want another Robin Williams event

Robin Williams had a chronic disease with a horrible outcome. Guy went out on a high note, all things considered.

Jack Black on Yo Gabba Gabba is legendary.

Because you need to see it again: https://youtu.be/J2tSninyn5Y

Edit: Whoever downvotes Jack Black on Yo Gabba Gabba is my sworn enemy.

Consider me a sworn enemy, then. Can't stand that man.
It would seem I have another sworn enemy to ignore forever.
I see fat face unfunny jack black I downvote.

I... Am Steve!

Jack Black, 18 Charisma Bard

All these but hurt commenters because he condemned calling for political violence.

That's super vague, the police are political violence.
Agreed. Also seems people are keen to cut down tall poppy's. Is slagging off Black in fashion now?
- sure, why not? fuck disney clowns and people who support fascits rhetoric
