> The Dead Island 2 trailer had a voice at the end that sounded JUST like you, not sure if you're allowed to confirm, but you could totally deny it, is it you?

> I’m looking it up right now…Dead Island 2 trailer. I’m just going to watch this real quick. Is this a video game? Oh my god. It’s a video game. Very real looking! Yeah, it’s not me, but now I’m so into this. I can’t stop watching a trailer. This is not a trailer, this is a short film. Holy shit, is he a zombie? I want to see if they got a voice impersonator. Oh my god. This is like the best trailer ever. It’s almost over guys. That’s infuriating. Yeah, I can definitely guarantee that’s a Jack Black impersonator. It sounds like the dude that plays me in the Kung Fu Panda TV show.

Replying to a redditor:

> Hey Jack! You have any crazy on-set stories? Preferably concerning Ben Stiller? He's doing an AMA later, and it would be brilliant if I could call him out on something freaking Jack Black just told me.

> Yeah, when we were doing Tropic Thunder, I had to ride on the back of a water buffalo, and the water buffalo went crazy and started bucking like a bronco and threw me off it’s back.
>
> So, it bucked me off and I went flying 15 feet through the air and landed between two giant boulders. Obviously, I was shaken and a little traumatized, and Ben Stiller said, ‘Jack, can you get back on there and do it again please?’
>
> You know, he’s one of the best directors I’ve ever worked with but, uh, there is no way in God’s good earth I was getting back on that beast. And, yeah, I hope to have him half-naked strapped to a water buffalo some day.

Replying to a redditor:

> Jack, I'm a 46 year old dude, newly single, no kids. But, after being tied down for 10 years, I find I've got no game left with the ladies. How can I get my groove back?

> 46 and single and no game. What can you do... diet and exercise? There’s nothing as attractive as passion. Get passionate about something and the love will follow.

Replying to a redditor:

> Hi Jack, what do you consider your most badass moment?

> When Tenacious D played in Germany for the first time it was in front of like 100,000 screaming people. We went on before Metallica, doesn’t get more badass than that. And right before we went onstage we had a band prayer. We put our heads in the center and shared all of our dreams and looked in each other’s eyeballs. There was a silent understanding. We went out and performed like it was the last day of our lives.
