Storytelling - Cerebral Palsy Story

[3jaredc]

My composition professor just showed this clip to our class. I have never struggled more intensely to hold in laughter as the rest of my class just stared at the screen, appalled by the ballziness of the girl, the teacher, and my professor for showing this clip. I died laughing.

[ebf1957]

In college I took fiction writing courses, and you had students that wrote like shit and some who thought they were the greatest thing to happen in writing. Some became frustrated teachers.

[lehnrik]

This is one of the funniest scenes ever.

[GeddyYeti2112]

Cerebral....person.

[skulldrix]

Is this supposed to be a joke of some sort or are you just being pretentious?

[RuledByMetalMusic]

Press 8 for a piece of shit LOL

[SpoonsForks]

[bigfilmhat]

@ 1:20

I also believe that Dostoevsky had dandruff.

[BryanB1300]

I'm glad he got his feelings hurt, he deserves it after giving aids to everyone

[kapillie]

@BryanB1300 HAHAHA IF UR REFERING TO KIDS THATS FUCKING HILARIOUS

[jobo66]

Anyone who thinks people are laughing at the cerebral palsy are completely missing the point and are about as intelligent as the first two girls who give a comment in the clip.

[ilikescreamo1991]

THAT KINDA OF FUCKED UP SAYING TO A PERSON THAT CAN GET HURT EASILY

[ilikescreamo1991]

it actuallly pretty creative story i think

[StrawberryAndSalmon]

leo was an ugly bastard in "kids" and he's still an ugly bastard...

[sean991000]

Great performance by Leo Fitzpatrick!

[ilikescreamo1991]

@sean991000 agree

[FromLeilaWithLove]

I actually viewed this film as a quite compelling and provocative drama, but based on all these comments...it was supposed to have made me laugh.

[AlcinoustheXIIth]

That's how Josh Blue won Last Comic Standing...

[KruBahbie]

LMFAO! "Kathrine is right, that story is a peice of shit"

[TheCreeperKid]

It's Tammy Littlenut!

[DougieSmoozer]

Worst story i've ever heard in my life...

[OscarMaris]

[maxiflo]

"That story is a piece of shit" LMAOOOOO

[D1sM0rph1c]

Leo Fitzpatrick probable never got laid...

[MIALING12345]

can you tell me where i could watch the whole movie?

[OscarMaris]

netflix

[STUNTS1516]

this movie was awesome:P the teachers a total dick but this is the best scene ever :P leave it to a black guy to tell the honest to god straight up truth :P

[mikeandcooper]

reminded me of faulkner, just east coast and disabled.  lmfao.

[ignoranceandwant]

I like the guy who volunteers that Updike as psoriasis.

I also liked the fact that the novel that won the professor the Pulitzer Prize was entitled "A Sunday Lynching."

[mikeandcooper]

yeah ,a sunday lynching. hee hee. pretty funny shit.

[jerkstore74]

@ignoranceandwant talk about a pretentious title.

[hmeeks16]

it seemed pretty mean too the people with cerebal palsy.

[GotNextVideo]

It's making fun of him for being a bad writer, not for having CP.

[headmark915]

Most likely Marcus' story WAS a piece of shit, so he obviously needed a correction. The teacher would be an even bigger asshole if he let Marcus go on believing this was great writing.

[dobby335]

The scene where Selma Blair has sex with the black English teacher is the BEST!He made her say"Fuck me nigger"!Lol!I had a white girlfriend at the time,and that scsene turned me on so much,i made her say the same thing to ME!!!!And i LOVED it!

[uneternalsleep]

this just blew my mind

[handoveryourmouth]

[DoggystyleHDTV]

LOL! That scene was raw as hell!

[mikeandcooper]

"His arms didn't spazz away."

HAHA!

[hmeeks16]

fuck u i have mild cerebral palsy in my left im perfectly normal but plz have sum respect u couldnt live 1 sec in my life or any of thers

[serialclone]

I wasn't laughing at cerebral palsy; I'm laughing at the dialog. If you watch Todd Solondz films, you would know why that's funny. It's not an attack on disabilities at all.

It's a certain brand of humor. You either have it, or you don't.

[SrDisorden]

We aren't meant to laugh at the person with cerebral palsy, we are meant to laugh at the awkwardness of the situation the other characters find themselves in. They all know his story was bad but they don't want to tell him because he has a disability and they would feel bad. It's funny cause they start comparing him to random writers with disabilities, when really his writing sucks.

[hmeeks16]

i kno

[TheGreatTrashy]

@SrDisorden word

[bigfilmhat]

@SrDisorden

Ya, well don't forget that Ernest Hemingway had severe dandruff.
