The Green Men

I have been asked to repeat one of my most popular blogs from recent years.  Enjoy this one!
Even if you are not a hockey fan, you have just got to love these green guys. Since December 2009 , the pair have become fixtures at Vancouver Canucks hockey games. Known for taunting players on opposing teams, the green men certainly add "color" to the games. Videos of their antics have popped up on YouTube and sports highlight shows. In addition, they have their own web site, and a Facebook page with over 160,000 likes!

We will look at a news article on them and view a couple of videos.
What do you think of them? Are they amusing, nuisances or just plain funny? Do you think there is a place for other green guys in sports besides hockey? Remember to proofread!

The Green Men are pretty hilarious. And they are also pretty interesting. Although they are pretty goofy their entire goal is great.

I have personally found two new role models in life!! These guys are awesome! Yes they may be stupid and goofy but that is funny!! I have to say i am surprised that what they do i not illegal. Well i really don't know what to talk about but "hey" they are awesome!!

I think the green men, Sully and force are pretty cool guys.They are really funny and attention grabbers.I think they should also try their career in football, that would be amazing!!!!~(0-o)~

I think that the Green Men would be less annoying and more funny if they didn't try to mess with the other players. That just doesn't seem right to me and it almost feels like cheating. I think they'd be funny if they focused more on entertaining the crowds instead of trying to mess with the other player's heads. They should definetly go to other games instead of just hockey games.

I think the green men are too funny! The videos I have seen so far of the green men are hilarious and is unexplainable. I hope they continue to go to the games so I can watch more funny videos of them.

I think that the Green Men are very funny and it would be really funny to go see them at a hockey game. Sully and Force are creative guys. That would be something funny to do randomly at a game.

I think these guys are stupid. I mean who does this, where can you breath. Why would you try to do this. Who in there right mind dresses in all green. C`mon son.

coty said...

These guys are so funny. they should be fore all sports. they should be all diffrent colors.

Vonquisha Turner said...

To me the green men was ok. It was funny, but wasn't all that funny to have me weak. I think the green men do have another place for them out there some where, but they should stick with hockey.

Austin McNew said...

I think the green dudes are funny. If I were one of the guys in the penalty box I would be laughing to hard to go back into the rink or ring. (I don't know what it is called). I hope when I get older I can get a chance to go to one of their games and see them show off.

I think the Green Guys are funny. Their goals are just great. I think what they do is funny. Yes they are very goffy but, that's what makes them so great.

I think what the green men do is funny. It is kind of weird what they do, but I want to know why they do it.

I think that the "Green Men" are a good idea for entertainment at the Vancouver Canucks hockey games. They have grown as sort of a symbol and well-known figures for the Vancouvwe Canuck, in recent years. They have also become an essential part for the games, while taunting and teasing the other team.

wow these guys are pretty funny and are extremely dedicated. I can't help but wonder how so they breathe in those things.

Danielle said...

The green men are funny, but they make a fool of their selves even though nobody knows who they are. The green men make fun of the players which is funny but unneeded.

Sharod said...

I think the green guys are super funny and very out going. I think it would be pretty fun doing dumb stuff and people not know who you are. I'm sure most of the fans find their selves looking at them instead of the game lol.

Quinterra said...

I think the Green Men are funny. They seem creative and outgoing. They make the games more interesting. The suits

I honestly love them. To the fact that i actually have a blue suit myself. I enjoy going into place such as Sams Club, Lowes, and Wal-mart. I have not gotten in to much trouble for doing this kind of stuff.

I dont really get the point of the green men. I must admit they are funny. They keep the game exciting and interesting. Hockey really isn't that interesting to me but if the green men are at a game I will definitely go to a hockey game just to get a good laugh. They should have some green men at a basketball game.

Ryan said...

I think the Green Men are pretty awesome. It would be hilarious to see that at a local hockey game. Also, it's very inovative to do this. I think it's a great idea.

I got to say is wow!They some crazy people.I don't know why they did it.

Jessica Bryant said...

The Green Men are so funny and entertaining. I would love to go to a game and see them there. I would imagine how it would make the players mad though. It's funny how they get into their heads.

Kain said...

