We can do that?
Jack Black is that you?
It literally is.
This is an action figure. So this is literally, figuratively Jack Black.
An action figure that looks like they have not seen any action outside of the kitchen for decades.
We could call this an Inaction figure.
Now I want AI to generate an Inaction Man comic.
Well, you get boring human writing instead:
“Inaction Man! There’s a seven story building burning with kids and kittens on the top floor!”
Inaction Man scratches his belly and pops another potato chip into his mouth.
“Have you considered calling the fire department instead of me? They are doing reruns of the Sopranos so I’m busy.”
It’s better than the overly done Lebron james matel doll
At least in Japan the middle aged men card trading game is a thing:

There’s a growing popularity for the Divorced Dad’s trading card game here in the states. My local game shop hosts the occasional game night for it.
More future landfill mass.

We need low interest rates and skyrocketing asset prices so that people pay 2% more to buy this next year. Consumption must go up so that people have worthless jobs producing trash that our politicians call economic growth, as people applaud their stocks rising.
It took me a minute to realize that little emoji wasn’t just a stain on his shirt, because honestly it fits.
I thought it was a button to make him say “I AM STEVE”
Pressing the mustard stain on Steve’s shirt to hear him say “Chicken Jockey” would be peak.
if you’re thinking of buying this, even ironically, don’t
There are so many people who don’t seem to understand what “middle aged” means. It means halfway to your life expectancy. So maybe 40, considering the average man in this country dies in their 70s. Jack Black is past middle age at 55.
Nah, middle age is not on specific age. Its the middle third of life span.
With cock and ball torture codpiece action!
Jack Black needs to be contained after learning how to do cock pushups while filming Tenacious D
Don’t forget that Power Slide and other techniques that were developed in hell
Now I’m wondering how many versions of Jack Black based action figures are out there
And the fact that they could be anywhere.

Back before “Better Call Saul” was launched, I was in a comic store. They had Breaking Bad action figures. I asked the clerk if a lot of kids were buying the Saul Goodman doll.
I learned that Saul was actually a good seller; there were plenty of real life lawyers who brought him.
Would you trust a lawyer with a Saul Goodman sitting on their desk?
Lord knows I would
Personally I look for the Saul Goodman doll before the degree on the wall.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be buying one at the first opportunity.
My other action figures are going to have to stand in the shadow of the glory of “it’s just Jack Black, I guess”.
(No sarcasm. I’m really going to buy this. I love the idea of Jack Black just playing “Jack Black”.)
Jack Black was mean to his friend just because his friend didn’t like Trump
Calling for the assassination of a political figure (especially one who is currently the sitting president, tho iirc, he was a candidate at the time) is pretty widely viewed as a red line and is very dangerous ground to tread for an American public figure, which he is.
Im pretty sure any “mean” thing he did is between him and Gaas, who has said they remain friends and will tour again as the D. Sounds like he is forgiven for anything you may have perceived as “mean.” It seems like that should satisfy anyone with genuine concerns about his friend.
Or are you just canceling anyone whose rhetoric you view as insufficiently hateful towards Trump? (Dont answer that, it was rhetorical.)
Just gonna leave here that Trump is directly responsible for a million of excess COVID deaths. But he was president so that was completely fine, right?
Nice strawman. Where anyone in this coment thread say anything about him or anything he has done being “fine”?
Is it necessary that every single comment must explicitly denounce Trump, for fear of an accusation of being insufficiently anti-Trump? Nah, fuck that. That would make you fascist as him.
It’s more “Jack Black is a coward and a poser” than being mean imo
More like “Jack Black, a man with $50 million, is a greedy pig and is only worried about getting more of that ‘family friendly’ money.”
I think that counts under poser but also true
“we have middle aged over weight man at home” At home “Dad”
“We have middle aged overweight man action figure at home”
At home “Harrier Du Bois action figure”

“we have middle aged over weight man at home”
At home: “Dad”
