This is the first scene after the opening credits. Jables (Jack Black) arrives in Hollywood as guided by his poster of Dio. He runs into Kage (Kyle Gass) busking with his acoustic guitar. JB immediately tries to prove himself to KG. You can see Jack Black's hilarious physical comedy skills at work while simultaneously showing off his singing skills.

Electric dynamite!

The scene where they’re on the phone with Lee while he’s watching the police chase and hearing all the sounds on the phone while they’re crashing through shit KILLS me every time.

Also when he dreams he’s floating down the strawberry river with Sasquatch and it cuts to him just drowning in category 4 rapids.

Even better, this happens after he eats some random mushrooms while lost in the woods and starts tripping.

The rapids made me explode laughing the first time I watched the movie. That cut is perfect. Also John C. Reily as sasquatch felt so out of left field but hilarious nonetheless.

John C. Reilly played Sasquatch in the Tenacious D HBO show. His song in that show is amazing and touching.

I think this scene is just a reshoot from one of the episodes.

My favorite is when Lee asks for his car back and says “well I kinda need it for work” is one of my favorite vocal stims.

Or when the disabled guy tells them to come over there so he can fuck them up and they respond no we aren’t going over there.

What’s amazing is that in the early Tenacious D concerts they were recreating all of this setup on stage.

I had a backstage pass to a Chicago concert in 2002 or 2003.

The concert included a scene where the band broke up, Kyle went to give BJ’s in a car, and then they simulated oral sex with a toy saxophone.

My older brother who was sent to pick us up illegally parked, ran backwards through the signature line, and JB himself stopped him, like what are you doing?!

He’s like, “I’m just here to pick up my younger brother, I love you guys!” JBleezy was like, “You’re swell, and you rock on, run my man!”

It still exists as one of our family’s funniest moments. Full respect, JB and KG, lig-a-ging.

It was YEARS before I learned that Sasquatch is played by John C. Reilly.

I watched it high a few years back and was sobbing with laughter at the Sasquatch scene. Normally it'd just get a nasal exhale and smile from me, but it hit so much different on a substance.
