after recently watching Michael J. Fox's, incurable optimist show, he didn't strike me as the type of guy to be offended by the jokes. He seems like an awesome dude in that show, and I hope they do find a cure with stem cell research soon.

It just wasn't funny. Not in a *OMG how can you laugh at someone's misfortune* kind of way, just the jokes are poor and not funny. Try again..

Whether it's funny or not is is completely subjective. Read what people were writing before I posted what you quoted. They weren't saying it wasn't funny, they were pulling out the fake outrage card. If you watch Family Guy and don't find it funny because you think the writing is lame or the jokes are kind of hack, then that is one thing. But if you watch Family Guy and don't find it funny because you find the humor offensive, then you are someone I would never want to have a beer with. So you try again...

That's the thing.

Nobody here is making fun of MJF or disabled people. We're laughing at the JOKE, not the poor person struck with this terrible disease. Of Course everyone loves the guy and wishes that a cure can be found (via stem cells or other ways). No one here would go up to MJF, point and laugh.

The Joke itself, not MJF, is what is funny. For example:

"Hey what happens when "MJF hugs an apple tree? All the apples fall off" is not a funny joke. It's just plain boring.

But am image or illustration of "MJF + Apple Trees = Apples on ground", is funny. (The etcha-a-sketch one is even better). It's the same joke of course, just told in a more creative way. It's a still image of MJF, not a video of him with a tremor, so it forces you the viewer to consider it first as a puzzle. Then when you "get it", you may laugh, and then feel guilty for laughing, and then laugh even more.

*snicker*.

Funny indeeed!

I didnt find that funny

Classless.

at first i was like wtf but then i googled his ass and found out he had parkinsons then it all made sense :D

It's sad that he has it, great actor in his time :(

mmmm , I need that Martini right now !!!!

asshat owns this thread

I hate re-runs.

but this one is worth watching.

thanks for the laugh

Ok, I just got this.

and I feel... bad.

I agree with that. I'm a disabled person (spastic paraplegia) and I make jokes about myself all the time and don't care if other people do the same. Of course, if they are being complete pricks that's different, but in life you have to have a sense of humor or you will live a pretty miserable life.

Most normal people would not laugh at what he posted.

clever jokes!

Better than putting disabled people in the corner and forgetting about them.

What better than to laugh about it?

The guys running across the finish line and "OK YOU WON BUT YOURE STILL DISABLED"

THAT JOKE is demeaning! Not these. Better to be in your face and include all people in life.

not funny at all...

A man in a wheelchair meets a beautiful woman on a beach and says to her ... "i've never been hugged before"... feeling sorry for him she hugs him

the man then says "and ive never been kissed before" ... so again the woman feels sorry for him and kisses him...

The man thinks to himself he could take full advantage of the womans kindness and says "i've never been fucked before".

On hearing this the woman tips him out of his wheelchair into the fast approaching tide and says ..."YOU ARE NOW!!!"

Son, im disappointed :\

Sorry but I blame the forum admins for tolerating such posts, that?s why this forum has an over abundance of immature fools.

Feel free to fuck off then, you whining little small cocked bitch.

Classic thread ...

asshole :mad:

let's make this thread usefull

its pretty low when you make fun of people for a condition they have no control over :2 cents:

don't think anyones making fun of the condition.. just making.. light.. of the situation

MJF is one of the coolest people when he's on a talk show or whatever. He hasnt given up control of his own destiny one iota, and I admire that.

He's a great actor.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I guess that shows the kind of person you are

I just lol'd.

Ignore List Updated:disgust

i thort that was good

Poor shaky twitchy bastard

so we should laugh about a guy who have Parkinson? oh wow! this is the end of the world!
Would you laugh if you would have same thing? I bet you won`t

:thumbsup

Sorry Michael but I laughed :thumbsup

Don't get it at all..

Poor Michael J Fox

i love the stuff he does, even with his condition he is still kicking ass on the good wife but those images are funny as shit too..

I wouldn't expect anything less from a guy named Donkey punch, but I laughed. I recognize that its wrong, but that doesn't keep me from laughing.

:pimp:1orglaugh:mad::disgust:2 cents::thumbsup:helpme:(

jez this is wrong

:1orglaugh

if you watch curb your enthusiasm you'll see Michael is able to laugh at himself and the disease a bit.

Jerk

Michael J. Fox is a great guy I can not see humor here
