All these but hurt commenters because he condemned calling for political violence.
That’s super vague, the police are political violence.
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?
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.
Looked up LBD to see what it’s about and…damn… https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lewy-body-dementia/symptoms-causes/syc-20352025
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.
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.

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.
I am Steve
I mean do you know for a fact he isn’t depressed? Comedians tend to do a pretty good job covering it up.
Like Robin Williams!
Didn’t he have Lewy Body Dementia? As I understand, depression is a symptom, but the disease is far deeper than that.
He was pretty open about struggling with depression for most of his life.
Shit. I didn’t know that. I always thought the dementia lent to the depression.
Man. What a tragic end. I think I’m going to do a deep dive on his life soon. I have such admiration for him.
I think the dementia diagnosis lead to his suicide but I think his life-long struggles with depression made him relatable enough to be a comedian that could become successful and not lose that relatability, unlike some one like Jerry Seinfeld.
Oh I absolutely agree! Mental health colors art. In all forms. From comedy, to fashion, to traditional art, to music… art seen through the lens of depression is relatable to almost everyone at some point in their life.
It’s the internet, you’re not supposed to agree.
You’re supposed to call me a dumbass and explain in detail why.
Pretty sure we are all depressed… :)
No we’re not
Give it time. :)
I’m pretty open with my struggles with depression and how I managed to actually overcome them with persistence and treatment. So, no, we’re not.
Won’t be lettin strangers on the internet erase all my hard work.
Good on you man. This is how to be.
I hope you understand it was a joke, and if not, it’s probably good to try and recognize humor to fight real depression. :)
He throws his friends under the bus

Jack had great parents from what I gather. I don’t think his demons are all that loud.
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 mean… He’s an entertainer. I think most entertainers are attention seekers. That’s why they got into it in the first place; for the attention.
Then again, he could have just grown up that way because he was a child actor.
He has a gaming channel?
Andy Dwyer was the Jack black of parks and rec. shame Chris Pratt didn’t embrace that character type. One of my most favourite roles he’s ever done.
I must be out of the loop did something happen w/ Jack Black?
Yeah same. Before I opened this comment section I’ve never even heard of a person that dislikes JB.
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
the D is on hold atm
Okay good but what about their band?
Thanks. I’m with KG here and think JB is just overreacting and trying to prevent any damage to his name.
The timing was a big factor too, it was like only a day or so after the attempt and while everyone was trying to calm down the situation and condemn the assassination attempt so as not to incite any other people for doing the same or reaction to the attempt, and then he goes and says that, it was very against the grain of the moment.
Bit of a [tragedy+time=comedy] but the time hadnt passed yet so the edge was too sharpCalling for death, even as a joke, is deplorable. And in Trumps case, dangerous. It’s one thing to make this joke with a couple of friends, it’s entirely another when the entire country sees it - both the crazies that would do it, or the crazies that would shoot them for it.
Incorrect
Supportive upbringing is a helluva drug
Successful career doesn’t hurt.
I fear for him. I don’t want another Robin Williams event
