I'd submit that Po (Kung Fu Panda) is also one of his most iconic roles. He absolutely MADE that character!
Can’t believe it wasn’t there
I think it's because its an animated movie
Oh he definitely is iconic. But it's different when you can't actually see the guy.
YES! I was soooo disappointed that he wasn't mentioned!
This list is garbage without Kung Fu Panda. I mean, he made THREE panda movies plus shorts. There was never another actor who could play the Dragon Warrior.
It's so strange seeing Jack Black just speak calmly for 40 minutes straight lol.
Not exactly calm the whole time, he is very dramatic and a little egotistical but very talented so he pulls it off.
You made me realise that this vid is 40 minutes.... however I will still be watching every second
Probably smoked a massive blunt to clam them pre neve jitters knowing Jack
@@_SYDGAMING_ You don't know him...
@@chand911 we all know that he smokes so it was pretty common knowledge
Hearing him talk so passionately about School of Rock makes me tear up. It was and is such a special film to me as a kid and now! I love that he seems to feel similarly about it
It was written for him so it was just Jack on film.
He overacts
School of Rock is also close to a perfect film.
that movie influenced me to play guitar and devote my life to music, started playing guitar at 13 and at almost the age of 22 I haven't stopped playing
@@jaceyp.8457 Rock on!
Jack Black just seems like he’d be the most down to earth, nicest, carefree person you’d ever meet
He is. I got to meet him at my job (I'm a musician at a restaurant in Key Largo). I got a 5 minute conversation with him. It's bizarre how down to earth he is. I felt like I was talking to my neighbor. Unbelievably cool dude.
@@joetunon lucky guy
@@joetunonI met him fishing I swear to the lord
I hope Jack Black realizes that the Mexican community absolutely loves him for his Nacho Libre role.
We the Latino delegation would like to trade Jorge Masdival for Jack Black
@@solodolo4098 I second this motion.
Very true, literally my family would watch Nacho Libre during holiday parties
@@solodolo4098 es la hora
@Ben Kenobi he's a Paul dude and he is also a trump supporter typical cubans
In about ten years when his beard has gone fully white, Jack Black is gonna be able to play the most kickass Santa Claus of all time
It's gonna be hard to top Kurt Russel in "The Christmas Chronicles"(2018), but I sure would love to see that too.
@@escoladainfamia I hated Kurt Russell as Santa, it was absolutely TERRIBLE to me
SurviveOnPizzaRolls
well you know... that's like... your opinion man
escoladainfamia ya that was an unexpectedly great performance by Kurt Russel, didn’t realize he’d make a Gucci Santa
Best idea ever
I “met” Jack in Charlotte while he was filming Shallow Hal. I was a fan of The D at this point but he was still little known. I went to a hornets game on a weeknight. Quarter ends and I go to get a beer. I’m standing in the long line (yes NBA had long lines back then, and I turn around and he’s standing there. I did a double take and caught his eyes. He recognized that I recognized him. He put his arms up in a TRex pose, hissed at me then glided off to another line.
I would have just about died. He put on a BESPOKE PERFORMANCE, *JUST* for you. Amazing actor, sweetheart guy!
NBA don't have long lines anymore?
Just curious, I'm an NHL guy and know nothing about NBA.
Jack and Kate are still one of the best on-screen couples there is. What an incredible romance put to film.
He had so much charisma! You believed at the end that they worked together as a couple.
Jack Black is the anti-cringe. He can make anything sound exciting and cool.
literally... imagine anyone else doing what he does.. you'd cringe so hard, but he's just so lovable and real... what a blessed human
he is low-key the closest thing to Jesus that humanity has
He makes me cringe SO BAD when he makes those faces.
@@DaniboyBR2 you're in the minority there buddy.
@@junkiejackflash I find it funny, he makes me cringe in a funny way I don't know, like that movie The Room, its so cringy and yet so funny.
This is not a GQ Video...... *THIS IS JUST A TRIBUTE*
Dammit that's what i was gonna say
You gotta believe me
This is not a comment...THIS IS JUST A TRIBUTE
YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME, AND I WISH YOU WERE THERE. ITS JUST A MATTER OF OPINION
Faxxxxxxxx omg
It's really moving to me that Jack uses the present tense when he speaks about Robin Williams and Jumanji. It's a small thing but it feels large in the sense that it's like he's keeping Robin at the table with us, right now, and always. Classy and heart felt.
