Destiny is a joke. Also thanks for the video. It's refreshing to see human compassion overcome political bias. Well stated.
Thanks for the kind words!!!
I am a left-wing progressive. I have always despised Trump and always will, but some of the things i've been seeing people say online the past few days are actually sickening.
I'm always surprised when I see progressives in my comments lol. I would have thought I'd have turned them all away by this point. But very grateful for your presence here 🙏
I consider myself center with leaning more to the right and i absolutely despise anyone yelling WOKE or Insulting left wing people. And i stand up for them. Its time we all become more human and solidair towards common goals. And yes i also despise trump (non american btw). But if Biden was assasinated i would have been equally shocked.
Well I hope maybe what you're seeing puts things into perspective about Trump.
There has been a lot of sickening things said for many years now
@@pixelsheep8939 in what way exactly? He's still Trump.
The problem is that he said "next time" like "try again, please "
I dunno I don’t really like jack black ever since he burned down Pewdiepie’s house.
Unforgivable
What?
What? Pewdiepies house for real?
@DudeWheresMyCardz @lenechenes not for real, it was in Minecraft.
I never like Jack Black period
I'd say the timing of the joke is the biggest issue. If KG said that in a month or so it wouldn't have blown up that much.
Timing definitely amplified the response
Yeah who's to say, optics not great in general
If he had said it a month later, it's less funny. The joke only works immediately after the attempt.
No the biggest issue is that right wingers are hypocrites and snowflakes
@@Vivi_9 You must find it comfy to live in the delusion where you are surrounded by screaming crying snowflake liberals that get triggered by everything, try to cancel everything, but yet in the end you end up calling republicans "snoflwakes", holy delusion dude. Must be nice being so..not present.
I will say, i do believe Jack Black's statement. Yeah one could make the argument that since he laughed at the comment, his statement can come off as disingenuous, but people do laugh when they're nervous, or shocked by what happens, especially if its to relieve the tension. I believe that this is what Jack Black did. After the comment was made, he laughed to ease the tension or maybe because he may have felt nervous.
I hope someone barely (doesn't) miss Kyle Gass. Not goddamn funny when its your family member, now is it ? Joke was not only disgusting and in poor taste, it makes you a traitor. We don't wish assassination of our elected officials, Kyle. We vote. Try it sometime.
I’m a little surprised that Kyle Gass was actually saying that. Because Michael sweet from Stryper recently posted on Instagram that Jack Black was actually appalled at what happened.
Well he is known as Young Nastyman.
From what I remember, Tenacious D already joked about Trump and basically killing him in Post Apocalypto series. Of course it wasn't as controversial back then as it is now
Well a fire fighter died protecting his family .
Why don't you ask his widow and his kids if it is too soon?
💯
the joke in any way wasnt even directed at them dude dont over dramatise
@@laertll1100It doesn’t matter. If that’s how they feel about Trump, his supporters are no different to them.
Why don't you ask John McCain's family if Trump's comments mocking McCain for being captured and tortured repeatedly were "too soon"? Oh wait- we don't have to: McCain's family have repeatedly said that they found the comment disgusting and offensive. And unlike Kyle Gas, Trump has never apologized for his little "joke".
Apparently it's okay for a politician to make an edgy joke about a tragedy but it's not okay for a comedian to do it.
@@homelander7742 REALLY you are heartless they are civilians. how can you make such an ideotic comparison. Mcain insulted him first in the political arena. But that is the way you ideiotic people think. You don't want equal you just want to get even. Childish
I think they will comback after everyone will move-on to the next controversy, and everyone will forget about it
The likely outcome.
Yeah like the Budweiser fiasco. Oh wait...
The EDP / Dr. Disrespect method... Oh wait
@@KeithSpinneyMusic Is every single controversy bound to be career-ending now because the Budweiser thing happened, or what are you trying to say? I'm guessing he meant more like Chris Brown and As I Lay Dying.
@@anibalrodriguez2626 comparing an insensitive inappropriate joke to PDFelia Is crazy
Was it a bad joke that was way too soon? Yes! Should they end the band over it? Hell no! Especially since there are people who have done way worse than tell a bad joke who still have active careers. Looking at you As I Lay Dying.
It wasn’t even a joke they are trying to play it off as one
@@AppalachianMountaineer1863 I agree !
