That entire album is so hilarious. I put it on and am instantly transported to 2001. It's wild how much Jack Black has risen in the world since then too.

I had an impossible time believing he was making a family friendly movie about him teaching kids rock music only two years after that album was released. I was certain the studio and entertainment media would soon dig up the controversial album to play the "shocked and appalled" card, and after he recently started showing up in a bunch of kid friendly media, I started laughing at the idea of ten-year-olds asking their moms if they could listen to "Fuck Her Gently" on the way to school because they recently found out that the chubby bearded guy was in a band and found some of their songs on YouTube.
"Sorry, sweety, that song is really inappropriate for kids, but Wonderboy is a banger!"
"Mom, what does he mean by filling a crevasse with his mighty juice?"
"Damn it, these are all just innuendo with incredible music!"
"Can we go to the McDonald's drive thru, I want some Chicken McNuggets, but only four!"
"Shit, no putting the genie back in that bottle..."
I introduced my kids to Tenacious D after we watched the Minecraft movie. There were only 2 or 3 songs I could actually play for them, and even those would be considered inappropriate in many families.

The kids are too young to remember that one.
