Jack had great parents from what I gather. I don't think his demons are all that loud.
Supportive upbringing is a helluva drug
Millions of dollars also doesn't hurt.
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.
I used to think the same about Robin Williams until he killed himself. 😥
Depression is fucked and some people are really good at hiding behind humor.
Robin Williams killed himself due to early onset dementia from brain disease: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Williams#Death.
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.

Seen it all before
(I want my money back)
from what i remember he stopped his band because his friend made a trump joke. safe to say he has no feelings at all.
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.
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(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 throws his friends under the bus
I fear for him. I don't want another Robin Williams event
Robin Williams had a chronic disease with a horrible outcome. Guy went out on a high note, all things considered.
More of a clown every single day tbh
Hes really lost a lot of my respect.
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 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.
