The following is a trio of Scandanavian men with cerebal palsy singing. It is meant to be funny, is it? Please view the video in its entirety before posting, thank you.

I don't know if it's supposed to be funny, but I was laughing even before they started singing

i, for one, do not find that funny in any way, whatsoever. but maybe that's because one of my best friends has cerebal palsy. or maybe it's because i'm a hardass.

either way, not funny.

Nah, its not cause your a hardass. Pussy? Maybe, Hardass? Not a chance.

They are making fun of themselves, voluntarily, and are quite clever (and it looks like they are enjoying it.) If you or I pretended to be disabled for a cheap laugh, yes, thats in poor taste. This is not.

I don't see how anyone can't laugh at that.

It's not them that's funny, it's the wheelchairs, the absurdity, the production, etc. So yeah, it's ok to laugh :lol:

I had the misfortune of watching this while sober. If I were drunk, I'd have probably messes my shorts.

But seriously, it's all subjective. I can't blame someone for laughing, and can't blame someone if they don't find it the least bit funny. Watching something like that may even be funny to others with disabilities and teach them to be able to laugh at themselves as to keep in good spirits. So I approve of this video.

Yes it is okay to laugh, because they know exactly what they're doing and they're meaning to be funny.

That whole i'm not gay thing cracked me up, but the rest didn't.
