If you were stuck with a debilitating mental or physical condition

Waves · 07-19-2010, 03:52 PM

what would it be and why?

mine would be this dudes:

YouTube - Zach's Oprah Audition

it seems as though he has normal cognitive functions, that would be fun to screw around with

Waves · 07-19-2010, 03:56 PM

btw if you think this dudes as awesome as i do more info:

Operation SyPhyllis - Encyclopedia Dramatica

Sir-Ex · 07-19-2010, 04:07 PM

that guy is seriously awesome.

he lives up the the 'Zach' title, I must say. Even more so than I

verklingen · 07-19-2010, 04:14 PM

what a badass

badgoalie85 · 07-19-2010, 04:20 PM

AND NO ATLANTIS IS TOO UNDERWATER OR FICTIONAL

cantSEEme · 07-19-2010, 04:24 PM

If he was mentally retarded, I would agree, but he has CP, which gives him no excuse for being so lame. I just don't find extroverted handicapped people to be heroic, or deserving of special attention. Take Jim Carrey, for example. He's actually funny, and people like him because he's actually funny, not because he suffers from depression. If you really want to respect the handicapped, give them the praise they actually deserve, not the exaggerated false praise you would give a little child.

^the extroverted handicapped community frowns on your shenanigans

Sir-Ex · 07-19-2010, 04:30 PM

I disagree. I thought he was funny, and his intentional lameness works in conjunction with his eyes of variable direction.

**Home Wrecker** · 07-19-2010, 04:34 PM

Maybe alzheimers or schizophrenia, something where I didn't even realize anything was wrong.

Assuming that isn't already the case...

Waves · 07-19-2010, 04:36 PM

im just putting on my pants...america doesnt want to see this

i dont commend him for being disabled i commend him for his excellent sense of humor

if it were a normal person acting disabled i would probably say the same thing

the fact that hes the real deal seals the deal if you get my schpiel, yo

The Rev · 07-19-2010, 04:50 PM

I just think that if any non-disabled person you knew produced the same video, you'd be laughing at what a lame ass he is, not calling him awesome. I just don't believe in giving people credit because I feel sorry for them. It's a slap in the face, in a way. I mean, if you had a problem like that, and everyone always applauded, even if you sucked, because they pitied you, how would that make you feel?

Credit where due, is all I'm saying.

**Home Wrecker** · 07-19-2010, 04:50 PM

I just read that ED page and it seems like he really got screwed.

badgoalie85 · 07-19-2010, 04:54 PM

rev imo you're being ridiculous.

i get what you're saying in general, but honestly this dude is hilarious and should get a show. "credit where due, is all i'm saying." indeed.

badgoalie85 · 07-19-2010, 04:55 PM

honestly, did you listen to his idea for a show? was brilliant. i'd watch that shit.

**~~Dantastic~~** · 07-19-2010, 05:29 PM

hes ripping the cerebral palsy bit off from a guy on one of the first seasons of last comic standing.

so yeah, lets give credit where its due, to this guy.

Josh Blue.

YouTube - Josh Blue at Last Comic Standing!

badgoalie85 · 07-19-2010, 05:30 PM

cerebral palsy isn't a "bit"

**~~Dantastic~~** · 07-19-2010, 05:31 PM

Using as schtick for comedy is.

I really didn't think it was that great an idea, actually. Then again, I have no clue what the viewing public wants to watch, so maybe I'm the wrong guy to ask. That's my opinion, anyway.

you would have an argument if he had ripped off some jokes from the dude, but he didn't.

it's not like once one person with a disability is a comedian, then everyone else with that same disability is disqualified or unoriginal.
