I’m Spazticus

Like Trigger Happy TV but with disabled people using their disabilities to get a laugh. Starts on Channel 4 tonight at 22:00 but the original pilot was shown way back in 2005.

There's a bit of a 'right on' aspect to this that it's championing disabled people and lampooning able-bodied people who don't understand what it's like to be disabled in today's society and think people who are visually impaired, use a wheelchair or have limbs missing fit certain stereotypes.

Or, it's disabled people cruelly ridiculing and embarrassing members of the public who don't know how to act when a disabled person pulls a daft stunt on them.

Looks quite funny either way, but I'm glad the fucking spastics didn't get one over on me.

But who are the one's being exploited?????

it's not really that funny anyway. So a blind guy goes into the wrong shop and the shop owner tells him he should be next door.

Yes, but he's holding a massive dildo.

I know he is. I still dn't see what's funny about it.

its different not my kind of thing really ! I hate the word spaz or spastic ! I am disabled but can laugh at myself I do not see any purpose in doing something to someone so you (I) can laugh At them rather than just be funny and laugh with them tbh perhaps its cos I is just a boring old cripple !!
