After viewing Jim's vids, I've come to the conclusion that his jokes are secondary to his audience and heckler interactions. Often I've felt that if a comedian interacts with their audience , at length, he/she doesn't have enough credible material to go by but this guy has sold us candy and we love it. What a great spontaneous talent. Hilarious.

Mason Wong As I understand, a big part of why they changed it is due to the evolution from an event held for people with spinal cord injuries, to people confined to wheelchairs to people with all kinds of disabilities in its modern form. Since it no longer makes sense the official explanation of the word has changed to accommodate.
@DavidAndrewsPEC7 жыл бұрын
Nope. That's not revisionism - it's factism. Originally a portmanteau: paraplegic + olympics Now a portmanteau: parallel + olympics Because the committee that runs the games felt that the original portmanteau was no longer inclusive enough. The original games, played in 1948 at Stoke Mandeville Hospital had been organised by neurologist Ludwig Guttman who had said of the games that they would be seen as:“the paraplegics’ equivalent of the Olympics”. SMH is the home of the National Spinal Injuries Centre in the UK, and much of this dealt with lower spinal cord injuries leading to paraplegic conditions.

I hope I don't get a bunch of hate for this post but if every topic that offended someone was off limits for comedians there would be no comedy left. I saw a video with Joan Rivers and she made a joke about the deaf and a guy in the audience got angry and said she shouldn't make fun of the deaf because he had a deaf child. She said her mother is deaf and comedy is to help us deal with life's problems. Anyway she also made a joke about her husband's suicide and I actually laughed. I know what it is like to have a loved one die that way and her joke was about how you feel when that happens. She said, I was so angry when my husband committed suicide, if he ever came back I would kill him.
@AutomaticDuck3006 жыл бұрын
crystalheart9 I agree. In comedy, if you aren't crossing the line, you're towing it. And jokes exist to point out the absurdity in something. It's rarely if ever laughing at or making fun of the situation itself or the people involved. It's laughing at or making fun of the circumstances surrounding it.

Blow football. It's a table-top game in the UK where one person sits at one end of the table and the other person sits at the other end of the table. You put a ping pong ball in the middle of the table and each person has to blow it through a make-shift goal on the other side. i.e. if they were paraplegic (paralysed from the waist down and in a wheelchair), that is the only "sport" you can really do.
