Excuse me, but I am an Asperger's guy, and I don't mean to sound a glob of ACLU shit, but I found that specific riff on the "Batman and Robin" rifftrax offensive. Asperger's doesn't cripple anyone. Screws with being social, yes, but nothing else. Having just typed that, I get the joke. I still don't find it funny.
Dear Buttless in Brunswik,
Sounds like you need to play more videogames, galpal!
And not just the ones where you're a dog or a frog.
I'm talking about the explodey ones. The kind that make you REAL dizzy when you play 'em. Then maybe Joey will stop talking about his ex.

I think you're taking this just a tad too seriously.

If everyone took the jokes the guys make seriously, fat and bald people would've killed the Riffers years ago... :)

We're being overrun with Asperger's syndrome of late.  The rifftrax I guess at least topical and current.  Fresh!  We could start an educational campaign.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.  It's just that in my almost 30 years of life I've met only one person who claimed to have this disease and suddenly, within the last few weeks, there's 2 vocal forum folks with it and a riff about it.

It's like rain on your wedding day ironic.

Well we'll have to blame your choice of subforum on something else then. :)

To play Devils Advocate here: When I heard the joke, I took it as the syndrome crippled his ability to have a sidekick. The joke was not indicating that those with this disease are unable to use their limbs or brain properly.
That being said, certain jokes of mike and the gang could have offended (I admit it, I am Rachel Ray) but i don't let it get to me. If the joke doesn't sit right with you, wait about 5 seconds, another great one is comin up
