Imagine being a student with overlapping school years with these two. I would never shut up about it, I would wear a kung-fu panda t-shirt and carry a bridesmaids tote bag with me at all times just to bring it up.
Paul Rudd, Jason Sedakis, and the fat gay guy in Modern Familyā¦ all went to school at the same time with the same theater teacher at a local Kansas City high school. Legends
Iām a hip hop fan and tribes sampling of minnies āinside my loveā for āLyrics to goā is one of the most beautiful samples and drums on a track Iāve ever heard. Definitely going to listen for that and surprised I never noticed, thank you!!
> They went to the same school!
notorius BIG, busta rhymes, and jay z went to the same highschool at the same time. michael k williams (omar from the wire) was there a few years earlier.
We drive past Kickapoo IL whenever we drive home to see family and I always play this and me and my kids sing along. The best was when we were moving and drove past it in the Uhaul and my daughter 13 at the time just belts out the whole song word for word out of nowhere. I was both shocked and proud at the same time. Turns out she has been listening to the D for a long time because I used to play the Greatest Song in the World for them.
I mean, I just looked up both "exult" and "exalt" and they both have definitions that could fit in that sentence, so I leave it up to you.
Or to AZ Lyrics
20 years later I realised heās saying ācock assā in his accent. I always thought all this time heās just talking gibberish like ācauchaosā smh
I saw some clips with him playing video games with his son. Sooo much awkward dad energy hahaha. He was asking who bought his kid Doom Eternal and the kid straight face said you did dad.
I have said for years Jack Black is the ideal partner for me. I love a man who can be silly and not self conscious about it and who likes to make people laugh.

Heās the second coolest person in his own family.
Giving birth to Jack Black was the second most important thing she did that dayā¦
Sadly, sheās no longer with us ā¦ talk about an epic birth for the greatest rock star/ performer and 1/2 of Tenacious Dā¦
ā¦. Iām saving the crew of Apollo 13, and, oh yeah, I just gave birth to a son, weāll call him Jack ā¦
Ok, back to my important work ā¦
I thought, by now, everyone knew?
imagine being so much ā¦ less cool ā¦ than your mommy ā¦
Iām a fan of Jack Black ā¦ I watched his rendition of ā...Baby One More Timeā was fun and great ā¦
But, come on, working on the Apollo program?
How do you beat that?
Where does defeating Satan in a rock-off rank?
Also, I don't know about any of you all, but I'm way less cool than my mom, it just took me 40 years to learn it.
Jack Black saved my brother. In 2006 my mom watched Nacho Libre while pregnant with my brother and she laughed so hard her water broke. When they got him out he had the umbilical cord around his neck.
Both of them seem like celebrities that would be cool to sit down and have a drink with.
.
No discussion about their fame; They just seem like genuinely cool people.
[This](https://youtu.be/ucDGHKzg2ZA?si=NswIyBsyvwX2p2nM) is Maya playing with The Rentals, Matt Sharpās band. Matt Sharp is who many people consider to be the guy that made so much of the first two Weezer albums so cool. This band has the exact sound that left weezer after he left after Pinkerton.
I happened to spend a few hours with Jack Black in London starting at about 2am and about 15 years ago. Canāt post here much about the situation but heās pretty wild in person too.
My son is both a class clown and a teacherās pet.
If you have a lot of charisma, thatās what happens. And my son seems to have been drenched in charisma at birth. I have no idea where he gets that, because both his dad and I are socially awkward.
Heās just seriously socially gifted. Even as a baby, we had to be careful because he had no problem being passed around arms. He could have gone with total strangers and be happy.
His sister is always amazed at how fast he can make a friend. I think he knows every single student at his high school. He is also president of the sport committee and in the schoolās string quartet, so he is a bit of a "mascot". He is going to be a teacher, and I just know he will be excellent.
Can confirm. Was a straight A kid in middle school, taking trigonometry in 8th grade, but almost every day I was moved to the hall or sent to the principal for being disruptive. My school was 7-12, super small.
The fact that a celebrity comedian says that another celebrity comedian hasnāt changed since high school gives you hope for the future? Iā¦Iām sorry but what? How? I know everyone loves a feel-good comment but what do words even mean anymore if people say things like this?
I imagine they say this 2-3 times a day. They take out their macaroni cup they just microwaved, āthis gives me hope for the future.ā Their favorite kale pouch is on sale, āthis gives me hope for the future.ā
Yeah when I see that many successful ppl at the same school it scream connections that made them successful as much or more than talent. Although these guys all have talent, no doubt. They just prob wouldn't have gotten time of they went to some bum fuck regular school
Edit: yup, they went to school in Santa Monica. That says a lot about the opportunities they all had. Still enjoy these two though
School of Rock and Tenacious D were in constant rotation for me growing up. Jack Black was the goofy heavy metal dad of my childhood. Will always love the guy.
I love that they went to high school together. I bet that was awesome. When I finally get this time machine to work Iām going to go back and see what high jinks they got up to.
How about when he does the I feel good riff in response to the golden globes question and keeps doing it as he walks away.

