Disability comedy on YouTube

Monkey has been cruising the Information Superhighway (smirk) for disability comedy. There's got to be something out there to laugh at, yes? Especially if the Ouch Podcast is binned and TV channels still edit disabled people's lives down to the size of 'interesting documentaries about what's wrong wiv us'.

Enter YouTube. I spent a good half an hour yesterday surfin' around and discovered a gem! Not made by disabled people but spot on humour.

. A spoof documentary item from Australia about an inspirational fella who works in a home for people with odd disabilities ... gawed if only there were more like him. (Warning, not hugely strong language but a little).

While we're about it, check out this spoof advertisement for a child's doll called
.

You got any disability humour you'd like to share with Monkey?

The "ad" for the disabled doll was fun/cool. I'd like to know where to get a tiny wheelchair like that one for an idea someone on our disability forum (https://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/index.php) had.

The ausie "joke" is just silly.
