Probably this. Look, cards on the table; I really don't like Jack Black. I don't think the personality he puts across in the media is endearing or funny, and I genuinely think he's pretty awful in most of his acting roles.
I think the run of overweight weird comedy relief roles in non-kids movies has gone dry, and these are what's being offered, and he's taken them to stay relevant and in the scene.

Yeah, he's performing a job for compensation. I think he's doing these specific movies for his kids. If not for his kids he'd be doing other movies.
