Black's comedic style combines many key elements from both sides of the traditional [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine|double act]]. Black typically begins a skit in which he presents an earnest introduction to a premise or subject that quickly reveals itself to be flawed or fundamentally ludicrous. Black then switches completely to a far-extreme caricature of human emotion. His would-be [[The Straight Man|straight-man]] Gass often functions to trigger these outbursts. When appearing in a movie that turns out to be a flop, [[Rule of Sean Connery|he even manages to make it bearable through his appearances alone]]- his role as the villainous bully in ''[[The Neverending Story (Film)|The Neverending Story]] III'' was claimed by many to be the only good thing about it. |
