I can hardly get toothpaste on my toothbrush, or turn the pages of a book. My cats are really understanding.

[StaticNova]

tbh i also have essential tremor

and its really hard to live with it

[raajmaa]

ES un actor y produccion de un video realmente estupido si tuvieran el problema realmente com o algunos lo tenemos no lo podrian superar

[matthewnsea]

I've had this all my life, its not funny, and its very debilitating. I let some dude drill two holes in my head, insert electrodes into my brain, and bury two cell phone size batteries in my chest, JUST TO MAKE THIS STOP! Its nice to laugh at it every now and then, but in the big picture, its not funny at all.

[craparoniandcheese]

@matthewnsea whatever, people make fun of all kinds of disorders. I was porn with a deformed right hand but I could care less if people made fun of it. Build a better sense of humor, its healthy to laugh...even at disorders...

[borkug]

By the way, I don't know the purpose of this movie, but I like it.

Fun and sad.

[misterrocklin]

haha purpose solved

[luNaTF]

Que estúpido. Tengo ET y no soy asi...

no creo que deban reirse de esta manera de las personas que tienen temblores esenciales.

No es gracioso además no actua nada bien.

[RuthsFather]

I really don't know what this guy was trying to prove. I have ET. A full bodily tremor that can be embarassing, but I don't act like (whatever he was trying to act like). I have trouble typing, especially with the right hand, because I have damage on the left side of my brain. There are things, though, that you can do to help it. I have large handled silverware for easier eating. There are special keyboards for typing. Multitudes of accessories. No one has to act that way.

[nicolachildnicole]

He put on Et.

It's not very funny to have et and you can't really laugh at yourself. I mean et is serious and is not something to be laughed about.

I have et and it's that bad that it makes me cry because i can't do things.

[MachoLibRey]

Im not saying that I would know about ET, but everyone has their issues that are of equal suckiness. If you have something, that you cannot do anything about, then just learn to laugh at yourself or something. Idk.

When I hear disabled people saying 'thats not funny' or 'you wouldnt know, so stfu'

I feel like they honestly believe that theyre less than someone else, which is never the case. Because EVERYONE is disabled some way or another

[borkug]

You wouldn't know so shut the fuck up.

When you are disabled you can't do things that the rest of the world does without even thinking about it. It's very frustrating, and you're facing your handicap every day, every hour.

By the way the handcap only exists because you can't do something that OTHERS can actually do, so it those OTHERS advice you to laught about it, it's becoming a bit iritating, don't you think?

[MachoLibRey]

Exactly, like I stated, I wouldnt know. I'm seriously not trying to piss anybody off. I'm just saying for ex:

#I see a man, without any 'handicap', walking out of a bathroom and he has toilet paper stuck to his shoe - Im going to laugh

#I'm in the same scenario, only this person has a 'handicap' - I will also laugh

now do you get what Im trying to say...

Im seriously not bashing anyone - you cant live your life in a state of constant confrontation or bitterness - no way to live

[borkug]

OK I understand your point, I agree.

I meant that you can always push people to face their handicap and live with it, but you cannot ask them to laugh about it.

They may be able to do it, or not, but it wouldn't help to require that.

[MachoLibRey]

I get what you mean

[victorscope]

In your example it's the situation itself that is funny. There's nothing wrong with laughing at someone (handicapped or not) in that scenario. I understand the spirit of what you're saying though.

If the "filmmaker's" intent was to provide humor, why not make the character be someone who stopped his daily java cold turkey & is suffering major caffeine withdrawals? With as much people hooked on coffee, many more laughs would have been achieved by people who could identify with (cont...)

[victorscope]

(cont...) the character while not making jokes at the expense of those of us with ET and hurting peoples feelings.

[MachoLibRey]

good point

[Technotreff2003]

This guy pretends that he have ET.

I have ET. I always have shaky hands and shaking my head.

I use drugs like clonazepam and sometimes barbiturates. Some people think that I drink alcohol and because of it mine tremor..

[scarfacescarface69]

anyone who is cruel to this man must die of aids

[keghaywood]

I'm 37 and I always have shaky hands but not that bad even when I'm hungover. I think this video is funny because it's not far from the truth for me. People always ask me about why I shake bad and I tell them I have ET and most people don't understand it.

[cspunk89]

I do it every day!!!!

[cspunk89]

LOL

[foryoutulips]

My blessings to you.

[powermjp]

is it bad that i laugh at his sufferin?

[matthewnsea]

Thank you for posting this....for one of the first times ever, I could laugh at myself(Essential Tremor)

[misterrocklin]

haha, he was just acting.

[randyhofman]

FUNNY AND FUN

[MightyBear90]
