Jack Black: Tenaciously Awesome

This is a tribute to the most awesome comedian/rocker ever- Jack Black of Tenacious D. Tenacious D is the best band ever. We love Jack Black's movies. Jack's like this generation's John Belushi/Chris Farley. We saw him on the Tyra Banks show with Ben Stiller, they were talking about Tropic Thunder (which by the way was awesome). Jack Black's really really funny. You know, me and my mates went to a Tenacious D concert once. The D performed Tribute, Wonder Boy, F**K her Gently, Kielbasa, Lee, and a couple of songs from the Tenacious D movie. It was like totally awesome. My mother met Jack once at a museum, I think it was an art museum, unfortunately she didn't get his autograph which I am still miffed about. Mom says he came across as a very nice person. He had short hair that day, wore sandals, shorts, and a blue shirt. My mom's sister and niece were there too. There was also this blond dude with Jack at the time, we're not sure who he was but he might have been Owen Wilson.

This is Jables Jr. A plush doll we did of Jack Black. Jables Jr is kind of similar to the Jittery Jack Black Electronic Plush we did. As you can see in this photo, he is not wearing pants- this is simply because he doesn't like wearing them he prefers to run around like crazy with no pants on. He is twice as hyperactive as Jack Black himself and says quite a few amusing JBisms when you squeeze his hand and also makes zany noises like that sound effects man from Police Academy- he also yells "CAFFEINE!" a lot. His favourite drink is coffee and he'll go absolutely crazy for anything caffeine related. Jables Jr also has a friend named Kage, who comes with him. The two of them interact with eachother and sing songs- mainly Tenacious D songs. We did do this really funny video featuring him and Kage and lip sincing the Gaston song from Beauty And The Beast. The toy in the background is a Sweet Talkin Puss In Boots plush from Shrek 3.

This is a character my brother plays when we do role-playing. I play a werejohncandy named Sampson who works as a chef, and my brother plays the villain- a maniacal werejackblack named Ax. My brother is exceptional good at being evil when it comes to this part, heck he even does his own villain song. He does tend to get carried away sometimes, on one ocassion he actually transformed INTO the character and it was quite a traumatic transformation for him too. Luckily during that time I was turned into my character, although my character is more of a gentle giant than a fighter- because our friend Sam Leno/Chinstar plays the hero character (who is a lantern jawed marksman who resembles Gaston from Beauty And The Beast). We have action figures of our role play characters. Also we have a great electronic bust of the character my brother plays, when people walk past it's eyes glow and it cackles insanely like the Crypt Keeper and then says "I AM AX! BOW BEFORE MY AWESOME EVILNESS!", and when an intruder comes by he shouts "HALT! YOU CANNOT ENTER THIS ROOM! FOR IN THIS ROOM IS THE MOST TERRIFYING THING YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE. DO NOT GO ANY FURTHER, IF YOU DO YOU WIL FACE CERTAIN DOOM!" in a hammy manner and then laughs maniacally.

We think it would be funny if Jack Black did covers of some animated villain songs and here are the ones we would love to hear him sing:

• Gaston (Beauty And The Beast)


• The Mob Song (Beauty And The Beast)


• Be Prepared (The Lion King)


• Toxic Love (Ferngully)


• Don't Make Me Laugh (Pebble And The Penguin)


• In The Dark Of The Night (Anastasia)


• Poor Unfortunate Souls (Little Mermaid)


• Don't Fall In Love (Beauty And The Beast Enchanted Christmas)


• Big And Loud (Cats Can't Dance)


• Hellfire (Hunchback Of Notre Dame)

Jack is a good mate of ours too, he voices a character or two in some of our animated shows. In Biker Mice Extreme he voices two characters good guy Plutarkian Mikey Motzerella and Eddie the yeti-like alien from the Planet Rockstaria. He is also the voice of a koala version of himself in Millitary Koalas. We like working with him, it's fun just like it is when we're working with Tim Curry. It's always a blast having these actors doing guest appearances in our cartoon shows. We've got a lot of interesting stories about how much fun we have doing the shows and how much fun the guest stars have. Tim Curry was an absolute blast the first time we had him doing the voice of Morlock in the rock opera episode of Millitary Koalas. We also have a great time working with animators like Andrea Deja (the genius behind such Disney characters as Gaston, Scar, Hercules, Jafar and Lilo). The great thing about Millitary Koalas is that we have such an amazing voice cast including myself and my older bro. The character of Manogator (one of the villains) who is half man half aligator is voiced by a great friend of ours Mr John Kassir (you might know him as the Crypt Keeper from Tales From The Crypt), he uses a slightly gruffer more sinister version of his "Crypt Keeper voice" for the character.
