It took me a minute to realize that little emoji wasn't just a stain on his shirt, because honestly it fits.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I thought it was a button to make him say "I AM STEVE"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Pressing the mustard stain on Steve's shirt to hear him say "Chicken Jockey" would be peak.

We need low interest rates and skyrocketing asset prices so that people pay 2% more to buy this next year. Consumption must go up so that people have worthless jobs producing trash that our politicians call economic growth, as people applaud their stocks rising.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be buying one at the first opportunity.

My other action figures are going to have to stand in the shadow of the glory of "it's just Jack Black, I guess".

(No sarcasm. I'm really going to buy this. I love the idea of Jack Black just playing "Jack Black".)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Jack Black was mean to his friend just because his friend didn't like Trump

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (7 children)

It's more "Jack Black is a coward and a poser" than being mean imo

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

More like "Jack Black, a man with $50 million, is a greedy pig and is only worried about getting more of that 'family friendly' money."

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I think that counts under poser but also true

If it's like that:: They should've decided their public stance on the tour bus and not jeopardized their career.

If it ain't like that:: They should've decided their public stance on the tour bus and been as vocal as possible.

KG's outrage is less his fault than a fault in their planning as public figures.

Is Jack Black a sellout phony piece of shit?

Would you wear a "Fuck Trump" shirt to work tomorrow?

Why not, you phony!?

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

I would wear that shirt at work if my job was a musician yes

~~Calling~~Wishing for the assassination of a political figure (especially one who is currently the sitting president, tho iirc, he was a candidate at the time) is pretty widely viewed as a red line and is very dangerous ground to tread for an American public figure, which he is.

Im pretty sure any "mean" thing he did is between him and Gaas, who has said they remain friends and will tour again as the D. Sounds like he is forgiven for anything you may have perceived as "mean." It seems like that should satisfy anyone with genuine concerns about his friend.

Or are you just canceling anyone whose rhetoric you view as insufficiently hateful towards Trump? (Dont answer that, it was rhetorical.)

edit: forgot it was a "wish"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just gonna leave here that Trump is directly responsible for a million of excess COVID deaths. But he was president so that was completely fine, right?

"His friend didn't like Trump" is a little different to his friend publically endorsing an assassination attempt on their president.

Anyone who was aghast that 'OMG Tenacious D broke up' is no fan - they break up on every album, literally every show - it's a bit. Jack Black is no fan of Trump, he's publically stated the entire Apocalypto album was a response to Trump's 2016 win. He hates his guts.

That's very different to advocating for political assassination on stage.

The smart response was to back away from the situation, distance himself from KG, Kg to issue an apology, let it cool off - and then come back later. And would you look at that - so far that's exactly what's been done.

There's a growing popularity for the Divorced Dad's trading card game here in the states. My local game shop hosts the occasional game night for it.

I think they went too realistic, maybe they could have taken some liberty with his figure. Not fat shaming because I have the same figure but I wouldn't want a doll of myself either.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago

He's not that round, they took liberties to make him less realistic and more cartoony

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Should have made him fatter if anything

[off topic]

Back before "Better Call Saul" was launched, I was in a comic store. They had Breaking Bad action figures. I asked the clerk if a lot of kids were buying the Saul Goodman doll.

I learned that Saul was actually a good seller; there were plenty of real life lawyers who brought him.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Would you trust a lawyer with a Saul Goodman sitting on their desk?

Lord knows I would

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That lawyer would do anything for a client.

Personally I look for the Saul Goodman doll before the degree on the wall.

Honestly though this is such a funny toy might buy it for posterity

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I considered it until I saw the price was $100

With cock and ball torture codpiece action!

Jack Black needs to be contained after learning how to do cock pushups while filming Tenacious D

Don't forget that Power Slide and other techniques that were developed in hell

Now I'm wondering how many versions of Jack Black based action figures are out there

This is an action figure. So this is literally, figuratively Jack Black.
