Jack Black discusses the demon slayer's workout on Jimmy Kimmel Live

by JC Fletcher { Oct 16th 2009 at 3:00AM }

This week, Jack Black continued his bizarre Brütal Legend promotional tour with an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, somewhat in character as Eddie Riggs. As we watched Black upturn furniture and do clap push-ups, we started to realize that he's getting rather a lot of mileage out of that muscle suit. And then we couldn't help but wonder: what do you think that suit smells like right now?

And how do you even clean the inside of a foam rubber muscle suit? Do you use household cleaners of some kind, or does the film industry have a specially formulated solution just for cleaning bodysuits?

... Oh, right, the Kimmel segment's after the break, in four parts.

INTERNET SUPERHERO @ Oct 16th 2009 10:37AM

Why can't he just use his normal voice?!?

Z @ Oct 16th 2009 4:13AM

He's kickass :D

Solace @ Oct 16th 2009 3:29AM

BEST INTERVIEW EWWAAA

Chillski @ Oct 16th 2009 12:38PM

jimmy kimmel is such an ahole for trying to get jack black to shit on his own movies he's made.... lol

Me @ Oct 16th 2009 3:31AM

Watch, Jack Black will be promoting brutal legend 10 years from now. He's just that dedicated.

DeepFriedSushi @ Oct 16th 2009 3:41AM

this is selling out in a good way.

ugg.tryptophan @ Oct 16th 2009 3:43AM

dude, I'd be super proud if i voiced and starred in my first video game

1251 @ Oct 16th 2009 7:07AM

Yeah respecting a great mind and creator such as Hideo is nothing to be proud of, and jokingly say he's a word that doesn't exist is a bad thing.

Get off my nuts, I can have an opinion if I want.

And you can bet if idiots are giving BL more un-deserved hype, I'm gonna be right there telling them how it is.

1251 @ Oct 16th 2009 3:44AM

this is fucking lame.

Jack Black is the worst thing to happen to video games since Halo, Guitar Hero, and MW.

What do all these things have in common?
Douchebags. Fucking douchebags.

Solace @ Oct 16th 2009 3:50AM

you're the only douche bag

JACK @ Oct 16th 2009 4:36AM

Jack Black = pwnz.

and you = http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/4386/picardinsult.jpg

Jeez why gotta be a douchebag in every article 1251? Let's see here:

Quote: "fuck chat party."
Conclusion: anger issues

Quote: "very original Valve. You fat fucks."
Conclusion: anger issues

Quote: "shows how much Joystiq knows about actual theater. Thank you for telling us who is able to write the better stories, assholes."
conclusion: anger issues

Quote: "As do I, you shmexy little Japanese dude."
Conclusion: little Japanese dudes make him horny

Need a hug? Hmmm?

Top Cat @ Oct 16th 2009 7:53AM

With Karate I'll kick your ass, from here to right over there,
Oh yeah motherfucker, I'm gonna kick your fucking derriere!

borland502 (SDF Macross) @ Oct 16th 2009 9:22AM

@mgsrocks1: "Need a hug? Hmmm? "

Well, according to your established logic that'll work only if you're a japanese dude.

gk128 @ Oct 16th 2009 3:49AM

Why does Jack Black make his voice gruff when playing Eddie in real life? He does not sound like this in the game.

DeepFriedSushi @ Oct 16th 2009 4:07AM

well its just to fit his muscle suit, i'm sure hes fully aware that it doesnt match his character in-game.

JHemlock @ Oct 16th 2009 4:14AM

Dude, where do you think his genitals disappeared to ?

sqwarlock @ Oct 16th 2009 4:20AM

But he's not playing Eddie. He's just really committed to the craft.

JACK @ Oct 16th 2009 4:39AM

I see at least three posts asking the same question every time Jack Black and Brutal Legend is posted here on Joystiq.

My answer. How the fuck should we know?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fine Leather Jackets @ Oct 16th 2009 4:56AM

I was thinking the exact same thing, it's probably the roadie workout schedule.

ytilanigiroon @ Oct 16th 2009 11:25AM

@Fine Leather Jackets
"I was thinking the exact same thing, it's probably the roadie workout schedule."

Tenacious D should re-make the "Kanye Workout Plan" as the "Roadie Workout Plan".

Levi @ Oct 17th 2009 10:08AM

lol I was thinking the same thing. He has a rough voice, then it pans to the game clips and he sounds like normal JB. Personally once I realized that I thought it was a hilarious touch.

Monica Dickey @ Oct 16th 2009 4:05AM

haha this is awesome. I'd be pretty pumped and willing to be ridiculous in character too if I had my first video game made and it turned out so cool also!

JNub @ Oct 16th 2009 5:44AM

Im not interested in the game but that was cool of jack black,fair play

Noseybonk @ Oct 16th 2009 5:52AM

At the end of part three there was a voice in the back of his head saying "School of Rock, School of Rock, School of Rock, School of Rock, School of Rock, School of Rock, School of Rock "

Filthy Assistant @ Oct 16th 2009 7:02AM

Jack is completely insane and I love him for it.

TheElderFrog @ Oct 16th 2009 9:03AM

People say Jack Black only plays "himself" in movies.
That is true but i wouldn't have it any other way!

XBL: xGeneral DEATHx PSN: Deeth82 [Planeteer | Power of General Hostility and Angst] @ Oct 16th 2009 9:26AM

I'm not Jack Black's biggest fan, but I think the role he got in Brutal Legend is a perfect fit for him. I laughed all the way through the demo, and even laughed some more on the second playthrough. Go JB!

Bill$ @ Oct 16th 2009 12:27PM

hmm strange.. i love jack black, especially in Tenacious D but i actually found him annoying in Brutal Legend. horrible monologue & one liners. his jokes arent even funny. hmm oh well. i wasnt planning on getting it to begin with.

XBL: xGeneral DEATHx PSN: Deeth82 [Planeteer | Power of General Hostility and Angst] @ Oct 16th 2009 1:50PM

That's ironic because I found him annoying in almost all other projects he appeared in. Oh well, different strokes for different folks.

Roncore @ Oct 16th 2009 9:55AM

How much are they paying him?

CtrlBurn @ Oct 16th 2009 10:40AM

Clap push-ups? I thought Jack Black's specialty was cock push-ups...

ShadowOp @ Oct 16th 2009 11:16AM

The roids made them disappear...

Robobie @ Oct 16th 2009 12:42PM

That was awesome... Especially when the demon was just sitting there

TriviumSuffocationTheBlackDahliaMurderLambOfGod @ Oct 16th 2009 12:34PM

I saw this when he was on. Pretty hilarious. I'm not sure why he talks that way since he doesn't in the game, but the clap pushups were great. I need some of those fake muscles. :)
