I mean do you know for a fact he isn’t depressed? Comedians tend to do a pretty good job covering it up.
Like Robin Williams!
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.
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.
Pretty sure we are all depressed… :)
No we’re not
Give it time. :)
I’m pretty open with my struggles with depression and how I managed to actually overcome them with persistence and treatment. So, no, we’re not.
Won’t be lettin strangers on the internet erase all my hard work.
Good on you man. This is how to be.
I hope you understand it was a joke, and if not, it’s probably good to try and recognize humor to fight real depression. :)
You don’t know he’s not depressed. Remember Robin.
I thought the depression rumor was debunked? Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Robin get a dementia diagnosis, and thus chose to go out on his own terms, rather than slowly rot away?
Half right - he did battle depression his entire life, and he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s not too long before committing suicide. There’s really no way to prove which one influenced his decision more, but it was likely because of both.
Looked up LBD to see what it’s about and…damn… https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lewy-body-dementia/symptoms-causes/syc-20352025
Oof
Depression. People with Lewy body dementia might develop depression.
So he already had depression, and then got a disease that causes depression.
If not dementia, it was a similarly debilitating condition. Wanted to dip on his own terms before he became a husk of himself.
RIP Rob, you were the GOAT.
It was Lewy Body Dementia. He had periods of lucidity and in one of those decided that he no longer wanted to live as a prisoner in his own body, and a burden to his family because for all intents and purposes his life as a functioning human was over.
Honestly his entire circumstance is a shining example of why we need a death with dignity law.
It was Lewy Body Dementia, I remember because my grandma had it. It’s non-hereditary thankfully, but just as debilitating as Alzheimer’s.
Is the d back together again? If not, I don’t want to hear it!
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™) 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.
What joke did KG make?
He said something, as he was making a birthday wish on stage, to the effect of “I hope the next shooter doesn’t miss”. For context it was like 2 days after the first Trump attempted shooting
Thanks, I was quite out of the loop!
Oof
Seriously, everyone knows if you say your wish aloud it won’t come true.
He throws his friends under the bus
More of a clown every single day tbh
Hes really lost a lot of my respect.
TBF, in the free world it’s illegal to joke about the death of dictators, politicians, and extremely dangerous criminals unless you are a politician &/or conservative. Everybody knows that.
He is also a spineless worm
How so? I don’t know anything about him personally
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.
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.
Shot by a Trump supporter?!? At a concert in Australia?!? I think that’s a bit of a stretch, mate.
I think they meant in the future, not in that particular concert lol
…do you think they’ll never leave Australia? Don’t they both live in America?
Why did I read that in an Australian accent?
I must be going troppo!
That’s not their only tour stop or do you expect the two to apply for citizenship? Also, Trump in an international cult leader at this point. Someone could cobble together a zipgun anywhere and sneak it close.
Made comments? He blew out a candle and wished for them not to miss Trump with a bullet. Literally calling for the death of someone else. Wishing death on anyone is a pretty shit thing to do.
I wish Putin nothing but death and misery. I guess, I am a real shitty person.
I wish Trump and Putin could somehow be used to bash each other to death, simultaneously. So, I guess I’m as bad as you.
Was there any psychological benefit to Italians to see Mussolini hang, and spit on his corpse?
I’d say it helped reduce the impression that Italians supported who he was and what he represented.
Misery and death. If he gets death first, he’d miss out on the misery.
Still sad that hitler died on a workplace accident?
I wish for Trump what Trump wishes for his “enemies”.
Nah dog, not when they want and created policy that causes people you love to die.
Yes, that’s what happened. But we’re not talking about Gass, we’re talking about Jack Black and his reaction to that which was cancelling the tour.
Which in my opinoin was a perfectly reasonable response given the recent attempt on Trump’s life, as well as the threats that had already been made about specific Taylor Swift concerts.
I can’t even imagine the amount of death and rape threats that they and their families received after those comments. Imagine leaving for a world tour amidst that.
I guess fuck him for not wanting his fans to get shot up at a concert by some psychopath.
