[[Blue Man Group]] is a creative organization founded by Chris Wink, Matt Goldman and Phil Stanton. The organization produces theatrical shows and concerts featuring music, comedy and multimedia; recorded music and scores for film and television; television appearances for shows such as ''The Tonight Show'', ''Las Vegas'', ''Scrubs'', ''FETCH! with Ruff Ruffman'' and ''Arrested Development'', and a children's museum exhibit, "Making Waves".
 
All of the organization's appearances star a trio of performers called Blue Men, who appear to have blue skin and no voice, hair or ears. The original founding Blue Men still perform occasionally, but they have since then taken on administrative roles in the company. Because of the success of Blue Man Group, a parent company called Blue Man Productions was created, which produces all the Blue Man Group shows in the world.
 
They have released two studio albums, ''Audio'' and ''The Complex'', and one live album, ''How To Be A Megastar Live!''

This group provides examples of:
* [[The Adjectival Man]]/[[The Man Is Sticking It to the Man]]
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: "It's Time to Start" parodies rock concerts by explaining what rock concert tropes the audience should carry out, ranging from the realistic ("Rock Concert Movement #1, the basic head bob", and "#2, the one-armed fist pump") to the ridiculous ("#4, the behind-the-head leg stretch", which the Blue Men proceed to actually do). #3 ("the up-and-down jumping motion") receives a step-by-step explanation, though in live performances it's been replaced with #10 ("getting a closer look at the audience") which involves footage from a miniature camera supposedly being shoved down an audience member's throat.
