I know right?
I'm guessing the lady's name is Ruth but I only caught a small clip of her ... My favs were of course thunder cats! And...I actually choked on my tea at this bit and wanted to high five her but
"****ing squirrels.....**** you! Your mums a ****ing squirrel!"
I laughed cause it just brought me back to high school and the whole "your mum " jibes. To be fair though, she was right. His mum was a ****ing squirrel.
Next time you come on here try making a worthwhile contribution.
You clearly haven't a clue about why I said what I said but just to help you, there's a massive difference between finding something humorous and amusing and laughing at people. The person who made the comment about drinks 'down ya' and then being in hysterics sounds like the sort of person who laughs at people because they have a certain type of condition.
To be fair, Tourette's is hilarious and I don't feel bad about laughing out loud every time there's a documentary on. Shouting out competely random combinations of words is the purest form of comedy, there's a build up where you know something is coming but you don't know what, then it's........SPECIAL FUNGUS
It's hardly in the same category as downs syndrome ffs
No. People can tell if one has Downs, by their appearance.
When my son shouts out "Arnie" or "flowerbed" in the mall, combined with his tics, people just assume he is a weirdo.
I am not disagreeing with you, though, I understand it can be amusing to watch.

To live with it, not so much.
Anybody who has seen one of these documentaries would assume he had Tourette's, so I suppose the more coverage on tv the better
We used to eat in a little French restaurant in St Martins Lane (long gone) where there was a fantastic waiter who had Tourettes. He didn't swear, but had all manner of verbal and physical ticks, including one where his arm would fly outwards in a sort of involuntary Seig Heil.
I remember the horror when I first saw him emerge from the kitchen with 3 plates of food balanced on the arm. I nearly dived under the table. Somehow, however, he could control it when carrying food. The moment the plates went down on the table, the arm would fly out and he'd shout a sort of "Yap!",

I agree. My brother has it.
If some people are genuinely interested this is what it is in a nutshell.
Some have vocal tics, which include noises, words and grunting sounds. Some have physical tics which could be sn arm flying out, a punch, anything really. My brother had a weird one where he rolled his eyes back, to just leave him with the whites of his eyes showing.
Only a few vocal ticks result in swearing or inappropriate language, and it is solely because it is inappropriate. Basically I can't say this and by surpressing it, guess what comes out
When a sufferer is concentrating very hard on a task they tend not to tick as much or at all.
Only around 1 in 10 people with Tourettes also have coprolalia. Other neurological conditions not directly related to Tourettes can also have coprolalia as part of the symptoms.

I think that's a bit of a leap. Many people find things even funnier when they are drunk. Maybe it is because you are less inhibited by the "I know I shouldn't laugh but ..."
I think torrettes can be funny. Narcolepsy can be too.
As can my dyspraxia when I am whisking with an old fashioned whisk and my hips start doing a figure of 8. I remember once doing this in my first week at university where I didn't know most of my "audience". I could sense what my hips were doing and I could also sense desperate and not totally successful attempts to suppress laughter. I was embarrassed but I also find it funny.

He was mainly making noises and half words, but when a female took turn to deal it changed to TITS, BIG TITS.
He was also shouting out things like BLUFF, FLUSH which was annoying. Apparently he plays there all the time, so they all knew him and no one cared.

'Sounds like'.... assumption, assumption, assumption.

Well unless the person I was actually addressing comes back then we don't know.
Now, about your issues . . .

Yes, Tourettes Karaoke from Mr Guy Francis! His attitude and approach to life I think is great! He is man to be admired.
He sings a variety of songs - my favourite being "Lady in Red". Absolutely not safe for work by way!
