Blue has cerebral palsy,^[1] specifically classified as spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy, and many of his jokes center on living with his disability, how he deals with it, and how other people view him.^[2] Blue appeared on Last Comic Standing to 'make people aware of the fact that people with disabilities can make an impact.'^[2] He coined the term 'palsy punch' during his final set of the final round of the show, when he said that the palsy punch is effective in a fight because 'first of all, they don't know where the punch is coming from, and second of all, neither do I.' One of Blue's competitors said he has 'an unreasonable amount of likability' while another of his competitors said 'he is just a good guy'.^[5] Blue also joked that signing an autograph takes 45 minutes and that to write down his phone number he has to find a 'big ol' stack of paper.'
