Product Description
From Amazon.com
Arguing With Myself, a recorded live performance of ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, portrays a comedian whose revival of an old-fashioned art has made ventriloquism more relevant to modern societal concerns. Starring his six main characters, from Bubba Jay, a Nascar-obsessed hick, to Peanut, a flamboyant gay monkey, Dunham’s puppets have dirty but relatively inoffensive senses of humor that mock the American Dream. One can easily see why Jay Leno champions Dunham, as his skits contain a similar sly sarcasm disguised as wholesome teasing aimed at men indebted to their ugly wives, for example, or people who live their lives working in cubicles. At times, though, Dunham’s humor seems to lose its ironic distance, especially as he interacts with puppets like Jose Jalapeño, a Cuban chile pepper, or Sweet Daddy D, a Black pimp, both reliant on the antiquated humor once popularized in cartoons by racial caricature. Since the entire audience in the film is white, it is difficult to assess whether or not African-Americans or Latinos would find Dunham funny. In other words, Dunham’s humor isn’t overtly offensive enough to make fun of ethnic heritage. However, his skills as a ventriloquist alone make him a fascinating entertainer, and anyone interested in how puppetry and ventriloquism has progressed over the decades would benefit from watching Dunham bring life to his wooden friends. --Trinie Dalton
Description
As straight man to some of the most hilarious pint-sized partners in show business, Jeff Dunham has become one of the most successful touring comics ever and has amassed legions of loyal fans! At the American Comedy Awards, Dunham was voted Male Stand-Up Comic of the Year, an honor shared with the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Jeff Foxworthy and Robin Williams. Thousands of sold-out theater and comedy club performances, his own top-rated special on Comedy Central and countless TV guest spots - including numerous Tonight Show appearances (with both Leno and Carson) - have won him accolades and success. The reason why is very simple: he and his buddies are funny as hell. Oh, and by the way... Jeff Dunham is a ventriloquist.
Now see for yourself, on a DVD that will set the new standard for how truly awesome a comedy DVD can be. Join Jeff and his outspoken-often-edgy characters: Walter, Peanut, Jose Jalapeno (...on a steeek!), Bubba J and Sweet Daddy Dee for a live show that will have you on the floor laughing!
Contains both BLEEPED and NON-BLEEPED soundtracks on the same disc.

This review is from: Dunham;Jeff Arguing W/Myself (DVD)
An excellent show, extremely funny. What an amazing sense of humor, and a quick wit with improv. Does an excellent job of ventriliquism, has a great set of characters, from Walter (a loveable and grouchy old man), Peanut (loved the outtake with his hair falling out). Loved the improv of an audience member leaving and Walter patiently waiting his return. An excellent video that we have shown other family members who also want to own this DVD. Worth it for the laughs!!!!

Pure, unbridled, indescribable hilarity.... ON A STICK!,

This review is from: Dunham;Jeff Arguing W/Myself (DVD)
Ventriloquism in comedy is an art to be respected and admired. Among ventriloquists throughout North America, Jeff Dunham is known to be one of the best. In 'Arguing With Myself,' Jeff showcases his entire cast of co-stars. There's the grizzled, cynical vietnam war vet Walter, his 'manager' and 'Player In Management Profession' (P.I.M.P.) Sweet Daddy Dee, his dimwitted, beer-guzzling, NASCAR loving Bubba J, his hyperactive, off the wall Peanut, and lastly the mild-mannered, lethargic Jose Jalapeno (on a stick).Jeff Dunham is top notch in delivering a witty brand of comedy, and one cannot help but marvel at how well he interacts with his dummies, switching character personalities in his head at the snap of a finger. You will have to remind yourself constantly (especially during Peanut and Jose's segment) that he is controlling both puppets seperately from each other. Jeff Dunham is a safe bet when it comes to comedy. Pick this up today!

This DVD is so funny and so typically Jeff Dunham. I don't care for the profanity in itbut the humour is just so funny. I don't know why comedians feel the need for course language.
