Jack Black to host this year's Spike Video Game Awards

destructoid.com — Jack Black is one of those guys people have a very distinct reaction to -- they either love him or loathe him. Looking at the picture above, it's sort of a snap to figure out why. Therefore, I am not sure if I bring you good or bad tidings when I say that he has been formally announced as the host of this year's Spike Video Game Awards.

    or I'll eat your soul.
  • silverzone, on 12/03/2008, -2/+24I'm all down with video games and stuff, but None of these things are ever any good. They just end up being over the top cheezy. Remember that time G4 did it that time with Wilmer Valdarama? When they rolled him in on a giant Katamari Damaci Ball. Yeah I rest my case.
  • ifruit, on 12/03/2008, -2/+23***** pushups?
  • dafragsta, on 12/03/2008, -4/+22I understand if you guys don't think he's cool because of some of his movies, but having been a Tenacious D fan since the late 90s, I can't help but enjoy his shenanigans, even if he reminds me of a guy I used to work with that I absolutely hated.
  • inactive, on 12/03/2008, -1/+18I'm a Jack Black fan, but the Spike Video Game Awards are a complete joke anyway, so what's the difference? They just make up random categories like, "Best Military Game" and "Best Cast". WTF?!
  • Zervaman, on 12/03/2008, -5/+19This is a song for the ladies, but fellas listen closely
    You don't always have to ***** her hard, in fact sometimes that's not right to do
    Sometimes you've got to make some love, and ***** give her some smoochies too
    Sometimes ya got to squeeze, sometimes you've got to say please
    Sometime you've got to say hey, I'm gonna ***** you softly
    I'm gonna screw you gently
    I'm gonna hump you sweetly
    I'm gonna ball you discreetly
    And then you say hey I bought you flowers
    And then you say wait a minute sally
    I think I got somethin in my teeth could you get it out for me
    That's ***** teamwork
    Whats your favorite posish? That's cool with me
    It's not my favorite but I'll do it for you
    Whats your favorite dish?
    Im not gonna cook it but ill order it from Zanzibar!
    And then I'm gonna love you completely
    And then I'll ***** ***** you discreetly
    And then I'll ***** bone you completely
    But then I'm gonna ***** you hard
  • TheKitchenSinkX, on 12/03/2008, -2/+16The games show is crap. They pick the dumbest *****. It's going to be a bunch of sports and "frat boy" games. Ugh.
  • plhearn, on 12/03/2008, -0/+12Kage, get the scientists working on the tube technology. Chop chop!
  • inactive, on 12/03/2008, -5/+14Should have gotten Obama.
  • mattwalton56, on 12/03/2008, -1/+10One's all you really need.
  • Chebsi, on 12/03/2008, -1/+9Don't forget Best Game powered by Mountain Dew (or something like that).
  • PlasmaSnk, on 12/03/2008, -1/+9And they played the best game in the world and it just so happened to be, the best run in the world, it was the best one in the worldddd
  • OzzieAlThor, on 12/03/2008, -5/+13If I had to choose between watching a Video Game Award show or a Video Game Award show with Jack Black then I would choose to read a damn book.
  • LOGNATR, on 12/03/2008, -2/+10Yet another reason not to watch Halo/Madden Jerk-Off Fest 2008.
  • shadowkin, on 12/03/2008, -2/+9Maybe we'll get some info on Brutal Legend...
  • dante88, on 12/03/2008, -1/+7Mimes don't talk..
  • tdwtomcat, on 12/03/2008, -1/+7And waking up at the crack of noon.
  • Elranzer, on 12/03/2008, -1/+7Best RPG goes to... HALO
  • Coffeedemon, on 12/03/2008, -1/+7If its anything like previous years it will be a celebration of every brain dead gaming stereotype and whatever game had the biggest marketing campaign will get game of the year.
  • athinnes, on 10/01/2009, -1/+6Glad to see JB isn't winning over the Digg 35 year old virgin demographic...
  • AcidVision, on 12/03/2008, -0/+5i would rather take an acid bath than watch the vga's, but jack black is a demigod.
  • RobotBuddha, on 12/03/2008, -1/+6I really wish he'd just get back to doing Tenacious D stuff. I actually liked his acting up until school of rock came out, ever since then it seems like his entire aim is "40 year olds will think he's mildly pushing the line in a way they like."
  • athinnes, on 10/01/2009, -4/+9Thanks for the honesty. We all appreciate it.
  • 1ofMany, on 12/03/2008, -1/+6I guess we won't find out this year...
  • OverZealousHobo, on 12/03/2008, -0/+4if you take life too seriously, than jack black, chris farly, and will ferrell make almost no sense at all...i'm kinda glad i don't take life too seriously...


  • adamc7, on 12/03/2008, -0/+4CRAP, I was hoping for Courtney Love.
  • darthgoat, on 12/03/2008, -2/+6If the D plays, I'll watch. If not forget it.
  • dragongrrl, on 12/03/2008, -2/+6thanks for digging this up. i've never watched the Spike VGAs. is it worth watching with or without JB? (ps I love JB and Tenacious D)
  • plhearn, on 12/03/2008, -0/+4Yea people with more than half a brain hate physical comedy
  • elryanoo, on 12/03/2008, -1/+4Can he get shot by Bruce Willis in real life please.
  • palebird, on 12/03/2008, -1/+4....they do when they're off duty.
  • Jarasmen, on 12/03/2008, -1/+4And the powerslide.
  • macavity13, on 12/03/2008, -1/+4Zzzzzzzzz....
  • Chebsi, on 12/03/2008, -1/+4I think it was basically just an excuse to give self-proclaimed "epic masterpiece" Halo 3 an award.
  • MeatMountain, on 12/03/2008, -6/+8Jables rules
  • JollyDumple, on 12/03/2008, -0/+2Except for the Tenacious D movie.
  • somedirtbag, on 12/03/2008, -1/+3You mean Shenanigans?

    You're talking about Shenanigans, right?
  • acero47, on 12/03/2008, -0/+2I'd choose to play a video game.
  • tawnos, on 12/03/2008, -18/+20Not a big fan of him to be honest.
  • solidwhetstone, on 12/03/2008, -0/+2And we played the first thing that came to our heads...just so happen to be- the best games in the world- they were the best games in the world.
  • MBostonS, on 12/03/2008, -0/+2People actually watch the Spike Video Game Awards? Weird...
  • tymme, on 12/03/2008, -1/+3Even Jack Black can't resurrect my chances of watching them. the only thing they could do to make it any worse would be move it to G4.
  • Testiculese, on 12/03/2008, -1/+3x2 - Jack Black was never funny.
  • kiwi2008, on 12/03/2008, -2/+4Tribute!!

    His movies are nowhere near as awesome as the Tenaciousness to the D.
  • sleestakslayer, on 12/03/2008, -1/+3Pph! How about another Tenacious D flick instead?
  • MazdaEric, on 12/03/2008, -3/+5so who won't be watching the vg awards this year? ((raises hand))
  • colouredlights, on 12/04/2008, -1/+2"blog.myspace.com" = no
  • inactive, on 12/04/2008, -0/+1It should make you feel better to know that the Music Awards and the Emmys are just as retarted.
  • LilRabbitFooFoo, on 12/04/2008, -0/+1Spike? Who watches Spike anymore? Once Hollywood writers and producers discovered that Spike TV had a nasty habit of stealing ideas and pitches, no one wanted to work with them anymore. No wonder they are so creatively bankrupt now.
  • SHUUTOBI, on 12/03/2008, -1/+2This is the worst excuse for a gaming awards show.
