The list still stands at zero.

Rating: 1/10 (24 August 2017)

Back in 2013, I jokingly created an IMDb list called 'Non-irritating performances by Jack Black' which consisted of zero titles. Over the years, I have wondered if I might have been a little unfair (he was just about bearable in Tropic Thunder, I suppose), but I feel vindicated after watching Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, which sees Black putting in a grating, boorish, self indulgent, and seriously unfunny performance to beat all others.
The film stars Black as JB, a wannabe rock star who teams up with guitarist KG (Kyle Gass) to form the group Tenacious D; together, they plan to take the music world by storm by laying their hands on the Pick of Destiny, a legendary guitar pick made from Satan's tooth that endows the holder with incredible musical skills. All of this nonsense definitely has the potential to be funny, but Black's egocentric performance, Liam Lynch's uninspired direction, a lack of decent material that relies too heavily on vulgarity, 'stoner' gags, and pointless cameos, and surprisingly cheap production values makes for a really painful experience.
1/10. Foo Fighter's Dave Grohl puts in the best performance as Satan, but it's nothing we haven't already seen in Tenacious D's much played music video for 'Tribute' (which I actually like, along with the rest of their debut album — go figure!).