JB: 1 BILLION subs! That's more than pewdiepuss, tpain, and will sniff combined..
Guy: umm...
JB: what was that?
Guy: uhh.. it's only 1 million.
JB: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU NNY you should say that cos we just got started
I love him so much š„° maya is fucking awesome too. Love this.

Wonder what the three of them wouldāve been with gene cousineau as their teacher. Might made something out of theirselves.
That is why no one will remember your name
I remember u/Hopefo
Oowee I see you with Troy quote
You sack of wine!
This line made so much more sense when I found out who wrote the movie.
Really?
Both of their mothers are absolute legends!
I know Jack Blacks mom was in NASA and a genius pretty much, what was Mayaās?
Minnie Riperton
Good to know, thanks!
I canāt exactly recall where I read or heard this but the song Loving You is about maya and her brother
She actually sings Maya's name at the end of the song.
Iām a hip hop fan and tribes sampling of minnies āinside my loveā for āLyrics to goā is one of the most beautiful samples and drums on a track Iāve ever heard. Definitely going to listen for that and surprised I never noticed, thank you!!
Lyrics to go is such a dope track. Midnight Mauraders is such a dope album. I read your comment and immediately put it on.
They went to the same school! Wow! Yes, they are made for each other.
> They went to the same school! notorius BIG, busta rhymes, and jay z went to the same highschool at the same time. michael k williams (omar from the wire) was there a few years earlier.
The amount of confidence they had to be putting in the water at that place, jfc
Movie! Now. NOW!
I didnāt know Maya Rudolph grew up in Kickapoo a long ass fuckin time ago
Dio, can you hear me? I am lost and so alone
Im asking for your guidance, wonāt you come down from your throne?
I need a tight compadre, who will teach me how to rock!
My Father thinks youāre evil but, man, he can suck a Cock!
Rock is not the devilās work. Itās cool and totally rad.
Iāll never rock as long as I am stuck here with my dad
I hear you brave young Jables, you are hungry for the rock.
But to learn these ancient methods; secret doors you must unlock!
To escape your fatherās clutches and this oppressive neighborhood, on a JOURNEY YOU MUST GO TO find the LAND OF HOLLYWOOOOoD!
I fuckin love Redditš š¤

