Adult humor and real experiences brought to the stage you can relate with is what this guy and his puppet buddies will deliver to you! I was told about this guy by a friend who said that Jeff was great. I said "You actually watch a guy that makes a living with dolls and talks to himself?" He replied, "You will understand, just watch this!" So I sat down, started to watch this man and within a few minutes I was hooked on Jeff Dunham's stand-up act and then and all his buddies who just come to life right before your eyes! Jeff Dunham is without a doubt one very talented individual. He actually builds, from scratch, some of the "Buddies" he uses in his show, and they are a hoot!!! I also believe he writes his own material which makes him one very smart but sarcastic "smart-ass" that you can relate your life with. The funniest thing is that he picks on himself and the audience through his buddies who throw occasional insults at him while discussing life experiences we can all relate to which makes all of them seem REAL! These "buddies" also try to aggravate him with smarter than the average doll comments and have no problem dropping all kinds of words including the "F" bomb. The characters include; a grumpy old man named "Walter" who has a consistent frown on his face and bitches about his life, his wife and gives Jeff crap about his life as well; a purple "Sesame Street looking" puppet named "Peanut" who moves like he is on crack or speed and is the biggest smart ass of them all; a skeleton with working eyeballs who is a dead terrorist named "Achmed" that is always shouting "Silence!!! I kill you!!!", a jalopino pepper on a stick named "Jose'" who fights with Peanut while Jeff tries to play referee; a black man named "Sweet Daddy D" who Jeff claims is his manager, and last but not least a super hero with a huge nose named "Melvin" who talks about his "cloth piercing x-ray vision" and accidentally loses his hairpiece which embarrasses him during the show. I laugh till my gut hurts each time I watch this guy! Rent it if you don't believe me, but I am telling you once again, If adult humor and extreme laughter is what you enjoy, check Jeff out! All of his DVD's are worth getting!Read full review
Jeff Dunham's unique comic genius and superb talent as a ventriloquist is showcased in this video. The multiple puppets take on a life of their own with their distinct, engaging personalities. The fast-paced dialogue between puppet and puppeteer (not to mention, puppet and puppet dialogue and puppet, puppet and puppeteer dialogue!) makes this video easily enjoyed again and again. This video contains adult content including, but not limited to, references to homosexuality, terrorism and illegal immigration. Contains occassional off-color language. I saw this several times within weeks and decided to buy it for our own collection. I am usually conservative in my viewing choices while my husband is the opposite, but we've both enjoyed this video again and again.
It's not hard to see why Jeff Dunham took the number one spot in Comedy Central's Stand-Up Showdown in January 2008 with this album! Just like his other DVD, Arguing with Myself, he puts the comedic pedal to the metal and never lets up. From his initial stand-up routine; to his new ventriloquist dummies, Achmed the Dead Terrorist and Melvin the Superhero; to Walter, Jose the Jalapeno, and Peanut; this is a total, laugh-out-loud performance worth owning. Dunham excels at using his "friends" to put across edgy material with a twist. Achmed the Dead Terrorist gives him a voice about terrorism that is unique. Even when Melvin the Superhero has a wardrobe malfunction- his hair falls off- Dunham adlibs and makes it a hysterical part of the routine. Perhaps the most astonishing part of his performance is when he hilariously promotes his website for two minutes, using Peanut as a vehicle. If you love ventriloquists, Spark of Insanity is a must have DVD. If you are sensitive to edgy subject matter or are offended by four-letter language, you might consider another comedian. Having said that, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND this DVD!Read full review
I own several if not all of Jeff's DVD's. My favorite character is Walter follow closely by Peanut. Unlike some performers Jeff goes non-stop for the entire time. With each new DVD Jeff just keeps getting better and better. I found out about Jeff through a friend of my wife's. They were talking while Jeff was on Comedy Central. Her friend told my wife to check it out. We have been fans ever since. One of the things that I like is that on one of his DVD you can select "Blip" or No Blip." I wish he would do that for all of his shows. But if your sense of humor is a little offbeat, you will really enjoy him. One of the special features recently was Jeff showed the steps it takes from thinking about a new character all the way to the actually creation process. I really found that interesting. In conclusion, if you buy one of his DVD's and do not like it. Send it to me.Read full review
Jeff Dunham and his five crazy, out of this world set of friends, prove their valor again in this hilarious stand-up comedy special. Jeff starts off his special with his puppet Walter, an opinionated, and sarcastic old man, who, is not afraid or ashamed to speak his mind. His "I don't give a damn" attitude says it all. Jeff then introduces a new puppet, Achmed the dead terrorist. Achmed was a suicide bomber, who, sucessfully blew himself up, but that was it. With his twisted sense of humor, he fits right in with the rest of the gang. Jeff then brings out Melvin the superhero. Melvin nose, I mean knows no fear. He has x-ray vision and can stop a speeding bullet, once. His arch nemesis is Pinocchio. Did I mention he can fly as far as Jeff can throw him? Next Jeff brings out the one and only Peanut. This off the wall, energetic, outspoken, and hilarious purple puppet, is one of a kind! He has no shame! He loves giving Jeff's fifth puppet, Jose Jalapeno on a Stick, a hard time. Jose is very calm but still very funny. Don't worry, he is here legally. Jeff and his unforgettable puppets will keep you laughing from beginning to end.Read full review
