  • Jack was an assassin that Hitler was planning to hire to kill Justin Bieber during Operation: Destroy Bieberdom . However, when Jack showed up for his interview, he proceeded to chop down Dolfy's door using an ax, despite being clearly told that the door was unlocked. Hitler was very annoyed by this, and therefore declined to hire Jack. His character is parodied in Hitler's Shining, where Hitler went through a very similar experience to Jack Torrence.
  • Jonathan "Johnny" Daniel "Jack" Torrance was the main protagonist turned main antagonist in the 1980 horror-thriller film The Shining, adapted from the novel of the same name written by Stephen King. Jack was a writer and a redeemed alcoholic who lived with his wife Wendy and his son Danny, who wielded a special psychic power known as "the Shining".

Lleva a su familia a un Hotel, pero es conducido por el hotel, por el bloqueo del escritor y por los espíritus a beber. Jack se enoja y quiere matar a Wendy, Danny y Dick Hallorann con un mazo de roque. Representa en la realidad al propio escritor Stephen King, quien en esos momentos se encontraba casado y con hijos y sentía la necesidad de recurrir al alcohol y a las drogas para poder inspirarse.
