New Yorkers love — and hate — Awkwafina as the voice of 7 train

Stand clear of the critics!

Queens-born actress Awkwafina became the voice of 7 train announcements Thursday to promote her new TV show — drawing impassioned mixed-reviews from straphangers.

The pre-recorded messages and quips by the scratchy-voiced rapper-cum-silver screen star, whose real name is Nora Lum, thrilled some morning commuters, while others griped that they felt bombarded by yet-another subway ad.

“This caught me off guard this morning! we have ads everywhere!! Now even for subway announcements. Ugh,” @celestialglory said.

Others said the promotion — part of a plug for the new Comedy Central show “Awkwafina is Nora from Queens” — subjects them to unwanted advertisements in a captive, pre-coffee setting.

“It’s too early for this,” one commuter groaned.

Another called it an overdose of “capitalism.”

But fans of the Queens-born actress, who became the first Asian American actress to win a Golden Globe for best actress in the best motion picture, musical or comedy category for “The Farewell,” were gobsmacked on their rides.

“i never thought the mta would bring me any delight, but @awkwafina was the automated voice of the 7 train this morning, and everyone in the train car was smiling,” tweeted commuter Sarah Baker.

Another fan gushed, “im going to f-cking scream…im shaking this might be the best promotion to date.” And tech reporter Bridget Carey added, “My commute just got an upgrade. Can we keep her?”

And the announcements have inspired at least one other actress. Bronx-born “Scandal” star Kerry Washington tweeted: “Ummmm this is amazing @awkwafina. @MTA I’m available for the 6 train ANYTIME!!!!!!”

During the eight-day promotion, “The Farewell” star will offer up information and witty comments including, “This is Hudson Yards-34th St. Hope you like weird architecture!”

In another message, Awkwafina jokes, “This is 69th St., which is definitely, definitely not funny in any way.”

In others, she advises fellow New Yorkers on everything from nail-clipping and man-spreading to how to survive in pricey Manhattan.

The MTA teamed up with Comedy Central on the first-of-its kind ad, a spokesman for the transit agency said last week.

The semi-autobiographical TV show stars Awkwafina as a fictionalized version of herself alongside BD Wong and SNL writer and cast member Bowen Yang.