So true ❤
I love how complimentary Jack Black is. He describes everyone he ever worked with as incredible. This is the kind of attitude that makes him so magnetic, and we need more of it in the world.
Jack Black isn't a national treasure, he's an International treasure.
No. Jack Black is a *universal* treasure.
He was before he got Trump Derangement Syndrome. Now he's full of hate.
Hatred ain't funny.
I'd rather be full of hate than to be full of s**t. Funnily enough, Trump is full of both.
Yes ok
@@hyperionman420 😂 Yet... you guys still cannot produce a candidate that is even a quarter as good for the country, or, even a candidate that is clinically sane for that matter... It IS funny to us! Though, it's also quite sad...
Notice how jack always has something nice to say about anyone he’s worked with or met. And it’s never generic, it’s always a unique quality. You can tell he’s really just a genuine, nice guy.
Bubble
@@JarthenGreenmeadow MMB
It's a dew act. He not fooling anyone.
Amen. Imagine remembering all those costars wow.
But it really not tho ever celebrity does this they don't get blackedbald or whatever. Jack Black always shows his love to music and his band that what makes him special
To any rock/metal fan, The Pick of Destiny truly is an iconic movie. The story and the music is very enjoyable, and it is very relatable for so many people...
It is the greatest and best movie in the world.
Yes, it's incredibly relatable. I too was once given an epic quest by a Dio poster to go forth and form the greatest rock band in the universe. I also had a rock-off with Satan and Sasquatch is my dad.
@@CarlosSpiecyWeenyinfact it's just a tribute
And if you play video games then you should also check out brutal legend, it’s a game about metal culture set in a fantasy world, Jack black is the voice of the main character, there’s also characters voice acted by iconic metal artists like Lemmy kilmister, Ozzy Osborn and Rob Halford.
Can we talk about how positive JB is about all the directors and cast mates he worked with? He’s such a positive human being.
When Jack talks about nacho libre you can hear him resisting the urge to let the nacho voice break out
Seriously
ENCARNACIOH HO HO HO HOHEO
I jus said it
GET DAT CORN OUTTA MA FAAAAACE
Yessss
Dude, School of rock literally inspired a generation. Jack deserves to be proud
It literally was THE movie that made me want to start playing music when I was a kid
That movie gives me nostalgia like no other
So did your mom!! 🔥🔥
his best movie by far. I liked the fact the used real child musicians and not just idiot stand-ins.
Oh for sure! There was once a time long ago when I literally watched it every single day 🤣 it never got old, it’s still not old lol
It’s crazy the legacy that Jack Black is leaving. My mom loved him in High Fidelity and Shallow Hal, High Fidelity is still her favorite movie ever. I’m obsessed with School of Rock and Tenacious D, I’ve seen The D live 4 times. My daughter watched the Mario movie and has been singing Peaches and talking about Bowser for a month nonstop, even while I was watching this she recognized his voice and said “is that bowser??” He truly has something for everyone and I’m so grateful for him.
Honestly still hoping for the long awaited Tenacious D movie sequel. We've had the insanity that is their animated special, I want to see what they can do on big screen.
YESSSS!!!!!
post apocalypicto is out
School of Rock made me pick up the guitar at age 13. I've been playing for 14 years now. Thank you, Jack Black, for helping me discover the world of making music. I owe it all to you.
Right right right, Do you Djent though?
@@freezingjazzy I have 0000000 interest in djenting. *wink*
I have the exact same story. Thank you School of Rock
Same here! I’ve been playing the guitar for over 10+ years now and School of Rock was the reason I started. Seeing the kids rock out made me think “Why can’t I?” Have to give thanks to the cast and crew for making a truly awesome movie that definitely melted some faces 🤟🏼
👍
Guys how is no one pissed that Kung Fu Panda wasn’t included in this video
I just stopped watching because of this comment. Lol. Was waiting for him to talk about it.
Skadoosh
.. and he carries the essence of that character.. the success of that entire series. agreed
I literally watched this video just for Kung Fu Panda. Pretty fcking disappointed
I agree that he IS that character, but I’m not super surprised that it’s not included. Since it’s an animated movie I wouldn’t be surprised if doesn’t connect with them as much as his other roles. If that makes any sense
Nacho Libre as a film has set the tone for my way of living. Each and every scene has transformed my perception of what truly matters in life. To epitomize the significance Nacho Libre has had in my life is unprecedented. I love this film. yes
Jack Black inspired a generation of kids to pick up an instrument with school of rock. My childhood friend and I wanted to start a band because of it, and I've been playing bass ever since.
