Awesome / Tenacious D

• "He asked us, 'Be you angels?' And we said, 'Nay, we are but men! ROCK!'"
• "Well, Wonderboy and Young Nastyman joined forces, they formed a band the likes of which had never been seen! And they called themselves Tenacious D!"
  JB: That's right! Me... and KG...
  KG: That's me!
  JB: We're! Now! Tenacious D! Come fly with me! FLY!
  • Wonderboy and Young Nastyman's powers. "What powers you ask? How about the power to kill a yak, from 200 yards away... WITH MIND BULLETS!!!"
    • "THAT'S TELEKINESIS, KYLE!"
• The video for 'Wonderboy', which has lyrics like 'Slice his nuts! And grab his scrote!' is a dramatic fantasy journey of 'Wonderboy' and 'Young Nastyman' climbing a mountain and is a tribute to the fantasy genre in general, with Jack Black being an admitted fan of the works of Moorcock and Tolkien, as well as D&D. And in the style of Moorcock's Downer Ending, Wonderboy dies impaled by his own blade alone in the cold. And it works!
• After Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny bombed at the box office, people thought The D was done. Six years later, they released Rize of the Fenix.
  "THE FUCKIN' D IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!"
• "And then, I'm gonna FUUUUUCCCCCKKKK you HAAAAARRRRRDDD!"
• "The Metal." It's basically the musical equivalent of a Badass Boast, as they sing about how impossibly awesome metal is compared to all other genres of music, and how none can ever match it.
• They won a Grammy Award. Not for comedy, either — their cover of "The Last in Line" won Best Metal Performance. Holy shit.
• Anytime ol' Rage Kage gets to show off his truly awesome guitar skills.
• Halloween 2020: Tenacious D release a full cover of "The Time Warp." It is every bit as awesome as you think it is.
