    Yeah, Walk Hard is dope, but it’s a bit more grounded and obviously meant as a parody of the rockstar mythology.

    The Big Short is possibly the most serious Adam McKay has been in a film. Like, it’s a dramedy, but I’d say it’s a lot more elevated than something like Anchorman, for example.

    I would say Tenacious D is less grounded and looser than these two, so from that perspective I can understand why you didn’t enjoy it.

      Well, Airplane and Naked Gun are surely less grounded than Tenacious D, and I love those. Like I said, I don’t know that I can articulate this down to something measurable. The company I watched it with didn’t think too highly of it either. But I do still pull up those opening and closing songs on YouTube from time to time.

        I don’t think anyone is going to argue Pick of Destiny is funnier than these two perfectly put together joke machines, TBH. Not even Jack Black would.
