Michael Green a.k.a. Pickleboy (born June 2, 1987) is one of the two main protagonists of the series, cameraman, and mastermind behind the success of The Angry Grandpa Show. He is the son of Angry Grandpa and Tina, youngest of the four siblings, Charles, Jennifer, and Kim. and also Bridgette's Boyfriend. He has a temporary alter-ego named Michelle.
Michael began filming Angry Grandpa during Christmas 2007 on another account which was unfortunately suspended by YouTube for an apparent "Terms of Service" violation. He has made an account on Break.com and continued the popular series on TheAngryGrandpaShow channel on YouTube. He's also made different accounts for different types of videos like vlogs, his music, and ads. Such as his channel (KidBehindACamera) and Grandpa's vlogs (GrandpasCorner) then the Main channel (TheAngryGrandpaShow). Michael Green also enjoys pranking his dad (Angry Grandpa). He films him every time he blows out on something. Sometimes Michael gets filmed by Angry Grandpa or Bridgette; but on some occasions, he asks them to stop because it apparently bothers him being filmed by other people (which is sign of hypocrisy).
Getting the name 'Pickleboy'
Michael is commonly referred to as 'Pickleboy'. It started when Angry Grandpa tried to prank him. He threw pickles at him. It backfired and failed, and Grandpa went ballistic. Pickleboy ran into the bathroom to hide. He dumped some flour on AG to stop him, but Grandpa poured the entire bottle of pickles on Michael. He was all green and gross while Charles was shouting "PICKLE BOY!! PICKLE BOY!!!". This name stuck and he's been known as Pickleboy ever since.
Personal Health & Hygiene
Shares a gene from his father, brother, and grandfather that causes him to have gray hair.
Started a diet in 2012 and for a short time appeared to have had some success, but as of now it is a complete failure as he has gotten increasingly fatter over the last several months to the point of now being flat out morbidly obese. He is always made fun of for his obesity in the comments section of his videos.
Had his Gallbladder removed in September 2012.
Michael vlogging
He admitted that he does not like to shower. In the video in which Angry Grandpa destroys his "$1,000.00 HDTV", he says he's going to move out of Angry Grandpa's old trailer. Angry Grandpa says he will help Michael pack "his bag", saying that he only has one shirt and one pair of pants. In a reflection video upon Angry Grandpa destroying his HDTV, he is wearing the same shirt as seen in a video a few days prior, where Angry Grandpa is wearing a different shirt. And when Michael does shower, he likes to play with his wrestling action figures.
He seems to only shave the beard on his face when he's asked to by fans in Q & A videos.
Despite his low socioeconomic background as well as verbal abuse from his father, Michael is surprisingly intelligent and mentally competent, but is a little overly sensitive and has cried on a few occasions.
In a video posted to KidBehindACamera in January 2014, he claims he wants to start losing weight and go on a diet. He said he will try to lose some weight if Bridgette loses some weight with him. He says since he's announcing it on video, he will try to keep up with trying to lose weight. He reportedly lost "20 pounds" by being on the diet since before Christmas 2013, with his weight being 335 pounds at the beginning of the diet. He says he runs with Bridgette every night. Since the announcement of this diet, Angry Grandpa decided he wants to help Michael lose weight by having him perform various exercises and cleaning his yard. Michael claims he weighs 350 pounds in the video where he gets a new bicycle.
Many Fans on Youtube or Facebook told him that he needs to shave his face, but he shaves whenever he feels like it.
People on the internet tend to insult Pickleboy but he isn't offended.
His attempts at dieting have so far ended in failure, as when he does start to lose weight he quickly gains it back, however he recently has stated he's trying hard to be strict with his diet, and is trying to go on routine walks with Bridgette every night to keep the weight off. He also started doing Wednesday weigh-Ins to show how his weight loss is going.
All of his fat in his body has affected his speech which makes him, according to fans, sound gay.
He has been in several relationships before Princess: first with a girl called Amanda (apparently Angry Grandpa ruined that relationship), then with a girl who Michael thinks was called Victoria (who was apparently hot) who used Michael for free hotdogs at the lawnmower races.
He also seems to never brush his teeth with yellow marks appearing all over his front teeth, resulting in him being trolled by viewers.
Wrestling
Michael showing emotion following the end of a television show.
Plays with wrestling action figures, although in a recent video Bridgette and Grandpa loaded up some of his figures and drove away with them, claiming he needed to grow up. Though in another recent video he seems to have purchased new ones.
Has been a huge pro wrestling fan his whole life, and has taken it a little too seriously at times. For instance, he was very upset when The Rock beat CM Punk at the 2013 Royal Rumble.
He has overreacted once again on the video "Fat Kid Upset over Royal Rumble 2014" when one of his favorite wrestlers has been beaten by Batista. This video was shown on the TV show @midnight.

