Here's an excerpt from the front page of TourettesGuy.com:
"Although he has been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, his actions are exaggerated by other problems (including alcohol) and are not consistent with most Tourette Syndrome sufferers."
If one were to peruse through the couple dozen videos featured on the site, it would become quite clear that Tourettes Guy, or rather, Danny, has a drinking problem, if not Tourettes Syndrome. So whether Danny's afflicted with Tourettes or not, he's one angry dude; however, given the consistencies and inconsistencies found throughout his videos, it's arguable as to whether or not the entire video collection is a staged performance. Staged or not, the hilarity stays.
In one of his earlier videos, Danny is found mowing the lawn, while being chased by an unseen swarm of bees. The subsequent knee-jerk reaction to this annoyance is Danny screaming, "Bob Saget!" He later plays a game of pool and finds himself distracted by a bullhorn, to which he again replies, "Bob Saget!" His mockery of small-time and washed-up celebrities seems to be a coined ritual that he's put on for show, as he also pokes fun at TV Cook, Dom DeLouise and family film actor, Rick Moranis:
This proves my point, he does have the desiese, but the severity can not be dertimined, I never sayed he wasnt drunk in the vidios. just cause someone has a illness does not mean they cannot still have a sense of humor or every day problems like the rest of us
