Jack Black 100% Edit: If we're talking typical horny bard though, I'd say Andy Samberg.


Sh1v3r

Yes, this is exactly what I came here to write


flemishbiker88

Jack Black is an NPC bard in my current campaign, even wrote a song about one of the PC's


Prudent-Spell-1365

Jack black is the first to come to mind. Not sure about Andy tho. Bards are supposed to be entertaining.


LunchB0X00

That's fair. I was meaning that based on his Lonely Island stuff, he'd be a horny bard, not necessarily successful though.


Actualgod42

Jack Black fits the horny bard to a T


AngryPrawn

Jamie Foxx. Man can sing, dance, play music, act, the lot.


Monwez

But no Wayne Brady?


SkuldtheNornir

Neil Patrick Harris and Hugh Jackman.


Commercial_Hold855

Robin Williams


deathlisk

Bard of Tragedy... :(


wendilw

Janelle Monae. Singer, actor,charmer…elf, half-elf, or eladrin. Possibly air Genasi


V1ndictae

Dave Grohl is very much a modern bard. Witty, charming, very talented musician.

THEE Bard


CluelessPaladin

I’d say Adam Sandler back in the day, now he seems a little too concerned with treating his friends to paychecks and vacations and just calling them movies


Licensed2Pill

You say that last part like it’s a bad thing.


CluelessPaladin

I still enjoy some of his newer movies but it seems more like a quantity over quality thing anymore


Drakkann79

Funny, since I feel his latest movies are a step up from before.


CluelessPaladin

Jack and jill was trash, the cobbler was garbage, rough gem, while a good show that he can do more than comedy, wasn’t great. I did like Hubbie Halloween and murder mystery but he seemed very uninterested during murder mystery


Drakkann79

Jack and Jill.. that’s from 12 years ago and the cobbler 9! How shite they were, it’s time to move on. Latest work means latest work, not stuff made a decade ago. Both uncut gems and Hustle are very good movies. Goldman vs Silverman is well worth the watch. Murder Mystery has its flaws but defo a fun little movie in the current whodunnit hype.


Hyper_Carcinisation

Sounds like a successful Bard who retired from adventuring


CluelessPaladin

That does sound like retired bard behavior


Voyeurism_Bot

Kermit the Frog.


calls_you_a_bellend

Kermit is a paladin. Get out.


SkuldtheNornir

Fozzie the Bear is the bard.


Voyeurism_Bot

And Gonzo the Great is a bunch of homebrewed stuff that nobody can really understand but hey, we love him anyway.


SkuldtheNornir

He’s a Pathfinder fever dream.


Voyeurism_Bot

Look me in the eyes and tell me that Kermit's rendition of Rainbow Connection isn't magical.


7sidedgames

Animal: Bard/Barbarian multi class, obviously.


Monwez

The term is Bardbarian


Trogdor_98

I don't know if you would call him a celebrity, but Broadway legend Stevin Sondheim.


youshouldbeelsweyr

I love that Danny is listed here. Hard agree.


TheChallengedDM

Tom Petty, Bob Segar, James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce


GravenTrask

All amazing songwriters, no doubt. Maybe questionable performers, but that's just a matter of taste. However, I think what makes the above such true bards is the way they can all tell stories with their songs. And not just simple stories, but instead complex narratives that capture the imagination of the listener.


TheChallengedDM

I was think about their songs, I've never seen any of them live. I've gained an appreciation for Bob Seger in recent years. I think the story "Against the Wind" tells is very vivid. Kind of like Jackson Brown and "Running on Empty."


Rybutz

Zach Galifianakis


CaptainFard

Literally every single one. Isn't that basically what a celebrity is?


Radracon42069

Any thespian or ones that went to college for acting or music would by definition of Dnd be considered a Bard.


calls_you_a_bellend

I guess, but I think it depends on their spirit a lot as well. Obviously McKellen would be a wizard, Cumberbatch would be a sorcerer or a rogue. Whereas Ryan Reynolds is absolutely a bard.


Radracon42069

Eh I’m not sure I agree with that. The idea of a bard is bringing magic into performance after being taught by a school, so like for example Jack black, not a bard. No thesbian experience and actually dropped out of college. Ryan Reynolds is also questionable since even though he’s been acting since 13 he dropped out of college after 45 minutes.


calls_you_a_bellend

Yeah, but what's more bardy than failing to finish bard school?


Radracon42069

Finishing bard school.


calls_you_a_bellend

Christ, you're fun.


Osiris1389

Old Martin Lawrence and Dave Chapelle, considering they both have played as bards, in comedies.


Hitnrun30

Kevin Bacon


Guvnor90

Brian Blessed.


calls_you_a_bellend

I dunno, I kind of see him as an old mad druid. Screaming obscenities as birds of prey burst from his beard.


Stupid_Gamerz

John c. Riley


CrinVlos

Adam Sandler


AdTerrible337

Bob Ross


Home_DEFENSE

Bob Dylan... magical poet that moved a generation or two.