As an avid listener of rock and roll, School of Rock isn’t just a great comedy. It’s a love letter to an entire genre of music. I think that’s why it will always be a classic.
A tribute!
i love this
And it's got a baller sound track
There's some magical about that whole movie. Everyone rockin out having a good time with one of the best tributes to rock n roll ever.
Agreed. That impassioned speech he gives about the history of rock is so something I would do
Really awesome how this guy doesn’t talk about his characters as much as he talks about all the people he worked with and how much he likes them. Class act of a guy
Plus all his characters are basically the same, so there isn't much to say about them.
@@RatatRatR Not really dude
Same thing Mike Myers did on his episode in this series. He said he was spoiled early on in some of his movies by working with great choreographers and prop makers. He and Jack both seem like genuinely nice guys. I'm sure they both have skeletons like everyone else, but they seem to at least try and not make everything about themselves.
ETA: The Mike Myers thing was a Vanity Fair series. Not GQ. My bad.
It's their job. Imagine their careers if they didn't do that. What you are seeing is what they are selling. Not saying they are good or bad, I'm just saying that you are literally paying them for being good. So at least he is good at his job ;) Just think critically mate
Watch Jonah Hill interview
Tenacious D pick of Destiny is one of the best comedic musical films of all time, it’s avant-garde, super fun, and the music is just amazing. I understand a lot of people don’t like it because it is campy but once you understand that, it’s like a psychedelic experience. So good
Loved Nacho Libre, still quote it to this day also his song to Ramseys, Iconic. I didn't know Nacho's backstory was Swedish and Mexican I was impressed at how well JB played Nacho. It was funny, believable and not insulting. He stays invited to the Carne Asada.
But Ramses is not dancing, he does not dance at the partyyyyy
School of Rock is still the best movie he's ever made, that role was made for him.... Literally
The pick of destiny was literally made about his real life band tenacious D...lol... but yes shook of rock was made for him in every way. If you haven’t seen the pick of destiny go watch it it’s hilarious...
Ignacio disagrees with you
House on fire!!!!!!!#!!!
Pick of Destiny is literally made for him and his band, but School of Rock is definitely more popular and a close sedon.
I agree soooooo good
Nacho Libre is criminally underrated. One of my favourite comedies of all time.
Who?
NaCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo.....
I was wondering if you would like to join me in my quarters this night . . . for some toast.
@@eienvineGood toast.
I Watch it every few weeks 🙂 always cheers me up
His character in Orange County was absolutely hilarious. Him trying to explain the fire gets me crying every single time.
Dude absolutely! Lance is probly my favorite character Jack Black ever played! “She said I’m gonna burn this mother down! I said u better not” 😂😂
And now we have *The King of the Koopas* on his most iconic characters list. I'm so glad Jack gave Bowser a meaning, depth and energy to his character as a villain than his game counterpart. He really put his heart and soul into him.
Oh and let's not forget his beautiful hit love song: 🍑
school of rock does feel totally grounded like he describes. Hands down one of the most rewatchable movies ever made, will never skip watching it again, such a joyful piece of art.
Yes!! And I was totally pissed when I realized it was no longer in my dvd case.
It's free on RUclips now
@@MrGrimfacade about to look RIGHT NOW
Absolutely. I first watched it back when I was in elementary school, now im 28 and just watched it again last month. And yes it's still just as good as when I was a kid.
@@maatirah6530 Sorry, your license expired.
As a proud Mexican American, Jack Black can play all the “spicy” characters he wants and I’ll watch it a million times
Agreed. He's one of the rare actors who respects his non-white characters, making them funny without being a racist caricature. As opposed to, say, Rob Schneider.
Same. He gets a pass lol
totally agree, nacho libre is a classic and i think every Mexican kid LOVED it...
@@RabblesTheBinx As a white American I find his fake mexican accent to be pretty convincing
Me too, and I agree...
Such a charismatic guy! How can anyone not like his energy?
As a kid, School of Rock changed my music taste by a lot! I learned to love rock bands, and it really stuck to me that this is such a cool face-melting genre.
I think School of Rock might actually be legitimately the best Jack Black movie.
Totally agree it’s his best movie. Also one of the best movies period.
I’ve watched it countless times. It never gets old.
Nieru but Year One tho💀💀
@@alessiablanch5704 what about it? That movie wasn't even good enough for me to remember it existed.
