UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Ersbel Oraph I found out about Jeff Dunham on Youtube. And in clips one to three minutes long he was funny. But fast forward to Netflix. And it turns out it's hard to fill up an hour with only "Silence, I kill you!" And the show is even longer.Really, what's with the puppet? I mean it's not a puppet show. And comedy can be quite good by mimicking a dialogue with only one comedian. Eddie Murphy did it and he is hilarious. Robin Williams too. Also excellent results. But the need for the dummy? Keep the puppet!
madelineelainecohn I don't know if it's because I'm older, because Jeff Dunham is washed up or some combination of the two but I could not get through more than 10 minutes of this special. Every single joke was essentially the low hanging fruit of comedy. Jokes that have been made a million times about the same topics. A lot of his material is based on racial/ethnic/cultural stereotypes and it's just not funny anymore.
classicsoncall There's no denying that Jeff Dunham is not afraid of self deprecating humor. This comedy special is particularly rife with him taking shots at himself via his array of characters. This time out he's got Walter, Bubba J, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Peanut, and a new creation for the Dublin, Ireland crowd - Seamus, the Irish Baby. Dunham prefaced his remarks about Seamus by stating that he and his wife were in Ireland in part to adopt a baby there, but if that happened, one doesn't come away knowing that or if it was part of his schtick for the evening. I like Dunham generally but I thought there was a bit too much vulgarity in this show, especially when the baby character comes out with the 'F' word every so often. Not particularly becoming of the character, who also has an affinity for alcohol, being Irish don't you know. The summary quote above was delivered during Dunham's conversation with Achmed, but as I think about it now, I can't remember who said it. Well, not really, it had to be Dunham either way.
tabipha I remember when Jeff used to be funny!! I even saw him in person in Pittsburgh in this smallish comedy club and were really close to the stage and I laughed out loud many times, but this special barely had me cracking a smile for the most part, and I only laughed out loud once during the whole 68 mins!! His new puppet, Seamus the baby, was not only NOT funny, he was hard to look at and could have been designed so much better!! For something supposed to be a human child, Jeff should have given him 10 fingers and 10 toes!! I'm glad there was no Sweet Daddy Dee cuz I never found him funny either, but he should NEVER have cut out Jose. Also, at the beginning, when he asks about why the special was filmed in Ireland, he goes into this big explanation, but NEVER answers the question. Thankfully, he does later on! The jokes about his age got old really fast and he didn't need to have so many of the puppets talk about it either! I find it odd that there are numerous ventriloquists now that traded in their "older models" for younger ones once they got famous, and all the ones I've seen got less funny after they got remarried. Just an interesting fact!!