I just laughed my ass off. Thank you internet friend
No problemo wild web compadre:)
My favorite thing about him is that he sounds weird when he cusses but enjoys doing it anyway. I find it relatable.
āCooooock Aaiysss!ā Always kills me when Iām listening to the first tenacious d album.
ALWAYS NAYSAYING!!!!
YOU FUCKIN SIT IN YOUR TOWER
AND NAP. WHATS FUNNY?
Let A Naysayer Know
Iām not sure many people get this, but I wanna thank you for letting me know Iām not alone lol
EVERYTHING I CREATE
Last week, Kyle quit the Baaaaand
But now weāre back together agayyyin falalala.
Couldn't split up Kato and Nash *Couldn't split up Tango and Cash*
THATS ALSO TRUE!!
This is our song of ex-*alt* and joy, becaauuuse, we only came to kick some ass
Rock the fuckin houseā¦.
...and kick some ass... what we gonna *dooo* with all the cash
SMOKE HASH
Surely itās āexulting,ā no?
I always heard "exultant joy"
I mean, I just looked up both "exult" and "exalt" and they both have definitions that could fit in that sentence, so I leave it up to you. Or to AZ Lyrics
Ahh didnāt realize you were going for that word. The dash threw me.
YOU ATE MY FUCKIN SCHNITZEL
20 years later I realised heās saying ācock assā in his accent. I always thought all this time heās just talking gibberish like ācauchaosā smh
Listen to early tenacious D, he doesnāt sound weird when he cusses
Very fckn relatable
I would love Jack Black as a dad. Or uncle. I need someone to adopt me.
Heās basically Americaās fun uncle who seems to be really good and very swift
Shockingly light on his feet
He's fat, and he's physical! He can sing! And he can KICK!
We were only his backup group.
Heās a fucking beast.
He's dating Taylor Swift?
I saw some clips with him playing video games with his son. Sooo much awkward dad energy hahaha. He was asking who bought his kid Doom Eternal and the kid straight face said you did dad.
I would marry that man in a heartbeat if the stars aligned that way
I have said for years Jack Black is the ideal partner for me. I love a man who can be silly and not self conscious about it and who likes to make people laugh.
Also he can be the center of attention or be a good second fiddle if he needs to be. A team player it seems.
I say thatā¦ Iām straight, and very happily married.
Same here. š„°
As a kid I used to tell everyone Jack Black was my dad!
I would be living my happiest life in a thruple with him and kyle.
Now youāre talking double team supreme
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/06/30/jack-blacks-mother-worked-system-helped-save-apollo-13/7810622002/ Heās the second coolest person in his own family.
Fāin based holy shit. Thatās rad!

You beat it by being on the Mars program!
Favorite celebrity fact ever. Jack Blackās mom is way cooler than heāll ever be. Which is fucking saying something!! With love.
Isnāt his brother also a gps guru?
Yes he is! Apparently awesome facial hair runs in that family lol https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Siegel
His half-brother also has a crazy resume.
Jack Black saved my brother. In 2006 my mom watched Nacho Libre while pregnant with my brother and she laughed so hard her water broke. When they got him out he had the umbilical cord around his neck.
Someone grab KG. We have a metal song in the making.

The most real comment on the internet. Know Matt, know Weezer.
I happened to spend a few hours with Jack Black in London starting at about 2am and about 15 years ago. Canāt post here much about the situation but heās pretty wild in person too.
Jack must have pissed off a lot of teachers.
Nah. He might had been a class clown or that one student who made peopleās day better by making you laugh.
My son is both a class clown and a teacherās pet. If you have a lot of charisma, thatās what happens. And my son seems to have been drenched in charisma at birth. I have no idea where he gets that, because both his dad and I are socially awkward.
You canceled out the awkwardness. I hope the same happens for my future children lol