Debatable, I mean the pick of destiny is way better
Jack Black is like Robin Williams to me. The guy embodied every role he was ever in, made it his own, had so much fun with it, and was himself. I feel like Jack Black is always humble and always striving to pull the best out of his characters.
Robin was also a gamer! RIP 🙏
Would you say he's a somewhat like... Idk.... Robin Incarnate?
I've always said jack black is the Robin Williams of my generation lol. Love him sm
he definitively is a one-of-a-kind character and I would love to drink a beer with him
@@kingkazma3246he named his daughter Zelda 😔
I had forgotten just how many movies Mr Black has now been in.He’s such an enigma there will never be another Jack Black that’s for sure
Jack Black is a legend capable of tapping into every human emotion. His talents/gifts=immeasurable. ❤
Really great interview, although I can't fathom why Kung Fu Panda wasn't discussed. It's a huge part of his legacy.
If Ian McShane ever does one of these videos, they'd better have him screen Kung Fu Panda, or I'm going to flip the table. Tai Lung is an amazing character, and it's one of the few times Ian gets to turn things up to 11.
And Brutal Legend too!
Im assuming theyre strictly doing physical roles in these interviews. Love Kung Fu Panda tho lol
Or Brutal Legend 🎸
yea wtf!!!!!!
Never seen him emotional. He was almost gonna cry talking about school of rock. I don't know how I feel about that.
He just seems like a really good person. You could tell the film and kids meant a lot to him.
haileybrae95 He was touched by those kids, and he’s pretty sure he touched them.
@@buckleygeneration *horrified faces*
"OH MY GOD!!!"
😂👏
@@buckleygeneration Hahahaha
Well I feel really good about it. Shows me a lot. School of Rock really is something Special.
I enjoyed watching this and reading the comments.
School of Rock was a huge part of my childhood and set me up for a lifetime full of loving music
Thank you Mr. Black
School of Rock is the most inclusive movie. It perfectly shows how it's ok to be different, no matter how old you are, and how important this is to make the world a better place. This is a untemporal masterpiece.
I love how he talked about Robin Williams in the present, not he “was” but he “is”.
I caught that, too. I suspect that...while Jack Black's career hasn't been nearly as prolific as Robin Williams...the life in his characters will, for years after he's gone, inspire that same sense.
@@OmniphonProductions I think one day Jack Black will be a Robin Williams. You cant compare anyone to Robin but Jack has that same energy
@@daggersquadops1148 I only worry that, because many of his iconic characters have a similar energy, people will see...for instance...High Fidelity, Orange County, and School of Rock, and incorrectly conclude that he's a bit of a one-trick pony (even as impressive as he is in those roles). Of course, if they're fortunate enough to see him in Bernie or even that _single_ episode of X-Files he did (with Giovanni Ribisi), it begins to become clear that...much like Robin Williams..there's much more to him than just varying degrees of spasmodic intensity. I mean, one doesn't rack up 154 acting credits by simply playing oneself...unless one is Tommy Lee Jones, Sam Elliott, or one of _those_ iconic personalities.
I noticed that too. I’m gonna start doing the same when talking about the deceased, it’s a small but significant detail
he's alive in everyone impacted by his life! legends never die
I'm surprised by how soft-spoken Jack Black is for being such an iconic ball of hilarious energy. I love that he gives credit to his cast and directors, writers, etc. He seems real down to earth.
no fr, and him ramping up about the buffalo scene made me crack up, bro seems so fun to hang with
Pisces moon in him lmao
@@bleachneechno…..
@@calebday6988 LMAO
That's because he's the GOAT 🐐
It is SO wholesome that his favorite is School of Rock, that movie has such a special place in my heart! It truly felt like Jack's heart and soul was in that movie, love that it's true!
Such a fun dad kinda guy. Love this interview. There's this nice balance between seriousness, and a flicker of his fun side. 🥰
I miss the Jack Black era, so underrated. He’s such a down to earth, kind, and cool guy. Just awesome and hilarious
He still exists.

I went to see Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny at the cinema twice when it released, and then bought the DVD as well as a set of POD guitar picks.

That "fat slob" has accomplished more than you ever will, mate.
School of Rock is one of both me and my brother’s all time favs. I can easily recite that movie I’ve seen it so many times and will make sure my children know what a masterpiece it is. Jack Black is such a cinematic gem and I’m glad he cherishes that movie so much I’m honored to have had it growing up
Now I want to see Jack Black do a one shot on critical role just to see how much energy can be done between him and Sam Reigel. Just the sheer energy they both have would be amazing to see how it would react.
