Why does the dude on 'Workaholics' try so gallantly to behave like Jack Black?

    His forced demeanor is really hampering my ability to enjoy this program ..I'd prefer they replace him with a more genuine, less forced character.

    He's far less twitchy and doesn't use facial exclamations nearly as much

    If you're implying that I'm seeing something that isn't there, you should go back & watch again... He's got all the voice inflections, sayings, & mannerisms plagiarized almost perfectly... Its obvious that's he's spent a great deal of time studying Jack Blacks body of work

    He's totally trying to be him

    In honor of the upcoming Boon History month. Spike has been a tremendous patron & role model for the African-Boonican community

    If you don't see it then why didn't you have to ask which guy he meant?

    The show does provide some decent laughs... I just have a hard time not focusing on the plagiarizer

    I think the simplest solution to your conundrum is to stop watching that piece of shit show.

    I never noticed it until this last episode, then only in the cubicle scene when he's 'cussing' alot. ( I don't watch a lot of Jack Black, sorry)
    Thanks for almost ruining it anyway.
