Are they just Tenacious D but smarter?

No.

Tenacious D are a Ween rip-off if anything.

No they're TMBG but high

They sound nothing alike

They both do shitty parodies of styles (Motorhead, country, etc)

>>75101321
Yes.

>Implying 12 Golden Country Greats wasn't one of the greatest country albums to come out in the 90s

Ween = Spongebob seasons 1-3 + the movie
Tenacious D = Spongebob seasons 4 and onward

Ween are the Coen Brothers, Tenacious D are Friedberg and Seltzer

All of their country efforts are genuine. They aren't parodies, they're just their take on the genre with classic Ween lyrics.

Ween isn't a parody band. Anytime they do a song in another artists style it's as a tribute to them, not in an attempt to parody them. Anybody who thinks Ween is just a joke band simply hasn't actually taken the time to listen to their work. Ween always puts effort into making great music, even if it seems silly, the songs are legitimately good.

Tenacious D isn't at all like Ween
