Life's Too Short - Representation of Disability

This clip is funny because he went to a lot of effort in un plumbing the washing machine, pushing it along and dumping it, to find out that he's dumped the new one and not the old one.
In this clip, Warwick Davis is presented as pitiable, laughable and a burden.
We are meant to be laughing at the disabled person, but not because he is disabled, but because he was the one who got the worst of the situation.
