Does the one girl have Down Syndrome?


I am not being a troll. I am actually disturbed that I can not tell if she does or not.

On a side note, this was terrible. Unless they focus entirely on the monkey, this is another DOA show for NBC.

Great, now we gotta do the rest of this thing with Danny Elfman!

Seems like it, I thought she looked like Jack Black with a wig.

I liked it, but I'm an animal dork.

But yeah, that girl...where did they find her????

i've seen her in something else but i can't remember what

re: does she have downs syndrome, obviously not, people with downs usually show speech impediments along with the facial features

reply

She is from UCB Los Angeles and is part of several comedy troupes.

It does seem to me like she has facial features similar to those with certain mental disorders, and she does in fact have some sort of speech issue. I can't tell if that's the character or the actor though. I like this show EXCEPT for her. She's unsettling.

reply

They made a mistake casting her, she looks like a female school bus driver. She's the kind of person people don't want to see on television.

reply

She was on too much tonight...and we're supposed to believe she's got guys chasing her? She should be used sparingly.

not concerned by a monkey in a lab coat going by the name of Dr Rizzo, but your mind is blown by the premise that ugly chicks get c*ck too?

also: comedy.

did the lack of a laugh track throw you?

I'm already a few episodes in, so I'm used to the monkey in a lab coat. Most of my shows don't have a laugh track, so just shut up. Not everyone loves Angela, deal with it.

ha!

"I'm used to the monkey in a lab coat"

my point exactly, thanks. the monkey ain't a thing for you (now) but 'ugly' chicks getting c*ck is a stretch, seemingly.

i love the thought of you being 'used' to the monkey in a lab coat. suggests you weren't initially. i picture you diving behind the couch the first time Dr Rizzo made his appearance. mid way through ep2 tentatively returning to the couch. careful.. c*ck scoring uglies about.

You're an annoying little gnat. This isn't about her being "ugly", she's masculine and annoying. Like yourself.

OP is a moron.

Never heard of a 'Cleft Palate'?

reply

Cleft palate? Do you even know what that is?

reply

See, I was originally against the character.

And then I realised if the character was male, I'd be laughing my arse off.

I've seen plenty of fat unattractive men making very similar jokes.

So I just rolled with it. And now I'm laughing.

I pictured her as a female John Belushi and that helped. She didn't bug me as much last night.

Wouldn't wanna be a girl in this world...

reply

So, women have to be model perfect or else they have Downs Syndrome?

I mean men can be imperfect and tell jokes. But if a woman isn't a model type then she can't be funny or something is wrong with her?

I don't get it. If I was the actress in this post, I'd be upset if people thought I had a mental disorder because I wasn't perfect looking. That view of life is rather gross.

Why would a person with Downs Syndrome be working at an animal hospital anyway? I would think a medical degree would be hard to come by for a person with DS, maybe I am wrong.

reply

I thought about that too, maybe because she's female I'm put off by her.