Trivia
Aftermath of AGP's haircut prank.
During the summer of 2011, Bridgette and Michael's sister (Jennifer Green) engaged in a physical altercation. This fist fight was hinted by Jennifer on her Facebook page where a fan reportedly messaged her about the event in which Jennifer stated that "she was defending Michael and didn't fight back because Bridgette was beating her ass so hard she couldn't hit back." She also stated that she was leaving Charleston and moving back to Columbia. Jennifer later deleted/disabled her Facebook page. Bridgette was asked about this event by the same fan on Twitter, and said that she probably should have made a statement before the information "got out." She deleted those tweets shortly after the conversation. It seems as if most of Angry Grandpa's fans are unaware of this incident due a lack of requests for what actually transpired.

Before he got his Webmaster job online he worked at the Wendy's near their old trailer for years. He said it sucked and he hated it passionately. Grandpa said he would often complain about it. He claims he had also worked for Kohl's and Walmart in the past.
Says working as an intern for the online company he currently works for allowed him to stay home and film the videos of angry grandpa and start the YouTube channel. He says if he hadn't worked for free trying to get a paying position he would have had to take low paying jobs at Wendy's or Wal-Mart and wouldn't have had time to make videos of his father's outbursts.
Met Bridgette on Myspace in 2008 when she was 16 and he was 21.
On his KidBehindACamera channel, he gives post videos to Grandpa's meltdowns and pranks, as well as random videos on all sorts of things, including updates on future videos as well as stories about Grandpa growing up.
In January of 2013 he began a series if videos on his KidBehindACamera channel where his "Kid" persona became more hostile and began to act more like Angry Grandpa, in which he began angrily complaining and throwing fits over wrestling, video games not being released on their proper date or being disappointing, fast foods not tasting good and other things. These videos usually receive a very negative response from fans as some consider them to be staged or just stirring fake drama to get ad revenue. These videos usually result in him getting all sorts of hateful and insulting comments from viewers.
Moved out of Grandpa's trailer and into an apartment with Bridgette in January of 2012 after grandpa destroyed Michael's Xbox and wanted to get away from his destructive behavior.
First videotaped Grandpa during Christmas of 2007 after he got a camera as a present, and the first video he recorded was when Grandpa came into Jennifer's house and became infuriated when seeing they had opened their presents without him, he then verbally berated all of them and stormed out of the house, prompting Jennifer and her two sons to cry.
Some of his pranks have resulted in Grandpa destroying hundreds and even thousands of dollars in damages to appliances.
When he first revealed to his father he had been posting videos of him on the internet (Break.com), Angry Grandpa became enraged and threw coffee onto Michael, causing him to go into a brief rage mode and scream, "I fucking hate you!"
When their YouTube channel reached over 200,000 subscribers Grandpa and Michael both suffered humiliation videos. Michael's, titled "The Picklebath", was to sit in a kiddy swimming pool full of pickles and covered in ketchup and mustard. The highlight of the video was when a young African American boy from the neighborhood walked by, pointed at him and said, "Look at that fat kid in the pool!" This prompted Grandpa and Bridgette to burst out laughing and taunt him. The video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOzvKsveTAw
Seems to be a sloppy cleaner due to the recent videos of Angry Grandpa freaking out about how bad the apartment was when Bridgette left for a few days. Grandpa even had to rent a carpet cleaner because it stunk badly from the dogs peeing and defecating on it over the months.
He is known by his childish mannerisms and lying, rude ways to Bridgette and Grandpa, and anger issues. At times, he pranks Grandpa as revenge for something.
He doesn't have a drivers license or his own car despite being twenty-six years old, which means Bridgette or Angry Grandpa have to drive him wherever he wants to go. He revealed in this video that the reason why he doesn't drive is because he has a huge phobia of anything dangerous that could happen when driving. (Whether it being in traffic, going too fast [as Angry Grandpa did in this video], or Bridgette taking her hands off of the steering wheel in this video). He claims his brother and Angry Grandpa have tried to teach him how to drive on several occasions. After the accident with Bridgette's car, he claims he sometimes wakes up with nightmares from that incident. It was speculated by fans that he got a DUI and had his driver's license revoked or just being too lazy as possible explanations why he doesn't drive.
One of his most hated videos on YouTube is the "Fun with Silly string" in which he silly strings a picture of Jesus and calls him an asshole. In the end, the video got over 2,000 dislikes and people saying he'll be going to hell. Michael doesn't believe in Heaven, Hell, or God so he didn't care.
Angry Grandpa did a six part video series about him. In them he said that when he was a boy he kept shitting his pants and he was very dirty, he was very spoiled, he was sent to jail for causing trouble between him and Tina, he also was going to kill himself over one of his old girlfriends breaking up with him.
Whenever his favorite wrestler loses or his fans make fun of him, he gets pranked he can't take and sometimes gets even more angry than Angry Grandpa does.

