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

Didn’t he have Lewy Body Dementia? As I understand, depression is a symptom, but the disease is far deeper than that.

He was pretty open about struggling with depression for most of his life.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Shit. I didn’t know that. I always thought the dementia lent to the depression.

Man. What a tragic end. I think I’m going to do a deep dive on his life soon. I have such admiration for him.

I think the dementia diagnosis lead to his suicide but I think his life-long struggles with depression made him relatable enough to be a comedian that could become successful and not lose that relatability, unlike some one like Jerry Seinfeld.

Oh I absolutely agree! Mental health colors art. In all forms. From comedy, to fashion, to traditional art, to music… art seen through the lens of depression is relatable to almost everyone at some point in their life.

It’s the internet, you’re not supposed to agree.

You’re supposed to call me a dumbass and explain in detail why.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

You're a dumbass and I'm certain you're just like your namesake, I have so much more to say were it not for the fact that I'm extremely busy with important stuff!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

Oh yeah? Well you're just like your namesake too! Take that!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure we are all depressed... :)

He throws his friends under the bus

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.

More of a clown every single day tbh

Hes really lost a lot of my respect.

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

[–] [email protected] 73 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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 is also a spineless worm

[–] [email protected] 14 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

How so? I don't know anything about him personally

[–] [email protected] 16 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (18 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 13 hours ago

Ye, but then again the band split because of it. They'll probably reform and make a dumb song about it in the future, but still.

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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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

Yeah same. Before I opened this comment section I've never even heard of a person that dislikes JB.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 15 hours ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 23 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago

The timing was a big factor too, it was like only a day or so after the attempt and while everyone was trying to calm down the situation and condemn the assassination attempt so as not to incite any other people for doing the same or reaction to the attempt, and then he goes and says that, it was very against the grain of the moment.
Bit of a [tragedy+time=comedy] but the time hadnt passed yet so the edge was too sharp