Honestly just the two of them doing an ad together would be chaos
Have every right to be that proud of School of Rock. Saw it at 10 and can watch it now 20 years later and still smile, laugh, and rock out. Great film Jack!
It's literally my favorite movie
@@Tee256 same like I watched w my dad when I was in like 3rd grade and it’s still my favorite.
That was the movie that made me want to be a musician.
I can honestly say that's one movie that made me who I am today... You hear about all these kids in the '50s who were inspired to take up music and form bands after seeing the film Rock Around the Clock, I feel like School of Rock was our generation's equivalent.
@@teleplayer605 Was it Rock Around The Clock or Blackboard Jungle? I only ask cuz I hear the latter cited more than the former.
Not many long videos keep me tuned in and captivated on RUclips - loved every minute because Jack Black is just the greatest greatest of people to watch on screen and we all get to enjoy him! He’s is a treasure!! ❤
Was kind of disappointed Po wasn’t there but I also think Jack Black might have extended himself and he has so many iconic roles it’s probably hard to talk about them all in such a short timeframe. Some of the stories of his experiences were genuinely pretty fun and he sounded like he had a blast working on all of these flicks ans he enjoys entertaining us audiences.
I've literally never disliked a single movie that Jack Black has starred in or played a part in.. the dude is comedic gold
Even King kong?
Connor Amlee that’s a good movie
Even "I still know what you did last summer"?
ian gonzalez oh yeah not that :(
Even Gulliver’s Travels??
Nacho Libre is really underrated. It's amazing, funny, and well made. Also when you know it's loosely based on the story of Fray Tormenta ("Friar Storm", a.k.a. Rev. Sergio Gutiérrez Benítez), a real-life Mexican Catholic priest who had a 23-year career as a masked luchador and competed in order to support the orphanage he directed, you will definitely appreciate it.
Didn’t know that.
Interesting.
Thanks.

My favorite Jack Black movie but woooow, very interesting fact, thank you for sharing that! 🙏
You are so right! And it warms my heart there are more out there who feels the same!
yoooo thats dope
Such a funny movie. School of Rock #1, Nacho Libre #2
One of his biggest roles, in The Office, deserved time in this clip. 😅
King Kong 2005 was an incredible epic film. He was pretty memorable in it.
He did Robert Armstrong’s original character justice.
@@rickyrackey7930
The original was one of my favorite films growing up but this surpassed it.
Sad there was no discussion of Year One, Kung Fu Panda, or his incredibly compelling performance in Bernie. Still a great watch, love Jack Black.

School of Rock is one of the best movies ever made. The perfect casting, great music, joyous ending.
Agree. The scene when he put one of the students/girl as the band manager instead of a groupie was hilarious. Awesome music!
One of the best movies ever made? You must have missed about a thousand others.
@@GeorgeFlippin Nah they’re right lol
That's a bit of a stretch. It's a good movie though.
Such a classic.
Tropic Thunder is just PERFECT. One of my favorite movies. And the Brazilian dub is also perfect. Jack is one of a kind. I could say that to the whole crew.
Loved Jack Black’s performance in Bernie, love how he even interviewed the actual guy for it too.
He could've talked about nacho libre and School of Rock for 4 hours and I would've watched.
Jack Black seems so simultaneously high and low energy in this interview
JACK Tenacious D in the POD was a formative film for me and my siblings. We watched it on repeat growing up. I'm sorry more people didn't see it in theaters, but I hope you know you brought so much joy to us.
Surprised R.L. Stein didn't make this list because the first Goosebumps movie was really good.
Jack Black and Leonardo DiCaprio look like half brothers
Thought you were crazy, but the more I looked, u rite
It's their eyes
I see it
They have wide head syndrome. Each year adds a quarter inch to the circumference.
Russell Crowe too
He seems genuinely appreciative of every roll he's earned. Even if it wasn't a blockbuster success. He loves to act and make people laugh.
He should be. Never been in a bad movie
The Never Ending Story 3 is terrible. Only worth watching for Jack Black.
I've literally never seen Jack Black this chill and calm and it's almost jarring.
I know jack won't see this but I just gotta say, of everything he has done, pick of destiny is the one this that I always come back to. I've watched it so many times over the years and shown it to so many friends. It's truly a masterpiece and I absolutely adore it, so thanks Jack.

