"Don't Make Fun of the Crippled Boy" by Roy Zimmerman

[jjsjeffjjsjeff]

Something like our glorious VP asked a handicapped gentlemen to stand?

[JennyFarlopez]

What is the sound of one hand waving?

[OhNoYouCant]

I think this is an anti-Joe Biden song...

"Stand up Chuck"...

The Stand Up Chuck Biden video is still the best on youtube. ...and people thought Bush was stupid... Biden makes him look like Einstein.

[BrianMalone89]

Haha the intro to that sounded kind of like "Tribute" from Tenacious D

[SlimAyDee]

@BrianMalone89 actually it sounded more like Wonderboy from Tenacious D

[MyOldName]

To be fair, he's not a divider for the simple fact that he can't divide.

[egonboy]

As a physical cripple I'm offended by this song....

Don't put him in the same league as us!

[livedandletdie]

crippled is a mean term.

Dysfunctions what it's actually called.

And Bush ain't crippled he is stupid. And they who says that he is making fun of crippled people for saying W Bush are crippled go shoot yourself.

[dondongo666]

@livedandletdie .... man you're illiterate

[THETRUEWOMBATS]

is this a luke kelly parody?

[koponenii]

sure we all can make new words.. i think we gotta do new kinda esperanto.thru net it would be so fast to learn.1 word Feginer=doomed well known repeatly failier doing it again. ( sry mi crap eng )

[szrgirl]

My father and I agree to disagree on most everything political. I played this for him a few minutes ago. He half smiled, gave me that "It's just another one of your things" look and wandered into the living room to watch the military channel. ;-)

[MarkMystic]

Roy! Please come to Belfast, trust me, there is plenty of political satire to be had in Northern Ireland. We have an environment minister who denies global warming and terrorists in power. Fun all round really!

[DoxieVee]

Not to mention that bitch Iris Robinson, a Health Minister who thinks that gay people can be cured...

[MarkMystic]

High five local! Hilarious, she looks like a gay icon.

[DoxieVee]

She does, doesn't she? I can picture her now, dancing with the go-go boys in G-A-Y, warbling a rendition of It's Raining Men...or perhaps not.

[MarkMystic]

At least "Somewhere over the rainbow." Her hobbies on the DUP website include "interior design." It says it all really...

[DoxieVee]

I believe the exact phrase is "a flair for interior design".

[MarkMystic]

Oh yeah. She su-re does!

[8DX]

Yes they can.. I had a thing for penises that went.. well one particular one.. oh it's mine. Oh sorry not gay then =)...

[jenessa1018]

"He waved to Stevie Wonder"

took me 5 minutes to figure out why that's funny... guess making fun of me is off limits too lol

[ScarSymmetric]

Sadly, he didn't. I wouldn't put it past him, but it's not actually true.

[wutzernutzer]

There's shades of "Don't Cry Out Loud" in this. Great job!

[iamsime]

come to britain please!

[stopcicles]

The opening riff is very Rain Song-ish.

[Truthiness231]

I've noticed most of his songs are inspired by a great song in the past. And, IMO, he has a uncanny ability to pick the right song to parody for his subjects.

Listen to one of his new ones "Sarah Pale In Comparison", for example. It's clearly a classic Dylan remake ^.^

[ArianneHermida]

stopcicles -

Don't mention Rain. He put Stephen Colbert in the number 2 spot for Time's 100 Most Influental People in the World. Although, a good dance-off did come out of it.

[dbohls]

Roy, you've gone too far here. Calling Bush a cripple is unfair...to cripples :)

[dondongo666]

@dbohls Oh, you're creative. hah hah hah. oh man. hee hee. oh, that's hilarious. and original.

[dbohls]

@dondongo666 nice sarcasm! that was pretty damn hilarious and original of you. way to show me how it's done.

[dondongo666]

@dbohls hey, I'm no fan of Bush, but it is in my best opinion that your comment was lame.

[dbohls]

@dondongo666 and your comments are just frickin' awesome. thanks for sharing.