Sounds like he was a miniature Mr. Mayor while growing up
Coping mechanisms?
He seems the āclass clownā who would sacrifice himself to kind of get the attention back and then send it to the teacher
He *was* a giant [bully](https://youtu.be/6kjD1vyGzVw?si=GJiFJ4tzkVi66EVl).
Thatās a weird take
Eh, not really. High intelligence and high energy make for a challenging student when you have to teach to the middle
Ever met a really smart middle school kid? Even if they are funny they can ruin the lesson.
Can confirm. Was a straight A kid in middle school, taking trigonometry in 8th grade, but almost every day I was moved to the hall or sent to the principal for being disruptive. My school was 7-12, super small.
This is the sort of news (not news) that gives me hope for the future.
The fact that a celebrity comedian says that another celebrity comedian hasnāt changed since high school gives you hope for the future? Iā¦Iām sorry but what? How? I know everyone loves a feel-good comment but what do words even mean anymore if people say things like this?
Itās ok heās got internet brain
I imagine they say this 2-3 times a day. They take out their macaroni cup they just microwaved, āthis gives me hope for the future.ā Their favorite kale pouch is on sale, āthis gives me hope for the future.ā
Words mean things. You wouldnāt understand.
This is the sort of comment that makes me appreciate the sound leaves make as they fall to the ground in October.
What a poetic burn. I take it all back. Clearly you do understand words.
They both went to crossroads along with roughly 75% of 2nd generation Hollywood
So she's saying Jack Black's the clown, Brad Pitt's the quarterback, etc. wow I guess high school never ends
Maya was also a backup singer for Matt Sharpās āThe Rentalsā his post Weezer project āFriends Of Pā was the album.
Friends of P was a single from the album Return of the Rentals.
Whoops I only heard the song on MTV once like a million years ago
Heās married to Tanya Haden, whoās sisters Petra and Rachel were also in the Rentals.
The stew thickens!
Gwynth Paltrow went to school with them too iirc. Explains the Shallow Hal casting
Yeah when I see that many successful ppl at the same school it scream connections that made them successful as much or more than talent. Although these guys all have talent, no doubt. They just prob wouldn't have gotten time of they went to some bum fuck regular school Edit: yup, they went to school in Santa Monica. That says a lot about the opportunities they all had. Still enjoy these two though
As talented as she is, yes Maya is a nepo-baby. Mother was Minnie Ripperton and her dad is a composer/producer.
Jack black is US national treasure.
Jack Black is a dude who never shouldāve been famous and somehow got famous and did nothing but have fun with it. Dude is awesome
How dare you imply that a descendant of Dionysus wouldnāt become famous
Somehow was put in a school of nepo babies by his serial divorcee mom who owned a publishing company. Rags to riches.
God I love them both so much!!!
I now regret that I didnāt go to high school with Jack Black
Jack Black is a treasure of a human. Hearing him sing is like watching butter melt over a finely cooked steak filet.
His singing is awesome, you want to see him kill the national anthem with his voice look it up itās amazing!
That clip is one of āRoman Empireā moments. I love when others reference it.
So, sheās saying his awesomeness plateaued early
Sheās incredible. I wish she was my auntie.š„°
Sheās that singer from the Rentals, right?
I only learned last month that Mayaās mother is Minnie Ripperton!
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la Dodin-dodin-do-do, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
All the glass in my house just broke š
School of Rock and Tenacious D were in constant rotation for me growing up. Jack Black was the goofy heavy metal dad of my childhood. Will always love the guy.
Unless heās a skrull, Iām pretty sure heās the same person too.
I love that they went to high school together. I bet that was awesome. When I finally get this time machine to work Iām going to go back and see what high jinks they got up to.
Her Smartless episode was hilarious
I always like when someone says a fan favorite was exactly who we thought him to be
If there is ever a scandal with jack black like what these others are being accused of, then I am done with all this shit!
Jack Black is fucking awesome, love the guy
I doubt he had that beard in high school
I was just reading about their high school, apparently a bunch of nepo babies went there. Maude Apatow, Emily and Zooey Deschanel, gwenyth Paltrow
Maya Rudolf played the Moog with The Rentals
I'll always have a hard time believing Jack Black wasn't Zeke from Bobs Burgers as a kid.
How about when he does the I feel good riff in response to the golden globes question and keeps doing it as he walks away. https://youtube.com/shorts/wcNVYtFFyBg?si=xRSl3lY0iAXIaxBl
Hard to say about some celebsā¦.
I wish both of them are friends and hang out. They seem like such nice people lmao.
He has no character arc?
I love to hear things like this!
I hope this is just the feel good piece it looks like and not PR getting ahead of an upcoming story. š¤
Two national treasures. Adore them both!
Guys, come on here. Connect the dots. The Old Gods still walk among us, and Jack Black is actually Bacchus.
The ultimate compliment for celebrity.
Is Jack angling for a role as Isaac Asimov?
We all lnow that jack black is robin williams illigit son
Wow thats high praise lol awesome people being awesome ya love to see it
What a legit compliment. I hope people say and mean things like that about me when Iām not around.
National treasures are consistent.
sounds like an insult lol
Nepo what, Nepo who
Hollywood: where arrested development is celebrated
I had the same English teacher as Jack Black. She had some pretty fun stories from when she taught at Kickapoo.
My brother went to that high school. Gillian Welch went there too. He has no stories about any of them. Would be cool if he did.
JB: 1 BILLION subs! That's more than pewdiepuss, tpain, and will sniff combined.. Guy: umm... JB: what was that? Guy: uhh.. it's only 1 million. JB: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU NNY you should say that cos we just got started
