Jack Black is not and has never been funny, and it's starting to show. amirite?

He's doing family comedy now that he's older and has a family. It's also a lot more profitable than say his work with Tenacious D. It's cool if he's not your cup of tea. He seems like he could get really annoying quickly. I personally have a soft spot for him since loving his work ever since I was like 12 and I'm now 37.

He lost me when he betrayed KG. The kids movies were bad enough. He's the edgy rebel comedian with all the edge of a spoon.

tbh, expected jack freaking black to be an "edgy rebel" is where you went wrong

by Anonymous 4 months ago

Edgy rebel? Edgy maybe early on, but he's got the rebellious streak of like Dane Cook. He's just a goofy guy lol

KG made a mistake. A little distance for a time makes sense. I'm sure it won't last forever.

I mean aside from a few good serious roles he's had like in Peter Jackson's king Kong,none of his movies are really like life-changing to see.in school of rock he kidnappeds a whole 5fifth grade class and is rewarded with a music school at the end

KG wanted him to do that for the bands sake, theyre already reunited and playing again. But don't let that get in the way of your judgements

Kyle betrayed him and then he lied, tried to hide. And he died deep inside, and you know the reason why.

Yeah maybe dude should have been smart enough not to publicly say that he wished Trump had been unalived. I don't care how long you've worked with someone, when that person becomes a liability they have to go

"It's also a lot more profitable than say his work with Tenacious D." Source on this? If so it'd be interesting that School of Rock predicted his life…

But on other hand Tenacious D tours are almost always sold out even in big venues. I think it's not that simple to guess what is more profitable for Jack.

Tenacious D is, was, and always will be amazing. I don't really care what else he's done in his movie career.

by ElectricalFootball 4 months ago

The Tenacious D album was just perfect when it came out, and I wished they would do something more. Maybe it's just me, but by the time Pick of Destiny came out six years later, everything that I had loved about their songs in 2000 was still there, but I just didn't like it anymore. I can still listen to Tribute and love it unironically, but The Metal is a cringefest.

by Serious_Craft6038 4 months ago

Did you like the movie at all? I do agree with you that the first album is a lot funnier than anything proceeding but still has a decent time with the second

Kickapoo, The Metal, Dude I Totally Miss You, and Beezleboss are are classic D songs from that album. The rest are hit or miss.

I've never found him or Tenacious D funny and I like some stupid humor. He just seems loud more than anything, like a theater kid that always needed to be the center of attention. Not my cup of tea.

by Opal76 4 months ago

I don't think it's that he's unfunny. I just think his humor is super early 2000s and feels very dated now

My observation was of Jack Black's inability to adapt. It was not a criticism of brainrot media culture.

Generally I think he's funny. I believe that he is being cast way too often and in films he doesn't exactly fit into now.

I liked some of his acting and protagonist as Eddie Rigs from brütal legend. And he's a pretty great guy. But he's not that funny anymore. Or maybe it's just me.

I don't know if he is just playing a character or if this is what he's like in real life, but if this is just who he is, I cannot even imagine being in a room with him for even one hour.

by shadratke 4 months ago

I don't expect all comedy-centred actors to adjust with the times. That's a pretty rare quality honestly. Jack Black's comedy with Tenacious D, School of Rock, Nacho Libre, and Tropic Thunder is a kind of delivery that is pretty hit or miss for people and similar between them. He was decent in Peter Jackson's King Kong and was the only good part of the Jumanji remake as far as I'm concerned. Killed it as Bowser in the mario movie too imo. I think once he's really easy to misuse as an actor. You know what you're getting with him, so the writing will make it or break it.

Almost every major actor has been doing the same thing for the last 10 years. The rock, Kevin Hart, Ryan Reynolds are really the worst ones. One could argue Keanu Reeves, but he was mainly doing the John Wick series. I didn't because he threw in a Bill and Ted.

I stand by this, but also 99% of comedy in general isn't really all that funny to me. I feel like the human race has been rehashing the same jokes for the last 50 years and it got old before I was even born.

Kind of sounds like Adam Sandler. He was really funny back in the day. But I think he's used up all his humour and it's becoming repetitive.
