I mean do you know for a fact he isn't depressed? Comedians tend to do a pretty good job covering it up.

You don't know he's not depressed. Remember Robin.

I thought the depression rumor was debunked? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Robin get a dementia diagnosis, and thus chose to go out on his own terms, rather than slowly rot away?

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Half right - he did battle depression his entire life, and he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson's not too long before committing suicide. There's really no way to prove which one influenced his decision more, but it was likely because of both.

Oof

Depression. People with Lewy body dementia might develop depression.

So he already had depression, and then got a disease that causes depression.

If not dementia, it was a similarly debilitating condition. Wanted to dip on his own terms before he became a husk of himself.

RIP Rob, you were the GOAT.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 weeks ago

It was Lewy Body Dementia. He had periods of lucidity and in one of those decided that he no longer wanted to live as a prisoner in his own body, and a burden to his family because for all intents and purposes his life as a functioning human was over.

Honestly his entire circumstance is a shining example of why we need a death with dignity law.

It was Lewy Body Dementia, I remember because my grandma had it. It’s non-hereditary thankfully, but just as debilitating as Alzheimer’s.

Is the d back together again? If not, I don't want to hear it!

[–] [email protected] 77 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean if i was kyle gass id tell jack black to go fuck himself. He made a big fit over a simple joke when his whole shtick(before being a literal clown for Disney(tm)) was being an 'edgy' comedian who writes songs that are supposed to be offensive.

Lots of times when me and KG are watching

All the fucking shit that goes down at City Hall

We get the feeling we should fuck shit up

Yeah, we should fucking start a riot

A riot!

And the song continues to tell about the destruction of the government, with the implication that previous leaders are dead. It's obviously a joke song, and when KG made the joke on stage it should have been taken just the same, but Hollywood Jack stepped in and thought about all of the movie deals he was gonna miss out on... like fucking Minecraft... Yeah. I love Jack, and I wish him the best, but I am on KG's side, and if they haven't fixed this shit on a personal level, and Kage comes out with some shit about Jack sucking, I'm gonna wave goodbye to the D.

He throws his friends under the bus

More of a clown every single day tbh

Hes really lost a lot of my respect.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

TBF, in the free world it's illegal to joke about the death of dictators, politicians, and extremely dangerous criminals unless you are a politician &/or conservative. Everybody knows that.

I used to think the same about Robin Williams until he killed himself. 😥

Depression is fucked and some people are really good at hiding behind humor.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 weeks ago

Robin Williams killed himself due to early onset dementia from brain disease: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Williams#Death.

He is also a spineless worm

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How so? I don't know anything about him personally

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (17 children)

People are mad because he denounced Gass when Gass made comments regarding Trump's would be assassin missing, but security at concerts are trash and it's reasonable the the both of them could be shot by a Trump supporter.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago

Ye, but then again the band split because of it. They'll probably reform and make a dumb song about it in the future, but still.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Shot by a Trump supporter?!? At a concert in Australia?!? I think that's a bit of a stretch, mate.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

I think they meant in the future, not in that particular concert lol

Reese Witherspoon, she's the prom queen

Supportive upbringing is a helluva drug

from what i remember he stopped his band because his friend made a trump joke. safe to say he has no feelings at all.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sounds like he's got strong feelings about demographics.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

About his bank account.

I don't even care that much about the band stuff. I liked his movies when he was little, and when he started a gaming channel I realized I now find him very annoying. He comes across as full of himself and desperate for attention.

I must be out of the loop did something happen w/ Jack Black?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Apparently when KG was blowing out his birthday candles on stage they asked him to make a wish, and he said "Don't miss Trump next time". JB is working on his clean image and stepped away, I don't think they have any beef tbh, but the D is on hold atm. source

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

the D is on hold atm

Okay good but what about their band?

Yeah same. Before I opened this comment section I've never even heard of a person that dislikes JB.