[edwardwoelke]

He's like a man decapitated

[zoazoon]

Tonight during Sarah Palin's speech at the RNC, her teleprompter displayed "new-clear" in place of "nuclear" so that she wouldn't mess up the pronunciation.

[ramzafft1]

Here's what's really pathetic: So many people err in their pronunciation of "Nuclear" that "nucular" is considered acceptable in some dictionaries...

Bush's legacy?

[Letranger]

No, this was made fun of on The Simpsons well before Bush was in office.

It's a common fuck-up.

[bdf2718]

Interesting fact. Prior to appearing on the ticket, Palin could pronounce "nuclear" correctly. The change to "nukular" was to play to the morons who vote for Republicans against their best interests.

[InnSewerAnts]

*gasps for air*

*dries eyes from laughter*

*massages painfull cheek muscles*

:') So funny.

[TheGuitarPlayingMonk]

intro riff sounds like a tenacious d song

[MrMysterioGrim]

:] Good stuff

[gunapie]

Don't be hard on him, Jesus is going to come and fix his mess. I don't need Jesus, my wife makes me clean up my mess - got to go do the dishes now............the revolution must wait.

PS - Thanks again for all you do for progress! We love you.

[alderby]

just a thought those of you (deliberately or otherwise) missing the point here might want to consider for a moment: I'm personally inclined to suspect that if Bush actually WAS clinically retarded, he'd have been a much better president. for one thing, he probably wouldn't have been such a heartless, wilfully ignorant, self-satisfied asshole in the first place.

[xsnrgman]

Too true! The retarded guy that was in the Sixth Sense movie would of been a MUCH better president than Bush ever was. He probably has a lot more charisma, is brilliant in front of cameras, and could make a lot less retarded looking faces than what W. "monkey-ass" Bush makes.

[vlogsiblings]

Wonderful song... sad, sad, sad, (depressing, horrifying, terrible, upsetting, angering) topic. Thank bob it's almost over!

[madcowgirl4h]

aww that was so beautiful I think I almost cried... haha oh yes, but I'm still going to laugh at him every time he says "nukuler"

[jjuran]

"but I'm still going to laugh at him every time he says 'nukuler'"

I can't believe that college-educated people today don't know how to spell 'nucular'. Oh, how the mighty have fallen...

[PaderWulf]

Should we really consider Bush a "college educated man"? Methinks there would be a few expert witnesses who would dispute that tidbit...

[jjuran]

PaderWulf: I was facetiously correcting madcowgirl's misspelling of Bush's mispronunciation of 'nuclear'.

The joke is that I'm harping on her second-order 'mistake', while leaving the original error unquestioned.

[PaderWulf]

I see... I can't for one second began to say just what madcowgirl's intentions were in her comment, but methinks she was utilizing onomatopoeia... (And unfortunately for me, I can spell that ferking word for the life of me. I had to look it up from a reference site. How shameful...)

[tezcatbus]

college republicans: why should old people have all the dumb

[xsnrgman]

Yeah because it's spelled "nuclear". Wow....

[chancelikely]

Rhyming "handicap" with "man decap...itated" - genius. Sheer sodding genius.

[McDaidUSA]

Another masterpiece! You make the horror of the last eight years bearable. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

[DocHolliday92966]

lmao Roy Im sorry I havent got around much lately but you still rock brother

Peace

[niallthenail]

Excellent

[KobyBrandt]

ahahahaha! Picking on the crippled boys again? You are mercilous.

Btw, I've enjoyed all that Bush-Cheney bashing -- you're so good at it Roy. Keep up the great work...

[climbcolorado]

LOL @@ LMAO!!!!

[yourcamden]

He could in other ways insult G Bush by claiming that Bush is a really a n**** (a black man) or that Bush is really a woman and that is why the way he is or other such crap.

Don't insult the dignity of disabled people until you know at first hand of the systemic discrimination they face in their daily lives.

It was not long ago, when disabled people were denied access to their local bus service and in many countries in the world that discrimination still exists today.

