I'd say that depends.

If the person is a friend of yours and has a sense of humor about their situation, then no, it's not offensive.


If it's someone you just met on the streets, or someone's who's just been rendered handicapped and hasn't yet come to grips with it, or someone who's sensitive about it, then yeah - I'd say it could be extremely offensive.

Yes. As one can plainly see by this video, physical deformities are not even remotely humorous:
