* DevelopmentHell: In 2011, it was announced that the original performers would be staring [[TheMovie a feature film]], ''Blue Man Group: Mind Blast'', where the Blue Men would enter the mind of a creatively congested man and help him express himself. That was the last anyone heard of it.

** Before the Las Vegas live show, scrolling text across monitors asks the audience to participate in various tasks. Among these are speaking "Happy Birthday" ("Don't sing. Just speak."), and "making that noise they used to make on Arsenio Hall".

* DoubleEntendre: "Please give us our balls back." The Las Vegas production, which was revised in 2012 to include the "Shake It" segment, has run with this double entendre in magazine ads and posters: "''Blue Man Group'': Now with Balls".

** In 2012, the Las Vegas production updated this segment with giant "[=GiPads=]" that the Blue Men "flip" through. One pad has "Twit that Lit!" (''really'' condensed versions of classic literature), another mock ads, and the last facts about the increased role of technology in people's lives.

* TheMole: In the audience! During some concerts, a member of the BMG's crew will be planted into the audience with the express purpose of shouting "FREEBIRD!" during the concert. The band will then start playing the beginning guitar riffs of "Freebird".

* CoverVersion: "White Rabbit" by JeffersonAirplane, "I Feel Love" by DonnaSummer and, in concerts, "Baba O'Riely" by TheWho and "One Of These Days" by PinkFloyd.

* TheRival: The Orlando, Florida production is Universal Orlando's answer to Creator/CirqueDuSoleil's ''Theatre/LaNouba'' at nearby [[DisneyThemeParks Walt Disney World]].

* SorryBillyButYouJustDontHaveLegs: Among the requirements to be a Blue Man are to be between 5'10" and 6'1" with an athletic build. The others may be used for the green glow-in-the-dark musicians that sit in a dark balcony.

This group provides examples of:

* {{Trash Can Band}}/{{Everything is an Instrument}}: These guys make instruments out of PVC pipes, fiberglass boat antennae (Airpoles), and whatever else they can think of.

* {{Naked Blue People}}[=/=]{{Amazing Technicolor Population}}: The former is subverted because the Blue Men wear black head-to-toe.

* StuffyOldSongsAboutTheButtocks: "Shake Your Euphemism," which actually uses the word "buttocks" as one of the many, [[OverlyLongGag MANY]] other euphemisms for the human posterior.

* {{Numerological Motif}}[=/=]{{Rule of Three}}: Except for the original Blue Man Group performance, "The Funeral for the Eighties", there have always been three Blue Men. This is because this is the smallest number for a group to have an outsider, which many of their acts and sketches revolve around. [[spoilers: They do have others behind stage to use their limbs for some impossible stretching or bodies to fake teleportation]] and there are three dudes hidden in a dark balcony that wear completely black clothes with some glow-in-the-dark green straps on them.