I am glad I was fishing in Montana this weekend and away from the initial social media craze.
I think Kyle and Jack have had a rocky relationship for a little while now. I think this was just a nail in the coffin
Has nothing to do with it. Insurance company cancelled there policy. Canceling the venue.
I’m a republican & Trump supporter. Kyle made a mistake, I’ve made plenty. I hope Tenacious D continues.
D Herr, but I think Kyle went beyond a decency. Time will tell but in my eyes this wasn't ok in any way no matter what party.
Not a partisan in any way, I don't particularly like Trump but imagine the chaos if things went a different direction. The US has enough division as is, and man this'll be a crazy time to look back on
What will happen to the value of an apology if we stop accepting them and we start canceling everyone for a single mistake? Are humans supposed to be perfect and flawless now? Because I think all 8 billion of us would fail such a test. I don't support the joke itself, but I absolutely support Kyle on this one.
Agree..all people make mistakes no one is perfect and then can say sorry if it’s sincere and learn from it.. So many now just won’t accept apologies and judge folks for something they did Or said from years ago and talk about them
To others.. it’s a shame. Forgiveness is a gift given to us. people can grow and change and Should not be judged from their past. It’s Not always easy I get it, but we gotta do better. I believe TD is sorry.. that guy made a mistake.
I will never understand why public figures make apologies when they clearly wanted to say what they wanted to say.
There’s a difference between saying sorry for survival reasons instead of genuinely reasons.
it was just a stupid joke said with the worst timing ever, everyone makes mistakes and then apologises later
I don't believe in too soon. I make DARK jokes the day of tragedies all the time. If he had made the joke later, it would have fallen out of public consciousness and made the joke less funny. The real problem with the joke is that you see so many people who are genuinely pissed that he survived. And, because we know which side of the political spectrum they're on, it makes it harder to distinguish if they're with the others on their side that are unhappy about the result.
It's because as a society we can't pretend to approve of attemptef mass murder
But is it a Dark joke? I know humour is subjective but I can’t see how his comment was a dark joke - I think he was pandering to the crowd, thinking everyone agrees with him. I’m not pro anything political but it really seems like the left thinks everyone should be left and don’t have any acceptance other peoples opinions.
@@ELLEGGEE there was actually a study done about this. Basically people on the left don't understand how people on the right even think. They figure you have to have these right-leaning ideas because you are an -ist of some sort.
Jack Black looks so unbelievably shocked by Kyle’s words. He knew instantly what was to come.
That's not how I interpreted it, but I can see that pov.
“Republicans aren’t the new counter culture, they’re the new Justin Bieber. Biden’s punk rock ad hell, man. You see him pull up in the Camaro wearing jeans and shades? Hell yes. Hashtag Epic” -Jack Black
@@BecomeTheKnight it looks like in the video that Jack is left speechless, it could just be my imagination. But there’s a couple frames where he looks shell shocked.
@@digitalelement That's not how a surprise work. Why would Kyle be a part of planning his own birthday surprise? Certain part of a show can be improvised without a problem.
He does look flabbergasted at the joke, and took him a few secs to let out a nervous laugh
Blessed intro, well said.
A thoughtful and well worded analysis, thank you - its really helped me process all of the madness that is happening right now.
I thought so too
A bunch of conservatives made jokes when Palosi's husband was attacked. And the things they said about Biden and Obama. Trump isn't someone who shine away to make jokes or insult people, regardless of tragedy. It is a problem if they are encouraging the death of innocent civilians and should be criticize for it.
Most of the jokes about the Paul Pelosi stuff weren't about him being beaten, it was mostly gay jokes because Paul Pelosi was apparently in an affair with another guy. Which ig you could say is bad taste but it's not on the same level
@@symptomofsouls Yes it is, they wouldn't care if he died. In fact, they would have kept joking about it or even praising it. Let's not pretend that they wouldn't have done the same thing and maybe even worse if it happened to Biden. Let's not pretend that we actually care about principals and the integrity or whatever.
@@lunavioleta001 most Republicans view Biden as a puppet who can't even change his own diaper, why would they mock his death? It's elder abuse
@@lunavioleta001 you sure are making a lot of assumptions about people you’ve never met
I was a fan and he stepped over the line when he should have said nothing. So Jack can go fail and I won't spend another dime on him and I loved his talent and comedy. I am a retired Army Officer. His apology was bs because he was laughing at Gass at the time.
