@Manolina111 Adam Hills wasn't making fun of a disabled person, we're laughing at how funny human strength is. Adam's 'disabled' himself (he was born missing his left foot, he has a stump from his calf down) so he knows how wonderful it is to achieve things that you may have been told you can't. I am also 'disabled' (I have joint & mobility issues) I don't let it affect me, even though I may be in a wheelchair by the time I'm 30. You have to laugh at these things,you can't let them beat you. xxx
As someone with a disability it really pisses me off when people complain about people like Adam Hills who make jokes like this. If he is allowed to make jokes about politicians or celebrities saying he shouldn't make jokes about disabled people is the definition of not equal.
Adam Hills has an artificial foot, so it's not like someone with four limbs making fun of people with missing limbs. He often makes jokes about his own lack of a foot.
I'm disabled and I love his jokes about disability, because his jokes don't make the disabled person the victim of ridicule or cruelty. He explores the fascination and curiosity we ALL have about disability in a humorous way. And he's funny as fuck.
@Manolina111 - Adam doesn't make fun of disabled people. He applauds their abilities in a funny way, which most comedians are too scared to do, fearing the PC bandwagon. Adam pointed out that this armless man won SILVER!! A fantastic encouragement to other less-abled people, and the crowd cheered. Why can't we laugh about disabled people so long as it isn't derogatory? They are no less people than us. I wish we would stop being so offended by ourselves and embrace being different.
@Manolina111 - Sorry to keep on with it, but I applaud Adam Hills for making less-abled people more normal! We can take shots at anyone else, but not the disabled. If disabled people stopped being so pissed off with their situation and could laugh at it instead, and if parents stopped overprotecting their disabled kids and taught them that they are different, but just as worthy, and just as funny, maybe people on the street and the kids at school wouldn't be so scared or cruel.
@yoguysoffm NO ONE KNOWS THAT!!!!!!! apart from a friend of mine whose a swimmer and is sitting next to me who probably know that. but apart from that: NO ONE KNOWS THAT
Mark Forward is just not funny. He has a funny character and he made me smile the first seconds but then I was almos disliking the video. And if it wasn't Adam Hills I would have!
I've watched this sketch by Adam Hill over and over now... it's HILARIOUS... that dude is amazing
It's funny and I'm a swimmer - tears are rolling out of my eyes at this point.
adam hills always makes me feel good inside

Did you understand his jokes? I found them pretty funny, nothing hilarious but i enjoyed it and I'm sure a lot of other people did.

Oh this just isn't the same eh.
I agree he isn't the best comedian out, I mean, I love him, but there are better ... but he is NOT a rookie.
Does doing it for 22 years make you a rookie?
yeah? and who in your little world would be considered a professional?
What's him having 1 leg got to do with anything?
4:50 get of the stage!
its was awful.. what is the matter with you people ???
