Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny/YMMV


 * Alternative Character Interpretation: Is Jack Black an Iconic, if hammy, baddass who does what he does for the rock? Or is he just fighting for his daddy's love the only way he can, through music, as suggested by "Baby" and "Sasquache"?
 * Awesome Music: The main reason to watch this movie. Especially "Beelzeboss".
 * For a non-Tenacious D example, "Agnus Dei" the song playing when Jables gets his first guitar
 * Broken Aesop: The film starts off with Jables being ranted at by his fundamentalist Christian dad, who claims that rock and roll is evil and the work of Satan, to which JB says it's "not the Devil's work, it's magical and rad". The rest of the movie is spent searching for a pick that makes you an awesome rock star through the power of the Devil.
 * Complete Monster: Satan, of course.
 * Fridge Brilliance:
 * OK, OK.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: Jables wears the Pick around his neck and starts to sing. On the first high note he hits, the microphone bursts into flames. They call it "Master Exploder" for a reason, as you can see a few seconds later.
 * After getting a spanking from his dad, getting all his rock posters ripped to shreds and getting grounded, Jables prays to a poster of Ronnie James Dio(which survived being ripped to shreds by not being visible behind his room door). DIO ANSWERS(the awesomeness starts at 2:12).
 * Straw Man Has a Point: So, wait... rock and roll actually does come from the Devil?! JB's dad was right!
 * Considering it is Tenacious D, this was likely entirely intentional. That's probably part of the joke... JB's dad is an asshole, but he's not wrong.
 * So Bad It's Good: One of the very few examples that manages to pull this off intentionally.