Thanks for the video. I agree man, I learned about 15 years ago in college that people no longer argued to learn, but to just be combative. Their minds are made up and they close themselves up to new ideas and perspectives. I've lost friendships because we can't seem to get along if we hold opposing viewpoints.
You nailed it with this one. I honestly love the positive energy you bring into this discussion filled with so much hate. I really don't want politics to separate people any further, it's sad to see even if i'm not American. I wish all the best for you and the whole U.S.
I have no idea if he meant it or not, but it was clearly said in a jokingly context. They are a comedy band after all, that´s their brand.
However, considering that just happened the very same day, not to mention it was an actual tragedy considering people did lose their lives, I concede the joke was in poor taste. Not to mention I´m sure they´re aware that they are a big band, people have access to recording shows, and anything can be easily spread across the internet. Kyle probably didn´t take that into consideration.
Nonetheless, the reaction is expected but way too exaggerated, IMO. A bad joke taking down a 30 year old band who has accumulated a massive fanbase would suck. Especially because they´ve done great things over the years. Jack will be fine, hope the same can be said for Kyle. The statements are PR movements for sure.
I guess both liberals and conservatives approve of cancel culture now 🤦♂️ Ricky Gervais would be disappointed
I do not like trump even a little bit, but i would never condone murdering someone just because i dont agree with their ideas
I love jack black, and i do hope they dont disband, but i think canceling the tour was the right move on his part
Thank you for this
Here’s my take; people don’t need to post everything on the internet. It happened in Australia, some of the audience took it as a joke, some got offended……..common occurrence during edgy/too soon jokes (bear in mind they are also comedians and have to think on the spot). I generally think it’s a bad idea to get political in shows, but that’s just me. Before the internet, JB would’ve pulled Kyle aside after the show and said “bro, what were you thinking?” and then they move on with their lives. Nowadays when this is broadcasted to the whole world, situations like this get bigger than they actually are; leading to JB panicking and canceling the tour. JB is getting backlash too for laughing. Yes, he laughed (he’s on stage, the show goes on and you keep smiling), but his body language shows discomfort (imo).
Kyle should have absolutely known better than to make a joke like that in a public venue, especially the day after it happened. Even if they are anti-Trump it is a terrible look to joke that he should have gotten killed. That being said getting dropped by his talent agency and going on indefinite hiatus is such an extreme reaction and shows how terrified people and institutions are of even being associated with someone who said something even mildly offensive, which is also a disheartening thing to see.
Uh.... it was more than "mildly offensive", but he absolutely had the right to say it. And the people who were there or had future tickets to their shows had the right to a refund. And the people who did cancel and were refunded, causing the cancellation of the tour did the most appropriate thing -- with their wallets. So my question to you is, do you think it's "disheartening" for people to request a refund, or "disheartening" for the refund to be granted?
Jack Black initially laughed at the joke then comds out later to say he was blindsided by what was said. Seemingly willing to abandon his friend of how many years over a joke
He for sure was down for the joke until it threatened his dollar.
Disingenuous title. Jack black cancelled the shows. The politician that called for the deportation is a sensationalist nobody.
I’m an Aussie, I wasn’t at the show but we don’t particularly care as much as Americans do that he said it
You never wish ill will towards anyone. I dont care if you are left or ring wing= Respect eachother. Its time we all start to be a bit more human now.
I am disappointed at the state of our country, especially when people have allowed political issues into every aspect of life to the point that we can share culture. Everything is a fucking existential crisis! I have loved Tenacious D, 25 years. Their musical comedy brought me so much joy that I shared with friends. It is piss poor that we have arrived at a point that the things that we share common joy and culture are sacrificed on the altar of politics because people have lost their sense of reason and rationality.
Trump is a threat to my life as s queer person, BUT only if he gains power again. Threarening his life is coming down to his level.
I'm an advocate of bands shutting tf up about their personal politics. Getting political is a terrible business decision
I think jack black handled it wrong, he is still kinda one of my idols, but he could have just said that they would continue due to all of the controversy. But basically he just took a dump on his band member the way he said it. I would have thought they would stick together more, especially since they have been together for so many years.