Because of cowards like you. I have to take my shoes off at the airport for zero reason other than to obey.
Except for a literal and admitted wannabe despot who would have made Osama Bin Laden go “hey man, not cool.”

from what i remember he stopped his band because his friend made a trump joke. safe to say he has no feelings at all.
Sounds like he’s got strong feelings about demographics.
About his bank account.
Yeah, safe to say you don’t know why the joke was an issue. It wasn’t a “Trump joke”, it was an “endorsing assasaination” joke.
Yeah, it’s a joke, yeah it was funny to me personally (I might have made the same joke), but you cannot say certain jokes publicly as a public figure.
Trump does.
He made a joke saying he wished the assassination attempt on Trump was successful. I think you’re down playing that by just calling it a joke. I think it’s fine to hate Trump, but as a public figure it’s probably not a great idea to encourage assassination attempts on an ex president.
Get off your high horse. The former president is out there talking about sending the military for anyone who doesn’t agree with their platform.
He has a personal armed guard that’s legally obligated to keep him safe., way more resources to make that happen, and is very likely riddled with brain worms. Not a great meat sack to compare a sane person to.
Assassination attempts against a fascist are fine to joke about. Jack Black has no spine.
If Jack Black was doing anything but a world tour with a fucking comedy rock band it’d be different, but he’ll always be a poser now.
Bro couldn’t even do parody rock right he was clutching pearls so hard.
Too bad the ex president making comments about assassination on various groups he’s against is pretty much ignored these days. But don’t you dare make such a joke about his life not being as valued.
Nah, Trump should be shot at until someone stops missing. And then we keep going for good measure.
Yeah, now say that on a literal stage, with a microphone, in front of thousands, while the whole thing is being recorded.
Oh and you’re famous enough that it would be trivial for a pissed off crazy person with a gun to figure out where you and your children live.
I’m certain the first thing that came to mind wasn’t money.
Yeah, sure, and everyone is entitled to their opinion on this matter, but the fact is, as a public figure, you risk a LOT by saying such a thing.
It wasn’t him that made the joke, it was his bandmate Kyle Gass.
Yes, my comment was about Kyle Gass.
I don’t even care that much about the band stuff. I liked his movies when he was little, and when he started a gaming channel I realized I now find him very annoying. He comes across as full of himself and desperate for attention.
He has a gaming channel?
I think it’s called Jablinski.
Jack Black killed the metal
YOU CANNOT KILL THE METAL
But really, Jack and Kyle said the D will return last I heard
I dunno, that limp spined shit earlier this year (or was it last year now?) kinda killed any love I felt for Jack Black. He became an avatar of the “we need to be better persons and treat the rising fascist movement with the same respect and legitimacy as any other political movement” that the Democrats were following until Harris finally started running a real campaign against Trump.
Ironically enough, his considering ending Tenacious D out loud over that comment killed off the part of me that was upset he’d end Tenacious D over that comment.
Though I am curious if he came to regret speaking out about that and how quickly he got there.
I must be out of the loop did something happen w/ Jack Black?
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
the D is on hold atm
Okay good but what about their band?
I mean that’s fair, you’re not really supposed to joke about killing former presidents, even if it’s in reference to the biggest piece of shit of the 21st century
Yeah same. Before I opened this comment section I’ve never even heard of a person that dislikes JB.
Thanks. I’m with KG here and think JB is just overreacting and trying to prevent any damage to his name.
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 sharpCalling for death, even as a joke, is deplorable. And in Trumps case, dangerous. It’s one thing to make this joke with a couple of friends, it’s entirely another when the entire country sees it - both the crazies that would do it, or the crazies that would shoot them for it.
what about putin? is that different bcus he is foreign? osama bin laden? sounds like you just dont understand the real world king.
Still deplorable. There are more humane ways than a death penalty (which btw most of the civilised world tries to abolish)
A real clown would of had a ‘yes then’ for Glass’s joke
I am Steve
Jack had great parents from what I gather. I don’t think his demons are all that loud.
