Presidential loafers

Describing FDR as "our nation's laziest president" could also be a reference to the fact that Roosevelt, who suffered from polio or Guillain-Barré syndrome, spent most of his time outside public view confined to a wheelchair.

Arguments for:

Arguments against:

  • I think the joke is more on the word "Loafing".
  • FDR was chosen due to Franklin DelaNo Loafing.
    • As if the joke needs more explaining: Telling someone "no loafing" means telling them they're lazy. Name similarity as pointed out above, so by extension, FDR was lazy. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with his disabled status.
  • It would be really mean of TBC to make fun of the disabled.
    • It would be more than that. They'd anger a huge chunk of their American audience, given FDR's continued popularity.

Additional comments:

  • Mean or not, they could still make fun of the disabled.
    • As a side note, they have no problem with making fun of disabled puppies.
      • As a sider note, Brudder is not disabled, just the offspring of a dog and a unicycle. And I don't think they'll make fun of a president.
  • Given the humpor type of Strong Sad, the name Franklin Delano Loafing probably refers to a separate entity entirely from the real FDR.