@Namenloser127 I think Jack and Kyle have had a rocky relationship for the past few years now, but this might just be the worst that Kyle has said. It's not a funny joke 'cause a man almost died because of some idiotic kid thinking he could change things if he took out this president. The left are terrified that this man and his cabinet will actually stand up to China and Russia and is not afraid to make threats on these other power-hungry world leaders.
Dark humor is fine, but sometimes you gotta read the fucking room.
I don't mean the room as in the venue full of non-American fans who you believe to probably agree with you politically, but the room as in general current circumstances.
Jack Black recently came out in public support of the opposing candidate who himself has been criticized for previous statements regarding Trump that could be taken as encouraging political violence. "Threat to democracy", "put him in a bullseye", etc.
Not to mention years and years of media personalities literally comparing him to Hitler, some going so far as to say he should be "taken out".
Kyle's joke would've been just a drop in the ocean of "lmao we should take him out" comments if he did it last year. To do it right after someone actually tried to do it is quite different. Especially when your bandmate just endorsed the other candidate, this is tone deaf as fuck.
I’m so conflicted on how I feel about the response to the shooting as someone more to the right.
On one hand, I am so happy that the left is getting a hefty taste of their own medicine. I’m so sick of cancel culture running rampant for so many years and then once it’s pointed back at them “what happened to free speech?”
On the other, I fear the right is going to run with this way too hard and lose the good will they have been getting ever since Biden fumbled that debate. It feels like we are becoming the monster we fought to destroy for so long.
The right needs to stop their “we are above this” attitude and grow a pair.
_On one hand, I am so happy that the left is getting a hefty taste of their own medicine. I’m so sick of cancel culture running rampant for so many years and then once it’s pointed back at them “what happened to free speech?”_
Then again, it was the right that was always talking about "cancelling bad", and how you shouldn't get offended over a joke, and now they decided to cancel someone over an insenstitive joke... (Of course it isn't the entire right, but this backlash definitely comes mostly from the right.)
I do agree that it is good that people on all sides see the effects of cancel culture, though, and I hope that stuff like this makes people wake up and stop being so sensitive. But the more likely outcome is that most people will think "when it's our guy, then cancelling bad, but when it's their guy, then cancelling good". I mean, that's the way that a lot of people have been operating until now - not sure how this is going to change anything.
@@MaggaraMarineI wince when I see people who I feel I’m aligned with in ideas put forth a faulty or weak argue or conduct themselves inappropriately for our views. I don’t support them in that comment or action. I don’t make excuses. Maybe the core is to determine what is appropriate and right, and then and stand by that regardless of where it comes from. Call out what is not aligned, no matter where it comes from. And like our Stoic philosopher friends say, “I seek truth.”
@@MaggaraMarineIt's the same with a lot of other stuff not only cancel culture. If the other guy does it, its's worst thing in the world. If our guy does it's not as bad because ... and it's so completly different because etc.
I really wish that left and right would stop drifting apart and stop torpedoing whatever the other side says and does.
I also think that it's not good if a candidate is from the left side of the democrates and from the right side of the republicans.
The goal for a president should be to unite and bring the country forward. And not pander to the most extreme 10%. Both parties have some extreme views that the other side will never accept. Sadly these are topics that are used a lot at the moment.
Currently the climate is so heated that 50% of the country hate Trump and 50% hate Biden. For both it will be impossible to be a good leader. No matter what they do. The other side will still hate them. No matter what they do. I also think that both are a poor choice for president. Both are too old. If Biden continuous to age as fast as during his first 4 years as president he won't survive the next two years. With an almost 50:50 split between the people the worst thing to do is to not accept a vote. This could lead to a civil war. This makes the candidate who does not accept the vote a dictator who will prefer to see the country burn instead of a win from the other side. When Trump could not lose he diveded the country like never before and brought it to the brink of a civil war. And he would do it again if he has the slightest chance to upturn the vote. The left has cancel culture and cultural appropriation. You can be sexist or racist and it is good because racism is only bad against certain races. Cultural appropriation says that you cannot do certain things because you have the wrong skin color or are the wrong race.
The right talks about an elite who fabricates evidence in the background and controls the world. And the poor billionaire is the victim and with a heavy heart accepts the money from the plebs to make him richer. He will fight for them until he won't profit enough anymore. With the narrative of the lying elite you never have to lose again. You just say that the results are faked. If scientific evidence proves a different opinion than yours ... --> fake. Opinion gets more important than facts. And people will believe it because it supports their view. Thats so dangerous All those things are in my opinion horrible but ok for one side.