I needed this video more than I knew I did. Thank you GQ for giving us 40 mins of jack black. Easily one of the top 10 underrated actors.
Jack black's character in the holiday was my favorite out of that entire movie
This made me realize how much of my childhood is Jack Black.
I grew up watching the first two kung fu panda movies, king kong, school of rock and when i was 11-14 i watch tropic thunder & orange county at least every day😂. I love him, now i am 18 and I discovered too late excellent movies like goosebumps, high fidelity & the holiday. Jack black is such a piece of my childhoold
the guy is not even black, he is a big fraud
him saying School of Rock was by far his favorite thing to do just made my life....because it's the movie that made me love him
I could watch it over and over again and not get tired of it
sucks for you Jack Black was loveable way before that kids movie
He was also in “The Cable Guy”
this man is my favorite actor, musician and just overall celebrity I grew up with this man on my screen he will always hold a special place in my heart and I love seeing every movie he is in.
i feel like jack black just talks about whatever comes to his mind immediately when asked about any subject
And is so genuine and kind
@Corby Dinsburger No? almost noone you meet will tell you exactly what's on their mind. It's so rare to come across and that's why it's endearing. All those people who say (like yourself) that's just what normal people do are the most guilty of not saying what they think.

I love this man! The school of rock and nacho libre, and kung fu panda are some of my favorites! I really hope he does more voiceover films because he has such a dynamic voice. He’s so enthusiastic, and so humble. A National treasure, protect him at all costs!
I absolutely love Jack Black. He seems so down to earth and would be a blast to hang out with. Orange County is just hysterical, he made that movie!
He literally cant talk without doing character voices.
He's reached a state where he's making his own character like a persona in a movie or video game, that's my theory. It explains why he is almost like a living meme, like his own personality is just another role.
The Jimmy Page voice was funny
I can only imagine a Panda this entire interview
@@JoyfulUniter Totally. Even if you look back to his earlier years of being famous, he had a tendency to break into voices but it was usually always the same one, like the "shedding some tasty riffs" excited 80s metal fan parody. But yeah now its totally taken over.
Can we agree that jack black is a legend
Absolutely!
A Brutal Legend.
yes
I’ve agreed ever since his movie came out in 2006.
Yes!
this man was such a pivotal part of my childhood. seeing him just immediately warms my heart
12:00 so true though. School of Rock really is an incredible movie. Every part of it is done perfectly
Hearing him talk about School of Rock is absolutely magical. Such a perfect, wonderful movie and all the love that was poured into it is amazing to see
I love that he didn’t discourage any kid he let them pick their roles and let them shine ✨
I really wish he had spoken about working with the kids. His connection with them was amazing. That's the most special part of the movie for me.
R.i.P to the kid who played the drums got runned over by a car
Jesus loves y’all! God bless y’all! “Jesus is the way, and the truth, and the life.” John 14:6.’””
@@nevermindmyname813 I really wish we got to know more about his dynamic with Miranda Cosgrove. Eh, we can't win em' all.
That Tropic Thunder story is the best thing I've ever heard.
Ross Keniston I loved it
31:30 his re-enactment of the jeep ride is cracking me up
Plot twist, he got the water buffalo pregnant
I long to meet
Jack “Water Buffalo” Black.
And Jack Black 😂
Hearing Jack talk about School of Rock the way he does really makes me appreciate how much I loved that movie when I first saw it as a kid
His Tropic Thunder Water Buffalo story had me in stitches! He's got an effortlessly funny charm to him. It's not overbearing, it's natural and so endearing.
Any time I say “don’t judge me” I say, “DON’T JUDGE MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!”
he reverse zuesed the buffalo
He's got to make it funny, sadly, since that's the only way we'll be able to experience that moment 😢
Thr Pick Of Destiny is a *_criminally_* underrated movie.
I was a teenage fan of Tenacious D but we all pirated it that's why no one went 🤣 limewire boiiiii
FACTS
top 3 comedy movie for me no doubt
It's simply the most hilarious movie I've seen in my entire life.
Yea, watched this movie when I was like 7 years old on a burned dvd my dad made. I watched that movie on a daily basis. To this day, I love it. When dio says, "now go and ROCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!" and the rock off always give me the chills lol
School of Rock will always be in my top movie list, I watched it during a very formative time of my life and now as an adult I can go back and watch it anytime and enjoy every second.
I still listen to tenacious D when I workout.
Jack is an absolute treasure, we don’t deserve this man
school of rock was made for jack black and the other way around