[CobinRain]

Poor YourCamden. You are also "challenged" aren't you; you don't get it do you? No sense of irony or parody. How do you live in 2008? Are you sure you're English?

Oh and I loved the "n*****(black man)" bit. Forgive me; that just cracked me up.

[timestarvedcd]

Oh dear, somebody doesn't get it...

(don't make fun of him though)

[itreeye]

timestarvedcd:

"(don't make fun of him though)"

Not that you could, "Comedian".

LOL, not even one post remotely funny. (Not mention zero vids of your stand-up. :)

Perhaps you should hold back the judging, humiliating and dissing others until you have something real. No? I didn't think so, creep. Stay away from my kid!

[grah11]

@yourcamden so your saying that Roy is insulting crippled children by comparing them to George w. bush?

[yourcamden]

yes

[lilpinkchainsaw]

Oh, Ray, I love you! Heeheehee!

[eppylover]

I've always had the hots for Tom Lehrer.

This guy Zimmerman is brilliant, and is gonna be his successor! Wow. Um, Too young for me personally, though. LOL!

[Paxmax]

Hehehehe!!!

[Cabiee]

AMAZING as always!! Everyone should go to his website and purchase this CD, every song on it is fantastic!

[LatinD]

I loved this. I don't know what's wrong with some YouTubers. Thanks for sharing, as always.

[colbertnation401]

ilu. <3

[TheRantingBrit]

Fantastic work. I can't believe he waved at Stevie Wonder.

[FightTheElite]

Very funny... too bad some people can't laugh about it because it reminds them of their own inabilities.

[jimmyisikura]

hilarious

[angryyoungwoman]

I normally love your stuff, Roy, but as a disabled individual, I do find this a bit ableist. Not my favorite. I wish you could find a way to make fun of Bush without being offensive to those who are less priveleged than you are.

[Neeboopsh]

So it's alright to make fun of someone's speech problems (nucular), or their 'god given intellect' but you're not allowed to reference a word that denotes someone who cannot walk? pretty weird rules; i think that would be called "a double standard" where you can make fun of someone else and their problems and challenges but yours are off limits. moreover, he's actually saying that you shouldnt make fun of him for being such a moron because its like making fun of a "cripple" ie: just not cool.

[TheRantingBrit]

My uncle is severely mentally handicapped. Get over yourself.

[gnomeuser]

Comedy should not be subject to any sacred cows. I myself suffer from Tourette's, an illness often depicted in the media as source of fun. My daily life I promise you is not fun, it is not a pleasant illness, but you bet I laugh at a good Tourette's joke when I hear one. So try to laugh with Roy and the rest of us.

[stunhabter]

I totally agree with you... If you can't laugh at your own problems and issues I don't think you should laugh at others.

[gggrow]

I agree with you but the portrayal of Tourette's is one that particularly annoys me because it's so ridiculously inaccurate.

[gnomeuser]

I have to admit, the good jokes are few and far between but all jokes are like that. It is hard to make a good Tourettes joke work, they all seem to end up just being an excuse to hurl insults around.. which frankly isn't much of a joke at all.

But I am sure Roy can make it work.. I challenge you oh mighty one, make fun of my illness in lyrical style, make me laugh.

[Nogert]

Such a hypocrite lol

[flimflam0069]

How is it offensive to handicapped people?

[the0mafia0whore]

Nice.

[EmoKidsScott]

haha brilliant

[riversonthemoon]

You're a genius!

[SongsForJulia]

Brilliant, Roy.

Simply Wonderful.

Don't point and stare.

[PAPICHANKEE]

Once again, Epic.

[HealingBlight]

Best opening line ever.

[Cafeeine]

Kudos!

[sheepwshotguns]

i have no compassion for the crippled individuals that are altering my civil liberties...

screw impeaching bush, convict bush!

[Largo64]

It's so hard with that particular crippled boy not to point and laugh.

[aids514]

Holy shit. View 12? No wayyyyyyy.

Pchew Pchew.