It is time for someone who can bridge the gap between left and right. It could be a moderate democrate or a moderate republican. This candidate would have to compromise with the other party in order to bring the country forward.
It got a bit long. This topic always gets me because I'm so disappointed in both sides.
The right has been this way ever since the word "snowflake" gained popularity
Read between the lines of them deleting thier tweets, they are going to start up the tour again. I think they realize the movie and music biz are on their side. they also have die hard fans who will see their shows anyways. I see some people say the venues cancelled the shows but no one has offered any evidence
How did they think that would fly? How did they think they wouldn't have repercussions for that? As professionals, they should have known that would end their career.
I hope so. His non apology was not convincing considering he was laughing when Kyle said it. Kyle actually apologized, Jack did not. He deserves to be punished for his actions and no one should let him off easy.
Wow look at the cancel snowflake

Does any one action equate to evil? if there is such an action, a joke is not it. There are many far worse contenders for a sole action that would be considered evil. I think the reaction to KGs comment is far over blown and in some ways, given the context, worse than the comment itself.
"Does any one action equate to evil?" Depends on the "action". Oct 7.
Jacks was a non apology at least Kyle is but it took him being dropped by his talent agency. And for both of them to start hurting financially.
Another well articulated video, even your unscripted segment. I honestly hate politics, like many things it brings out the worst in people more so than the likes of music. If people could learn to agree to disagree amicably and not trash each other and be respectful then the world might be just a little better. I wish everyone a nice day in such dire times.
People think Jack went with it for survival because he had no idea what to expect from Kyle, so he just played it cool but that does not mean he agreed with it.
He knew
It's obviously something that was talked about before the show.
that speech at the end was so inspirational.
Most level appreciation of the event i have read. I am not naturally conservative, but I have come to fear the progressives so much i might back anything now which can stop them. I heard one liberal youtuber say that he does not condone violence but hates Trump with every fibre of his being. Is hate not violence?
Im dropping the right and left
And living where the heart, mind, and spine is
Then just vote your wallet, assuming you want your dignity to be intact by not voting yourself other people's money any more than necessary.
“Humor is how we cope with tragedy!” is a weird excuse for when your joke is essentially saying “I wish the tragedy had been worse!”
What’s he coping with? The fact that the terrorist he supports failed to murder somebody?
And no, it’s really not that bold to say you wish someone died right after they got shot. Especially when you’ve spent your life literally hating that person. That’s not good humor. That’s evil.
Love is always the answer. Love you, too, brother ☦︎☦︎☦︎
🎶 All you need is love 🎶
2024 has already been a crazy year, I am no longer surprised at this point.
absolutely love your videos Mike! long time fan fs.
Heard you sing with Dovyados at a bar and loved your voice!
Friends is friends but money is money.
I pretty much agree with your points Mike, but I read JBs response as awkward "you're ruining everything" but played it off straight. The "ehh this guy eh?" part at the end felt strained to me.
My conspiratorial thought is that theyre aging, touring is tough on the body, and JB is trying to be the celebrity and this might have been the end anyway so he dropped KG like a bad habit. It was too fast to mot be sort of planned i think
This was a great video dude, especially from a fan standpoint and only have seen you as a guitar Shredder on RUclips. This is a welcomed change
Man, everything can change in a matter of a few words. 😩
Thanks for putting this message out, Mike. As a Christian it has been heartbreaking to see the discourse lately. Some wishing he was eliminated, and others wanting violent retribution in response to what happened. And also seeing conservatives trying to cancel regular people and getting them fired from their jobs for unhinged comments about the event. On Sunday, my pastor brought up the passage about Jesus saying to pray for and love your enemies and that resonated with me. And it's becoming more evident that hostility isn't and will never bring about any solution. We need to have these conversations in good faith, and I would even recommend face-to-face, so we can all come to an understanding even if we end up disagreeing in the end. Anyway, those are my unedited, off-the-cuff thoughts. Hope that Tenacious D can resume their career. And I hope that I made any sense at all 😂
Thanks for hanging with us, Kevin 🙏
God bless.
