All I wanted to do was watch "The Daily
Show"...I didn't know tuning in 5 minutes early that I'ld see Jeff Dunham, one of the most recognizable
ventriloquists in the world. He's back...and he's even more unfunny. There's a
reason why you never hear anyone say, "My favorite comedians are Dave
Attell, Bill Hicks and Jeff Dunham."
He's got a couple of new puppets since I've
last seen him. He used to just use:
- Walter - an old man puppet to do tired
grumpy-old-man jokes
- Jose Jalapeno On-A-Stick - to do hacky
Mexican accent jokes, and
- Peanut - to annoy anyone with taste
Now he's got a redneck doll (Bubba J) to no
doubt cash in on the Blue Collar comedy thingy and be even more successful at
county fairs. "I like watchin' NASCAR and drinkin' beer!!" (actual
quote) And Sweet Daddy Dee...who I'm guessing is a pimp. Hey, after 20 years of comedy, he finally perfected
that "black voice" he's been working on!
Oh man, when's the Asian doll showing up? When
audiences find you irrelevant again? It must be nice making money off of cliche
jokes based on minority stereotypes. Bravo, jackass.
I did notice one thing, though. The whole
point of a ventriloquist is to make the puppet "talk" without moving
your lips, right? Well, if I can see your sagging neck fat move every time you
talk, it defeats the purpose of not moving your lips. That's fucking gross, old
man.
"You're the dummy!"
"No, you're the dummy!"
"No, you're the dummy!"
(audience applauses...and we don't know why)
