I worked at Burger King years ago, and I worked with a guy who looked a whole lot like the guy in that video. He was mentally challenged and spoke like the guy in the video as well. This isn’t hilarious; it’s disgusting. There are real people like this man who work for minimum wage (sometimes less). It’s sad. Siemsi, your life must be very sad if this is humorous to you.
What the fuck is WRONG with you people? It was a fucking joke. Thank you Siemsi for understanding.
Get off the cross, for fuck’s sake. Just a joke. Okay? A joke. Jesus.
It’s not a joke, fucking or otherwise. It’s tasteless trash that is unworthy of anyone who considers themselves human. It is pathetic drivel that attempts “humour” by making fun of defenseless people. I find it offensive in the extreme.
It’s NOT FUNNY. What is wrong with YOU?
Is it supposed to have lyrics?
I didn’t get it–but maybe that’s because I’m playing music through my computer.
I didn’t particularly find anything too funny about it at first, but then I saw the register and it kinda got real boring real quick.
I’m not exactly thrilled when someone intentionally takes a jab at the mentally handicapped - especially when that handicapped person decides for whatever reason to go out and make an honest day’s dollar for an honest day’s work.

I’d find it funny if that mentally handicapped person spit in that movie’s author’s milkshake though . . .

Wasn’t there a song from Wendy’s with the old lady going “Where is the beef, where is the beef!”? What ever happened to that old lady?

Man, the 80s were so cool.
This has no relevance at all to that fact that this is intending to make fun of “retards”. I very much doubt a mentally disabled person sang the song. That’s not the point. The point is that it’s meant to sound like they did and we’re meant to find it hilariously funny. Ha ha ha. Look at the retards. They’re so stupid and funny and work in the shittiest job you can think of and enjoy it. Ha ha ha.
Methinks Cleverman is a bit of a misnomer if, after all the responses, this is still his idea of funny.
I dunno about a song, but the old lady went and did a commercial for Ragu in which she clutched a jar of spaghetti sauce and answered “I found it!” (to the implied “where’s the beef” question.)
She was subsequently sued by Wendy’s.
Nothing’s wrong with me. You can find it not funny. That’s fine. But to get on your holy high horse and accuse me of being some offending ass, well, there’s something wrong with that. Don’t like a joke you hear. Say you didn’t think it was funny. Or don’t say anything. But start preaching about how offended you were, and how tasteless I am, well, I bet you’re the life of the party.
Good luck changing the world with your sterling silver moral compass. :rolleyes:
K, see you in the pit.
You’re offended that I’m offended? How dare you be! You just don’t get it! Geez, get off the cross will you? You’ve got no right to get upset about what we all said. It’s just words. It’s not like we’re actually being mean to you. Don’t like the replies you get? Just say you didn’t like them. Or don’t say anything. But start bitching about how you’re misunderstood, and how we’re the PC brigade, well, I bet you’re popular here.
Conversely, to not anticipate this sort of reception, and then bitch and whine when yer lambasted . . . :rolleyes:

C’mon pal, get with the program.
So, if you stand in front of a group of people, make a bigoted remark, and then someone says: “You are an offending ass!” You’re saying they are wrong?
Sorry, but it’s not slander if it’s true.
You publicly posted a link to a site that has the clear, undeniable intent of disparaging an innocent group.
So indeed, you are without question offending others, therefore “offending ass” is an appropriate description of you and your actions.
You can’t complain if people are pointing out the obvious – you found humour in bigotry.
This should go to the Pit now.
OK. Enough.
Cleverman, if this is the sort of “humour” you intend to spread around here on the SDMB, I predict your stay to be a rather short one.
