There's nothing quite as terrifying as Jack Black swinging around a giant battle axe, as evidenced by episode 4 of Brutal Thoughts with Jack Black.

Eddie Riggs wields a battle axe with skill and grace in Brutal Legend. Jack Black, on the other hand, kills the boom operator. Are you kids out there getting the picture? Just because it's okay for a video game character to run around killing things with stylized medieval weaponry doesn't mean you should. The only time you should wildly swing around bladed weapons is under controlled circumstances. Or when you're really drunk. Let this be a lesson.
