In the latest episode of "Hollywood Elitists Gone Wild," our favorite Tinseltown stars have taken a break from saving whales and hugging trees to delve into the world of political assassination humor. Leading the charge is none other than the human wrecking ball himself, Jack Black, who recently dipped his toe into the murky waters of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Yes, folks, this is the same Jack Black who once charmed us in "School of Rock." Now, he's making jokes about assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump. What a career pivot!
Jack Black, known for his slapstick comedy and ever-expanding waistline, recently teamed up with a fellow humorist to wish that an assassin's bullet aimed at Trump had found its mark. That's right, Jack – whose physical transformation seems to be a tribute to every fast food chain in America – thinks it's perfectly fine to joke about the death of a human being. Talk about a laugh riot!
Let's set the stage: the tasteless skit took place shortly after a real assassination attempt on Trump, an event that saw bystanders injured and tragically, one killed. But who cares about real-life consequences when you're a Hollywood star with an inflated sense of self-importance, right? After all, why let a little thing like human decency get in the way of a punchline?
Jack Black's comedy routine wasn’t just in poor taste – it was pure evil disguised as humor. Imagine the outrage if he had made a joke about the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The liberal media would have had a collective meltdown faster than you can say "Oscar snub." But when it's Trump, all bets are off. Apparently, in Hollywood, hate speech is only bad when it's directed at their chosen idols.
But hey, it’s not just Jack Black who’s guilty of this moral freefall. Let’s not forget Robert De Niro and George Clooney, the patron saints of Hollywood hypocrisy. These actors, who’ve made millions portraying mobsters and suave thieves, are now the self-appointed moral compasses of America. They’re quick to devalue anyone who doesn’t share their worldview, while expecting the rest of us to hang on their every word like it’s the gospel according to Saint Martin Scorsese.
Here's some free advice for Jack Black, De Niro, Clooney, and the rest of the Hollywood echo chamber: stick to what you’re good at – pretending to be someone else. Your political opinions aren’t worth more than those of the ticket-buying public who fund your luxurious lifestyles. And Jack, maybe it’s time to lay off the cheeseburgers and get back in shape – you’re starting to look like the Michelin Man’s sloppy cousin.
So, to all the Hollywood elites out there who think their opinions are golden, remember this: we’re the ones who pay to watch your movies, not to hear your political rants. If we wanted nonsensical babble, we’d tune into a reality TV show. Until then, stick to acting and leave the real-world issues to the adults in the room. And Jack, a little less assassination humor and a lot more time on the treadmill might do you some good.
**Disclaimer:**
Comedy and parody are wild territories, but even I draw the line when it comes to joking about someone's life. In this article I critique Jack Black for a comedy skit that crossed this line by joking about an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. While I enjoy using humor to spotlight absurdities (and yes, I took a few jabs at Jack Black’s weight – full disclosure: I’m no featherweight myself), I firmly believe that wishing harm on anyone is no laughing matter. My goal is to entertain, not to endorse harmful jokes. Let’s keep our humor hearty and our assassins non-existent.