The green men bring excitment to hockey. Lets face it, Hockey isnt interesting untill somebody loses a mouth full of teeth or an apendage is missing. The green men are heroes of canada, and there isnt too much that stands out there. There should be more people in the states that go to NFL games like that.

i think the green men are pretty funny. It's pretty cool they kept their identity a secret. But i wouldn't wanna be the hockey player sent to the penalty box. I would feel so embaresed.

The green men are just plain funny. I think that the green guys have become a symbol for the Vancouver Canucks, so if anyone tries to start a green guy craze somewhere else, they'll probably get a lot of negative judgement. No one likes a copy cat, and I'm sure that anyone who tries to copy these guys is going to get a lot of DISlikes for it.

I think the Green Men are entertaining. They definitely irritate the opposing teams, which I think is smart. They seem pretty cool and have a great sense of humor. Very entertaining!

I think the green men are funny. I think it is good how they try to get the players ready and pumped up. But at the same time I really don't get the point.

They're definitely annoying even to watch for me. I think it's most annoying when somebody is doing something to get under your skin, and doing it intentionally. Those guys on the ice have worked all their lives for a spot out there and these dudes in spandex try to get them to do less than their best in front of millions.. Kinda messed up.. I think the best place for them would be in prisons where the sex offenders stay. Not to sound old fashion to all the people that think these dudes are funny.

Leslie Requena said...

The green men are pretty funny, I would actually like to go to a game where they are. I'm actually suprised that what they do is legal. They seem to be pretty athletic or at the very least have stamina to do everything that they do. I will probably look some stuff up from them later, if I get the chance to.

Jake D. said...

OH MY GOSH, I WOULD LOVE TO HVAE THAT JOB! I would always show up for work. If you can even call it that, because its probably so much fun. I think that are really funny guys, I would like to meet them some day. Many people want to grow up and be the president, but when I grow up I want to be a GREEN MAN.

$hyanne said...

I think that these guys are stupid and anniong. Ice Hockey isnt about dumb guys dressed up in green costumes. If I wanted to see that I would turn to another channel!

Sandy said...

The green men I never heard of them this is actually my first time watching them they are pretty funny.

Amanda Chappell said...

Wow, those green men are so amusing. Their tactics are interesting, and they are so funny. There is definitely a place in other sports for these cool, dancing, spontaneous creatures. I would actually watch sports if they were as entertaining as the green men.

Alexandra said...

The Green Men are funny, they act like fools. I think it gives the people a good laugh. It calms down the crowd and everything from being so mad and everything

Dylan D. said...

I think these dudes are funny. If they were getting at me I would probably be mad though. But ye I think there hilarious. There could be green guys for every sport.

Caroline Steele said...

I think the green men are stupid. I also think this is wierd! I thought some of the things the did were gross!!

Kelsey Searcy said...

These guys would be very funny, but I would never do that. It would be very interesting to see them in a game. They kind of looked stupid crawling upside-down on the glass...

Raegan Hasty said...

The Green Men, Sully and Force, are quite comical. After awhile I feel it would get repetitive and annoying. If I were a hockey player I would strongly dispise them.

Jasmine M. said...

Well, they'd definitely be entertaining to watch at a game. I don't think that the players appreciate being mocked or just the objects of amusement though. I would think they'd be great for any other sport besides hockey, especially football.

Morgan Myers said...

The Green Men are hilarious! Their goofy and fun to watch. Silly and Force are very creative.

Emma Grace said...

Green men! Haha. Eh, they're okay. Funny and Odd at the same time though! I would bet they make the players very upset.

Lindsey Ball said...

Hahahahahaha! That's awesome! These guys most have some courage to run up and dance around at angry hockey players in the penalty box. I think they should stick to hockey. I don't know why but they just seem like they fit in with this scenario. I don't know if I could say the same about this flamboyant and obnoxious behavior at a football game! Overall very funny and creative!

Annaaaaa said...

I think the Green Men are hilarious. They should do all sports! Their goal is outstanding as well.

Austin M said...

These guys are so stupid. I can't wait to see if they come up with anything new. I love how they mess with the players.

Gerald P. said...

I think the Green Men are very funny. They made me laugh multiple times. I would go to a Vancouver Canucks game just to see these guys. I don't watch hockey but I'd watch them do funny things.

Breon $ said...

The Green Men are very amusing. If I was a player in the penalty box it would take a lot not to laugh. It wouldn't be as funny if it was another sport. Hockey is really the only sport where you can get that close to the other teams players.
