Yeah for sure. I've noticed this technique before in some great comedians - for example Andy Kaufman and Will Ferrell. In fact - that was what really got me about Kaufman's bits - the utter lack of blinking. I love how it makes the character seem possessed by some personality outside their own self. I also think that when we are in conversation with other people, we innately calculate when to blink based on when they blink.

So of course when that character doesn't blink it genuinely f*cks with out sense of balance in our communication - In the case of comedy, it's hilarious. Maybe in the case of a physical confrontation, it would be threatening instead.. |
