If you were asked to say something funny to someone in a wheelchair probably because the person wants to feel happy or you’ve been asked to say some wheelchair jokes and you are lost for ideas. This article saves you from that dilemma as I have compiled 15 funny things to say to someone in a wheelchair.
While we do not encourage making a mockery of people’s disabilities or wheelchair status, we understand that there could be “harmless” requests in this direction. To this end, I have curated some wheelchair jokes that can be used to address both a person or a group of people who want to hear some wheelchair jokes.
It Must Take A Lot For You To Stand Such Bitter Jokes And Remarks
A statement like “It must take a lot for you to stand such bitter jokes and remarks” may be mild and may not be easily gotten. However, if you want to start lightly with funny things you could say to somebody in a wheelchair that does not sound painful or demeaning, this is a very good place to start. It may take some time for them to get the joke but when they eventually do I’m sure they’re going to find it funny.
- I must commend you for the way you stand up to these jokes. Or do you just sit through the mockery?
- I would run as fast as my legs could carry me if I had to face some of these wheelchair jokes
What Is A Nun In A Wheelchair Called? Virgin Mobile
I once heard somebody say this to a friend who was in a wheelchair and it was simply hilarious. I must confess it must have taken a lot of thought to come up with something like this especially when you think of how it connects perfectly.
Imagine a nun in a wheelchair and the fact that nuns are people who have not who are not married and are supposedly virgins but are mobile. The good thing about this response or remark is that it does not directly attack the personality of the person in a wheelchair, which is a good way to say something funny to someone in a wheelchair without hurting them.
Don’t You Feel Important The Way Hotels Are Rated For Wheelchair Access?
Hotels are usually considered good enough based on a lot of features and amenities. There is a feature by hotels called wheelchair accessibility which indicates how easy it is for someone in a wheelchair to use a hotel. You can use this remark to suggest that the person should be feeling important as well because they and others in wheelchairs are taken into consideration when hotels think about their operations.
- Your influence is felt in the hospitality industry. No wheelchair access means fewer stars for the hotel
- You must be proud to think organizations still accord you some respect
You Could Walk Into A Doctor’s Office And Refuse To Take A Seat Because You Brought Yours
Another very hilarious thing to say to someone in a wheelchair is to tell them that they could go to an office or go for an appointment and refuse to sit down on any seat offered to them because they brought theirs.
You know someone in a wheelchair would be unable to sit on any chair they’re offered because they are already seated in their wheelchair. This statement is directed to the person’s personality and you must be careful to use it on someone who would not be bothered by such a statement.
I Am Sure You Wonder Why Other Humans Cannot Keep Up With Your Pace
If a friend or someone you know asks you to tell them funny things about wheelchairs or wheelchair jokes in general you can tell them that you are sure they wonder why other humans cannot keep up with their peace. There’s no way somebody who is walking will be able to keep up when following a person in a wheelchair going at the same pace.
It’s going to be easy for a person in a wheelchair to cover more distance with the same amount of energy as a person who is walking. You could also say
- Doesn’t it bother you when humans don’t keep up the pace
- You must feel like a cyborg among humans because they cannot match your pace.
How Do You Deal With The Pain In The Ass?
You know the idea of a pain in the ass is not physical. But you can use it as a comical relief when talking to someone in a wheelchair. You could say “Since you are always sitting on this chair, how do you deal with the pain in the ass that comes with it.” Other ways you can say it include:
- People should take you seriously when you say you have a pain in the ass
- The pain in the ass for you could be in your ass
Some Apps Pay People To Walk. You’d Have Started A Profitable Side Gig
We all know that there are apps designed to pay people while they walk. A person in a wheelchair will not be able to participate in such a paid gig because they are unable to walk. This is going to be funny, especially if they ask you to tell them something funny and in one of your conversations, they talked about their intention to start a side gig that could give them some money. If they’re cool with your jokes you could say this to them even without them asking you for wheelchair jokes.
If You Had A Cheating Boyfriend, You Wouldn’t Be Able To Walk Out On Him
Another savage thing to say to someone in a wheelchair is “If you had a cheating boyfriend, you wouldn’t be able to walk out on him.” You can tweak it if the person in the wheelchair is a guy. They are probably going to roll away from their cheating boyfriends or girlfriends if they find them. So this is a very good one to use.
It Must Be Weird To Not Be Able To Walk Away From Situations
A little bit like the previous response telling them that “It must be weird not to be able to walk away from situations” is another way to tell a funny joke to someone in a wheelchair. They may probably roll out of situations rather than walk away.
How Do You Feel When People Say “You Need To Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone”
The idea of stepping out of your comfort zone can be taken to another level when someone in a wheelchair asks to be told a joke. Here, the person in the wheelchair would understand that you are only saying it to joke.
And Then She Laughed And Slapped Her Knee So Hard But Then I Knew She Didn’t Feel It
This statement requires some storytelling but this is your narrative’s main part. So, you can begin by narrating a funny story to them about something. It could be fictional or true. The idea is to come to a point in the story where you say “And then she laughed and slapped her knee so hard but then I knew she didn’t feel it.”
It may take some time before the person gets it and you might need not to rush this part so that they get the full message quickly.
Do You Think People In Wheelchairs Will Be Good At Stand-Up Comedy?
Whether they ask you to tell them a joke or not, provided they have nothing against your wheelchair jokes, you can ask the person “Do you think people in wheelchairs will be good at stand-up comedy?” Another way you can say this is “If someone in a wheelchair started comedy, would they be stand-up comedians?”
Life Must Be Hard For People In Wheelchairs. Do You Know Why? Cause They Cannot Stand Up For Themselves
To use this statement, you can begin with “Life must be hard for people in wheelchairs. Wanna know why?” They should respond with “Why?” That is when you hit them with the “Because they cannot stand up for themselves.”
Standing up for one’s self doesn’t refer to literally standing up but when you use it that way it attempts a swipe at the person. Provided they asked to be made fun of, you can try this.
People In Wheelchairs Are Always Taking Advantage Of You Know Why? Because They Can Be Easily Pushed Around
In many cases, people in wheelchairs have to be carried around if they haven’t mastered rolling themselves or need help to access certain building floors. This can be a great angle to draw inspiration for your joke.
One way to phrase your joke is to say “People in wheelchairs are always taken advantage of. You know why?” When your audience asks why, you can say “Because they are easily pushed around.”
- Being in a wheelchair means you will be taken advantage of. People tend to just want to push you around
Do You Know What A Wheelchair And A Shopping Cart Have In Common? They Both Carry Vegetables
To wrap up, you should also try asking “Do you know what a wheelchair and a shopping cart have in common?” Now wait for the person to ask “Why?” When they do, you can then hit them with the “They both carry vegetables.”
There’s this joke about how someone in a wheelchair can be described as a vegetable so everyone would get the joke. That’s why this statement makes it to the list.
Before You Go
It is important to note that joking about someone in a wheelchair can be highly insensitive and inappropriate. Not many people are going to be happy about being confined to a wheelchair and making fun of their disability can be deeply hurtful and demeaning.
While I have provided this list of funny things to say to someone in a wheelchair, it should only be said under one condition: the person in the wheelchair has asked and they are mature enough to handle any of these words.
Some of the responses I have provided may be used as wheelchair jokes generally but as you have seen, some address the individual directly. If they aren’t happy with such stereotypes and stigma, you may be pushing them into depression which is already too much woe considering their condition.
