Jack Black promises 'games, food, and life' in his new YouTube series
If you've ever thought "I need more Jack Black in my life," prepare for the best news ever.
The Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle star and more famous half of Tenacious D (sorry, Kyle) has launched his own YouTube channel, Jablinski Games. According to Black's welcome video, the channel will serve up new episodes every Friday with a focus on "games, food, and life."
You know, the important stuff.
Black promises an outcome that's "gonna be bigger than Ninja [and] bigger than PewDiePie." Given Ninja's bizarre attitude toward fellow streamers who are women and PewDiePie's penchant for racism, the bar Black has set for himself is pretty low.
He's probably talking about subscriber counts, of course. Ninja is more of a Twitch streamer, but he's got a 20-million-strong following on YouTube. And PewDiePie's unending string of "oops, I was racist again!" moments hasn't cost him his platform; he's currently just shy of 80 million subscribers on YouTube.
Here's hoping Black can achieve his own success without rebranding himself as a terrible person.
He'll have help. The video's description notes that Black's son, Sam, is handling all the production. The actor notes in a comment that "there is no production behind this" and it's "all my son."
If he's sticking to the trailer's "every Friday" promise, Black's first full episode should be launching on Friday, Dec. 28.
