Blackie Greene

[MattGriffin 0]

I really enjoy the show, but the guy who plays Blackie Greene almost makes it so I. Cant. Listen. Could he turn it down to 11 or what?

I seriously just made an account and the first thing I was going to say was how much Blackie Green rules when I found this post. Blaine's faux-mercials are funnier than shit and his character is starting the dominate the crap out of folks. Gotta say, I love me some Blackie Green.

Blackee Green can sometimes lockpick a door, but Blackee Green can always wipe shit on a door

Man he's got some wicked charisma right? What is it, uhm oh yeah 19!

The shows are 100% better when Blackee (Blaine) has it cranked up.

I mean, yeh, the guy can be funny, but I can't believe I'm the only one who tires of him sucking all the oxygen out of the room, Gilbert Godfrey style (sometimes while doing a Godfrey impression even.) I think it speaks to my criticism that a lot of the time, the other players just ignore him.

mad love for Blackie!

You are wrong. Objectively.

[BroccoliRob 78]

He's not sucking oxygen out of the room, he's filling dead air while someone is flipping through books or character sheets trying to find a random piece of info. What Blackee Green does is a public service.

[choochoo_the_wonder_slut 740]

It's physically impossible to dislike someone with a 19 charisma. Does not compute.

[Surly Captain 131]

Blackee rules - he had me in tears today.

[NickArnold 74]

Yeah, I think its just you man. With Gerry gone Blaine really stepped up the awesome.

[MattGriffin 0]

Incredible.

this is so not what i thought a thread titled blackie greene woulda been about... I'm sorry you don't find Blaine's performances funny, but I for one enjoy the shit out of him on this show and wouldn't want him to change it at all!

[jwcrummett 35]

I love the charisma schtick. I'll admit I'm a bit burnt out on the "flex, flex, flex" reflex bit. Still though I love Blackie and Blaine's ads. I wanted to start a thread for product requests for him. I swear Flaming Hot Cheetos was going to be my first request and he just nailed that one and then some.

[MattGriffin 0]

Oddly, I guess, I do chuckle everytime at the reflex bit. The commercials are usually funny, it's when he's trying too hard that bugs me.

[choochoo_the_wonder_slut 740]

He was pretty out of control in the first episode but since then I think he's mellowed.

[Pants Masterson 81]

I'd have agreed with you off the top, mrg, but I think three things have happened:

 

- The other players, some of whom aren't "performers" in the same way as Brian and Blaine, have gotten more comfortable and are getting more active and engaged on the mic;

- Blaine has indeed dialed it back a bit;

- His sense of humour is growing on me.

 

It doesn't bug me nearly as much as it did. Now he's kind of at the level of a friend who is great 90% of the time, and 10% of the time you sort of wince and think he's really working too hard at it, but the 90% is still awesome so you just live with the 10%.

His amazingly obscure references to old stuff that my thirty-something-ass has no idea about are what I love, too. There was that one time he was talking about some famous bear from the 1930's or something... coco something... I had no idea what he was talking about, but I was crying, probably because of Brian's reaction.

One of these days I'm going to design an f'n Charisma of 19 tattoo and not get it!

[MattGriffin 0]

After listening to the latest episode, Pants, I think I'm in agreement with you. The Cracker Barrell bit made me lolz, and he was tuned down. Jesus, maybe his 19 Charisma just finally won me over. I do have diarrheaidiance, a little.

[Silly Lacy 102]

I nearly had to pull my car over during the Cracker Barrell ad. My BF and I once went to one and the only black person there was sitting on the porch in one of the rocking chairs. When they brought him chocolate milk I was informed that we don't eat at Cracker Barrell anymore.

[schadenfreudian 27]

Blackie (and Blaine) fucking rules.

That is all.

[Foltaire 333]

Shows like these are normally ruined for me by a single participant I can't stand, but I can honestly say I think all the players on NP are hilarious and likeable. It's an anomaly.
