Tenacious D, or "The D" as they are also known by fans, is an American (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) satirical (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satirical) rock band (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_music) duo composed of musician/actors Kyle Gass (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Gass) and Jack Black (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Black).<sup id="_ref-AMG_0" class="reference">[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenacious_d#_note-AMG)</sup> Their music fuses vulgar absurdist comedy with rock music (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_music) in a style that critics have described as "mock rock".<sup id="_ref-john-kerry-benefit_0" class="reference"></sup>
Tenacious D's music showcases Black's theatrical vocals and Gass' acoustic guitar playing abilities. Many of their songs discuss the duo's purported musical and sexual prowess, as well as their friendship and intake of cannabis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_%28drug%29). Their albums feature absurd and humorous sketches. Music critics have compared the storyteller-style lyrics of their songs to lyrics of rock opera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_opera)<sup id="_ref-Entertainment_Weekly_0" class="reference"></sup>
The band first gained popularity in 1999 when they starred in the self-titled Tenacious D (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenacious_D_%28TV_series%29), a television series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_series) on HBO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HBO), in which Black and Gass attempted to establish themselves as the "Greatest Band on Earth". The series airs occasionally on Comedy Central (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy_Central) and is available on their DVD, The Complete Masterworks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Complete_Masterworks). In addition, they have since recorded two albums, and starred in their own movie, Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenacious_D_in:_The_Pick_of_Destiny).

Not run out of musicians, run out of ones that may crack the top ten, if I set the top ten in stone by putting up a hell of alot of well known and liked artists, it will make me just have to edit the 20+ list, so Im waiting out on a few, sorry I don't respond to requests right away, they will be done in the future.

Define hilarious? If by hilarious, you mean retarded humor that doesn't make me laugh 95% of the time, then yes, they are hilarious.

Also, Pick of Destiny was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

However lame the movie was, Beelzeboss is the greatest song involving defeating the devil in a rock off EVAR!

This world will be mine and you're first in line

[JB] Wait! Wait! Wait!

[Beelz] Fuck, fuck, fuck

[JB] If we win, you must take your sorry ass back to hell.
and also you will have to pay our rent

[Beelz] And what if *i* win?
[JB] then you can take Kage back to hell...

[Beelz]

I'm the devil i love metal!
Check this riff it's fucking tasty
I'm the devil i can do what i want,
whatever i got I'm gonna flaunt,
there's never been a rock off that I've ever lost
i cant wait to take Kage back to hell
I'm gonna fill him with my hot demon gel
I'll make him squeal like my scarlet pimpernel

[JB] Noooooo!
c'mon Kage bring the thunder
[KG] there's just no way that we can win,
that was a masterpiece.
[JB] listen to me
[KG] he rocks too hard because he's not a mortal man
[JB] goddamn-it Kage,
he gonna make you his sex slave,
you're gonna gargle mayonnaise
unless we bust a massive monster mamma-jam.
[KG] dude, we've been through so much shit,
[JB] deactivated lasers with my dick
[BOTH] now its time to blow this fucker down!
[JB] C'mon Kage now it's time to blow doors down
[KG] I hear you Jables now it's time to blow doors down
[JB] Light up the stage cause its time for a showdown
[KG] We'll bend you over then we'll take you to brown town
[BOTH] Now we've got to blow this fucker down
[KG] He's gonna rape me if we do not blow doors down
[JB] C'mon Kage cause it's time to blow doors down
[KG] Oh we'll piledrive ya, it's time for the smackdown
[JB] Hey anti-christ-er, Beelzeboss,
we know your weakness our rocket-sauce
we rock the casbah, and blow your mind
we will defeat you, for all mankind
you hold the scepter,
we hold the key
you are the devil,
we are the D [18x]

[Beelz]
You guys are fuckin' lame. Come on Kage, You're coming with me.
Taste my lightning fuckers!

[Tenacious D:]

[JB] From whence you came you shall remain,
until you are complete again

Beezleboss is awesome. That's one of the few things they've done that I liked.

The only other good thing about that movie ws Tim Robbins.

2. For a joke band, the humor is often, well, pretty weak.

I don't care how great they are as musicians, as TD, they're weak musically.

John Denver used to have a stable of some of the most talented studio musicians you could have behind him, and he still sounded like John Denver.
