History YMMV / TenaciousD

* NightmareFuel: While what was played in "Tribute" ends up turning out awesome or funny, the concept of what the duo went through is pretty nightmarish. Imagine you are just minding your own business, all of the sudden, the Devil comes and demands you play the best song in the world, or he'll eat your souls. There's no guarantee that what you sing next just happens in the best song in the world, so 99 out of 100 chances, you ''are'' going to have your soul devoured. Not a fun thought. Though this counts as a HilariousInHindsight though, since the concept would eventually be played out in ''{{VideoGame/Cuphead}}''.

** Well he DID say they couldn't actually remember much about the song they performed.

** "Nay, we are but men...ROCK!"

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3kna1iKAzw Small seasoned curlies.]]
*** Alternatively, "Fuck my ass" from the same song.
** Jack saying "boner", from "Cock Push-Ups".

** Similarly, these clips are inserted into Jack Black’s appearances on ''Series/SesameStreet'', especially the octagon [[StupidStatementDanceMix Stupid Statement Dance Mixes]].

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Again - it's ''Tenacious D!''

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Lee, from "The Fan."

* HoYay: Jack and Kyle

** "FUCK YOU!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A soundbyte taken from Jack Black's rant at the end of "Inward Singing", which immediately became popular for WebAnimation/YouTubePoop videos, often juxtaposing it with some of Black's more family-friendly roles to exploit the inevitable tonal dissonance for humor.[[/labelnote]]

** A majority of their explicit soundclips have become a heavy source of use through "edited" videos on Website/{{YouTube}}; said videos contain an episode of a children's television show (typically ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' and ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'') that have their innocent dialogue tampered around with by adding profanity, sexual references, or anything of that vulgar nature, to them in an attempt to make them funnier.

* IdiotPlot: "Road Gig." The whole reason the plot happens is because they intentionally take an incredibly long way around to get to their gig... instead of just going a few blocks across town. This is all PlayedForLaughs, though.

** Sasquatch is a barely recognizable Creator/JohnCReilly, better known as ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph,'' or [[Series/CheckItOutWithDrSteveBrule Dr. Steve]] [[Series/TimAndEricAwesomeShowGreatJob Brule.]]

** Pretty much all of "Inward Singing", especially Jack's [[ClusterFBomb rant]] near the end.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment
** Music/RonnieJamesDio's eventual, inevitable death in 2010 turns the tongue-in-cheek homage song "Dio" into more of a sincere tribute for a fallen idol.
** While the [[{{Fanservice}} hypersexual]] {{animated music video}}s Creator/JohnKricfalusi created for "Fuck Her Gently" and "Classico," respectively, were already pretty disturbing (it says something that they're ''the'' most sexually explicit cartoons he's ever created), they're downright unwatchable now that his history of statutory rape has come to light. The former even begins with the devil [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything aggressively penetrating his girlfriend as she screams in pain]][[note]]Technically, John K. was not directly involved with that video, rather it was created by a team of young interns at his studio, Spümcø. According to them, Kricfalusi didn't even ''watch'' the video until five years after it had come out.[[/note]] while the horny rabbit in the latter visibly resembles Katie Rice, one of John K.'s victims and eventual whistleblower.