He makes rap songs. Some people seem to legitimately enjoy it, while others do not.
He stated that he's trying to find a cheap affordable princess outfit for Bridgette but somehow he has enough money to buy a PlayStation 3 and new wrestling figures.
Angry Grandpa pranked him by using Michael's fake blood, a few trash bags, and a knife by thinking he murdered someone for stealing drugs from Grandpa. Michael cried and when he found out he flipped out. Some fans think the video is fake, though it's unknown.
In Mid September of 2013 he and Bridgette moved into a new house that is close to Angry Grandpa, apposed to the longer drive their old apartment sought. Michael said he will now be uploading videos more frequently now that he lives closer to him.

Some people think that he is a hypocrite, as he pranks people a lot, but complains whenever he gets prank.

He got the PlayStation 4 by buying it from a couple that didn't play video games that had won a Taco Bell contest.
He is sometimes subject to revenge by Angry Grandpa, usually due to Michael pranking him first. These instances have included when Angry Grandpa has faked heart attacks, him destroying his TV after Michael gave his hammer away, destroyed his Xbox 360 after the iMustDestroyAll pranks, faked his death after he called Michael over, pretended to destroy his PS4, and pretended to go insane when Michael tried to pretend to move in with him.
His pranks have been purposefully foiled by Bridgette by telling Grandpa beforehand.
Many fans assume that he makes a lot of money on YouTube, which may or may not be true.
He recently lost a bet with grandpa. The bet was that if anyone got pranked on April 1st, one of them had to dress like a woman.
He is known for not having a drivers license or a car. Fans kept wondering whether he is too lazy to drive or reliant on Grandpa or Bridgette to take him places. He recently stated that he has a phobia of driving. He explains that on the radio show STFU and Listen.

It could be assumed by fans that Michael has mental health issues due to Michael throwing tantrums during videos.
Ever since early 2013, his attitude has progressively gotten worse with him getting angrier way quicker; often crying and whining and being incredibly rude to Bridgette sometimes in his recent vlogs (even though Bridgette is often whiny and rude to him).
It's very rare that Michael has no eyebrows.
Michael is also friends with Jesse Ridgway the main protagonist of the vlog Youtube channel McJuggerNuggets. He and Jesse have been friends because Michael has been watching Jesse's channel and Jesse watched Michael's vlog channel KidBehindtheCamera. They have been texting each other as friends. They are both similar because they both experience with their dad's who keep on destroying their favorite devices including game systems.
When Michael yells out, "DAD" (when Grandpa destroys something) the "A" sound can be usually heard increasing.
Michael cannot meet Jesse Ridgway (McJuggerNuggets) because it is unknown if they will do an Angry Grandpa/ McJuggerNuggets crossover. However, they have met on Vidcon on June 25, 2016.
