Line #5 YMMV/TenaciousDInThePickOfDestiny


1	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Jack Black an Iconic, if hammy, badass who does what he does for the rock? Or is he [[WellDoneSonGuy just fighting for his daddy's love]] the only way he can, through music, as suggested by "Baby" and "Sasquache"?
2	* AluminumChristmasTrees: "Kickapoo" might sound like a scatologically humorous name for a fictional town in the Midwest, but there are actually several cities named Kickapoo, named after the Native American nation.
3	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The main reason to watch this movie. Especially "Beelzeboss".
4	** For a non-Tenacious D example, "Agnus Dei" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkObnNQCMtM the song playing when Jables gets his first guitar]].
5	** The opening number, "Kickapoo," a mini-RockOpera featuring (in order) Jack Black [[LargeHam doing his thing]], Music/MeatLoaf singing in a movie for the first time in [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow thirty years]] and Music/RonnieJamesDio rocking so hard that his voice literally caused a microphone to blow out![[note]]He does not need! A microphone! His voice is fuckin'! POWERFUUUUULLLL!![[/note]]
6	** [[SophisticatedAsHell Classico]].
7	** The sheer unadulterated awesomeness that is "''[[DreamSequence Master Exploder]]''," often regarded as The D's best song.
8	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The sasquatch scene.
9	* {{Fanon}}: It's usually accepted that the reason JB managed to deflect Satan's lightning bolt in the end with his guitar was because Tenacious D had actually managed to win the rock-off. [[note]]After all, the Devil sings about how he loves ''metal'', and it's [[LoopholeAbuse explicitly stated to be a rock-off, not a metal-off]].[[/note]]
10	* MemeticMutation:
11	** "Well, I just want to say that I'm a huge fan."[[labelnote:Explanation]]A scene from the making of where Dave Grohl, in costume as Satan, says this to Jack Black, which is used to invoke YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame on someone. A variant of the meme replaces the picture of Satan Dave Grohl with one of Jesus, and the evil deed with a good one.[[/labelnote]]
12	** TheScream from "[[https://youtu.be/tUwxCn2Y1Mo Kickapoo]]" is a popular source to edit into other scenes where people either scream or [[AmusingInjuries get hit]].
13	** "You're gonna gargle mayonnaise!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]This line from "Beelzeboss (The Final Showdown)" became a popular editing source for {{YouTube Poop}}s, mainly because of the [[LargeHam hammy]] way JB says "gargle".[[/labelnote]]
14	** 'Twas I who fucked the dragon![[labelnote:Explanation]]A line from "Kickapoo", used in reference to, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin sex with dragons]], such as Donkey from ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' or the stereotypical ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' HornyBard player.[[/labelnote]]
15	* OneSceneWonder:
16	** Music/MeatLoaf as JB's father in the opening song, notably his ''only'' other singing role in a movie after ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow''.
17	** Music/RonnieJamesDio as himself immediately after.
18	** Music/DaveGrohl as the Devil.
19	* SignatureScene: The Rock-off against The Devil that is the climax of the film is by far the most remembered moment of the film, in no small part due the "[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Beelzeboss]]" musical number.
20	** And to a lesser extent, the scene where Jables uses his penis to deactivate a security system
21	* StrawmanHasAPoint: So, wait... rock and roll actually ''does'' come from the Devil?! JB's dad was right!
22	** JB's dad was right about pretty much ''everything''. He also said that rock would be a corrupting influence on JB, which JB blows off with "Rock is not the Devil's work! It's magical and rad!" By the time he's been living the rock lifestyle for years and learns that the Devil is in fact responsible for rock'n'roll, he thinks that's ''awesome'' and will do whatever it takes to snag that demonic power for himself.
23	*** Though if we want to get technical, the Pick of Destiny is actually a product of ''triumph'' over the Devil.
24	* TearJerker: The song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTh-U3rK91o "Dude (I Totally Miss You)"]] is pretty damn depressing for a comedy rock film.
25	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: There are about 15 minutes worth of DeletedScenes which would have set up more jokes and allowed for better character development. Liam Lynch had them all cut to speed up the pace and allow for more gags, but there is a minority of fans who feel that it wasn't worth it, and both of those things would have benefited the movie by giving it a stronger emotional core.
26	* TheWoobie: [=KG=] has a couple short scenes in the movie designed to invoke this. One shows that he was bald as a kid and bullied for it, and another has a college kid throw a plastic cup at him after he bombs a performance. Bordering on JerkassWoobie as he takes advantage of Jables for the first half of the movie, makes up stories to try to get with girls not half his age, and is a major [[TheSlacker slacker]].
