dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I've know idea who that is. I wish I didn't know Black though. Insufferable person.

I googled him for you, he's a dude in a random 1994 rock band, the band is probably most famous for having a movie almost 2 decades ago. He made several single-episode appearances in a small number of random tv shows. Very obscure niche minor celebrity.

He's a well-known part of Jack Black's band, Tenacious D, which definitely isn't niche. They go back and forth saying each other's names during many of their songs.

Tenacious D, which definitely isn't niche

maybe in 2006 when their movie came out, these days that's a "what? who?" unless you're really into their niche. Most people don't know the names of band members of bands they don't personally follow and have never knowingly heard one of their songs.