Personally, I hope that Trump will take a long hard look at where his antagonistic and aggressive campaigns have led him.... and same goes for the other side, cause they were just as bad at times. The political climate has been so awful for so long that it was only a matter of time before some kind of tragedy like this happened. We can only hope to at least learn from it.
I didn’t like Christian nationalism the second time it was tried - in Germany. Expand your media diet, rube.
@@Yenneffer I don’t think his campaigns are bad, but surely he rambles on way too long and doesn’t have a filter that is needed. This comes from a guy who thinks he is one of the best presidents in history.
I am not a Trump supporter, but I would think twice before wearing THAT Municipal Waste t-shirt in public now.
Extremely good take on the entire situation
If a joke like that happened a couple decades ago it would just be nothing more than a bad joke. No one would be cancelling their tickets. That shows just how loopy people have become about politics.
It’s so simple. The moment you introduce extreme personal politics into your entertainment where it otherwise didn’t, especially when tensions are high? It’s likely you say goodbye to half your audience, sponsors, etc.
All they have to do is stay on brand and keep that shit out of their entertainment. Or at least make it clever, and subversive enough that it’s still digestible.
Great content and well put from you in this sensitive subject, and you delivered it sensible and wise ❤
Thanks man 🙏
Excellent analysis. I don't think the D are done, neither Jack nor Kyle said anything hinting at that being the case. It's pretty obvious they're just wanting to wait for this whole thing to blow over because it absolutely will blow over. Quite frankly, anyone who continues to hold this over their head is beyond sad.
My take: It was just a joke, and Tenacious D has every right to make that joke. Me personally, another “Trump Bad” joke is just boring at this point, same thing with Let’s Go Brandon. Frankly, leave politics out of your act, because every joke that could have been used are now dead horses being beat to smithereens.
What he said pissed me off and I'd defend his right to say it without having his entire career destroyed. They ARE a comedy act and that means something. I'd rather his career fall apart because people refuse to support him; not this way. I'll never understand how we became such crybabies.
Never thought I’d see the end of The D!! Have been a fan since the HBO skits back in late 90’s. What a shame.
Thanks Mike, this is a very helpful channel
I think there was a bit of misplaced "disconnection" - this was done at an Australian show (about as far away from the states as you can get) - with the reach of the internet, there's no "sheltered venue" where something like that can fly under the radar.
"Dude, I totally missed you..."
I just think they should have left any politics out of the band/show, they are not the beattles, they are a mostly comedy band. It wasn't the time or place for a joke like that. And comming from a fan that bought tickets for the next shows, hearing the cancelation because of THIS made me so mad for a bit. That being said, the D will rise again
Great video! Liked hearing your thoughts
I want to make a special announcement to everyone. As the Agent of Kyle Ass and Jack Hack i confirm the rumors. Mr Ass and Mr Hack are in fact " cancelled " may the Swartz be with you.
I never liked Teacious D, they are a shit band. I never liked Jack Black either. Who made him the spokesman for Metal anyway.
As a Trump tolerator, I dont mind the joke although it was way to soon, they apologized correctly, no need to get canceled.
"Trump telerator," that's good. Much more accurate a description for many of us. I'd say I stand with him against the clearly evil entrenched forces in opposition to him, but "Trump supporter" isn't accurate either. Yeah, I'm taking your term with me, thank you.
@@reshpeck "evil forces against him" lmao
Given Jack Black's parallel acting career, with several projects in post-production, it seems likely that the damage to Tenacious D was deemed too much and cancelation was the only viable pathway. If Trump becomes US President again later this year I would be surprised to see Tenacious D being relaunched anytime soon.
Thank you for all the great content bro, you're a good a soul!
The world is concentrating on the wrong problems. Kyle's joke would have been ignored 10 years ago. There are way more important things in this world, but thanks to Twitter, stuff like this gets turned up to eleven.
Stuff like this gets turned up to a 11 because we've witnessed people getting cancelled by the cancel-culture leftists over the stupidest stuff like cracking their knuckles, the OK hand sign and whatnot. They went after a kid wearing his football team's colors as face paint, for God's sake. And they faced near-zero repercussions for this, despite everyone not on the "tolerant left" requesting them to stop as it would eventually lead to what's happening right now.
Also, these people getting "cancelled" over the last 4 days weren't getting fired from their jobs for saying "Trump = bad" or something. They were sorry the would-be assassin missed taking Trump out, and advocating for similar actions. Slightly different from wearing a MAGA hat at work, or 'misgendering' someone at work, or refusing to bake a cake for that matter.
