Jack Black Just Joined TikTok With An Epic Dancing Video That Is So Peak Jack Black We Could Cry

Like Instagram before it, and Vine and Twitter before that, (and Facebook and MySpace before those), the newest social media platform, TikTok, has taken over our feeds with the kind of wildly creative videos and expertly hilarious memes we so desperately need right now.

And as with all those other platforms, TikTok recently made the jump from teens and young adults to the celebrity set.


Which leads us to today's story. Actor Jack Black has brought his brand of wacky (and, it must be said, extremely agile) comedy to TikTok and it is a blessing for these times!

Like most of us, Black is heeding orders to quarantine and it seems confinement has once again led to creative brilliance. Black logged onto TikTok this week and served us an epic dance routine, to which he gave the title "#StayAtHome Dance" on his Instagram.

And, well, it's everything we could have ever dreamed of.

As retired NBA player Rex Chapman put it on Twitter, it's a tiny "silver-lining" to all these dark clouds of late.

What's astounding about this is the grace and agility with which Jack Black moves.

As USA Today's Nate Scott so aptly put it:

"He also has that rare agility you occasionally see in bigger fellas (Chris Farley had it), which allows him to switch between bumbling doofus and graceful ballerina and back again, all in a moment or two."

Truly, the mind reels.

His graceful opening pirouette makes one wonder, "Is Jack Black secretly a classically trained dancer?"

And those kicks!

Who among us could ever manage kicks that high in our entire lifetimes (and at Black's 50 years of age no less) let alone off the cuff in a TikTok video?

But the true zenith of Black's comedic and choreographic skills is the moment he turns a fumbled cowboy hat into a winkingly hokey joke and then turns that into a series of expertly executed leaps and jumps.

Is Jack Black secretly one of the celebrated "Ten lords a-leaping" immortalized in "The 12 Days of Christmas"?

Your fave could never.

Naturally, the internet is in love with TikTok's latest star.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams Roasted After Viewers Notice Awkward Detail In His 'Morning Routine' Video

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was widely mocked after he shared a video on social media of his "morning routine," with time stamps showing his activities—only for viewers to notice that a standard black-and-white wall clock visible in part of the video showed a very different time.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