@saishashanka9907 you need to lay off the internet the brainrot is too much for you
whatever. I don't mind jokes like this. Cancel culture gotta cancel tho
It was honestly a really tame joke. Conservatives are so quick to cancel anyone for anything.
Context matters though
Mike slightly off topic but as a Christian, how do you feel about music that uses lyrics that go against Christianity? Stuff like Slayer, Iron Maiden, etc… I know you’re a fan, but does the Christian side of you ever feel like that music brings negative spiritual energy in to your life? I know those bands aren’t actually against Christianity, but still, do you believe there is spiritual energy in music and by listening to it you could bring in the wrong kind of energy? Just wanted to know your opinion on this.
Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden talked about it in an interview. He actually is a christian. Maybe you want to search for that.
Mike, you spoke the truth in this video. Your points were well put and you broke things down very well. I agree with you and your assessment of this situation. Everybody makes mistakes and sometimes, in the heat of the moment, we sometimes say things that we don't mean or say something that is extreme that we do mean.... at that particular moment. I think Kyle's words were bad, it was a big mistake and he recognized that and apologized for it, which is good. I feel a little less confident about Jack's apology though, but I still do appreciate the effort and the actions he has taken and understanding why some fans are upset by the incident. Violence is not cool and should ALWAYS be the last resort. And one thing I have to say is that I find it disgusting that some people on social media are actually upset that Trump is still alive. Wishing harm upon another person and actively trying to bring harm upon another person are both horrible things and should be condmened. Thanks for this video, Mike. Praying for the Trump family, for America and for all of us Americans. One more thing that I gotta say: Just because we disagree on one subject doesn't mean that there aren't one million other subjects in which we would agree on. We don't have to be enemies, we don't have to hate each other, we don't have to have any negative feelings about anyone. We can simply avoid discussing the subjects on which we disagree and still be bros.
Someone once said that comedy is tragedy plus time... But come on Kyle, not enough time has passed for that.
the government totally sucks
HE WAS NOT JOKING THAT'S WHY HE IS PAYING THE PRICE!!!
I hope that the people that are hating on them or "cancelling" aren't the same that call people snowflakes or against cancel culture or the "you can't joke about anything anymore" crowd.
Of course it's the same people lol people with these dumb opinions are the biggest hypocrites
@@Vivi_9Being against Cancel Culture is a dumb opinion?
@@FlashingFireGames In the way that they are against "cancel culture", yes. "Cancelling" people for differences of options, beliefs, philosophies, and actions has been part of humanity since the beginning and will always will be. At least some "cancel culture" today in America is way better than the type of cancel culture we had in the past or the cancel culture of Saudi Arabia for example, though still some of it isn't good. All of these "anti cancel culture" people believe in canceling culture as well, they just don't call it that.
Really good take Mike.
I was two days away from seeing them in Brisbane. I'm so fucking mad dude.
If Kyle doesn't like it in the US exits are to the North and South or East and West if he is a good swimmer.
Kyle is a fully grown adult and should have known that stating your wish outloud means its never going to come true
Any thoughts on Gass taking down his apology?
Happy birthday Kyle you're canceled.
I kinda assume in a few months or years Tenacious D will be back I think this is just a necessary pause to let some of the heat die down.
What about all that talk about “free speech”?
That’s my question.
I smell a LOT of hypocrisy.
Ikr, especially considering the fact that president Trump mocked the attempted assassination of Paul Pelosi. I honestly understand many people’s perspective when it comes to this but the blatant hypocrisy is annoying.
@@ChristopherEverett-mu1pg
THANK YOU.
This is all I’m saying. I refuse to lend an iota of sympathy to the Trump supporters on this one because this is the landscape of politics they pushed for, and on that landscape, what Gass said passes. They can’t be mad when the hose is turned on them without bathing in hypocrisy. 😂
Kyle Gass should NOT be canceled - by their own logic.
Hope he has a lawsuit ready in the cannon if this gets nasty.
Tragedy plus time equals comedy
All I’m saying is, the whole crowd laughed when he said it, they’re a comedy band, the co-frontman of the comedy band made a joke. I just don’t see the big fucking deal. He obviously wasn’t condoning violence. People just take everything so serious nowadays.
